. AUGSBURG, FEBRUARY 2O

Notwithstanding the vigilance and activity of the
Polite, the attacks and wounding of women who ap•
pear alone in the streets in the evenings, still continue.
As the perpetrator does not consider himself safe in
the public streets, on account of the patroles set to
watch him, he now begins to steal into houses, and
then to gratify his* wicked inclinations by stabbing
women whom he finds alone.

FEBRUARY 22.—The inhabitants still live in the
greatest terror. The boldness of the disturbers of
public security goes so far, that notwithstanding the
.increased number of guards set by the Police, a girl
was wounded in the street the evening before yester-
day, and another pursued ; and yesterday evening,
t seven o'clock, an attempt was made to assassinate
Student : he was suddenly attacked by an unknown
person, armed with a stiletto, and nothing but his
suddenly turning round, parried the blow from his
heart, at which it was aimed, so that it struck the
breast, and did not prove mortal ; but the young
man, in defending himself, was severely wounded in
the band: the assassin fled. We must praise the
general indignation and tumult among the people,
who ran together in crowds in order to seize the
wretches who have so long carried on these wicked
proceedings undiscovered. This afternoon a notice
has been issued by the Police, and all the streets and
squares are occupied by soldiers of the Police, Bens-
' d'artnes, and military patroles.

FIBRUARY 23.—Last night all was quiet, only that
a fire broke out, as it did in the preceding night, but
it was merely accident!, and soon extinguished. The
Notice says.--" For some time past, excesses have
been committed here, which excite the indignation
of the Magistrates, and of.every honest citizen." The
Magistrates of the city have adopted the measures
necessary for the maintenance of personal safety and
order. The Police forbids all disturbance of tran-
quillity by noise and cries in the streets, especially at
night, the stealing into houses, and pressing against
individuals; also all wearing .of arms by persons
whose vocation does not entitle them so to do. • The
roving. of idle females about the streets is expressly
to he prevented. All the back and side doors of
houses must be closed by five o'clock, The hour
fixed by the Police for closing coffee-houses, taverns,
&c. is to be strictly observed. An account must he
given, within twenty-fcur hours, to the Police Office,
of all strangers now here, with the indication of the
nuizher of the house, of the landlor'd, and of the'
stranger's name and business, without regarding.
.whether a notice has already been given or not. All
housekeepers, &c. are to deliver the notices prescribed
until farther orders, every evening at six o'clock, and
every morning at eight o'clock ; anti all persons who
have permits of residence, are to appear, with Out de.
lay, before the Committee this day appointed, and
produce these permits, or Cartes de Secrete, to be re
newed, whether the time fur which they were or;gi-
nails. given lie expired or not."
