YELLOW FEVER.

REPORT OF TAR INTENDANTS OF TAR PUBLIC !MALTA'
AT MARSEILLES, TO HIS BRITANNIC MAJBSTIeS,
CONSUL IN TAAT PORT.

RfARiTILLIS, OCTODZIt 8, 1823.
Sta—The infonnation which our Board has rendered publics
up to the present time, has aU concurred to dispel alarm as to.
the results of the cases of Yellow Fever whir* have appeared
at the Port of Pumegue.•
• The new occurrences, of which it is now our duty to apprise
you, will further prove, that if, under existing circumstances,
the public health has been exposed to some risk, the very severe
precasting, and she mierprompt and asergerie measures whichl have been adopted, have removed every reason for apprehension,
at the very instant when such apprehension might have been
entertained.

The man named lArnproye, who, on coming out of quaran-
I tine, was attacked with a fever, of which the symptoms were
such u, at the present period, to cause some suspicion, was re-
moved into the Lazaret on the 24th September, as well as all
those persons who had immediately communicated with him.—
Our Circular of the 24th September has already cometuniiated
to you this occurrence. %e have now to acquaint yen that
this man is recovered, and that he would have already returned
to his home, had be been more obedient to the orders of the
Physicians, and not prolonged, by certain imprudences, the
period of his convalescence. His wife, who was with him in
the Lazaret, his quarantine guardian, and, in short, the whole
of the persons who were put in quarantine in consequence ot
this accident, and who were thirty-Az in number, have all re-
mained in perfect health; and, consequently, everything tends
to convince us, that the disease of I.amproye was only one of an
ordinary nature, and that the precautions which it occasioned,
although justified by the rules of prudence, have had no other
purpose to answer, but that of satisfying and entirely tranquil-
lizing the public mind.

From tile infected vessels at Pomegne there have been sent to
the Lazaret, since the 24th, siz sick; whereof four are dead,
and two perfectly recovered.
Since the 4th, no sick have been sent to the Lazaret from Po-
megue ; and, according to the daily reports made to us, the
crews which remain there, as well as at Endoume and uld,
are in the most satisfactory state.
It is to be observed, that the persons placed to attend the
sick in the Lazaret, and who have been In continual and Ins-
mediate communication with them, have constantly enjoyed
perfect health.
The Danish galliot, Amphitrite, Benjamin Fold muter,
which sailed from Malaga in the night of the 19th to the 20th
September, in ballast, with a crew of six men, including the
Captain, was driven on shore near Sion, in the night of the 6th
to the 7th October. Two of the crew bad died of the Yellow
Fever during the passage, and the corpse of one of them was
still on board the vessel at the time of her striking. Of the four
remaining, two were ill, and the working of the ship was left
to the Captain alone, with one boy. In this wretched state the
vessel could not resist the violence of a gust of wind from the
North West, and was driven on shore.

The Officers of the Customs instantly surrounded her, and
rendered all communication with her impossible. The vessel
was, moreover, separated from the land by an arm of the sea,
which prevented approach. Two Commissioners from our
Board repaired to the spot, and, on seeing the impossibility of
raising and repairing the vessel without the aid of numerous
hands, which iu the existing circumstances could not be allowed,
orders were given to burn her : a decision, of which the Captain
himself admitted the necessity, and which was executed in the
presence of the Charge d'Affaires of the Danish Consul. The
corpse was conveyed to the Lazaret, to be interred with the usual
precautions. The two sick, and the two in health, were like-
wise removed thither. One of the former may be considered as
entirely recovered ; and the case of the other exhibits no danger.
Such is the actual state of our Health Establishments. There
is in them at present only one convalescent, and no sick.
With regard to the town : the public health in it has never
ceased to be in the most satisfactory state : and we venture to
Ratter ourselves that the assurance we give you of this fact will
entirely dispel any new rumours of alarm which may possibly
have reached your ears.
We have the honour to salute you with perfect consideration.

• Pomegue is an uninhabited island, distant about half a mile
from the entrance of the harbour, where vessels arriving from
suspected places, or with foul bills of health, lie out their qua-
rantine. The crews remain on board, or land occasionally un-
der the supervision of the Health Officers; and on any cave of
illness occurring there, the patient is immediately removed to
the Lazaret.

LIMERICK, Ocr.l7.—Tuesday, a party of men at-
tacked the house of P. HALLORAN, Of Fort, in our
Liberties, and near the Artillery Barrack ; shots
were fired at the door, upon which HALLORAN rushed
out, and in company with a neighbour of the name
of CoNsiELL, pursued and came up with two of the
party, who instantly fired at HALLORAN; a contest
then took place, and the villains having been joined
by their confederates, obliged HALLORAN and CON.
NELL to retire; they, however, gave the fellows some
hard blows with stones before they retreated. HAL-
LORAN and CONNELL are both much wounded.

Friday evening, at half-past six o'clock, the house
of FRANCIS DREW, Esq. of Drewscourt, was attacked
by a band of armed ruffians; they commenced with
breaking the lower windows of the house, and making
a demand for the delivery of the fire arms. Mr.
DREW finding them determined to murder, as well
as to rob, and being quite unprepared for resistance,
ordered his fowling-piece to be delivered to them, on
receiving which they departed ; but shortly after le-
turned, and demanded a musket, the property of a
tenant of his, which was sent to his house for safety a
few days before: this also was delivered to them.

