The Earl of Clarendon has received a dispatch from Mr.
Turnbull, her Majesty's Consul at Marseilles, of which the
following is a copy

Marseilles, Oct. 19, 1853.
My Lord,—l have the honour of informing your Lord-
ship that, on account of the Quarantines established in
the Roman and Neapolitan ports on arrivals from England,
the steamers sailing from hence for Civita Vecchia and
Naples refuse to receive passengers coming from England,
and destined for those ports, unless it appears from the
visas on their passports that they have been 7 days out of
England previous to embarking ; this being necessary to
prevent the vessel being put into Quarantine at Civita
Vecchia or Naples, and to allow the travellers free admis-
sion in free pratique.—l have, &c.
(Signed) ALEX. TURNBULL.
To the Earl of Clarendon, K.G., Her Majesty's
Principal Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs.
