The Cause of Periodical Fevers. The rubjoct of periodical fever*,.such as inter- miUeuts.uud remittents, is always an interesting oae to the inhabitants of tho United States. As elucidating some of the absurdities connected with the origiu of these diseases, ami also as fur nishing some useful precautionary hiuts, the fol lowing opinions of a learned Roman physician, will, wo aro sure, bo well received by our read ers. They are extracted from a paper which we translated from tho original letter, sent over for publication iu tho Sorth American Medical and Surgical Journal, Vol. VII. Soma years, says Folchi, the author of tho es say, have now clap-cd since, while advocating With Hrcchi the utility of woollen garments iu the country around Rome, iu which periodical fevers prevail to such an extent, I adduced some facts tending to exclude the supposed agency of marsh miasma, and to exhibit as remote causes of those fevers tho moisture and diminished temperature which occur iu the sickly regions above mention ed during the night. (Giornale Arcadico, Cental- jo. 1823, p. 1.) It will not lie foreign from our present purpose to recapitulate these facts. 1. A hot und constantly dry summer is the most ex empt from fevers; wheroas the most sickly one is thpt iu which falls of rain alternate with atmos pherical vicissitudes of temperature. This fact has no need of confirmation, since it is one of fa miliar experience with Roman practitioners. It may, howover, be well to mention, that in 1826, when we had so groat an increase of fever pa- tieuts as to require the opening of an additional hall iu Sun Spirito, there had not been that dry summer which had been met with during the five years preceding. 2. Tho inhabitants of Koine who had not goun into the country, contracted, nevertheless, periodical fevers by remaining du ring tho night iu tltoso parts of the city in which, assuredly, the air was coal and moist, but iu which there could not be.suspected any marsh miasm; so also were they seized With fever, who dwelt on rivulets remote from the centre of the city, wear gardens, reservoirs of water, uud in tho cen tre itself, on tho banks of the Tiber. 3. The fre quent relapses in those who had suffered from pe riodical fevers in the city, proceeded uot from the convalescent going into a suspected miasmatic spot, but from his leaving the liouso early in the morning, and returning late iu tho evening, which is equivalent to saying, that he was exposed to a cool am) moist air. 4. In the dangerous months, a fevor has often attacked a person who had not beet* out of .the city, but who, from some pressing cause, had been overheated, and who, uftor being bathed iu sweat and exposed to a curreut of cool air, had his body strongly chilled; so, likewise, he who slept during the night with tho. window of his room open, became readily subject to dis mast). 5. In these dangerous months, if there happened a change in the atmosphere from dry to moist, and from hot to cold, and a loss of cquili- brium.iu tlio.electricity of tile air, very suscepti ble persons, such as those troubled with hysteria aucf hypochondriasis, felt sUch disturbance thro’ their whole frames and so manifest a coldness, that they imagined themselves to bo seized with lever; and at times there ensued in thorn a degree ufheat and alteration of the pulse, having all the appearance of u fever of ponodicity. <J. I have -myself kuown an individual to be attacked with this kind of fever from having, during the sus pected season, fallen asleep near a rivulet: the ground adjoining it was, however, perfectly dry; nor'was thero any stagnant water in the neighbor hood. ,7. Many persons, likewise, are known to sue, who have during many years preserved them selves from fever in tho worst parts of the coun try around Rome, by adopting the most rigid caution in retiring within tueir houses before o- vening, closing the windows, and warming the rooms; and taking care not to go out iu the rnoru- iug until the sun had keen some time above the horizon. 8. During my stay iu Tcrrucina, of more than forty days, and at a time when perio dical fevers were extremely prevulcat, I constant ly observed that tho atmosphere of tho Pontine marshes was filled with a denso vesicular vapor shortly aftor tho setting of tho suu, and before day-break. 9. Our country people arc little or uot at all protected agaiust humidity and noctur nal cold, are badly fed, often Sleeping exposed to tho heavens, with their bodies half covered by tattered garments; vory different from the weal thy and noble, who arc accustomed to wear wool len clothes, eat flesh meat, take particular enro of thoir skin by the frequent uso of baths, and who always‘rctiro to thoir houses towards eveuing, to wait lpr supper. 10. Finally, I adduced a nega tive argument, but yot one which merits to be taken-into tho account, viz. that neither Carru- dori nor Brochi, nor any other chomist or natural philosopher! has been able to discover ouo atom of the supposed miasm, though they concentrated and examined with tho groatest care the vanor in which it is supposed to oxist. The series or facts, sustained by numerous observations, is now ad duced with tho double viiSPof excluding a belief iu mnrsh miasm, us a material cause of intermit tent fevers in the campagna around Rome, and of explaining the remoto causes of those maladies. To my mind, the watory vapor which is con stantly given out from a moist soil during the heat of tho day, and which, becoming denser at nighfe descends towards the lower strata of the atmosphere, accompanied with a notable diminu tion of temperature, is :ho agent which, in a bo dy predisposed to it, occasions tho fever in ques tion;-in using tho languugo of pathologists, it ought to ho called tho occasional cause.—Journal of Health. Hessians.—1766 tho British government paid tho elector of Hossee Cosset nearly two mil lions of dollars for Hessians, hired to fight against •this country, during tho revolutionary war. They lost \5;700 qicn, in all tho campaigns, and somo of the general officers are now lying “quietly in- urned" iutho little church at the comer of Wil liam «ud Frankfort streets in their long queus, cocked hat, muustachios and Hessian boots.—.V.

