Loss OF L1FEsIS THE WAR.

Loss OF LIFE-IN THEeWAR. ~
According ethe Constantinople eor-
res ondeut of the London ISnteS, the
losses of life since the declaration of war
are the following: Turks, l30,000i
French, 10000; English, $4,000; Rus
slams at least 230.O00. Taking into ac-
count thesmortality on board the ships
of war and transports, and among the
laborers of different kinds attached to
the troops. and the losses of the Austrian
armies of occupation and observation, by
the diseases of last winter, it may be as
sunled that from 100000 to 100000
men have persisted or become sinFalids
since the commencement of the war, or
about as many as were carried off by the
cholera of IS3I-32, on its first appear
ance in Europe.
