THE CHOLERA AT ST. PETERSBURGII.

We have received the Hamburg Reporter and
other Papers of Friday last. Their contents are
exceedingly important. Treason, on a large scale,
has been discovered in Warsaw ;—the cholera
morbus has visited St. Petersburg!) ! and the
Grand Duke CONSTANTINE died (or more probably
was poisoned) at Witepsk !
If we may credit the accounts in these Papers,
the Poles have been defeated at Wilna; but we have
our doubts.

St. Petersburgh was in dreadful consternation at
the cholera, and the EMPEROR fled to his Palace of
Peterhof, a short distance from the capital. The
whole of these accounts are so long and interest-
ing, that we have no space or time for comments.
We hope the cholera will incline NICHOLAS to mercy
in favour of the Poles :

(From the Haniturg Reporter of Friday, July 8.)
Extract of a letter received, July Bth, by his Bri-
tannic Majesty's Consul-General at Hamburg, from an
English gentleman, who is a passenger from St. Peters-
burg on board the steam boat Nicholas L, now under
quarantine.

"I am happy to acquaint you that up to the moment of
my leaving St. Petersburgh (at 51 o'clock on Friday last
the Ist July) no distinguished foreigner had fallen a victim
to the cholera. A few minutes before my departure I had
the honour of seeing Lord Heytesbury, the Ambassadors
of Holland, Naples, Sardinia, and the Congo; of the
United States, together with the Attaches to the
English Legation, Messrs. Magennis and Cramp-
ton, and the private Secretary of Lord Heytes-
bury, Mr. llixter, and all these gentlemen were in the
enjoyment of good health. Shortly before my departure,
too, I think I may state that I saw every B itish met-
chant of note i❑ St. Petersburgh, and that they were then
in the enjoyment, each and all, of excellent health.
Should you know any of the families or relatives of these
gentlemen at Hamburg, it may be a satisfaction to them
to learn so much.

" Drs. Rus,ell and Barry were also well. I may say
that perhaps 56 to 60 individual, had died of the cholera
during the last week of my stay at St. Petersburgh."
The above agrees with several other private letters.
Drs. Russell and Barry, according to one letter, have re-
cognised in the sickness which has made its appearance
in St. retersburgh all the symptoms of the genuine Indian
cholera.

Respecting the progress of events in Poland our ai.

toe nts lave for souse days been exceedingly meagre; and
of the operation of the Lithuanian armies, we know
othin7, except through the channel of the Berlin papers.
These have 'or some tine: past been filled with accounts ref
the t rtsl riot of Gie'eul and Chrapowski's corps, but
rheir :recounts are evidently exaggerated, and we must
wait till we see the Polish statement, when a reasonable ba-
lance may be struck between the two. The Prussian State
Gazette of Wednesday contained a private letter from the
Russian head-quarters at Pultusk, dated the 2Sth June,
from which it would appear that Gielgud had made an at-
tempt to force the Russian position in front of and
having failed, had retired to Kowno, about fifteen German
miles Irons Wilna. The Russians pretend to have taken
600 prisoners, but there is no mention of any loss of ar-
tillery or material on either side. The Poles took two
pieces of artil!ery in the course of the battle, (which was
!yid. ntly of a sanguinary character), hut were not able to
keep them.
The Senate of Lubec'; have come to a resolution that
the Nichohts L, steamer, shall not be allowed to hold
quarantine there, but shall immediately quit the harbour.
. Ru,sian courier with despatches was on hoard. The
vessel, we presume, must either return to St. Petersburgh
ir repair to Kanso on the coast of Norway, where a qna-
rantine station has been organised fir vess Is arriving from
infected parts.
The report that the Due de Montemart was on board the
.team-hoet turns out to he incorrect.

The cornier on board has not been allowed to land, but
his despatches have been taken on share to be fumigated,
previously to their being forwarded to London.
LUBECK, JULY 6.—The Nicolas 1., steamer, arrived
feem St. Petersburgh this morning, and brings the afflict-
ing intekigence that the cholera mortals has now extended
its ravages to that capital likewise. On the 26th June
the malady made its first appearance there, and during the
iirat five days twenty-six eases of sickness occurred. The
r.pidemic appears, however, to have manifested itself in a
mild form. On the Ist July, at seven o'clock in the
evening, sixty-seven passengers went on board the
Nicolas 1., which was then lying in the Cronstadt
roads. No goods were received on board ; but, accord-
ing to the arders he bad received, the Captain waited
till the next evening for the Petersburgh mail. At nine
o'clock, the Captain yielded to the urgent request of all
the passengers, and weighed anchor. In Cronatadt, on
the Ist inst., two persons died of cholera, and on the 2,1
there were from six to eight fresh cases there. As the steamer
was leaving the reads, saw two ves'•els driving out to sea,
with the qu trantine flag half-mast high, as a signal that
there Wtre sick on board. The crew and passengers
of the steamer are all in perfect health.—The population
of Sr. Petersburgh a•as in a state of complete consterna-
tion, and the imperial family was gone, for greater safety,
to Petershoff.—On the 27th of June positive intelligence
was received at St. Petersburgh, of the death of the Grand
Duke Constantine, at W.t,p k.—Among the passengers
on board the steamer, is the Due de Mortetnart, the
French Ambassador to the Russian Court. His Excel.
lency is said to be very much annoyed and surprised by
the delay to which our measures of precaution are likely
to subject him.

