REPORT OF THE CONINIITTEE ON THE PARIS INSURRECTIONS OF MAY AND JUNE. TLIURsDAY, AUG. 3. We yesterday published the opening portion of the report on the Paris insurrections, which was read to the Chamber by M. Bauchart, connected with the affair of the 13th May, and the intentions of the re volutionists. M. Bauchart continued as follows : The decrees discovered pronounce the abolishing the representation of the people, and constituting a com• mittee of public weep, c map sod of nine menibt rs, whose names are lett in blank. They prohibit the exportation of money, outlaw the citizen who 'Will cross the frontiers, abolish all power, charges, and public func• lions, with the exception of mayors, create committees, composed of five ouvriers out of seven members well known patriots; they confer on the committees the verification of the public revenues and judges in question of police, order, and execution of deem s, they create a guard called the garde otter iire, composed of known patriots, and pronounce the dissolution of the national guard, and outlaw all national guards who shall go out ia arm, or unif-rm ; they establish a progressive tax payable within a short period. Ihe property of those who should not p a y was declared common, their furniture was to be sold and distributed to the poor—the communes were con voked to acknowledge the committee of pubic safety and the actual republic; they decreed that the organisauon of labour should be de creed in three weeks, and wholly fur the benefit of the <furriers. Thus, Sobrier's house was the theatre of the conspiracy, and, singularly enough, who should be the first in the attack on the Assembly but a visitor at Sa brier's, one of the most violent chiefs of the clubs —Lonstetried. lie was arrested—and what did he declare ? "That he came with the authority of M. Ledru Rollin to oppose or repress the imetele called before justice. M. Ledru Rollin did not deny this; he praised this man, his filelity and honesty in different missions confided to him in the departments, and acknowli dged that he had accepted his services oa the l•ritti of May. If we ask the executive commission, it replies that it is surrounded itself with advice, that it called toge ther all the responsible authorities, that all measures were taken in common, that it had given orders that it could not foresee that these orders would not be executed, that there was no gevernment beyond the reach of mistakes or treason." Ask the commandant of the National Guard. He replied that the four legions ought to have been in a body on the bridge,and thinks it was the president who ordered the footways not to be stopped; that if the Place Bourgogne was without trcops and the means of resisting thee:mettle, it was because he relied on the Natioraal Guard, and that its chief, General Tampeure, had abandoned it to go into the tribunes as a spectator ; that the troops of the line who should have been stationed in the esplanade of the Invalides were at the Champs Elysies ; that the squadron of dragoons was in the tanneks at the Huai d'O,say, but that a conflict be tween this troop end the people would have led to the ' murder of the assembly ; that the prefect of police bad , written him : " lie quiet ; if you do nut beat the rappel there is nothing to tear." That the gate. of the assembly ' were only opened to some delegates, mid it could not he sup- pnwil the people could forfeit their word and rush in in a crowd. Ask the Minister of War. He answers that he was gone to the Luxembourg for oiders ; that the command in chief had been conterred on another, and that he himself was without authori'y ; that he would have resigned but for the imminent danger • that if he had advised the rappel not to be beaten, it was because he thought it dangerous nicer the assembly, and 1 . likely to lead to a mae . acre oe the representatives, that Gen. ! Tampouse was under toe orders of the Minister of the In terior, and bad MI miler to give. 110 yon speak of the con duct of the ger teal of division, it is r plied that be removed the troops tern the Invalidcs, and only obeyed the order of the commander-in-chief, as was his duty. It is thus that with ill defined duties, the responsibility seems to be shifted, or rather weighs more heavily on all who were held 1 able to it. It is certain that neither in the report of the 3lct May, nor in the proses rerbal of the executive commission is the proof that the general c anniatid w a given to M. de Courtais. The execu tive commission says : Commend was absent. There was no unity; but where was the fault? Who will accuse . the executive commission ? Was it the duty of the executive commission to demoi.d an active and de voted service of the prefect of police, and who al , ne ought to have acted iii such an emergency i Vie a i d that the executive commission t t,,uo ht (vre quote Its own wort!) they liml a sutlii:ently strong force in the inter vention of the body organised, not for ~ m ettle but for order, under the name of the Montagnards, Garde Republicaine, and Garde Lyonnaiee. In presence of such an assertion one le confounded with astonishment, particularly when one considers what passed at the Prefecture of Police, and of which the executive commission could not be ignorant, for they declared " they were not sure of 31. Caussidsere, that he had no police." The absence of the prefect of police at the council of the i 14th of May, to which he had been summoned, struck the commission. It left M. Caussidare, nevertheless, at the head of the police, confining itself to summoning him the 1 1 next morring for the second time. Ho did not then come — said he was ill, but would go to the Luxembourg if they de sired it. The commission did not insist, and were contented with this reply. It demaodect reports on the bete'—" to be informed on the projected movement." No doubt well intended, but perfectly fruitless. On the morning of the 15th no report had come to the ministry of the inte rior. "'Chat was unfortunate, but not extraordinary," cad the commission ; it sent itself some officers of ordnance to the suspected points. Reports at last arrived, they could not tell from whom; seditious language had been used, end name arms were found hidden under !douses. Thus during iii this day, as before, there was no persdrial COmmunicaticn be.;ween the goverment and the prefect , of Police.

