also varied from 6 or 7 degrees of Fahrenheit to 19, '
and when this has been the case, the mortality has
quickly risen. The lowest temperature in the quar-
ter (25.8) was curiously enough registered on the
14th of February, the day which old tradition as-
signs for the commencement of Spring weather.
The highest temperature (56.5), as if to display to
the full extent the eccentricities of our climate, was
registered on the 3d of January. Truly, looking
at these figures and their respective dates, we
need not wonder at the perplexity of foreigners con-
cerning our seasons. The last table in this
appendix treats of the sanitary work of the quar-
ter, and this is a very important branch of the re-
port, as it is only by the rigid maintenance of the
system of inspection that we can hope to have sani-
tary regulations properly carried out. There appears
to have been no lack of industry among the medi-
cal officers, for there have been, in all, 2,452 inspec-
tions of houses in the quarter, 798 of which have
been in common lodging-houses, 232 in consequence
of the appearance of smallpox, and 146 for other
cases of disease, all of which have been returned in
the parish books by the medical officers of the
unions. That these visits of inspection have not
been without benefit, is proved by the issuing of
468 orders for works of sanitary improvement, as
heir results.

LATEST

NEWS.

The following telegrams have been received at
Mr. Reuter's office :

MADRID, APRIL 4.

When the troops became aware that General
Ortega had deceived them as to the ebject of their
movement they refused to march, and to his cry of
" Viva Carlos reis" they answered by shouts of

" Viva, la Reina." The General took to flight, ac-
companied by four persons, of whom nothing is
known, and was pursued by his own troops.

Hopes are entertained that General Ortega will
be captured.

The troops whom he had misled made their sub-
mission to the Queen on the arrival of General

Cerida.

Tranquillity reigns in the Balearic Isles. No
agitation prevails throughout the nation.
All the deputies at Madrid have presented an
address expressing their devotion to the Queen.

NAPLES, APRIL 4.

Factious persons have attacked the troops at
Palermo, but were bravely repulsed and dispersed
to the cry of " Viva it Re."
The city is tranquil.

PARIS, THURSDAY.

A note in the Moniteur of this morning points
out the happy influence exercised on the French
export trade, by the treaty of commerce with Eng-
land especially for productions of the South, wines,
spirits, and articles de Paris.

The Constitutionnel publishes an article by M.
Grandguillot stating that the effect of the Papal
excommunication is to immediately break off the
diplomatic relations between the Sovereign Pontiff
and the Prince excommunicated.

Nothing similar has taken place in reference to
the Cabinet of the Tuileries.

The object of the note in the Moniteur was not
to provide against the effects of the excommunica-
tion, but to recall the principles of our civil inde-
pendence and re-establish the true doctrines of the
Church of France.

PARIS, APRIL 4.
Despatches received here from Madrid state as
follows :

General Ortega had chartered two foreign
vessels at Marseilles, by means of money coming
from Madrid and Paris. The promoters of the re-
volutionary movement are not resident in Madrid.
The Deputies have assembled to protest against the
rebellion, and even private persons have offered
their services: The whole natioa is against the
rebels."
