D "ted, oven by those who In- THE SUN, cessantly invoke it, and that men who hiAve already ruined two monarchies wish to tie my hands in order to overthrow he Republic, my duty is to baffle their per fidious projects, to msintsin the Republic, and to save the country by invoking the solemn judgment of the only Sovereign I acknowledge in France—the people. " I make, then, a loyal appeal to the while nation, rind I say to you, if you wish to continue the state of disquietude which degrades us and compromises our future, choosy a nother .in my place, for I will n o lon g er retain a Government which is powerless to do good, which renders me responsible for acts I cannot prevent, and binds me to the helm when I see the vessel driving towards the abyss. " If, on the contrary, you have confidence in me, give me the means of accomplishing the great mission which I hold from you. " This mission consists in clo,ing the era of revolu tions by satisfying the legitimate wants of the people, and protecting them against subversive passions. It es pscially consists in creating institutions which shall survive men, and which are the free foundations on which s:lin, - ,thing durable can be placed. " Persuaded that the instability of the Government, and the preponderance of a single Assembly, are perma nent causes of trouble and discord, I submit to your suffrages the following fundamental bases of a Constitu tion, which Assemblies will developo at a later period. " 1. A responsible chief named for ten years. " 2. Ministers dependent upon the Executive power alone. " 3. A Coun3il of State, composed of the most distin guished men, preparing Lows, and maintainicg their dis cussion before the Legislative body. " 4. A legislative body, discussing and voting the laws, named by universal suffrage, without scrutinizing the list, which violates the electoral principle. " 5. A Second Assembly, composed of all the dis tinguished men of the country —a preponderating power, guardian of the fundamental compact, and of the public liberties. This system, created by the First Consul at the commencement of the century, has already given to France repose and prosperity : it would still guarantee them. Such is my deep conviction. If you share in it, declare it by your votes. If, on the contrary, you prefer a Government without force, Monarchical or Republican, taken from I know not what past, or from what chimerical future, reply in the negative. Thus, then, for the first time since 1804, you will vote with your eyes open, knowing for whom and for what you are voting. If I do not obtain the majority of your votes I shall call for t`►e meeting of a new Assembly, to whom I will deliver the mandate I have received from you. But if you believe in the cruse of which my name is the symbol— that is, France regenerated by the revolution of 'B9, and .)rganizcd by the Emperor—if you believe that cause to be still yours, proclaim it by consecrating the powers I isk of you. Thus France acd Europe will be preserved from anarchy; obstacles mill be removed; all rivalries mill have disappeared; for all will reflect on the decision ,f the people—the decree of Providence. " Given at the Palace of the Elysde, this 2d day of December. L':UIS NAPOLEON BON iPARTE." The following is the proclamation to the army : " PROCLAMATION OF THE PEESIDENT OF THE REPUBLIC TO THE ARMY. " Soldiers!—Be proud of your mission—you will save :he country; for I count on you not to,violate the laws, but to cause to be respected the first law of the country — national sovereignty, of which I am the legitimate repre sentative. "For a long time you have suff.red, like me, by the obstacles which opposed themselves both to the good I visited to do you, and to the demonstrations of your sympathy in my favour. These obstacles are broken town (brisjes). The Assembly has endeavoured to at tack the authority which I hold from the whole nation. ft has ceased to exist. " I make an honest spiral to the people and the army slid I say to them, Either give me the means of assur ng your prosperity, or choose another is my place.' In 1830, es in 1848, you were treated as if con leered (en vaincus). After having branded your heroic tisinterestedness, you were not considered worthy of laving your sympathies and your wishes consulted, and yet you aro the elite of the nation. To-day, in this .01enin moment, I am resolved that the army shall be ,ear d. " Vote then freely as citizens. But us soldiers do not 'orget that the passive observance of the orders of the thief of the Government is the rigorous duty of the stony, from the general down to the soldier. It is for ne, responsible for my actions before the people, and be ore posterity, to take the measures which seem to me ndispensable for the public good. " As to you, remain immovable within the rules of iiscipline and honour. Aid by your imposing attitude he country to manifest its will in calm and reflection. t3e ready to repress any attack on the freo exercise of ho sovereignty of the people. " Soldiers! I do not speak to you of the souvenirs which my name recall. They are engraved in your leans. We are united in indissoluble ties—your his oiry is mine. There is between U 3 in the past commu iity of glory and misfortune. There will be in the fa ure community of sentiments and resolutions for the re dose and grandeur of France. " Given at the Palace of the Elys6e, this 21 Decem oer. " LOUIS NAPOLEON BONAPARTE." The Prefect of Police has issued the following : " PROCLAMATION OF THE PREFECT OF PO LICE TO THE INHABITANTS OF PARIS. " The President of the Republic, by a courageous nitiative, has just b,fil,d the machinations of parties, tnd put an end to the agony of the country. It is in the istme of the people, for their interest, and for the main enance of the Republic, that tho event has been accorn .dished. It is to the judgment of the people that Loafs Napoleon Bonaparte su bmits his conduct. The gr . !ear of the act will make you sufficiently undtrstand vith what imposing and solemn calm the tree exercise ‘f popular sovc reignty should be manifested. To-day, hen, as yesterday, let order be our flag; let all good itizens, animated like me by the love of the country, fford me their cooperation with the firmest resolution. " Inhabitants of Paris!