NATcHEz, (MIssIssrPI,) Aug. 2i.--It is
but two weeks since we took occasion
to notice the general health enjoyed by
the citizensof this place, which, at this
time, we believe, was undoubted. The
; change since then, however, has been
q melancholy one iGdeed, and at this time
it cannot be concealed that Natchez is
sorely afflicted with disease. Whate-
yer the sickness May be, whether bili-
Gus, malignant, or yellow fever, it is
such as very Justly to create alarm; and
those of our citizens, accordingly, who
can leave town, are very generally re-
firing to the country. AS il regards the
Distinguishing character Of the sickness,
the physicians appear dividedin opinion:
In the report q yesterday, a majority in
clined to the belief that it was not as yet
epidemical, ten or twelve persons, how
ever, have died since the report, and a.
mong the number of eases, several we
understand were highly malignant. the
fever running its course in two or three
days.
Since the above was in type, the
Board of Health has had another meet
ing, and passed the following resolution:
"Resotoed, That, in the opinion of the
Board, the inhabitants of Natchez be,
and are hereby, advised to remove from
the city during the continuance of the
fever therein"
