SO1e OF our European papers contain an ac-
countof an attack made by body of foreign
soldiers belonging to the garrison Of Pavia; in
Italy, or some of the students of the University
in that City. AS this unhappy affair lad its
origin from circumstances of little consequence
and several inoffcnsivc and very promising youths
were the sufferers, the Indignation which it ex-

ment which employs such rigorous means to Sc
cure its authority


number of students from the University hav-
ing gone to bathe without the CITY, had exposed
themselves to the censure of the laws; but in
stead ofprocccding in such case with modera-
tion or miltlness, body of gendarmes were sent
to march them publicly through the streets and
shut them up IN prison. The authorities of the
University demanded them, but were refused;
and several hundred citizens, with about fifty Of
their fellow students, becoming anxious at the !
detention, assembled at the gate Of the prison.
The magistrates then determined to release theii
prisoners; but sent them out by secret door
SO that the delverance was not known to the
crowd, who, not dispensing, were charged by
party Of gendarmcs with the bayonet A few
ofthe citizens defended themselves with swords
when some 'fyrolese dragons Immediately fired
and a number Of lives were lost, principally thos
of young students who had taken no active par
in the affair. One was a we'll educated youth o
fifteen, belonging to the city, remarkable forhi
attachment to study, who was shot dead on step
ping from neighbouring house. Another, Q
the same character, had just left his chamber