—Have confidence in him .horn six millions of votes raised toe be the first magihole w s trate of the country. When he lls on the ,eople to express its will, the fections alone can at dis wish to o 'brow an obstacle in the way. Any attempt ord sill therefore be promptly and inflexibly repMressetrd. - "auas.” " Paris, Dec. 2. The following circular has been addressed to the Commissaries of Police by the Prefect. " Monsieur le Commi4aire,—The more circumstances aecome serious, the more important do your functions tlso become. Watch with courage and with unflinching nergy fol• the purpose of supporting and maintaining he public tranquillity. Do not tolerate the slightQat A ssemblage on any point of the capital; do not permit Any meeting the object of which ma y appear to you to be suspicious. Let no attempt at disturbance take place without immediately putting a stop to it by inflex measures of repression. I rely on your devotedness; rely on my support. " DE MAUPAS." The most extraordinary feature in this most im portant affair was the apparent calm of the people on reading these proclamations, and witnessing the arrangements that had been made to ensure the suc cess of the enterprise. Here and there, indeed, the proclamations were torn down or defaced, but this was by no means general. The approaches to the National Assembly and the Elys 6 s were guarded at an early hour, but at the outside of the line of troops a considerable crowd had collected, and many persons exclaimed, "Il a bien fait !" but there were fewer cries than usual in political demonstrations. At about eleven o'clock an attempt was made by about forty members of the Assembly to force their way to the legislative palace, but they were all turned back. The Tuileries Gardens were closed, and a report was current in the crowd that, in the course of the day, the President of the Republic would take up his reaidence in the Palace of the Tuileries. Several important political arrests were made at a very early hour this morning, but there are various rumours as to the number, and the persons who have been arrested. The following are mentioned :—M. Dupin, President of the National Assembly, who is said to be garde a vue ; Bedeau, one of the Vice- Presidents ; Generals Cavaignac, Changarnier, La moriciere, and General Perrot, ex-Commander-in- Chief of the National Guards, and General Foltz,F ex-Chief of the st aff, Colonel Charras, M. la Rochjaquelin, M. Rog er du Nord, Nadaud, Michel de Bourges, and M. Greppo, and other members of the Mountain. It is rumoured that General Cavaig nac made great resistance, but was overpowered. Orders were, it is said, given to arrest M. Thiers, but we learn that he did not sleep at home. Up to the time of going to press (says Galignani) the capital was tranquil. There is not the slightest agitation in the faubourge. The President of the Republic, attended by a bril liant staff, left the Elysee at about half-past ten o'clock this morning, and went along the Quais. He was sa luted with loud cries of "Vive la Republique ! Vive Napoleon !" It is a curious fact, in connexion with the im portant events of this day, that the 2,1 of December is the anniversary of the coronation of the Emperor Napoleon, in 1804, and of the battle of Austerlitz, in 1805. The Bourse has only fallen 30 sous. Five per Cents., 89f. 50c. The Five per Cents. closed at 89f. 503.; Three per Cents., 55f. 05c. ; Bank of France, 2,050 f. (From the Times' Correspondent.) PARIS, TUESDAY, Dec. 2, 4 P.M. You will already, I trust, have received by sub marine telegraph a summary of the news of the ex traordinary events that have passed here this morning• With every disposition to communicate a regular account of these incidents, it is difficult under such circumstances to present other than an abrupt and hurried description. The President of the Republic was informed last night that a meeting was held at General Changar. LONDON, WEDNESDAY tikes house, attended by M. Thiers, M. Baze, and others of the chiefs of parties, at which it was decided that the comp against the President should be made thi3 very day—:hat is, that he should be arrested, the Assembly prorogued or dissolved, and no doubt the Republic abolished. It was considered absolutely necessary to take steps immediate!y. Proclamations were at once pro pared, addressed to the nation and to the army, in the former of which the President explained his causes of complaint, and declared that instead of em ploying itself in taking care of the interests of the people, the Assembly had only become a theatre of conspiracies and plots against him, the elect of the people. He makes an appeal to the people by whom he has been elected. He restores universal suffrage, summons the people to assemble next month in their cornices to elect a new Assembly; to this new Assem bly he will resign his powers, and let the nation exer cise its will in either electing or rejecting him. He proposes ten years as the periol which the Chief of the State should retain power , aided by Ministers re sponsible to the Executive. He abolishes the Council of State, &c. The Prefect of the Police, M. de Maupas, has ad dressed a circular to tall the Commissaries of Police, inviting them to watch with courage and energy over public tranquillity, and to allow no meeting the ob ject of which should appear to them suspicious. This morning, at an early hour, the Place de la Concorde, the Faubourg St. Honore, the Tuileries, the Louvre, and the Place de Carousel were covered with troops, the arrangements having been made during the night. Generals Changarnier, Cavaignac, Bedeau, Lam°, riciere, Leflo, Colonel Charras, MM. Baze, Thiers, Brun, the Commissary of Police of the Assembly, and, it is said, 22 or 28 others have been arrested. The first named are committed to Vincennes, and I am assured will be transferred to-morrow to the fortress of Ham. General Changarnier , attempted to harangue the soldiers sent to aid the police agents who arrested him ; but it is said they refused to listen to him. Colonel Charras is said to have wounded one of the agents who arrestedAlim( It is also reported,that:M. Michel (de Buurges) and M. Odilon Barrot are under arrest, but this is doubtful. The decree dissolving the Assembly, &c., i 3 signed, as you perceive, by M. de Morny, the new Minister of the Interior. The new Ministers are M. de Moray, Interior; M. Fould Finance ; M. Rouher, Justice ; M. For toul, Public Instruction ; M. Chasseloup-Laubat, Marino; General St. Arnaud, War; and it is said M. de Persigny will be Minister of Foreign Affairs General Milgrim still retains the command of the army. Orders have been given to take down the temporary hall where the representatives were wont to meet. Eight journals are suspended, among them the Evenement. The Prefects on leave of absence in Parig, or else where, have been ordered to