EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

At eight o'clock yesterday evening, I was informed that
the troops were pouring fast towards the Hotel de Ville.
to suppress great riots, which were commencing in the
densely populous parts of the city, at each side of the river,
in that quarter. Knowing the ciaggeration usually at-
tendant upon these rumoures I hastened myself to the spot,
where I found a great body of infantry and cavalry sol-
diers. The National Guards had taken post in the Place
du Chatelet, and stopped all the avenues which lead into
it. They also extended some companies acme, the quay,
/raving only a small passage for the inhabitants, admit-
ring one at a time next the parapet to approach the bridges.
On advancing by this opening, I reached the place of the
Hotel de Ville with some difficulty. Here again I found
the National Guards occupying the square, and stop_
ping all the avenues leading let, it from the direc-
tion of the Fauxbourg St. Antoine. All the bridg,s
from the Pont Neuf to the small bridge beyond Notre Dame
were occupied with strong cavalry troops and light in-
fantry of the line, end piequeta from both were thrown for-
ward in all direction. I heard in the neighbourhood of
-hese places that groups of rioters alai been shouting and
breaking lamps at night-fall, but they had all disappeared
when I wit on the spot, and the people who thronged the
neighbourhood seemed actuated by mere curiosity ; the
tradesmen wet e every where complaining of being obliged
to shut up their shops night after night by these pro-
c,.eslings. These military precautions were continued un-
til midnight ; but I have not heard during the night or
this day that these tumults have re-appeared. A charge
of a troop of hussars would, I am satisfied, pro lute a
wonderful effect upon any of these bands of rioters.
The war feeling seems rather, I think, to decline here ;
people are eenerally becoming more tired of party excite.
mint, and desirous to settle down into tranquillity. Even
"nle wl,u wire warm partisans of Belgium begin to think
that the Be'gians are becoming too combative.

