" The ball at the Pals& Royal„lastnight, was veiy —W-
heat. More than 1,800 persons were invited. They danced
in all the apartments of the King. A table of 300 coven
was laid ant in the apartments ofithe Queen. To-morrow
we shall give the details of this MAW which the honours
were made by the Royal Family with a grace and conde-
scension worthy of it."—Joarnal de Pans.
" In consequence of the deplorable atones of the Sor-
bonne, second imitations have taken piece. In the number
of the individuals arrested, we remark MM. Sambue, Blan-
qui, and Plocque. Amongst these persons there is one
whom, we believe we have pewee is arm, remains an en-
tire stranger to the troubles and the scandal which was the
motive of the arrest. This is M. Blanqui, who has
been for a long time employed by the proprietors of the
Globe, for the purpose of reporting the speeches at the
Chamber of Deputies, as short-hand writer, and who, at the
moment the Minister of Public Instruction was so unworthily
insulted, was occupied in fulfilling his duties."—Le Globe.
There have been this morning serious disorders at the Col-
lege of Henry IV. Three pupils, for a neglect of discipline
of a grave character, had been for some days sent back to
their relations. We are assured that their comrades imme-
diately received letters from them exciting them to claim the
return of the dismissed scholars, and declaring that they
were cowards if they did not force the superior to recal them.
Either to reply to a call which piqued their self-love,
or for former attachment, this day, at the hour of their,
awaking, the pupils of the second quarter, who were shut ial
their saloon of studies, broke down the partition which sepa-
rated it from the quarter of philosophy ; and then united, all
declared that they would not quit nor acknow-
ledge the authority of the Chief, or the masters
of the house, until they had obtained the recal
of those whom they named the " proscribed." They
were deaf to the paternal summons of the superior,
and of several inspectors of the University, who, at the first
intelligence, went immediately to the College of Henry IV.
An under-director who had gained admission, and who
wished them to attend to reason, was struck and violently
ill-treated, The Superior, without delay, acquainted the
relations and correspondents of the conduct of these young
rebels ; many of them arrived immediately, and fifty of the
most mutinous were given up. The other quarters of the
College took no part in this tumult. All is calm at this
moment, and to-morrow the students will retake their usual
course. Without doubt, this novel 'example of insubordina-
tion will cause the chiefs of the university, to see the india-
pensible necessity of stifling these germs which a too great
indulgence will not fail to render contagions."—Jourted,
des Debate.
We are assured that M. Mauguin and General Lamarque
will demand of the Ministry, in the sitting of the Chan-
ber of Deputies next Thursday, new explanations upon the
negotiations relative to Poland and Belgium. It is true that
these two questions singularly pre-occupy all minds. The
nation waits with anxiety the denouement of the affairs of
Belgium. All the world is convinced that war will be the
consequence ; capitalists refuse to aid industry and com-
merce, and the future offers no sufficient guarantee. to
alter such a state of things. We hope that the mini-
sterial explanations will be clear and precise, and
that the public opinion will be fixed upon a point
so important. As to Poland, we believe it will work
prodigies for liberty ; we know that the people who
nave the firm wish to be free, have a marvellous force to re-
sist tyranny. We are then not without hope upon the result
of the struggle, which will take place between her and
Russia. May the Government, in accordance with Eng-
land, cause the Emperor Nicholas to hearken to words of
reason. May it plead with energy the holy cause of the
Polish nation : France will applaud it ; she will thank her
Government for such a step, because the national sympathy
for Poland is profound. France will be afflicted at her re-
verses, and will rejoice at her success, as if she had obtained
it herself. This is a truth which the Ministers feel, and by
which we think their proceedings will be ruled. It is not
only the wish of France, it is also that of civilised Europe.

• The Government of Hanover, in the proclamation to its
and the Emperor of Russia, in his manifesto against
V)Poles, equally claim the respect of public order. !mu

July, and it is that which is demanded still at this day by

tory, the Empire, and the Restoration, would have chimed
the same support.—Le National.

BELGIUM.
It appears that the Council of Ministers is decided on the
Belgian question. and that the vigorous opinions of the M
inis-
ter of War have prevailed. The re-union of Belgium with
Resin appears to be a thing resolved on. We are assured
that a courier has been sent with the news to Belgium.
Antwerp is to remain a free city.—Jourseol de Paris.
We are assured that the Duke of laachtenberg has also
refused tho crown of Belgium. It was suScient, he said,
for him to determine on the refusal, when he learnt that
'Prance would not accept him without displeasure. Irma•

The reports which were spread yesterday ups. the del
eision taken by the Cabinet of the Palais Royal, relating
to the affairs of Belgium, is not confirmed. The idea ifs
re-union, which was at first so muck desired, is definitively
rejected. They prefer the risk of seeing the Duke of Loner
