EXODUS FROM PARIS.
LONDON, July 25.-The Paris CORES
pondent OF the Standard says large
number of those who recover from

the same deadly character which
some previous outbre axis displayed.

pie from Paris, who are apprehensive
chat the epidemic will reach the CAPT.
tai, but nothing of the nature of a
panic has yet appeared. The CORES
pendent has never seen Paris so de-
serted as at present. English and
American tourists give Paris a wide

altogether unjustifed, as the capital is
better cleaned, more abundantly wa