return instantly to their departments. The same order has been communi cated to the other public functionaries on leave of absence. A number of representatives met this morning at the residence of Count Daru. They m ere dispersed by the police. Same of them afterwards repaired to the municipality of the 10th arrondissement, but also received orders to retire. The President wrote late last night an affectionate letter to M. de Thorigny, and also to the Ministers, declaring that his mind was made up—that he could not allow himself to be sacrificed by his enemies, who were conspiring at that moment ; but that, as he was unwilling to compromise them in any way by impli cating them in his sets, he thought it better they should resign. It is unnecessary to say the request was complied with at once. People have been taken so much by surprise, though such an event might have been foreseen, that it is difficult to say anything on the public feeling. All my accounts from the faubourgs are unanimous in declaring that the people are well pleased at what has been done ; and it cannot be denied that the in trigues and plots of the chiefs of parties in the As sembly had long since disgusted them. Groups are, of course, assembled at the different places where the proclamations are posted up; I have heard that in some places they were torn down. I have, however, seen nearly one hundred of them, and not one is either defaced or soiled. I have heard many make observa tions not over flattering to the Assembly, that they richly merited what has befallen them ; and the only thing most of them regretted was their 25 francs a day. The President, mounted on horseback, rode all through the Quays, the Champs Elys6es, and other places of the city. He was followed by a crowd, shouting, " Vire Napoleon !" and " Vire le President !" One or two regiments marched along the 'Thulevards about half-past twelve o'clock, and the people also hailed them with cries of " Viva le Ligne I' " Vire la Republique !" " Vive Napoleon." To say that Paris is not agitated would be absurd, but, so far as I have perceived and heard from others, I do not see that the agitation is of an angry nature. The restoration of universal suffrage and the appeal to the people contribute to their good humour. The troops are, I am assured, to be relied, on, and express themselves well pleased with what has oc curred. Though there are numbers of people along the Boulevards, 'Jet ,in the other parts of the city where I have been the people seem to be at their work as time!. The troops are still in the places mentioned above, to be ready to put down any disturbance that may be attempted. It is stated that one of the men who arrested General Bedesu was wounded by him, and that the General had to be bound. The President's reception last night was never better attended. Not the slightest suspicion existed of what was coming on. Attempts have been made on the Boulevards to get up some disturbance, but to all appearance they have failed. A man who headed a procession of about fifty or sixty young men, shouting, was ar rested. There are no soldiers along the Boulevards. Every precaution has been taken to prevent any disorder. The Mountain is now sitting. It is, said that a manifesto will be addressed by them t O'CLOC o Ci e people. FOUR K P M. Groups stilliassemble in the Boulevards. When ever an officer of the staff passes on horseback, they shout out " Vive la Republique!" The Rue St. Honore and the Faubourg are still occupied by troops ; and artillery and troops are on the Place de la Concorde, and surround the Assembly. The Palace Royale and the Chateau d'Eau are also occupied by troops. Pickets are at the corners of the streets to preserve order. FIVE O'CLOCK. A manuscript decree, purporting to emanate from the representatives who met in the Municipality of the 10th arrondissement, under the presidency of M. Odilon Barrot, has just appeared. By that decree Louis Napoleon Bonaparte is declared outlawed, and the High Court of Justice is convoked to try him for high treason. The army is relieved from its alle giance, and a General appointed So command it. General Lauriston is said to have placed the 10th Legion of the National Guard at the disposal of the Assembly. Another report states that he has been arrested. P.S. The Faubourg St. Antoine is perfectly tranquil. About 100 persons are on the Place de la Bastille, discussing public affairs. A strong body of troops is stationed at the Chateau d'Eau, Fortes St. Denis and St. Martin. Whatever agitation there is is on the Boulevards, and particularly observable amongst the bourgeoisie.

The opened de t occupied the Chamb er o f D e p u ti es , w h en they W hetheroasa w a crowd advancing over the bridge, showed by the earnestness with which they raised their mus kets, that they were determined to maintain their ground. When I passed there again, in about half an•hour, the troops were reinforced by several pieces of artillery. I met the President of the Republic at 11 o'clock. He was crossing the Pont-Royal, from the side of the Tuileries. He was surrounded by a numerous and brilliant staff of general officers, and was preceded and followed by a strong body of Cuirassiers and Lancers. He wore his usual uniform of a general of the Na tional Guard and the Grand Cordon of the Legion of Honour. He bowed right and left and raised his cocked bat to the crowds, who then began to r eturn , th streets. Most of the men raised their hats in an d there was some cheering, but no enthusiasm. He was followed by an immense mob, shouting, " Vive Republique r which they were permitted to do in fall liberly. I can safely assert that there wns not one cry of " \rive Nap&eon" n-s long as the cortege wag sithin my sight. It must be admitted, on the other hand, that there was no organized mob of De• cembrists, es has been asserted on former occasions. Everybody was suffered to express himself as he wished without molestation. (From tho Morniqr Chronicle Correspondent.) PARIS, TUESDAY, DEC. 2, 11 A.M. The President of the Republic accomplished a coup (IWO this morning ; the principal streets in Paris were occupied at an early hour by strong bodies of infantry, cavalry, and artillery. We have since received by Extraordinary Express the following disp itch : PARIS, TUESDAY EVENECO, FOUR O'CLOCK. I sent you a telegraphic dispatch this morning, an nouncing the accompli4hment by Louis Napoleon of the long talked of coup d'iltat, and a letter in which I gave such details as was then known. With respect to the tell graphic dispatch, I must