not undertake not to produce evidence. It would be a great convenience to him not to proceed at that late hour, and he would be able in the morning to show that there no no evidence to go to the jury, and that the plaintiff should be non-suited. The Cazsi BARON said he would read over the notes to see how the evidence exactly stood. The Court then rose. SATURDAY. Bill= V. SIR WILLIAM SOMERVILLE. Thie day, as yesterday, the court was full, but not in conveniently crowded, owing to the previous arrange ments of the High Sheriff, and good order and discipline of the police force under the command of Mr. Inspector Tydd. At half-past ten o'clock the Chief Justice entered, and the names of the jury having been called over, the Court called upon Mr. Brewster, Q.C., to proceed, saying there was a case to go to the jury. Mr. BRIEWSTER then proceeded to say that it was his intention to call for a non-suit, but as there was Theeviden ce to go to a jury, he felt it his d u t y to p roceed. Learned Gentleman then proceeded to address the jury that at great length, contending that ther e was not the slightest ground for a claim on the defendant, and He stated the action was an attempt to extort m oney. that the bill of particulars, furnished in this case, was similar to that famished to Lord Clarendon, and in satisfaction of which a deed of retel9,o had been exe cuted by the plaintiff, in receipt of 2,000!. The Learned Gentleman read a number of letters from the plaintiff, including one addressed to Lord John Russell, stating his intention to proceed at law against Sir William Somerville, for pa yment of his serv i ces t o the Government, in maintaining the cause of law and order, from the beginning o f 1843 to the en d o f 1850. Mr. Brewster commented at much length on the evi dence went h the of the plaintiff, th the case. throu g various The address of the topics conuected occupied the Court from half-past Learned Gentlemau ten until nearly beg-past three o' c lo c k. When he ha concluded, and a ft er Mr. Geale had d been examined in proof of some documentary evidence for the defenCa, Mr. 1--S°4SEC, M.P., was heard in reply to evidence. The Hon. and Learned Gentleman spoke for about an hoar, and, in the course of his address, he commented with some severity upon the conduct of Government officers in having first subsidised the proprietor of a newspaper by corrupting him with money, caressing him to their breast., and then rejecting him when the altered circumitances of the country enabled them to dispense with his services. The CHIEF JUSTICE, in his charge to the jury, pro ceeded at great length to analyze te evidence. After -which the jury retired, and after a delay of seven mi nutes returned into court with a verdict for the &ten 'dant, with sixpence costs. IMPORTANT SALES IN THE ENCUMBERED COURT. Since the opening of the Commission a more re markable and interesting property than that offered yes terday—consisting of the estates of Mr. Hyde, of Castle hyde—has not been announced for sale; and a large attendance of capitalists was attracted on the occasion. It comprises fee-simple and freehold estates in the coun ties of Cork, Limerick, and Tipperary, including the demesne lands and mansion-house of Castlehyde, ad joining the river Biackwater, and famous in the south for natural beauty and exquisite taste in all the details of arrangement. The lot, of which the mansion, gardens, pkasure grounds, and demesne form a part, contains acres, the net yearly rent and estimated value of which (exclusive of the mansion, the timber, and ornam ental associations) are set forth in the rental at 1,160/, a year. This lot was bought by Mr. Sadlier, for 17,5751 The entire estates in this cause, announced for sale yesterday (with the ex ception of two lots out of thirty-four), were disposed of principalif to Irish, and generally to local capitalists. Mr. Sedlier purchased in trust, and it is said for an English party. The rates at which this property was sold ranged from twelve to e;ghteen years' purchase on the present lettings and estimated value (exclusive of timber), and some head-rents brought rates as high as twenty to twenty-five years' purchase. The entire sum realised by the lots sold yesterday is 83,6201. Some portions of the Castlehyde estates are yet to be sold, and it is likely, at the final winding-up, that a residue will be available for the inheritor. MURDER OF THOMAS BATESON, ESQ. The northern journals, rceived this morning, contain accounts of the murder of lihomas Bateson, Esq , J.P., brother of Sir Robert Bateson, Bart., of