That part of the "Point" which timore in 1819 and 1821, and more slightly in the present year, was the "yellow fever," (as all the doctors say that it was, or a grade of bilious which amounts to the same thing), we feel authorized to speak a little about it. In 1819, that section of our city which is called the "Point," and containing about an eighth part of our population, was pretty generally affected with this disease-350 persons (in all) died of it during the season, and the majority of the people of that section abandoned their homes, about 1000 being encamped and supported by public provision and private bounty. In 1821, a small part of the same district was afflicted; the deaths therein, by the fever, may have amounted to about 150, and, perhaps, a fifth part of the population removed. In the present year, 1822, a still smaller part, and in a new place, was affected--but the deaths may have amounted to 130 or 150; because there were fewer removals, not more than an eighth or a tenth of the whole people of the "Point" having fled from the disease, In each of those years, such as left their homes generally took up a temporary residence in other parts of the city--many, with their bedding, &c. in the most densely populated districts and neigh. The fever also prevailed in some other parts of the city-such as Smith's wharf, Dugan's wharf, &c. and there were a number of cases in Commerce street, &c. but the noxious matter was seemingly expelled from those places by the exertions of the board of health, soon after its appearance. was the most unhealthy in 1819, has been nearly, if not altogether, exempt from the disease in the present year as we believe from the vigorous exertions of the board of health in 1820. The malady that lately prevailed has been called "bilious fever," but is of the same character as that which has af. fected various parts of Maryland and the states adjacent. An estimable friend, who resided on a most delightful spot about six miles from Baltimore, lost his own life and that his niece, and his lady also nearly died, from having visited his daughter in Calvert county (who perished of this disease), after their return home: but no other of a very numerous and most affectionate family were afflicted with it. Richmond, Oct. 14. A mortality has afflicted the family of Blandfield, in the county of Essex, which is sufficient to touch the hardest heart. One of the interesting daughters was the first to fall a victim. A second soon followed her to the tomb. Dr. Geo. Clark, a son-in-law, and a highly esteemed physician of Georgetown, (D. C.) visited the family to administer his professional services, and shared the same fate on last Saturday week. The father himself, and a respected guest, who is a lieutenant in the navy, are now stretched on a bed of sickness. The sick, indeed the whole family, are scattered among the hospitable neighbors. It is much to be apprebended that the disease has put on the type of yellow fever. There is black vomit spoken of. It is said the disease is ascribed to some shingles which were mouldering in one of the cellar rooms, for some time shut up-the room was opened, and the fatal effluvia is supposed to have pervaded the house.

"infected district," in consequence of receiving the fever from persons or goods, from that district. This broad assertion is offered from much observation on the nature of the disease--if incorrect, proof of the contrary may be easily furnished, nay, would have been furnished; because some in N. York would rather that a man should doubt the Christian religion than a contagious principle in the yellow fever! Yet, with this proof at their own doors, in the "very teeth" of obstinate demonstration, the authorities at New York quarantined vessels from Baltimore, during the present season, until the 1st of November ensuing though they must have known that, of our 60,000 inhabitants, not more than 500 or 600 had even removed a few hundred yards, to avoid any disease prevailing here--that the city, proper, is as healthy as ever it was at this time of the year; that the people, in general, have no sort of fear of the disorder, and that there is no general cause for it! What strange inconsistency-to receive persons and goods from their own “infected district" without apprehension of danger, though to travel the dis. tance may consume only half an hour's time, and quarantine vessels from Baltimore, loaded at and departing from places not liable to the suspicion of being infected! The mystery of this is past finding out, and we shall not attempt it. But we do hope that the time of such things has nearly passed away, and that mighty truth will soon triumph over obsti. nate, inconsistent prejudice. It is very possible that vessels filled with noxious matter, may cause the decease of persons by the yellow fever, who inhale the poison-but the disorder will not spread be. There is one, however, that deserves a special notice. John M'llenry, (colonel of one of our Bal. timore regiments of militia, and son of the former secretary of war, after whom our famous little fort was named), returning from the springs, stopped at Mercersburg, Pennsylvania, and was there seized with a malady at that time prevailing in the place. Ilis illness being reported, his brother-in-law, John B. Howard, jun. (general of one of our brigades, and son of our much revered revolutionary veteran), went on to administer to his necessities, and, soon after the decease of colonel M'Henry, he also was taken down, and died with a few days illness. Now, this malady that prevailed at Mercersburg is exactly the same as that which has afflicted a small part of the city of Baltimore—a high bilious fever; and, at a place hitherto regarded as one of the most Healthy in the country, we have suddenly lost two of our most estimable citizens-who, if goodness of heart, enlightened minds and overflowing means could have saved them, would not have left us so Prematurely. † Since the preceding was in type, we notice that be proclamation establishing a quarantine is re oked.

