The RAvAGEs OF THE CHOLERA AT SIAM in the
East Indies according to the last European papers,
are beyond measure dreadful About twenty thou
sand persons have fallen victims to it, So great
the number of deaths, that they found it inn
practicable TO burn them all, and many were bu-
ried and multitudes more thrown into the river Just
as they had died They were brought and laid in
piles and fuel applied, when they We're consumed
like heaps of logs In three days not less than from
two to three thousand died daily; and at the end of
twelve days it was known that more than twenty
thousand had fallen victims to its dreadful ravages.
Since that time it has very much abated, but has
by no means ceased Among those who have died
very few of the highest classes; however among
that small number Khan Khun Bodin, a noble
of high rank and great influence, man of age
and experience, who commander in chief of
his majesty forces in the late in Cochin China
The mortality il said to have been not SO great
among the inhabitants. IL is thought that, within
a radius of twenty five thirty miles, not less than
thirty thousand have been swept off by this fatal
scourge within two or three weeks. The cholera
and the smallpox always make dreadful ravages
in Siam.
