It gives u« pleasure to present to the public the following official an • sstisfacory communication from the Board of Health, on the subject of the late rumors of contagious sickness in ihis place. IlealtifOffre, Boston, July 7,1819. Whereas 'he Beard of Health have been inform cd that reports have been circulated that the yel low fever exists in this town, and that it is very sickly; and whereas such reports, if credited, may prove very injurious to the town of Boston as well as the country, by exci'ing unnecessary alarm, and intercepting the trade and intercourse between this and othe»* places. The Board of Health of the town of Boston hereby assure the public, that it is remarkably healthy in th.s town; more so than it has been at (his season for many years, and that no case of yellow fevc r .exists in this town u ithin the knowledge of »his Board. It is true that three or four cases cf death have happened of late, where the cause was oj a question-Me na ture, but as Physicians differed in opinion on the character of (he disorder, and every precaution having been taken by the Board to insure safety c> the inhabitants in any event, no justifiable cause of alarm has at any time ex : sted; and it is extreme ly regretted by the Hoard, that when any cases oc cur within the knowledge of any physician, as well as other persons, that would tend to excite apprehension or aLtrm, that immediate informa tion is not given to the Health Office, that sUch measures may be taken, as not only to secure the citizens from danger, but prevent all unnecessary alarm and terror. The Board of Health feel them selves responsible to the public for a faithful exe cution of their du*y, and should any case occur of the yellow fever, or any otlier malignant disorder that may threaten the safety of the citizens, rot only will »!1 precautionary measures be taken by the Board to prevent any spread of the contagion, but the public may rest assured, that a correct and faithful statement of the same will be publish ed by order of the Board, so that a true account of the state of the health of the town may at all times be relied on. It will be recollected that this Board have under their care Hospital Island in the harbor of Boston, where re sides the Assistant Phy sician of the Board, and where the best as well as exceeding pleasant accommodations are provided for the sick, and whenever circumstances justify the measure, this Board will cause not only thos? who are diseased with infectious or ma lignant . disorders, but such as are hninently exposed, and probably will be affected by the same, to be removed there, and suitably accommo dated and provided for. It is huped therefore that the public will rely, vith proper confidence, on the board of health, for such information aa will tend to quiertke fear^aswcllaa secure the aafe- Jy of the citufens. And the secretary of this board is directed to thb ccmmunh&uon to be published & the A late arrival at Boston, in forty-seven days from Cadiz, reports that “the American envoy has •beert Vvell received at Madrid; that - the treaty •ceding the Floridss was ralihed; and heut Read “a as'daily expected at Cadiz with the ratification, to bring it to America in the sloop of war Hornet, ‘appointed to sail the 1st of June for New-York* —which is ill direct contradiction to the informa tion we gave on Friday last, furnished by the Adeline, arrived at Alexandria in thirty two days from Gibraltar; we merely publish these accounts as they come to hand, without pietending to any farther knowledge than what appears on the face of the report. T|ie vicinity of Gibraltar to Cadiz and information through that channel, being near ly twenty days later than the Boston arrival, iu- cunes us to attach most credit to the former statement—name_l>: that the treaty was not signed as late as the 28th of May last; this conjecture is fully confirmed by a reference to the respective accounts. By a private channel we learn* that the bearer of a copy of the treaty, dispatched by the Gheva- lier Be Onis, via Lisbon, reached Madrid nearly ten days prior to Mr. Foisyih, who arrived at tha| city on the 13th of May, so that it is pretty cer tain the treaty had teen in possession of che.flpan ish government, at least a fortnight, without re ceiving the sanction of the king; however* thi: delay iscompatively trifling, when we reflect on the ceremonious punctilio of the Spanish court; that always stand in the way of every thing like dispatch in diplomatic matters. Though, we are not disposed to doubt the ulii mate ratification sf the treaty, we cannot help Ye- marking that, the host of disappointed grantees, whose land claims will be excluded by the pro- visiOfts of the present treaty, wli.ch added to for eign interference, might muster a pretty formida ble opposi'ion, and create serious scruples in the weak heads of Feidinand’s ministry, quite sutli cient to dtfer, on very plausible pretexts the irn mediate ratification of this treaty. However, these are merely suggestions: We are iri daily exnecta tion of something definitive on this head.—/f r o*/i- ing ton City Gazette, VI th inst. We have various reports, by arrivals from Gib rallar, etc. at divers ports, ^respecting the ratifies tion by Spain of die treaty for the cession of the Floridas. One story is, that on the 28th of May the treaty was not ratified; which is quite likely, as Mr Forsyth, the bearer of it, had scarcely been in Madrid long enough for the king to have read it over after its reception. Another report is that it not only was not, but would not be, ratifi ed. This matter vetake to be beyond the pre science of either captain or supercargo; ar.d therefore we shall believe it when we see it, and put our faith in no one’s second-sight. The third report, that at a given day the treaty was ratifi td, we apprehend, is less to be believed than ei ther of the others; as, by a comparison of dates, it appears doubtful whether our minister had then reached Madrid. . . . In good time, we shall have information which may be reHed on, and it shall be given to our readers. We havtf very little doubt of being able, within ten or fifteen days, to announce the ratifi cation of the treaty by the government ot Spain. —Nat. Intel- 13th inst.

GENERAL MINA. We have a report, in the Louisiana Herald of the 5th ultimo, saxl to be derived from a gentle man just returned from the province of Texas: that general Mina, the patriot chieftain, is yet in the land of the living; nay, more, that he is or was not along ago, in the vicinity of the town of Monteray, (or Montelrey) at ihe head of any vmy of three thousand men well armed and supplied, and had been successful in. several engagements with the Spaniards. This story is told with as much particularity as if it were true. But, after the concurring accounts and solemn attestations Of his execution which we have had, we cannot, however disposed to do so., yield our belief • tr the report of his resurrection, after an interval of about two years.
