taken there to protect the shipping during the night
II being menaced with destruction by conhagraton.
At Lyons the sale of firearms has been prohibited
to any one not furnished with certificate of good
conduct, signed by the mayor and sous-prefet.
The armorers were also ordered to remove the
locks from the guns in their establishments There
are shrewd suspicious aloat that the Legitimist
Governors of the Republic have in view Interior
designs, which may render it more necessary to
court an alliance with Russia than with England.
The partisans of legitimacy and absolutism are,
there is now no doubt active not only in France but
almost throughout Continental Europe, and Con.
gress is about to be held at Warsaw, at the sum-
mons of the Gar, to devise upon the best plan to
repress liberal tendencies in Western Europe No
doubt there is much romance in many of the on dts
of the day, but should there be any considerable
quantity of truth in any of them we shall fear for
the peace and liberty of Europe. Take the last
projet for France as an example. The elder branch
OF the Bourbons is to be restored in the person of
the Duke of BoURDEAUx and the title Of Henry
5th; he is to nominate the CoMTE DE PARIS as his
successor; CHANGARNIER to be Marshal of France
and Commander-in-chief. M. earlier to remain
head Of Police. LOUIS NAPOLEON to be raised to
the princey post of Constable of France, with the
appaaage of Rambouillet, and an income of one
million francs. If he will not accept this offer from
the dynastic convention, means will be taken to
place him in position which will prove equally
ruinous to him, both in his private and public ca
pacity. The trade of Paris has not yet recovered
from the effects produced by the misunderstanding
with England. Wheat is still falling in price, and
the quantity on hand remains very large sufficient
it is said, to suffice for the consumption of France
to the first January next without having recourse
to the growing crop. The wine trade is very dull,
and both wine and brandy declining in price. Wool
and silk are both rapidly rising in the market
Reports of Carlst rising in SPAIN are more
and more current in Madrid. general rising is
feared about the time of the Queens accouchment.
The Spanish Government has adopted the system
of prepayment of letters by means of postage
stamps, and decided increase in the Post Office
revenue has been the consequence.
There is nothing in the political condition of
GERMANY materially changed since our last. All
the great elements of its social and political condi-
ton appear to be in state of active fermentation
what may be the result no one say.
The King of Prussia is recovering from the
wound inflicted by the assassin Sefeloge-the es-
cape was very narrow one. Nothing has trans
pired to prove that the criminal had any accom-
plices, that the atrocity was attempted under the
influence of any political motive whatever.
There was nothing new in the proceedings in
either House of Parliament last night, except that
the Commons assembled, for the first time, in the
new apartment, which has been so long preparing
for them. The new chamber Of the House of
Commons appears to be far too small for the body
which is to assemble in it, and complaints were
made last night that it very i'll adapted both for
speaking and hearing. Strange defects, indeed
after SO much expense and delay! Lord JOHN
RUSSELL obtained leave to bring in bill to remove
the impediments to person of the Jewish persua-
sion taking his seat in the House.
From PARIS we hear that immense numbers of
petitions pouring into the Assembly against the
new electoral law from all parts of France; not
withstanding which, the bill is likely to pass by
vote of nearly three to one.
THREE o'cLocK.-Your Minister, Mr.. LAW
RENEE, made very acceptable speech at the Man
sion House last night, at a dinner given by the
LORD MAYOR to Lord COUCH, and very splendid
party. French papers received this morning fur
nish the following paragraph; proof, we think,
that if the difference between England and France
is not yet settled, nothing very serious is likely to
grow out of it. ~, .a.... -.
"All the English residents in Paris who have been pre-
scented the Eyse have received invitations from the fes
dent for the of this evening Lord Normandy is be
present We may infer from this that the difference with
England is at an end" ..@ y:.- =.
The Times will not, however, read to this con-
cluson. According to that journal, we are not on
ly in great difficulties with FRANCE, but also with
RUSSIA, and the Minister from St. Petersburgh is
about to be recalled from London. The following
paragraph is from the Patrie, Paris paper of the
3Oth
We assured that the Emperor of Russia after having
received dispatches announcing the conclusion of the Greek
affair." Immediately recalled his Ambassador M BRUNow,
from London It said that the courier who CARR this
ORDER out of his road communicate his dispatches
the Russian Minister Paris, who to retain forward
them, according to circumstances"
The correspondent Of the Times, however,
doubts the main point, the absolute recall of M.
BRUNow. A duel took place yesterday in Paris
between M. ROGER DU NoRD and Mr.. Bower, two
members of the National Assembly, and the latter
one of the most Jealous members of the Peace
Society, who deny that hostilities can be justified
under any pretext. Such is the difference between
theory and practice? Fortunately, neither party
was injured by their personal encounter.
The Emperor of RUSSIA and the Heir Apparent

Of Prussia was fast recovering from his wounds
