Disorder has somewhat abated, the rioting between the peasantry and the police having greatly subsided. FRENCH AND ITALIANS. JEALOUSY AND RIOT. Paris, 17 th. Telegrams are to hand from Marseilles announcing that an extraordinary disturbance occurred there to-day. Several regiments of French troops, just returned from Tunis,-were marching through the town, and on passing the building occupied by the Italian Club they were hissed from the windows by some of the members. There was a large number of people on the street at the time, and the action of the Italians greatly incensed them. They strongly demanded that the Italian escutcheon should be removed from the Club, and a great scene of disorder ensued. The Prefect of Police arrived on the scene, and endeavored to calm the mob, protesting against any violence. Despite his protest, the Deputy-Mayor of the town, who was present, took the lead of the crowd, and ascending the ladder tore down the escutcheon with his own hands. Order was then restored.
