About eighteen months since it ravaged the banks of the Indus with frightful severity, imflicting serious loss upon the British troops at Kurrachee and Hyderabad. About the same time it raged in Affghanistan; spread from thence into Persia, which it traversed from east to west, spreading to the northward into Tartary, and south- wardly into Turkish Kurdistan, and the pachalic of Bagdad. Early in the present _year it maue its appear- ance to the west of the Caucasian mountains, and com- mitted great ravages in the Russian army acting against the Circassians ; and we just now learn of its reappear- ance in Europe, having broken out at Taganrog, Mari- anopolis, and other ports on the westerly shores of the Sea of Azof, Kief, Smolensk, Riga, Tifilis, Kars, Kontais, and Trebizond. Great alarm is felt at War- saw, where the authorities were preparing hospitals. On board the Peninsula or Oriental steamer Sultan, Captain Brooks, on her late voyage from ‘T'rebizond to Constantinople, several cases had broken out, in con- Sequence of which she had been ordered by the health authorities at the latter port to Prince’s Island to ride out her quarantine of ten days. The tiger will therefore be despatched to Malta in her stead, to carry home the India (bulky) mails and passsengers. As in its former progress towards Europe, in the years 1830 and 1831, the general course of the pestilence has been nearly due north-west; and it seems, so far, to have travelled at about the same rate as on that occasion, In 183], it made its appearance onthe shores of the Baltic (at Riga, Dantzic, and Memel) in the month of May, at Vienna and Berlin in August, at Hamburgh in October, and reached England in the beginning of November. We regret to state that the accounts from Berlin and Frank- fort announce the rapid approach of the cholera to Poland.

Tre Borneo Pinates.—A smart engagement has taken place between H. M. S. Nemesis and the Borneo pirates which infest the Indianarchipelago. The action took place on the 30th May, Mr. Brooke and Captain Grey both being on board the Nemesis, with a cutter in tow, crossing from Brune tolabuan, The pirate fleet consisted of eleven large prahus, manned tv 50 men each. The action lasted from one o’clock till >un-down, ending in the capture of five of the prahus, and the dis- mantling of the rest; whilst the pirates lost about 100 killed, and it is computed that 200 more are wounded. The British lost one man killed, and seven wounded, two mortally and most severely. ‘Ten brass guns, vary- ing in size, and five iron guns were captured. The whole pirate fleet would have been destroyed but for the small number of the English boats engaged. The pirates, however, have received a severe lesson. Mr. Brooke has arrived in England, bringing with him the treaty which he had concluded with the Sultan of Borneo,
