~ The next arrival will bring intelligence ofthe
fate of Rome. We presume the French army,
long since, have possessed themselves of the city.
We have little confidence in Italian professions

in the streets. Oudinot tells his army that their

THE CHOT.FR a.

It would seem that the Cholera was decreasing
ia Cincinnati and St. Louis. and increasing in
Philadelphia, New York, Albany, Buffalo, Mon
treal and Quebec. 1t will be remembered, that
the last named place was the first visited by the
disease in 1892. 1t is now the last. The cpl
demic commenced in New Orleans and has
spread, Northwardy, up the valley Of the Missis-
sippi. The Southern Atlantic Stateshave gener-
ally escaped. From Petersburg to Mobile we
have no reports Of the disease existing. We be-
Heve Charleston, S. c. was almost the only city,
of any size, which escaped the visitation of 1882
In Richmond, the Board, on Wednesday re-
ported but one new case. We are assured from
other sources that the disease is abatng.
In Norfolk, there still occur ten or dozen
deaths week from Cholera-generaly blacks.
St. Louis-The disease is declining, though
on the 18th there were 131 interments, of which
SO were from Cholera. On the 10Th, there were
only 80 interments, of which So were from Chol-
era. On the 18th, 81 deaths from Cholera.
Montreal.-The deaths on the 18th were 45
and much more numerous the next day. The dis
ease was increasing rapidly, in consequence of a
sudden change in the weather-the thermometer
sinking, after thunder storm, from so to 100 as
low. as 600.
The disease had gotten among the troops and
Lord Elgin would not permit them to leave the
city, though advised thereto by medical officers

Quebec and many of the first people Of the city
have fallen victims TO it.

Philadelphia. July 1.-THE Board reports 70
cases and 81 deaths.
New York, July 17.-103 new cases and 81
