•September, from tliese and the informaton of the pas-
sengers themselves, we learn that the yellow fever had
Been raging with great violence at Antigua for several
weeks, and caused a dreadful mortality among those of
<heinhabitants who were not thorougidyiseasnucd to the
climate; among the natives, however, and those who were
inured to the climate, the effects of the disease were but
slightly experienced. The contagion was brought to
Antigua in a vessel from Guadaloupe, where it is said to
have swept off nearly one third of the inhabitants. The
company of Commedians from this place, who have been
for Some time past performing in the West-Indies, were
at Antigua when the fever commenced its ravages; Mr.
Jieaumont, the manager, and Mrs. Van Zioidt, one of the
actress, soon caught the infection and died. The rest of
the company, however, under the auspices of another
manager, of the name of Allport, continued playing not-
withstanding the awful mortality which surrounded them.
St. John’s, (Antigua) September 19.
We feel sincere regret at being ag* in obliged to record
ih' oar mortuary list for thrtpast week the names of those,
■who in that short space of time, have fallen victims to the
Fever that has now too long prevailed here. The storm
of Monday lasttdisposed us to hope that its violence
would"hivc been abated in consequence of the change
in the weather; in this, however, we have been painful
ly disappointed, as each succeeding day has added one or
more names to the melancholy list. With some few
exceptions, the fever has been confined to persons who
have resided here but a short time.

New-Orleaxs, September 39.
On Saturday at noon the inhabitants of New-Orleans
were startled by the fire bell. Vvith their usual alacrity
they repaired to the scene—but such was the suddenness
anil fury of the conflagration that before the alarm could
be spread through town, the whole neighborhood where
the calamity originated, was enveloped in flames. We
are unwilling to allude to the cause of this disaster; but
it isrthe imperious and indispensable duty of the corpo
ration to prevent a recurrence of an accident from the
same cause, and they have it in tlieir power to do so.
The fire first caught in the new building of Mr. John
Davis, adjoining the Orleans theatre in Orleans street—
the -wind was very high at the time, and the houses in
the neighborhood being dry in consequence of a long
drought, the destruction spread with unparalleled ra
pidity. Three sides of the square, viz: Orleans, from
Royal to Hourbon street—Bourbon/ 1 from Orleans to
St. Anne street, and St. Anne halfway to Royal street,
are totally destroyed; while the square above, viz: the
upper side of Orleans street from Royal to Bourbon,
Bourbon from Orleans to Sf. Peter street, and nearly the
whole of the tower and upper side of St. Pete?street, be
tween Royal and Bourbon streets, are likewise destroy
ed. Had it not been for the prompt and powerful suc
cour afforded by major Many with a detachment of Unit
ed States’ soldiers, the fl.unes would have spread to the
square including the principal, the prison and the cathe
dral, tfie consequences of which in ail probability**would
have been that one half the city would at this momeut
be a heap of desolation.
At about 3 o’clock r. itr. the fire slackened, more in
consequence of the lulling of the wind than of the exer
tions of the citizens—these though very ardent an4 vigo
rous, were almost neutralised’for want of the necessary
.implements. . . _
The Indians appear somewhat dissatisfied at our pun
ning lines, not knowing, or not - wishing to know whaj.it*
meansiamlnot understanding the treatywhich they signed
some ye.iuw ago. There is but little danger iqiprehended.
of their commencing hostilities. I beiieve.if they canndt
frighten, they will not fight us.
“Mr. Clioteau, mentioned in my last letter to you, was
not, defeated, as reported, but had a fight; he had 80
men, and was attacked by 150 Pa antes,• he lost one
m:.n killed, and had four wounded. He defeated the In
dians, who-'lost 7 killed, whom he found, and a- great
number wounded, (but supposed many more were kil
led;) he brought in 44 packs of beaver, or 4,400 lbs. He
llas returned with a party of about 40 men, to the moun
tains, to stay two years.

its politeness, comforts and civilization.”

EXTRAORDINARY SUMMER’S EXCURSION.
One of the gentlemen of the Philadelphia bar, P. A.
Brown, esq. iias just returned from a summer’s jaunt to
England, in which he was accompanied by Mrs. B. There
having been no jury trials in civil cases, at June #rni, *s
usual, on account of the heat of the season, he has, without
ionsing a single court, resumed his piuiice. Mr. B. left
Philadelphia op the 17th of June, and returned on the
29th September. The laborious practice of the law
obliges gentlemen in extensive business, to make journics
to the Spriggs, Falls ofNigara, Canada, &c. to recruit tlieir
health; but never before lias so extraordinary an excur
sion taken place as the present. Mr. B. has, no doubt,
derived much general knowledge from his visit to the
curiosities of England, as well as great as professional
advantages from seeing the courts of justice. He has
heard 'lie arguments of the ablest lawyers, and the char
ges of the most distinguished judges of Great Britain; has
made two voyages between the oid and new world; and
has returned to his office after an absence of only 104 days,
40 of which he s ,ent in England, principally in and about
London. Greatly recruited in health, he will no doubt
be enable to pursue his professiou with additional plea
sure, industry and effect.

Yesterday Miss , about whom all the world has
been talking, exposed her beautiful, adamantine, soft and
lovely person, for. the first time, in the theatre roval, in
the bewitching, melting, and all tearful character oflsu-

than it could hold, with thousands of admiring spectators,

John Adams, whom the federalists formerly consider

for democrats. *
John Quincy Adams, our minister in England, was
once a federalist, and idolized by that party—but he has
long since abandoned it, and given it a very bad cior-c-
ter—declaring that its leading characteristics are devotin
to England, and contempt of America.
Oliver W oleott was once a federalist, and a very dis'i.
