' tie-rally cnmnrtnced its. fatal attacks in the
vicinity of wharves, it is probable that in ad
dition to the caiife 1 ? already mentioned, a
predisposition to take this disease may be in
duced by breathing an atmosphere loaded i
with vegetable aid animal putrefaftion ex- (
haling from the hqlds of faveral vessels that <
fnay happen to unload near other.. If <
the principle of inflammability in the human '
constitution produced by this cause, Ihould
not be fufficient to give rife to a yellow fe- 1
ver, it might be kindled into a flame by the J
sparks from vegetable putrefaftion, the ar- j
tides of which might be landed on the <
wharve:, from the rubbish of their cargoes, t
or from the filth among their ballad. Hence i
these causes of disease may be removed, by i
firft expelling the foul air from the holds of
the (hips, or removing its ofFenfive contents I
as soon as discharged ; or obliging the cap- '
tain to throw them out below the city, or
upos Windmill Island : and if all our docks
were filled up, and the wharves extended to
low water mSrk, much exhalation would ,
be prevented, and the'health cf those nigh
them amended. ~
An opinion has gone forth, that if it be
established that the yellow fever can oriiri
natcamong ourselves, the reputation of the .
• country will be injured ; and with this p«p-'
ular idea you have concluded your last letter
to me ; but I liope our citizens will'bc con- '
vinced, that their true interest consists in ,
believing " that our public health
depends ourselves." To destroy j
this belief, " is to do an essential inju-i
ry to all populous cities" : for who ;
can be so blind as not to fee, that nndev this
imprefllon, the probable means of preventing I
a subsequent attatk of'a fffalignant fever, by
an attention to the removal of the domestic <
causes, are infinitely 'more within our con- 1
troul, than any that can be applied to pre- ;
vent its importation, if jt can only be intro- '
duced by ficl persons, or infeßed clothing, as 1
you have so often asserted. What city can 1
be secure, as long as it is in the power of any i
captain, or any fail or to smuggle in a sick i
person, or some old jacket of their defceaf
ed comrades, ieyind the pefftbility of detedion
by your/elf, or any health officer in the w{jrld.
Nothing fhortof obliging every vefTtl indif
crihiinately to unload at the fort, and sub
mitting every article and package :n the (hip
to infpe£tion, could jnake this discovery.
And if this were to take place, commerce
would be at an end—indeed were it poflible
to prove this fatal disease could enter at no
other avenues than those you have opened
for it, and those too, without the power of
human vigilance, I (hould join mod heartily in
the words of your last address to me, in de
ferring our devoted city, and feelc an asylum
in a climate where we might be fafe from
tire deplorable cffe&a of such an opinion.—
Yet (Till I hope that our situation is not so
hopelek as you have represented it, and that
there ate still means within our power, to pre
vent afeturn of the awful calamity.

