from the correspondent Of the HERALD at the
English capital:-
LONDON. July 81, 1871.
There is a growing uneasiness in London
about the threatened coming of the cholera,
which has ragged for more than two years in
Russia.
The Russian authorities have hitherto with
held publication Of all accounts about the
ravages Of that disease. Letters from Cron-
stadt and st. Petersburg describe the progress
Of the cholera as alarming in the extreme.
In spite of the sanitary measures of the gov
ernment it is now steadily spreading, and has
advanced as far as the German frontier.
THE gHo%4EEA % N THE gA1Wo sl!al Rs R9grs
The German government has Quietly drawn
a sanitary Gordon along the borders of Russia,
in order to prevent the cholera from passing
the frontier. In spite Of these precautions the
disease has already made its appearance In all
the Baltic ports.
THREATENED SPREAD OF THE DISEASE,
It has also carried of many victims In
Poland, whence 1t threatens TO spread into
Prussia, Gallicia and Hungary.
ENGLAND ALARMED.
There are great apprehensions in England
that the cholera may advance, as 1t has
usually done, through Germany into Western
Europe, including the British Islands,
DIsNFECTINa THE BATrLEFIEIDs or FRANCE.
The dlsinfection of the fields Of battle In
France is progressing very slowly, and if the
disease spread rapidly it is believed that its
ravages in France will be terrible.
These fears are heightened by the present
indications that the cholera may como by sea
as well and the British government has pre-
scribed strict regulations for ships coming
from the Baltic ports.

The following despatch has been received
from our correspondent at the capital Of
Italy,
ROME, July 81, 1871.
There is great excitement in this city over
the vote Of the French Assembly regarding
the position Of the Pope. The refusal Of the
National Assembly to sanction the occupation
Of Rome, by referring the question Of the
temporal power of the Pope to the Minister
for Foreign Affairs, is considered tantamount
to hostility.
ANOTHRR FRENCH FUSION AGAINST ITALY.
1t Is said here that the clericals, the legti-
mists aud number Of so-called moderate re-
publioans, forming in all q majority in the
National Assembly, have combined to cause
the French government to interfere In favor
Of the temporal power OF the Papacy.
WAR WITH FRANCE PROBABLE.
Several journals In this city regard war
with France as probable and accuse the
Italian Ministry of being the plant tool Of the
French government and of having betrayed
the country.
The Gasetta Of this city says that the Italian
government should never have gone TO Rome,
but having gone there it must remain, come
what may--even though France should COM
binc with other Powers of Europe and inter-
fere by force OF arms for the purpose Of rein
stating the Pope in his temporalities.
