An alarming riot took place at Bamberg on the
night of the 3d inst. During the tumult the home
of the burgomaster, llirr Kellingliusen, was ran.
sacked from top to bottom. Numerous rioters weal
arrested. The next day the burgomaster resigned bin
functions. According to the latest intelligence as
was quiet.
Fiom the Grand Duchy of Baden we learn that at
Carlsruhe, on the 3th, the Minister of the laterite
had addressed to the second chamber of the
States a letter containing what foilows

the legislation of the country suffices. 2nd. As to
what concerns duty towards the constitution;
as early as the 17th Septemba, DM, a new foam

by the chamber have been attended to in that re.

6. For the abolition of feudal rights ; fur the supple.

It appears by the Cologne Casette and the Deatscha
Zealot!, that the inhabitants of Leipsic are gristly
dissatisfied' with ".the answer given by the king st
Saxony on the 3rd inst. to the depute, iun of the town
council that presented a petition in favour of reform.
The excitement was semen hat allayed by the an.
nouncement that the municipal authorities had re.
solved to meet on the next day (the 4th), in order to
draw up an address for the dismissal of ministers.

PARIS, TUESDAY.
From an occasional Corre.lorrt,
This 18 Mardi Grad in Paris (Fat Tut Kisy ), the leg
day of Carnival, the finest weather possible, and every
soul on the Boulevar's gaily dist-sod and gaily look-
ing m popinjays, but well behaved, with no masks,
no noise, no songs. Yet whilst this gay atal
well-
dressed crowd began to throng the Boulevards, g
different scene took place at no great distance. It
seems that a band of some four bundled armsd

---
v•cluals had, after the capture of the Tuileries, re
solved to remain in it, and make it their quarters.
They slept on the sofas, such u were not broken, got
camp beds, slept, lived, cooked, and made them-
selves at home in the Tuileries. The authorities

copied the guard-houses with the national guard, bat
one of this band always stationed himself as sentry '
alongside of the national guard sentry. It was soon
found that these gentry were not of the most honest
kind. For they contrived to force open doors and
drawers, and to pass objects of value through the
gratings of the Tuileriee, to companions outride. At
first, food was sent to them, as to soldiers un a pod,
but this being withheld they contrived to procure
some. At last the Prefect, Caussidiere, begged them
to dislodge. They refused flatly, declared that they
had fitly rounds of ammunition per man, and amid
first set tire to the chateau, it' attack( d, and they
fight their way out. How dislodge these desperate
men ? An assault could scarcely be asked of the ~tood
citizens who compose the national guard Police
there is as yet noue. The soldiers have declined at-
tacking the people. The only corps that could be got
were the youth of the College of St. Cyr—i. e., the
sons of the best families of the kingdom. The pris
feet accepted their offer of reducing the brigands;
and the latter were summoned last night. In reply,
they offered to decamp on condition that each one of
them was to have a pension of 8(10 francs a year, and
that none of them were to be searched on march.
ing out. The prefect refused these honest terms,
and gave them till ten this morning to submit.
At ten this morning the boys of St. Cyr, well-armed,
marched into the court of the Tuileries, with a
crowd of Parisians gathered thousands strong, to
witness the fun of the chateau taken by assault.
They were in part disappointed ; for the brigands,
frightened at the determined aspect of the St. Cyf
scholars, consented to march out without setting fire
to the palace. Some were searched ; all had dollars
in abundance. Some were marched to the Hotel de
Ville, and acme escaped. 'too much praise cannot be
bestowed on the scholars of St. Cyr.
Some fears begin to be entertained of the results at
M. Lamartine's circular ; although no one doubts the
views of NI. Lamartine himself to be pacific. Whilst
Neufchatel has flung off the yoke of Pt mail and made
litself wholly Swiss, Geneva, it appears, is anxious rot
to be Swiss, and to become French. M. Fray beg
come from Geneva to Paris to negotiate its annelatim;
and as the Genevese government and people desire an-
nexation it will be impossible to refuse then'. But it is
almost impossible to take Geneva without a poitionof
Savoy along with it. Savoy appertained to France
according to the treaties of 1814 ; and it is to the fron-
tier of 1814 that M. Lamartine would recur. Bat
Piedmont, however anxious to oblige France, and to
have its support, would, of course, only cede Savoy on
the condition of bring indemuified with the Milanese.
It is an arrangement not at all unlikely to take place.
The news from Spain is no less stirring than from
the Italian frontier. The moderados weaned madly in-
clined to affront republican France. They have ordered
an army to be collected on the frontier, and have bents
Duke to bring back the Duchess of Nlontpensier.
They had better leave the little duchess where she
She suffered more than any of the royal family.
Haviug been left behind in the Tuileries she took re-
fuge in a wood closet, and put on a servant's clothe
and apron, whilst the mob got possession of her hies
bonnet, and bore it about on a pike. In disguise
the duchess succeeded in reaching on foot, through
the invaders of the chateau, the embassy of Portu
from whence she was conducted to England by CoL
lhierry. It has proved a sorry match fur the Infanta
—she has lost for ever the two millions of francs wrung
from the Spanish government at the time of the mar-
riages. The last of this money was paid away but a
week ago for the purchase of a forest near Poitiers,
now under sequestration. So much for the rate of
one of the royal heroines of the Spanish marriages.
Active measures are taking for supporting el
restoring credit. A committee has sat to-day :it is
thought there will he an issue of hoes do free r, cot
fur the purpose of keeping up the credit of the banks,
but for enabling the provincial towns to supply the
population with work. Much of the tranquillity of
the kingdom depends on the latter object be

BRUSSELS, MARea 7.
The Belgian government have taken the first step
towards clearing this country of " obnoxious " foreign-
ers ; bat this first step has been a singularly impru-
dent one, and moreover one very likely to give deep
and lasting offence to numerous Belgians. A German
litterateur named Marx, who was formerly the editor
of a Rhenish paper, and who, during his residence
Brussels, bas been chiefly occupied wi h the study et
political economy, has been marched off to the freer
tiers, and expelled from the hitherto hospitable soil of
Belgium. only fault appears to be that he was a
leading member of the so-caller' " Democratical In-
ter national Association" of Belgium. lie was arrested
whilst in bed, dragged away from hi,: wife andfamillt
conveyed to prison, where he was detained all nie,
and the next morning conveyed to the frontier. Ws
wife, a German lady, most respectably connected in
the Rhenish provinces, was also thrown into prison in
the company of some unfortunate women. This affair
has caused the greatest excitement amongst the nu-
merous members of the association referred to.

ROME, Fell. 2.8:
The indefatigable Ventura came out yesterday with
a new pamphlet, the topic being, the contemplated
chamber of peers, as part of the Roman constitnuonal
charter. The eloquent, but not very judicious, Padre,
maintains that this territory, being in quite an excep
tional and unprecedented position (seti genera),
15
quires a distinct recognition of the ecclesiastical
element in its ruling power ; and hence he will not
admit lords from the laity in his Utopian upper bocce,
but would confine it to the red stockings! Was there
ever auch balderdash seriously propounded in the face
of modern Italy ? Of all other districts, the Roman
dominions contain the largest and richest landed pro-
prietary ; and the Roman princes, from their wealth,
ancestry, and alliances, form the proudest and mat
aristocratic caste in Europe s nobility. lbo
