CHOLERA IN THE EAsr.-Tne Berlin CORES
pondent OF the London Times, writing on septem
Der I'd, says
According to all accounts the cholera il working
its deadly task actively at Bomnrsund a. at Var
ma. Some accounts mention thar the French have
already lost 600 men on Aland. Other accounts
mention loss offrom thirty TO forty daily, without
saying whether this includes the deaths on board
the fleets One Of the results of the presence of
the cholera at Aand is, that the authorities at Dant
zic (and it is to be presumed, those of the other
Baltic ports will soon follow their example) have
ordained that all vessels coming from those waters
shall perform quarantine, unless more than DAYS
from there, and with no sick on board. This ar
raneement will materially interfere with the con
venience OF getting Goals and provlsions on board
the vessels that arrive there for that DUR
pose from the combined fleets.
