Sir Charles Stewart English Ambassador Paris has re
ceiv, instructions from home facilitate the return tt
England of the English workmen in France. In conse
quence of these instructions he has given notice that al
British workuen employed ir France, will, upon applica
ton him, receive every facility to to England
The of this proceeding jealous feeling enter
tanned by the French worknen towards the English The
following from the London Courier of May s. will throw
some light upon the subject
6" In some OF our recent papers we have given
from the Paris Journals, accounts of disturbance:
at Clarendon, occasoned by certain gross outrage:
committed upon some of countrymen at thai
place by the French. The following are authentic
partic ulars of what has taken place:
The late affair at Charenton was commenced by
the Charboiners, and boamen, who it appears, have
an inyeterate hatred to the EUglshmen at the fac
tory not only as Englishmen, but from the immense
wages they earn, which enables them to detach
their wives and women from them, giving rise to
everlasting disputes and quarres. For many
months past no Englishman has been safe alone,
opportunities being looked for to attack him en-
nlaSsp, and it was upon one OF these occasions that
a general attack was made by about forty from
the mandatory who cleared The streets of between
two and three hundred men, most of whom were
driven into the river. The gendarmerie took The
part of the French and lodged three OF the En-
glishmen in prison, upon which the whole of the
mandatory struck and declared to the proprieors
no more work should be done until the Englishmen
were released.
MIR. Wilson, the proprietor, went TO the po.
lice at Paris and returned with the Procureur du
Ro and more gendarmes, released the Englishmen,
and took up many of the French who are in pri-
son, and among others man named Poloi, who had
been formerly a groom to Mr.. Wilson, and who
had been Instrumental in creating the riot--a very
dangerous character, and it is said, fom the depo
sions TAKEN he will be transported at least. 1t is
generally believed it will not end here, such is the
general hatred the students OF the Ecole ppter-
inaire have been locked up by The Professors and
they declare their determination of getting out to
attack them. The same spirit shews itself among
the artillery at Vincennes, having lately been enga-
ged in several rows in the Park. A poor English
woman within month Of her confinement, was
knocked down and beat by four Frenchmen last
week. An English boy going for milk the other
morning. was refused at two places, and at The third
was knocked down and kicked out of the house.