Besides the signs we have just given, a letter to Blanqui had been intercepted on 14th June, in which he was informed that a plot was about to break out; that they would have recourse, if necessary p to fi re and murder to insure its success; and that he should soon be restored to liberty. The tumult in the public squares—the daily assemblages in the boulevards—all afforded a proof that an insurrection was about to break rut and again defy society. In certain meetings of the factions, the plate and object of which are well keown at present, none of she members feared to express aloud their regret fir the failure of the 15th of May, and their hopes of a better result. An important witness has made the follow. leg declaration : " I was in my coffee-house at St. Cloud ; I overheard some men who had na,t in an adjoining room ; one of them manifested his discontent with the government who left republicans without places; he epske of a man who had spared the country from eighteen to twenty and who bad received no reward. Some one exclritned, "Since they bad pistols and poniards they should here made use of them." Their conversation lasted about an hour and • half, and when ---.- these men were going away, oho of them was shown to me as being Caussichere, the termer prefect of police, and whom I had already a en five or six times with Mr. Desirabode. go vernor of St. Cloud; on s=eing , him pass before me, I said aloud, alluding to what I had just heard, "These are famous weals." Meunier, secretary general of the prefecture. Grandmenil, and 13.irees, were members of the meeting. M. Desirabode, whom we have interrogated, has denied this conversation. The police seemed to suspect nothing. What were its 12000 or 1,500 agents (Ding? It is true no prtper instructions had been given to this vast service, and that of the four police which had , their seat at the executive committee. at the ministry of tieinteriol,jat the prefecture, and the Hotel-de-Ville, not - one w u well informed, each contradicting the action of the three others. A witness declares the Minister of the Interior, discouraged by such contusion, had ended by tailing his agents to sen d no in more reports. (Citizen Recurt makes a sign of denial.) The r"nieute had its establishments, its:powder mills, end the authorities were ignorant of it, or if not, paid no attention to it; it. auxiliaries, and recruits of men and money and were the i n p 1 i somee e.

