since Monday Paris has been in a state OF siege in
! consequence Of series OF disturbances created by
! the moo Of Rue ST. Martin and St. Antoine The
police authorities came cut down certain of the
trees of liberty planted during the revolution From
| facts which, by the way, are rather conflicting, i
would appear that when the order for the destruction
of these last emblems Of the liberty of the French
people were lssued, large crowds gathered around
and decorated them with various symbols Of liberty
and that the police, acting under orders from the
executive, proceeded TO cut them down.

quiet The police stationed at such OF the Trees

from Athens to the 18th and 18th ult., inclusive

tween the English and Greek governments, and
that total suspension of relations had taken
place between the two powers. It appears that
some old claims upon the Greek government
remained unsettled, and their demand caused
the difficulty, which was added to by q contro-
yersy in regard to some islands belonging to the
lonian group, which have been usurped by the
/ Greek government.
