WARNING TO THE "SIECLE."

PARIS, JULY 24.
The Empress has arrived at Vichy, where her
Majesty met with an enthusiastic reception.
The Slide has received a second warning for an
article recommending a plebiscite of the whole
French people to vote for or amainst a war for
Poland. The motives for the warning are stated
to be that this article is derogatory to the authority
of the Emperor and the essential bases of the con-
stitution, and that such suggestions can only com-
promise the interests of the great cause they pre-
tend to serve, and give a pretext for agitation,
which the government could not tolerate.

The failure of the firm of Behrend and Co., at
Dautzic, for about two millions, has created in all circles in
Prussia a great sensation. to consequence, Deputy Behrend,
partner in this firm, member of the progreveist party, and
vioe-president of the chamber, has laid down his mandate.
The causes of this misfortune are chiefly to be sought in
the state of Polish affairs, which is totally ruining the con-
siderable traffic of the eastern provinces of Prussia with
Poland, and renders capitol deposited there totally in-
secure. The esteem and sympathy that this house enjoys
are so great that the creditors have resolved upon taking no
legal measures before the first of October.

QUACKERY IN Flu:cm—A melancholy case of
empiricism wee last week brought !afore one of the cor-
rectional tribunals of the writ of France. The 'mused is
an herb-doctor who was then charged with having a short
time previously literally baked a woman alive in ordor to
cure an attack of rheumatism from which she lied long
suffered. The cure for this disorder, practised by
the Stour Lencble "with soccer upon his own
father," was to put his patients. lying in a bed
of reeds freshly plucked from a river, in • baker's
oven till their couch should be reduced to powder
with the heat The husband of the woman whom Leonid@
lest cooked deposed to her having, when abut up an hour
in the oven, complained that her side was being burnt The
quack ascended into the rhanstere ardente and applied some
' leaves to the horn. He bad busily descended when the
patient complained of soother burn. The same remedy
wee no sooner applied to it than the woman CarM said
i that her physician " must retrain with her io the
stove till the rheumatism would be baked out of her."
She then cried out that she felt herself ill from
head to foot, on which Lenoble soured her that it
was nothing, for that if she wanted to be cured she must
endure all the suffering it was possible to inflict on her.
After a long interval of silence, which struck the quack '
as being very strange, "seeing that the coma, chatted to
bins during the application of the cure," he resolved to draw
her out of the oven. She was then moveless. Vinegar and
reed roots were applied, but without effect, and next morn-
ing the unhappy woman died without having in the mean-
time shown any signs of censcionsems. The utmost pe-
nalty of the law wee not inflicted at Losable, he being con-
demned only to pay • finis of 50fr. and to gig months' im-
orisonmeat
