sense of the chamber in the form of • vote to the
of the day, and all the supporters of the cabhiet
had been summoned for this purpose, including many
who had gone to enjoy the spectacle of the rams at
Chantilly. The event proved, however, either that
no each intention had been entertained, or that on
more mature consideration it had been abandoned, and
the minister resorted, with his usual dexterity and suc-
cess, to the smothering proms, which haa more than once
already in the present session served him. The ex-
ptsnations turned oat to be no explanations at all.
M. Guizot merely affirmed the royal power of die-
miseing ministers, and denied the legitimacy of any
claims on the part of the opposition to an lans.

tion. No ono could discover, hearing his spwch, any
other reason for the rade expulsion of the three ex-
ministera, except that MM. Guizot and Duchatel
found it good to dismiss them.
The interval between Tuesday and Friday (the
delay obtained for the delivery of the explanations)
was adroitly turned to profit as regarded M. Lacey°.
Laplagne, whose revelations were most feared. The
ex-minister was waited upon in the chamber, on
Thursday, by an aide-decamp of the King, bearing
• letter from his Majesty expressing a wish to see M.
Lacave.Laplagne at the chiteau. The result was
two visits, one private in the morning, and the other
at a public reception on Thursday evening. What
occurred at the former did not transpire, but its
effect was manifest. M. Lacave-Laplagne was as
mild as a dove in his speech on Friday, which was
ignited to some sentences of • kind ..a admonitory
tendency, addressed to the conservative majority in
which the recent important schism has taken place,
the honourable ex-minister advising the dissentients
to forget and forgive, and to shake hands and, be
friends, disclaiming at the same time any intention on
his own part of being &Melted by feelings of resent-
ment for the affront which had been put upon him
by his colleagues..
Thus, to the great disappointment of the public, and
discomfiture of the oppmation, ended the explanations,
not occupying an hour of the session of the chamber.
The popular disturbances which have broken out in
Lille and other northern towns, are said to have been
produced in reality by political causes connected with
communism, although they have passed as food riots.
Ramifications of these have been manifested in Paris,
where several individuals were &riveted by the police
on Friday and Saturday, among whom was M. Con-
sidere, an individual already rendered notorious in like
disturbances.
M. Duchatel, Minister of the Interior, whose indis-
position has been generally supposed to be nothing
more than a pretext for absence from affairs daring
the late crisis, proves to be in reality seriously indis-
posed. He is reported to be affected by an inter-
mittent fever, and was to have left Paris for Havre,
on Saturday.
Intelligence was received in Paris confirming a re-
port which we mentioned some weeks ago, of the
intention of the Grand Duke of Tuscany to relax the
system of prohibition which has hitherto prevented
the circulation of intelligence in his states, by means
of the press. A law has been promulgated on the
7th inst., establishing the liberty of the press in the
Tuscan States, under certain prescribed conditions and
regulations. This law, which consists of forty arti-
cles, was published and posted up in all quarters of
Florence on the 7th. The restrictions are as gentle
as are consistent with the circumstances of a public
entering, for the first time, into the enjoyment of
a power subject to such extensive and dangerous
abuses. Nothing could exceed the enthusiasm mani-
fested by the people of Florence on the announcement
of this ordonnance. More than three thousand per-
sons collected round the palace, uttering exclamations
favourable to the duke and his family. The grand
duke being then absent, his duchess and children pre-
sented themselves upon the balcony, and received the
salutations of the people. The return of the grand
duke was expected on the 14th, when a brilliant re-
ception was prepared for him. The same popular
demonstrations were made at the hovels of the

ministers.
Two days previous to this a proceeding of a diffe-
rent character took place at Pisa, on the occasion of
the funeral of Professor Carnignani, who was noted
for his retrograde opinions. The following report of
these proceedings is given by the Constitutions&
Early in the morning the atudents were in a state of agita-
tion, and precautionary measures became neessaary for pre-
serving public order. A placard was posted up at the gate
called Alle nine, with the words ' Long live Plus IX.' All
the inhabitants went in a mass, took it dawn, and carried it
is procession through the town, shouting, Leng live our
Sovereign Pontiff !" The independence of Italy for ever I'
' The Liberty of the Press!' Death to the Austrians!'
' Death to the Jessita!' Still no violence was committed.
The crowd, amounting to nearly 3,000, contented themselves
with making a cbarivari under the windows of the Vicar-
General, who had formerly endeavoured to introduce the
Jesuits into Pisa, and then before the palace of the governor
of the city cried ' Long live Perristori ! Long live Pius IX. !'
Having made these pacific demonstrations, the assemblage
quietly dispersed

The Madrid journals of the 9th and 10th contain
no other intelligence of interest than the reports of
the proceedings in regard to the recent alleged
attempt on the queen. The following details are
taken from the Madrid journal called the Peslor :

riage and proceeded to the .booting-gallery of Armand,