The harpies and con vects who had teamed from justice, aaso afforded their contingency to the insurrection. By a fatal coincidence, at the very moment of the insurrection, 20 cases of muskets which nag just arrived from La Force, were deposited at La Villette, one of the principal theatres of the combat ; the in surgents got them auto their possession as if by miracle, without lighting, and notwithstanding the generous efforts oh the national gnarl. Go the 28th of May, M. Trouve Chouvel informed the executive committee that the focus of the ,gitstiou was in the lechers nationaux, and that the pre veiling spirit of those ateliers had reached the clubs, especially that of toe Rights of Mau. Ile transmitted the statutes of that society, and demanded that measures should be turn against its most influential members, against all the chiefs of sections. Tho executive committee refused.... It appears it is impossible to stop on the fatal dee:Heat , . We are ea the eve of the catutroihe ; imprudences and uncer tainties continued; the most urgent orders, even those which came tram superior authority, were not put into execution. On the 22nd June, iu tree m ailing of Thureday, M. Marbe, one of the members of the executive committee, was apprised that tetrad 400 workmen de sired to speak to him. He refused, and declared that he would admit but fine delegates. They were introduced. lie receipt sed Piz il, one of the invaders of the lath May. Ile Mused to h. ar him, and, a felresti g the others, who were silent, he said, " You, who are real work men, speak to me then ? Ds you need the leave of Puzol 1 Are you hie slaves ?" The spokesmen began, and complained bitti rip of the decree expelang th m from Perm, and ended by threats of death. An order, which was immediately sent to the prefect of police, to have these five delegates apprehended could not be put into execution, it was already too late. At thq same moment 5G delegates of the 12. h arrondissement had met at the Jardin des Plantes. At 10 o'clock cm. the Minister of the Interior received, in person, the order of their arrest. It likewise remained unexecuted. It was delivered on the 23rd at 9 a.m, to the prefecture de police. It was remarked that the date had beeu altered. The next day these men were on the barricades, and directed the movements of the in surgents. It is thus, that from the bosom of the atelier natioareue, where the delegates of the Lux• mbourg had in stilled the poison of their theories, through all these circuits of action, this crossing of orders, these accumulated com plications in the police of the state—it is thus we see the insurrection rise and develop itself instantaneously. The money accounts of the ateliers nationaux presented 1 great disorders. The signatures inscrihed on the books often appear suspicious. Dissimilar signatures are often seen for the same name. It is a notorious fact that signatures were obtained at the price of 25 cents. The number of signatures which appear to be false can be reckoned at one-sixth. We have called the attention of justice to this fact. A chef d'Arrontliseement does not hesitate to say that since the census of the 7th of J unc the brigadiers did not cease to excite the workmen, becaure this census, by regulating cer tain parts of the service, would most certainly try the source of the exactions which took place daily. The delegates of the ateliers nationaux bad organised a club, and had organised a formidable rues, thmugheut which was to be found the influence of M. Louis Blanc. These delegates received a high salary, and every person who attended the club received 50 cent& per sitting. There was no more talk of mere profcsions and of their opposed interests, nor of the quarrels of masters and workmen. The ques.ion now was armed socialism—that is to say, a permanent change, not only for our finances, but for society at large. How were honest workmen allowed to be deity empoisoned by such a club ? Was it not a sufficient warning that a minister hci been the object of its threats, and its prisoner for several hours? Can we now he surprised that the departure of the workmen for the departments proved impossible ? The documents which we have examined prove that the insur rection found in the ateliers nationaux not only its army, but the treasury which was to pay them. All the etepe we have taken to discover from whence came the money distri buted on the barricades have revealed no other source than the ateliers nationaux. Citizen Thecae.—l beg leave to speak. The 13.1:1•OKTER.—The brigadiers of the ateliers nationaux were most probably the cashiers of the ..meute. Nothing was then wanting for the struggle—the violence of passion, the number of combatants, resources in men and money. On the 23rd June, the insurrection, like a torrent which over flows its boundaries, enveloped one third of l'aris. Col. Allerd, entrusted with the conduct of a column by Gen. Perrot, deecribes the measures taken by the insurgents in the tollowing manner e.