" NEW TOIM OCTOBER 9.
" We have ji;:t announced the arrival of 3000
troops at the Ilavannah. They paraded in great
pomp for about seven Iwurs in the heat of the sun ;
and we are told that 4.00 of them were, on the even-

ing of ►hat lay, sent to the hospital, to die Of the yel-
low feVer. It was thought that a majority of the
persons composing this expedition would cease to be,
in less than a month.
" Oa the 11th of August, arrived at Margaretta,
part of General D'Evereux's command, consisting of
about L,OOO men. There are several men of war on
their way out from England to join the squadron—a

BOARD OF HEALTH.

hoard this 44y. (Signed) • J. IdLaar.v, Secretary.'
" The b:lions malignant fever rages in many places
en Long Island. There have been several deaths at
Newtown, in New Jersey, and the upper part of this
state. The same lever has carried off several valu-
able citizens."

~ WASIIINGTON, OCTOBER 8.

" IMPORTANT TREATY OF LINIITS.—It appears
probable that the fort which our Government had
begun to elect on Lake Champlain falls within the
British lines. This is to be regretted ; but it it fairly
belongs to them by the Treaty, let them have it. If
we lose Rouse's Point, it is said we shall receive a
compensation in the district of the Main. Our North-
eastern boundary, it is said, will be many miles far-
ther north : it will extend as far as to cut off the com-
munication between the Provinces, and will embrace
within our limits a considerable French Settlement,
which has formerly been under the jurisdiction of

Canada.
YELLOW FEVER AT NATCIIEZ.—A letter from a
respectable physician at Natchez states, that the yel-
low fever had broken out there. It first appeared
on the .sth September ; on the Sth, five deaths were
announced ; and such was the panic during the heavy
rains, that five-sixths of the inhabitants had fled to
the country. It was thought that in two days not
more than 100 persons would be left in the town.—
No new cases bad occurred on the Bth. .
FRoM BUENOs Avers, AUGuST 5.-4, The news'
this day from Monte Video, on creditable authority,
is, that Don Vcdal and I)on Firo, natives of Monte
Video, and Members of the Cabildo, are appointed
Deputies to wait op the King of Portugal, to exact
of him his promise that the Portuguese should eva-
cuate the eastern side of the river three months pre-
vious to the arrival of the Spanish expedition. This
is done with the sanction of General Le Cour ; and
Don Nicholas Herera, his first Counsellor, has no
doubt the King will comply with this proposal."
EXTRACT c 1 A LETTER (RECEIVED BY THE AMITY,
DATED NEW YORK, OCTOBER 9, 1819, To A RE-
sy:CTARLE mERCHANT IN THE CITY:
'I Before I left Boston, the fever had entirely sub-
sided there; and the accounts from New York were
so favourable, that I expected to find it the same
here ; but two or thee new cases had been report-
ed two or three days in succession, and I find my-
self here rather before the danger was entirelyover.
—The weather is still unfavourable, but as no new
cases have_ been 'Trotted to the Board of ,Health
ycs..erday or today, I have only to keep out orthe
infected part of the town for a week or two to be
quite safe; indeed I think we have been mote fright-
ened than hurt. The whole number of deaths does
rot exceed 20 of malignant fever: a small number
is a town containing 00,000 inhabitants."

Letters.of the 15th August hart been received by
the Mariner, arrived at Liverpool, from Dunes-
yres. The reports received there of the grand ex-
pedition from Cadiz, which related only to its state
of equipment in the month of May, greatly ezagge.
rated its efficient strength. Lists had been transmit-
ted to Buenos-Ayr's of all the regiments and corps
compor.ing it, repaiented to amount to a force ex.
ceeding 26,000, afid convoyed by no less then 60