Escurra acknowledged that an American pilot boat schooner, (the Dennis of Newburyport) was robbed of money and clothes. If this came to his knowledge, permit me to ask why he did not punish the offenders? He afterwards sent the same men to board the American schooner Cquette, which they robbed. All the authority by which the Palmyra had to cruise is derived from the signature of a lieut. in the Spanish Navy, who is also the harbor master of St. John's, Porto Rico, and upon examination of the commission, it will be found to be one that had expired, and afterwards unlawfully extended!!!

The respect I bear to the civil tribunals of my country, suffers me not for one moment to cast any reflection on the decision of the honorable judge.

The following is the Greek official account of the latter affair-but in regard to the dates, the difference between the old and new stile must be recollected: About the second victory, we learn, that the wreck of the Turkish army retreated on the side of Corinth, where they were joined by fresh troops to the amount of about 6,000 men.

When the steadiness and sobriety of the Scotch character is considered, we may well wonder how such things took place. The Irish papers contain a long report of the trial of seven men, as actors in a most terrible deed of violence committed on a young lady, aged 16, of the name of Goold. The rascals entered the house by force, made her get out of bed, carried her off, and then gave up the entire possession of her to a wretch named Browne, who abused her. The case excited much attention, and the poor girl was uni versally pitied and believed. The fellows were all sentenced to death.

He began his march with a powerful army, penetrated Boetia, and af terwards Peloponnesus, without the efforts of the Greeks being able to prevent him. He came and encamped in the plains of Napoli de Roman, at the moment when that fortress was about to surrender, in virtue of a previous capitulation. The Greek senate saw the whole extent of the danger which threatened the country, and took the most energetic measures. They judged it more useful to employ the body of troops which formed their guard to repulse the enemy, than to retreat with it to another position; they therefore caused it to march against the Musselmen, and retired on tures have been made in sight of the fortress, and they discharge much of their plunder on the wharf at Regla-if a guard happens to pass, he is silenced with a bribe. Things have arrived at such a pass that some strong measures must be adopted in self. defence-Havana must not be the home of pirates, if we can help it; it is the key of the Gulf, and a most valuable part of our coasting trade is subject to the depredations of the most abandoned of man. kind, who care not about committing murder, if it better suits the disposition they happen to be in. The sea was never before so infested by pirates as it now is. The U. S. ship Peacock has taken five piratical vessels, three of which she burn'; one had arrived at Havana, and the other had not yet been heard of, Twenty-five of the crews were made prisoners, the rest escaped to the shore and took to the woods. Two armed vessels, having five transports, with 1500 troops, under charge, lately left Havana for Porto Rico, where they have arrived, for the protection of the island, menaced by an expedition from St. Barts to revolutionize it, by a party of ad. venturers under general Henry William Decoudray Holstein-which, however, has failed; the vessel that had them on board having separated from two transports with troops, and being compelled to put into Curracoa, from having sprung a leak. board the vessels that blockaded Napoli de Romani. They caused the women and children to retire into the interior of the peninsula. They ordered, that all the corn and other provisions that had been stored in magazines should be carried to a safe place, with the greatest care, as well as all the cattle. They likewise ordered that the troops of all the neighboring cantons should go against the enemy, who, deprived of provisons, and harassed by continual skirmishes, would be obliged to march back to Corinth, hoping after the arrival of the fleet at Patras, to procure provisions and maintain himself with greater security in the for tress of Corinth; but that fortress had been strip. ped of every means of defence by the Greeks, who had need of cannon and munitions, in order to defend redoubts at other places. On the 25th and 26th, while the Turkish corps was on its march to Corinth, the Greeks attacked it with a firm resolu tion to conquer or die; they were victors. The result of the battle carries the number of enemies killed to 3,000-that of prisoners and wounded is not yet known. Two thousand horses, 150 camels, laden with baggage, all the munitions, all the materials of the enemy, and their military chests, have fallen into our possession. The valor that the Greeks displayed in this affair can be equalled only by the cowardice of the Turks, who disgraced them selves so far as to cry aman! aman! (mercy) let us fly!
