[MORNING POST.]
' ESPRLSS FROM PAtus.—We regret to find that
fresh disorders broke out on Thursday last at
the College of Henry IV., but at the date of the
last accounts there was every appearance of
peace and subordination being restored. There
are alarming reports from Lyons of General
Berton being at Grenoble at the head of an army
of 8000 men, with which he was about to march
towards Lyons. We do not, however, attach
any degree of consequence to these statements,
which appear to have been anonymously made.
The activity of the Magistrates on this occasion
is nevertheless highly laudable. On the letters
being put into their hands, they took the neces-
sary measures for discovering the author of such
alarming reports.—lt is also stated that informa-
tion had been received by the telegraph of a
seditious movement at Pont Beauvoison (Isere),
and of the arrest of the guilty.

[MORNING lIERALD.I
The Paris Papers received yesterday contain
several foreign articles, the tenor of which, if
they might be relied on, would induce the belief
that hostilities between the Turks and Russians
were on the eve of commencing. But it is un-
necessary to repeat that long experience of these
accounts has stripped them of all credit. We
subjoin a few of the most specific in their state-
ments. Among our extracts
,will be observed
a pretended letter from the lonian Isles, stating
the debarkation, in a mysterious manner, of
an English'crew and officers, severely wounded,
after. an engagement—and dressed in Turkish
costume. It is evidently a mere fabrication for
the purpose of rendering the British name odious
in the eyes of Europe. It is utterly false that
British officers have entered the Turkish service,
which, and the Mussulman religion and laws,
render morally impossible. We give from the
Quotidienne a French version of the sounding of
the tocsin in one of the villages of the South.—
The alarm is now said to have been caused, not
by a Parisian dancing-master, but by a retired
officer, in the disguise of a peasant. In Paris all
is tranquil, and the Law School has been re.
opened with precautions, as to admission, which
are designed to exclude all who are not students.

['BRITISH PRESS.]
The French Chamber of Deputies is engaged
in discussing the several articles forming the law
of the Budget. The vote respecting the expellees
of the foreign department gave occasion, during
the Sittings of two days, to some discussion upon
the commercial policy ,and foreign relations
of France. The late Ministry, said M. Bignon,
was looked upon as Russian, and it surren-
dered Italy to Austria ; the present Ministry
is characterised as English ; " and you," said
he, addressing the Ministers, " give up the
hopes of liberty in Greece to gratify Great
Britain." The Member complained that the
commercial interests of France were neglected
by all parties, and urged that the French
Cabinet ought to recognise the independence of
the South American Governments, and form
commercial relations with them. To these seve-
ral points the Minister for Foreign Affairs ad-
dressed himself in the sitting of Wednesday. He
disclaimed the imputation that the interests of
France were betrayed in her foreign relations
to gratify any other Power ; that, with regard
to Italy, every thing had been done by the
French Government wh►ch could conciliate ani-
mosities and mitigate the evil consequences of
a military revolt ; that France was negociating
at that moment, through an able Minister, with
the Republic of North America, for a renewal
of commercial relations ; and as to the popular
Governments of South America, he contended
that it became the policy as well as the character
of France to pursue a principle of neutrality be-
tween the contending parties, and not to recog-
nise the new institutions until ti►e contest had
fully terminated. This conduct he justified by
reference to England and the United States of
North America, which have as yet adhered to
this principle.

[THE TIMES.]
There is diligently circulated in this country
the substance of Sir Thomas Maitland's Address
to the Legislative Assembly of the locdan Islands,
on the 4th of last March. This Address may be
supposed to contain the Governor's " case," re-
specting whose conduct there is so very general
distaste both' at home and abroad. It is often
difficult to come to a just decision on reading the
pleadings only on one side ; and woe betide the
wight that in this instarice ventures to plead on
the other. The powerful party, however, can
have no just cause to complain of an, opinion
conscientiously derived 'from his own representa-
tion. The Address is to the Legislative Assem-
bly. Is the Legislative Assembly, then, at liberty
to disapprove as well as to'approve of its tenour
Under that kind of liberty, we apprehend, which''
a free agent might have to thrust his hand into a
fire, or to keep it out. If he studies his comfort, he
will adopt the latter course : if he is in love with
pain, let him pursue the former. , All that re-
mains for us or the public to do at present, is to
notice such conclusions as may seem just from
this ex-parte document.

[MORNING CHRONICLE.]
Our readers will find an account, in another
part of our Paper, of a Mpeting of West India
Planters,. on Friday last, (See TUE SUN of Sa-
turday last), on the subject of a Communication
to them from the President of the Board of
Trade, of his intention to bring.in a Bill to allow
of a direct intercourse between the West India
-s and North America. Such a measure
'seen resorted to just in time to save the
• Colonies from total ruin. By cut-
om those supplies from the United
are necessary to their cultivation,
them to obtain lumber, &c. else-
