NEW-YORK, Sept. 2 The inhabitants of Baltimore have been repeatedly alarmed with the report of the yellow fever's existing among them—their health eommittee have as often examined and repoi ted that fucli apprehenlions were groyndlefs. From a publication of Dr. Buchanan we learn that it is sickly in Baltimore, and some have died suddenly of putrid disorders, but he denies that the difeai'e is conta- gions. The truth seems to be, iMeafesof a putrid and malignant nature, have pre vailed in the United States for three or four years palt more than was formerly the cafe. The Scailetina Anginofa, or scarlet fever has been in various parts of the Country, with every variety of symptoms, from a inild catarrhal tom plaint, with some fever and little disco loration of the skin (as it appeared in the writers family) to amoft malignant putrid fore throat. In Wethersiield, in Connecticut, a putrid fever raged last ftimmer, which answered the dis ease formerly called the long or flow fe ver—the patient lying ill for 30 or 40 days. In some towns the dyfcntery lias been unfually obftimite and fatal. In New Haven at this time there is a putrid fever of a moll fatal kind, and in its fymptotns resembling the fatal fe ver of Philadelphia ; but it is confined to few people. A putrid fever is now found in vatious northern parts of this state. From all these fafta, we may fafely pronounce, with Dr. Rush, that the Yellow Fever in Philadelphia and all the putrid fevers in various parts of the country ate generated in the United States.

MOSES FOOT, \ From ihe Baltimore Daily Intelligencer. MedYs. Printers, When the feelings of humanity are powerfully awakened, the mandates of ju It ice flagrantly spurned at, and help less humans made fubje&s of cruelty*, the tender heart and humane mind to relieve the ooprelfcd, if not to puiijlh the oppressors, readily prompts to the promulgation thereof; rfafonably flip poling, and anxiously hoping, that the following publication oi an extrafl of a letter, dated Cambrige, July 7, may have the above effect, the recent in Itance of aggravated lidn<:pping thereii; contained, is exposed to public view. " In the month of May last, the schooner Hope, laid to be owned and then commanded by a Captain Smith, failed from James R'Ver, about 30 miles from Peter/burgh, to the lo*ver part of Dorchester county, on bo;ird of whieU veflel there was a certain Elijah Devaii (mark the unparalleled insolence and perfidious delign of these miscreants). Their avowed, intention was to decoy, take off, and fell as Haves all the free negroes they could make the unhappy victims of their cruelty, which fact is | authenticated by taken be fore the afl'ociate jullices of that county and to complete their cruel purpose, fe veral attempts were made (one only oi a |]ave]_; but luckily for the unwar; Llacks, they did succeed in the cafe o three only, a woman and her two chil drcn, all iiidifputably free, being f( born, who had lived with a Mrs. Mar; Woodard, of thf fame county. TheC unhappy beings were at fir if taken b; two young men of the fame place, t< wit, James Woolford ' arid Join Craig, who, being arretted, before thi juitices nforefaid, confefled the wholi charge, upon the promise of interceflioi with the governor in their behalf, upor the condition of their liberating am bringing back these unhappy fubjefts o: their inhuman traffic. They wt.it. tt the place of ihis cruel scene, but thei: too late, the velfel having tailed. Cap tain Smith reported it to be his inten tioH to go to but it is to b< presumed that no deception by one ft hackneyed iii cruelty would be unulet to cover his detign. However, froi; the information of a Mr. Lecompte one of the altbciate justices, (whose vi gilauce and a£tiv.ty 011 this occalion me rit no fmallcomritendatioti) .t is fuppo fed that this unfortunate woman anc children were taken up James River tho', as yet, nothing certain of theii deftiyation has been learned." When the blejfings and benefits ol life are thus, by the merciless hand o: cruelty, at ouce cut off—when the mart endearing privileges of humanity, foci ety and freedom aie deluged by tyranny and Well nigh all that is dear to huraai exiltence grasped by the hand of oppref Con—who could bear the painful ftroki with much less ailliftion than keen de fpair I And what wonder Ihould thi cry of vengeance pursue the a ii this horrid scene ? .W-hat mind that feel for human —what eyes that fk>v with tear# of pity—what bread tha throbs With psnofijl forrow>—will no for, these unhappy hi'imans feel pity care, or w«ep ? and what heart tha bipeds at injured innocence will n'ot wit! indignation burn agsintt those furie clothed in human (hape ?