CALCUTTA, January 28.
The masquerade at the' Caltut-a theatre o*
WcdnfiTday lift was, as is usual with entertain
mitts of that nature is this country, but thinly
attended
Tho charai?er9 were very f»w, and in general
but indiffsrentVy fupportrfi; th« only exceptions
to the stupidity of theevfning, were u couple of
excellent MaUays, a Savoyard, and an old woman, j
/.atnaiin Shah made his triumphal entry into |
Lahore, thi> capital of the Siicks, on the firft day I
cf this month." We can rflert, nr. the authority
of lettera received yeficrdsy from Futtyhur that |
the report of Zemauu Sh.ih - s retreat. is wholly j
without foundation—on th«? contrary, Inwasprc- ;
parang for his towards Delhi, it which ca |
pi:al. he may be expected to arrive, (hould he ,
meetSvithno opp fition, abotft the end of thin j
month, or the beginning of February. |
Our letters a id, th t Shah's army torfifts of ;
at lead one hundred thoiifar.d fightir.gmen, and
that he is accompanied by a Frenchman, late am
bafiador from the convention ts Conflantinople
In the papers of news transmitted from the
weftwafd, an t flsttd the firlt of Rajib, is 'he
purport of a letter, said to have been received by
Zemaun Shah from Shah Allum.
After complimen s, exprefli»» of the gladness
he feels in the approach, through the divme in
terpv.fition, of rh«j faviar of tht defend
ant of Tinmr obfcrves, " that .Hind or Hindof
tan . has fallen a facrifice to tha degeneracy of her
A*(>ies: and that it behoves him. through whole
.means ihe fpUndor ot the (late is to bereilored,
tohafteir with diligincc to fucconr the brave."
F.xtrafl of a letter from Futtyghnr, dated the
Bth inllant.
u By the last accounts, Zemaun Shah had
pafled Rotas, a fining fort on the weft of the
Jelilum, about seventy cofsfrom the Attoi;k,and
about eighty cofs from the Lahore The cols
of that country is estimated at one mile and an
half, he was therefore about 120 miles from La
hore ; Lahore by diredl road is 250 miles from
Dehli or .57? miles.
•< Tfe Shah-iaftytsr conquered all the coun
try between Indus and tiie Jehlum, which com
prizes nearly a fourth «f the Sheick's country,
extending from the Ghaul leading to Calhe
mire, to the vicinity of the Moultap, and his
objeift apparently is, to fubgite the countries
Jytng between the Jehlum and the Chunaub, and
between this river and the Rawee, as far as
Lahore. Another seas n may secure to him the
Panjab ; but until he (hall have by viilories in
those parts secured to his troops an gninterrup
edpafiage, there cannot surely beanyferieus
alarm from hira "
February 11.
On Tueftay next will be launched a ftip of
thirteen tho'.-fand bag", from the yard of Messrs.
Foreman andß?cen, at Howrath.
Ext raft of a letter from Futtyghur, dated
Jan. 28.
11 We ate now encamped, about two cof3
from Futtyghur, in a westerly direftion,
where we wait the arrival of the Cawnpore
forces; which will be joined by the Nabob's
troops at Kanouge.
" Should necessity require it, which how
ever Ido not think will be the cafe. I pre
sume we (hould all make ? movement to
wards Delhi.
" The persian paper of yesterday, from
Delhi, which is now before me, mentions
.as follows:
« Zemaun Shah had formed his army in
to seven divisions, and endeavoured by dif
ferent roads to surprize the rear of the
Sticks, but being unfuccefsful, had again
united his forces.
" A mod desperate battle was fought at
Umrootfur: it commenced at eight o'cloqk
iti the morning, when the Shah opened his '
(huter renauls, or wall pieces mounted on
camels, upon the Seicks, ant} both parties
commenced a heavy fire with matchlocks,
which continued till two o'clock.
" About this time the Seicks, finding
they had made no impression 011 the en?my,
gave the figual for,a general charga; aiida
greable to their mode in close combat, flung ,
away their turbans, let loose tli<;ir hair, put
their beards in their mouths, daflied
into the midst of the Abdallah amy, sword
in hand.
" The Aklar fays, the two armies con
tinued thjis engaged for four hours, when
Zemaun's troops gave away, and were per
fued by the Seicks» to the very entrance of
Lahore.
" It is mentioned that 3J,000 men were
killed in this engagement —20,000 on the j
part of the Shah and 15,000 of the Seicks."
The Shah was said to have been in La
hore, fortifying the city, and was expe&ed
to leave it by the 25th of December, for
Delhi. It is supposed he in tended to gar
rison Lahore, and make it his principal de
pot.
Zematui Shah is the second son of the ce
lebrated Timur, on whose death his elder
brother, Hnmaion, succeeded to the throne
but was soon deposed and imprisoned by the
address of Zemaun, who immediately usur
ped the government,for which it mull be ac
knowledged his talents were better suited,
than those of his brother.
Humaion is still living, closely confined as
a (late prisoner, at some distance from Ca
bul. He is reported to have many adherents,
and these partizans have more than once
open.y manifefted a disposition to restore
him to the throne. It was a measure of
this kind which obliged Zemaun,on a former
expedition to the Panjab, precipitately to
return to Cabulfton, where his presence
speedily re-eftablifhcd his authority.
Count Gika, a Georgian, well known in
Calcutta, a few years ago, and nephew to
the famous Heraclius, prince of Georgia, is
said to be prime secretary, and adviser of
Zemaun Shah.