Carstruse, Derry, and agent of the estates Lord Templeton, in the county of Monaghan. The unfortunate gentleman was attacked on Thursday afterno , ,n, at Corral' nty, near Castleblaney (on his return from a model farm where many labourers are employkd), by several persons armed with fire-arms and bludgeons, and was wounded and beaten in so dreadful a manner that ho remained insensible on the road, and expired soon after he had been removed to his hotel in that town. A brother magistrate of Mr. Bateson, in a letter dated yesterday (Friday) morning, gives the following account of the savage attack upon him:— " On yesterday, our poor friend, Bateson, was at petty sessions with .me and others of the magistrates. After sessions Le went to see his farm, and while he was re turning, between four and flee o'clock in the evening, when close to Mr. Hunt's gate, he was met by three men, one of whom fired at him, but wiihout effect. They then attacked him with the butts of their pistols, and horribly beat in hi. skull—ore of them using a stone, weien was found to-day stained with blood, and having hair upon it. The pistols have also been found, but as yet no clue to the murderers. Dr. Young, of Monaghan, was instantly s nt for. On his arrival he found on exa mination that a large fracture had been made in the scull, and a portion of the brain had protruded. Poor Bateson still lives, but there is scarcely a chance of his recovery. He has not ap ,, k , n since the occurrence, ex cept a few wild words, as if still engaged in battling with his murderers.' Later accounts msntion that Mr. Bateson was re lieved from his sufferings yesterday. All accounts agree in stating that he bore the most excellent character as a kind agent and impartial magistrate, and a good em ployer. As the Louth Advertiser remarks, "He was a man of the most benevolent disposition, and in giving charity he never asked the creed of the object. Ho was instrumental in effecting an abatement in the rents of the tenantry; he caused the whole county cess to be paid OD, the estate, and ho gave full employment to every tenant." This murder is ascribed to Ribbonism, like those of Mr. Mauleverer and Mr. Coulter; and it is stated that the neighbourhood where it occurred is very populous. Already two persons have been arrested on suspicion. COURT CIRCULAR.

LONDON, TO CORRESPONDENTS No communication can be attended to unless authen ticated by the name and address of the writer. Rejected communications cannot be returned. trielland LONDON, MONDAY, DECEMBER 8, 1851. Bloodshed has, happily, ceased in Paris, and the population of France will now have leisure to review past occurrences with a certain degree of calmness, so as to arrive at some deliberate and dispassionate conclusion. Very fortunately for the people of that country, they are enabled to express their sentiments by means of Universal Suffrage, and under the pro tection of the Ballot—their votes, consequently, announcing the real views of the nation upon the question of their own government. Sunday, the 14th of this present December, will witness the commencement of the balloting, and Sunday, the 21st instant, its termination. Until then it is hoped that the community will await with patience the ut terance of the opinions entertained by the public as to the settlement of existing difficulties. Whatever may be the feelings with which mere spec tators have regarded the recent coup d'etat of Louis NAPOLEON, those lookers-on should, at least, suppress their vituperations upon the occurrence until the ideas entertained by the French multitude itself has been authoritatively pronounced. The question at issue is one affecting the interests of the Republic of France, and it is consequently to the citizens of that Republic that we should turn for the judgment to be passed upon the leader of the present Adminis tration. The justification or the condemnation of the coup cr etat resolved upon by the PRESIDENT on Tuesday, the 21:1 of December, will be the result of the approaching election by the Ballot and by Universal Suffrage. In that election the people of France will themselves decide whether late events _ _ were in their nature Criminal or Patriotic. Before the decision announced by the entire country the people of surrounding nations must bow their own views in acknowledgment. It is not for England to dictate to France what conclusion she has arrived at in reference to her government. Neither is it for Belgium, or for Spain, or for any other of the powers and principalities of Christendom. It is to herself alone that France must look for this