REMOVAL OF QUARANTINE REsTRIo
TONS

Advices received at the State Department,
from the United States Consulate at Leghorn,
Italy, dated December 3lst, 1866, state that the
Quarantine which has been enforced against
all vessels coming from MarseiIles, Naples
ard other ports where cholera has prevailed.
was removed in the last week of December
and persons now wishing TO visit Rome can do
so without hlndrance, either by land or sea
The Consul also states that great pleasure was
given 10 the Americans at Leghorn on the both
of November, by the entrance into that port of
the U. :. steame1Frolic, of the Mediterranean
Squadron. For almost three years no vessel
belonging to the United States Navy had been
seen in those ports The arrival of this vessel
proved qualification also to the Italians whe
manifested considerable curiosity to behold
one OF the American vessels of war that had
been engaged in conquering the rebellion: and
the respect now paid to the American flag +
very gratifying to those who have reason to
feel proud of it.
