FRENCII PAPERS.

Yesterday we received the
journals of Monday morning
and evening.
[From the Etoik of Tuesday.]
VIENNA, APRIL h.
It is assured that Prince Aletternieh has received from his Catho-
lic Majesty the title of Grandee of Spain.
The King heard mass in his apartments.
PARIS, Aren. 19.
The Roynl Goan of Spain calls at present the attention of the
public and that of our first capitalists, which has been for these
ten months at 614, a nominal price; but it has all at once awakened
from that lathier,' y, and every day gives it fresh life, with import-
ant optrations.—French Rentes, on the 111th April. opened for
money at 102 f. 50c. ; end of the month, 1031. 10c.; Neapolitan,
96; Spanish, 161.
(From the Pikte, dated Tuesday.]
It is remarkable that none of the journals have mentioned an
event which happened near Paris, and the consequeietes of which
have been serious. The following are the particulars hi Thurs.
day last the English workmen, to the number of fifty, of the iron.
foundry of Mr. Wilson, at Charcnton, armed dictum:lien with
sticks, and, ranging through the Commune of Carricres, attacked
and ill-treated all the peaceable inhabitants. It is said thxt a
boatman, who was returning home tranquilly, was attacked by one
of these madmen, and received a severe wound in his breast from a
knife. 'l'he inhabitants, forced to repel force by force, then threw
themselves upon the English, and several were woundul : one in-
habitant had his arm broken, and we are assured that even women
and children were so ill treated as to have their lives endangered.
They have been admitted to the hospital of Charenton. The
authorities of Paris instantly sent a corps of gendarmerie to Chasten-
ton, whom the inhabitants were compelled to lodge. [We sus-
pect this account to be a gross exaggeration.]
BAYONNE. APRIL 13.

It will be recollected that an Englishman, Aide-de-Camp to
Thep, was made prisoner with his General, and conducted to the
prisons of 51adrid. The British Cabinet having claimed him, he
has been released, and passed through this place yesterday, having
with hint a pigton which took refuge in his ptison.
We hear fmm Madrid that the King has arrived at Toledo.
