LON DON,

TUESDAY. Aliacii it. isa.

Taoist MARCH 7.
The school of law war closed yesterday by order
of the superior authorities.
Every thing was perfectly tranquil last evening
with regard to the Nlissionariee.
M. Porte's, professor of natural low, bid hime-elf
a few days ago Will down a seditious placard, call-
ing upon the students to join in the won't., of which
the mission at the church of Petits Peres was
evi-
dently only the pretest. When this estimable irides.
star began his lecture yesterday, two or three hisses
were beard. The disturbers were immediately at-
tacked, end driven out by the sound majority of the
pupils; but others, armed with canes did halo*
having came to their assistance, the tumult was re-,
newed iu the square of the church of Si. Genevie►e,
at the other division of the school of law, whither the
students had proceeded in a body to hear the lecture
of M. Poncelet.
The venerable Dean, M. Delvincotirt,and Messrs.
Duranton and Poucelet, proceeded to the scene of
tumult. Already the combatants, divided into two
bodies, appeared ready for action. An imposing
majority had rallied to the cry of " Ilere the Roy-
alists—Vise le Rot!" Another band ranged theta-
selves again►t their, uttering direr. exclamations.
To the cries of " Vive la Charte—nothing but the
Charter I" there was mixed, es is attested by
persons present, the expression of the most se-
ditious prayer. It is said that money was dis-
tributed at some distance to men dressed as trades-
men. Tue Dean and the professors exhausted all
their efforts in vain to quiet the misguided youth,
whet the genad'armes arrived, and made the cham-
pions retreat to the courts of the school, and barred
the passage. The young men, among whom irri.
tattoo was increasing every moment, demanded the
removal of the getbstiarmene. M. Durantoo went out
in his costume of professor, harangued the students,
and then the gensd'armes, whom he prOVinled upon
to withdraw. The students then spiced over the
square, and the tumult recommenced. The repre-
sentations of the professors with difficulty Imitated
the riot, which did not end till half-past four
o'clock. The young men who had at first dieWn
hostile feelings to M. Portels, appeared to yield less
to the remonstrances of their professors thau to the
number of their atitagliniste.
