PARIS, Feb. 24.-On Monday, the an
niversary of the execution of Fieschi,
Morey and Pepin, three individuals were
arrested in the act of placing chaplets on
the tomb of Pepin, in the cemetery Of
Mont Parnasse. They were im.nsdiate-
ly handed over to the civil power. This
manifestation of feeling acquires de-
gree of seriousness from circumstance
which took place the day before. A fun
eral ceremony in honor of Pepin had
been der ,lpded at the French church Of
the ." Ituzou. Letters of convoca-
ton .ssed, as the text sufficiently
indicated, to the brothers and friends
in the capital, were couched in the fol-
lowing terms - You are invited to as
sist at funeral service in honor of citi-
zen Pepin, beheaded by the Thermido-
reans, in the 44th year of the Republic.
Health and Fraternity The authori-
ties were informed of the circumstance
in time, and the service was not allowed
to take place.
GREAT FLooD AT sANTwERP.-Ant-
werp, Feb. 25.-It blew a most tremen-
dous gale on the 24th, which caused the
waters to rise two feet higher than the
high tide of 1885. Yesterday morning
about seven o'clock, the new dyke, con-
structed about two years ago, to repair
the one the Dutch blew up in 1880, gave
way, and the whole Of the Folders, as
far as Gallo, are covered with water nine
feet deep, at low water. Several per-
sons, horses, and cattle have perished,
but the extent has not been ascertained.
As it was market day, it is feared many
people have met with watery grave.
The shipping before the town have not
suffered, but some small crafts were
washed up on the quay. 1t is reported
that the dyke at Sherbreck has also given
way.

Extract of letter of the'l2th Of Feb.
from Odessa The war in the Cauca-
sus, which has hitherto excited but little
interest, begins to assume serious as
pect. and the Russian Government is be-
coming apprehensive Of the consequent
ces. The troops of Gen. Williaminof
are unable to keep the field against the
Tcherkes. A detachment Of Cossacks
were cut to pieces. In December, seve-
raj Russian vessels, conveying provisions
ammunition for the government, were
captured by the Tcherkes. These oc-
currences demand extraordinary mea-
sures. Consequently Count Woronzo,
governor general Of New Russia, has
authorized all merchant vessels to carry
sail for the coasts Of Abasia and Min
grelia. Vlassaf, Hetman Of the Don,
and General Ladynski, who command
the Cossacks Of the Black Sea, have re-
ceived orders to send twelve regiments
of that force to join the corps in Abasla;
and four regiments of Infantry, with a
park Of artillery, are to be embarked tor
Souham Kale and Soudjouk kale. LIS
also said that another corps Is to be sent
from Erivan agains. the Tcherkes.--
Notwithstanding the vigilance OF Rus
sia, and the injunction Of the Turkish
and Persian governments forbidding the
inhabitants TO hold a communication
with the mountaineers of the Caucasus
the latter received through the Kara Pa
packs. the Kudes and the Turcomans
all they stand in need Of to carry onthe
war. Several tribes Of the Lesghis, thu
most impIacable enemies Of the Rus
slams, have Joined the Tcherkes, and W.
Lare assured that the latter have among
them some distinguished foreign officers
so that the war IS now carried on sys
tematically, and not as formerly BY mer
parties Of brigands.
