FRANCE.

PARIS, MONDAY, 6.30 r.m.
The Patric of yesterday evening says We have
announced that M. de Brunow had received in London
the order of the Russian government to act in the
Greek question in concert with the French embus'.
dor. Tee note in which these instructions were given
arrived in Paris yesterday, and was read by M. de
Kisseleff to the minister of foreign affAirs. We are
assured that it expresses great dissatisfaction at the
proceeding of Lord Palmerston towards Greece. The
note commence • with these words:—'The emperor,
my master, has learned with a surprise mingltd with
indignation, etc.,' and ending with the following :
' You will ask Lord Palmerston to what event be pro-
poses to employ force in suppvt of his demands, in
order that the allies of King Otho may occupy them-
selves with the means of guaranteeing his independ-
ence and that of his people."
There is no news to send this afternoon. There is
only a rumour on town that the government will
allow Rome to be garrisoned by Austrian and Neapo-
litan troops, and that, the four powers having a force
in the capital, there will be no obstacle to the Pope's
return. _

In the Chamber to-day the Paris and Avignon bill
wu stall under debate, M. Cremieux being at the
tribune.

The Conaligutionnef, in its weeklj summary of the
movement of the Bourse, says:
The week has been one full of apprehensions of different
kinds to speculators, and the fluctuations have been nume-
rous. In adcbtion to the monthly settlement, tendered diffi-
cult from the amount of the time-bargain,, alarm was
created every day by reports more or lees serious with regard
to our foreign relatioty. If we add to these causes fur
a fall, the large delivery of securities which took place
at the settling. we may rather be utonished that the
fall has not been greater, and it has only been prevented
by the large orders for purchases which arrived from
the provinces. There is no doubt but that the anearteinty
which still exists on the subject of the Lyons and Avignon
railway contributes much to prevent an improvement in
'sates. When once speculators are assured that the state
will not have to procure the means of executing this great
fins on its own account, they will resume their action on the
public fucde, but until then they will hold back. Bank of
France shares, which had suddenly improved, have again
fallen, as the late return, do not show anything very favour-
able to the shareholders. Railway 'hares have been
generally looking down. Northern have fallen 16 fr. 25c.,
and been constantly offered. It appears decided on that
the directors will propose to the shareholders, at the gene-
, ral meeting, a call for the supplementary 100 fr., io order
to effect sooner the reimbursement of the sums due to the
state, and to provide the funds necessary for the execution
of the line to tdanbeuge. It is true that the company, in
exchange for these new charges, is to obtain an extension of
their concession from 38 to 99 yeses, but the necessity of
paying 100 fr., which the company had officially renounced,
has produced an unfavourable effect among the stareholdets,
who are not all provided with the mesas of meeting this new
dernacd. It is, however, said that if the arrangement in
question is definitively adopted by the Cnamber, the coot-
'may will be able to pay a good dividend for 1849, the
amount of which will gib to lighten the first call made on
the 100 fr.
