Philadelphia Burials.
The Fever in Philadelphia, by yesterday's papers, appears evidently on the decrease: the whole number of burials for the 24 hours preceding the 7th inst. amounted to 13.
Sept. 8, sixteen.-Sept. 9 and 10, SIXTY-EIGHT. From the last report of the mortality, we are unhappy in observing the increased malignancy of the Philad. fever :-And when we consider, that from the last accounts near 20,000 of the inhabitants have fled into the country, we cannot but feelingly lament the calamity, and condole with the inhabitants of that apparently devoted city.
From 10 o'clock on Sunday evening the 10th to 10 o'clock Monday evening the 11th, 23 adults and 2 children-total 25:
Proofs multiply daily, that the yellow fever is an imported disease; notwithstanding the opinion to the contrary'of many justly celebrated physicians. This fact has been ascertained at Providence, Bristol and Warren, Rhode-Island; where about fifteen persons have taken it from imported contagion; and the cause being removed, it has ceased immediately.
