The Minister of the Interior has addressed a cir-
cular to all the Prefects of Departments, recom-
mending them to watch carefully the formation of
every society placing itself in communication with the
association founded in Paris, under the title of
Solidarite Republicaine. The Minister states in his
circular, that although the place of meeting of the
central society had been closed by the Government,
he had reason to believe that the association still
existed, and was endeavouring to form affiliated
societies.

to the authorities in the departments to proceed forth-
Kith to draw by ballot the jury which is to try the

Letters from Cahors, in the department of the
Lot, of the 21st instant, state that serious distur-
bances have arisen at Gourdon and Nozar, in that
neighbourhood, in consequence of the tax collectors
having insisted on the payment of the additional
45 centimes imposed by the Provisional Governmentt
The peasants had, in consequence, risen in arms,
marched into Gourdon, and pillaged the Hotel de
Ville, and the Sous refecture. A. detachment of
the 35th Regiment of the line was first marched
against them, but that force being compelled to re-
treat by the peasants, it was found necessary to seix!
for additional troops from Perignaux, and also A
squadron of Chasseurs from Montauban.
