The accounts of the whole dead on this side the river, in
little more than a fortnight, are 700. The poor inhabitants
know not what to do. If they rennin they die of the

Major Taylor's man of business collected to the unmet of
1,040 on this aide the river. If this statement ess be relied
on, the whole mortality within and without mast be truly
appalling ; and should it not please the LORD to stay the
hand of the destroying angel, the whole country will soon
be one wide waste.
Aram 13.—The pique has just entered our neighbour's
dwelling, where they have collected together nearly 30 per. sons not simply their own family. As if a spirit of Infa.

as small as possible, they seem to coogregate as many toge-
ther as they can.

reader of a similar scene in Lid Byron'. " Siege
of Corinth :"
" To.daj as I passed along iitrest woroliter of
dead bodies I saw lying unburied, mil the dogs eating with
avidity the loathsome food! Oh, it mak my very heart dolt.
The Number of the dead can now ha's'', hew sarattwined,

the math yet, amidst all this, the; LORD suffers not the
destroying angel to enter our dwelth6"
MAY 4.—The weather has for *re two or three days
past been beautifully floe and clear, sad hot, by which GOD
seems to have mitigated the sympowjes of the plague; all
accounts today are Improving, the at onber of mew eases few,
and the number of those recovering s*ny.
It appears by the calculatiiins made that full
two-thirds of the population ofthe city had fallen
victims to the plague. " Mdicine," says the
writer, " I have found of no use. If you attack
the poor, they die of prostratihn of strength ; if
you endeavour to support the cti)tution, they die
of bppression on the brain. se cases which
first affected the head with dellitium have been the
most fatal ; next those with carbuncles, which
did not appear for a fortnight aer the commence-
ment of the disease. Among dome who have re-
covered, almost the whole havtitad large glandu-
lar swellings, speedily suppurating, and thus re.
lieving the constitution." „.

FIELD MARSHAL DIEBITORHo-•.011e of the
last incidents in the MatshaVe-military career is
thus described by a Polish Off eitr who was made
prisoner at the battle of Ostrobpska, and brought
to the Russian camp :—" Wot Wed, surrounded
with enemies, and completely hovered from my
brothers in arms, two Russieh grenadiers ran
furiously up to me, but to my sitter astonishment,
instead of laying hands upon me, they began to
attack one another. I subseptintly learned the
cause of this strange ocentreni. It was this—
every Russian soldier who 4ptures a Polish
Officer, receives a military decoration, together
with a couple of ducats as his Mcompense. But
as neither of the combatants coin succeed in mak-
ing away with his opponent, ond consequently
neither could put in his claim to the reward, they
settled the dispute by agreeing to disencumber
tnemselves or we, and were, mint, on the point
of effecting their horrible purpose, when a beat of
drums called them off. As my good stars would
have it, I afterwards fell into less savage hands,
though I was doomed to be bound with cords and
hurried away to the foot of a sand bill, close upon
Ostrolenka. What was my surpri• eto find that I was
within some twenty yards of the Field Marshal and
his numerous staff, who were posted on the. top of
the eminence watching the slaughter which his co-
lumns were making among my fellow countrymen.
As soon as he perceived me he rode up,' and put
several questions to me in a cheerful and encourag-
ing tone of voice. I was afterwards treated with
much kindness, and was admitted next day to wit-
ness a scene of no little interest. Diebitsch came
with the whole of his staff at his heels to visit the
general hospital. One of his officers .bearing a
large silver dish, covered with. military insignia,
walked close behind him. I saw him distribute -
them among the uounded officers of his army, and
hang theta round their necks. It was evident a
'great stress was laid upon this outward mark psi

cer, a portion of xi we skull was shot away, *ad
who was gasping iht the agonies of death. A snore
