The latest accounts from Paris, while stating the abatement of
Cholera in the capital, describe its increasing ravages in the provinces. Accounts had reached Paris on Thursday, of its appearance in the de- partments of Seine et Marne, Seine Inferieure, Aube, Eure, Eure et Loire, Loire Inferieure, Loiret, Meuse, Nord, Oise, Pas de Calais, Var, Somme, and Yonne. The deaths at Rouen have not been so numerous as might have been expected. From the 8th to the 23d they amounted only to 62. The disease has not yet visited Lyons. It is, we believe, the dirtiest town in France, and has a mass of poor people greater in proportion than in any other of Loins PHILIP'S dominions. It is to be feared, that when Cholera does get there, it will make ter- rible havoc.
It is now said that the King of Holland was the party whose gold stirred up the poisoning riots in Paris. There is said to be proof that a banker, by his directions, distributed 300,000 francs (12,0001.) for that purpose. We would like to see it. WILLIAM knows the value of his "gelt" too well to squander it for any such idle purposes.