final determina tion. She it is that must decide pro or con. in this period of embarrassment. Whatever her children may deem most advisable under existing circumstances they can now declare—each adult citizen amongst them speaking from the dictates of his own individual judgment. Should France declare herself for this policy or for that—the one sanctified by the selection must be recognised by the rest of the world as en titled to the popular consideration. Any anxiety that may hitherto have been felt as to the question of secret voting has now been entirely and satisfactorily dissipated. The decree of the PRESIDENT announcing the complete reestablishment of the Ballot has been followed by a letter addressed to the Minister of War, in which Louis NAPOLEON explains his personal sentiments upon the matter to General ST. ARNAUD in very ex• plicit and decisive language. Aware that the suf frages of the army had already been given openly by means of the system of register authorized prior to the revival of the Ballot, the PRESIDENT observes—" As the soldiers who have given in a negative vote might apprehend that it would have the effect of exercising an untoward influence on their career, it is of importance to set their minds at rest. Be good enough, therefore, without delay, to make known to the army that if the mode in which it has voted is different from that according to which the other citizens will vote, it shall be the same for it; that is to say, I wish to be ignorant of the names of those who have voted against me. Consequently, the taking of the votes once terminated and duly verified, I beg of you to order that the registry may be burnt." A course like this is honourable and straightforward. Not satisfied, however, with even this candid avowal of the wishes entertained by himself in regard to the perfect freedom of suffrage to be ex ercised by the multitude, the PRESIDENT has caused his decree and his letter to be endorsed, as it were, by a proclamation to a similar effect, issued from the office and under the signature of M. DE MOUNT, the Minister of the Interior. At the close of this im portant document it is declared, " The PRESIDENT of the Republic desires that all electors shall be com pletely at liberty in the expression of their votes, whether they exercise public functions or not, and whether they belong to the civil pro fessions or to the army. Absolute indepen dence, complete liberty of voting, is what LOUIS NAPOLEON desires to see established." Fortunately for the people of France these are not idle words, inas much as the country actually possesses the two ad vantages of the Ballot and Universal Suffrage. Among the particulars comprised in the latest dis patches received from Paris, it will be seen that there is a formal announcement of the liberation of M. TRIERS. The fact of this remarkable man being set at large once more, and this with such unexpected promptitude, lets the public, we conceive, into two rather important secrets, such as might otherwise have remained concealed, or at least doubtful, but for some such glaring revelation It shows that the position of the PRESIDENT at this moment must be strong indeed, to allow him thus coolly to release from confinement one of the most dangerous politicians in France. It shows, moreover, that M. TRIERS is prepared to give in his adhesion to the Government. The announcement will consequently be viewed by the majority as very significant in its character, and as one also promising largely as to the maintenance of public tranquillity. Recent events have not only been followed by the perfect restoration of peace in Paris, but by the continuance of order among the departments. The journals of the French capital which have reviewed these occurrences are the Patrie and the Constitutionnel, and from the columns of each the truth is sufficiently apparent that the quietude of the metropolis has been thoroughly re-established. In reference to the position of affairs immediately prior to the coup d'etat, the last-mentioned organ records the following incident, " The celebrated M. CHARLES LAGRANGE," it says," now confined in the prison Mazes, saw General LEFLO, who had been just arrested in full uniform, brought in. He advanced towards him laughing, and said, We wanted to get him into the snare, and he has been beforehand with us. Faith, General, it is fa mously played.' These words,",says the Constitutionnel, " completely sum up the question of the struggle be tween the two Powers," meaning the Assembly and the PRESIDENT. In reality, it was, according to the phrase of