From the Boston Transcript of Saturday. Turkish Mission to America.—We aro. inform- cd by’Capt. Phelps, of the brig Mermaid, which arrived here on Tuesday last, from Smyrna, that i short time previous to his sailing, he shipped Seignor,'for tho purpose of acquiring general in formation in tho various branches of science and mechanics, ns practised in America.

The Preceptor was furnished with mi ample outfit by tho (>rmid Seignor. It was his inten tion to Invo speut some years in this country, aud to have visited all tile principal cities, dock yards, aud manufactories of tlte United States, lie had embarked on board the Mermaid, and a short tiiho after the vessel was got under weigh, was taken suddenly ill, when Capt. l’liclps, with much regret was obliged to land him, with his retinue aud baggage, again in .Smyrna, llisconi- pluint was not considered alarming, and on 4is recovery, he will'again embark for America; he may be expected by the next arrival. LATEST FROM EUROPE. . New Yuan, October 18. By tho packet ship Birmingham, captain Har ris, the editors of the Journal of Coianieifln have received Loudua papers to the Rth September, aud Liverpool to Ihoshh inclusive. The Markets.—A fair business continued to be done iu CottuH, without change iu prices.— Coffee was firm. There was no important change iu bread stuffs or any other atlicles. The Dutchess of Kent has refused to attend the coronation of King William. That event was to havo taken place on the 8th of September, the date of our latest paper. The London Herald says: “Today a monarch strong in the auctions of his people goes forth to receive with the solem nities of religiou, and amid the honest acclama tions of his subjects, a crown which is consecrated by that highest and purest historical glory .which is associated with the consolidation of a nation’s liberty.’’ The French troops aroagetiring from Belgium. London, Sept. 8.—At length the Reform Hill has passed the Committee. The report is to la- brought up on Tuesday next, wheu the debate upon the general measure will be renewed. The Paris Temps of August 4 says, "a terrible revolt has broken out in the Russian military colo urs. They speak of frightful massacres of gen erals and officers. This event, intelligence of which reached the Government last cveuiug by a courier of the Duke of Mortemart, may have a great influence upon tho fate of Poland. London, Sept. 7.—German, Dutch and Brus sels papers to the date of yesterday were last night received. Their contents generally possess but little interest; aud as regards Poland in par ticular—for which it is impossible not to feel at this moment a painful anxiety—their barrenness is absolutely disappointing.. Of Rudiger, anil the victory which was claimed over him, we find not. a word, and wo have reason to believe that no thing more is known than has been already pub lished. H’e find it stated, under the head of Ber lin, the 1st of September, according-to the latest accounts from the head quarters of the Russian imperial army, they were still at Nndarzvu; ou the 23d; and the outposts were about four wersts (two English miles and a half) from Warsaw.— Since the late events nothing farther has taken place. The first division of the troops which General Krutz is bringing to join tho Field Mar shal, had already passed the Vistula. From Vienna, of the 25th of August, there is a vague and improbable report, that Prince Rad- ziwill has been sent as plenipotentiary from the Polish 'National Government to tho Russian head quarters, to negotiate a peace. London, Sept. 6.—The accounts from War saw, by yesterday’s Hamburg mail, are full of deep and melancholy interest. Two orders of the day were brought to us by the above con veyance, signed respectively by Generals Skrzy- necki and Dcmbinski, the former on resigning, the latter on assuming, the command of the pa triotic army of Poland. Skrzynccki’s address to the troops is imbued in every lino of it with a selves sufficiently strong, or that matters were not well concerted, refused to accompauy their comrades, and only 400, about one half them, undertook the task of overturning Don Miguel and his tyrannical Government. They proceed ed through tho different streets, with their colors flying, and baud playing tho constitutional hymn; and as they passed through, tho people ill gener- al, from tno windows, cheered them with Viva Donna Maria, Don Pedro, Villa Flour, t,‘c. They sont dotnehments to several