f° The welcome news of peace reached us at Fare
Sound en the-sth, and after collecting the different ships
of the squadron, they were all fairly under way towards
Kiel by Menday evening, but fogs, which are so pre-
valent at this time of the year, delayed them, and it was
the afternoon of the 10th before they had all reached
Kiel, the senior officer's ship (the Imperieuse) with the
exception of the Cuckoo (which arrived at 2 this morn:.
ing), bringing up the rear ; at daylight the Amphion,
the Falcon, and the Harrier left ; the Euryalus and the

children ; scarlat,na to 23 children, and one person more
advanced in life. The deaths from typhus and common
fever were 46, rather less than in previous weeks. There
were 13 from typhus in the east districts, and 6 in the
south. As regards hooping-cough the proportions were
different, fur there were 8 from that complaint in the
former division, and 23 in the latter. Five infants were
destroyed by syphilitic disease.
