[From our own Correspondents]. *- Aden, October 2. The cholera is now subsiding ; deaths from disease have been less frequent during the past few days, and it is hoped that the epidemic may soon be stamped out. London, Sept. 27. Several newspapers published at St. Louis, one of the jprincipal cities in the United States, give currency to the report that an American Fenian Organisation has recruited a filibustering force of three hundred men, with the avowed intention of making a raid upon Freemantle the chief port of Western Australia, and plundering the settlement. Another object of the expedition, which is said to have already sailed from San Francisco, is to release the prisoners confined in the Imperial convict establishment, at Freemantle. The St. Louis papers are dubious as to the correctness of the rumor.
Instructions which were Recently given for the withdrawal of several regiments of Imperial troops, from the Transvall, have been countermanded in consequence of non-ratifi-cation of the Convention, and hostility which the newly-elected Volksraad continues to exhibit towards the British.
