The 27th he sends this Ordinance to be published in the Territory, and with it a circular Letter to all the Parish-Priests, Captains and Commissaries of the Quarters, for their more ample Instruction. The 28th two other Vessels laden with the rest of the Bread-Corn given by his Holiness, arrive at _Toulon_: The Bishop comes to the Town-house, to concert with M. _de Langeron_ and the Sheriffs, the Means of getting it brought to this City, whither those Vessels will not come because of the Contagion. The 29th, the Difficulty made by the Masters of Vessels of _Languedoc_, to come laden with Provisions to the Port of _Frioul_ in the Island of _Roteneau_, one of the Isles of _Marseilles_, whither the Barrier is removed from _Lestaque_, because after they have unladen at that Island, no Ballast is to be had there, without which they cannot sail empty, and return to their own Ports; this Difficulty, I say, obliges M. _de Langeron_ and the Sheriffs to send for the Regulators of the Fishermen to the Town-house, and order them to see that no Boat goes out to fish, till it has first carried a lading of Ballast to that Isle of _Roteneau_. The 30th the Chevalier _Rose_ undertakes for the Execution of this Order; and he succeeds so well in it, that all the Ballast necessary for all the Vessels which may come to that Island, is presently carried thither. The First of _December_ the Hospital of the _Rive-Neuve_, governed and directed by the Chevalier _Rose_, being become useless, the few Sick remaining in it are removed to that of _la Charité_, and the other is entirely shut up: M. _Boyer de Paradis_, one of the Physicians who came from _Paris_ by Order of his Royal Highness, served in it with all the Ardour and Zeal, that the Love of his native Country could inspire. From the second to the fifth, Assemblies are held, to settle all the Dispositions and all the Measures necessary for purifying and dis-infecting all the Houses of the City in which the Contagion has been: A tedious Work, which to be very minutely performed, must be as laborious as it is nice and important. The 6th, the grand Infirmaries having been for some time purified, M. _Michel_, a Physician of the Faculty of _Marseilles_, who had been shut up in them from the beginning of the Contagion, comes out with the Surgeons he had with him; he served with a Zeal, Firmness, and Success, which make him admired by all. The 7th, the Intendants of Health assemble at the Town-house, in the Presence of M. _de Langeron_ and the Sheriffs, to deliberate about purifying all the Vessels that are in the Port, who had taken in their Cargoes before the Plague broke out; these Intendants (those of them who had absented being come back long since) do their Duty so well, that tho' they are obliged to serve only by Turns, they generally all act together, hardly any one excusing himself.
