All went on well till the 13th of November, when one of the guards and two of the servants of the Lazaretto were seized, and in spite of every assistance, died on the 14th, 15th, and 16th. They caught the infection from their want of precaution; happily the passen gers from the vessel which brought the infection enjoy perfect health, in the separate building in which they were at first placed, and the infection has not passed the bounds within which the board of health had confined it. New military posts are placed, and every precaution taken to prevent communication between the infected and not infected part of the Lazaretto. Several guardships are stationed without. The danger is now more for the very few who are in the division of the very suspicious patients; but we may hope, with the aid of Heaven, that the various precautions which have been adopted, and are strictly enforced, will not be ineffectual even for these.
