ExlraH of a letter from a gentle

of this paper .
| “ You no doubt will be anx
• ious to hear of the fituation of
this place, as refpefts the conta
gious fever that has prevailed in
- this city for two years paH. 1
am happy to inform you and the
good citizens of Savannah, th t
it is very healthy here at prelcnt,
and the alarm that was excited
about two weeks fincc is totally
luhfided : but I mud brg leave
to inform you and the merchants
of Savannah, that there is a fever
th t prevails here at this time,
calb d the Bank Fever . th it piovcs
more fatal ro men's property,
then ever the yellow fever did to
their lives—there is a new calc
ahnoll every day, and the dilor
dcr has b-en communicated to a
number of Georgians, being
within the icach of my know
ledge, loffes Curtained by pcop e
from Georgia to the amount of
27,000 dollars, by two failures
in this city. I believe i can
venture to fay, that trade has
not for a number of years been
fo embarraffed as it is at this
time—lnfurance is on the rile,
in confequenceof the late depre
dations committed by the French
and Englilh on our commerce—
there is one Infurance company
that has within a few months
loft upwards of half a million
of dollars by Englifti captors
only.

of Europe ; that he fhould be ;
an enemy to the (edition and
