The straw ropes which had fastened the sack were found almost (sok although the sack was nearly all consumed. 'I he clothes on the body, stockings, and garters, were almost entire, and the colour of the vest (red vet% ei) little decayed. The razor, also, with which he had taken away his life, was found at his side. The body itself was in such a state of preservation, that it could be lifted entire, and carried away for re.itsitritictit ; hot the neighbours stripped it of most part of the clothes. each curious to secure a remembrance of this extiaofllt nary fact. An effort is making by the French Government to naturalize the breed of Cachemire goats in France. A vessel ha. arrived at Marseilles with a flock of them, sent by M. 'Lunen from tire Cri mea.
