traordinary rlarm was created at Paris, on Thursday,
irt that the I.:overnment had resolved on completing
ileations of the city, and that an ordinance, appro.
several for that purpose, would appear in
Gaz^lie. The funds fell on that report nearly 3

ix—nothing but war was talked of—many declaring
minister would not proceed to so extreme a measure
the certainty that hostilities were imminent—and all
that something fearful was at hand. Our corre-
s, he has traced this report to its source, and

that it has arisen simply from the fact, that government,
alarmed at the immense quantity of powder in depot at Vin-
cennes, has ordered two forts to be prepared, into which
one-half of that ammunition is to be removed. The word
fort led to the idea fortification, and thus, like the three
black crows, Paris, from having an additional powder maga-
zine, was to he surrounded by a complete fortification.
When it is considered that the plan of fortification, which
was long since projected, could not he executed under three
years at least, the absurdity of the report will be at once

evident

nich it says it has received from a secret correspon-

population, who afterwards were to repose in the neighbour-

population deservedly stood high in the scale of European
morality. But, since manufactures have overspread its great
towns, and a population has grown up in certain places—edu-
cated indeed, but with tile means of religious instruction, and
almost totally destitute of relir4ious principle—the character
of the nation in this respect has entirely changed ; and it is

the population. In England, the committals, which, in 1818,
were 7161, had risen, in 1837, to 23,612—that is to say, they
had tripled in 21 years. This advance will probably be con-
sidered by most persons as sufficiently alarming in the neigh-
bouring kingdom ; but it is small, compared to the progress
made by Scotland during the same period, where serious
crimes have advanced from 89 in 1805, to 3418 in 1838 ; being
an increase, in four-and-twenty years, of mere tkaa tkirty-
