24 FEBRUARY 1849, Page 10

On this 24th of February, the anniversary of the French

Revolution, we have scarcely a line of interesting news from the French capital. Paris was quite tranquil yesterday evening.

Serious riots among the populace of Lyons, and repeated attacks by them on the Ninth Dragoons, obliged the Mayor of that city to issue a proclama- tion on Tuesday last, that he would forcibly vindicate the law against dis- turbers. There have also been riots at Niort, between the people and troops.

The Paris papers state that the French Government received, on Thurs- day, accounts from Algeria of a serious nature. The Arabs in the neigh- bourhood of Tlemeen had surprised a detachment of 200 men, and massa- cred the whole of them—officers, surgeon, and men.
