Norfolk Gazette And Publick Ledger

We regret to have to state the arrival of a vessel from St. Domingo at this port, on board of which are several persons ill of the yellow fever. It is some satisfaction and must be a source of confidence to the publick to reflect that altho' there were upwards of 50 cases last year in the hospital of our Lazaretto, that thro' the energy and vigilance of the board of health, and the officers of the establishment, we were as secure against the disease in this city as if it had not existed. The vessel to which we allude is the Nancy, capt. Leake, and arrived yesterday morning from the city of St. Domingo, she has on board 20 officers and soldiers labouring under battle wounds who it appears were taken out of the hospital at that city. Unfortunately for capt. Leake, he has lost one of his crew on the passage, with all the malignant appearances of yellow fever; and the capt. himself and another of the crew are both in a dangerous state of the disease. The cargo of the vessel is mahogany and logwood. There is a third person on board sick also. The sick have been landed and placed in clean, comfortable and airy apartments and the usual attention and tenderness of the institution will be bestowed on the unfortunates. A deputation from the board of health this morning visits the Lazaretto, and every care will be bestowed to effect the important ends of the institution, the preservation of the city from imported disease.

Aurora.