BURNS, "do or die," with Louis NAro- LEON. The PRESIDENT has seleoted the former in preference to the latter branch of the alternative and the people of France will now have to decide themselves as to the wisdom or the folly of that selection. The long-expected and anxiously looked-for trial in the cause of " Birch v. Somerville" has come off. The wonderful disclosures have been made—the full value of the oracular hints and positive assertions that were put forward has been ascertained—the witnesses have been examined—the jury having heard the evidence on either side, the speeches of the eminent counsel for plaintiff and defendant, have re returned their verdict—and yet the:lrish Government has not been annihilated. The Earl of CLARENDON has not fled in dismay from the Castle. Sir WILLIAM SOMERVILLE still ventures to hold up his head amongst honest men, and his friends do not feel that anything has transpired to retard his anticipated elevation to the Upp er H ouse, so soon as the abolition of the B \N r , h u i m g m a tsogde m ispe c n o s u e n w te i r th fei h t i of s services r O vi y e l Royalty in ymtahyeenablethe represen tative branch of the Legislature.

There was no attempt atlmystification or conceal ment. The inquiry being insisted on, the fullest in formation was afforded. The plaintiff was enabled, under the new Law of Evidence Act, to give testi mony in his own favour, so that he could not only explain the entire transactions that had taken place, and the grounds upon which he sought a verdict at the hands of the jury, but he could detail his own im pressions on all doubtful points, so that if rea sonable they might be accepted by the jury. He had also the assistance of advocates not inferior to any that could be procured in any part of the world. If, then, the case proved a total failure, if it clearly and unequivocally broke down, it must be ascribed to its own demerits, and not to any disadvantage under which the plaintiff laboured during the:progress of the inquiry. On behalf of public journalism, we must strenuously and indignantly protest against the views and opinions put forward by the plaintiff in the course of his evi dence. According to his own statement, he was wil- ling to prostitute his pen by writing for a pecuniary consideration in the " very arduous task" of at tempting to support a Government that was so un popular, and that he conceived to be "influenced by very little :principle." He was, however, quite willing to undertake all the odium and disgrace at tendant upon his venality, provided he received an adequate remuneration. That, however, was left totally unsettled—the stipend was not fixed. Certain sums were paid ; for, unfortunately, and to the deep discredit of the Irish Government, it appears that the proffered services of the hireling were accepted, and money or cheques actually handed over as a return for the support which he afforded. But these payments or presents, whichever they may be considered, were regarded by the VICEROY as marks of gratitude for past services, while the plaintiff gave credit for them as small instalments of the debt that was accruing day by day. He certainly appears to have estimated his literary services at rather a high figure—at a rate which would astonish the weak Iminds of the magnates of the "Row" if claimed by one of their authors. The plaintiff actually received 3,700/. in hard cash, including 2,000/. obtained from the Earl of CLARENDON under the threat of legal proceedings, and accepted as full satisfaction. According to the bill of particulars, however, he claimed no less than 70/. fur every article. This was less than he estimated his services at on the table, when he deliberately swore that he thought " 5,000/. a year would not be too much." It, however, appeared that he was at the same time paying the gentlemen who actually wrote many of these brilliant effusions, or, as he would have it, the amanuensis who transferred to pager the directions which he received from London, for these and other services, the handsome and very liberal salary of 30s. a week, while he was demanding 961. for himself. After such confessions, and after the payment of such enormous sums, there could not be much doubt as to the decision at which the jury would ultimately arrive, even if the full and unconditional release of all claims had not been produced: None can pity Mr. BIRCH for the exposure and expense that he has brought on himself. We regret that the Earl of CLARE NDON should be in any way implicated in such a transaction. We must, however, remember that it was in 1848, when the Young Ireland mania was prevailing, and when measures were required that would not for a moment be thought of under other circumstances, and also that his EXCELLENCY stipulated.merely for articles in support of law and order, and declared that he cared not what was said of himself personally, or of the Administration with which he was connected. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. TRANQUILLITY IN PARIS: BUSINESS RESUMED AS USUAL We have received the Paris journals of Saturday and of yesterday. Tranquillity in Paris was completely restored on Saturday ; the troops no longer occupied the streets, carriages and foot passengers traversed the public ways as usual, and the theatres were open i❑ the evening. At the Bourse the funds continued to rise. The Moniteur of Sunday publishes the following semi-official notice : "Two journals of London—the Morning Chronicle, and the Globe copying the former—publish, concerning the acts of the Government and the deeds of the 2d De cember, the most odious and absurd calumnies. We are authorised to give these journals, whose introduction into France is forbidden, the most complete contradic tion. We learn that the correspondents have received to-day the order to quit France." The same journal publishes a decree, placing the departments of the Allier and the Soane-et-Loire in a state of siege. Another decree restores the church of St. Genevkve, in Paris (the Pantheon), to its original object—that of religion. M. MAURICE DUVAL is appointed Commissioner Extraordinary for the department of the Cotes-du- Nord, Finisterre, Ille-et-Vilaine, Loire Inferieure, Morbihan, Maine-et-Loire, Vendee, and Mayenne. M. CARLIER, the former Prefect of Police, Commis sioner Extraordinary for the departments of the Allier, the Cher, and the Nievre, and eight additional prefects are dismissed. The journals of Sunday publish the following note communicated b y the Government : " All the couriers of this evening (Saturday) have ar rived. There is no bad news. Lyons was perfectly tranquil, nevertheless at St. Gengoux, near Chaton-sur- Saone, the cash -box of pro receiver of the registry duties was pillaged, and a rich pprietor was made to contri bute 2,000 f. Gendarmes and Dragoons have left for Chalons. " Paris is perfectly calm. It has been ascertained that M. Gaston Dussoubs, representative of the Haute Vienne, was killed on one of the barricades. MM. Mathes and Huguenin, two Montagnard representatives, were arrested yesterday." M. TRIERS was set at liberty on Saturday night, and orders have been given for the liberation of M. ROGER (du Nord). The Constitutionnel gives the following account - of the military arrangements on Thursday The General-in-Chief Magnan was informed that, during the night of Thursday, formidable barricades had been raised in the Rue Rochechouart and at the Barrier© Poissonniia - e. By his orders General Carrelot went to those places at nine o'clock yesterday morning with the brigade Canrobert, reinforced by the 3d light in fantry. The barricades were not defended. General measures were besides taken. The quarters which, on Thursday, were the centre of the insurrection were militarily occupied in the evening by troops established at the angles of the streets. Moveable brigades passed along the streets to sweep away any attempts at disorder. The action of General Carrelet was concentrated on the left of the boulevards, in the Faubourgs Poissonniere, St. Denis, St. Martin, and du Temple. The division Levas sear acted on the right in the streets which lead to the Hotel de Ville, and extend to the Faubourg St. An toine. The line of the Boulevards to the B astille was occupied by the division of heavy cavalry, which sup ported the two preceding divisions. The 12th regi ment of dragoons paraded the exterior Boulevards from M ontemarte to the Bastille. General Regnaud occu pied the positions of the Luxembourg, the Pantheon, and the Croix-Rouge. At ono o'clock tranquillity was assured by the movement of those troops, acting with admirable ensemble under the conduct of their chiefs. General Carrelet met with no obstacle, and was seconded -by the unequivocal sentiments of the population. At Montmartre, the mayor, with five or six national guards, was able to restrain the in surgents of his eommune during two days, and three insurgents paid with their lives their criminal enterprise. Yesterday, Montmartre, visited by the troops of General Carrelet, was calm and in se curity. The two companies of the 28th of the line which, the night before, at La Chapelle St. Denis, overthrew