Cholera in France.—The Cholera, it appears, has broken out in Paris. The spot where it is stated to have commenced, is an island on the river Seine, and very densely populated by the lower classes chiefly. It is not probable we think, that the ravages of this disease in France will be more serious than they have been in England. for although in the former country people live in a more circumscribed space, their general habits of temperance are much greater than those of the same class in the latter country. We perceive mention made of one case of Spasmodic Cholera, at Calais, but in the intermediate space between that place and the capital it does not seem to have been noticed. The London journals continue to give the official accounts of the progress of the disorder in Great Britain, but beyond that, it hardly excites their attention. An Order in Council of the British Government has been published, directing that vessels with passengers bound to this Continent shall be provided with a medical man and medicine chest. A very necessary precaution we think under present circumstances.
