THURSDAY, FEE. 7.
MARRIAGES.

We have received the Paris journals of yesterday.
The city had remained perfectly tranquil since the
slight disturbance of Monday night.
The Millie gives the following semi-official account
of the cutting down of the tree of liberty near the
Porte St. Martin, on Tuesday night :
" On Tuesday evening, soon atter nine o'clock, nu-
merous groups had st .tinned themselves around the tree
of liberty, on the Boulevard St. Denis, near the Porte Sr.
Martin, at the spot wit, re. on the previous day, General
Lamoriciere had narrowly escaped assassination by a
furious mob; these groups, composed of men in blouses
and of young rioters, amused themsell es with singing
♦arious Socialist songs, amongst others, that which tot -
minates with the words ' Les peuples sent pour nous
des fry es, et les tyrant nos enemis.' Two battalions
were soon seen advancing, one of the tirailleurs de Vie -
cennes, and the other of infantry of the line, with a gene-
ral of brigade, several commissaries of police, and peace
officers at their head. One of the commissaries ad-
vance] and persuaded the agitators to retire, to give
over their singing, and to be reasonable, addilig, that if
they did net do so he should be compelled, though with
regret, to execute the orders of the Government, con-
formably to the proclamation of the Minister of the In-
terior. The voice of the magistrate was drowned by
hootings and hissings. A second recommendation was
addressed to them to withdraw, which met with a similar
reception. The voice of the general was then heard to
order four sappers t.) advance. In five minutes after the
tree lay prostrate on the ground."
The Gazette des Tribunaux gives the following ac-
count of the escape of the Procureur of the .tepublic
on Monday night :
" M. Victor Foucher, Procureur of the Republic, went
to the Rue St. Martin, and, being immedia'c'y recog-
nised, was surrounded by the groups that were assem-
bled. A man said to him—' You are Procureur of the
Republic, and yet you allow the symbol of the Republic
to be destroyed!' M. Faucher represeited that the
cutting down of dead trees, or of those which encum-
bered the thoroughfare, could not be considered an at-
tsv.:k on the Republic. The men about him answered
him warmly, arid at length their observations became
very angry and threatening. Some one whispered him
in the ear, It is time for you to be off 1' and at the

Motion made, and Question proposed, " That leave, be

the fifth and sixth years of the reign of King William the
Fourth, so far as relates to Marriages within certain of the

same moment M. Foucher was seized and carried to a
' shop, as a place of safety. Shortly after he was able to
get away, and to proceed to the Assembly."
The Journal des Debats, after stating that bad
General CAVAIGNAC been in the position of General
DE LAMORICIERE on Monday, he would probably
have been murdered, comments as follows on the re-
cent occurrences :
" What conclusion are we to draw from tkese facts ?
It is this, that in face of the permanent effervescence of
demagoguical passions, illusions and Parliamentary
combinations are very idle. We are always thinking
that we may occupy ourselves about government and the
future, and our prospects, as if the street had given in its
resignation. The situation createl by the 24th of Feb.
will last a long time to come. For a long time yet this
violent and disorderly spirit, which broke into the circle
of public power, and threw down the empire of law,
will kick against the restraints sought to be imposed
upon it by the now constitution—the combat will be for
yet a long time between the law and the street. Let no
one think that the intervention of the street having been
once accepted, the same may be put aside at will. No !
The revolution cf February has shown that beneath
the country of 1830 there is another, which we must
regard as a master or an enemy.
The discussion on the law of Public Instruction
still continues to drag its slow length along in the
Assembly. The debate on Wednesday was en-
livened by an incident which illustrates at once the
politeness and good breeding of the old French nobility,
of which we have heard so much, and the impartiality
of that most judicious of Presidents, M. DUPIN.
member of the Left, M. RICHARDET, proposed as an
amendment to the Bill, that " instruction should be
entirely free," a proposition which was of course
opposed by the parti-pretre, who have for the last
twenty years been bawling for " liberty of instruc-
tion"—the liberty they desire being the liberty of
persecuting and dismissing every schoolmaster who
may chance not to be agreeable to the parish
priest. The amendment was rejected, but,
during his speech in support of it, M. RICHARDET
was interrupted by Count LEO DE LABORDE—
the Legitimatist Count Lao DE LABORDE—the
par excellence Catholic Count LEO DR LABORDE,
who prides himself on being a noble of the old race
par sang, with the expression, " You lie !" (Vous en
avez menti)—whereupon D.Z. Dorm shouted out
" Silence," and instead of calling the utterer of this
vulgar insult to order, proceeded to request the speaker
to confine himself to the question, and not to diverge
into matters.of history, such as the war in Li Vend6i.
Comment on such an incident as this is unnecessary,
but we shall never hear of the politeness and urbanity
of the old priestly educated noblesse of France
without thinking of Count LEO DR LABORDE and
his " lie."

The Constitalionnel says that " it is assured that
the Government has received from London news of
a nature to inspire a hope that the differences which
have arisen between England and the Greek Govern-
ment will be amicably settled."

The Journal des iDebats says—" It is confidently
stated thii evening that the Government has received
information that England accepts the mediation of
France in her dispute with Greece."
A horrible murder and suicide were committed in
Paris on Wednesday. A lieutenant of the 56th re-
giment of the lisle, lodging in the Rue du Havre,
killed his mistress with his sword, and then threw
himself from his window into the street. Me was
killed on the spot.

