! The limits Of our paper do not permit US
TO give all the details we have obtained on
the subject OF the plague in the Empire OF
Morocco. We regret, however, to have to
inform our readers, that the evidence, both
from official and private sources, as to the
actual existence of this disease in the towns
of Tangiers, Tetuan and Fee, is too strong
not TO excite the most serious apprehen-
sions.
At Tansiers, the deaths Of all descr'p-
tons between the 18th to the 18th OF June,
from the best information that could be OBJ
p. tanned, amounted TO 80, and one day among
others, to g; but all these persons were not
supposed 10 have died Of the plague.
The malady has been observed to pass
through its different stages to death, inabout
4S hours. No well authenticated case of
recovery has yet been ascertained, though,
in one or two instances, the complaint SEEM
ed to have taken very favorable turn.
The number Of children attacked, bore
large proportion to the adults.
The small pox and measles are stated al
so to prevail in the town.
The Consuls and other Christian resi-
dents had shut themselves up in their hou
ses.
The Moors and Jews took no precautions,
nor were any observed on board tine ship
ping in the Bay.
The town is remarkably well supplied
with provisions. Its present population is
estimated at about 900 souls the mean
heat of the thermometer was during the
month of June, from 81 to %, with % days
easterly, and days westerly wind.
The information as to the state Of the
disease in Tetuan, is more uncertain; it is
asserted however, that from IS to go per-
sons die there daily.
At Fez, disease, of character similar
to the above, is stated 10 have appeared,
and was supposed TO have been brought by
some of the Carriers OF the Caravan from
Algiers, three Of whom are stated to have
died. =