of the barracks, part of whom only turned out. They marched to the Rosia square, where they were soon surrounded with the different regiments of infantry and caval ry. The 7th cavalry charged them, hut was re pulsed, aud gave way to the 4th regiment, who maintained their ground to the last, not having n single ball cartridge. Don Miguel, on hearing of the risingof tho troops, shut himself up in Belem Castle, his staff went to reconnoitre, and soino spirit of generous and self-forgetting devotion to his country’s service, at the same tiino that it re quires from tho soldiers, in terms of affectionate solicitude, tbnt they will follow the example he himself proposes, while fighting in the ranks, to set them of implicit obedience to die authority of their new commander, and of unconquerable zeal and courage in tho cause of liberty. There is on apparent calmness as well'as moderation in all the public documents that havo been publish ed with Skrxynecki’s name, which possesses an indeseribla charm. Insurrection at Lisbon.—On Saturday evening the 21st Aug. at 10 o'clock, the 4th regiment of infantry, at Campodo Rio barracks, turned out and declared for Donna Marin II. A cadet of the regiment went to the commanding officer and demanded of him the regiment colors, which were refused, and, in the act of drawing his sword, tho cadet run him through the body, and took the co lor*. Part of this regiment uot thinking thcra- shots wero fired at them, and the Coude de St. llartine, and the Baron de Bcsura, wore shot, as it was supposed, taken for Don Miguel, being liko him iu stature. After all was over, Don Miguel, about 3 o’clock, came from the Castle and rodo to the city nttho head of his staff. Tho reports of the killed and wounded, aro va rious. It is stated to bo 150 to 200. By day light or a little aftor, 374 of the 4th regiment were seat as prisoners onboard of the St. Sebas tian hulk. A major of the police was mortally wounded in tho affray. The Major who ill-trea ted Dr. West is among tho killed. There is no doubt that had Count Villa Flor been present with tho 1400 tnen he tpok St. Michael’s with, iu less than 12 hours ho would have had posses sion of Lisbon, as well as tho major part of the troops. Great Fire at Constantinople.—A Vienna date of August 23d says, “letters from Bucharest of tho 12th of August givo accounts from Constanti- ople of tho 2d, stating that eighteen hundred houses, almost tho whole of Pcra, had been de stroyed bv fire; that sixty thousand persons were without shelter, and had lost most of their pro perty." Latest from Bahia.—Wo learn from a gentle man who came passenger in tho brig Pegasus, from Bahia, which place the brig left on tho first of September, that tho night previous to her sail ing a revolution broke out which caused great a- larm among the inhabitants. Nothing serious however occurred, and the day they sailed all was apparently quiot again, but apprehensions wero afloat that preparations were making among a party of the troops opposed to tho present go vernment for declaring a republic, in which ovent much confusion and bloodshed would likely bo the consequence. Owing to die disturbed stato of things, business of all kinds was extremely dull. Au abundance of American produce in tho iu::LvV butuo sa!-.’< only retail, Moiey very scarce and confidence entirely destroyed. The United States ship Lexington, Captain Duncan, had been spoken (by au arrival «t Baliia a few days previous to the I*, sailing.) in long. 21 W. (no latitude mention.) out 36 days from Norfolk bouud to Pcmaiubuca and Baliia. Her arrival was anxiously looked for by the American resi dents at Baliin.—Phil. Gazette. The New Orleans Mercantile Advertiser of the 8th inst. says—"Our eity continues very healthy. During tho last week a great number of the patients at tba hospital were discharged; but at the same time the iuflux or others was uo less extraordinary, being greater tliuu at any former period, aud making the whole number of inmates uj> to yesterday morning at IU o’clock 264, out of which number only 29 are females.” Letters received at Charleston by the Samuel Wnght, state that the British Aft, imposing the 5-6d. duty on Cottoii, had received the Royal assent on the 25d Aug. but it had not gone into operation as late «* the 2d of Sept, at Liverpool. Military—We are informed that the Head Quarters of the 2d U. S. Artillery, will be re moved from Augusta to Caulonmeut Oglethorpe on tile 1st of next