, The accounts brought from Gibraltar by the Maid-
flone frigate, which left the Bay on the t ith ult, are
moll diftrefEng. General BARNETT, whom our lift
advices deferibed as being moil aftive in adminifter-
ing relief to die lick, and proving hirnfelf a father to
the improreEt:d orphans, has fallen a facrifice to his
humanity. Letters of the Bth mention his indifpo-
: he became worfe on the 9th, and died on the
following day. Lord Poona m Cotnrow, Aid-de.
Camp to the General, (oared his dangers and his fate.
Major RALeIGH is alfo dead.
It has been clearly afcertained that the fever is of
the fame nature as that which had proved fo deffrue-
tire at Malaga, and was introduced froM that place
into Gibraltar through the medium of a Spanifh Fa-
mily. A great deal of the mifchicf has been attri-
buted to an unfortunate difference of opinion among
the medical men at Gibraltar, refpaling the na.
tore of the diforder, and the manner of treating it.
—When the mortality fiat began to be fo great, a
cordon of troops was drawn round the town, to pre-
vent any intercourfe with thole out ci!' it ; but it
was removed in conlequence of the violent clamour
of the people in the tcran, at being Phut up where the
fever committed Each dreadful ravages. No fooner
were the troops withdrawn, than the people mixed in-
difcriminately with each other, add the mortality con.
Cequently increafed. Two hundred perfons were raid
to have got on board a fis;p bowid to Malta, who
had agreed to give twenty guineas each for their
paffage. The grata part of them, it is feared,
were dictated, when the trip failed; and as no mcdi.
cal afillance was on board, their lunation mull be
dreadful. Thirty others cleared on board another
veffel, and engaged for a paffage to Oran ; they were
alfo without medical aid, and their fate was what
might be expiFsl,:d from their imprudence. Twenty.
(even of thole unfortunate perfons died in the courfe
of a day or two, and the remaining three jumped
overboard when in fight of the MA11)31'0141 frigate,
in hopes of being picked up and conveyed to Eng-
land. The frigate raved their lives, but fent them
into Giaraltar. On the morning of the t tth, the
wind had changed and rain wa.: expeeled, which bad •
been long wthed for to clear the air.
An a.ta...k from the Sprniards, its the relent dif-
fretted flaw of the Gwif‘u, u much aPPicheuclA
by many.

Our accounts frnm Cadiz reach down to the lsth
ult. at which time the fever continued to rage : the
deaths amounted to about fixty a day. Such is the
apathy of the inhabitants, that very little alarm ap.
pears to be excite." among them. This is afcribed to
the great numbers that have already had the diforder,
and, therefore, are not liable to take it a fccond time.

Some accounts from Spain Rate, that a perfonage
of the fira rank and confequence in that kingdom is
now in confinement. We do not pretend to under-
hand who is meant, but we hope the intelligence will
prove unfounded.

It is Hated, that the KING of Paussta bas been fo
offended with the condud of France, refpeding Sir
Gaoacs Rumaotn, that he has determined to permit
no more French troops to pals into the Eledlorate of
Hanover and the North of Germany. This can
hardly be correct. It is only twelve days lime Sir
Gccutos was kidnapped, More time muff pars be-
fore the determination of any of the Continental
Courts can be known.