with the greatest vigour several barricades, and killed fifteen insurgents, occupied militarily the po sition, which was well guarded. At Belleville and La Villette General Carrelet was received by the acclama tions of the National Guard, who spontaneously as sembled for the defence of order. The 12th Dragoons terminated their operations by visiting several regiments in the neighbourhood. Some men of bad character, who threatened to take up the ra ils of the railway in the environs of the Batignolles, were pursued by the Dra goons and arrested. In the command of General Levas seur, the situation was not less tranquillising. . The Faubourg Saint Antoine , in which was the brigade de Courtigis, was calm and animated with a good spirit. In the centre, two columns , consisting of the brigades Herbillon and Marulaz,visited the rues Saint Denis, Saint Martin, and du Temple. There the several barricades were destroyed. The civil population aided in replacing the paving stones; their good spirit, an instant paralysed by surprise, became aroused, their patriotism revived by the example set by the soldiers. These movements wer e supported by the battalions placed in the rue Rambuteau, and in connexion with the Hotel d e Ville since the pre ceding day. The brigade Forey, detached from the divi sion Renault, left the Faubourg St. Germain by the Pont de la Concorde, and proceeded by the Boulevards, the Rues Poissonniere, Montorgueil, des Prouvaires, the Pont Neuf, the Rues Dauphine andDu Four, up:to the Croix Rouge. These combined movements would 'have crushed the insurrection, if it had dared to rain its bead, but it ad EVENING, DECEMBER 8, 1651. witted itself vanquished. Success was infallible; it was owing to the energy of the troops and the spirit or order which animates them; generals, officers, sub-officers, and soldiers, displayed the greatest ardour. The ge neral-in-chief, Magnan, is still incessantly employed in taking measures for maintaining order. Nothing has been forgotten for securing the welfare and repose of the troops, and at the same time the efficacious and op portune employment of force. Yesterday his generals were recommended to , protect the circulation of vehicles interrupted on the preceding day. Orders were also given to facilitate everywhere the resumption of " In the combats of the 4th and sth," says the Con stitutionnel, " only half of the army of Paris was em ployed. Not a battalion of the neighbouring garri sons was called on to act. A judgment may be formed, from the powerful reserves which the Go vernment disposes of, of the vigorous repression which any new attempt at insurrection would be sure to meet with. Every one will convince himself of the admirable arrangements made by General MAGNAN, and of the rare precision with which the various movements were executed by the Generals under his orders." The 72d Regiment, which attacked the great bar ricade, suffered severely. Lieut.-Colonel LOBEAU and thirty-eight men were killed, and the Colonel and several men severely wounded. This regiment had been stationed at St. Cloud, the residence of LOUIS NAPOLEON, during the whole of the recess. On Friday in the Rue Clery several persons totally unconnected with the " insurrection" lost their lives, in consequence of a butcher's boy having cried out, " Vive la Republique ! a bas Napoleon !" as a de tachment of Lancers and infantry were passing. The infantry fired land the Lancers charged. The boy escaped unhurt, but several persons standing at their shopdoors were wounded. A wholesale cotton mer chant, who went up to a garret to see what was passing, was shot through the head. Another, a wealthy merchant, who was in the act of giving orders to his concierge to shut the gates, was wounded by a Lancer, who singly pursued the mob into a courtyard. Four National Guards were shot dead by the Chasseurs de Vincennes. The following proclamation has been issued : " The President of the Republic and his Govornment will not hesitate to employ any measure calculated to maintain order and save society, but they will always know how to pay attention to the voice of public , opinion, and to the wishes of well inclined persons. They have not hesitated to change a mode of voticg whioh they had borrowed from precedents in history, but w hich, in the actual state of our electoral habits, did not appear to sufficiently ensure the independence of the votes given. The President of the Republic desires that all Ithe elec tors shall be completely at liberty in the expression of their vote, whether they exercise publio tune Lions or not, and