third of the kind. 1t is ascribed to conspira'ors
against the Government, who are retained In lis
paw. There were disturbances in Grenoole on
The 10th, 18th and 18th, occasioned by a masque
ball procession, in which the King and the Unt-
v~ersity were burlesqucd. The Project and Co
lionel commanding the Department, were made
prisoners in their own houses BY the mob, ana the
latter was compelled to order his regiment TO
leave the town; for which he was afterwards
dismissed. The Carnival likewise gave occa-
sion to disturbances in other quarters, which were
suffered to be fomentcd by the faction OF tile
Carlists.
From the Messenger des Chnnbres Of I'm.
1.-THE passions excited by the Dutch Govern.
ment among its subjects against the Belsians and
the French have just occasloned a most unfortu'
nate event. and one which may have serious con-
sequences. We allude to an act OF public yio-
lence committed at Rotterdam against the Con
SUI, of France. whu was torn from his carriage
and threatened with being flung into the water.
The following account Of the fact Is gwen
in the Indspmdent Of Brussels.
IN. Laurence, Consul Of his Majesty the
King of the French, at Rotterdam, escaped a
few DAYS ago, becoming the victim Of popular
hatred. NJ. Laurence. accompanied by his
wife, was passing one Of the streets of the city
in his carriage when upon reaching a bridge near
The harbor. his carriage was stopped by several
individuals, two OF whom. well dressed and
speaking the French, uttered a thousand ln'Pre-
cations against France aud its government, and
threatened to throw the Consul into the water
UDon the inquiry IF NJ. Laurence, whether they
knew to whom they were speaking, they replied:
Eyes we know YOU perfectly. You are the
Envoy of Republicans, of Jacobins Of Paris
We have no wish for you. To the water! To
the water! The envoy Of the King of Jacobins y
..They then seized NJ. Laurence, dragged him
from his carriage, and were about to throw HIN
INTO the water, but for the cries OF his wife. which
attracted o.her more humane inhabitants, who
put the assailants to flight.
NJ. Laurence on reaching bis house. FASTENED
to address a detailed report of this occurrence
to the French Ambassador at the Hague. The
Dutch Government did all IN its power to hush
up the affair and keep it a secret.
Greecs.-Letters from Greece state that the
Opposition positively reject the nomination OF
Prince Ohio as King of Greece, and that nothing
but foreign interference can force him upon the
country. Under this King of fifteen years old,
Greece would, they maintain, b. governed by
Russia, and become a province of the Car, even
If protected by a constitution, which it is 80 easy
for SovereIgns to violate or set aside. The two
thirds of the Pelopounesus, says the letter, are
waiting until the Rou,neliote Chiefs have passed
the Isihmus Of Corint, to join the 5000 men
placed under their command. When this juno.
ton has taken place, they will put down the re.
mains Of the faction which has governed them
for three years. The troops of Coloctroni be,
come daily more unwilling to follow him. A
great number of soldiers deserted his camp near
Corlnth, and the Peloponnessians refuse to pro.
coed thlther.
