VIENNA, JULY 9.

Accounts from Pe►ugia, of 30th June, say, that
t! .e health of the Archduchess Caroline improves

PARIS, JULY 19.

Marshal Gouvion St. Cyr. Minister or War. is
shout to quit the oaten of Nevis, which, it iv 'mid,
have been very beneficial to his healih.

Sir M. Constable M ixwell, of Scotch descent,
died suddenly at Abbeville, on the 30th ult. After
the funds, ceremony, which was performed with
great pomp, according to the Catholic ritual, Miss
Maxwell walked round her father's coffin, and kiss-
ed it several times.

Since the Ist of January last, there have been
killed in the department of the Gironde, 14 male,
6 she wolves, and 89 cubs.
We have received intelligence from Soissons, that
the collector of tuxes in the commune of Vissignieux
has just put an end to his existence, after astiassi•
listing two persons who were deputed to examine
his account.. This collector, whose name was De
Toussy, had been in urrear in his remittances. The
receiver sent two of his clerks, the Sieur Berthemet,
• Quarter-master on half-pay, and the Sieur Brin-
quant, ex.militoire, to look into Isis off►cial affairs.
On their arrival at the residence of Dr. Toussy,•
he invited them to breakfast with him; and leas,.
ing them under pretext of going for his books, he
returned witl► a double-barrelled fowling-piece.
shot Berthemet dead on the spot, and mortally
wounded Briliquant, who died some hours after-
vtards. The assassin then went into another room
and shot himself. He had taken the precaution to
send his wife to Soissons, and to remove his ser-
vant. The Sieur Berthemet, it is said, had no
other property than his salary of 1,200 francs per
annum, a►►d be has left destitute a wife and six
children.
Various rumours relative to this dreadful event
are in circulation. Some, without attempting to
deny this atrocious assassination, announce, that
De Toussy suspected, that the persona who were
sent to examine his accounts, were anxious to get
appointed in his place ; and others blame the re-
ceiver. We have not details minute enough to in-
dime us to offer an opinion on this deplorable af-'
fair; but doubtless very amide information wilt
shortly demonstrate who ought to be lamented or
censured.—( Le Conslitationel.)
