CIRCULAR OF NJ. DRoUYN De L'uUyS
NJ. iJrouyn dc IHuy5 has addressed
circular to the diplomatic agents of France
abroad, in which he says:
In order to prevent the spcca,. OF cholera.
the Emperors Government has deemed it
matter OF urgent necessity to establish a
preliminary understanding with foreign
powers, and l propose Il conference. of
which delegates from the different States
would consult with scientific men consi-
uercd capable of throwing light on the de-
Hbcrations.
The object Of the conference would be
to discover the first causes of the cholera.
to ascertain the principal places in which
1t originates, and to study the charac-
tcristics of its progress. 1t would further
propose practical measures for combining
and supprcssing the cholera upon its first
appearance. NJ. Drouyn dc LIiuys in CON

improvements which have taken place in
