At length, thank gracious we have got rid Of
the everlasting Rochefort He mas been shut up
for six months to the profound satisfaction OF the
trade and commerce OF Paris and greatly to his
own delight for he feels that the role OF agitat0r s

the sitting OF the Chamber as usual and expected
to be arrested on leaving II, and his allies mad made
arrangements TO get up . manifestation In his
honor. But to his surprise he was allowed to 60
without being noticed by the authorities ana he hid
himself away till nine r. NJ when he started OF for
public meeting where he was to preside. When
he made his appearance at the door OF the nall he
was quietly arrested, and he gave himself up with
out any attempt at resistance. He even
begged his adherents, TO the number OF several
hundreds not to Interfere lie was conveyed
promptly to prison, where he will have time to
pose and recover his health, somewhat damaged by
the exciting life he has led for couple NJ months
past The meeting spoke Of went on, the plan OF
Hamlet omitted. and 1t was ludcr0us enough 70 be
briefly described. The chair was taken, In the alb.

Here and there, at several different points, small
mobs collected, crying "vlve Rochefort;" but they
