RIOTS AT TOULOUSE.

The Messager officially announces that the disturbances at
Toulouse have ceased, and that the municipality is proceeding
to make the objectionable surveys of doors and windows ordered
by the Minister of Finance. The following is a continuation
of the account of the enieute given by the Toulouse papers :
" The divers reports in circulation yesterday (the 7th) oc-
casioned a military force, twice as strong as the one employed
the evening before, to be employed to prevent hostile manifes-
tations of any importance.
" A early as eight the side walks of the Ailee Lafayette
were closed against the public, who were obliged to circulate
in the carriage road; and the left walk, on which resides M.
Plougoulm, was provided with more sentinels than is the rail•
in g of the Carrousel, which defends the entrance of the palace
of the Tuileries, at Paris. The residence of the Attorney_
General wa., moreover, specially guarded by '25 horse soldiers,
and so great was the vigilance displayed on the occasion, that a
stranger might have thought it was intended to preserve a
monarch from the fury of a revolted people.

" The precautionary measures taken on another point were
equally great. Place St. Etienne, long before sunset, was
invaded by about 200 horse soldiers, to prevent the circulation
of the people, and all the streets leading to the Prefecture
were stopped up by large bodies of troops.
" All this, hooves ea., did not prevent a cLarivari being given
to 11.1. Mohul and another to M. Plou,goulm : they were even
greater and better kept up than on the previous evening, and
it must also be owned the exasperation of the authorities and
the conduct of the trool s were more deplorable than ever.
"As it is necessary, in order to be just, to give eve, y one
his due, we must say, that it grieved us much to see the
lamps broken, because se doing is always a gratuitous mis-
chief and a blameable act. The thing, besides, commenced by
so inoffensive and so calm a band, that it really seemed as if
the young men who threw the first stones had been paid to
give riotous example.
‘• The greater part of the charges with the bayonet or at :ull
trot, wi:h drawn swords, were executed (this we certify) with-
out the indispensable sommations having been made at the
proper moment.
" This illegal act and revolting cruelty gave rise to nume-
rous wounds, which principally fell on persons not at all con-
nected with the chat irari, and who had not time to get out
of the way of the military. • The wounds which have been
pointed our to us are the following
A child, between nine and ten years of age, who was
standing near the cafe Reulet, on place St. Etienne, was bar-
barously struck several titn,s with the butt-ends of their mus-
kets by several soldiers, who looked more like madmen than
anyth:ng che ; and v.hen they were reproached with such an
act of unnecessary barbarity by some bystanders, they jocosely
replied, Children must be corrected whilst they are young.'
" A young man grievously wounded on place St. Etienne,
whom the commissary of police would not allow to be at-
tendee, although two soldiers, who had been slightly hurt by
being struck with stones, had been most kindly treated and
assisted by some of the inoffensive inhabitants.

" A barber, wounded in the back with a bayonet and having
a sabre•cut on his left arm, both of which injuries he received
while flying before the military who were charging, without
having made any sommation.
" A lady and her husband knocked down on leaving the
Theatre des Varietes to return home. We do not know
whether they are wounded, but the lady had her bonnet cut
throu.,ll by a chance stroke of a sabre.

. ,
"A young man had his head sadly injured by the horse of
an artilleryman in a charge made on place Rouaic, more than
500 yards from Ihe Prefecture.
" A man named Fortunet, a cook, employed by M. Berges,
traiteur, rue Tripure, wourded through the right arm with a
bayonet in a charge made on place Boultmne, by the tirailleurs
de Vincennes who had no police-officer at their heed to make
the necessary sommations. This man, uho had finished his
day's work, was going home quietly, and had taken no part
whatever in the disturbance. _ _

" A student in law had his cheek laid open by a sabre stroke.
, " We could enumerate various other accidents, but shall
not do so, as they do cot present any thing of a serious nature•.
" In addition to all those sinister events, it appears that
above sixty persons have been arrested. We shall soon see
what becomes of the prisoners, and whether M. Mohul in-
tends to treat the town of Toulouse as a town of war under
his control, and its inhabitants as if they were under mili-
tary law."
