THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 22, 1841.

France has authorised the other Great Powers to
draw round her that cordon sanitaire with which
LOUIS PHILIPPE iS so eager to encircle less
guilty and disorderly Spain.
At about four o'clock in the afternoon of Thursday, as
the King was returning from Versailles to Paris, a stone
was thrown at his carriage by 'an individual standing on
the side of the road. The miscreant guilty of the at-
tempt effected his escape and could not be overtaken.
A Constantinople correspondent writes:—" A rene-
gado, named here Mahmoud Effendi, who was physician
to the late Sultan, died recently, without his real name
and family having been positively known. It is now said
that his real name was Fromann, and that he was a na-
tive of Coburg. In 1809 he was a surgeon-major in the
Austrian army, and in 1815 was involved in a plot for
carrying off the Duke de Reichstadt ; but, being disco-
vered, fled to Constantinople, and there became a Maho-
metan, and physician to the Sultan. The Turkish Go-
vernment, in violation of his will, by which he bequeathed
his large property to a young Greek, called Youssouf
Effendi, has seized the whole to itself ; declaring the le-
gatee to be a Giaour, or infidel, and therefore incapable
of inheriting. He has made a petition to the Sultan,
but can have no hopes of its being available."
The fire at the Chateau de Barante, in Auvergne,
which we have mentioned, consumed one entire wing,
but was stopped before it reached the main building.
The loss is estimated at from 30,000 fr. to 40,000 fr. The
part destroyed was the richest part of the chateau, and
some family portraits, with other valuable pictures, are
said to have been lost.
The assassin Collot, who was condemned to death by
the Court of Assizes at Lyons for the murder of his
uncle some time ago, was executed on the 16th instant
at Lyons. When the rejection of his petition for pardon
and the warrant for his execution were brought to him,
he was awakened from a profound sleep, into which he
fell again as soon as the reading was finished. He pre-
served the same coolness till the last moment. .

A melancholy accident took place at three o'clock yes-
terday morning, at the Hotel de l'Europe, in the Rue de
Rivoli. Mr. Charteris, who was residing there with his
family, set fire during the night to his clothes and other
articles in his room, and then precipitated himself from
the window, which was on the third storey. The unfor-
tunate gentleman in the fall broke both legs and frac-
tured his skull; he was picked up in a state of perfect in-
sensibility, but notwithstanding the assistance of Dr.
Bertin and Dr. Higgins,'lvho were immediately called
in, was too seriously injured to survive, and died in two
hours.

A man named Glemee was executed at Rennes, a few
days since, for the murder of his wife. His behaviour was
suitable to his position; he received the spiritual suc-
cours of the chaplain with resignation, and admitted the
justice of his sentence. On the scaffold, the executioner,
contrary to the usual practice, had placed the coffin in-
tended for his body close by the fatal plank, and the cri-
minal on beholding it was observed to shudder violently ;
in other respects he conducted himself with firmness. An
immense crowd was assembled on the occasion.
The Prefect of the Dordogne has adopted a system,
which, if general, would be invaluable to the historian.
He has opaned a register, in which is to be inscribed,
with due authentications, a summary statement of every
remarkable event that occurs within his department,
such as the erections and demolitions of public or private
buildings of interest—important occurrences—storms—
epidemic diseases—acts doing honour to individuals and
families—in short, every event and circumstance which
may furnish historical materials for posterity.
Among the numerous visitors who have waited on
Lord Cowley since his arrival has been a deputation from
the "Dames de la Halle," who came to offer his Excel-
lency an enormous bouquet, with the congratulations of
the " illustrious" body they represented. His Lordship
received his "fair" visitors with the utmost good nature,
and acknowledged their civility by a handsome gratuity.
The ladies, on coming down stairs, strongly pressed the
porter of Meurice's Hotel to accompany them to the
nearest wine-shop and drink his Lordship's health.
A farmer of Chapelle d'Huin, in the Doubs, having
some days ago left in a field a quantity of vitriolated
corn he Intended for sowing, his daughter found it, and
not knowing the preparation it had undergone, gave it
to a pig she had the care of. The animal, after eating
it, became so much out of condition that the farmer de-
termined to sell it before it was too much reduced. An
inhabitant of the place bought and killed it, and 17 per-
sons who partook of the pork were attacked with violent
cholics. Some became so ill that, believing they were
about to die, they had the last sacrament administered
to them, but fortunately all recovered. It was remarked
that those who partook of the black puddings made with
the blood were those who suffered the most severely.
A marriage, as we learn from the Memorial de I'au, is
about to be celebrated in that town between Baron Oscar
Bernadotte, nephew of the King of Sweden, and Mlle.
de Navailles, a descendant from one of the Barons who
accompanied the Bearnese Viscounts in the Crusades,
and who afterwards formed an alliance with the princely
house of Albret.