Remarks on the Democratic declaration, Pulli/hed in the morn ng papers of Monday, lajl week. The firft and second articles are very well for the most part —The only ob ec tion to them is that they are quite use less—the Republican friends to our go vernment having anticipated rhe senti ments, and made them a rule of their peaceable coJiduft. These article* therecfore only come in to bring up the rear of public opinion. The third article is tlill more useless; for not only luis every conciliatory step been laketi with tl'iefe refractory iniur gents, but the President lias lately sent. commiiiioners to perfuadc them to sub mit to the laws, before he resorts to the use of forcible means : and this lince they have aiifeit in open rebellion. This article therefore ftamls for nothing, unless it is lo (hew that democrats may be right if they will follow the Preh dent even at agieat dillance Article 4th items to be a vote of thanks to Governor Mifßin for attempt ing negotiation with ihe infur,gents— this is well enough—But why is the Prehftent forgotten in this vote of ap- probation ? Why do not the democrats approve of the Prelident's conduit in leading commiilioners, as well as go vernor Mifflin's ? In the sth article, the decided opinions contain a number of decided errors. That the mode of colle&ing rever-1 tues by cxcife is opprefiive and danger ous to civil liberty is not always true— it may be true and it may be falfe ; ii the colle&or is armed with powers that are hostile to liberty, the law is danger ous : if not, it is not so. The propo rtion that excii'cs ate always and necef farfly dangerous and opprellive is not true —In America,"the excise duties are as little oppieffive as any .tax that is paid and the outcry agaiuft than is till a iham pretaxt of turbulent men to co ver their ill defigris. . J Nor is an txcife duty less equal in its operation than other duties. It is as equal as an impost and infinitely more equal than a land tax can pofiibly be. This afleition of the demociats is there fore as untrue, as the last—at lealt fame obje&ion be made to all tax es, not one of which is or can be per fectly equal. That excises produce vexations is local ly true —that* is, if peopie are crass and wilful about paying duties of ai.y kind, they wijl be ve-.cd at paying an escife ; but p ople who are difpofrd to comply with | all reasonable requisitions of government I arc not Vexe-'i with the excise. Is or have j excises generally been productive of viol • ence, or ot tranquility in coun | tries where they have been eflabhlhed — | Jn the infaiicts, in which they have pro-j i duced theie effects, i; has been owing to a 1 tyrannical mode oi colit'ilinjj the dutis, which is not the cafe in America, the law >' having guarded the -liberty and property ' of its i'ubjt&s from ac'ls of op&reflien. As to the number of officers it creates, the democrats are wretchedly out in their calculations. Long experience and incoa j tellable facfls prove that no taxes ecctpt :■ im' create foJew cjpCers &io little ex pence of colle&ion as excises. j One' remanlc more—These democrats ! declare they dilapprove of forcible reflfift . i ance to the law, bad as it is, yet in a mo \ ment declare, that excises " tend to excite "j alarming jcaloufes and diffentions which ; t can only ejid in opposition and refinance . < bn one part, and violence and oppression on L the other." This looks very much like a hand-1 some apology for the inforgcnts—it is j faying, the fault is in tne government which has driven them to retiftance, and now "to 1 quell them by forcc for their treasons, wilt be violence and opprufiio.n on the part of government. Strip off the cover, and this is the amount of the whole publication. PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 4. A letter dated Conandarqui, An guft 12, lays, " I am informed by an Indian from the Welhvard that the In dians 101 l seventy men in their late at tack on Fort Recovery—and that the Canandawagas are returning to lower Canada ; a party who have been attive in the war with the hollile Indians ; the infoimant favs two were killed and one wounded of this party." A letter from the we ft ward fays that the Committee of twelve on the pan of the Insurgents have fully acceded to the proportions of the State Commissioners —and promise their influence to induce the Committee of Sixty to do the fame. A letter from Cadiz, dated the fif teenth of July, was received by Cap?. Blomller which fays that! BaUiaiurrender ed to Lord Hood only for th" want of provisions, not on account of the tire of the besiegers—that it was expe&ed the whole island would be conquered, but that the acquisition wonld coit the English, Italian, and Neapolitan troops, much more than it is worth ; that the Spaniards have been again defeated in Catalonia, notwithstanding which, le vies of men, and every preparation to prosecute the war, proceed with thjc greatest vigor, and it is the general ex pectation that something dec-five will i take nlace before the campaign clofts.
