CHOLERA.
Washington, August The following dis
| patches have been received by the Secretary
of State:
U. S. Consulate, Antwerp, July 18, 1866
TO. Hon. VIM. Fl. Seward, Secretary of
State-Sir: Since my last report upon the
subject of the cholera, it has been gradually
on the increase. The daily death list, as
shown by the city papers for the last ten days,
has ranged from sixty to ninety-five. The
disease first made its appearance in this port
on board an emigrant ship, which left during
my absence at Tangier.
AS soon as it became known to the city an-
thorites that this disease was cholera, the
| vessel was ordered out of port, but not until
too late to prevent the infection from reaching
shore. The prevailing type of the disease
here is malignant, In many instances carrying
off the patient in two or three hours. Its
| favorite habitation thus far has been the docks
and wharves of the city. A strict surveillance
should be kept over all vessels from this port
| Very respectfully your obedient servant,
JonN WILSON, U. S. Consul.
TINE UNIVERSAL EXPOSITION.
The grave events which are passing in Eu-
rope may have caused fear that the Univer-
sal Exposition of 1865 would be retarded in
France, but Secretary Seward is informed by
the French Legation that no relaxation has
been manifested in the labors of the commit
tees on admissions, and that exhibitors con-
tinue their preparations, and the buildings in
the Champs de Mars are carried on with ac-
tivity; in word, everything induces the an
ticipation that the exposition will be COM
pletely ready by the lst of April, 1867.

Department plate used in printing counter
