THE YELLOW FEVER ON BOARD THE ATRATO.

Our Southampton correspondent, writing yester-
day, says :—" The health officer's boat returned at mid-
night from the Motherbank on Saturday, and brought
a report of three deaths, in connexion with the Atrato,
on board the lazarette hulk Menelaus—viz., the servant
of the captain of the Atrato, an infaid. and a sailor. The
monster West India steamer Parana, which has been lying
in Southampton Water for sale for some time past,hss been
fitted up with nearly 100 beds, and towed down to the
Motherbank to-day. The passengers, crew, and cargo on
board the Atrato will be transferred to the Parana, in order
that the former ship may be thoroughly disinfected. The
present regulations respecting the quarantine of West

1859, when the yellow fever last appeared in

The Debatte denies the statement contained in
various journals that the Servian government had
sent diplomatic agents to Vienna to induce the
Austrian government to support the demands ad-
dressed by Servia to the Porto for the withdrawal
of all Turkish garrisons from Servian fortresses.
" The Austrian cabinet," adds the Debatte, "has re-
ceived no recent communication of any kind from
the Servian government."
