On our own parts we venture further to fuggeft, and it is not a furtuife taken up for fingulariiy and novelty—that there is yet another livolution to take place in Europe which, though it might have been eafilv fore Len, has not yet been promulged.

Ihe Ilavannah has hitherto been generally healthy, but owing to the vaft influx of (Iran gers and the army which if col- Icftcd there to the number of 30,000 men, it will hereafter for a 1 »ng time probably be a hot bed for the fever, and worfl of a i the iflands.