Translation of a letter from Woly Buy,
Humza Buy, Badoo Saib Adamjee, and
Salay Mahomed Buyjee, ■Nacodas of the
fliip Dodelay.
7*o Jaffa rjec Samaljee, at Madras.
This is to inform you, that after we had
laden a full aargo on board the (hip Dode
lay, Confiding of timber, planks, and steel
lack, a«d also some articles of freight, we
failed from Rangoon on the 18th of No
vember for Calcutta, commanded by Bal
thazar Loureiro, with a pafTport from the
king, arid under Burmah colours, together
with the mates of the (hip ; the chief mate
named Hoofon Caun, and the second Ma
homed Sadack. The wind being favoura
ble we arrived fafe at the Braces, in order
to meet the pilot; on the 19th December
we saw three pilot schooners, which gave us
hopes of conveying us speedily into the riv
er ; a pilot from orie of the schooners came
on board immediately and took charge of
the (hip; and a few hours after, we disco
vered a (hip with Dani(h colours, which (hip
proving to be of the French made prize of
the three aforefaid pilot schooners and last
ly captured our (hip the Dodelay, and (hip
ped 011 board of us a fufficient number of
, men to secure her—Captain Balthazar Lou
: cjero, in consequence of which, took the
1 Burmah pafTport, and «very document to
; prove the vjffel and property of the fubjefts
j of the Burmah. and remained on.board the
; French (hip for a wh6le day.
But his arguments proving ineffeftive, We
and the mates went on board of the Freneh
(hip and argued the cafe in as strong terms
as p&lible, but the French replied, that
they pay no attention either to the Burmah
pass or colours, and that they will upon no
account deliver up the (hip—when we found
us thus situated, we requested to know of
the cemmander of the French (hip, named
Legeras, the name of his (hip, and to whom
(he belonged—to which he replied, that the
owner of the French (hip is called Monf.
Melartic, and the (hip is called Lentrinch,
mounting 22 guns—and thus having ended
the conversation, he told captain Lauricro,
that he mull go to Mauritius, and that all
the Moors would be sent on (horc; when a
long boat was immediately prepared, iu
which we were ordered to get, together
with the crew us a (loop from Pegu, belon
ging to a merchant there (which they lika
wife captured off the Negraes) in all confid
ing of 45 men, and we were sent on (hore
at Ganjam,at which place we arrived,after 6
days fail, about the 27th^inftant —and all
we have to do now is to proceed to Madras
in the best manner poflible—you will be
pleased in the mean time to inform of this
unfortunate event the Insurance Officers, in
cafe the (hip and cargo are insured—we caia
aot help expressing to you our private feel
ings on this occafton, for we were not even
permitted to take a fliift of linen, excepting
what we had on us.

On Wednesday evening afived in town from
Gioraltar, by tho wayof New-York, >n 45 d»y s >
capt. Brown, late of the brig Nancy of this port,
which veflel was condemned at Algeziras. The
condu<st of the French cruizfrs was at the acme of
ff villainy—property was taken on the mod fri
volous pretences. The Debonair of Boston, was
among the last American vessels which fell into
their hands. Some rumours were current that
the French hid forbid all diviuon of
prize property ; and in consequence of which fe
v.'i al fortune-hunting Americans had quitted the
privateering fcrviie, finding it no longer profita
ble. Two had (trolled down to Gibraltar, where,

its raillery does not descend to invediivc; its wit
aspires to originality. The (l ige (hould be " tic

capt. Webb with a bbl. of beef, a bbl. of ■

Captain Ganifeain informed capt. Webb,
that his orders were to take all velfels Wound t

told him, that had he come from a Biitilh f
