YELLOW FEVER.

For some days past much conversation has taken place on the subject of Yellow Fever. As usual, not only a diversity, but a contrariety of opinion prevails among the Physicians. While by some it is affirmed to exist in a very malignant form, by others its existence is altogether denied. The most correct conclusion appears to be that a fever bilious and malignant has been attended with fatal effects in a few cases. The progress of this disease is so insidious that any prophecy respecting its extension or destruction would seem to merit but little attention.
