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 committee have as often examined and reported that such apprehensions were groundless. 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 disease is contagious. The truth seems to be, diseases of a putrid and malignant nature, have prevailed in the United States for three or four years past more than was formerly the case. The Scarletina Anginosa, or scarlet fever has been in various parts of the Country, with every variety of symptoms, from a mild catarrhal complaint, with some fever and little discoloration of the skin (as it appeared in the writer's family) to a most malignant putrid sore throat. In Wethersfield in Connecticut, a putrid fever raged last summer, which answered the disease formerly called the long or slow fever-the patient lying ill for 30 or 40 days. In some towns the dysentery has been unusually obstinate and fatal. In New-Haven at this time there is a putrid fever of a most fatal kind, and in its symptoms resembling the fatal fever of Philadelphia; but it is confined to few people. A putrid fever is now found in various northern parts of this state. From all these facts, we may safely pronounce, with Dr. Rush, that the Yellow Fever in Philadelphia and all the putrid fevers in various parts of the country are generated in the United States.
