Some of the journals have stated that a few days
ago, as a gentleman of the Paris press was engaged in
writing, he all at once sank down, and that hie intellectual
faculties disappeared I The gentleman in question was
Regault, of the Journal des Debats. His state at tha
moment is very dangerous, but it is hoped he may even-
tually recover.
