Ihe Journal dcs Debats says, "The
department Of the Lower Rhine has been
for the last four months afflicted with a
scourse which has thrown the inhabi.
tants into the utmost CONSERVATION, and
reduced them to situation truly depor-
able. The suslerings ofthis district have
arisen from the incredible ravages Of
mice The arrortlissemcms Of Savern
and Strasburg have been most exposed
to their depredations. destructive
animals have multiplied there to such a
degree that in the district of Saven L..
570,0 have been taken in fortnight,
and nearly as many have pcrished in their
holes. The crops have been nearly de-
stroyed in many comhunes; and the po
tatOes, the last resource OF cutivators, are
now attacked and threatened with de-
struction. What mice have spared has
been carried away by hail storms. On

town and envIrons Of Strasburg, especial
iy over the districts Of Mareinbeim and
