In the month of January, 1849, the General-in-Chief of the army of Paris, Changarnier, having taken vigorous measures to prevent new tumults, the first verse of the original, which commences—
"Madame Veto avait promis
De faire égorger tout Paris,"
was thus parodied:
"Changarnier avait promis
De faire brûler tout Paris," &c.
PERIERGUS BIBLIOPHILUS.
General James Wolfe (Vol. iv., p. 271.).
—The late Admiral Frank Sotheron, of Kirklington Hall, near Southwell, Notts, was, I have heard, related to Wolfe, and possessed a portrait and several letters of his. Admiral Sotheron died some ten years ago, but his daughter (and only child) married the present member for Wilts, who afterwards took the name of Sotheron.
