PARIS, WEDNESDAY EVENING.

The rumours put in circulation yesterday of seri-
ous disturbances at Athens are contradicted, and it
seems that so far from French, Russian, and Ana-

trian troops having landed to protect their respec-
tive embassies, under circumstances which were
represented to look like a forcible occupation of the
city, nothing new has taken place. The guards
at the embassies were spontaneously authorised by
the provisional government at the very beginning
of the revolution.

The journals attach great importance to the
cession to France by Radama H. of the port of
Diego Suarez, in Madagascar. Some of them speak
of it vauntingly as a set off against English
aggression. Perhaps they will not object to take
this matter into aocount, if ultimately our influence
iu Greece should be augmented. The France is
careful to observe that the cession has only been
accepted without prejudice to the old claim of
France to the sovereignty of Madagascar.
M. Artom, attachtS to the Italian embassy in
Paris, has been sent for to Tulin, having been
appointed by the new minister, M. Pasolini,
Secretary-General of Foreign A Taira. M. Artom
formerly held the same office under Count Cavour.
The urgent call for reinforcements in Mexico is
ingeniously disguised by the following paragraph
which has been furnished to the papers :
When the expeditionary corps of Mexico was first orga-
nised there was a question 'of providing it with a reserve,
and establishing this reserve at Martinique, so that it might
be ready to go forward at the first order of the commander-
in-chief. The execution of this project was delayed, in
consequence of the great number of transports required to
take out General Forey's army to Mexico, but it is now
revived. The reserve of the army of Mexico will rennet of
a brigade commanded by a general, comprising a battalion
of foot chasseurs, two regiments of infanta', two squadrons
of cavalry, a battery of si .illery, and a company of engi-
neers. It is moreover announced that a depot general of
the army of Mexico will be formed at Martinique, to which
the depots of the corps employed in that army will send their
recruits as soon as they shall have done their drill, in order
that they may be gradually acclimatised. This project wilt
be realised at the Name time as the despatch of the reserve
brigade.

Here is a very pretty blister for the French
army. As fast as the regiments are decimated by
the climate of Mexico more men will be sent out,
not, ostensibly, to recruit General Forey, but to
keep up the depots at Martinique. In this way the
contradiction between the continual movement of
troops and the smooth intelligence which the
21Ieniteur and officious journals will continue to
publish may be rendered less palpable.
The Bourse continues heavy. Rente has expe-
rienced the further fall of 15c. and 10c., the last
prices being 70fr. 40c. and 70fr. 55c. Mobilier
fell 3fr. 75c. The Italian Loan rose 15c. The
Southern Railway fell 20fr. ; the other lines were
only 2fr. or 3fr. lower.
The Daily News is seized.