inform you that in the first instance it was sent back to me by the French authorities, and that it was only two hours afterwards that I received notice that the telegraph had been opened. It will be seen that Louis Napoleon has set the Constitution completely at defiance. Were the Con stiution to be acted upon in its literal sense, Louis Napoleon would no longer be President of the Re public, for it will be remembered that by Article 51 he is forbidden to diisolve or prorogue the Assembly, or to suspend in any manner the authority of the Con stitution and the laws; and by article 68 it is de clared that " the President of the Republic and his Ministers, &c,, are responsible, respectively, for all the acts of the Government and the Administration. Any measure by which the President of the Republic dissolves the National Assembly, prorogues it, or impedes the exercise of its charge, is a crime of high treason. By this sole act the President is degraded from his functions ; the citizens are bound to refuse him their obedience ; the executive power passes by right to the National Assembly ; the judges of the Supreme Court of Justice are im mediately to assemble, on pain of forfeiture ; they convoke the jurors at the place they may designate, to proceed to the judgment of the President and his accomplices. A law will determine the other cases of responsibility, as well as the forms and conditions of the prosecution." But, whatever the Constitution may say, Louis Napoleon has cut the Gordian knot. He seems to have been more conversant with Voltaire's tragedies than with the code of laws of the Republic, and to have adopted Catiline's opinion when he exclaimed— "Le devoir le plus sacs 6, la loi la plus cl.6:ie, C'est d'oublier la loi pour sauver la patrie." From the confused manner in which the news reach me from different quarters, I am obliged to give them without any reference to order. The affair has come quite suddenly on the public, and even upon the Ministry. M. Turgot, de Tho rigny, and the other Ministers, were present at the President's reception, and General de St. Arnaud was the very last to leave the palace. On the other hind, M. de Morny, the new Minister of the Interior, was at the Jockey Club a great part of the night, and remained playing cards till two o'clock in the morning. The new Ministers are MM. Fould, Rouher, Magne, and de Morny. It was at five o'clock this morning that they took possession of their departments. At the same hour the troops were directed in great numbers to the neighbourhood of the Assembly, and the other points of Paris which they were directed to guard. The arrest of the representatives, who were ar rested at their own houses, took place this morning at six o'clock, by detachments of police, assisted by the Republican Guards. The number of arrests amounts, it appears, to about 67. The prisoners were chrried, not to Vincennes, as was generally supposed, but to the Prison Mazes. The following were the names of the persons arrested : —Generals Cavaignac, Chan• gamier, de Lamorici3re, Bedeau, and Leflo, Colonel Charras, MM. Thiers, Lagrange, Valentin, Panat, Beaune, Greppo, Miot, Nadaud, &c. M. Baze has escaped. M. de Mallac, the former secretary of M. Duchatel, is arrested. The following journals here been suspended : L' Opinion Publique, Le ilessager, La Presse, La Republique, L' Ordre, and L'Avenement. The Debats and others have been allowed to appear, but some of them have been subjected to the condition of making no commente on passing events. The question most asked this morning after Louis Napoleon's proclamation became known was, " But what will the Assembly do ?" That body has not allowed its answer to be long waited for. As early as eight o'olock some representatives assembled at the residence of M. Odilon Barrot, but it was immedi asely after decided to go to M. Darn's, one of the Vice-Presidents of the Assembly. Towards eleven o'clock nearly two hundred representatives were assembled. They decided that they ought to proceed to the Legislative Palace, and for mally claim their right to hold their sitting. They then proceeded to the Palace and advanced in a body towards the usual gates of entrance. They were there refused admittance, the officer of the troops on guard at the gate informing them that the Legis lative Assembly no longer existed, having been dis solved by a decree of the President of the Republic. Some of the representatives expressed themselves warmly, it is said, at such language, and even at • tempted to force their way in, in doing which one of them, M. de Larcy, ww, I understand, wounded with a bayonet. The representatives, after formally summoning the officers in guard of the entrance to afford them ad mission, left the place, and on the invitation of M. Dam, one of the Viee-Presidents, proceeded to his apartment to deliberate. They were on the point of commencing, when a message arrived from General Lauriston, Colonel of the 10th Legion, declaring that he placed the Mairie of the 10th arrondissement at their disposal, and that the 10th Legion was prepared to defend them from all violence. to Thither ot f e, Thither the members of th e L eg i s l at i ve A ssem bl y r o o m s repaired of , t a h n e d i\ t i a a k i e g , p p r o o s e s e e e s d s o d n of one tNhe e.Dg rseraut being in the chair. After a deliberation conducted in due form, and at which the short-hand writers of the Moniteur were present, the conduct of Louis Napo • leon Bonaparte was declared to be illegal, and con trary in every respect to the Constitution. In conse quence they affirmed him to have forfeited all claim to the high dignity of President of the Republic, and passed a decree pronouncing his (Valance, in confor mity with Art. 68 of the Constitution. Another decree frees the officers of the army and navy and the public functionaries from their oath of obedience to Louis Napoleon. The High Court of Justice is convoked to judge the President and his Ministers. This decree was signed by all the Members present, with M. Daru's name at the head. Amongst the other names are those of 0. Barrot, de Broglie, Molar, Dufaure, Passy, de To2queville, Gustave de Beaumont, Quentin Bluebell, Dufour, de Tracy, Coquerel, Mortimer Ternaux, de Kerdrel, and Piscatory. Some Mountaineers were present at the sitting, and amongst others, Grevy, Ferdinand de Lasteyrie, Didier, Colfavru, &c. So far matters appeared to go smoothly enough with the Assembly. But after they had passed their various decrees matters changed their aspect. A body of the Chasseurs of Vincennes