second warning to the Pau Courier do k Bre-
"Ps*, in eonsequenes of an article against the
proclamation of the empire on the 10th. The prefect
describe the article as tending to throw suspicion
upon the loyalty of the government, and to ridicule
beforehand the great solemnity of the 10th of May."
He tbrther describes it as manifesting an intention to
diminish the general confidence, and to invalidate
the effect of a great political manifestation. In con-
sequence of this second warning the journal now lies
at the mercy of the prefect, who may suspend it any
moment. Most of the provincial press may be ex-
pected soon to be in the same position.
Seven men have been arrested in the Saone and
Loire upon the charge of belonging to a band of in-
cendiaries at Longpierre. Three of them have been
before in custody on suspicion of being concerned in
the late tires, but they were discharged for want of
proof. They have now been denounced by a person
named Balleaut, who admitted having been their
accomplice, and has since got out of the way. The
government believes it to be certain that the incen-
diary conspiracy existed, and that it was founded
upon political motives. One of the prisoners has
been heard to say ►hat if on Fob. 24 the mayor had
given 100 fr. to celebrate the anniversary of the re-
public there would have been no tires.
