DREADFUL EPIIILMIC DISEASE AT ST. HELENA.

- -
Letters received from St. Helena, by his Nlajelly'r
(hip Theseus, WEiCil left that Mallet the 15th of
April, bring t account of the intioduCtion of a
dreadful fpecies of me•tfl!s among the inhabitants—
a diforder which was never known before on that
ifland, and which has now proved f,:tal te one third
of its popolati•tn.
It appears to have been brought from the Cape of
Good Hope, where it had occafioned fimilar rava-
ges, by flme perfons of the fleet that touched at St.
Helena in February lull. It was known on the Mind
that the diforder prevailed in the fleet, and every poi-
fible precaution was obferved, by keeping the vefrels
as much in a !late of quarantine as the nzture of
citcumttances would pet mit ; but, from the milcon-
chid and Itme of gain of f• me of the boater dares, an

order fmn et mmunicated irk!f to the inhabitants of
St. James's Valley, whence it fpread over the whole

at the Cape it occafioned a general depteflion of
Ipirtts, and a general mourning at St. Helena, for

diforder.
The calls for the attendance on the tick were In

therefore obliged to apply for profeflional allillance,
