The reprts circulated since the departure Of the
SsyanI all from Key West Of the prevalence Of yellow
fever to the extent Of huJdred cases among the
crew, very naturally excited in this community sn
er xety and fear Iest the ship, by coming into the
LarboT, should spread coriagion and death in our
midst. The accounts which reached respecting the
sanitary condition Of The vessel prove to have been
greatly exaggerated, and doubtless obtained currency
through The disappointment which arose at Pensacola
on account of the ots to the mechanics there of SIX
weeks job in ovefhaulipg and repairing the ship.
