PARIS, JUNE lb.
A Council of Ministers was held yesterday, at
one o'clock, at the Ministry of the Interior, and
another at eight o'clock in the evening.
The officers of the National Guard of Metz, hav-
ing been called together to deliberate on the inci-
dent that had occurred the day before at their re-
ception by the King, decided, by a majority 86 to
43, that there was no occasion to present another
address to his Majesty.
On Saturday next, the 18th of June, the anni-
versary of the battle of Waterloo, a funeral service
will be celebrated in the church of Notre Dame, in
honour of the French soldiers who died gloriously
for the cause of national independence.
A report is in circulation, and which, if true,
would be likely to inflict a serious wound upon the
individual honour of the persons who are at the
head of public affairs. It is said that Sieur Vidocq
is to be sent to La Vendee, and left under the
orders of General Bonnet, for a special mission.
No one can be ignorant of the nature of a mission
intrusted to such a character as Vidocq.
M. Casimir Perier has been affected since Sa-
turday last, with the disease (dysentery) now pre-
valent in Paris ; but his indisposition is in no way
serious.

The Medical Commission, appointed by the
French Government to study the cholera morbus,
left Paris yesterday for Warsaw. We are assured
that the Russian and Prussian Ambassadors refused
to legalize the passports delivered to them by the
Minister of Foreign Affairs.
The Gazette de France makes an appeal to the
electors of the centres, and begs them not to nomi-
nate Deputies of their own opinion.
It would be better, observes the Gazette, to choose
them from the candidates of the Republic. This
piece of advice would be more ingenuous were it
addressed to the Carlist electors. Speaking of the
abdication of the Emperor of the Brazils, the Ga-
zette adds, in an ingenious remark, that this is
another instance of " a charter producing itsfruit."
The Quotidienne, after enumerating all the be-
nefits and all the glorious advantages of the Con-
stitution, draws an almost imaginary sketch of the
miseries of our present position, and can only an-
ticipate three remedies—namely, a foreign inva-
sion, scaffolds, or cholera morbus. This charitable
sheet contemplates an easier resource for itself;
but it has the prudence to remain silent on that
particular.
The Rue du Faubourg St. Denis was filled the
entire of yesterday by a crowd, which the reite-
rated summonses of the police agents and the Mu-
nicipal Guard were unable completely to disperse.
This was occasioned by a watchmaker having furi-
ously assaulted, the evening before, a boy 16 yowl
of age, who had offered for sale, at his shop door,
a song called ' Napoleon in the Hundred Days.'—
The neighbours were attracted by the cries or the

It is stated that the Duke de Reichstadt has been
promoted to the rank of Lieut.-Colonel in the re-
giment of Gulley.
We have a letter from Toulon, dated June 7, of
the following tenour :—" The following is the most
probable destination of the squadron of observation
which is shortly to put to sea. Despatches from
Count Capo d'lstrias, President of Greece, have
announced to the Government that, on the one
hand, the old chiefs of the Turks, who reside in
Greece, had revolted, and threatened the provinces
that have been detached from the Ottoman empire;
and that, on the other hand, several vessels belong-
ing to the Sul:an had appeared in the Grecian seas,
and might be destined to support the insurgents.
The French Government consequently thinks it
necessary to send immmediately five vessels, each
with 400 troops on board, as well to observe the
movements of the squadron that has come from the
Dardanelles, as to reinforce the garrisons of Modon
and Navarino, and to act against the rebels. Rear-
Admiral Hugon will command this expedition : the
squadron will be composed of five ships of the line
and frigates, a corvette, and a steam-boat. This
is what I have been able to discover on the subject.
