EXTRACT OV A LITTER FROM BARBARO'S, DEC. 16. 1 am sorry to inform you, that there has been a considerable number of cases of yellow fever in the suburbs of Bridge-town, which has extended as far up as the swampy low ground under St. Ann's, but particularly in the dock-yard, when a number of white persons, belonging to the Storekeeper-General's Derettmest, wen miserably accommodated. These people had only arrived a short time before from England, and, as was to be expected, 1 am sorry to say, the mortality amongst them has been very great. A considerable number of women and children belonging to the Royal Artillery, Sappers, and Staff Corps, have died, with a few of their husbands, who were allowed to sleep out of bat-rads. The inhabitants of that low and unhealthy situation having either died o?been removed, the fever is gradually abating ; and now the cold weather is coming in, great hopes are entertained that the mortality is at an end. The Scots Fusileers, who are quartered in a barrack situated on a rising ground to windward of the Parade, have lost very few, and these were men employed in the Public Departments, or servants to Staff Officers, who were, of course, allowed to sleep nut. The following are the names of the Officers who have I•died :—Captain Roberts, Commander, Royal Engineers ; Assistant-Surgeon Donally, Royal Artillery; Dr. Palmer, on the Half-pay of the 63d; and Hospital-Assistant Caverhill. All these Officers lived on the low ground before mentioned.* 1  Boston Papers arrived • this morning to the 10th February. The following is an extract of a letter from Pernambuco, dated the Ist December : " This country is, I believe, about to follow the steps of the mother country, and• it is the opinion it will succeed. The people are only whiting to know whether or not the King will accept the terms proposed, which have reached St. Salvador, and-sailed for Rio. Be it as it may, it is thought all will terminate quietly and without bloodshed, although a great number of troops are here, who are supposed to be at the head."  Extract of another letter, from the same place, dated the 6th December : " Since my last, this place has been all in confusion, owing to the discovery of a plot to murder the Governor and many others, and thereby effect a change of Government ; but he has arrested a great number of Officers, as well as individuals, which it is thought will, for the present, prevent a change taking place. This affair has prevented produce coming to market, and those who hold any will not sell." A Bill has passed the American House of Representatives, to reduce the Army nearly one half in number, and more than one half in expense. It was under consideration by the Senate, where it was expected to undergo some modifications; but not of a nature to involve a higher scale of expenditure. The Committee of Ways and Means in the House *of Representatives hare made their Report, in which they express their opiuion that the future Revenue of the Government of the United States. will be equal to the expenditure. and that, should no change occur,. it will be sufficient, before the Ist of January, 1§25, to repay both the Loar, of last year, and any Loan that may be requisite for the service of the present year.— Allowing for a retrenchment of expenditure for the present Session, to the amount of 1,500,000 dollars, they calculate that 3,979,094 dollars is the amonot to be provided for by Loans. By an account received at New York, from Hayti, it appears, that p a plot for the indiscriminate num:, Isacre of all the Whites and Mulattoes in the place •  had been discovered, and the ringleaders , Five thousand Blacks had been armed for that . pose, and their bloody intention was to haveput betue; in execution on Christmas.day but it was fortonatreie discovered in time to prevent it, and the Blacks dis. persed.
