TUNIS.

TUNIS, SEPT. 27.—8: fore the arrival in this city
of Sidi Alahomed Benayet from England, France,
and Italy, which was on the 21st, many spoke of a
hostile demonstration which it was imminent that the
Sublime Porte would have made on this Regency ;
but everything is now settled. It seems that Benayet
had obtained, by mrrns of the French Republican
Government, an assurance on the part of the Porte
that this Regency would not be molested while the
present 13,--y remained in command.
It is said, for certain, that Benayet succeeded in
Paris in making a loan of 15 millions of francs, pay-
able in eglit years, giving as a security the property
of the I3ey.
' A Sardinian frigate is expected here bearing deco-
rations and the cordon of St. Maurice and Lazarus for
his ilightuss ; sent as a return for horses, lions, and
many precious objects sent to Victor Emmanuel.
Alter the arrival of the Tunisian steamer Minos

(the only one bt longing to the Bey) from Toulon and
MarseilleA, the two French men-of-war that wore
Stationed here since the Turkish fleet sailed from the
Dardanelles have left.

The cholera has ceased in all the Regency, and
commerce begins to prosper. The crop of pulse has
been abundant—that of olive very abundant.
It is hoped that in a few d.,tys the Bey gill permit
the exportation of grain. First quality of wheat, 64
piastres the edriso; second quality, 56 piastres. Oil,
from 15 to 18 piastres the mettar, according to quality.

THE CHOLERA AT TRIPOLI.

By an arrival from Tripoli we learn the following
particulars resprcting the cholera in that regency. It
appears that from the first the disease was of the most
aggravated character, attacking without any premo-
nitory symptoms, the attacked immediately dying;
while carrying burdens, the Arabs fell down and ex-
pired before any assistance could be rendered, and
unaccompani:d by external discharges or cramps ; a
deadly faintness seizing them suddenly. Such was
the universal fear that all who could fled from the
place—perhaps not more than from four to five
thousand remaining, and those of the most destitute
of the population. The Pacha had left with all the
troops. The European consuls also, with one or two
vxceptions. The difficulty was to discover where the
sick were to be fund, for you heard of them
only by the report of their death ; when
found they were generally averse to taking
tnedieine, and no reasoning could prevail upon them
to clean or purify their wretched dwellings. The
regret of any one who might be willing to render any
assistance arose from the almost utter inability to do
any or from the entire disorganization of the
count d the absence of all in authority, no sup-
irt could be obtained. So that whatever the Go-
v:rnment of Malta might have done, whatever medi-
cal assistance they might have sent, all their exer-
tions have been nullified by the anarchy and fright-
ful panic which reigned among all classes. It may
be thus far satisfactory to know how futile any effort
would have been to render assistance from thence.
The victims, as usual, were amongst the poorest class
of the inhabitants. In the country whole villages were
depopulated.
One curious fact., ascertained by an English tra-
veller, was a mortality among the dogs in the country
—numbers dying with vomiting, watery discharges,
and cramps, in fact cholera—which was preceded by a
dullness, less of appetite, and disinclination to any
exertion. In Misellata, about seventy miles from
Tripoli, there were somewhat more than twenty cases
of canine cholera, and also a great mortality among
the fowls—death being preceded by a yellowish dis-
charge from the mouth. It gratifies us to be able to
give praise, when it is merited so richly as in the per-
son of M. Ostia, the Spanish consul, who, from first
to last, did al in his power to alleviate the distress of
both natives and Europeans, distributing soup and
necessaries to the utmost of his means.
