A tendency to depression on the Paris
Bourse, coupled with the intimation given
TO Austria that she must consent to sell
Venitia or prepare for a new war in the

'egiment was then commanded to order
arms and then to pile their arms
They obeyed and were at once marched s
on1e short distance clear of the pile, and no ,
ooner were they quite clear of the pile
han two companies of the 7th and Sd regi-
nents filing rapidly to the spot intervened |
between the 5th regiment and the arms to
prevent the possibility of any rush to recov- l
