In Copenhagen, on the .4th, the number of new cases announced was 146; deaths,o7; or, from the commencement, 11,090 sick, of whom 3,119 have died. The Köln Zeit openly proclaims that the epidemic is the direct punishment of Heaven against the Danes for their resistawe to the German movement in the last four years. Private persons are still indefatigable in resisting the disease. Up wards of 1,009 persons have been removed from their filthy and close-packed rooms, and sheltered in tents and other buildings. Large distributions of food continue. Committees are taking care of the orphans and widows, fie., and the naked and miserable are relieved. 'Voluntary subscriptions are still pouring in. In Sweden the authorities are strict, even to absurdity, in attempting to prevent the spread of infection. In spite of the strict quarantine, the cho lera has broken out with virulence at Ystad, where. upon the men in office drew up a double cordon mnitaire —ono round each house "infected," and another round the whole town. The consequence is that the poorer classes are suffering dreadfully, pro. visions are rising daily in price. In fact, there will soon be a famine in the place. Of course a panic has seized the whole province, and makes matters ten times wore. THE PRESS. ITALY.

The accounts from Lisbon of the •2ml instant state that the House of Peers had thrown out, by 41 against 11. the bill of the Chamber of I)eputics which went to suppress the pension allowed the Count de Penatiel. The disease in the vines was fast spreading through the country. I:I'%;STA .INl► TURKEY. Telegraphic despatches revived early in the week. and almost simultanmatsly in London, Paris, and Vienna, announced that the Emperor of Russia had accepted the prt)positions transmitted from Vienna, and to which the four powetN haul given their adhe sion. The sense in which this intelligence must lee interpreted will be gathered from the explanatious given in Parliament by Lord Clarendon, and which we publish elsewhere. It seems that the actual draft of the propositions was not sent from Vienna till the 2nd inst., the very day of the reported "ac ceptance " by the Emperor in St. Petersburg ; but, a programme containing the outline of the arrange ments therein suggested lout been sent in advance, and elicited some expressions of approval which were tantamount to an aeceptation of the terms proposed. Another copy of the propositions was on the same day forwarded to Constantinople, so that the complete adoption of the plan waits for the express consent of the Porte, of which there seems to be little doubt. Though the precise terms of the arrangement. thus proposed, on which thee British Minister pre served so mysterious a silence in the house, are yet unknown, its leading features have transpired through the diplomatic correspondence received in Paris and Vienna. The Morning Post gives, in am authoritative form, the following particulars:— " The definitive project of settlement was sent from Vienna to Constantinople on the same day that it was sent to St. Petersburg—that is, on the '2nd inst. The acceptance of the Czar will be received at Vienna about the 1-Ith. This will, of course, at se 1w 111 . 1411bilielle . d to Constantinople, where it will arrive about the Vile. A Turkish ambassador will be ready then to start for St. Petersburg; and we understand that, as soon as the telegraph informs the Russian Govennncut of the fiat of thee ambassador being on his road, the. Emperor will tele graph his orders to Prince Gorbuffiaked tee evacuate the Danubian provinces. These telegraphs, living for the. most part old semaphores, will, of emirs., mint work with the same speed as the electric; but they and the course Of events will be sufficiently rapid tee warrant us in experting that by the lath met' September the last Russian soldier will have recrossed the Pritth." " The mode of settlement will be this Pacl►a will address to Count Xesselrab• a note, in which he will enclose the s,in which im aco►ded to the Greek Christians, subjects of the sultan, more pri►•ileges than even Russia had asked for them. He will say nuu►y civil things to the Czar, and assure him of the excellent disposition of the Sultan towardshis own snbjects, to whom he has accorded such and such rights. This mote will he presented by a Turkish ambassador, and the affair will be at an cud. " conclusion will thus be favourable to Turkey, be. cause she will have succeeded iu rejeeting the p►esrare of Russia for some kind of synallagmatie arrangement which odiould give the Czar a right of interference between the Sultan and his own subjects." This event deprives the news from Constantinople of nearly all its interest. The latest advises thence, dated the Ist inst., announce that the Sultan had issued a manifesto to his subjects. calling upon then► to place their entire confidence in the wisdom and sagacity of his Government. It is also stated that a new ultimatum had been auldressed by the l'orte to Russia. But this despatch left Constantinople many days before the propositions of the four powers would have been received there. Letters from Sebum's give a flourishing account of the state of the Turkish army on the frontier.

The right wing of this army had its quarters at. Silistria, and was composed of 80A0(1 men; whilst the rearguard, formed of a similar number of men, was eneamped at Altos. Sebum's has been rendered next to impregnable. This stronghold, which is well situated as a strategical point, and on aceount of the climate, contains already provisions for li:0,000 men and -10,000 horses for the term of two years. The fortress of Silistria has also been fully placed on • war footing. The celebrated Turkish financier, Naar. 'Whit, died suddenly on the 17th ult.
