a very short stay. The dull condition of trade is loudly
complained of.

The idea of burning the corpses which have not been properly buried has
been abandoned; it is proposed to exhume all those buried in the Parc
des Monceaux, the Jardin du Luxembourg, and other temporary burial
places, and to transfer them to a new cemetery beyond Fort Vanves.

One hundred and fifty pretended firemen were executed yesterday at
Versailles.

The Commander of the 9th Army Corps of Paris has issued a notice,
