The week has been marked by serious rioting in Paris,
a .thscreditable student-quarrel with the Prefect of Police, M. Loz6, having been taken up by the ruffianly classes, though not by the body of workmen. A student was killed on Satur- day in a Police-charge; and on Monday and Tuesday the police, who lost their tempers, were attacked with great violence, and retaliated with such fury that the hospitals are full of the wounded. On Wednesday the Ministry, finclmg the pollee defeated, felt it necessary to call out the garrison, and the dangerous quarters of Paris, espe- ,cially the Latin Quarter, were placed practically in military bands. The Government, of course, was on Wed- nesday questioned severely ; but M. Dupuy absolutely refused to discuss the affair until order was restored, and he had performed some " operation " on the Bourse du *Travail, — that is, had closed it. He ultimately fixed Monday for the debate, and there is some doubt as to the result. His firmness excites admiration, and he is held to have acted rightly in calling out troops; but one hundred and fifty Radicals will oppose him, there is a wish for M. Condone, and the Monarchists may at the last minute abstain from voting. It is probable that the Premier will come off with flying 'colours; but underground Paris is boiling with excitement,
and the incident has seriously alarmed men not usually reac- tionary. As we have mentioned elsewhere, the mob, though concentrating its wrath on the police, showed some disposition to break into and sack private houses.
