What a noise the French journals and the Belgian
Opposition journals have made about the decree of
28th August. The above statement of the importr,
tions from Germany proves how perfectly ridiculous
all this noise was.

at Brussels on the 12th Anniversary of the Days of

SHARP PRACTICE.—A few days ago at the horse-
fair of Machecoul, a gendarme, named Montagne,
having had his attention directed
.to a deserter, who
had long evaded arrest, and who had committed a
number of robberies in the country, and was also sus-
pected of murder, went up to him and ordered him, to
surrender. The deserter resisted, and a struggle en-
, sued, in which both parties came to the ground, The
gendarme called on the crowd to assist him, but not
a man stirred. After a desperate contest Montagne
contrived to draw his sword, and placing it on the
breast of the deserter, declared he would pierce him
through the body if he stirred. The deserter, con-
tinuing to struggle, and having struck the gendarme
with great violence, the latter plunged his sword into
his body, and killed him on the spot. On rising up,
he again called on the bystanders to aid him in taking
the body to the station of the gendarmerie, but this
was refused. He then went to his office, and having
made his report, gave himself into custody. He hy,
since been removed to the prison of Nantes.
