The fever at Gibraltar continues unabated. On the 22d., the

official number of the sick was 1554, and the deaths 40.; but the belief is, that the number is much underrated in the bulletins. Two carts employed to convey the dead bodies beyond the barriers, ply from morning till evening. Symptoms of the fever are said to have appeared in the ships in the Bay. To aggravate the evil, there was a scarcity of water. The rains had begun to fall on the 2Ist October ; and encouraged a hope that they might check the fever, if they continued. Ferdinand of Spain continues his kind ness to the afflicted garrison ; and the British Government is shipping necessaries.