—" I had preserved the historical remem brance of the siege of Sarregossa, analogous in more than one respect to the present one. General dispositions had been combined with most consummate art for the defence of the faubourg. These dispositions must have been taken long beforehand. The great number of barricades, and the manner in which they were erected, cannot allow of a doubt on that point. Some fragments of a bill published during the lest hours of the insurrection complete the testimocy of this witness:—" We demand a democratic and social re public. Alert ! Citizens, let not one of you be wanting at this appeal ! If a blind astioacy should find you indiffe rent tothe blood which has been spilled, we shall all die under the burning rains of the faubourg St. Antoine! Tnink of your wives, your children! You will come and join us!" Thus assudnatiors, pillage, fire, the introduction of empoi toned matters with the cartridges prepared for the enteule, all assumed the character of a savage war, worthy of the times oe the most horrid barbarity. Let us say one word of the means employed by the authorities to repel this horrible aggression. Public opirion had loudly blamed the giving mon y to the ateliers nationaux during the insur rection. An honourable general had exclaimed, ' The ml. ministration of the ateliers nationaux is in the emeute." We must Will - Nish the truth on that point. It was thought there was a chance of throwing thousands • more Iva the barricades, if those workmei who had contracted the fatal habit of making it a condition of labour, were left unpaid. The president of the assembly and the chief of the executive agreed in this opinion ; it was by their order the payments were still continued. Another im portant - circumstance, and which might have had the most serious consequences, was believed by the population and national guard. At the comm ncement of the hostilities a complaint was heard on all sides that the army was not to I be seen. Wu it absent ? Did not the effective correspond to the great exigency of the moment ? General uneasiness prevailed; the barricades were 1 eing erected on all sides without the leant resistance. Was it treachery? What was going on ? Where were those men who were to defend society, attacked with such violence ? Every one was lost in conjectures, and the insurrection was rapidly gaining ground. This situation is explained by the combinations and plan of General Cavaignac. He had c acentrated his troops around the seat of government end the assembly, and from thence he sent them on in columns towards the principal points of 1 the insurrection. He would not allow his troops, as at former perieds, to be distributed in small tevliee :end ezeiseed thus to humiliating capitulations. Ile would net slow the honour of the army to be sullied in these new combats, nor that paths' defeats should damp its courage sr demoralise its ronks; he wished the insurgents to receive a mortal stroke on every point where the defenders of order should present themselves, that the insurrection should be convinced at once of its inferiority and inevitable defeat. Success has fully justified the provisions of the able general. Moreover, we have positively ascertained by the examination of the official documents, that upwards of 25,000 men were quartered in Paris and the environs. Another general said to US :—" What has caused the struggle to last, is, that in the first day, the authorities were averse to em ploying great means, as in the case of a city taken by storm ; from the moment the circumstances ren dered such means obliaatory, all was evidently decided." After having spoken of - the courage, devoteduess, and abne gation which were displayed during the bloody battles by all the corps organised for the defence of the state, it is a duty to ourselves, in order to complete our task, to say a word of the political men we have met in this part of our investigation. Among the first, is the name of a represen tative, who though he has taken no active and ostensible part in the insurrection, has had great influence over the events of June. M. Trelat, former minister of public work', declares ."I know nothing particularly of a visit paid by M. Louis Blanc to the ateliers of Clichy a few days before i the taking up of arms on the 23rd of June. But in my tole :ions with the workmen I have always recognised the lan guage of M. Louis Blanc, his manner of expressing himsed, !Ds accent, his gestures even, in short, all his inem:ations. I was mote especially struck with this coincidence in a meeting of workmen on the North Railway. They made use of his own expressions. I thought be had preceded me: a few se conds . before, FO great, so vivid was the impression of tie personality. L. Mine was an old friend of mine, but since these events I have nat courage to speak to him. I look upon him as the cause Of all the eats- fortunes of our country. (Agitation.) I dull say a word of an affair most serious for me—l mean the departure of Emile Thomas. I told him where he was to go. Alt !" cried he, 'that would not have happened had I accepted the proposals of L. Blanc; I had an army of 100,000 men, and things would perhaps have turned out differently on the 15th May. , In comparing the words of Emile Thomas with the changes I had remarked in the dispositions of the workmen, I ,icquired the conviction that it was Louis Blanc whose in fluence acted on the ateliers nationaus, and all the evil was to be attributed to him." A report of a commissaire de police conLins information of a nature to complete the de clarations of M. Trelat. We give this information: " The as tier of the journeymen tailors at Clithy is an application of the theories of the Luxembourg. This atelier was loundcd by M. Louis Blanc, on the 28th March, and it soon counted 1,500 workmen, We may say that this association well de serves the name of fraternal, which it has assumed, for the meat able workman only receives 40 eons per diem, as the man, the most inexperienced or the most indolent. The workmen admitted into this association were animated with the worst spirit ; they imbibed the most demagogical principles by reading the most exaggerated and most violent papers. Oo the 14th May, &most all of them repaired tc the National Assembly, with the intention of disiolving it; and during the days of June a great many of them did not make their appearance at the atelier. Many of them arc now the objects of an investiga tion before the courtsmartial. " We must remark that M. L Blanc had declared to us that be had on the eve of the 23rd June— L. BLANC I did not gay the eve. The Itermeren (continuing)—Paid a visit to the atelier of Clichy ; he di clued that this atelier was animated with the best sentiments. We have seen in what manner his declaration was contradicted by the official report we have just quoted. On the 23rd of June we ageiu find M. Cloud. diere. Y 0.3 remember, citizen representatives, the biil which demanded M. Caussidiere for the president of the republic. This bill preceded but a few days the taking up of arms of the 23rd June. Convinced of this fact, we have necessarily followed M. Causaieiere in the divers phases of the struggle ; we let the Mayor of Paris speak: "In the Faubourg St. Antoine and in the city it was the name of Caussidiere which was invoked by the insurgents."