A great number of inhabitant householdersPAßlS APRIL
of the town of
Dsonetal (Seine Inferieure) have lately signed and sent to the Pro-
sereur du Roi a complaint against M. Lefebvre, Cure of that town,
'awn they accuse of corrupting the morals of their youth. We
have a copy of this complaint now before us, but decency prevents
us making any extracts from it. The subscribers to the complaint
wishing, concerning matters of religion and its ministers, to avoid
notoriety of aby kind, at first applied to the ecclesiastical authority
to have the Cure dismissed; but AL Lesur, Vicar-General, now so
celebrated, answered, that M. Lefebvre was a zealous and virtuous
man, and that it was nothing more than a conspiracy framed by
Jacobins. There are, however, among the signatures those of
eight or nine members of the Municipal Council of Ihmetal, and
several of the principal manufacturers of that industrious town.
The complaint has in consequence been sent tip to the judicial
authorities, and is before the Procureur.lieneral, along with the
proofs, and the investigation of the case has already been entered
upon.
Tumult and confusion were on the 20th of this month renewed
at Rouen, upon the occasion of the shutting the theatre for the
season. The play bills had announced an ordinary piece, and the
public had called for Tar Mire with greater warmth than ever, but
as on the preceding evening and the evening before that the call was
not satisfied, and for the third time, it became necessary to call in
the Garde Royal, to maintain order without the walls of the theatre,
whilst the gendarmerie ejected the audience and shut up the
theatre, without any piece at all having been performed.
It was said in the town that M. Lesur, the Vicar. General, has
departed for Paris.
