FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE EXCLUSIVE.

PARIS-SUNDAY.
FRANCE.

Death has terminated this day the long sickness of M.
Gregoire ; will it terminate the debates of which his last
moments were the pretext ? It appears, however, that al-
ready means are advised of avoiding the disorder which
threatened us to result from that quarrel.—Le Temps.
The Chambers were prorogued to the 10th of June; and
although it has always been regarded as the intention of the
Cabinet to dissolve the Chamber, the ordonnance not having
been published, the deputies of the frontiers of the south,
must, to arrive at their post, actually quit their dwellings.
Do they wait their arrival at Paris to convoke their colleges,
and thus force them to traverse Franco again? Its truth
wo know not, but we should have a difficulty in explaining
these delays, if we did not recal the hesitation of the Mi-
nistry of the Bth of August, as a comparison before the
deputies of the country. Persons, generally well informed,
had announced the ordonnance of the dissolution for the
26th of this month, the convocation of the eolleges for the
20th of June, and the assembling of the Chamber for the 10th
of July. It is now the 28th of May ; the dissolution is not
pronounced, and the newly-elected will not be, it is said,
called but for the 7th of August— the anniversary day of the
vote of the charter of 1830.—National.

The National, in speaking of the article from the Moni-
teur, on the disturbances in the west of France, noticed in
the STAR of yesterday, makes the following pointed obser-
vations :—" If they are false reports, which the journals
give on the departments of the west, why are there sent into
these departments, an extraordinary commission, and
30,000 men ? If the proceedings of the Chemins in La
Vendee had no dangerous character, why was it not suffi-
cient to send the engines and firemen ? In fact, if some
cubic feet of water, ejected and falling in rain,were sufficient
to disperse the pretended republican commotions in Paris,
how is it, that it requires an army to have military occupa-
tion of Brittany, and prevent the brigades of gendarmerie
from being slaughtered, one by one ? Why, in fact, has
there been such a noise made about the agitations of Paris,
while the insurrections of Brittany have been scarcely
spoken of? Is it that the Government is interested in con-
cealing, every where its faults, and of imputing deception
to its adversaries? Be this as it may, it is unskilful in the
dissimulation of these wrongs—the calumny is not credited.
The article in the Moniteur, destined to have an influence
upon the Bourse, was read with disgust. The assurances
of peace, and the boastings of the Ministry, have been
estimated at their proper value—at 15 or 16 centimes, and
about three sons. At the Bourse, as elsewhere, there was
often articles to raise the public funds, under the Villele
Ministry ; and it is well known, that by such means a go-
vernment never inspires confidence : assertions are not facts.
National.

We are assured that the King, during the last night
which he passed at Havre, caused to be called, at one in the
morning, the Chief of Battalion, Duccasse, commanding the
31st regiment, which immediately departed for La Vend :1
—" Commander," said the King,—" I know all the good
which is told of you. The mission which you have to fulfil
is painful. It is against Frenchmen that you have to go to
fight; and notwithstanding their wandering, and the rebel-
lion of which they have been guilty, never forget that it is
the blood of your companions which you may perhaps be
under the necessity of shedding. However, in spite of that
powerful consideration, it is solely by acting with firmness and
energy that the insurrection can be put down, which now
alarms the country. You will do your duty ; for those who
will persist in despising all clemency, and disturbing public
order, will end hardened in crime."
