We have not been able to obtain this afternoon
an exact bulletin of the Cholera, but the informa-
ton which has been gwen US, leads US to believe,
that there are fewer cases OF Cholera taken to
the Hospital this morning, the 5th April, than
the preceding day.
This day the attacks on persons suspected OF
poisoning have not been renewed The Pc.
lice has as yet discovered nothing which has CIV
en- cause to suspect that there is any ground tor
believing there have been actual cases Of poison
ing, but they are on the track OF the intrigues
which have been set on foot to make people be-
lieve in attempts Of this nature.
Placards have been this morning posted up in
all parts Of Paris, stating, that there has not been
any cases Of poison whatever; aud that all the
substances submitted to the examination OF the
most expert chemists, which were seized on the
person of individuals suspected OF poisoning, DO
not contain any poisonous matter.
There are certificates from Messrs. Orpla, Bar
ue and Besyeux, and one from Juha de Fotna.
nellie. member of the Sanitary Commission OF the
Medical School. which attest that the substances
submitted to them contained no poisons whatever.
However, such Is the irritation Of the public mind
at Paris, that these proofs are not considered SUI
fc,ent They accuse the physicians themselves
of poisoning the people. and it is therefore not to

physicians when they assure them that there have
been no cases Of poisoning. This state Of things
Is me more unfortunate as the lower classes con-
tinue to drink to excess and are thus prepared
10 become new victims to the Cholera. Iney are
I'm pressed with the idea that the Cholera has ne
yer existed, and it will be very difficult to make
item sensible of their error. Some fresh occur
rences have Just come to our knowledge, which
shew 10 what extent the evaporation OF the Popu-
lace is carried. This morning an individual hav-
Tag been surprised in crowd. stealing five-franc
piece fran the pocket of person standing near
him. cries Of ..drOwn himPoison," were imme-
diateiy heard. the unfortunate man was knocked
down; bull dog set upon him which tore his
breast. at last he was carried from the place de
Greui where the aff,r happened to the bridge OF
Arcole aud thrown into the river.
The iucreduIity as to the existence OF Choe-
ra. is not vet overcome. This circumstance ia
the cause that number OF sick are not carried
to the hospitals except when at the last extremi-
ty. and when all the efforts of art are useless
The news from the departments do not this day
bring accounts of any well authenticated cases Of
Cholera, except at Calais. where, It appears, the
disorder has shewn itself in spite Of the quaran-
tine regulations ;-whi!e it continues unknown at
Ha,re, Dieppe, and other seaports, where free
intercourse with Ensla has been permitted
