CHOLERA IN ENGLAND & FRANCE
The cholera has again appeared in
England; several cases have occurred in
Manchester and other parts of the country.
At Paris the cholera is making the most
frightful havoc-even more so than in
1887. Upwards of 1900 deaths have
already occurred, and in one day there
were 900 cases and 600 deaths reported.
Marshall Bugeaud and many other per-
sons of eminence have fallen before the
scourge.
1t has broken out anew in Silesia, Wen
ma and Presburg, and is raging most fear
fully at Alexandria and Cairo in Egypt.
ENGLAND.
The British government repudiates all
cognizance or sanction of the proceedings
of the French in their treatment of the Ro-
mans.
Smith O'Brien, through his counsel, de-
nies the legality of the commutation of his
sentence of death to transportation, and
the government have to provide for this
unlocked for difficulty by special act of
Parliament.
Different and apparently reliable state
ments are made from parts of Ireland to
the effect that the potato rot has made its
appearance in some instances, but gener-
ally the vines look vigorous.
The weather is represented as continu-
ing very favorable, and the crops in near
ly ell parts of England and Ireland are
said to look unusually promising.
In the debate in Parliament upon the
Canadian losses bill, Mr.. Gladstone inter-
posed a most furious opposition to the
measure, and his remarks are said to have
made marked impression in the House.
After passing warm tributes to the talents
of Lord Elgin and the spirit of his admin
istration, he avowed that it would be the
duty of the government to leave this act in
operation, trusting thatits opponents, whom
he believed loyal men, would, when the
present excitement was over, endeavor to
arrest its evil consequences.
Lord John Russell complained of the
tendency of Mr.. Gladstone's speech. He
denied that the sense of the Canadian peo-
pie had been pronounced in favor Of the
measure. He did not ask the Government
to disallow the act, but for an assurance
that under the act, rebels should not be
compensated, but that that party should
produce reasons, prima facie evidence,
before receiving any public money, that
they had not taken part in the rebellion.
Lord John was followed by several 9TH
er speakers, and after ws rm discussion,
a division was taken upon the question,
that the debate should be postponed to the
| 9Th inst.

whose number amounted to 10000. Sew
eral attempts were made to erect barri-
cades. In the evening, the Assembly de-
clared itself en- permanence, and passed
decree declaring Paris in state of siege.
On Thursday the alarm had considera-
bly, subsidized, and business, which was en-.
irely suspended the day previous, was
generally resumed.
AT one time the peril was imminent, and
nothing but the courage and prudence of
he President, aided by firmness and sa-
yacity, prevented the most serious conse-
Iuences.
Numerous arrests have taken place. in
,luding several members of the Assembly,
NJ. Arago and Ledru Rollin being among

The last accounts report a state oftran-
utility, but there was an uneasy feeling
float that a renewed attempt would be
made to upset the Government and that
1hen it comes to the point, the troops will
lot be steady.
The city of Rheims is reported to be in

ITALY.
From Rome we learn that the French
lmy commenced an attack on the 3Oth I
f May, and after a sanguinary engage
ient, in which the Romans lost 800 men,
ucceeded in carrying several important
OstS.
A series of attacks have since taken
lace, in which the victory is variously
tated, but in which the invading army has 1
Uttered most. /
The French presses publish conflicting
eports of the operation of the army, but
'om accounts received to the 9Th ult., it t
J clear that Gen. Oudinot had not then I
aimed access to the city, though he had
aimed position at the north of Rome,
,hich enabled him to command the city.
