WESTWARD PROGRESS OF THE
Accounts from Maas, received yt dterc;'
horn, announce that on board the Fr.snch Government
steam-packet Mentor, which arrived at that island on
the 14th November, from Constantinople, Smyrna,
and the Pincus, the lieutenant second in command
had been attacked on the 16th with a disease of the
bowels, which being suspected to be cholera, the
steamer was ordered to seaon the 17th by the quaran-
tine authorities, and at the moment of getting under
weigh, the patient expired under circumstances which
left but little doubt of the identity of the disease.
Fifteen passengers, among whom was the Chevalier
Cordova (with his family), late
Spanish Minister at
the Sublime Porte, had fortunately for them been
already landed in the Lazzaretto, and were not of
course called upon to re-embark, _

The Board of Health had previously, on the Bth of
November, come to the following determination, in
anticipation of some such case :
As the cholera is now raging in several ports of
the Black Sea, and in other places, the committee
has come to a resolution to forbid the entrance into
port of all those vessels earning from places where the
cholera exists, which should have had cases of death
by cholera, or persons sick, within ten days of their
approaching this island, which vessels will remain
under sail outside the harbour for such period of time
as the committee may consider necessary, it being
well understood that such period can never be I?ss
than ten days frcm the day of the last case occurring
on board.

" The doctor of the quarantine department will go
alongside of such veqs.ls, to obtain the requisite in-
formation, which must be sent to the health committee.

" Vessels under such circumstances, on being ad-
mitted into the port of quarantine, must consume such
a period of time as the committee shall decide upon."
At, d on the 16th, in consequence of receiving ac-
counts from Lord Cowley, her Majesty's Charge
d'Affaires at the Sublime Porte, to the effect that
between the 24th of October and the Bth of Novein-
btr, notwithstanding the prevalence of cold (and
consequently favourable) weather, nine cases had
occurred at Constantkople (though in some of
them the medical men were not agreed as to
the positive nature of the disease), considered
it necessary as a matter of further precaution to ex-
tend the period of a quarantine from ports where the
cholera actually prevails to twelve days for passen-
gore (whether by merchant vessels, ships of war, or
steam-packets, and to fifteen days for goods of a sus-
ceptible nature ; these latter to undergo due depura-
ration in the Lazzaretto, a practice which had been
discontinued on the reduction of the Levant qua-
rantine.

A board of health was sitting on the 18th to con-
sider whether any further restrictions were called for
in consequence of the fatal case of the day preceding,
but up to the post hour no resolutions had been
come to.

If the present regulations are strictly acted up to,
some difficulty or inconvenience may arise in the
sending on the India mails by the Peninsular and
Oriental Company's steamers arriving at Malta from
Constantinople, should they chance to have had sick-
ness on board, for it will be next to impossible to
coal a steamer in the winter months, unless she be
admitted into port, a circumstance which we unier-
stand has been brought under the official notice of the
authorities by the company's agent at Malta, and
which, no doubt, was under discussion by the Board
of Health at its sitting above referred to.
On former occasions, St. Paul's Bay, some dis-
tance from Valetta, was destined to receive vessels
having sickness on board.
From Constantinople, under date of the Bth of
November, they write, that the cholera snakes no
progress, owing to the cold weather. There have
been only thirteen cases in many days, and only four
of them fatal. It does not appear that the disease
will be malignant. Accounts from I3agdad are con-
soling—the cholera has ceased in that city, and other
neighbouring places. Dr. Drotz, who has studied
this sickness on the spot, is convinced from experi-
ence that by the assistance of sanitary measures, to be
strictly observed, an end may be put to this scourge.
Trebisonde is entirely free from cholera; it has also
ceased within thirteen leagues of that city.
From Palermo accounts to the 22d October, men-
tion, that stringent regulations have been adopted by
the Board of Health of that city, respecting all ves.
sels coming from ports where the contagion has ma-
nifested itself.
