One of the journals of Monday morning says : —" Ou Sa-
turday the body of a municipal guard was taken from the
river near the Pont des Invalides. The state of the body

leads one to t uppa.e that he was murdered. It is said that
five days before the bodies of two others were taken out.

The Univers publishes an address from the Bishops 01
Bourges, Clermont, St.' Fleur, and Puy, on the liberty ci
educati,n in France, addressed to the King. This addres,

tinguished families. The Government immediately mus-
tered the whole garrison, fell upon the insurgents, and

alleged ; but the whole population is in anxiety and expects
some important determination on the part of the Pontifical
Government."