vessels cf war! Wl•ethi.i tie Governsre^t gave any
credit to this statement, does not appear ; General
SAN-MARTIN was, however, expected to arrive at
Buenos-Ayres on the following day, and BELGRA NO
was undei stood to be near at hand. The forces which
could be brought into the field, to oppose the in-
v.iders, according to the Official Returns, exceeded
27,000 men, of whom 13,000 were cavalry. A legion
of 3000 light troops, in addition, was to be raised by
General PUYERBIDON, the Ex-Director. A plan of
d'efence had been organized, which deserves to be
mentioned, as an evidence of the patriotic zeal and
intelligence that prevails, though its interest is mate-
rially lessened by our knowledge, that the force it
was intended to cope with is already dispersed, if not
annihilated,. by the visitation of HEAVEN. All the
men past bearing arms, together with the women and
children, were to be sent into the interior. The im-
mediate defence of Buenos-Ayres was to be intrusted
to a select corps of 8000 men, who were to be in-
structed, if overpowered, to fall back on another di-
vision of 11,000 men, while the remaining force was
to he occupied in laying waste the country, and cut-
ting off the resources of the enemy. The main stand
was intended to be made on the banks of the Ria-
chuelo, and the road leading to San Ysidro. The co-
operation of the Poi tuguese, by the general tenour of
the letters, appears to be perfectly relied on, and to
them would be intrusted the defence of the left
bank of the Ricer Plate. very endeavour was
making toinduce A RTIQAS to join the common cause.
These letters are wholly sent on the affairs of Chili
the advices from' that quarterbeing on board another
vessel, which has not yet arrived.

The removal of Sir HUDSON Lowy from the Go-
vernorship of St. Helena, so often rumoured and as
often contradicted, is now, we are assured, defini-
tively arranged, in consequence, not of any dissatis-
faction which Ministers entertain at his conduct, but
of Sir HUDSON'S own desire to return home. The
gallant Sir W. V. Bnoicz is named as his successor.'

Tl.e Shipping Interest of the City was thrown into
much confusion yesterday, by an unexpected notice
from the Navy Board, that twenty vessels, of 500
tons each, were wanted this day, by one o'clock.—
The tenders were not to be received after that hour.
It is reported, that several brokers in the secret were
prepared for the event; the great proportion, how-
ever, were left in the lurch, as the time was too short
to procure vessels.

Yesterday, at two o'clock, his Royal Highness the
PRINCE RE3ENT, accompanied by Sir BENJAMIN
IlLoomtmu, left town for Brighton.

and Honourable POWER LE POER TRENCH, D.D.

The 111011 SHERIFF for Berkshire having declined
compliance with the Requisition for calling a County
Meeting, on the subject of the Manchester transac-
tion, the Requisitionists, upwards of two hundred in
number, among whom are Sir FRANCIS BURDETT,
Mr. HALLE?, Mr. FULWAR CRAVEN, Dr. MITFORD,
&c. have themselves convened a Meeting, to be held
at Reading, on Monday next. It k understood, that
both Lord FOLKSTONE and Mr. C. F. PALMER will
be present, though their names are not to the Requi-
sition ; and that to the event of a trial of strength
(which is actually threatened by the Loyal Declara-
tionists of the County) the strenuous support of these
Gentlemen may be confidently relied on, to the mea-
sure of demanding an inquiry into transactions which
are to all appearance a disgrace to the national cha-
racter.

Saturday, the 23d ult. the Prize of St. Andrew's
Cross, given by Sir GIGROE MACKENZIE, Bart. was

pany, was shot for, and gained by Join; WATSON,
Esq. Portrait Painter, by three consecutive ends.

Oak Common, between Messrs. D—L and

constables. The ground was measured, when they
were apprised of some officers being in waiting, and
they retired. The dispute originated at a coffee-
house in Bond-street.

A few days ago, a stag, closely pursued by the
hounds, made his way into lirentford ; and, after
rnakii,g three or four circuits round the market-
place, to the great confusion and alarm of the inha-
bitants, suddenly entered the passage of a house ad-
joining the river Brent, which he waded, making off
over the country towards Heasden.
