above data as to numbers attacked are from the
official reports; and 1 have no idea that thew
comprehend all who have fallen victims TO the
disease; for many sick have wished to conceal
the fact from the public authorities, fearing an
interference Of the Police. We have reason to
fear that the vessels which arrive herea ftcr will
be subject to great detention /; for nearly %, 1000
Russians, mostly laborers, have this week TAX

M. Cashier Perier sensible of the impossible
ity oil retaining place whilst he suffered The en-
emies OF freedom 10 prevail and being unwlll-
ing to plunge the country into war, sought the
middle course, and attempted to form an alli-
ance with our cabinet with reference to the con-
test in Poland, which would enable him TO die
tate to Russia without fearing the alternative
OF war. The urgency with which he pressed
this point and the sacrifices which he was ready
TO make on others, in order to accomplish this
object were known to us all along, ar. we have
now before us communication made by one of
ms colleagues to a friend. in which he says -
nc hesitation of the British cabinet TO assist
our views may be productive of calamitous re-
suits. IL may drive from office the present
moderate men, and introduce others who may
create storm in Europe which all its cabinets
would not be able to subdue" We hope we
shall never have TO regret the noncompliance
with the request; but this we are bound to say,
whatever might have been the sympathy of our
own ministers in favor of the Poles, there were
reasons of State prudence, which made il neces-
sary that the interference Of Great Britain
should be made on separate grounds.
Our later accounts state that, receipt of
the intelligence that the Dutch had entered
Belgium, Casimir Perier had consented to con.
tInue in office for the present, and, from the
subsequent debates in the Chamber of Depu.
ties, and other indications, it was supposed he
would maintain his ground, and remain prime
minister.
