FLontna.—We have Leen favoured %title itSailit
Augustine paper of the 6:li instant. Tim only article
worth copying is the following, front which it appears
that Governor Worthington, of East Florida, has bete
obliged to resort to simiter measures for obtaining
possession of public documents, Ike. in that Pioricat.
as those pursued by General Jackson et Pens:to:lt.
General Worthington has issued his Proclamation, de.
daring the city of Saint Augus►ine to b., visited a
most fatal and malignant sickness. The Board of
Health reports that it is chiefly confined to the
Louring classes of white people who have recently
arrived from the north, and that the natives ate gene-

We have been visited by two of his Majesty's slo.ips
of War, the Carnation and Jasseux ; the latter is vet
on this station. They are iii the lialph for the purpoo,
of preventing the Americans front encroaching ou o;:r
fisheries. The American fishermen do not wish t
come within three miles of the shore, as their right b,
fish at that distance is unquesti,notile. Our fisheries
are diminishing fast, iiiol it' the treaty witinAlaiheinti-
cans lasts, a few years will pat ass end to it. "The
Americans must be kept out of the Culpli, or Canada
loses its cod fishery.

NEW YORK, OCT. e learnt hat Admiral Bibb,
Commander of the Venezuelean Navy,' died at Curets
on the 29tk. of September.

The intimations we have lately given of a changes;
Ministers now appear to be about to be commonicatmd
from other quarters. In one of our other colones
are two paragraphs we have copied from the pars of
this morning, relative to Mr. CANNING ; the more is his
arrival in town, from the Puke of Poterv.No's, the
other his long interview with the Earl of Liveneomea
yesterday morning, at Fife &louse. These anuotuee•
ments have obviously more meaning than immediately
strikes the eye. They proceed from Ministerial papers;
and in this way the public mind is prepared for the
arrangements forming. In the mean time no notice
is taken by these journals of the business in hand,
because in their estimation it would not be decent
to announce it before it be completed Their silence
is, however, a sufficient confirmation ofour statements:
for if ;hey were unfounded, they would be very sees
contradicted. We, notwithstanding., view the matter
as of no importance, except as a symptom of the eirfie
nets of the system, which Ministers !mew, or of the
incapacity of the present men to carry it on.. The 1b
terations contemplated are, to the country, so phone
for the better. Some new expedients maylie
and some fresh bustle may he made about them, bit
the old system will be supported, and the reek 614
to bend to that, instead of that being altered to acorn-
