The Journal du Commerce of April 5, states, that “an ordinance of the mayor of Toulouse, dated the 28th of march, prohibits the killing of hogs, and the sale of them for food from the 1st of April.” It seems that no more mercy is shown to the swine, than to the people. This may be retaliation; the revolutionists having after Louis’ first restoration, ordered a “fat hog for one Napoleon.”