surrounded the building. They had scarcely taken up their position, when M. Berryer appeared at one of the windows of the Marie, wearing his representative scarf, and declared aloud to the crowd which stood outside looking at the soldiers taking up their places, that the Legislative Assembly, being in sufficient numbers to deliberate, bad pronounced the dicheance of the President of the Republic, and appointed Ge neral Oudinot Commander-in -Chief of all the troops of Paris. Just as he said this, M. Thamisier, another representative appeared behind M. Berryer, and raised the cry of " Vive la Republique.' This cry was most coldly received by the crowd. " What is Berryer," said one, " but the servant of Henri V. ?" " And what is Oudinot," said another of the persons standing near, " but the man who went to Rome ?" Almost immediately after an officer of the Chasseurs of Vin cennes knocked at the door where the Assembly w as sitting with closed doors, and insisted on ga i n i ng admittance. This was refused at once, but the officer insisted, and in a few minutes after the room was cleared. Four members, MM. Dare, De Broglie, Odilon Barrot, and Mole, remained in the apartment. An officer of the staff presented himself, saying that, as they would net separate, he should take their names. M. Odilon Barrot then replied, and said that, after such a violation of the Constitution, he demanded to be arrested. The officer replied that he had no instructions to that effect, and that his orders were simply to clear the room. MM. Odilon Barrot, Mole, and De Broglie then withdrew. M. Daru was following them, when the officer declared that he was his prisouer. An employe of the first Maine arrived, to place th e hot e l of th e M a in e at the disposal of the re- EVENING-, DECEMBER 2, 1851. presentatives, but the detachments prevented the I meeting. • The representatives then ; some went to M. de B7cglie'o, otilErs to M. DufAure's. M. Cre mieux was arrested in the street. In the 6th arrondissem?nt some representatives of the Mountain mad: an attempt at resistance. The military occupy the principal bridges of the capital. It is said the troop will support the Pre sident. As yet, the Faubourgs remain tranquil. The Boulevards are crowded with people, but no disorder has talon place. The agio on gold, which was at 20, has fallen to sf. The calls upon the bank this morning were very nu merous, but have fallen off. After the first panic, a reaction has taken place, but the excitement is very great. A proclamation is expected from the As sembly. Fears are entertained for the night and to-morrow. All the newspapers have been scizad except the Constitutionnel, the Pattie, and the .1) ibats. The President mounted his horse at eleven o'clock, accompanied by the e x King Jerome and a numerous staff of generals. He rode along the quays, passed in review the troops assembled on the Place de la Concorde, and in the Pquare of the Tuileries. Not a single hostile shout was raised, but no fa vourable acclamations greeted him. A few voices raised the cry " Vive la 116publique." I understand that the Minister of the Marine did not know anything of the coup cl itat till this morning, at nine o'clock, when a friend called upon him, and announced it to him. The Patrie of yesterday publishes the following items, in short paragraphs : General Changarnier was arrested this morning at four o'clock, in his own house. Some other repre sentatives, who were in his room, were arrested at the same time. N. Lamorieiere and N. Thiers are among the number. Ge — neral Changarnier attempted to harangue the troops, who refused to listen to him. General Cavaignac was also arrested. All the streets leading to the Assembly are occu pied by the troops. The infantry is drawn up in line from the Qaai d'Orsay to the Pont de la Concorde ; the Cavalry occupies the Place de la Concorde to the Rond• Point. M. Morny is appointed Minister of the Interior. The following are among the representatives arrested : —MM. Charras, Lamoriciere, Roger (du Nord), Cavaignac, Bedeau, Changarnier, Le Fl 6, Banne, Greppo, Baze, Miot, Thiere , Nadaud, and Valentin. P.S.—I have just learned, from undoubted autho rity, that 150 representatives of those deliberating have been arrested, and led away between files of sol diers. It is believed that they have been taken to the Invalides for security. (From the Daily News Correspondent.) Last night we received thd following : Paris is perfectly quiet. No Parliamentarian army appears. The proclamation to the people is countersigned by the Minister of the Interior. ARREST OP REPRESENTATIVES. Oae hundred and eighty representatives of the Right, with Berryer at their head, have been arrested in the Mairie of the tenth arrondissement. Some of the members of the Left, assembled at Cremieux's house, have been arrested also. By special express boat and engine we have re ceived the following dispatches from France : PARTS, TUESDAY, 3 P.M. Last night all Paris went to bed quietly, without dreaming of revolution. To-day the peaceable citi zens rise to find the streets occupied with soldiers, and to read the proclamations, posted in all public places, as the only clue to the enigma. This morning, at four o'clock, General Changer flier was arrested at his lodging, where several other representatives were assembled, who were also ar• rested. They were all conveyed to Vincennes. General Lamoricie:e and M. Tbeirs were among these. At the moment of his arrested General Chan gamier harangued the troops sent to take him ; but the soldiers refused to listen to him, and his voice was drowned in the noise of drums. A battalion is still posted close to his lodgings, and is employed in making searches in the neighbourhood. General Cavaignac is arrested, as are also the following mem bers of the Assembly :—Charras, Roger du Nord, Bedeau, Le Fib, Baune, Greppo, Baze, Miot, t'au and Valentin. Among these you will re , ogn ze several names of the Mountain. The whole Bo ,rd of the Assembly is said to have been arrested. Charras is said to have killed one of the men who attempted to arrest him. M. Dupin has re turned to his former house in the Rue du Bac, and has invited the representatives to meet there. His hotel is occupied militarily. M. Mallac, former chef de cabinet of M. Duchatel, has been arrested. Se veral offices of papers have been occupied militarily ; among these are the National, Opinion Publique, Aressager, Republique, Ordre, and Ave,nement, which papers are suspended. The director-general of the post has been ordered to reserve to-day and