FRANCE.
Paris letters are TO the 9Th, inclusive. Gen.
LAFAYETTE had nearly recovered his health, and
was expected soon to resume his seat in the
Chambers
The troubles in Lyons, among the operatives,
continued It's believed they are stimulated by
those who are dsafected. They have formed
clubs, cried ViUa le Republique, and shown di-
vers disloyal symptoms; but, as yet, have COM
mitted no overt acts of rebellion, excepting
against their employers. They continue, how
ever. to keep the National Guards under arms.
Connected with these movements, there had
been some tumultuous proceedings in Paris,
which were quelled by the Police. Forty or fiji
ty arrests took place, and some heads were bro
ken by bludgeons; but as the Minister stated in
a subsequent debate, when arraigned by the OPP
position upon the subject not life was lost nor
a bayonet used. At Nantes there had likewise
been some inquietude.
Letters from Madrid state, that the monks of
Salamanca have openly declared against the

The other monks who were informed of this act

to arms, attacked the monks, and put them to
the route, killing great number of them. They
afterwards stormed their convent, and pillaged
it. No later information has been received from
Madrid than the 23d of February

command of the army of operatives in the north,
to make room for Quesada. Valdez has been

ranks and imploring clemency.
