SPAIN.-YELLOW FEVER.

BARCELONA, SEPTEMBER 19.
SUPREME JUNTA OF HEALTH OF CATALONIA.
The yellow fever, which at the beginning of last
August appeared in some vessels anchored in the
port of Barcelona, afterwards spewed itself in the
Barcelonetta, in spite of the vigilance and exertions
made by the Supreme Junta, in conjunction with the
Magistrates, to arrest it, and as it has been ex-
tinguished in the port by the care and attention em-
ployed, its desolating germ has manifested itself in
some parts of the capital, which, though it has noto
caused the ravages that might have been expected,
has not failed to claim the whole attention of the Junta.
The Junta being charged with the preservation of
the health of all the towns of the. Province, and
obliged to take measures to preserve it in all unim-
paired, has been under the necessity of quitting the
City with the superior Authorities, as is presented in
the Royal Ordinances of 17th August, 1813, and
15th August, 1817, fixing its residence in a place
where it may continue its exertions for the purpose
of preventing the progress of the evil in those unfor-
tunate towns, and to preserve others from so dread-
ful a scourge. Without, therefore, losing sight of
the relief of the worthy Citizens of Barcelona and
Barcelonetta, and reconciling their interest with
that of the other towns of the Province and of the
whole Peninsula, the Junta cannot but be sensible
that an opportune separation is the most powerful
barrier that can be opposed to a contagious disease.
—The Junta, therefore, acting on this principle, and
carrying into execution the orders which it has re-
ceived from the Supreme Junta of the Kingdom, has
decreed to place Barcelona in a state of incornmuni-
cation, and to establish a cordon, in fulfilment of the
sacred duty which its character imposes, and it has
in consequence resolved on the following Articles, to
be observed by all classes of persons.—(Then follow
the Regulations in 15 Articles.)
On the 17th, a Proclamation was published against
the bands of ill-disposed persons who assembled in
the streets and violated the safety of the inhabitants.

VALENCIA, SEPTEMBER 19.
A Proclamation was issued yesterday, stating that
a contagious fever had manifested itself in the island
of Majorca, against the spreading of which the usual
precaution had been adopted, but that it was confined
to persons who were in constant attendance on the
sick ; that it was not more contagious than an ordi-
nary putrid fever, and had not a great analogy with
the yellow fever.
The Junta announces, with regret, that the malady
has been introduced by the ruinous practice of smug-
gling. The Junta, painting in strong colours the
dreadful situation of the places afflicted with such a
scourge, calls on the citizens of Valencia to subscribe
for the relief of the inhabitants of Majorca and Tortosa.

MALAGA, SEPTEMBER Is.

The inhabitants of this city enjoy the best state of

" The Gold Plate, which was ordered to be made in
lieu of those articles which were carried off by some
enthusiastic hands from the Coronation Banquet, was
on Saturday deposited in the Jewel House, at the
Tower, which now once more boasts the whole Re-
alia complete."—Morning Paper.—(The " articles
carried off by enthusiastic hands" must have become
heir-looms of the Fudge Family. We are well con-
vinced (for we had a hand in the spoliation) that
there was not one piece of gold plate to carry off : the
whole of the articles were merely of gilt timber. ED.]
