We learn that Vegetables, Vinegar, Butter, are much wanted in Philadelphia, owing to the terror oc-cafioncd by the Fever, in that city, which fo frightens thd country people, tfcft none go to market, to the great dif-trefs of the remaining inhabitants. October 2. ExtraS of a letu from Philadelphia, to the Printers of this Paper, dated September 8. The papers muft have amply informed you of the melancholly fituation of this city for five or fix weeks paft Grave digging has been the only bufinefs carrying on and indeed I may fay of late Pit diging, where people are interred indifcriminatcly in three tiers of coffins. From the moft accurate obfervations can make upon matters I think I fpeak within bounds, when I fay eighten hundred perfons have pcrifhed (I do not fay all of the yellow fever) fince Us firft appearance on the of Auguft, in North Water-Street others think a larger number but I con-fefs we are a good deal in the dark on thefubject atpfefent, and it will take fome time to have accurate returns made.

People have been hitherto fo panic ftfuck, that little has been attended to but means of felf-prefervation gloom and melancholy is on every perfons' countenance nothing but the yellow fever is talked of; the ftreets ara ortenfeen without a pafferrger the wharves are deferted, the markets miferable and uncommonly high, and near one half of the citizens departed. This city is truly republican pomp and diftinction have in a great rheafure had Plato himfelf come among us to preach up the practice of true republicanifm, his lectures could not have had a greater effect upon the mihd9 of men than the prefent mortality. We make ufe of no other precaution, for avoiding the contagion, than not going into infected houfes keeping our own well aired, clean, and frequently having the wall white-wafhed. Conidering the general terror, I have more than once felt my pulfe, to difcover whether I-was really alive or not however I begin to hope we may ef-cape, as cool weather is fait approaching, and oiirltreet ia general healthy. Of all things, this yellow fever is moft infidtous its approaches are generally gradual a perfon imagines himfelf well when he is dying others lofetheufe ofreafo entirely, and die in that fituation.

With tbofe few that recover its effefts are long felt. It afts like a fteel-trap-r when once it gets hold of a perfon, it does not eafily let him go.

Mxii uci of a letter from Philadelphia to a gentleman in Baltimore, dated the 10th inflant. You requelt I would endeavor to give you a particular account of the itate of the city in general, and the rife and progrefs of the malignant fever now raging here. I believe it will be difficult prccifely to determine its origin but it is generally admitted to have been imported from Cape-Francois, in a vc'flcl which came to a wharf between Arch and Race-ftreet, becaufc the infection broke out in a houfe connected with that vciTel. The diforder overtook feveral families thereabouts. But moft people apprehended it to be the general fall-fever, which acted fe-verely 0:1 thofe who had the influenza fothat there was no material danger apprehended until the death of Peter Afhton, in Vine-ftreet, who after a fhort died about one month part after which the diforder was clearly dif-covered to be the putrid or yellow fever, and each perfon became afraid of his rieighbors, inibmuch that if any became fick they were avoided, and many fled from the fick, leavirrg thtm in a deftitute (ituation, perhaps fhut up in a koufe, and the neighbors alarmed, merchants and houfe-keepers moved into the country, and fear was damped on every countenance infirmnefs poffciled the hearts' of the people little bufinefs was done, except packing up engaging waggons to move goods into the country, and fearching for fheltcr for their families many families fet off without having a particular place to go to.

Thus the country became alarmed. Individuals died in the country but 1 cannot learn that it fpread there. The overfeers duty became exceedingly heavy, and feveral of them were taken fick others abandoned their ports, and the bufinefs bore very hard on the remaining few. Finding deaths increafing abundantly, they procured carpenters to make coarfe coffins by the dozen. The malady ftill increafing in Water, Front, Race and Vine-ftreet, threatened defolation in thofe quarters.

