Some disturbance took place lately in
the South OF France, at Castrcs about 50
mics estward of Toulouse, on account OF
the rise in the price of corn. The mayor
attended by a detachment Of the national
guard and b igade of gcnsdarmes, pro-
ceeded to the spot and harangued the
people, bat was obliged to deliver the
corn at the fixed price. Notwith9tand-
ing this concession, part OF the corn was
carried off without being paid for, and
TIE national guards joined the people.
Tranquility was, however, finally reotor-
ed, and twelve of the guards were arrest
ed and sent to prison. The rise in the
price of corn, which caused this terment,
appeacs to have been the result or the ap-
preIfe nsions entertained of bad harvest,
i'll consequence of the long series OF wet
weather.