mouth. We hope that hereafter the annual removal of She troops to Augusta will be dispensed with. If Oglethorpe Harraeks should prove as unhealthy as during the first season after their erection, quar ters can doubtless be found within the city both convenient aud healthy. The Collector at New Orleans has recently seized a quantity of what was imported as SvRue but which, on being aualized, proves to bo Sugar dissolved in water, aud yielded more than eight poutuls of sugar to the gallon, or eight hundred ponpds. to tho hogshead, of a quality superior to 'auy^ttjade in Louisiana. Syrup pays a duty ol fifteen per cent ou its value where shipped, and Sugar'three cents per lb. The 800 pounds iu the West Indies at three cents per pound would cost twenty four dollars; these twenty four dollars, with tile addition, of per cent, would pay a duty at the Custom Douse, of fifteen percent, amounting to' three dollars and iiintey cents. Ou the other hand the eight hundred pounds of real browu Su gar, imported witli 110 view to evade the Revenue Laws, would at three cents per pound, pay nearly seven times as much, or exactly twenty four dol lars.

Florida.—Wclcam from the Tallahassee Flori dian, that the people of Florida have nullified Govomor Duval's proclamation, ordering a new election for Delegate to Congress, and that they havo refused to vote in every district vet heard from. It may be recollected that Mr. White was clcctfcd in May last, over Mrw Gadsden by about sixty, votes. The Governor however declared one of the county returns informal, which pro duced a tie and a new election was ordered. The editor of tho Ncwbern Spectator, in his paper of tho 14th inst. says—"We believe that the Cotton crop in North Carolina this year will not exebed (if it equal) the half of last year’s crop.” Philadelphia, it appears by tho accounts just made up, remitted SI 1,952 to the sufferers. tri=> We have received tho new miMieation paper from Charleston, called the Eveimig 1 ost.

The following aro extracts recently Received 111 this eity from different sections of Lotti‘-' aua a,u * Mississippi. Adams County Miss.—“The hopes we enter tained two or three weeks ago, of au averaji?® crop being realized, are, from the unprecedeniei, rains at tills season of the year, entirely prostra ted, According to the accounts received from various sections of this State, we cannot calculate upon more than two thirds of an average crop." Jefferson County Miss.-—“In our letter to you of the 19th ultimo, wo gave it as our opinion that an average crop would he mnde, and that from information received, the staple would be gener ally, fine and good, but we regret to statu, that 1 the raius and dump weather we have since ex perienced, have materially changed the prospect. We uow question whether at the extent, more than three fourths of an average crop can he made.” Claiborne County Miss. ‘I think from the very bad appearance here and elsewhere, in the cotton counties, that the present crop will be fear fully short. Three weeks ago the planters here would have told you they were making average crops now all agree that there will not he in this State more than a half to two thirds of au aver age crop. The deficiency has been caused by continued heavy rains, high winds and rut to au alarming degree in some cases. Many indeed will not gather more than a fourth of an ordinary crop iu this county, aud that too on our best soil.” Warren County Miss.—“You must be fully convinced by this time, that the cotton crops will he very short. At this season last year most planters had gathered otic third of tiicir crops, while at present hut few have fairly commenced picking. Cotton is grassy, luxuriant iu its growth, with hut few bolls. The season indicates an ear ly frost, which will destroy all the young bolls that h.iveuewly matured, stain and otherwise injure the cotton. .The crop will be short, li the crop was aslarge'as lust season, it is uow so late that it could not be picked out, and but very little has been picked out yet iu anvof the counties. The short crops ought to influence thu prices, uud should he generally known.” Wilkinson County Miss.-—“Our crops in this eounty are full one half short, compared with the crop of last year.” Lawrence County Miss..—“I think our grow ing crop will he only half of what it was last year.” Amite county Miss.-—“I can say as my opin ion, that the crops in this quarter are damaged from one fourtli to one half."
