Several perfons who had fled from the city have
already returned to it, fu entirely has the alarm
ftt'.6ded.
From the following report of the Board of Health
at Baitinnore, it appears that the City is afflifled
with a mall%tnant fever, hut that in no inflance, as
yet, has it been communicated to the attendants
or friends of the lick.
Health Office, Baltimore, July 22, 1802.
To relieve the public mind from any inorintiate apprehenfiun
relanve to rh.. esiitenee of a malignant fever in our city, and
to check the various and contradictory reports which are cir-
culated on the fulls crt, the Board of Health contrive it their
ir-firpnGhle duty, after having made all the enquiries in their
power, to detail the following ftaternents of facts:
1 hat on the ad day of July, John Kelly,Tharnes-ftrect,
Point. fickencd wish a fever marked with the charadteriftics of
a malignant fever, and died the 7th.
Jufs ph Hopkins, who lived in the eountirg-lioufe of Marrs.
Pollard end Cornthwait, Bowley's wharf, fickeued on the ad
of a fimilar fiver, and died the 7th.
Joann Cole, an apprentice to Thomas jewat, currier, in
Cumberland-row, lick, fled the 3d 'nd died the rah.
John Wilton, who lived at Fell's Point, near Wilfon's wharf,
after undergoing much fatigue for feccral days, fiekelied at
George Town the 14th, and died the loth, the fs.cond day after
his return to his brother's, in Eall-ftrect.
James Smith, carpenter, at Esn's Point, kkened the 13th,

Nicholas Willis, who lived in the counting-honk of Mr. Re-
fold, fickencd on the f nth, and is now well
In the invenigation of the eircumitances of the above cafes of
Ivey, the Board of Health have &fee mined to their entire fa-
tistadion, two points of material intereft to cur citizens:
aft That in no inftance has the difeafe been communicated
to the attendants or friends of the lick.
zit That th- different fituations of thole who 1 a-e fall(
doss to the ditafe, are loch that thei could net have derive
it from the fame neighbourhoOd.
The Board :re, therefore, willing to believe, that th,
Rance, of difezfi: which have unhappily appeared in our city,
are f. litany cafes of a malignant fever.frum which, of late years,
we have tint he-n wholly exempt cluriug the hot months.
Thsf: ohrervafions are rut made to lull our eizizens into a
feeurity that night prove fatal ; but to fugleft the neeeffity of
vigilance, without alarm, and of an attention to individual
cleanlincfs, which on police can fufficiently enforce; for, from
whatever fourec the yellow fever may be derived,it is now ad-
Witted that impure air is neceffary to its fatal propagation.

It appears by accounts which have reached town,
that a numerous hody ti Blacks had atiembled in
la Montagne Mai e, had deltroyed fome planta-
lions about Trou-Borclct, and had furprifed and
murdered a 101a11 French corps dationed there.
At RGuillone, Lager, and about Leogane, they
had, on the 11 th July, appeared in numbers; and
(mall bodies covered the country towards Goave,
Benet, and Jacquemel. They had likewifc, with
a view to difirad the attention of the French Ge-
neral, committed frefh exceffes in the neighbour-
hood of St. Male, and burnt fome plantations on
Les Trois Rivieres.

Thefe account: have, we nnderfland, been re-
ceived via America. The Neu, Tork Gazette of the
S6th ult. contains the follow ing article on the fubje&:
Captain Stc.ele, from Port Rcpublicain, informs us that the
Blacks, Liking advantage of the weaknefs of the French army,
which is much reduced by dialafe aid death, were again on the
rife, an had alieady begun to form encampments on the plains
of Lengane. This circumnance gave great' uncafinefs to the
planters, who had reafon to expedt another fcene of trouble and
mai:Caere. _ _ . .

The rifing of the Blacks was fuppufed to he in confcquencc of
the nig!dly Cratagems of the French troops, in taking and mar-
facri: g all the BI irks who had held commiflions under Touf-
faint, being deemed a neeeflary precaution by General Leclerc,
to deprive them of their commanders in the event of another
revolt.
The Ncw York Gazette of the 26th, contains
the following letter relpeeting Louillana :
" New Orleans, June 22.
" Vie arc all in anxious fufpenfe, ignorant of what 1.1 to be
our fate. There arrived here on the isith, two French Com-
mit:Boners, difpatchcd by the Captain of a French frigate, in
Havannah, to Vcra Cruz, in fearch of money for the wants of
St. Domingo. They came pafTengers in our money (hips, which
.Fier land!ng the money for the Colony, were to have proceed-
ed immediately to Vera Cruz, from the &life. The Captain,
however, has come up to town, and, no doubt, the veal will
loon follow. and we than have an opportunity, during her flay
here, to kart: fomathlng of the iateutieu of their Gust:run:At
towards this country.
t` You will be furprited to Icom, that the Spaniflt Court has
given no advic.• whatever on this inters:fling fubjed to its agents
here. They knew nothing at all refpeeling it, more than what
is contained in private letters, or what is gathered from the
Ato :rieat : prints. The p,ople lit office are in general cunfterna-
tion, confident u. the ret roc:AT:on lie hag agreed upon. All arc
propofing to Centre their property I..um the fraternal rapaciouf-
nets of their dear allies.

During the infurrelion of the in C nada-
loupe, mutt of the plantations in llaffeterre and
Cabello: re were deflroycd. They even pulled the
coffee and cotton trees out of the ground, and cut
them in pieces. Of the 4.-100 Vreach troops that
were landed in that ifland, more than half had died
previous to the 7th of June. The colony cannot
rscover he damage it has fuflained for fome years.
Rom and molalfes are its only prefent articles of
export.

Tl.e excellive mortality in tl•c ifland ofTli-
nid.td is i;ippi,!'ed to have he:o occationed by the
lit.ivy .t.:.1 incelfant rains which immediately pre-
ceded it.

The yellow fever has occafloned conriderable
sn,:rtality at the Canal's, in Grenada. Mew vet
fell 101 l the whole of their crews there.
