The 10th of _July_ that Patient dies, and his Sister falls sick; the Guard is doubled; and it being judged proper to carry both off; to do it the more quietly, and without alarming the People, it is delayed till Night; when at Eleven a Clock M. _Moustier_, another of the chief Sheriffs, repairs thither without Noise, sends for Servants from the Infirmaries, encourages them to go up into the House, and they having brought down the Dead and the Sick, he orders them to carry them in Litters without the Town to the Infirmaries, causes all Persons belonging to the House to be conducted thither likewise, accompanies them himself with Guards, that none might come near them, and then returns to see the Door of the House closed up with Mortar. The 11th Notice is given, that one _Boyal_ is fallen sick in the same Quarter of the Town, Physicians and Surgeons are sent to visit him; they declare he has the Plague, his House is instantly secured by Guards, and when Night is come M. _Moustier_ goes thither, sends for the Buriers of the Dead from the Infirmaries, and finding the Patient was newly dead, causes them to take the Corpse, accompanies it, sees it interred in Lime, and then returns to remove all the Persons of that House to the Infirmaries, and the Door to be closed up. The 12th all this is told to the Grand Prior, who still remains at _Marseilles_; the first President is writ to; the Intendants of Health are assembled, to cause all the Vessels come from the _Levant_, with foul Patents, to go back to the Island of _Jarre_, and all their Goods that remain in the Infirmaries to be removed thither likewise: M. _Audimar_, one of the Sheriffs, presided in their Assembly, to influence them to pass this Resolution. This, and the following Day, the Sheriffs make very strict Enquiry in the Town, to discover all Persons who had Communication with those Dead or Sick of the Plague; the most suspected are sent to the Infirmaries, and the others confined to their Houses. The 14th, they write an Account of what has passed to the Council of Marine; they resolve not to give any more Patents (or Certificates of Health) to any Vessel, till they can be sure the Distemper is over. The 15th, left from this Refusal to give Certificates of Health, it should be believed in foreign Countries that the plague is in _Marseilles_; and lest this should entirely interrupt all Commerce, they write to the Officers Conservators of Health at all the Ports of _Europe_, the real Fact; that is to say, That there are several Persons ill of the Contagion in the Infirmaries, but that it has not made any Progress in the City. The 21st of _July_, nothing of the Plague having since been discovered in the Town, they write it with Joy to the Council of Marine, and continue to provide whatever is necessary in the Infirmaries for the Subsistance of suspected Persons whom they have sent thither, and of those whom they have confined to their Houses.
