France is in a dreadfully disturbed state. How the
very frame-work of society can resist the shocks which
'it receives in so many quarters is surprising. But the
riots at Macon, at Clermont, and at Paris. on Saturday
and Sunday nights—of which full details are given in
another part of The Sun—are for the moment forgotten
'in the general indignation at the atrocious attempt to
assassinate one of the French Princes. The name of
this wretch is Nicholas Papart.- He is about twenty-
seven years of age, and supposed to be merely the agent
of one of the secret societies. Fortunately for the •
Royal family of France, French assassins are as bud
shots as the Irishman who fired at a hay stack at ten
paces distant, and missed it ! A jury of sportsmen
would hang them for the abuse of their weapons.
In, the riot at Macon four prsons were killed, two
mortally wounded, and six very severely injured.
Orders Were given by the. Mayor for the closing of all
the coffee-houses at six o'clock in the evening.
The seizure of the National fOr stating in its article
relative' to the disturbance•at Macon, that " the Govern-
ment neglects no opportunity of habituating the troops
to shed the blood of the people," is indignantly com-
mented upon by that journal. It contends, that had it
told all the truth, the account would have been far loss
'palatable to the Court.
A report was circulated in Paris and Madrid that
the French Government was about to send the Count
de Flahaut Ambassador to Spain, because an Ambassador
has the privilege of delivering letters into the hands of the
Sovereign, and thus Christina could communicate •di-
reedy with her daughters. We cannot believe that
King Louis Philippe will lend his name to .this foul
attempt against the Spanish Government. It is impos-
sible that he should concur in a scheme for poisoning the
young Queen's mind against the only men in Spain who
have shown themselves capable of saving the Throne
and the Constitution.
We learn from Philadelphia that much excitement has
been caused in the United States by the imprisonment
of Mr. Cross, the American Consul at Matanzas, in
Cuba, by order of the Spanish authorities. It appears
that Mr. Cross divided the property of an Atneri,,an
woman who died there without making a will among
her relatives. This property was claimed by the Spanish
authorities, to be distributed according to Spanish law,
and for resisting them the Governor-General ordered
Mr. Cross to be imprisoned. Mr. Cross has demanded
the protection of his Government, and the affair is likely
to produce some noise, which may sound unpleasantly in
Madrid.

211—ISCMIMANZOITS.
A great Chartist meeting was announced to be held
yesterday at Salisbury, which was expected to be addressed
uy Vincent and other liberated Chartists. A requisition
had been sent to the To:y Mayor for the use of the
Council Chamber; if he refused, it was to be a torch-light
meeting.
A church-rate having been stubbornly refused by a
majority at Hackney, a
.voluntary subscription has been
set on toot by the minority to help the Church champions.
A fine schooner, named the Lady of the Lake, lett
the London-docks on Tuesday for Constantinople, whose
cargo is the whole of the machinery required for the
Imperial Mint of that place, manufactured by. Messrs.
Maudslay, Sons, and Field. The whole is supposed to
be worth nearly 30,00 a
Sevent) -three gold and silver prize medals were dis-
tributed at the floral exhibition of the Horticultural So-
ciety on Tuesday, in the Surrey Zoological Gardens.
Upwards of 18,0 a) persons passed through the. gates, and
the show of dahlias was superb.
Saint George's-hall, in the Winter Palace, Peters-
burgh, which lately fell in, was of such magnificence,
that the Carrara marble used in it alone was valued at
600,000 francs. The throne of Ivan was one of the
curiosities it contained.

