TURKISH IREJUD1CES MELTT&G.-A Cor

an interesting account of the manner in

TnE CHOLERA AMONG TIE ALLtEs.-
The accounts fom the seat Of war all agree
that the British and French troops in the
east have been suffering dreadrully from
the cholera. 1t is said that of 10000
French who formed the advance guard
into the Dobrutlscha. not less than / 700
fell victims to disease in about eight days,
and of $500 Bashi bazouks who accom-
panied the march, 1000 fell before the
pest lence. The loss Of the English was
not so great. but they also have suffered
severely. Tie allies console themselves
with the idea That the Russians have suffer.
ed still more than they. During the re.
treat toward the Pruth, the russians mum
bered Cd 900 sick. II is gratifying to
learn, by official announcement in The
Moniturc. that the cholera cases at Gal
lipoli and Varna are rapidly diminishing.
and that the sanatory state of the troops
is fast improving. Hahn Pacha had ad
dressed a most feeling communication 10
the inhabitants of Bucharest, calling up
on them to pay every attention to the sick
and wounded enemy, who had been left by
the Russians in their retreat from that
capital.