whether they belong to the civil proles sions or to the army. Absolute independence, complete liberty of voting, is what Louis Napoleon desires to see esta blished. " DE MORNY, " Paris, Dec. 5. Minister of the Inte ri or." The General Committee for the Revision of the Constitution has addressed the following letter to its correspondents : " Monsieur,—Our Committee has not ceased tth pursue its object—the revision of the Constitution )f, 1848. Two millions of petitioners, a great number of councils of arrondissement, the almost unanimity of the C ouncils- General, and 448 representatives, have acted and voted in the same sense, but all these efforts remained power less. The safety of the country has dictated the measures which the President of the Republic has just taken. The electoral comitia are convoked; the people .is called on to vote a new Constitution, which, whilst meat taming the conquests of 'B9, will preserve France from anarchy and restore to her her strength and her future. In this solemn decision so patriotically pronounced by Louis Napoleon, it is the people which is to pronounc a. You have, Monsieur, by your sincere co-operation sided our committee to fulfil its task; permit it to count r sore than ever on your sympathetic support to insure to Oa) propo sition of the President of the Republic the most imposing majority.— Receive, &c., PEPIN-LEHALLEUR, president; GUYARD-Di ILALAIN, vice-president; P. LAYOLLEE, vice-presid gent; DE BEAUMONT-VASSY, secretary; BONNET DE MAL HERBE, secretary; BRISSON, MAX, .KONIGS WARTER. PORRIQUET, P. DE TASCHER, .113IEDEE THAYER." " P.S. The gravity of the circumstances and the ab sence of several members have not allowed t'ate com mittee to be convoked in a regular manner; and con sequently the above signatures only engage their authors." The PRESIDENT of the Republic has just etdressed the following letter to the Minister of War :-- "My dear General,—l had adopted the mode of voting which consists of each person giving his signa ture, because that mode, employed formerly, uppeared to me to ensure more effectually the sincerity of the election; but, yielding to the serious objections made, and to just representations, I have, as you are awere,just issued a decree which changes the manner of voting. The suffrages of the army are almost entirely gip en, and I am delighted to think that there will be found. but an inconsiderable number who have voted against m.,e. Yet as the soldiers, who have given in a negativ.e vote, might apprehend that it would have the effect 1)1 exer cising an untoward influence on their career, it is of importance to set their minds at resat- Re good enough, therefore, without delay to mak a known to the army that if the mode in which it has 'voted is different from that according to which the other citizens will vote, it shall be the same for it, that is to say, I wish to be ignorant of the names of those who have voted against me. Consequently the taking of the votes once terminated and duly verified, I beg of you to order that the registers may be burnt. " Louis NAPOLEON BONAPA.RTE." The Minister of War has addressed the following proclamation to the army, dated Thursday night : " Soldiers!—You have to-day accomplished a great act of your military life. You have preserved Ole coun try from anarchy and pillage, and saved the :Republic. You have shown yourselves what you will always be — brave, devoted, and indefatigable. France admires you, and thanks you. The President of the Repablic will never forget your devotedness. Victory could not be doubtful; the true people, all honest men, are with you. In all the garrisons of France your companions in arms are proud of you, and will, when called on, follow your example. " A. DE SAINT.ARNAUD The Moniteur Parisien says :-- " A hair-dresser named Gape, residing at the Themes, arrested on Thursday, on the Place de la Madeleine, and took to the Tuileries, Count do Pey rennet, son of the ex-Minister of Charles X. He had two of his fingers cut in effecting this arrest." M. PLEYEL, the pianoforte manufacturer of the Rue Rochechouart, early yesterday morning caused his workmen, aided by some of the working men in the neighbourhood, to demolish the barricades raised duringthe night in the Rue Rochechouart, Rue Belle fond, and Rue de la Tour d'Auvergne. The work men of 'that quarter refused absolutely to take any part in the erection of these barricades. The Patrie contradicts a report that General TARTAS had given in his resignation. The mayor of the 11th arrondissement and his deputies gave a dinner, on Thursday, to General