The Ministry have consented to the prise en con-
sideration of M. RIMUSAT'S proposition fur excluding
placemen from the Chamber. The Bill for aug-
menting the effective force of the army for home
service by 10,000 men, passed the Chamber of Peers
on Tuesday.

The Nemesis, a new sixty-gun frigate, is to be
launched at Brest on the 14th instant; on the 15th
the Tage, of one hundred guns, is to be launched ;
and on the 28th, the Faune, of sixteen guns, will be
launched.

It is said that several Chinese labourers have left
Amoy for the Island of Bourbon. They receive a
sum of money in advance, with a promise of monthly
wages. The Spanish authorities have also authorised
the hiring of Chinese labourers for the Philippine
Islands.

On the Bourse, on Wednesday, the Bears circulated
a rumour that the KING was ill, and that Marshal
Soma was dead. There was no foundation for these

rumours.

RUMOURED ILLNESS OF LOUIS
PHILIPPE.
Last night a letter, of which the following is a transla-
tion, was delivered at our office:—
" South-Eastern Station. April 8, Bridge Hotel.
" SlR,—Yesterday, about four o'clock, the King was
suddenly attacked with illness. Fortunately M. Pas.
quier, his Majesty's surgeon, happened to be at the
Palace of the Tuileries. He saw that the face was dis-
torted, and deemed it necessary to proceed without delay
in bleeding the patient copiously. The state of the King
having become worse, M. Pasquier ordered two consecu-
tive operations of cupping. At half-past five, the time
of my departure by the special train, there was no change
in the alarming condition of his Majesty, who had not
then recovered his consciousness. The members of the
corps diplomatique were arriving at the Tuileries in order
to ascertain the real state of the King.
" I have the honour, &c.,

The writer of the letter adds his name, but it is one
with which we are totally unacquainted. Our own ex-
press, which left Paris at five, EN, on Wednesday, is
silent on the subject; and on inquiry at the French Em-
bassy at a late hour, we were informed that no intelli
gence of the sort had arrived there. We submit the
communication, nevertheless, to our readers, because we
do not feel justified in suppressing it, though we have no
means of verifying the statement it contains.—Post.

An exact copy of the
above letter was left at our
office at half-past two o'clock yesterday afternoon. We
immediately instituted inquiries in various quarters, and
having ascertained that no special train had recently
arrived at the South-Eastern station; and that the
various authorities, who must have been aware of the
tact of the illness of the King of the French, had such
an occurrence taken place, had received no information
on the subject, we concluded that the whole affair was
either a stupid attempt at a hoax or a fraud concocted
fur stock-jobbing purposes, and therefore took no notice
whatever of the letter or its contents.—[ED. Sun].

Whether the rumours be true or not, we hope that
this article in the National will open the eyes of the
Greek SOVEREIGN and the Greek nation to the true
character of M. COLETTI. It is evident that CoLErrt
is the Minister in reality, not of Greece, but of
France. "It is France that Lord PALMERSTON has
stricken in overthrowing COLETTI," says the National.
" Shall we submit," it asks, " without resistance to
this new attack on our interests in the Mediterra-
nean ?" How could the dismission of COLETTI be
construed into an attack on French interests, if he
were not the Minister, not of Greece but of France.
We trust that these avowals will rouse a national feeling
in Greece, before which the anti-national Afrancesados
will be compelled to give way.
