panied by The Archdukcs Francis, Joseph, and
Albert, arrived al Presberg on the lllh ult and
on the 18th the Hungarian Diet was opened in
due form. Alter the Emperor's speech the royal

Official accounts from 81. Petersburg, dated
the l2!h ult., announce that The cholera had made
fresh progress al Moscow. From The 25th Of
October and lst OF November the number OF
cases daily increased, Gal persons having been
attacked during that period, 23S OF whom had
died. From the first appearance OF the malady
in that city up tothe lst of November, 1897 cases
occurred, 402 Of which proved fatal. The pa
tiens belonged for The most part 10 the lower or
ders. The cholera had totally ceased in the 60
vernmenl Ct AsIrakan, where il carried Of 3712
persons, and in that OF Koursk where 1887 died
out OF 1878 patients. AT Kazan there were 1924
cases, and 655 deaths. AT Kieifthe cholera was
likewise increasing in intensity. Since The 10Th
OF October 275 were attacked, and J. IL died. In
other governments the epidemy sill endured
The most western points il has yet reached are
the town Of AlexandroG in the government of
Kherson, and The district of Olgapol, in Podola
The latter are about thirty miles distant from
the Austrian frontiers. SO far. it has been gen.
orally remarked that lis duration is shortest in
the localities where lis intensity is greatest.
THE WAR IN SWITZERLAND.
The war 10 Switzerland is a, an en;,. We have
received letters from Lausanne Of the 20h ult.,
which state That on lhe previous day the canton
OF Valais had capitula'cd, aud tia! on the morn
ing OF The 29h the federal troops entered the Ter
ritory and took possession o! the canton without
opposition. The Canton OF Uli has also capilu-
lated; SO mat the war is every where pI! down,
and The SundeGburd is al an end
The note OF the Prussian Government: 10 the
Diet has created sensation in Berne, and fears
were entertained that it nigh, lead TO further
complications. The Journal des Debas appears
10 fear Cor 10 hope) that The consequence OF il will
be the Immediate occupation OF Neufchalel by
the federal army. We have no such apprehcn-
sions.
The Diet has Throughout, the whole of the war
shown decided wish not 10 push matters further
Than was absolutely necessary, and il is mol there
fore likely ha, il will allow itself TO fail into the
error of invading Nenfohalel, at the very time
when the European Powers offer heir united me-
dia,un. We cannot, however, help saying that
the note OF the Pfussian Government is 10 be
resielted-it is calculated To exasperate the peo-
pie of Switzerland, and cannot by any possibility
lead 10 any good.
