FOREIGN NEWS.

Constant success seems to have attended the
Prussian and Italian arms up to the time of sus-
pension of hostilities for eight days .armis-
tice Austria, broken in spirit and disheart-
ened by food Of mis!ortunes, has formally
consented to withdraw from the German Con-
federation, to loose Fenetia and her part Of
schleswig Holstain, and to pay ten millions of
dollars as expenses of the war. Prussia is to
take the place of Austria as the controlling pow
err iu the German States Cd the north of the
Main, and the States SOUTH of the Main are to
form an independent union. But these terms,
although sufficiently humilating to Austria,
NAV not be acceptable to Prussia and Italy, al
though, at present, they seem to be satisfactory
to both those powers.
!. The cholera is increasing in England.
The u s. Consul at Antwerp, under date of
July Is, informs the State Department that the
cholera at that place is gradually on the in
crease The daily death list ranges from 60 to
95 The disease first made it's appearance ia
an emigrant vessel which was not ordered away
in time to prevent the Infection from reaching
the shore. The Consul advises a strict sur.
vellance to be kept over all vessels from that
point.
Our Consul in Spain writes that strict quar-
antine at Port Mahon has been ordered on all
American vessels bound for Spanish ports.

THE CHOLERA IN NEW YORK

The New York World of the 4th says
at is idle to disguise that the cholera is
rapidly and violently Increasing in this city
and assurances that such would not be the case
10 the past having proved aboraive, it is neces-
sary to look for still greater increase in the
coming weeks. The elimination of the disease
was in 1851 reached during the second week 10
August At that time the deaths per week, by
cholera alone, were two hundred aud 4erty- one,
while during the week ending yesterday the
number Of officially noted deaths was one hun
Gred aud twelve. Counting in the, doubtless,
large humber that have been really killed by
cholera without the notice Of the Board of
Health, the latter figure, with the addition will
be close approximation at least to that Of "a.
The large registry of forty ight cases since our
last report tells the fact that the tens Of thou
sands of the Needless unclean y, and intemper-
ate in our city are beginning to reap the fruits
Of their habits, and that the imminent deadli-
ness Of the cholera poison that decinated the
Continent in many sections, has lost not shit
Of its power this side the Atlantic. The
lessons Of care, courage, temperance, cleanliness,
and ventilation it teaches with such terrible en-
phasis, will he appreciated without enlargement,
and commend themselves to all the reflective.
The attitude of the city now is most praise,
worthy Stricken with an epidemic whose vic
tins chosen with instant severity and arbi-
trary, unanrounced design, New York exhibits
neithet apathy For panic, but seems to appre-
ciate and for that reason manfuliy to face, the
invisible danger. Among the intellgentthere
is no hegira, DO scare-neither Indifference nor
stolidity. That among the other class, whom,
unfortunately, though not unnaturally, the dis
ease seems wholly to select there appears to be
utter failure to appreciate and guard against the
danger, is matter less for surprise than regret.
The authorities look forward to a steady and
persistent battle with cholera until the cold
weather steps in, aud vetoes as it alone can, the
march Of the epidemic

the President Is officially Informed OF the organ

SUITS AGAINST DELINQUENT POSTMASTERS
IN TIE SOUTHERN STATEs.-The Sixth Audi
tor is still pressing the claims of the Govern
ment against p0stmasters in the Southern States
who have as yet failed to make returns of bal
ances due the United States at the commence
ment of the war. At the beginning of HOSTILE
ties In 1861 the amount due by postmasters in
the South was 100000, of which sum about
$4,000 has been collected, leaving equal
sum still! due. Many of the postmasters have
| voluntarily come forward and paid all up, while
others have been given time to settle, they hav-
ing shown willingness to do so if granted a
short season to procure the money as most of
| them have become impoverished through the
yicissitudes of war. The Post-office Depart nj nt
has thus far been lenient with all the dein-
quents, aud suits are only brought where the
right OF the Department to collect is denied,
aud decided refusal to pay up is given Isaac
Haas, postmaster at Woodstock, Va, buried his
account ard money at the breaking out Of the
war, and Kept them SO buried for five years,
when he unearthed them and promptly forwarded
them to the Post-office Department. The money,
unfortunately for the honest postmaster, Was in
Virginia bank notes, then at a discount which
he was compelled to make good in United States
notes.
Another instance is related Of the postmaster
at Washington; South Carolina, who buried his
money, which, in this case, happened to be in
gold and only brought it forth after the war
had closed. He promptly forwarded the amount
to the Department., and was allowed the pre-
MUM on the coin, as the law provides for re-
turns to be made 10 egal-tender United States
money-Nationat Intelhgencer.
