Advices from the Isle of France have been re-
ceived to the 22d of December. Though only a
tea, days later in date, they contain many addi-
tional particulars concerning the malignant disor-
der prevalent there. The number of blacks who
had fallen victims to its violence within a few
weeks exceeded 2000. The white inhabitants,
with very few exceptions, bail been free from at-
tack. The fatal quality of the disease was much
