Disturbances in Paris.
'• '" ■ w . !"■ ;■ , . Disturbances are still taking place in connection with the closing of religious schools in France. The populace barricaded a school at Plouharnel, and deluged the gen~ darmea and soldiers with mud and stones. The troops used scaling ladders, and the defenders threw burning faggots and trusses e! straw upon them, compelling them twice to retreat. Eventually the defenders capita-, . lated at nightfall, upon the 1 advice of members of the Senate and the local, Council. Another serious conflict occurred at Saint Meon, in Brittany, between gendarmes armed with swords and peasantry with cudgels and stones. Twenty-seven persons were injured.
