ing at Pitcairn's Island, with the articles which have been

Letters from the Isle of France, dated Bth Februaey
last, state, that the fever which had lately raged them
with such Jiok.r.cr, had considerably diminished iu lis
effect. The injury.done to the commerce of the place,
and the consequent loss, have, however, been very
serious. Upwards of 5000 Black Slaves bare rerished,
and, ccnsidering the population of the island to be
not above 80,000, this proportion is very peat ; be•
sides which, about 150 of Pie white inhabitants base
fallen victims to the dreadful pestilencr. When these
letters left the island, commerce had resumed its acti-
vity, and there appeared every probability of the fever
being entirely subdued.
