The Sentinelle of Toulon of the 23d inst. says :—" The
discharge of the 1,500 sailors is suspended, it being itn-
Poisible to carry this order of the Minister of the Marine

Could be discharged, and therefore it would be necessary
take the rest from the crews of ships in commission.
al
_iene of these ships have their full complements, and to
t
ltKo from them the remaining 900 men, would reduce
them by one-half, which would be equivalent to a dis-
,irrmament of our squadron. If it had become necessary
from any eventuality to send out any of our ships, it
would have been impossible to man them."

Ibi.,arly on Tuesday the church of St. Leonard's was

4 ruffians that a lady named Muschets, a native of
lea, who had been interred on the previous Friday

a oaistom peculiar to that country. The villains, were,
I:Weve,r, disappointed, and they then emptied the con-
„silts of a bottle of the communion wine, and ransacked
;ill, national school boxes, which contained only a few
11ings. A pickaxe and a crowbar were found in the
`vault, and the lid of the coffin was removed. The fel-

ALonded to have been performed, but the circumstance
'tsed such excitement, that it was not proceeded with.
