Ch0ler@'s March Unhindered by
 Quarantine.

With all the precaution used 1t seems almost impossible to check the spread of the cholera. It has reached Paris. Three cases and two deaths were report ed from there July 9.
 The panic is spreading all over Flu rope, which has brought business to a stand still. The public officials at Mar seilles have become panic striken and are fleeing. The flight of residents from the town is universal. There are very gloomy reports of the state of affairs in all southern France.
 There were reported 57 deaths in Marseilles, July 20. The chamber of commerce has voted an appropriation of 10000 francs for the relief of the suffer CTS. At Toulon, July 20, there were A6 deaths in 24 hours. In the same time I'll cases were received at the hospitals. Yesterdays reports from Paris are eight cases and two deaths; from Mar seilles 26 deaths, from Toulon 20 deaths. There is great distress in Toulon. Pro- visions are scarce and dear. The hotels are closing their kitchens, and the pro- vision warehouses are expected to close, owing to lack of supplies. The chol- era at Aries is becoming serious.
 The United States government is talk ing precautions to prevent the cholera reaching this country. A dispatch dat cd Washington, July 20. says:-
 The president has issued to quaran. tine authorities a proclamation urging them to exert the greatest vigilance mol only in regard to foreign vessels, but tc the sanitary condition of their cities The cabinet has decided to prohibit thC importation of rags for 90 days. Re ; serve vessels will be used in the auar antine service. Canadian dispatche : deny the charge that infected rags ar, being imported in the United State through Canada.
 The presidents proclamation is a follcws:-
 While quarantine regulations are com mitted to the several states, the genera government has reposed certain power in the president to be used at his dis cretion in prevention of threatene epidemic. Feeling it my duty, I hereb call upon all persons who, under exis ing systems in the several states, are II trusted with the execution of quarantin regulations, to be diligent and on tn alert in order to prevent the introdu, tion of the pestilence which, we all T, gret to learn, has made its appearanc in some of the countries of Europe b, tween which and the ports of the Unite States intercourse is direct and freauen further advise that the cities and towr of the United States, whether on th coast or on the lines of interior comm nication, by sound sanitary regulation and the promotion of cleanliness, prepared to resist the power of disea: and to mitigate its severity. And flu ther direct the consuls of the Unite States in the ports where the pestilen, has made or may make its appearan, to exercise vigilance in carrying out Il instructions heretofore given and communicating to the government the United States any information value relating to the progress or Urea ment of the disease.
