The Paris Papers of Thursd.iy and Friday arrived
last night ; those of Saturday are in arrear. Among
the extracts which we subjoin will be found some
very distressing detail, of the progress of the fever in
Spain. It has already spread to several large towns..
An offer, perhaps unexampled for its generosity and
heroism, has been made by upwards of one hundred
French Physicians to repair into the midst of the
pestilence, and assist, by their scientific labours, in
putting a stop to its ravages.'

PARIS, SEPTEMBER 26.
!MOH THE HOEITEVR.
" Early in August the yellow fever broke out
amongst the inhabitants of Barcelonetta, one of the
suburbs of Bat celona. It appears that the distemper
had been imported by a Spanish brig direct from
the Havannah. Three carpenters who worked on
beard, and four seamen who belouge Ito other ships,
who communicated with the brig, soon became vic-,
tims. Till about the end of August the disease was
confined to Barcelonetta; and, on the 29th of that
month, the Superior Council of Health at Catalonia
bad declined that the disease was not contagious.—
But, notwithstanding this assurance, the disease spa sad
early in September, from Barcelonetta to the city of
Barcelona itself; so that, upon the evening of the llth
September, the Chief Authorities and the garrison
had quitted the place. A precautionary cordon was
formed at about a league from that city, and those
of the inhabitants not having then departed were
prohibited from leaving it. But it appears that, after
the departure of the Magistrates and the garrison,
the malady had extended its ravages.
"It is equally clear that the yellow fever had ex-
tended ta 'fortosa and other parts. The cities of
Arragon had taken the strictest precautions to repel
its approach in progressing to within their walls.
" A Danish .essel, from Barcelona, had conveyed
.the distemper to Malaga, and several of the shipping
were infected by it; but, owing to the wise precau-
tions of the Authorities, the contagion had not, on
the.,sth September last, got into the city.
Another ship, belonging to the same country,
• which arrived in the road of Pomegne, near Mar-
seilles, on the 7th of September last, lost a seaman
on the evening of the 14th, after three days illness,
who expired with all the symptoms of the yellow
fever. Some days after the disease broke out in two
vessels which were alongside the Danish vessel then
put under quarantine. By the 19th September, six
men belonging to these vessels had fallen victims to
the fever, and seven more were infected with it.—
Under these cirs.umstances, the Board of Health at
Marseilles felt it indispensable to placethe infected
vessels at a considerable distance from those already
in quarantine.
4. By intelligence of .the 22d, officially communi-
cated, we are apprised that another of the sick, a
Lieutenant, had also died ; but that the others were
much better, while the greater part were conva-
lescent, and that no accident had befallen the re-
mainder of the vessels in quarantine.
Our experience of the progress of the yellow fever
has assured us that in Europe it abates at the first
approaches of cold weather, and ends entirely at its
setting in ; while the precautions which have been
taken would alone be sufficient to remove all ap-
prehensions. We have to lament, no doubt, that ail
country bordering on France should continue to suf-
fer from the ravages of this scourge; but we have to'
rejoice, at the same time, that the seeds of this dis-'
temper have not been able to penetrate the soil of
France."
A letter of the 15th alt. from Barcelona, says,
that the malady continued to increase, and that Bar-
celtifietta had been entirely deserted by all but the
sick, of whom from 20 to 30 died daily.
