AZ TRACT or 1 LETTER ROM GIARALTAA, DATED

OCTOBER 10.
El Our fituation becomes more and more truly
dreadful and melancholy, and it does not appear to
receive much ben•fit by removing, as many who left
the Gattifon on the lint attack have fume rclapfed
in the Bay, and fallen victims to the Fever. Among
the late deaths may be enumerated, Mr. Ger. zo, the
Imperial Conful ; Mr. FREDERICK RALEIGH: Mr.
kipli SON, brother to the Judge; Mr. Nu G EST,
Protor.
" The Contagion catches all ranks, and few that
feverely attacked efcape, with life. What adds
So our tnifery is, that we cannot get arty affiftance,
es all fervants, on appearance of a lick pttfou in the
houfe, immediately nut away; and for fome days
paft people could barely be collated to bury ;he
dead. We have only the chance of cold or bad
weather fetting in to drive away or dilEpate the in-
Fated air that furrounds us."
In another Letter from Gibraltar the following

_
particulars are flared— ,
“ The dreadful malady .with which this place is
illiaed, was introduced bymeans of about 20 Spa-
' Wards getting in undifcovered by the guards. They
'took ?Er their refidence in come tenements on the
premtfes of Mr. WILLIAM BOYD, and Coon after 12
of tbem died, and the Proprietor of the preinifes and
his wife flared the fame fate. It was loon afcertained
that they were part of the people who bad in a fit
of clefperation forced their way through tke cordon
of troops placed round Malaga, to prevent the in-
trodueron of the diforder into other parts of the
country. If a guard had been placed round there
premWes at this juncture to prevent the diforder com-
municating to other parts of the town, its fatal ef-
fees might have been prevented from becoming Cu
general.
