places, and who, like their father, are esteemed by
the public. He has brought with him one of his,
grandsons.
Government is engaged in devising precautionary
measures against the introduction of the cholera
morbus through vessels arriving from the Baltic,
and orders will be ;staled to prevent the immediate
communication between persons arriving from the
infected countries with the inhabitants at the ports
at which they may land. The first measure will,
it is said, he taken at Dieppe and Havre.
M. Victoria Fabre, formerly editor of the Tri-
bune, and one of those who signed the protest in
July, died on Monday.
Yesterday M. Leon Pillet, responsible editor of
the Journal de Paris, appeared before the Court
of Assizes for a libel against the Procureur-
general, M. Persil, in his official capacity. M.
Per: it did not appear in person, and abandoned
his claim for personal 'damages. M. Leon Pillet
offered his own defence. The Jury pronounced
his acquittal, and condemned M. Persil personally
in costs.
We take the following from the Patriote de
l'Ouest :—" According to a calculation, which we
have every reason to believe correct, the number of
men who have joined the standard of revolt in the
departments of Deux-Sevres, Maine et Loire, Mor-
bihan, La Vendte, Finisterre, and Loire Inferieure,
is not less than 5,000. A nobleman, who resides
in the neighbourhood of Bressuire, has, within the
last four mouths, borrowed upwards of 100,000
francs, which, with good reason, is supposed to be
employed in supporting the rebels. According to
a letter from Poictiers, of the 26th ult. it appears
that a strong band of malcontents having fallen up-
on a regiment that was about to enter the town of
La Fleche, a dreadful contest ensued, in which
many fell on both sides. The advantage. however,
was on the side of the troops, and the assailants
were driven back, and took refuge in a neighbour-
ing chateau, where they were again attacked, and
put to the sword to a man, but not without the loss
of many brave soldiers."
The wharf St. Nicholas, opposite the Louvre,
presents at this moment a most curious scene.
Several families from Wirtemberg and other coun-
tries beyond the Rhine are daily arriving, to await
the departure of the steam-boat for Havre, from
whence they will embark for America. These
emigrants are, for the most part, farmers in easy
circumstances, who have sold their property, and
are going abroad to settle. Many of these families
have from 15 to 20 children, who, with the men
and women, retain their national costume. They
sleep under a species of tents, ranged under the
walls of the quay, surrounded by covered wag-
gons, in which they have stored their goods. The
women cook and wash their clothes as if they were
at home, though surrounded by crowds of the cu-
rious, amongst whom may be observed many artists
making sketches of the interesting groups.
