OCTOBIsR 10.
es Our fituation becomes more and more truly
dreadful and melancholy, and it does not appear to
receive much benefit by removing, as many who left
the Gattifou on the fin it attack have fines rclapfed
in the Bay, and fallen victims to the Fever. Among
the late deaths may be enumerated, Mr. GALA°, the
Imperial Conful ; Mr. FREDERICK RALEIGH : Mr.
isensow, brother to the Judge; Mr. NUGENT,
mgh Pro&or.

" The Contagion catches all ranks, and few that
are feverely attacked efcape, with life. What adds
co our golfer,' is, that we cannot get any affiftance,
ess all fervants, on appearance of a lick mit% in the
boufe, immediately run away; and for tome days
pall people could barely be collated to bury the
dead. We have only the chance of cold or bad
weather fetting in to drive away or diffipate the in-
heed air that Ihrrounds us."
In another Letter from Gibraltar the following
particulars are Rated— ,
“ The dreadful malady .with which this place is
steed, was introduced by means of about 20 Spa-
' bleeds getting in undikovered by the guards. They
'took up their refidence in firm; tenements on the
'rewires of Mr. WILLIAM BOYD' and foon after
Iz
of them died, and the Proprietor of the premifes and
his wife flsared the fame fate. It was loon afcertained
that they were part of the people who had in a fit
of defperation forced their way through the cordon
of troops placed round Malaga, to prevent the in-
trodueron of the diforder into other parts of the
counts,. If a guard had been placed round thefe
predsifes at this juncture to prevent the diforder com-
municating to other parts of the town, its fatal ef-
fats might have been prevented from becoming fu
general.
• " A (man vac!, in which about thirty of the in.
habitants had embarked fur Oran to efcape the ma-
lady, was picked up at lea with only three perfons in
if, the raft having died of the Peftilence, which bad
broke out among them loon after their departure."

precipitate flight from a place where the innocent
and guilty are confounded, and where even induari-
cue poverty endeavours in vain to ply its ufeful la-

bolds.
