ROYAL ORDINANCE
. LOUIS, &c.-Considering that shameful
disorders took place IN the solemn sitting
of the Faculty of Medicine at Paris on The
18th of this month, End that this IS not the
first occasion in which the students OF that
school have been seduced into movements
which may become dangerous to public
order; considering that it is the most I'M
perious duty of the professors TO MAINTAIN
discipline, without which instruction can
produce no fruit, and that such relaPses
indicate an internal defect IN the organi-
a. ntl a
on the report Of our minister secretary o!
state for the interior, we have ordered and

of the Faculty of Medicine.

the first physicians and surgeons OF PARIS,
who were professors Of the different branch.
es OF medicine, have thus been deprived
vi Their places, and 1000 students Of the
means OF instruction. The courses ut e.
ture which had commenced were stopped
o., Friday the doors of the School OF Me-
dicne we're closed. and the young men
were appris.d by handbill, tba' they
could no longer pursue 'heir studies at
Paris. How serious i'm alton this or
dinance has been OF the means Of study
may be gathered from the fact tba. there
existed only three faculties Of medicines
in France those OF Strasburg. MoDlpc-
lier and Paris. In order to obtain the de-.
gree of doctor, or the diploma OF surgeon,
il was necessary TO study al the schools Of
one or the other OF these places. The
number OF students was, OF course great

in the capital. The young men assembled
here from all parts of France. and even of