Monday evening, a man named Barrett, returning
from Adare to his house near Ballynolan, was at-
tackei by a party of ruffians, who beat him so si.
verely with sticks and stones that his life is despaired
of. They charged him with being a spy, which they
said was enough to ensure his destruction.

Saturday night, a party of fellows entered the
house of Major Tomictus, at Prospect Hall, where
they got some fire-ar mc.
The Police under the command of Major STEWA ET,
on Tuesday, succeeded in arresting four men, in whose
possession powder and ball were found; they are
lodged in Rathkeale bridcwell.
Tuesday, the RECORDER left Litierick under an
escort of six dragoons, for Rathkeale, to open the
Sessions in that town next day.

We stated in our Paper of yesterday that a severe
action had taken place between the Patriot General SAN i
MARTIN and the Royalists, in which the latter had I
been defeated ; and that an Armistice had been con-
elided in consequence. The terms of that Armistice,
which was signed on the 24th of May, was for a
period of twenty days, during which the respective
armies were to keep the positions they then occupied.
The Armistice will be found in another column,
as well as some interesting details on the subject of
the blockade enforced by Lord COCHRANE, and dis-
puted, so far as relates to British vessels, by Sir Tao-
SIAS HARDY.
The intelligence from the seat of war in Turkey,
though perhaps entitled to a qualified degree of cre-
dit, concurs in representing the cause of the Greeks
as assuming a more favourable aspect than it has
worn for some months.
Letters from Odessa of the 25th ult. represent every
thing as very tranquil. One of the letters, however,
mentions a fact which would seem to set at rest, at
least for this year, the question of hostilities. The
Commander-in-Chief of the Russian army of the South
(Count WITTGENBTSIN) had set out from that place
for the Crimea, on an excursion of pleasure, or to a..
range some Ovate affairs ; and the writer, who, we
understand, is in great habits of intimacy with the
Count, says that he would be absent about a month.
Mails from Lisbon and Flanders came to hand this
morning ; the only articles of interest which they con-
tain are annexed :

LISBON, OCTOBER L
THE CORTE&
In the Sitting of the 29th September, the order of
the day was the Decree respectin4 the duties to be
imposed on the importation of brandy, which gave
rise to a long and warm debate. The Deputies from
the Island of Madeira declared, that it was necessary
that Portuguese brandy should be allowed to be im-
ported into their Island, without duty, and the duty
on foreign brandy diminished, that proposed being
too heavy, because brandy is necessary to miz with
the wine intended for the London and American
markets.
Some Deputies, on the other hand, affirm that for-
merly brandy was not imported into the island of
Madeira to mix with the wines, which were then of
excellent quality, and celebrated all over the world ;
that it was only in the time of a certain Governor
thaeit had been allowed, but that it was an abuse,
and contrary to express laws. The debate on this
subject was adjourned.
In the same Sitting the measures taken by the Go-
vernment to repress the banditti who openly brave
the laws in various pasts of the kingdom, were com-
municated to the Assembly. A very long Circular
• of the Government has been published, inviting the
Provincial Authorities to use the utmost vigilance to
examine the passports of all persons with the greatest
care ; to impress on the people the necessity of asso-
ciating and going in bodies in quest of the robbers ;
to apprehend them, and to deliver them to the nearest
Magistrate, with the booty they have made, and
with all the proofs that can be collected of their
crimes. The Magistrates are to make the people
comprehend that, by thus acting for their own de-
fence and security, they will imitate the most polished
nations in Europe, who consider it as one of their
first duties not to permit such criminals to harbour
among them, but to denounce them to the Magis-
trates, and assist the latter, when necessary, that :he
criminals may suffer the penalties of the law.
In the Sitting of the 2d October, M. Fernandez
Thomas made two proposals, which were approved :
a. That the nation being very ill served by foreigners acting
as Consuls, they should be removed, and Portuguese appointed
in their stead.
2. That it being indubitable that there were Portuguese so
degenerate that they sought by discourse and conversation, both
public and private, to disturb the new order of things, and to
sow distrust among the people, be proposed that the Committee
should draw up and lay before the Cortes a project of criminal
law, to punish, es traitors to the nation, (keeping in view the or-
dinance of the kingdom on this subject) all those who shall IA
this manner disturb public order and tranquillity.
The Decrees respecting the organization of the
provinces of Brazil are now published officially, as
well as that on the constitution and powers of the
Connell of State.
In the Sitting of the Cortes on the Sd, M. Mown
Taysaes brought forward two motions, which were
reserved for a second reading.
Ist. On the large giants of land made in Brazil,
which were an injury to the poor, and he wished to
have the grants restricted to what is sufficient for a
inan and his family, &c.
The 2d was in favour of the unhappy aborigines
dr Brazil, who ought to be treated with mildness,
and preserved in the inviolable possession of all the
land which they now have, as the conduct of WI/
