Paris Unrest, Papal Letter, and Storm Disasters
INTENSE uneasiness prevails in Paris. Gunsmiths’ shops are closed, all troops are under orders, and foreigners are leaving the capital. Revolution is considered as extremely imminent. THE pope has written an autograph letter to Queen Victoria, thanking her for granting permission to re-establish the Roman hierarchy in Scotland. THERE have recently been disasters by storm and flood. The United States warship, Huron, went down in a terrific gale off the Carolina coast, and out of 139 on board, 105 perished. Virginia, Maryland, and adjacent regions have been the scenes of very destructive floods, causing the loss of millions of dollars’ worth of property in the localities visited by them.
