This morning arrived a mail from Lilbon, brought
to Falmouth by the Panics or Weiss packet, in
fourteen days.
Different letters from Gibraltar, dated the sad
and zath December, exprefs great fatisfaCtion at the
arrival of General Fox, and at the vigorous mea-
lures he was adopting for extirpating the contagion
in that garrifon. All carts were put in requifition,
and ordered every day, Sunday included, in remov-
ing thofe loads of filth and rubbifh which had been
fuffered to accumulate in the ftreets of the town, and
from which the difeafe certainly acquired much of its
malignity. The General had alfo appointed a Board
of Health, of which General DIUMMOND was Prefi-
dent. The other Members were Drs. BOLTON, FEL.
Lows, and Pyre, with Meffrs. ROSS, SMITH, SWEET-
LAND, RANKINE, and ALLARDICE, five of the moll re-
fpatable merchants of the place, who are to meet as
=alum may require, and to point the molt effedual
means for purifying the town, and for guarding
agtinß a fimilar calamity ever being imported into
Gibraltar ; and which, it is now afcertained, this
dreadful peftilence undoubtedly was, both from Ma-
laga and other parts of Spain. The fame letters from
Gibraltar add, that Geneial Fox had, with great
prudence and propriety, excluded any of the faculty
from being Members of the Board of Health, who
Co unfortunately miftook the nature of the difeafe at
its commencement, as to pronounce it to be neither
atafignant or contagiou ; in confequence of which no
meafures were taken for a confiderable time, either
for preventing its fpreading in the garrifon, or com-
municating the difeafe to the neighbouring countries,
which, we are extremely lorry to find, has been
done by veffels from Gibraltar ; between fixty and
feventy of which failed from that port, with clean bills
of health, and upwards of one thoufand paffengers
on bOard, at the time when the peßilence was raging

in the place.
The HYDaA frigate which failed from thence on
the 23d of September, with about twenty fail for
Malta, were all furniThed with clean bills of health ;
and in confcquence on their arrival at Malta, were
admitted to land immediately, as no intelligence had
reached Malta of any difcafe exifting at Gibraltar.—
A frigate, howeVer, fhortly afterwards arrived dif-
patched by Lord Mums, to warn Sir ALEXANDER
BALL and General VILLETTR, of the real Rate of
Gibraltar, and to warn them againfl having any
communication with that place. The molt dreadful
alarm was immediately excited, as all the paffengers
had already landed with their baggage, and mingled
with the inhabitants and Garrifon, and we are furry
to Rate that shortly afterwards feveral of the troops
were feized with fevers of a very fulpicions and
alarming nature. The utmoft pains were immediately
taken to Rop the progrefs of any contagion, and as
they are ample provided with lazarettos at Malta.
we are in hopes the evil will be checked in its ori.
gin. In confcquence, however, no veffel is now ad.
twitted from the Ifland of Malta to any part of Italy
without performing a long, and rigorous quarantine.

Differcat letters from Malta fpeak in veryfrong
and pinta terms of the danger to which they have
been thus expofed, and of the ferious lofs and inconve-
nience which the whole Ifland is new labouring under
with regard to their trade and fupplies, from the
ri-
gorous quarantine every relict touching there is fub-

jell to, owing to die totraotaloary and almott tio-
parafieled circomftance of 4 whole fleet being fur-
trilled with clean bills of health from a port, where
a difeafe more contagious, and more deadly, than the
plague itfelf, was adually raging, as the deaths on the
ssd of September, the day previous to the convoy
failing, amounted to twenty. five daily, and fcveral
hundreds were then ill of the fever.
The diforder which has made fuch dreadful
ravages at Gibraltar is by no means, as has been
generally fttppofed, the yellow, bilious intermittent
fever of the Weil Indies, but a highly malignant,
pellilential fever, of the 701 g: kind, nearly refem-
Wing the plague, except its being unaccompanied
with buboes or carbuncles.

