SICKNESS IN NEW-ORLEANS.
An extract of a Ittter from Neiv-Or-
leans dated tlie 2Sth of S'pt.
" It is with indescrible regret
that I am compelled to communi
cate the most distressing intelli
gence of the death of the Lady of
Governor Claiborne, and also of
her amiable little daughter.. They
both died on the evening of he 25th
ult. within a few hours of each o
ther. Mrs. Claiborne died of the
complicated disease which has so
long afflicted her. Miss Tennessee
unquestionably died of a most ma
lignant yellow-fever with which she
was sick about five daj's. They
were both buried the dav before
yesterday in he same grave, and
at the same time, amidst every ex
pression of the most universal
heart-felt sorrow of every class and
description of citizens.
wthe funeral Was attended by a
vast concourse of people, a nume
rous collection of ladies, which,
in the procession that wa formed
were preceded by all the magis
trates and public ftmrtipnaries of
the city, foreign officers and officers
of the United States, troops and
militia, all of whom seemed emu
lous 'of paving their last respect to
the memory of her who was univer
sally loved and esteemed, and of
evincing by every ceremonial of
grief their lamentation at. this
mo3t disstressing event. The loss
of the Governor is great indeed,
and his afflictions most severe, but
it gives me happiness to say that he
supports his situation with a forti
tude and equanimity of mind wor
thy of him. He has one consolation
in a superior degree, that no per
son who knew Mrs Claiborne for
a single hour, does not feel and
sympathize with him in this most
severe rnisforttine. Society here
is deeply sensible of the' irreparable
loss which it has sustained. I will
venture to say, that no woman
v. ;s ever in this country more high
ly beloved and respected, and no
one ever in her situation so much
the theme of universal euloium.
All who knew her were her friends
and she had not an enemy.
" You can scarcely have an idea
of the dreadful ravages which the
disease of this climate has made
here the present season. It is sup
posed that two-thirds of all those
who have arrived here the present
year have fallen victims. At pre
sent we are permitted to hope tbat
our calamities are at an end, as no
new cases have occurred for these
some days past."