—Mr. Edmund Adams: "The name of Caussidiere was pro , nounced everywbere.—A. Guardien of Paris "In the barricades it was said, 'lf Caussidiere does not ' come we are lost.' An insurgent °tiered to go and tell my wife where I was. He said to her, Caussidiere no !ringer shows 'himself, and sends us no money, but we will stand it out."—The wife of the preced ing witness : "An insurgent came to me from my husband ; he said that what caused him the greatest uneasiness was, that Caussidiere had left the ineurgents, and that they knew not what they had to do. He should at least have sent agents to tell them so. In my opinion the insurgents complained that Cateisidiere had come to the barricade, and had aban doned them in the moment of danger." Ci izen CAVIIISIDIYALE---If I had been there I should not have returned. The REPORTER.—A new witness confirms this testimony. M. GREGOIRE.—" 1 was going to the Place Msuhert. I found myself in the midst of the insurgents, and heard them say, ' If Caussidiere had come, Mt had told us to lay down arms we should have obeyed h im.' I also heard them say, Vivo Louie Blanc !" ' M. LACROSSE An insurgent was taken at the Faubourg Puissonniere. He was asked for what reason he had taken ut. arms ? Who was his chief ? He answered, Marc Caussidiere." ' M. CAFFIN.—" On the 22nd June, my horse having for a short time ierved as an ambulance, I was surrounded by a great number of insurgents, at the moment they were com plaining of being without ammunition. ' How does it happen,' said they, 'that Caussitiiao allows us to be in want of ammunition ?' When the cartridges tame, they slid, Ah, Caussidiere has tent us powder." M. Bertrand, Juge d'lnstruction, has acquanted the executive with a fact, which is, moreover, quite notorious — it is, that the name of Caussidiere was the rallying word in all the quarters occupied by the insurgents. The formula was at one time " C iussidiere and the Republic," at others " Cain and Caussidiere." We end by two important tes timonies relative to M. Caussidiere, which emanate from two men belonging to the prefecture of police, and upon the morality of whom we have had the best information. M. Ror.e.er —" I left on the 23rd of June, with M. 13-zon. It ass 10 am. I saw barricades being erected in several places. I was r. quested to lend my assistance to erect them, but refused complying, complaining of a wound in my hand. The peewees who directed the construction of the barricades were officers of the notional guard. At the height of the Church of St. Paul, Rue St. Antoine, I saw M. Caussidiere. lie had just crossed a barricade which the Montagnards, as I t itreght, were about erecting. I I thought so, at least, by their sinister faces and long beards. (Laughter.) The sinister faces are those of the Montag nerds, not that of M. Caussidiere—do not mistake. Some of these men left the barricade aid came to shake hands with M. Caueseliere. They appeared to congratulate him, but I slid not hear what they were saying." M. BEZON.—" On the 2311 June I was on duty, and went to see the barricade of St. Antoine. Between 1 and '2 I sew M. Caussidiere near the church of St. Paul. M. RAM was with me. We passed before him a second time, to be sure it was he. The barricade was then about one metre high. One of the men of the barricade drew near Caussidiere, took bold of hie hands, and conversed with him. We yielded to our conjectures, and deplored the participation of Cam lidiere." The committee has traced these depositions to their source ; it has inquired into the delay which has occurred before they were given in ; and has sought whether they were dictated by any motive of Personal interest. It has ascertained that these two men were at first restrain( (1 by a feeling of fear, that they had addressed them selves to one of the chiefs of the administration of the police, mil Ur it, yielding to his representations and to a sense of duty, they had made their declaration. We have no reason to doubt their sincerity, Caussidiere meet positively denies having been, on the 23d June, in the Roe St Antoine; he remained at home, eu at the blriere dc PEtoile, all the morning, and ettys he took I a cab at three quarters past twelve, and went direct to the ' National Assembly ' • he spoke, he says, to several of his col leagues in the Salle di s Pas Perdus,eapecially to H. 13uchez, to whom he addressed these words :—" Would it not be proper to ge to the barricades ? We must be twelve at least to puke the insurgents lay down their arms." M. Buchez declares that M. Ceussidere did not speak to him on that day, and that he does not even remember to hsve seen him. M. Caussidiere has since delivered us sundry certificates, of which the following is the tenor : " We, citizen representatives, declare that, during the days of the 23rd, 24th, 25th, and 26th June last, our colleague Caussidiere has remained with us, and that he has fulfilled, without any interruption, his functions at the national assembly. — F.

