Accounts from Majorca state, that the plague,
which had broken out in that island, was extending
with alarming rapidity. Palma, the principal
town, had insulated itself, by a military cordon,
from all communications with the rest of the island.
A curious litigation is about to commence in the
Parisian tribunals. The complainant is a Hamburgh
merchant, named J. eels!' Castel, and the persons
against whom he institutes proceedings are, the
Duke of Rovigo (ovary), Desmarest, and Schulz-
mister, employed under the Duke in the police,
and Bi roard, ex-director of gambling houses. The
accusation is this :—ln 1812, the complainant, pre-
viously engaged in contracts with the French
" IroperialN avy," was solicited by the French Gene-
ral commanding in Hamburgh to discount Bank of
England notes to the amount of 5,0001. He con-
sented, and negotiated the notes to a considerable
amount, and, by order of the General, deposited the
residue in the hands of the Director General of
Police of Hamburgb. The Bank of England notes
all proved forgeries ! and Cannel was obliged to make
good ali losses. He then came to Paris, received
an invitation from M. Desmarest, chief of a division
of tha police—was politely received—and requested
D.u.marest to state the precise amount of those
notes which he had negotiated for the French Gene-
ral. From this, and other circumstances, Castel
had suspicion of Desmarest and the Duke of Rovigo,
whom he now charges, in common with others,
with having fabricated this spurious bank of
England paper. He states where. how, and by
whom, the forgsVes were committed, and even the
agents sent to circulate them in Englund.—Gazette
de France.
M. B. Constant complained, in the sitting of the
Chamber of Deputies, on Tuesday that the letters
of certain deputies to their constituents, on the *sub-
ject of their legislative duties had been intercepted,
in their way through the post.office, by the agents
CI government; and that the censors of the press
dared to prohibit the publication in the journals of
o speech delivered in the Chamber of Peers, and
ordered by thatChaniter to be printed. tie remarked
thet if such practices as these were tolerated, there
Was an end to a free communication between the
people and their representatives, on the destructive
consequences of which he enlarged at considerable
iength. He thertinre moved that the debate on the
Budget should be suspended till Ministers gave ex-
planations on this einati.ct. This motion was ran,
however, seconded ; and, after some debating, M.
Constant said, that sa i•lital with having given pub-
licity to the injuries of which he complained, Lc
withdrew motion.
