TURKISH REFUGEES. The Levant Herald of March 27th says: Typhoid fever, which for some time past has been making great ravages among the fugitives crowded together in the capital, is daily becoming more alarming in its proportiens. Every place of refuge—especially the great mosques—is at present literally transformed into a hotbed of infection, and the mortality in these places augments day by day. The resident popu- lation of the capital may well complain of this state of things, for, unless the Government intervene by taking energetic measures similar to these adopted by the late eminent Fuad Pasha in 1365, at the time of the great cholera epidemic, it is much to be feared that, when the fine weather set in in the course of a few weeks, the mortality will be dreadful. It has been proposed, as the best means of ward- ing off the threatened evil, to remove the refu- gees from their present places of shelter in the capital to some of the vast and fertile districts in Asia Minor, capable of nourishing and supporting a large popula- tion in ease and comfort, instead of keeping them here to din from misery and disease. No less than 130,000 of these unfortunates are here now, a vast number of whom must infallibly perish, if not re- moved in time, and who will likewise cause the deaths of thousands in the capital from the spread of infec- tious disease. It is not sufficient to send away every three or four days a Lloyd's steamer with 1500 or 2000 individuals; that is but a drop in the bucket. The Turkish national marine ought to be brought into use for this purpose, and the greatfrigates and even the ironclads should help to remove these poor people to healthy localities in Asia. Some time ago, Said Pasha announced in the Chamber of Deputies that a small squadron of vessels of war had brought away in a few days from Soukhum Kale 50,000 Abaze families and landed them at Trebizond, besides a great quantity of cattle of allkinds. Now, then, is thetimetorepeatsucb a feat for the preservation of the health of the capital and of that of the fugitives themselves. The Sixth Circle (Pera, Galata, and thereabouts), which, only a month ago, gave refuge to 6000 refugees, now main- tains 14,000, all of whom are more or less infected with the germs of typhoid fever. It is therefore lrgent, we repeat, if the population of Constantinople s not to be decimated, to put an end to the arrival of nore refugees, and to embark those already here vithout further delay for Asia Minor."