The Minister for Foreign Affairs received yesterday de-

that the rnonster,:as Don Miguel is now appropriately cha

to listen to any sentiments of justice or moderation in be-

PARIS, SATURDAY EVENING.
" The King will in person prorogue the Chambers on
... nesday or Wednesday next, and preparations are making
wto give eclat to this constitutional ceremony. Yesterday
the Ministers obtained a vote of 1,500,000 francs, to de
fray the extraordinary police expenditure of the current
year. This is an additional sum to the extraordinary ex-
' penditnre, and understood to be principally applicable
0 "to the most odious of all items of Government expenditure,
secret service money. M. de Corcelles yesterday super-
induced, upon the discussion of this vote, a lively alter-
cation upon the expenditure incurred 'oy France in peo-
vriding arms for her defence, and with the lid of M.
Gaetan Murat, he illustrated his views by producing, to the
amazement of his auditors, two muskets, one tnanufaetureti
in England, had and dear; and the 'other in 'France, of
course the perfection of mechaniam and 'economy This
unusual mode of brandishing fier-aems to prove facts in a
legislative assembly, was repressed by the President, and
the guns were removed from the Chamber to " the hall of
conference." What there became of them or their owners
did not publicly appear.
'The police of this metropolis certainly require some
stimulus to insure the discharge of their functions. No-
thing has been more Oaring than their utter inefficiency
during the last eventful six months. That plete have
abounded there can be no doubt: such s ttovolution as
that of July could not have been achieved without bring-
ing many in its train ; and if the scattered elements of
there sources of combustion can be extinguished by any
new application of secret service-money, the rote of yes-
terday will not be misapplied.
/he riots, as you will see by the Paris papers, con-
tinue, and vagabonds of all denominations are permitted
to stalk about with impunity, uttering furious and non-
sensical cries; smashing the windows of shopkeepers for
eport—draeging down and trampling upon lantps--dia-
erming isolated military posts—insulting individuals of the
National Guard—displaying banners and standards with
all kinds of mottoes,—and this work of riot and dis-
order lass being going on at intervals every day and night
of this week since Tuesday. It will scarcely be credited
that these disgraceful scenes were, perpetrated by small
bands of miscreants, in the seat and under the eye of a
Government calling itself firm, in the midst of an armed
body of 100,000 National Guards, and in the presence of
a garrison of 10,000 troops of the line.
The ruin of the trade of the capital is one of the sad
consequences of these repeated tumults. At this !won of
the year the silk and lace trades used to be in full activity :
they are now almost annihilated, the shopkeepers doing little
or nothing, and the Lyons and Caen manufacturers are
chiefly finding a vent for their goods among the English
wholesale purchasers. Some of these manufacturers have
declared to me, that until they had actually seen the state
of the trade at this moment in the capital, they could not
have believed in the extreme depreciation. All too concur
in the primary cause,—the daring impunity with which
these riots are constantly attended, the uneasiness they in-
spire, and the abaci-ace from, the capital, which they ne-
cessarily produc:.:, of that demand for vat ious articles which
country visi"..ers at Christmas and Easter were heretofore
aecustorr,ed to furnish.
Wtence this tenderness for mobs ? If we believe the
M-agistrates, they are mostly composed of liberated felons
and convicts, who have finished their periods of sentence
in the gallies. Are the flesh and bones of these marauders
so precious, that they are not to be trodden upon by
horses' feet, or carved a little by hussars' sabres, while
perpetrating tumults which compromise the national cha-
racter, and cast into idleness and starvation the honest and
the industrious ? But it seems the King will not have
" the blood of Frenchmen shed_ by Frenchmen," and even
the guillotine has had an eight months respite, to the
great comfort of murderers and assassins who ought to
have long since shouldered its axe, to accommodate this
weak and mistaken humanity.
A Minister of the crown ought, however, to redeem his
own responsibility in such times, and assert the dominion
of his Government. It is said, however, that the riots of
this week were contemptible, and were merely the at.
*orient of the trial of the students and others, who were
acquitted yesterday: so much the more slime for the an-
Amities to have permitted their continuance during so
many.days. I caw the beginning and the end of them,—
that ia; if last night be the finale of dilate movements. I
was at eleven o'clock-on Tuesday morning near the Hotel
de Vile, where I Observed an unusual concourse of people.
It is the place were workmen of ail kinds usually assemble
early in the morning, is seek daily employment; the
crowd itself did not appear to me extraordinary, when I
considered the large number of unemployed persons who
now throng this metropolis ; but in the midst of it I ob-
served about twenty or thirty lads from fifteen to eighteen
years of age, who were making what a similar ckts
ola
fellows in London would in vulgar phraseology call " a
lark,"....that is, they were flinging sticks, and cape, and
hats about, splashing each other with water; the fellows
did not apparently suffer touch from hunger, for I saw
them kick about for their amusement a poor country-
woman's basket of cakes. I should have thought that one
dorm policemen could have seized the ring!eatieta of these
rioters, and whipped and ducked them st the adjoining
fountain. Nevertheless, for the half hour that I remained
a looker-on, these pastimes were permitted with impunity,
until the National Guards on duty at the _prefecture be-
came tired" of the noise, end drove the vagabonds *Way
from their neighbourhood. I have heard that at the same
hour on Wedneaday morning the same persons were at
their old work in the place before the Hotel de Ville, but
that they were flogged away from it by the poor labouring
men who were then assembled-in search of employment,
and who are, perhaps, the greatest sufferers by this con•
stant disturbance of the public peace,
I have heard from various quarters that these knots of
rioters, some • with sticks brandishing over passengers'
heads, others with flags and republican insignia, have
leen every day in those parts of the city where workmen
generally reside, such as the fauxbnurgs of the I 3 the and
the Pantheon, creating tumult and disturbance, and in
some instances disarming individuals of the National
Guard ; there have been, I likewise learn, some arrests
made of them, but in no instance a prompt example while
the lamp-breaking and standard-flourishing were in active
progress.

Tagus will have some influence upon the decisions of th's
tyrant and his minions.

I ought to mentionthat the Ministers have sent to Bt I-
gium the strongest remonstrances against the conduct of
the violent party it the !Netherlands, who wish to plunge
all t urope into war. The Luxemburg question will be
referred to negociation, and not permitted to be carried by
storm, as the Belgic politicians had insisted it should be.
'You will see in the accounts received this morning from
the head-quarters of Marshal Diebit•ch, according to the
version given in the Berlin State Gazette, that the nus-
sians affect to think as nothing the latt glorious actions
of the Poles.

OULON, At'ltlL 11.
If preparations indicate war, here we have them in
abundance, end theie ^a daily arrivals of artillery waggons,
harness, and !liaises, from Toulouse. In all the villages

activity. Six batteries of artillery are ordered to be in
immediate readiness for service froth Ode place. Several
frigates and sloops of war are alto rapidly arming. The
Armide frigate has just arrived from Leghorn and Elba:
another frigate and a brig have arrived from Civita Vecchia,
which they left on the 9th instant; they have brotiitt
four passengers from the insurgent states, and despatches,
but no particulars of netrs later than that already received.
Letters lust received flout Greece announce that the
liellenitta, who inhabit that part of Romelitt without the
asligned limits of new Greece, are carrying on a tan-
guinary war with the Turks. These Romenoott have de-
manded succour from the President tipo &Istria, but he
refused compliance on the ground that such a step would
commit him with the great Powers, who are mediators in
the cruse of Greece: he offered, however, to distribute in
new Greece, such of them as would enter at refugees from
Turkish Romelia. This offer they indignantly spurned.
The Prefect of the Vas has authorized the removal of
the retrains of Captain Vallee, who was judiciously assassi-
nate,/ for his devotion to the cause of liberty. The inha-
bitants of Toulon will celebrate, in the most solemn manner
this patriotic ceremony, and raise by subscription a modest
monument to the memory of this victim of despotism.