Our Readers will obferve by our Gibraltar letters
that a report had reached that Garrifon of
the death of the Palace of PIACI. We have not
the means of afcertaining the-truth of the rumour,
which appears rather doubtful. however, from our
not having yet received any amilar account by the
Lilhon mail.

Earl India Papers to the tyth of Augur} have
been received by the Glory, the arrival of which was
announced at the India Houte on Saturday. At that
period the war with Holkar flitl continued. The
Madras Gazette Extraordinary of Auguft 14. th con-
tains the official account of the reduition by affault
of the important fortrefs of Hinglais Ghur, by a
diviGon of the forces under Brigadier General MoN.
sow. This gallant atchievement was cffelled .ith
very little lots, no officer heing either killed or
wounded.

We leans from the Calcutta papers, that Admi,
ral Hsaysrucc was fuppofed to have quitted Batavia
in May laft, with four fail of the line and three fri-
gates, and that his definition was to the Straits of
Malacca. Some large (hips were feen fteering for the
direction of Prince of Wales's Maud, which is repre-
fented as fully 'capable of contending with either the
detached, or eves the combined Qrength of the Dutch
and French fquadrons in the Indian leas.
Some authentic intelligence refpeaing the move-
ments of Limns, had been received at one of the
Pre(dencies. An American brig arrived at Madras
at the beginning of Auguft, which had failed from
the Ifle of France on the sft of the preceding month.
The French Admiral, in his flag-fhip the Marengo,
accompanied by a angle frigate, failed from thence
on the sad June, but whether to cruise againft the
Englith trade, or to return to Europe, was not pub
licly afeertained. A frigate had alto failed from
the Ifle of France for the Mofambique Channel,
about the fame time. Her object was fuppofed to be
to pick up an Englith (hip, probably the Prince of
Irak:, which bad been feen there difmalled, and ap-
parently fo diftreffed as to hold forth reafonable
profpet of an eafy capture.

It is undetitood that the Loan will be for a from
not lefs than mooo,oool. It was Mr. PITT'S ori-
ginal intention to have railed Mr. ADDINISTOSI'S
War Taxes to 15,000,0001. and the Property Tax to
a 0,000,0001. thereby railing 25,000h0001. within
the year; and for this pulpore a new affeffment was
to be made of houfes and lands generally throughout
the kingdom. The unexpeaed hurry, however, with
which the Budget is to be opened, makes it impof
fable for him to wait for the returns neceffary to this
plat, and fo he recurs to the caller and more praai-
cable fyftem of a large Loan.

There are three digit and unconnected Hits now
making for the Loan.

This morning difpatches were received at the Ad-

Tiris morning difpatches were received at the Ad.
miralty from Lifbon, but we have not been able to
learn what intelligence they bring.
The Earl of Cunt s Lt. was married laf Saturday,
at two o'clock, to Lady HARRIET fecond
daughter of the 'Earl of WARWICK, at her father's
houfe, in Hill-ftieet, Berkeley-fquare. The cere-
mony was perforined by the Rev. koalas. DIALTILY,
in the prefence of the • Earl and Countefs of WAR-
WICK, and two or three friends. At four o'clock the
happy couple fet off in his Lordffiip's chariot and four
to pats the honey-moon, at his houfe near Guildford,
lately taken for a few months.
COYENT•GARDEN.-Matter BPTTY, on Saturday,
repeated his performance of Romeo, in which he was
more mellow than on the fir& reprefentation of the
charaaer on Thurfday : the Poit has, however, done
fo much more for the female than the male lover,
that it is impoffibie for the latter to appear to fuch
advantage as the former in the early part of the Play ;
but, in the third and fifth Adis, the young Adler is
every thing that can be expedied from talents of the
fiat order, labouring under the phyfical difadvantages
infeparable from his tender age.—The applaufe be-
Rowed upon his exertions was very liberal, by a molt
cronded and elegant audience.—The prelfure in the
pit was fo great before the Play began, that feveral
perfons were again obliged to be lifted into the boxes
in a fainting Rate. It is but juilice to Rate of Mrs.
H. SIMMONS'S Yale. that it atp relent hands without
