New York City newspaper August 29

I believe this a copy of the August 29, 1793, Commercial Gazetteer published in New York City. If not, it is another New York newspaper. In it we see how New York quickly learned of the epidemic in Philadelphia, publishing not only the instructions of the Philadelphia College of Physicians but also private letters from Philadelphia. There is also a report of the fight in Cape-Francois, Haiti.

One of the private letters from Philadelphia discusses the supposed causes of the epidemic, the rotting coffee or a ship with sick passengers. That ship is described as coming from the "Streights" meaning, I think, the Straights of Gibraltar. Today, we assume that ships carrying the French or Creole refugees from the black uprising in Haiti must have brought yellow fever and the mosquitoes that spread it to Philadelphia.
