YELLOW FEVER IN LOUISIANA.

From the Opelous QLa.) Courier, Sept. 81
On Saturday last two deaths occurred OF yellow
fever in our sister town OF Washington. BY Monday
at twelve O'Clock M. nve more deaths had taken
place. There appears TO have been no deaths since
then. Among the victims are MISS CoreIl, daughter
Of MIR. BlaiZe Motto, niece OF Mr.. G. q. Ptre Mrs.
Mark Budden and Mrs. DelafOsse. Among the sick
are MR. N Onutt Mrs. Cooke, Mrs. Arthur X Launey,
Mrs. Guidry, child and TIE mother OF Mr. Dubuis-
son, a niece OF Mr.. Ranibert, Miss Morrogh, Mr.. B.
Motte a son OF Mr.. +. l.. Pitre and another
child OF Mr.. DubulssOn. On Thursday morning all
the sick were doing better, the most of them con-
valcscent. The physicians. we are happy to learn,
entertain the opinion that the fever Will have run s
course in SIX eight days Besides 1t appears that
1t readily yields 70 skilul treatment when taken In
ts early stage. The town OF Washington is almost
entirely deserted ana IL rs feared that the disease
VIII spread IN the country. However, we do not
know Of a single case OF yellow fever OUTSIDE or
Washington. This lever was brought to wash
ngton, IL Is said, by the emigrants who
recently arrived rom St. Domingo. None
OF them have been sick, bur 1t Is
thought that the germs Of the fever were
conveyed in their clothing, Just in the same manner
that 1t was brought there IN 1857
=. S.-Since the above was written we are reliably
informed that ten persons have the yellow fever at
Barry's Landing Mr.. Alexis Lague died OF II on
Thursday night. We have no sickness Ill our town.
ana it Is generally believed that the quarantine
which has been established here VIII protect us
from this terrible fever.

REPUBLICAN REPRESENTATIONS IN LONDON
TELEGRAM TO-. THE NEW YORK HERALD.

Meetings in Hyde Park ind st. Tnmes Hail.
The United states and England Compared
Kisses for the Queen.
LONDON. Sept. IL, 1870.
The London journals Of tomorrow VIII surely
belittle the really formidable popular
demonstrations which took place here to-day
in favor OF the French republic ana against
monrchy at home and abroad These denonstra.
tions were two in number, one In Hyde Park
and one ut st. James, Hail. At the meeting
In the open air, III Hyde Park, Professor
Beesley made speech vigorously denouncing the
imbecility Of the British government and charging
1t upon the Queen by name that she was encOurag-
ing the King OF Prussia to march upon Paris for the
purpose Of destroying the new-buy French repub-
lie. 'What the freemen Of America recognize and
applaud" said Professor Beesley, 'the aristocracy
Of England support a Queen who deserts her
post in aiding to stine and suppress" The name of
the Queen was received with q tempest of Kisses.
When these subsidized, voice In the crowd called
out "Tnree grOans for the Prince Of Wales.n The
response was universal and passionate. The aspect
Of the crowd at the time was really appalling.
In the meeting at st. James Hall, which was
crowded by persons Of better class than the gath
erlng in Hyde Park, strong resolutions were adopted
denouiclng the inconsistency Of the Prussian ad-
vance upon Paris with the solemn proclamation OF
the Crown Prince In August that Prussia made war
not upon the French people, but upon the
Emperor Napoleon Professor Beesley spoke at
this meeting also, saying that England
desired dismembetment of France, and
that If the English government were honest
1t would be SO at once and plainly to the King of
Prussia. "The English government" said Professor
Beesby sis hostile both openly and secretly to
France not because it loves Germany but because
it hates republIcanism and fears 1t. To uphold the
present course OF Prussia is to uphold despotisn in
Germany as well as in France The government OF
England had not recognized the republic In Frances
but the day was at hand when the French republic
would be called to recognize the republic IN
England.n
Mr. Odger read at this meeting an address from
the democrats of London to the French republicans
which was adopted by accamation. The feel.
ing in this city against the government and the
royal family Is extremely bitter only among The
avowedy democratic classes but throughout the
ranks OF society. The impression which has been
made by the Times and other papers Of the same
standing that the foreign policy Of the government
has been dtcated by the personal prejudices the
Queen and the interests OF her family has produced
most dangerous and general indignation.

issued by General Trochu to level all the woods IN