to-morrow all the places of the malles-postes for the prefects, sub prefects, and other functionaries who are repairing to their posts. The President is making, at this moment, the round of the principal quarters of Paris. General Roquet, his aide-de-camp, has just ridden, at a walk, along the Boulevards, with two or three orderlies. lie is received with deafening cheers of " Vive la Republique 1" All the avenues of the Legislative Palace are beset with troops. A line of infantry extends from the Port Royale along the Quai D'Orsay. The cavalry occupies the Place de la Concorde as far as the Rond Point, the Quai Billy, and the bridge. The Boulevards and streets generally are at this hour, 3 P.M , crowded with people. The President is removed from the Elyiea to the Tuileries. The entrance to the gardens is of course inaccessible. The Carrousel is fall ottroopa and cannon. Some additional facts may, perhaps, he gleaned from the following :—The most extraordinary feature in this most important affair was the apparent calm of the people on reading these proclamations and wit nessing the arrangements that had been made to en sure the success of the enterprise. Here and there, indeed, the proclamations were torn down and defaced, but this was by no means general. The approaches to the National Assembly and the Elysee were guarded at an early hour, but at the out side of the line of troops a considerable crowd had collected, and many persons exclaimed, " It a bien fait," but there were fewer cries than usual in poli tical demonstrations. At about eleven o'clock an attempt was made by about forty members of the Assembly to force their way to the Legislative Palace, but they were all turned back. The Tuileries Gardens were closed, and a report was current, in the course of the day, that the President of the Republic would take up his residence in the Palace of the Tuileries. Several important political arrests were made at a very early hour this morning, but there are various rumours as to the number, and the persons who have been arrested. The following are mentioned:—M. Dupin, the President of the National Assembly, who is said to be garde a vac : 13.:deau, one of the vice presidents ; Generals Cavaignac, Changarnier, moricire, and General Perrot, ex-Commander-in- Chief of the National Guards, and General Foil; ex- Chief of the StuiT, Colonel Charms, M. de Laroche jaquelein, M. Roger du Nord, Nadaud, Michel de Bourges, and M. Greppo, and other members of the Mountain. It is rumoured that General Cavaignac made great re,,istance, but was overpowered. Orders were, it is said, given to arrest M. Thiers, but we learn that he did not sleep at home. Up to the time of going to press the capital was tranquil. There is not the slightest agitation in the faubourgs. The President of the Republic, attended by a bril liant staff, left the Elpea at about half•past ten o'clock this morning, and went along the (.Zunis. Ile was saluted with loud cries of " Vive la Republique ! Vive Napoleon !" It is a curious fact, in connexion with the im portant events of this day, that the 2d December is the anniversary of the coronation of the Emperor Napoleon in 1804, and of the battle of Austerlitz in 1805. Perhaps at such a moment a few details as to the outward appearance of Paris, that fall within the scope of one ' a own observation, may not be unin teresting. I was no sooner up, at eight, this morning, than our concierge told me the Place de la Concorde was full of troops. I proceeded immediately along the Boulevards to the Madelei n e. V ery few people were in the streets at that hour. The first thing which struck me was that the telegraphic wire which passes along the Boulevards communicating with the ministries and forts and the railways was cut. I saw a small post before the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. If any people appeared on the balconi es , they were instantly warne d back by sentries posted at the corners of the streets. When I reached the front of the Madeleine, I found the Rue Royale regularly occupied with troops. I observed a strong post before No. 3, Rue du Faubourg de St. Honore, Changarnier's lodging. The rumour was that he was now lodged at Vincennes. The Rue de Faubourg St. Vonore was lined with troops as f ar as the ElysiT. I passed without obstruction as far as the rlaee de la Concorde, which WAS wholly occupied by i t n ro t c i p ) :, c w en it t h re th n e e i a r r a t r h m e s o p b il e e ri d :k. and with several cannon quay to war d s P ussy. No coinages vv ... A regi men t o f Lanc:_rs was drawn r u e p a a ll l o o w n cross the b r id ge opposite t he Assem bl y, b ut I was - g ed il to e allowed to cross on foot. The steps and garden of the legislative palace were occupied by the RepulAicrn guard in thei r ye ll ow cross-belts. The Place d e B ourgoyne, opposite the back en trance of the Assembly, was occupied by troops with cannon. Opposite the Ministry of War I first fell in with the four proclamations, which I send herewith by exprers. Scarcely a soul had yet looked at them ; they had just been posted. Having copied their tenour, I proceeded to the Telegraphic Office, at the Ministry of the Interior. The dispatch was refuted. Orders had been received to let none pass. But having learned th a t o th ers who came after me had beEn authorised by the Minister of the Interior to send the news, I returned, and succeeded in procur ing the same leave. Quicker than I can describe the proclamations were posted up all over Paris; and in two or three hours the streets were crowded with people. (From the Morning Post Correspondent.) PARIS, TVEsDAY EVUNINGI. The President, as I told you in a few hurried lines this forenoon, has executed the coup cr etat into which he was forced by the Assembly. The walls are co vered with proclamations by Louis Napoleon. The late representatives are in perfect dismay. Thousands of troops are in the Place de la Concorde, and around the Hall of the Assembly. A few minutes ago I saw Henri de la Roehejaquelein de• mand admission there ; it was accorded to him amidst the appltuie of an immense concourse of people. The Prefect of Police announces that all attempts at disorder will be instantly and severely suppressed. Rumours fly in every direction. It is said that Generals Changarnier and Lamoriciere, and M. Thiers, have been lodged in the Chateau de Vin cennes. At the Elys6e throngsof General Officers have been pressing around the President with offers of support. The streets are crowded with troops and with ani• mated masses of people. The