Caussidiere was net, between one ar,d two, in the Rue St. Antoine ? It is Let for us to answer this question, but one of the represeetatives, who has signed these certificates, has judged proper to inform us in what manner he signed these certificates. "M. Caqs.i there, addr, suing himself to one of my colleagues and to myself said, Do you remember having seen me in the Assembly during the days of June i It is pretended that I was seen in a neighbouring village.' We repli( d that we had, in fact, caught sight of him at the Assembly ; but we could not precisely state the hour nor the day on which we had observed him. It was then M. Caussidiere prayed us to sign the certificates he presented us." Citizen CAT:3BIIIEILE —1 protest against a most odious lie, I did not leave my own house before one o'clock. The PRESIDENT—You shall be allowed to speak when the report is discussed upon ; at pre. eat we have to listen to the rezort. The REPORTER—IIi order to continue impartially exact, we must add that we find in the account of the sitting of the 23rd June in the Aloniteue, an interruption attnbuted to M. Caussidiere. The information we have collected proves that this interruption could not have taken pace till after two o'clock, A judiciary document states that in the morning of the 23rd June five individual., implicated in the insurrection—Longpied, Dense, Chabant, and Delaire, wrist to M. Ceussitheres. Que.tiolo d upon th .t visit, af. Caussidie' re declared to us that lie had teat dty received from twelve to fifteen per.ons era.• came to sieak o hiss about projects of agriculture and colonisation in Aige ria—(laughter)—but that neither these r none not he had spoken one word upon politics ; that they had merely dis cussed upon the means of organising a committee, in which the commercial affairs of Paris should be taken int) consi deration ; that he was extremely circumspect in his rela tions with what he called the bad part of his party. It was observed to Caussidiere that Lungpied assigned a very I different object to this conference; he ri pilot by a formal denial—" I may have seen kingpied, I may have spoken to him on politics generally, but I have never meddled with all the attempts which weaken the republic." We must now state a last fact, although posterior to the events of June : A wine merchant of the Rue du March" , au: Poiret., told us that about 10th of June Ceussidiere, who often dined there before 24th Febratry, came to his house at 3 o'clo‘k in the morning, accompanied by two men, one of whom had a wooden leg. This last wai an old coin. mandant of M. Montagnard's, and one of the men most e,m promised in the affair of June ; be was confronted with the I wine-merchant, who, without recollecting him precisely, said, that:tlie man who came with Caussidiere was attached to the prefecture whilst he was prefect of police. The name of a third represertative is signalised to us by several witnesses. At half past nine o'clock in the morning of tho 26th, M. Prudhon arrived on the Place de la lia‘talle. He did not put himself is connexion either with his col leagues or the generals and officers who commanded at this point. At 11 o'clock M. Lacrosse, vice-president of the assembly, and 111. Decoys, marching before the troops who carried the barricade, met him on the Rue de Faubourg St. Antoine, and, distineuidfing him by his insignia as a representative, te•ked Ws name, and signified their astonishment to fled him on the vary theatre of the insurrection. M. Prudhon, examined by the committee as to the employment of nit time from seven till eleven o'clock, explained that he went into a hcuse opposite the Canal St. Martin and the great barricade of the taabourg that he remained on the staircase struck will, at the sublime horror of the cannonade. At the in .ment the barricade was carried, be went into the fan...nee behind the national guard, as did a great number of others. He denied at first that Le had on his badge as represen tative, but when it was observed to him that he recom mended one of his colleagues to teke off his, M. Prudhoe said he had sometimes worn it and sometimes took it off. Interrogated on the rootlets of his presence st the Fau bourg St. Antoine at that time, he answered that the insurrection was socialist, that he cArdemned it as inopportune, and that he had gone to withdraw from it some deluded men, to protect a socialist friend, and to satisfy his curiosity. (Exclamations) M. M.uesis has repeated a conversation he had with AL Prudhon as to the events of June. M. Prudinin praised insurgents ; be bad (he said) seen th , en tight wish superhuman courage, and it they surrend r. d. it would be from humani:y ; their cause appeared to him 'o be just. M.Mauvais spoke of the National Guard, and of eh .t he had done during the struggle. M. Prudhon oat; " Ton have done well to save a chef de battalion; ce. r)l.ud. has not military courage."