Fitly cargoes of corn, film Russian ports, and destined
for the Russian army, were lately performing quarantine
at Dantzic. After the expiration of a short delay, orders
were received from Berlin to allow the corn to be unloaded
and sent up the Vistula, which was accordingly done, in
spite of the most urgent remonstrances of the inhabitant..
A Medical Council, at. forty physicians were pre-
sent, was held in St. Petersburgh lately. Thirty eight of
them declared it to be their opinion that the cholera was
contagious, and only two maintained the contrary.
To our fair readers it may not he uninteresting to be
infonned, that the cholera m,rbus is much more civil in
its treatment of women than of men. Of the 403 persons
attacked in Dantzic previously to the 25th tilt., 306 were
male., and 97 females : and of the 288 that died, 235
were males, and only 33 females.
In Riga, on the 22d ult., 'there were 99 fresh cases,
and 30 deaths ; on the 23d, 113 fresh cases, and 36
deaths; on the 24th, 103 fresh cases, and 22 deaths: on
the 25th, 89 fresh cars, and 38 deaths, On the morning
of the 26th, 481 persons remained on the sick lists.
In Mittau from the 18th May till the sth June, 186
persons were attacked by cholera, of whom 36 recovered,
and 106 died.

In Jassey, in Moldavia, the cholera morbus appears to
rage to a fearful extent. Ninety-five individuals died nn
the 10th ult., 125 on the 11th, and 145 on the 12th.
Our latest intelligence thence reaches to the 17th ult., on
which day the daily mortality was still on the increase,
having a!re sdy retched an average of 300. The Molda-
vian autism ities had urged the inhabitants to repair to the
country, and the whole population, accordingly, appeared
to be twining from the city.
In Lemberg, in the course of eleven d sys (from the 12th
to the 23d of June) there were 1,299 fresh cases of
cholera; 311 had recovered, and 600 died. Front the
2d of May till the 23d of June, 2,345 persons had been
attacked, of %%horn 1,140 had died. No attempt appears
to have been made to arrest the progress of the malady by
police regulations.
According to the Berlin Papers, the cholera has found
its way into Cracow, were it rages more particularly in the
quarter inhabited by the Jews.
'We learn from Berlin that from the Ist July no physi-
cian or surgeon was to be allowed to pass through Prus-
sia to go to Poland.

The Konigsberg Gazette has a cock and a bull story
of 28 Polish deserters, from different regiments, whose
vocation does not seem to have been to take lions by the
heard. They were tired of fighting, and so somzht refuge
in Prussia. The number is nut very considerable, and it
speaks much in favour of the Polish army, if any adJitional
testimony were necessary, that so much fuss is made about
28 stragglers, among whom, moreover, we are told there
were reveral Germans and Lithuanians.
Bottstcst • ALLE, FOUR O'CLOCK.-The arrivals of wheat
continue unimportant, but fully equal to the demand.
Toe purchasers are chiefly our own consumers, but a few
cargoes have been shipped for France.
Fur Rye there is little demand. The same remark ap- *f,
plies to Barley. Of both species of grain there have of
late been several auctions. The market in general is
heavy.

During the last six days of June, 198 cargoes of corn
passed the Sound ; of these, 83 were bound for British,
47 for Dutch, and 31 for Swedish, Danish, and Norwe-
gian ports ; 11 were bound for Bremen, 1 for Havre, 1
for Anclam, 1 for Emden, I for Antwerp, and of 23 the
destination was unknown.

BERLIN, JULY 6.—The Prussian State Gazette of this
date contains a long article dated from the Russian head-
quart rs, Pultusk, June 28, giving an official and detailed
,coount of the total defeat of the united forces of Generals
Gielgud and Chrapowski, in an attack on the Russian
troops posted at and round Wilna, consisting of the
division of General Bat 011 Von Sacken, reinforced
by some regiments of the Guards, under the command of
General gaol, Kuruta. The rebels being entirely foiled
by the dreadful fire of the artillery in their attempt to
cars} the heights, were compelled to retreat, and were
pursued by the Russian cavalry. Gen. Kuruta, who had re
served part oldie Imperial Guard to cover the be4lits, which
are so important fur the defence of Wilna, now ordered the
cavalry of the gu'ard and the Lithuanian regiments to
attack, which they did with such impetuosity that the
enemy could not destroy the bridge over the Wilna. The
enemy being driven across the river and flying in conster-
nation on the road to Kamen, General Kuruta ordered
the libt cavalry to pursue, which be was induced
