Hooghley River, Many houses were thrown down,
and great loss of property sustained. There were
fears entertained that it would injure the indigo
crop. The King of OunE's death, and the peaceable
accession of his eldest son, SOOJAH JAIL, to the
throne, took place in May, and were speedily commu-
nicated to the Governor-General in Council.

India has suffered greatly from cholera this season.
When the last mail departed the pestilence was
happily on the decline. At Kunachee 200 men in
her MAJESTY'S service, most of them Sepoys, have
fallen victims to it.

There is no news of any interest in the French
Journals received this morning.
Marshal GERARD has published an Order of the
Day, dated August 1, in which he communicates to
the National Guard of the Seine, the troops of the first
military division, and those of the division extra
muros, the following letter from the KING, dated
Neuilly, July 31 :
"My dear Marshal,—lf my lacerated heart could find
some consolation in the misfortune which overwhelms
me, it would be in the conduct yesterday of the Na-
tional Guard, the army, and the population. I take
pleasure in addressing myself to you, my dear Marshal,
in order to make known to all how deeply I am im-
pressed with it—to you, whose feelings of long date for
me and my beloved son, whose loss we weep, brought
you to the spot where this terrible blow assailed me.
My dear Marshal, your affectionate
" LOUIS PHILIPPE.'!

The number of persons who visited the cathedral of
Notre Dame on Sunday is estimated at 60,000. One
of the King's aides-de-camp, two colonels, and two
lieutenant-colonels from the National Guard and the
army, two officers of the same rank from the navy, and
two orderly officers of the King and Princes, are on
duty round the body, remaining stationary in turns at
the four corners of the catafalque, relieving each
other every six hours. The number of-visitors yes-
terday was certainly greater than on Sunday, and
they consisted generally of well-dressed persons.
The queue extended to the Quai aux Fleurs ; many
were in it from five to six hours before they could
reach the cathedral.

The Augsburg Gazette publishes a letter from Con-
stantinople, of July 13, containing the following :
" In consequence of the combat which took place, near
Bagdad, between the Turkish and Persian troops, the
Porte had given orders to all the disposable troops in
Syria to be directed ,to that point. Disturbances have
broken out at Sophia and Nissa, and a reinforcement is
considered necessary.
The Moniteur, of the 2d, publishes in its official part
the following note :
" His Excellency Lord Cowley, Ambassador of her
Majesty the Queen of Great Britain, presented to the
King, at a private audience yesterday at Neuilly, the
reply of her Majesty to the notification of the death of
the Prince Royal."
The Globe says it is authorised to declare that the
party in the Chamber of Deputies, of which M. Dufaure
and M. Passy are regarded as the leaders, will support
the Ministry during the present session, as to the Regency
question, whatever may be its course as to the questions
which may arise in the next session.
The Siecle says " that the Members of the Centre and
the Left Centre, being informed of the resolution adopted
at the meeting of the Tiers parti, to support M. Dufaure
as a candidate for the Presidency, have almost all sponta-
neously decided, that on the first ballot they would
give their votes to M. Odillon Barrot, and on the second
ballot, would unanimously give their votes to M.
Dufaure, in opposition to,the Ministerial candidate."
According to the Courrier Francais, a report is spread
that M. Dupin is to be appointed to draw up the report
on the project of law on the Regency, and to support it
in the debate ; and that M. Sauzet is designed for an
elevated post in the Cabinet.
