The New Orleans Courier Of the els, Sept.
Says" During the las. 10 days the cases epidem.
ic have much diminished. The weather though
not aaueriug TO the Planters, appears TO be
more favorable to the prevalent sickness
And what is more favorable still, there is, with
the exception Of few unadvised persons who
have already returned to The city, scarce a sub.
jecr for the disease to subsist upon. The sick.
ness most complained Of at present is the au.
tumnsl fevers, which are prevalent to limited
extent. In a few weeks we hope 10 be able to
bid our absen. fellow citizens a welcome re.
turn, and strangers hospitable rece3,ion.
