"The Cholera Morbus has taken most dreadful hold of us here. From the 27th ult, to.the 10th inst. there was 2850 cases, land du- ring the last three days certainly not less than 560 to 600 daily, with hardly single cure; and the physicians are of opinion that it will go on increasing through the warm months. l made mp my mind to quit the city and go down to Copenhagen; but now there will be possibility of this. A cutter is cruising on bornholm to prevent vessels coming nearer the shore than necessary, two Swedish bries to prevent landing on their coast, and no one is allowed to go on shore at the Sound. The a. bove date as to numbers attacked daily are from official reports and have no idea that they comprehend all who have fallen victims to the disease; for many sick have wished to conceal the fact from the public authorities, fearing an interference of the Police. We have reason to fear that the vessels which arr rive hereafter will beasubject to great deten- ton, tor nearly 20, 900 Russians, mostly labor CTS, have this week taken out passes to leave the city; the working Russians at Cronstadt, are so frightened that should not, at any mo- ment, be surprised to learn they refused to la Dor on board the ships.-It is dismal to walk the streets, which are comparatively desert ed: the Imperial family, the Cadets, and nearly all, who are masters of their own movements, having left the city. Every in divdual whom one meets, looks anxious as if expecting that his turn will come next; we are unwilling toleave our houses without com- pany."

 Another letter states that the cholera has attacked the shipping. The captain, second mate, and several seamen had died from the American ship Heroine; and one on board the Nye.
