THE CHOLERA IN EGYPT.

A correapondentof the Journal de Geneve, writing
from Alexandria on the 19th July, says :
You ask me for news of the cholera. It is getting on
pretty well, though somewhat dimisished by its
excesses. For more than • month the epidemic
has ravaged Alexandria in • terrible and un-
usual manner, and • thorough panic has seized upon
the population. As early as the 14th Juoe, the Viceroy, in
bin position as chief of the State. set the example of Bight,
by suddenly quitting Alexandria and Egypt with his
harem, is a vessel hastily engaged, and which set out for
the open sea without any more settled purpose than that of
Bight. Since then he has been to the island of Ohio, and
afterwards to Constantinople. This precipitate departure
spread terror among the population of Alexandria. All the
more important preemie at once imitated the Viceroy ; they
engaged vessels for themselves and their families. The less
wealthy rushed to the steamers, which left in all
directions ; the others embarked upon numberless sailing
ships; everyone ran away, no matter how, no matter
where. The employa and the artisans sold their
watches, their cloths% to pay their passage; the
dealers nailed up the doors of their shops with plinths, and
abandoned their interests and their goods. The number
of passports obtained at the consulates is estimated at
60,000. It was no longer a flight, it was • panic of terror.
Doctors have deserted their posts ; priests have abandoned
the church, leaving to the dead the task of making their
way to the other world without their 111111ilt&LICAL In •
word the clearing out has been complete, and there
is no ins awe of a similar dishy of cowardice.
On account of the closed, nailed up, and abandoned *hope,
the following circular has been issued by the sanitary super.
intendent to the various consulates :—" Among the large
number of persons of all classes and professions who have
for some time abandoned this country, there are many
laccas (dealers in provisions of all kinds). In the hurry of
Itheir departure several have contented themselves with
securely closing their shops, leaving behind their stuck,
the greater part of which is of • nature to
be liable to speedy decomposition. In consequence of
this, the shops containing the said dares, which, it must
be supposed, are now decomposed, disseminate • stench
which is very disagreeable to the neighbours and very ioju.
Timis to the public health. Ignorant of the nationality of
. these dealers, I beg of you in the interests of the public
health to authorise the polies to open, in cam of necessity,
the shops which occasionthe most complaint from the neigh.
boors, and especially those from which the roost stench
issues, so that steps may be taken to remove the causes
of this nuisance."
