THE CHOLERAIE EUROPE,

The movement of cholera in Genital Eu.
rope since the beginning OF the year ap-
pears 10 have been confined to the northern
and eastern provinces of the Austrian En-
pire. At the commencement of the wear
the disease existed IN numerous localities
of Gaicis, several districts OF Silesia and
Hungary, and it had appeared in a few
places in Moravia and Bohemia In the
City Of Lemberg the malSdy was increas
ing, and in Bada and Pesth, althou !h de-
7clining, it bad not ceased. In the course of
Jauuary many communes in the
counties OF Albany and Stuhl-
weissenburg, aud several in the
county of SIros, in Hungary, were attack
ed, and the disease showed itself in the
town of WentzlOwitZ a. the districts of
Friestadt and Teschwer, in Sill .sia. In
McraVis, the town Of Hradisch and the
communes Of Klein Obers3orf ard Engles-
wald were attacked, and in Bohemia (cho-
lera still existing in Prague, in which city
it had broken out in in Decembar) the cho-
lera appeared ir the clmmunes of I4ieben
and Weinburg, Kladus and Letek, Kraliez
and Lobec, causing in these districts one
hundred and eighteen deaths. At the begin
ming of February cholera appears to have
been prevailing more or less in the diff
ferent =. localities named; it had
declined'in Lemberg, and it still existed in
Buda and Pesth. The garrison of Buda
suffered from serious outbreak during the
last week Of January, and 6rst week OF
February. The latest news indicates con-
siderable diminution ofthe number ofcsses
of cholera in the infected provinces, but
precise details are not given. The cessa-
tion Of cholera on the Upper Nile is report
ed. During the outbreak in Nubis, which
began in June, 1872, and ended, it would
seem, in the last week Of December, the
disease spread widely over the extensive
tract of country which lies between the
west coast of the Red Sea on the east
and the Great Desert on the west,
and between Cassala in the
south and Korosko in the north. Along
The course of the Nile cholera spread from
Halfaiys to Korosko. The provinces of
Taxa and Berber suffered most from the
outbgeaB. The infected district was shut
off from Egypt by sanitary cordons estab-
lished on the Nile at Jebele Silsilch, and AS
souaD, and by strict quarantine maintained
at Sufz against vessels from Suakin and
from the Hedjsz (as having cOmmunica-
tion with Suakin.) At The end of Deem
Der the sanitary cordOns at Jebele Jilsilch
and Assouan were removed, and cor
don was established higher up the river
at Korosko, to which point the navi-
CATION was freed. 1t is not re-
ported whether The sanitary Gordon at
Korosko has now been withdrawn, aud the
Upper Nile traffic left unimpeded. The
qarantine at Suez against vessels from Su-
akin and the ports OF the Hedj2z has been
reduced TO five days observation, including
the days of arrival ard departure from the
quarantine station at El We'd. The ques-
tons of the internal sanitary condition of
Persis, and the prevalence of plague and
frequently recurring epidemics of cholera
in that country, are about to be submitted,
at the suggestion of the Turkish Govern
ment, to Sanitary Commission consisting
OF delegates of the European powers, Of
Persia and Of the Porte.
