GIBRALTAR.

By the Lifbon Mail we have received‘tbefoliqined
letter from Gibraltar, by which we learn thilt the
number of deaths has much abated—not however is
eonfequence of the difeafe having terned milder but
becanfe the furvivors have malty gone through the
difeafe, which never attacks the fame perfun a fecond
time. It is now very generally believed by the fa-
culty to be the yellow fever of the Well Indies:
"GIBRALTAR, NOVEMBER S.

'4 The fever has now gone completely through the
town, there not being one Engle houfe whofe inhabi-
tants have cfcapcd the contagion ; and the deaths in
fever have now &created in confequence, to about
four or five daily. At the South part of the Roa,it
Rill continues to rage amongfl the troops, and it is
the general opinion of the faculty, that the difeafe
will not be extirpated till every perfon has been at-
tacked with it.

" It k now dearly afcertained to be the malignant
pelblential fever, fuch as has prevailed in the Well-
Indies fine 1793 ; and, it is a remarkable fat, that
the only perfons who efcape the contagion, are loch
as have bad that fever in the Ve(t Indies, or the fe-
ver at Philadelphia or Malaga.
" It does wk appear that any inflance has occurred
of any perfon here having received the infeßien a
fecond time. More than one-third of the inhabitants
have bten ca7ried off by it, and all newly arrived
people are infallibly attacked with it, and it gene.
rally proves feel to tb:m. Several families who had
efcaped the difeare at the Louth, where they were en-
camped, have been univerfally attacked on their
moving into own.
" The principal d-aths, within there few days, are
" Major ASDItEK:S, a Barrack-MA.ler General, and
-his wife.

" Mr. DIST, of the Naval Hofpital.
ii Doflot, and Mis. Ginott.
" Dodtor G•LaaaITH, loth Regiment.
" Mrs. PowaALL, wife of the Naval Storekeeper.
4. Lieutenant WIISEMBACN, of De Rolle's Rep.
" Mr. Gcris a. D.tnilh Confol.
" Mr. Gazzo, Imperial Cnnfitl."

Captain Cos.vii.t., and all his Officers, arrived on
Tuefday at Yarmouth. Thcy were difcharged upon
their parole by the Dutch Admiral Ktctrsar, who
behaved to them in the molt attentive and humane
manner.
The Marquis of Wacisscar has lately fent over•
from Bengal twelve fitperb ivory chairs, elegantly
ornamented with gold, as a prefent to her Majesty ;
and yelterday they were removed from the Eall India
Warthnufe, iu Billitertlane, to die Queen's finale.
The following is a entreit flatement of an affair of
honour which took place at day break on Monday
morning •between Captain Ws—en—wo—e, of the
Cambridgellsire Militia, and Captain J--ts s r —a, late
of the Guatds, but now of the sill Regiment : In
cnnfequence of a difference betweeu the above Gen-
tlemen, which originated in Scotland, it was agreed
between them to decide the bufinefs on Monday mor-
ning at Dencafler, whither both parties, attended by
their refpcltive friends, repaired on Sunday. Owing,
lacwerer. to fume cii cumillances, it was deemed pm-
dtr.t to withdraw to Ba:tiby Mcor, where, at•ter two
cafes of pills, had been difcharged, without effeel,
the affair was adjulled by the interference of the le-
en:ids, and fuch an arrangement contented to by
Captain J. as mct the ideas of Captain W. and his
friend. 'fbe feconds on the above oceafirn were H.
G. Efq of the Cambridge Militia, to the former Gut-
ticmau, and Mr. J.. f the sth Dragoon Guards, to
the latter. _ _