Other labours wid ne the subjects of a second report. The .twociatioas established in Paris, the plots formed in the c.pdal, had ramifications in the provinces. The evade of the 15:h May, the insurrection of the 23rd June, spread all through France. There are other revelations to lie wit-dried —other discoveries to be made. Inquires have been commenced on a great number of peal's: raga tory commissions have been ieaued ; eveue,rs have been addressed to the prefects and to the proeureur • generrl. We have sought information in all directions. All the answers to these Inquiries havo not yet arrivtd. We await further communications. Betas quitting this painful tableau of civil distension, let us rest upon a hope which the blood of a gl,rione martyr has sanctified. Oh, yea! may the prayer of that glorious martyr, victim of the most pure and sublime devo tion for humanity, be granted. filay the horrible estadrepbe of June be for al. France the signal fora return ei humanity, to reastn, and to respect for order. Is it not thin sulliiient for a great people to feel that it is master to its own destinies; that every :citizen can take an equal share, by his free suffrage, in the goeerumeni of his country ; and those who substitute violence to, rigid, do they not understand in fine that, far from coot, uditi.r for the sovereignty of the people, they arm themselves ei einst it; that, far from devoting themselves to the repuhhe, they out rage it and destroy it? They ought to know that when they imagine themselves fighting for an idea, for a right, they ebey only, as blind instrument.., t. ie bad eissaons acd the mistaken ambidons which direct them and torn them to their putpotes ; tied, beside them, and in the midst of them, glide those vie, tehe', the outcasts of society; those condemned of justic who have declared implacable war against seci,*!. which has repaired them tedh a just horror. However fanati!al he he, however excited to hatted, what operative does not regard as the greatest ues•ortune that his blouse has been stained with the blood of the bravo tieneral Brea, or of the archbishop, fallen by th arms of as.assina. RESUME. In fine, let us cast • rapid glance on the vast apace over which we have run, and recall the links which connect together the 'eve. al events we have examined. It we have remarked the difference between the immediate causes of the sediiion of May and the cater •rophe oi Juue, it wid be certain that these two events were only successive acts of a continued plot, the idea of which wee tirst manifested on the lith March. Tne idea of the factions has always been—" Distrust in the country and hatred 01 the amembly—a sacrilegious thought ai d treason against the sovereignty of the people." The idea differs only in form, and becomes more and more mercenary. On 17th March, a popular manifestation ; 16.11 Aped, a plot; 15th May, treason (attentat) ; 23rd June, civil war. The government, which the con& ience of the Assembly has invested with the care of w Aching over the future of the Republic, has sprung out of the struggle between order and anarchy. The victory which the Na tional Guard and the army have sealed with their generous blued, has re established the basis of society, aseured to the government its moral force, ar el given it free dom of action. The government has feund in this position new strength. It has also the cooaciousness of new duties. It has proved that it knows how to fulfil them. Its glory will be to preserve the republic from every new attack, ant: to allow our fine country to accomplish her destinies. ITALY.—reschiera is reported to have been taken by the Austrians in accounts received through Vienna, bu• nothing of this is mentioned in the advices from Milan or Turin. If not taken, it must be invested on the land side, since the entire body of the Austrian army is between it and the l'iedmontese line. If it be evacuated, the garrison must have departed by the lake, and were no doubt disembarked on the western shore of the lake, probably at Salo. ITALY PROPOSED ARMISTICE.-ITS FAILURE. LOMI3ARDY.