GREECE.

We have received Greek journals to the 19th.
The insurrection under PERROLIS still continues ; all
the efforts of the Government to put him down have
proved useless, and he was, according to the last
accounts, advancing towards Phylia. The Greek
Government, in order to defray the expenses of the
civil war, has taken► as a loan 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. Mnssnaus
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 Assembly on the previous day, both
as regarded the measure for breaking up the Ateliers
Nationaux, 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-
rAuac, 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
May. M. Louis 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 not
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 National Assembly rather as a school
for the instruction of sucking politicians than as the
legislature of a great nation, composed of men quali-

conspiracy of the 15th of May, has been arrested at a
house in the Rue St. Honore, and conveyed to Vin-
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, 13th, 14th, and 15th of
May, and throws no light whatever on the authors
of the attempt of the 16th of May, or on their mo-
tives.

The instructions of the Minister of Public Works
respecting the workmen in the Ateliers Nationaux,
which M. EMILB TnomAs 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
Nationaux:-1. The unmarried workmen, aged from 18
to 25, shall be invited to enrol themselves under the
flag of the Republic, to complete the different corps
of the army. Those who may refuse to subscribe
voluntary engagements shall be immediately struck
out of the lista d'embrigadement of the Ateliers Na-
tionaux. 2. The number of workmen of Paris shall be
ascertained without delay. This measure shall be carried
out conjointly by the mairies, and by the employe; of
the central bureau of the Ateliers Nationaux, de-
legated ' fur that purpose. The workmen who can-
nut regularly prove that they have resided in Paris
six months before the 24th of May shall be dismissed,
and shall cease to receive wages and assistance. 3. The
lists of workmen drawn up by arrondissements and by
profession shall be deposited in a special office,
established as nearly as possible in the centre of Paris,
and shall be communicated to masters by the employeis
of the administration ; the masters may require
such a number of these workinen as they may deem
necessary to the resumption or continuation of their
labours ; those who may refine to follow them
shall be instantly struck out of the general list of the
Ateliers Nationaux. 4. The workmen who may not
be comprised in the cases of exclusion proiided for
by the preceding articles, and who temporarily may
continue to form part of the Ateliers Nationaux,
shall be obliged to work by the piece and not by
the day. 5. There shall be organized, with the
least possible delay, brigades of workmen, which shall
be sent to the departments to be employed, under the
direction of the engineers des Ponta des Chaussees, in
the execution of great public works. I invite you, Sir,
to occupy yourseh, as soon 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 whom 'there may be reason
to send to their respective departments, in default of
their being able to prove a regular residence of six
months; those who may be demanded and taken into
work by the masters; and, finally, those who can bo in-
corporated into brigades of workmen destined for the
opflaPcoariist;
