In some of our recent paprrs we have given, from the Paris journals. accounts of disturbances at Charenton, occasioned by certain gross outrages committed upon some of our countrymen at that plaee by the French. The following are authentic particulars of what ha5 taken place :The late affair at Charenton WaS com- menced by the charbonniers and boatmsn, who, it appears, have an inveterate hatred to the Englishmen at the factory, not only as Bng- lishnien, but fromn the immense wages they tarni, which enables I them to detach their wives and women from them, giving rise ta everlasting disputes and quarrels. For many months past no Eng- lishman has been safe alone, opportunities being looked for to attack him cin masse; and it was upon one of these occasions that a gene- ral attack was made by about 40 men from the manufactory, who cleared the streets of between 200 and 300 men, most of whom were driven into the river. The eendarrnerie took the part of the French, rLnd lodged three of the Engli.shmen in prison, upon which the whole of the manufactory struck, and. declared to the proprie- tors no more work sholild be done until the Englishmcn were re- leased. Mr. lWilson, the proprietor, went to the police at Paris, and returned with the Procureur du Roi and more gendarmes, re- leased the Englishmen, and took up many of the Freneh, who are in prison, and among others a man named Poloi, who had been for- merly p groom to M^lr. Wilson, and who had been instrumiental in creating the riot-a very dangerous character ; and it is said, fromu the depositions taken, he wDIl be transported at least. It is generally believed it will not end here, such is the generalhatred: the students of the 13cole Veterinaire have been locked up by the professors, and they declare their determination of getting out to attack them. The samne spirit shows itself am ong the artiilery at Vincennes, having lately beca engaged in several rows in the Park. A poor English wonnan, within a month of her confinement, was k;nocked down and beat by fouir Frenchmen last week. An English boy going for milk the other orning, was refused at two places, and at the third was knocked down andi kicked out of the house, with the appellation of - Anglair. Mlany men were lying dangerously hurt. Thomas Colly had his skuUl fractured bya boat-hlook, and XVlUiat Walker his arms broken; and an English child neatly killed.. A plan was detected two-daxys agoD for 500 or 600 men from the Fauxbeurg St. Antoine to Join the* ir.habilants of Charenton, upon whbich proper Imeasures were taken tg supprcss it.-Evecingpeper.
