GREECE.

We have received Greek journals to the 19:h.
The insurrection under FERROUS still continues ; all
the efforts of the Government to put Lim down have
Proved useless, and he was, according to the last
accounts, advancing towards Phylia. The Greek
Government, iu order to deft ay the expenses of the
civil war, has taken as a Ivan 60,000 drachmas out of
the funds, arising from legacies left by various per-
sons for the education of the youth of Greece, and
deposited at the bank. The health of M. IIIUSSURUS
is said to be improved. The balls had been safely
extracted from his arm. The garrison of Athens had
been so reduced by the sending off of troops to the
eastern part of the kingdom, that the internal ser-
vice of the city was performed by the Urban Guard.

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

THE NATIONAL ASSEMBLY.

We have received the Paris papers of yesterday.
Paris continued perfectly tranquil, and the deci-
sions of the 1-Vseinbly on the previous day, both
as regarded the measure for breaking up the Ateliers
kiationaux, and that for providing for the defence of
the Assembly itself, appear to have given great satis-
faction. The amendment proposed to the Ministerial
project for the defence of the Assembly by M. Du-
FAURE, which enables the President in every case of
emergency to issue his orders to the military force
for the protection of the Assembly, leaving it at the
same time to the President himself to judge of what
should or what should not be considered a case of
emergency, was passed unanimously. The adoption
of this measure will, we should hope, effectually pre-
vent a recurrence of the mistakes of the 15th of
:slay. M. Louts BLANC has refused to serve on the
Committee on the labour question, on the ground
that as it is a question which he perfectly understands
he needs no further instruction on the subject, while
there are other political questions which he does nut
so thoroughly understand, but to the study of which
in other Committees he wishes to devote his time.
From this it would appear as if M. Louis BLANC
considered the Net:onal Assembly rather as a school
for the instruction of sucking politicians than as the
legislature of a great nation, composed of men quali-
fied for the performance of the mission with which
their fellow-countrymen have entrusted them.
FLOTTE, the cook, who was deeply engaged in the
conspiracy of the 15th of May, has been arrested at a
house in the Rue St. Honore, and conveyed to Yin.
cennes.

The Executive Commission of the Government has
presented to the Assembly a report on the affairs of
the 15th of May. It is a mere dry narrative of the
occurrences of the 12th, 13!h, 14th, and 15th of
May, and throws no light whatever on the authors
of the attempt of the 15th of May, or en their mo•

The instructions of the Minister of Public Works
respecting the workmen in the Ateliers Nationaux,
which M. EMILE. TuomA.s refused, it is said, to obey,
were as follows :
"Sir,—l have the honour to announce to you that the
Commission of Executive Government has just adopted
the following measures with regard to the Ateliers
Natiousux:-1. The unmarried workmen, aged from 18

be sent to the departments to be employ,d, under the
direction of the engineers des Pont. des Ch*ubbees, in
the execution of great public works. I invite 3 ou, Sir,
to Occupy yoursel!, as soun as possible, in the applica-
tion of the measures settled by the Commission of Exe-
cutive Government. You will cause to be prepared the
necessary lists to distinguish the workmen who, on ac-
count of their age, must enrol themselves in the armies
of the Republic ; those whim there may be reason
to send to their respective departments, in default of
their being abfe to prove a regular residence of six
mouths; those who may be demanded and taken into
work by the masters; and, finally, those who can be in-
corporated into brigades of workmen destined for the
great works of the provinces anu bahlieue of Paris.
I will make known to you tomorrow the plat) in