Government concerning them; and it moreover results
' from the conversations which have taken place on the
subject between M. Glarakis, the last Minister of

shown to the just settlement of these claims. He

they have given th, it opinion that the law and
right is on the side of the Greek Government.
But *R:r the declarat;on which has been made to
the Minis er of his Hellenic M-jesty by tl e Briti h
Minister in presence of Admiral rarker, that there is
no longer any question of discussing the justice or in-
justice ache claims, but to give a full and entire satis-
fac!ion of them in the short space of twenty-four hours,
without the present Cabinet, scarcely entered into oflice,
having time to make themselves acquainted with their
details, he thought it his duty to stop. He in cons, -
(pence confines himself to saying that the King's Go-
vernmeLt calls for the arbitration of the two other
powers r<ho signed the treaty of May 7, 1832, to ter-
minate this painful discussion in an amicable manner,
conformably to the justice and to the sent ments which
have never ceased to inspire the relations of the Govern-
ment of the King with that of the Queen of Great Bri-
tain. M. Londos, in conclusion, thinks it his duty to
inform Mr. Wyse that a copy of the present note will be
banded to the Ministers of France and Russia, as the
represent .tives of the two other protecting powers of
Greece."

and Russian 'Minister?, enclosing the above, and

Mr. WISE and Admiral PARKER, and requesting their
good offices as arbitrators.
E is the note of Mr. WYSE :
" The undersigned Minister cf her Britannic Majeaty
to the King of Greece having employed every means to
substantiate and procure the settlement of the wrongs
and injuries inflicted in Greece on English and lonian
subjects, there remains to him no other resource
than to make a formal demand, in the name of the
Government of her Britannic Majesty, that repara-
tion be made for those wrongs and injuries within the
space of twenty-four hours, and that within the
slime space of time the different claims set forth in the
note addressed to the Greek Government on the 6th of
December, 1848, and since renewed by the undersigned
in an urgent but ineffectual manner, shall be fully and
entirely satisfied with interest, according to the usual
rate of Greece, of 12 per cent., from the -date of each
claim. And the undersigned would ill consult the in-
terests of the Government of his Hellenic Majesty if
he abstained from adding, that if the formal demand
which he now makes is not satisfied within twenty-
four hours from the time this note is delivered into
the hands of M. Londos, the Commander-in-Chief of
the English naval forces in the Mediterranean will have
no other alternative (however painful this necessity
may be to him) than to act immediately on the orders
cf her Majesty's Government.

from him to the English Minister, marked I.
K is a copy of a note addressed by M. PEESULNY
to M. Wrsr, dated 19th of January, 1850:
" I have learned, with as much surprise as regret, by
the note that you handed yesterday to M. Londos, that
the Commander-in-Chief of her Majesty's naval forces
in the Mediterranean has forbidden all vessels of the
Greek Government from leaving port. Such a
mcaiure, besides affecting the independence cf the
Hellenic Government, guaranteed by the three powers
who signed the treaty of May 7, 1832, might, on the
eve of the elections, compromise public tranquillity, the
maintenance of which interests England as well as my
august Court. It is only with calmness that it can be
hoped to introduce into the internal administration of
the country those principles of order and ecouomj which
the powers who are guarantees of the loan have a right
to require from Greece, in order that she may fulfil the
engagements which she has contracted with the Courts
which have acted so kindly towards her. I consequently
consider it my duty to call your attention to the regret-
ablo consequences which the coercive measures resorted
to by Admiral Parker may be attended with, whatever
may be the solicitude of the British Government flr the
interests cf its subjects in this country. The Cabinet of
Athens having more than once manifested the desire to
see the Imperial Legation interpose its good offices with
yuu, I should fail, Monsieur, in my duty did I not renew
the offer f pr the purpose of settling in an amicable man-
ner the difference which has arisen between two Courts
friends of Russia."

In the letters marked L and M, the Greek Minister
thanks MM. TIIOUVENEL and PERSIANY, for support
which they are kind enough to afford King OTIIO'S
Government. The document marked N is a letter
from M. LoNDoe, announcing to M. PERSIANY the
transmission of the paper marked 0 _

that under the present circumstances it is impossible for
him to permit any vessel of the Greek Government to

" S.-NOTE ADDRESSED TO THE MINISTERS 07 FRANCE

AND RUSSIA AT THE COURT OF FRANCE.

" Athens, Jan. 21, 1850.
" Sir,—l have already had the honour to inform you
of what has taken place as to the steam-vessel Otho, and
the other Government vessels in the Pirseue, and the pro-
test I have sent to the English Minister against the in-
credible abuse of power exhibited against Greece within
these few days past.
" I have now the honour to inform you, that some
English vessels of the squadron under Sir W. Parker
having gone to Perot, ana seised upon the ships and craft
of the arsenal, have not hesitated to violate the sanitary
regulations, universally respected for the sake of health
and public order.
" I have also just been inf irmed by the authorities
that the English commenced this morning to prohibit
the merchant vessels in the Piraeus to unload or land
their cargoes without their permission, but enjoining
them (in case of necessity) then to discharge on the
coast opposite to the Custom-house. Lastly, they have
forbidden any vessel, even merchantmen, from entering
or quitting the Piraeus.
" I leave to your judgment and your sentiments of jus-
tice the qualification of such proceedings. The world
will see all these violent acts in their true light. It is,
however, the duty of the Government of the King to
protest against the sole right of might.
" The King, his Government, and the nation, have the
strongest hope of the noble and efficacious support of
(the Emperor) of (the French Republic) ; but in the
meantime vast interests are at stake—the public order,
the safety of the sta. e, and the administration of the
country are endangered by the interruption of the
communications. It is to avoid these disas-
trous consequences that I beseech you,. sir,
_e
in
the name of the King's Government, to order the
vessels (of the Emperor) (of the French Republic)which
' are in the latitude of Greece, to lend t :eir support and
co-operation to the Greek authorities, either in matters
relating to the safety of the state, or fev
