of resident White merchants, many of them Americans,
and that no animosity exists between the well informed
part of the inhabitants towards the Whites. Trade is
highly flourishing in that section of the island. Pre-
sident Boyer has adopted i wise course of policy in
recently disbanding a part of the Black troops, and
distributing them on fertile grounds for the purpose of
cultivation. Boyer was very popular, and was labour-
ing to ameliorate the condition of his people.

YaLLow-Fevaa.—The Yellow-fever has made its ap-
. pearance at the Narrows, N. Y. one death occurred on
the 19th and another on the 20th ult. The physicians
of the place have now five cases under their care;
but most of the sick, are in a state of convalescence.

By the following article, it appears that in conse-
quence of the arrival of a vessel from Malaga, the Go-
vernment has thought proper to adopt precautionary
measures, by placing her under quarantine at Milford:
MtLvoau, OCT. 9.—Last evening ' arrini4l4- at the
quarantine station, in this port, the schooner Harriet,
of London, Captain Henry Taylor, in twenty-six days
from Malaga, with a cargo of fruit, for Liverpool. Cap-
tain Taylor reports that, previous to his leaving
Malaga, a Hamburgh vessel arrived there from Leghorn,
that two men died on the passage on board of her t she
was suspected, and sent off. On the passage of the Har-
riet from Malaga here, one of Captain Taylor's men
died on the 17th, and another the 25th of September;
he thinks from fatigue.
By letters from St. Petersburgh to the 19th, the Em-
peror was still in that city, but expected to leave it this
month. Couriers were continually dispatched towards
different parts of the Continent, particularly to Constan-
tinople, but a strict silence is maintained as to the object
of their mission. The exchange had improved to 91.
ST. PETERSBCRGII, SEPT. 19.—His Majesty the Em-
peror will leave this city on the 22d, when the regiment
of the Guards now in cantonments here are to perform
the autumnal manoeuvres. From the immense importa-
tions of foreign articles, and the proportionately small
demand, some bankruptcies have taken place, but they
are not considerable. The harvest has not turned out
well, in several parts of the empire, on account of the
rain.

.t is stated from Warsaw, that large supplies of am-
munition for the Russian troops stationed in the Sou-
thern Provinces of Russia, and on the frontiers of
Turkey, continue to pass through Witepsk, and Smn.
lensko. A great number of horses have been • put in
requisition, to convey these supplies to their destination.
The number of old French, Piedmontese, and Nea-
politan officers who have arrived in Greece, to combat
for the independence of that fine country, is very con-
siderable—three French Generals of great talents, silt
Colonels, and many distinguished officers of the artil-
lery and engineers are mentioned. The Greek Chiefs
it seems, wish to organise a foreign legion, which► it is
said, will becuannanded by General Lefebre bainoi-
ettes.

The following' is an extract of a private letter from
Odessa, dated Sept. 14 :
There have been no arrivals of English ships for
some time past. An Austrian vessel has come in from
Constantinople. The only intelligence of any interest
from that quarter is, that nearly 100 sail of merchantmen
have passed down the Mediterranean with corn. The
capital remained perfectly tranquil. We are now assured
Odessa will remain a free port. Baron Strogonoff has
departed fur St. Petersburg)). Every thing around us
denotes the continuance of peace with Turkey.
A Private Letter from St. John's, New Brunswick,
dated Sept. 11, says—
Our weather has lately undergone a considerable
change ;it has quite an autumnal temperature. During
the night of Sunday last, we had some very vivid flashes
of lightning, accompanied with thunder and rain ; and
yesterday it blew a gale from the N.N.E. with occa-
sional showers. Several vessels have arrived from the
►Vest Indies during last week, which were required to
perform quarantine. Owing to the coldness of the wea-
ther which has now set in, we have not the same appre.
hensions which we would otherwise have entertained
for :he introduction of disease into our port. Seldom
have we had so much sickness amongst us as of late, and
the frequent tolling of bells, intimates the numbers who
have been carried off the stage of life.
The Bank of England, it seems to be confirmed. have
decided on calling in the 5/ Notes, as they have al-
ready withdrawn those of 1/. and V.—thus leaving
none of a lower denomination than M. in circulation.
it is said that at present no bills to any extent are
discounted at the Bank of England, as thi'monied men
in the City and Bankers have been in the habit of dis-
counting, for a year past, at 3i and 4 per cent.

The alterations and improvements in St. James's
Palace will be on a much larger scale than was origle
sally contemplated. They will embrace the suite et'
apartments occupied by the Duke of Cumberland. A
grand portico will be opened into St. James's Park,
directly in front of St. James's-street.
The ruins of a Roman Theatre have been laid open
lately at Mendeure, in the department of Daubs, in
France, and the antiquaries are busied in ascertaining
its dimensions, and conjecturing what town it Wispy"
to, as the cornices and ornaments found near it prove it
was not a temporary erection for the entertainment of
the Roman soldiery.
A cabinet has been opened at the Stadij at Naples,
containing a collection of various 'specimens of glass
found amongst the ruins of Pompeii and Herculaneum.
This valuable assemblage exhibits the greatest variety
both in forms and colours, and proves, in the most
satisfactory manner, that the ancients were as tell
acquainted as ourselves with the manufactory of this'
material.
