hours the efforts of the fire brigade, aided by the regular
troops. These latter were carried away by their zeal for
the public cause, and ventured into the burning buildings
with • rash amnia* to which about a dozen of them tell
victims. Colonel Troth, a brave Piedmontese officer. Major
Fiore, of the Carahineers, and another major of the nth
Infantry, while endeavouring to check the ardour of the
troops, were crushed by a falling wall."

departments of the Gironde and the Landes for the insuffi-
ciency of other productions."