—The position into which Charles Albert has been placed by his late reverse induced him to demand a truce from Radetski The marshal replied that he could only grant it on the surrender to him of all the fortress's in Lombardy, and, In addi tion, the important fortress of Alessandria. hese terms were indignantly refused, and the King has issued the following proclamation : Soldiers : The admirable proofs of courage on the field of battle, and of strength in supporting the fatigues which you hove undergone during the last few days have deeply moved me. The enemy has paid dearly for the conquest of his new positions. We retreat with 2,000 prisoners, whereas he has no trophy whatever to boast of. Considering the privations and the wants which you have suffered, owing to the failure of the supplies, and af flicted by the idea of leaving Lombardy exposed to barba rous incursions, I was disposed to demand a suspension of hostiliies ; but the conditions proposed to us were such as must have excited emotiins of shame in every breast. The hosour of the armyshines in the eyes ofall It ily and the whole of Europe: no one can ever deprive it of its pions, and your King will ever remain its most jealous guardian. In • few days we shall find ourselves in front of the enemy that has so often fled before us: in a few days we wil cause them to repent of their audacity. Let the few soldiers who have dispersed is disorder resume their station in the ranks of the army as soon as possible. I rely upon you, beloved children of the country, who so profusely shed your blood for the sacred cause of Italian independence. Inha bitants of Upper ltels ! after various conflicts, its which our army, in spite of its numerical inferiority, has succeeded in realising the most brilliant successes—ovrrwoelmed by num bers—exhausted by the fatigues of so many operations under a burning sun, and deprived of the necessary suppli. a—our army has unfortunately hound it impossible to maintain the positions gained on the Mincio, and Sods itself reduced, in the environs of Goito, to one of those terrible extremities where the only effect of a last desperate effort would be a terrible massacre. Under these circumstances, which wei,:h down our hearts. both as King and as the com mander in chief of our brave and beloved army, after saving held a council of war, we sought to put a period to so great au effusion of blood, by proposing to the enemy a suspen sion of arms ; but the condition, proposed were such that we refused even to discuss them, thinking it better to expose ourselves, in common, to every extremity, rather than com promise the honour and tha existence of the country. Italians, be animated in the midst of the dangers which sur round you with that en rgy which the hour of p. nil ought to infuse into heroic hearts ! Vett will prefer the sacrifice of everything to a disgraceful submission and the surrender of your national independence, The army, sustained fps its patriotic spirit, is prepared to shed the last drop of its blood; and I hope that Divine Providence will not abandon us in the defence of that sacred cause to which my life and that of my children is devoted.

The following important resolution was agreed to in the Turin Chamber of Deputies on the 29th July : In consequence of the urgent necessity that instant power should be exercised for the defence of the stise, by means the most prompt and most efficacious, the chamber resolves that the government of the King shall be invested, during the war of inderendenc - , with all power, legislative and executive ; it shall, at once, by royal decrees, and trader ministerial responsibility (the constitutional instativions ex cepted) make all laws necessary for the safety of the county and its institutions GERMANY. AUSTRIA.—The news from Vienna is to the 30th. The importance of it will be judged from the follow ing letter written by our correspondent : VIENNA, JULY 29. We are on the eve of a new revolution. In reply to an invitation, made on the part of the ministry and of the Archduke John, that the Emperor would honour Vienna and the National Assembly with his presence, the Emperor said that he would defer his visit to Vienna till the I assembly had performed its duty in restoring power to the legal authorities. The Emperor's answer, it is known, was suggested to him, and this reply of his is attributed to the suggestion of the Russian ambas sador and the ArchducheFs Sophia. In consequence I of this despatch a popular elnietite was commenced yesterday, and the people began to assemble. On tneir side ministers were prepared to resign; but at