scene is most pictu resque, and mot a little exciting. Events will now move swiftly. OVERLAND MAIL INDIA. We have received by express our usual dispatches in anticipation of the Overland Mail from India. The dates are Bombay, November 3; Calcutta, October 22; Madras, 25. Our correspondent writes as follows :—. BOMBAY, Nov. 3. Close on the dispatch of last mail, on the 17th of Oc tober, I sent you a few lines, to inform you of a serious riot on the part of the Mahomedan population, which had, that afternoon, or rather noon, occurred in the motive town, in which several parties, chiefly policemen, had been severely beaten and wounded with swords and sticks. By the intrepid conduct of Captain Baynes, superintendent of police, and his small force, the rioters were speedily dispersed, upwards of 90 of them being taken into ousiody, and who now await their trial before the Supreme Court. Early that morning it was spread abroad that a disturbance was to take place, and some thousands of Muaselmen congregated at the Grand Mosque, ostensiely for prayer, but in reality with the view to share in the riot agreed upon pre viously. The c3zee, or high priest, having beard of the intended row, harangued the multitude in the mosque, pointing out to them the danger and absurdity of what ties) , meditated, but he was silenced by a fanatic, who stood up and told the people that, ss true followers of the Prophet, they should not forgive the insult offered to his and their faith by the publication in a Parsee news paper of a portrait and history of the life of Mahomod, the former of which, owing to bad printing, appeared to them to be intended a s a car i cature, though, in reality, the drawing was a tolerably fair one. What tended most to inflame the Mahomedans was that one of these por traits, one eye of which was daubed or obliterated in the printing, was stuck up on the wall near the main en trance of the mosque, with some jeeriug and ribald lines written underneath, referring to the maimed appearance of the prophet, who, in the biographical sketch, was re presented as a man of beautiful and noble appearance. So soon as the Arab had ended his address in the mosque, by calling on the assemblage to join him in a battle for the faith, they all rushed out and commenced an attack on the small party of police close by, and such people as came in their way. They pro ceeded to the neighbouring Parsee streets and commenced destroying the houses and everything they could lay hands on, many of the inmates being severely ill used and beaten. Parsee liquor-shops were brokkl into, and the liquor thrown into the gutters. Abou\ 7,0001. worth of property is said to have been destroyed. An aged Parsee merchant and his son, a boy of eight years of age, were dragged from a carriage and severe]) beaten, the child's eye being knocked out by a blow from a bludgeon. Eight or ten police, four or five Par sees, and a European constable, named Storey, were put hors de combat ; most of them have recovered, the remainder are in hospital. So soon as Captain l3aynes, and the senior magistrrte, Mr. Spent), heard of the row, they hastened to the spot. The former got a couple of strokes on the legs, and the rioters tried to unhorse him ; but ho galloped through them fearlessly, his sepoys at his heels ; and in half an hour the streets were as quiet as if they had never ben in habited. Great excitement and alarm prevailed and still continued among the Parsees, a s re p orts h ave been daily published by one English and several Pose() papers to the effect that to-morrow, the last day of the Mo hurrum, a general m a s sacre o f every Parsee found abroad is to take pl ace . Th e most atrocious deeds are said to have been committed by the Mahomedans— women have been violated, and heaven knows what be side—the whole story being alleged to be false by the police authorities, before whom no such charges have been made by the Parsees against the Moslems. In truth, the articles published in the Telegraph have al ways appeared to me most injudicious—calculated to stir up deadly strife, rather than allay agitation, and the ill-feeling undoubtedly prevalent. Since the 17th, a company of Sepoys, under a captain and two subalterns, has been :daily posted in tho market near the great mosque, Juma Musjid. This evening this guard is to be increased, and 100 men and two officers of the 78th Highlanders are to be posted in the native town, as to-night the T aboots ere to bo taken in procession through the principal streets. To-morrow all the troops in garrison are to be at their barracks ready to turn out should any distur bance take place. The Taboots will be brought out about one or two o'clock, noon, to be thrown into the sea at Back-bay, and all will be over by six, when it is hoped and believed things will return to their usual state of tranquillity. Should the rabble Mahomedans get any pretext there will doubtless be a row, but it will quickly be put down. Ten Europeans and 200 natives have been engaged as special constables, and it is expected they will be permanently retained, as the present police force is evidently too small for the duties required of them— only 800 foot and about 50 horsemen for the whole island, to preserve the lives and property of upwards of half a millon inhabitants. There is to be an expedition after all from Peshawur into the hills against the tribe of Momunds of Mitchnee, who have been amongst the foremost of our tormentor,. Sir Colin Campbell is to command in person, his force to consist of 2,500 men, chiefly Europeans. There cannot be a doubt, as to the result of this dour ; if we catch them or can come at them, they will pay fur their misdeeds— and no doubt Sir Colin hopes ho may catch thorn. In my last I told you that Captain Coke's force had kei t Kohat in progress to the newly acquired Valley of the Dour. The last accounts from him arc from a place called Ko)- rum, in the Meeranzaie Valley. He states that he was succeeding wonderfully in the settlement of the land s; the crops were splendid, and the people able strapping fellows, extremely civil and obliging, and evidently de lighted with having obtained the protection they desired. The force consisted of the Ist Pubjaub Infantry and Ist Cavalry, two 9 pounders, and one 24-pounder howitz,r, with a company of Sappers. They did not expect to cross the Koorum river, but if they did they would cross the Wuzeeree hills into Dunne)°, and back to Kohat by the salt custom-houses of Nuree or Bahadur Khail. Sick ness, unhappily, was setting in at Peshawar; but once the troops got on the march, they would speedily get all right again.