The overfeers, moved by the diftrefies of the helplefs, took poffeffion of Bufh-Hill manfion (it being empty) and erected a hofpi-tal, employed fome phyficians and nurfes, fent out fome accomodations, and provided for interring the dead. The overfeers became inadequate to the bufinefs, by reafon of fear few in number, and the funds exhaufted; added to this, the extravagant wages of the nurfes, two and three dollars per day moft of the magiftrates fled the houfe of employment and hofpital fhut their doors againft all indigent and indifpofed perfons. Thus were the people, who had leen private patients on the poor lift, abandoned and had no fheltering place, and thofe who were nightly indifpofed, were fent to Bufh-Hill, and became victims with many others. The inhabitants were rcquefted to meet by public adver-tifement, and a committee of 20 was appointed to take charge of the Bufh-Hill hofpital, and to relieve the diftref-fed in the city and its vicinity they became organized, negotiated a loan in the bank, two of the number voluntarily offered their fervice to fee the bufinefs at Bufh-Hill properly conducted; bedleads were procured, thehoufe cleanf-ed, matrons appointed and nurfes under their direction an apethecary, with medicine, and four phyficians to attend, once a day. "The remainder of the committee attend at the State-Houft, receive information from the committee at Bufh-Hill, and Aipply their demands receive all fheets, iliirts, at the State-Houfcfo keep a fupply of ready made coffins to fitrmm required.

Several carts are procured for the varipus purpofe of carrying out the fick whom the doctors pronounce to have the fever, of deposing the corps, and for carrying provifions and other ne-eefTarieB to and from the hofpital. There is alfo a houfe fitted up, and under the care of a matron, tobeforfheufe of thofe children whofe parents have died with the fever as all their relations and neighbours are fhy of them the governor has directed the State Treafury to be open for their ufe, and they to be accountable to him for their expenditures. The city feems quite folitary, and bufineft at a ftand deaths numerous, and no parade at the interment of any the bells do not ring, nor i there any invitation to the interment of any. I thinkabout looohave died fmce the diforder firft made its appearance, but it cannot be afcertained with precifion and we think between' ij and 20,000 removed from their habitations. "The doft'orsfuppofe the diforder a little checked by the cool weather; -how that is I know not," By a paffenger, arrived from Albany this morning, we learn, that in order to prevent the introduction of the Yellow Fever in Albany, they have formed Committees, and fixed a Gun-Boat at fome diftance from the city, where all veffels are ftopt till the Doctors examine the paffengers And, that Col.

Hamilton and lady were arrived, but were denied admittance into the city, and had takes lodgings at Mr. M'Gown's, at Green-Bufh September jo. ExtraH of a letter from a gentleman in Philadelphia, dated 26 tb injlant, to his friend in this city. Many of our veffels lay by for want of help to lade or unlade them. Such a time, or any thing Kke it, was never' known here.

Not lefs than one hundred died the 24th inft. or at leaft that number were then buried And, although there may have been fome abatement in the deaths fince, Ido not clearly feeit. Andfora moderate eftimate, I do fuppofe have died fince the 3d of Auguft to thU day, included the city. It ftill continues to be my intention to remain here, although the hand of death lies heavy in my neighborhood which till lately was remarkably clear three of my own family have been ill, but are recovering yet I do not fee my fafety in flight. I went yefterday to Germantown, and found it remarkably healthy.

Which, coiifidering the communication between us, is a great favor. I much defire your city may be alfo exempted from our affliaions and I hope vou will deferve to be fo. Owing to the heart-breaking fitnatibn of our inhabitants-, nothing is lefs thought of than the bufinefs We are net able to help, ourfelves, or fcarcelyone can -be found to help another in fieknefs." The following is a copy of a paragraph of a letter of a late date, late received from a perfon who moved out qf Philadelphia, to a friend in this city. The alarm in the country is fuch, where we refide, (which is about 10 miles from Philadelphia,) that we dare not fend a perfon to enquire about thofe we left. This road that died to have from 20 to 30 waggons going to market, has now but a folitary one.

This place was garrifoned by a party of the Freneb army of the Rhine (lately Cujline' s) and was inverted by the Pniffian army, under the Di'ke of Brunfwick. Previous to the capitulation, the French army (by order of the Commif-fionersof the National Convention) in three feveral columns, attacked the cordon of the Combined Armies, which covered the fiege in order to fuccour the garrifon but without effectthe Pruflians being apprifed of the attack, by a fpy who was taken in endeavoring to communicate the dciign into the city. The failure of this attempt, which jm the courfc of 14 hours was thrice repeated, and the preparations made by the Combined Army to ftorm the place, induced the garrifon con lifting of 11,000 men, to aapitulate on honorable terms.
