RECAL OF THE AMBASSADOR

FROM ENGLAND.

We have received the Paris journals of yesterday.
In reference to the departure of the French Am-
bassador from London the Ordre says that M.
DROUYN DE L'HUYS had received formal instructions
to quit London forthwith if satisfaction was not given
to France ; and yesterday an announcement was
made in Assembly that the Ambassador had been
recalled. We are not surprised at this circumstance.
Ever since the PRESIDENT of the Republic suffered
himself to be terrified by the absurd rumours whiCh
the reactionaries spread into throwing himself into
the arms of the Bourbonists, and becoming
the Planche Napoleonienne which they had all
along boasted they would make of him, it
became, evident that the Legitimatist Secretary for
Foreign Affairs, General LARITTE, acting under the
inspiration of Count MoLs, M. ASCATORY, and the
Bur raves, would take the first opportunity of
breaking the entente cordiale with constitutional
England, in order to form an intimate alliance with
Russia, a power to whom the recent arbitrary
proceeedings of the French Ministers, in domestic
affairs, cannot but make them most acceptable, and who
will, in return, lend them its Cossacks to re-establish
" order," by restoring HENRI V.
The following is a detailed report of the proceed-
ings yesterday in the National Assembly :—After a
great number of petitions against the Electoral Bill
had been presented, General LARITTB ascended the
tribune, and said that last Saturday he had the ho-
nour of announcing to the Assembly that upon re-
ceiving the unfortunate and unexpected intelligence
of the failure of the good offices of France in the ne-
gotiations at Athens, the Government of the Republic
had conceived it to be its duty to demand explana-
tions from the English Government. The answer
received not being such as the French Government
had a right to expect, considering the good rela-
tions that existed between the two countries, the
PRESIDENT of the Republic, after having taken
the advice of the Council of Ministers, had given
his orders to recal the French Ambassador.
(Three rounds of cheers; prolonged movement.
The Mountain, which applauded in the beginning,
abstained from joining in the succeeding cheers.) In
order to acquaint the Assembly with the motives
which have determined the Government to take this
decision, he could not do better than read the letter
which he had addressed to M. Daourst DE L'Hurs
upon this subject.—(Attention.)

" " I had the honour toParis announce toyoulBso yes-
terday the Council has deliberated upon the answer
of the Cabinet of London to the demand which you
were instructed to transmit. My preceding dis-
patches will have given you a presentiment of the
resolution of the Government of the Republic.
France, in a spirit of benevolence and peace, Lad
decided upon interposing her good offices, with the
object of terminating, upon honourable conditions,
the differences which had arisen between Great Britain
and Greece. It had been agreed that the coercive mea-
sures already employed by the British Government should
be suspended during the mediation; and that if an ar-
rangement judged acceptable by the French mediator
should be rejected by the British negotiator, the latter
should refer for instructions to London before recurring
afresh to measures of force. We had received upon this
last point the most formal promises. These promises
have not been kept. This deplorable consequence has
been the result:—At this very moment when a draft of
convention, negotiatad directly and definitively settled
between the Cabinets of Paris and London, was upon,
the point of arriving at Athens, where the most essen-
