Lettcrfl'0nt the Portuguese Hice Consul at

ary IL.
"Thc plague, which I informed vou
was introduced in Maca.sa, has recentlv
spread TO the Coast of Dalmatia. and frono
thence has passed over to the opposite
Coast OF the Kingdom of Naples. The
principal Health Officer has informed me
that on the first days of this month a con-
tag'ous disorder made is appearance in
the little city Of Noja, with all the symD-
toms OF the plague. In 4 days, in a popu-
lauon OF 1000, 25 persons died. Ii has
since spread to Lecce ard Francavilla.--
The Noapolltan Government is taking
the most energetic measures to prevent it's
further propagation, and to cause il to
disappear.
In Cuna. IN the neighborhood of Ram
"a, IN Spslatrn, and in divers places Of
Austrian Croati, on the borders of the OF.
toman states, the plague has been intro
duced as we'll as in Corfu in which
Iast place It was introduced in consequence
OF vessel from Egypt being wrecked on
the Island. Some Of the islanders saveG
parts Of the cargo without the knowledge
OF the Government, and of course without
iunigation or any caution. Among these
the plague appe.red.
The Government here is taking eeica-
clous measures to prevent the introduction
OF this scourge. IT even subjects to a ri
gorous Quarantine, produce aud merchan-
die from the neigbboring coast Of Istria.-
by the blessing of Providence, this city ne
yer enjoyed better health"
