GIBRALTAR.

It has been Rated in fome of the Newfpapers that
Gavernment have received accounts from Gibraltar
ten days later than thofe which have been publiffied.
We cannot find that there is any truth in this Rate-
ment. We underfland, on the contrary, that the
lateß official difpatches are of the loth of Otßober,
at which time the daily number of deaths had not
materially decreafed ; thofe who fin-sired the malady
were upon an average abodt two in three.—Mr.Pow-
PALL, Storekeeper, was, it is laid, alive at the date
of the difpatches.

The faisuits frigate, WASP loop, and LtvsLY 1
frigate, with the Camel and Prevoyante &ore•thips,
and a fleet bound to Lilbon, Oporto, Gibraltar, and
the Mediterranean, failed from Portfmouth on Tuef-
day, with the wind at N. E. General Fox, who
was Come months fine appointed Lieut. Governor
of Gibraltar, embarked alto to affume the command
of that garrifon, in the place of Sir Two:sag TRIGG'.
The Fleet with which be failed carries out Come troops,
which are intended as a partial reinforcement.
In addition to this temporary fupply, which will
be fully fufficient to enfure the fafety of the garrifon
againft any efforts the Spaniards could make againft
it, for Come weeks at lei& ; orders have been given
to fend out, with all pollible difpatch, every kind of
ftores, provifiun and clothing, and at the fame time
we underftand a confiderable reinforcement of troops
will be embarked for that place.
The following letter is from Capt. bl'Eru Lev, of
the Roma, to his owner in London :

Olbnlsar Mole, O&. si.

. In eonfequence of the 'Went malady add& now rages in the
garrifon and Inhabitants of this *mar ykauaning ildps„ includ-
ing the Rana, have been forbidden, by an order from the Gover-
nor, to land any part of their cargoes. The mortality Is dread-
ful. The deaths have amounted, for kveral days psft, to more
than too per dem. The diforder has not yet reached the Clip-
ping. Some of my men have been nightly intqfpored We are in
=timid alarm, and I am molt anxious to leave this place."

Laa night arid orders were knt to the feveral
ports, to employ the utmoa vigilance in the ezami•
nation of veffels of every defcription, that may arrive
from Gibraltar and the ports of Spain.

Several brigs have been purchafed for the purpofe
of being fitted for fire-(hips, within thefe few days.

By the laa Hamburgh mail, letters were received
from Lord GaAtivitts Livisom Gowsa, aating his
fate arrival at Peterfburgh, and giving the moll fa-
tisfalory account of the reception he erperienced at
the Imperial Court. The day after his arrival he
had an audience of the Emperor, who, as a teflimr-
nial of the high refpeiff in which he held the Repre-
fentative of his Britannic lifajefly, invited his Lord-
fhip to dine with him on the fi.llowing day.

By letters received at Hull, on Tuefday, from Car-
thagena, it appears that that city fullers fever ely
from the contagious diforder lately prevalent at Ma-
laga. Captain MIDLIY, of the brig Loyal Volunteer,
of that port, writes, under the date of the gth of
Oftober, that, on the preceding day, he had landed
all his ;ands for Carthagena in the Cullom Houle,
and had obtained a clean bill of health to proceed to
Barcelona. AU trade was tufpended ; all the mer-
chants and people of property had retired into the
country ; and cn the day he wrote the port was to-
tally !hut, and no bills of health granted. Captain
MEULEY adds, that during his Qay at the port of
Carthagena, upwards of fifty died daily, and that
whole families had been carried off—his crew enjoy-
ed perteet health. The above is corroborated by let-
ters from the confignees of the brig Loyal Volunteer,
dated the 9th, who had fled to the town of La Palma,
on the 7th of Oaober.

The Barrack-Mailer of Chelmsford has recei►ed
direetions to be immediately prepared to receive and
accommodate a brigade of Royal Artillery, conlia-
ing of four guns, &c. now on their way thither.

Lall week the Oxfordfhire Militia marched through
Chelmsford in different divifions for Colcheiler,
where they arrived on Monday and Tuefday, and
are to occupy the barracks for the winter.
On Monday lad, the WeR Suffolk and EAR Mid-
dicier Regiments of Militia marched into Ipfwich
from camp, which, with the Weft York, and Well-
minfier, form the Brigade under the command of
Lord CHARLES FITZROY.

On Thurfday and Frida♦ the Ea ft York, from
Chatham, paled through Maidflone for Alht
Barracks.

The tBth, s3d, and sgth Regiments marched into
Canterbury on Friday hail; the 18th and 53d from

under orders to march this day to the new Barracks
on Dover Heights.
In conformity to the original plan of the General
Defence Bill, magazines ate building in many places
in the interior parts of the country, in central port-
tions, for warlike Rorer and provition,. Very confi-
ds4able ereElions of this kind are making at Hunger-
ford. in Berkfitire, where five large magazines are
building, and nearly completed. The place where
they are built is about three quarters of a mile from
I the high road. The two extreme ones are advanced,
and the three centre ones are in a line ; but they are
each In detached, that the %the& will extend a mile
from right to left; they arc very fpacious. A party
of the 9th Light Dragoons do duty there at prefent.
LaR week, three privates of the zoth Light Dra-
goons def.! ted together Morn their quartets at Ipt:
with, with thcir h.•rtcs and accoutrements; they were
purfued AI loon as mitred. by feveral parties from the
Regiment in dig', rent direltion,, one of which, on
reaching Thetford, found that the fugitives had quit-
ted the town but an hour before, having abandoned
their horfes, which were found at Stanton, but re-
tained their pillols.
