Extract of a letter from an American gentleman, who left Cadiz on the first of October.

"It was impossible to say when the vessels would sail, owing to the fever, which raged in an alarming degree, in Cadiz. There was no business doing—the merchants having chiefly left the city, and the governor having stopped all communication with the adjacent ports, it being generally supposed that they had the fever worse than in Cadiz. The deaths before I left that place, were computed at ten thousand in two months. Although the fever raged so much in Cadiz no one American was sick the whole time of my stay there, which was about ten weeks."
