PARIS, January 26.
The Curate of Saint Jacques officiated last Thursday in his parish with all that decency and calmness which the good ministers of the Catholic religion know how to maintain wherever they are heard. At the hour when the Domine salvum fac Regem (God preserve the King) is sung, one of the crowd thundered out this verse with all the strength of lungs he was master of. The people remained silent and amazed. The Curate immediately ordered the Church doors to be shut, sent for a commissary and assistants, ascended the pulpit, preached union, peace, and above all obedience to the laws; declared that the person who sung Domine salvum fac Regem must be an enemy to the public good and mentioned measures he had taken to be certain of it. He was heard peaceably. The commissary arrived with an armed force and search was made for the guilty person; he was at length discovered.—
But who was it?—One of the members of the Revolutionary Committee of the section! The fact is attested.
