 By tho politeDess ofthe gentlemen of the wardroom am enabled to write you this evening. We arrived at this place in thirty-six hours frou Havana. We expected to have remained here days hat on ac. coant ofths epdemcs which prevail. shall leave on Wednesday. We are now lying about mile and half from the city. Matanzas appears to be almos. deserted. The cholera prevails to m alarming degree -i, is principally confined to the blacks. The yellow Fever also rages here. A s reported that one in ten ofthe whole population has been swep, away by the combiaed ravages of,hese terrific maadies. I can- mol believe that the mortality has been great.

The cholera has appeared in each of fihese paces-but the officers and crew of our vessel haze hitherto escaped the pes.Ience.'