From his statement he certainly had little to thank Sir Charles for; the Gallant General spoke him fair, but requested the home anthorities not to m a k e him a C.B. for his gallantry in 1843, because the M a j or had spoken his mind freely in reference to the On tram and Napier quarrel. And he only got his C.8.-ship when he wrote to the Duke of Wellington /cng after wards, reminding him of his promise. The system of espionage carried on in Made during Si r Charle's administration was di-graceful ; only those who flattered the old man was promoted— those who denounced his policy were never forgiven. We shall see what answer Sir Charles will give to, the Gallant Major's damning letter. Captain Nixon, 6th Bengal Native Infantry, has been cashiered for embezzlement. Major-General Aitchison's tour on the staff at Madras having expired, he is about to proceed home. Ilts temper has always been ungovernable, and he has often committed gross breaches of decorum in his lauguige to those under him,—otherwise be has always been reckoned a good officer. The gallant Colonel Bred,haw, C. 8., 60th Rifles, died at Kussowlie on the 18th ult. Several deaths amongst the military have taken place during the month, enumerated else where. Tho knapsack has been abolished by the Court of Directors in the Native army; their kite on the march aro hereafter to be carried for them. Colonel Lavve, chief engineer at Madras, has been bought out for 3,5001. Colonel Cotton will succeed him. Colonel Troward, 27th Bombay Native Infantry, Majors Davidson and Purves, and Captain french, all of the Bombay army, are also, it is said, about to be purchse d out. A Madras paper states that Sir It. Armstrong is in so delicate a state of health that he will bale to return home again immediately . So much for send ing out poor old worn-out men to India. A helmet of white metal, like that of the Horse Guards, is about to be substituted in the Bombay cavalry for the present awkward chaco. The Parsee editor who caused the la'e commotion in the Mussulman community by the publi cation of a portrait and history of Mohamed, who was taken into custody on the 18th ult. by the chief magis trate at the instigation of the Moslem high priest to keep him in safety from violence, at ono time threatened Mr. Spells with a prosecution for illegal imprisonment, but he has now abandoned his intention. Had he not been so placed in custody his life would not have been worth much. During October 854 people died in Bombay, 19 from cholera. In September only 774 deaths took place. The deaths in the European community last month amounted to ten, three of which were from accidents. The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer Ganges, 1,400 tons, 500 horse-power, from Lenden, Aug. 19, and the Cape Oct. 7, arrived here on Saturday, Nov. 1. She starts from China with a mail on the 18th; she is to be placed on our line in place of the Patin. trans ferred to the Ca'cutta line. The Pekin had. a narrow escape from a hurricane during the last voyage from China on the Ist and 2d of October. Her native crew refused to work iu the storm, six of her boats were blown away, and but for the vessel being so strongly built and her captain (Baker) such a g oocfseaman, she must have foundered and all hands been lost. From Berar we learn that a fight took place on the 4th October betwixt two native chiefs and their fol lowers, in which about 50 were killed and as many wounded. A fort was taken, cud some of the de F. nders killed. Matters at the !imam's capital appear to be in statu quo. The electric telegraph betwixt Diamond Harbour and Calcutta appears to be in full operation, an account of a hurricane which occurred during the night of the 21st ult. having been telegraphed to the papers at Calcutta. No accidents had been heard of, though it was feared disasters to the shipping making for the mouth of the Hooghley must have happened. There is literally nothing to report from Sinde, except that scarcely au European at Salcur was out of the sick list. Dr. D. Davies, of the 22d N. 1., had died there in October, after a long illness from fever. At Kurrachee, th e y had nothing to com plain of in the way of sickness, and nothing to report in the shape of news. P.S.—Strong guards (a company) from all the native corps in garrison, are to mount this afternoon in the na tive town—a company of the 78:h Highlanders taking post near the great mosque in tho market place. All the remainder of the garrison to be in readiness to turn out, should they be required. Great excitement and fear prevail amongst the Parsee community, who ore flocking into the fort for protection. It is nut likely anything serious will take place to-night, though to-morrow may see a row of some sort or other. At Madras the banks had recently in effect been closed, they having no money to accommoda!e the mer cantile community on any terms, having locked up all their capital in purchasing Company's paper. The Spectator of the 27th, to-day received, says that the Chartered Bank had, or was about to re-commence busi ness as usual, having probably received a supply of coin from Government- At Calcutta five or six European houses are believed to be on the point of closing. The Lahore Chronicle of the 25th ult. says a report prevailed at Pesha wur on th e 21st of the death of Doat Mahonacd, the ruler of Cebu!. The old Ameer has been so often put out of the world that it will be hard to be lieve in his death even when he has "shuffled off this mortal coil."—.Daily News. SOUTHAMPTON, TUESDAY, DEC.') EC. —....•— Th e Royal Mail Steam Packet Company's ship G rea t W estern, Captain sailed to-day at 3 rat., with th e usua l mails for the Nest Indies, ies, Gulf of Mexico, Sp an i s h Main, and California. Weller, She took out E 8 passengers, a full cargo, and specie value 2.4001. sterling. It is expected that the next homeward mail steamer, the Dee, will be several days behind her time, in consequence of bad weather encountered by that steamer on the outward voyage, and which caused her to put into Fayel ; and the delay deranging the branch packets from St. Thomas to Jamaica and the Gulf will cause a corres ponding detention of the Dee while waiting at St. Thomas for the homeward mails. The United States' mail steam ship Hermann, will leave on Wednesday ( thii day) with the usual semi-weekly American mails, about 100 passen ger:, and a fair freight, •comprising 280 tons of goods from Bremen, 6') tons from Ilavre, and a small quantity from Southampton.
