whether any were wounded. The crowd proceeded

In the Faubourg St: Cyprien, the tumult was more

On the 13th, however, the market was peaceable—:
$O3 hectolitres were sold at .26 francs the hectolitre.
Towards the close of the market, one violent person
threw a stone at the Chef d'Escadron.—The distur-

the barricadoes they had fixed, and it is probable the
public tranquillity will be no more disturbed."

" The news from Toulouse of the 14th announces
that the disturbance which took place on the 11th
"and 12th, on account of grain, has not been attended
with any serious consequences. Ten' persons were
_arrested on the Ilth, and ode on the lith The
lawr is accused of having struck the Chef d'Esen
dron of the Gendarmerie. He was forthwith deli.
vered over to the Prevotil Court, which was to try
him on the 15th. Upon receiving the news of these
events, *ad upon receiving the orders of the Prefects,
• the'Legion of Tarn and Garonne, arid the Tara and
the neighbouring National Guards. marched upon
Toolouse. The National Guard of Montauban dis-
tinguished itself by its zeal; that of Toulouse .did
its duty. A detachment of 60 men, under M: Belin,
*merchant of eminence, sheaved as much resolution
as intrepidity, in proceeding, to the Faubourg St.
Cyprien, where the people had stopped three wag.
gons with grain, in restoring order, and arresting
several rebels.
" In all parts of France a considerable fall has taken
. place in the price of grain. At Paris the fall in the
price of flour has been 15 francs per sack within the
last week. and it continues to fall.
At Pat .obteuf and at Beauvoi, in Vendee, armed
peasants ~pposed the embarkation of grain and pill-
, lased pat it. The Suo. Prefect of Sables has been
removed,. al d repla,ed by M. Desabeys, an .ancient
Vendean Chief, equally zealous and moderate."

‘i Very serious disturbances have occurred within
these few days at Rouen, owing to the scarcity of
grain. The soldiery fired on the people; and an
affray ensued, which ended in the disarming of the
former, many of whom fell victims to the fury of the
snob. Recent letters from Marseilles bring intelli-
gencenf tumult, arising from the same cause, having
occurred in that city. Some vessels laden with corn
having lately arrived at that port' from the Levant;
when it was attempted to send the corn into the in-
terior, the people assembled, stopped the waggons
containing it, and caused them to be unloaded, and
the grain deposited in the public granary of the
town. The Authorities have since beets unable to
effect its removal.
se At Laval, commotion: of a similar kind took
place, shortly after those which broke out at Tou-
louse. The Journals have been instructed to remain
silent on these disturbances, and to beware of insert:

comanding at Touloup on the subject. They have
also received strict injunctions to make no mention
whatever of the speech of M. d'Argenson igainetsbe
