VIENNA, SEPT. 5.
The Plague in Turkey.--We mentioned yesterday the alarming progress which the plague was making latterly in Turkish Albania. Letters which we have received to day from the Frontiers of Dalmatia contain the melancholy confirmation of this intelligence, and add that the contagion had spread also in Epirus and the Morea. All the inhabitants of Joannina have left that city and dispersed themselves about the surrounding country. This has probably given rise to the report that all the inhabitants of that city had been swept away by the contagion. Two of the fugitives who came to Delvino, where they died the day after their arrival, brought the plague into that town. All the Ionian Islands are placed under a quarantine with respect to Corfu. In all the ports of the Adriatic, the quarantine regulations are enforced with the more rigor in proportion as the danger of infection is greater from the fugitives who crowd from all parts of the Greek continent to the Ionian Islands, especially to Zante.