• ? !TIMIC olyx-AacaAr.
The Chronicle in reference to the report that Sir R.
Peel intends to repeal thenew Postage Act has the follow-
ing remarks :—" Were we actuated by a merely factious
spirit of opposition to the new Ministry, we should de-
stre nothing better than that they should commence their
legislative and financial blunders by meddling with the
Penny Postage. But we have a deep interest in the
success of the measure ; it is one of those few practical
matters which Speak to the people in a practical way,
telling them that the machinery of Government is used,
not for their oppression, but for their mural, social, and
intellectual- elevation ; and P we had access to Sir
Robert Peel, we would earnestly entreat him, if it were
only for his own sake, not to meddle with the Penny
Postage." .
The Timec, after attributing the repeated attempts to
assassinate the Royal J?amily of France to the infidel
works of Volney and Voltaire, thus describes the pre-
sent position of Louis Philippe :--" There is, perhaps,
scarely an individual in public life in Europe at this
moment, whose peculiar position and personal anxieties
so naturally command our sympathy as do those of
Louis Philippe. Whatever degree of blame may attach
to him for his conduct in 1830, there can be no doubt
that his conduct in the government of France for the
last seven years has been marked both by good inten-
t Cons and by a very uncommon degree of skill, temper,
1 and sagacity. lie finds himself still, however, astride
1 an almost unmanageable and dangerous steed, to curb
! whose wildness is next to impossible ; while to descend
from his seat would be to endanger not only his own
safety and that of every one around him, but that el
1 every valuable institution in his country."
The Herald has the following remarks on the same
subject :—" The atrocious attempt of the infuriate wretch
is another view of the extremity to which the enemies of
order and liberty are prepared to advance for the purpose
of plunging France once more into a revolutionary
abyss; it also shows how feeble a restraining power in
France is moral influence or moderation in politics. In
England such secret societies as those from which these
attacks on Royalty -proceed could not exist a month ;
public opinion alone would dissipate them; all classes of
society would combine to extirpate such monsters from
the land., It behoves the intelligence, the moderation,
and the education of France, to associate for such a pur-
pose. They owe it, not only to their fine country, but to
humanity, to make at least some efforts to relieve France
from the stigma produced by such criminal events. It is
not enough that the Chamber of Deputies should condole
with their Monarch on the occasion of these outrages, or
pass stringent laws for the suspension or regulation of
the secret societies of Paris. French society must com-
bine for the destruction of the insane feeling m which
they originate."
The Post, in a furious passion with some person who,
writes in the ChronicL against the Corn-law Lords, con-
cludes a short article in these words :—" Such violence
as this, the offspring of ignorance, vanity, and affected
passion, is unworthy of any answer save the stocks or
the treadmill. We draw attention to it for the purpose
of showing what is actually done by that party with
which Lord Ilotvick would fain associate caution and
discretion ! We are anxious that our readers should be
aware of the ithpotent fury which the beaten agitators
now display, not that we tteint!to excite our readers into
any warmth of indignation, for such .rabid "trash ought
not to make any sensible man angry, but that they may
be prepared to show (to all who quest;on it) the incapa-
city of the Whig-Radical party for conducting itself with
propriety in any position, and the necessity which exists
for setting things right by means of calm, careful, Con-
servative G overnment.
The Brighton Guardian has the following manly,
straightforward passage :—"The free-traders, theCorn-
law repealers, are zealous and determined men. Justice,
truth, and honesty are on their side. They have appealed
to Religion, and she has given a favourable answer. The
distress of trade and the poverty of the Exchequer work
with them. The manufacturing industry of the country
cannot answer the extortions of the landlords and the
taxes of the State. A palpable necessity exists for re-
laxing restrictions on trade, or submitting to a decreas-
ing revenue. To diminish the public expenses and
maintain the public establishments for which the Tories
in opposition were urgent, is impossible; and we there-
tore have no hesitation in saying, fair as seems the wea-
ther and smooth the water for the navigation of the Tory
ship, that her voyage will be short and disastrous if she
be steered the same course as hitherto."
The Cambridge Advertiser considers the present Ad-
ministration to be a species of Creole Cabinet:—" Sir
Robert Peel's Cabinet is a nameless one. In the vocabu-
lary of political nomenclature no term can be found that
describes it It is not-Tory—this is denied by Peel him-
self, by the Duke of Wellington, by Sir James Graham,
by Lord Stanley ;it is not Whig—for this we have the
evidence of Lord Lyndhurst and the Duke of Bucking-
ham, Lord Aberdeen and Mr. Goulburn. Sir Robert
Peel's Government will be one of expediency, of circum-
stances. Anything approaching to principle is entirely
out of the question with such a Cabinet, if indeed ,we
make no exception to the principle of having no prin-
Ae."

R.T.M.Ouns OX' THE DAT.
At the suggestion of his Royal Highness Prince Al-
bert, and to the no small delight of his Grace the Duke
of Wellington, Sir Robert Peel offered the Mastership
of her Majesty's Stag-hounds to the Marquis of Water-
ford, who declined the honour. So says a Scotch paper.

EX PRESS FROM PARIS..

FRANCE.
The Moniteur of Tuesday publishes a Royal
ordinance, sending 3 can Nicholas Pappard
for trial before the Court of Peers, for an
attempt against the lives of the Dukes of
Orleans, Nemours, and Aumale. This ordinance
occasioned uneasiness in Paris, because of its
encouraging the belief that the-crime originated
in political motives. The public and the•press
were unanimous in execrating the assassin, whose
attempt, if the Bourse be a criterion, tended to
raise rather than depress public confidence. Per-
haps, also, the firmness of the stock-market %l as
party' ascribable to a report that the Duke of
Bordeaux was dead.
The dinner given by the king to the 17th re-
giment and other soldiers, amounting to 6,000
men, passed off admirably on Monday night. In
the course of the King's speech his Majesty said,
that he regarded Algeria as one of the great na-
tional interests of France.
The MOniteur contains the following telegraphic
despatch, dated Toulon, thellth inst::—"The situ-
ation of the western provinces of Algeria is con-
stantly improving; 10,000 Medjehershavejoined
us, and, thanks to them, Mostaganem is amply
supplied with provisions. The submission of the
Bordgias, who have sentin hostages, is considered
as likely to take place very soon' and their ex-
ample will necessarily be followed by the Garra-
has. The Arabs who had abandoned our douairs

no longer any mentioA olAbd-el-Kader, who does
not oppose those desertions, and itis hence inferred

his power. There is nothing new from Mahon."
M. Bertin, seal., proprietor and chief editor of
the Journal des Debuts, died on Moody after a
long and painful illness.

IVLONEY—TILADM—COMMEN.CE..
Several mis-statements have been current in the City
respecting the Nottingham and Nottinghamshire Bank-
ing Company. Tlie sole cause of the agents refusing
to take up their acceptances was, that they had not been
pr6vided with adequate remittances. There has been
no misunderstanding whatever between the London
agents and the Directors. •
On Tuesday the steam-ship Duchess of Sutherland,
from Aberdeen, arrived off Irungate-stairs, with 60 live
oxen, 170 boxes of salmon, several hundred boxes of
game from the moors, besides a large quantity of Aber-
deenshire manufactured goods.
" Every body is at corn work" is the present phrase
at the port of London, from the glut of wheat arrived
from the Continent. Many of the warehouses in Horse-
ley do wn , Bermondsey, and E I h erhithe, are crammed.
Tile importation of beans is also unusually great, and no
less than 300 sail of vessels, laden with corn, have
already entered the river.