RIPERT and several officers of his brigade. The following dispatches are published in the even ing edition of the Constitutionnel : " Vendee—Napoleon Vendee, 3d. The great majority of the inhabitants approve of the measures. The dema gogical party evince the most profound consternation; the Legitimatists are silent. SaOne-et-Loire—Macon, 3d. Astonishment, anxiety for news from Paris, stupor and dejection of the demagogues. Such is the impres sion produced here, where order has not been for a mo ment disturbed. Dispatches received today from the Prefects of the Deux Sevres, Ardennes, Meuse, Cal vados, Sarthe, ire, Yonne, Lot et Garonne, Ain, Aube, Lace ' Loire, Loiret, Marne, Doubs, Drome, Jura, COte-d'Or, Eure, Indre et Loire, Moselle, Haute- Marne, kayenne, Meurthe, Morbihan , Lot , Norde, Haute-Saone, Seine Inferieure, Somme, Charente- Inferieure, Oise, Orne, Vosges, Haute-Vienne, Vienne, Indre, Allier, ers, Ille et-Vilaine, Eure - et - Loir, Cor rise, Pas-de-Calais, Loire-et-Cher, and Puy-de-Dome, give accounts equally favourable of their respective de partments." The same journal publishes the following letter from Periguex (Dordogne) : " The reception given to the proclamations exceeds everything that could have been expected. The aspect of the town to-day has been that of a _Me. Every coun tenance appears bright with joy. Our brave peasants, who had come to the market, manifested their satisfac tion, and never ceased shouting Vive Napoleon We ought to send him a golden broom,' said one of them in a group, he merits it well for having swept away that set of idlers.' The people in trade bless the measure, and regard themselves as saved." General BOURJOLLY has been appointed to the command of the three military divisions now com manded by General D'ARBOVILLE. General BOUR. JOLLY leaves for Bordeaux this day. To the list of generals who have already been men tioned as having offered their services to the PREBI. RENT of the Republic, must be added General COR. DIN, commander of the department of the Charente. He accompanied Prince LOUIS NAPOLEON in his visit to different quarters. M. BRULELIN, commissary of police of the Presi dency, and senior of the commissaries of police of Paris, has been appointed chief of the municipal police. The funeral of M. BAUDIN, ex-representative of the people, who was shot when defending a barricade, took place at Montmartre. The Journal des Faits states about three hundred persons were present on the occasion. The red triangle, painted on the signs of somo hair-dressers, restaurateurs, and coffeehouse-keepers, to signify that they formed part of what they called fraternal associations, has disappeared without the civil authorities interfering. This emblem, the re production of which might lead to fresh disorders, is not to be permitted to re-appear. Two hundred men arrested at the barricades were taken on Friday under a strong escort to the prison Mazas. Eighty-two others of the most dangerous character, arrested by the National Guard of Belle ville, were also lodged in the prison Mazas. Gold and silver coin were found in their possession. Arrests still continue to be made. Several persons captured on Thursday were yesterday placed in the cellars of the Tuilleries to await their trial by court- LATEST NEW martial. Two hundred and ten of the ex - g ardiens de nuit, who are known to be devoted to LEDRU ROL LIN and CAUSSIDIERF, have also been arrested, and are tie be tried. A man wearing a blouse yesterday attempted to tear down one of the Government placards stuck up at the corner of the Rue Lamartine ; but he was ar rested by some of the inhabitants and some workmen. M. MADIER DE MONTJAU, the Representative, has not died, as at first reported, from the wound received at a barricade ; and it appears likely that he will soon be cured. He is under arrest. A decree of the PRESIDENT of the Republic autho rises M. CHARLES GIRAUD, ex• Minister of Public In struction, to resume his functions as member of the permanent section of the Superior Council of Public Instruction. The department of the Gironde has been placed in a state of siege. The Ami de Ordre of Amiens states that M. LEON MASSON has resigned the post of the Prefect of the department of the Somme, and been replaced by M. BERARD. By decree of the new Prefect the Courrier de la Somme of that city is suspended. The Prefecture of the department of the Cher has issued the following : " Bourges, 4th Dec,, ten o'clock in the morning. " Grave disturbance broko out yesterday at Saint Amend. Armed groups assembled ; one cf them sur rounded and ill-treated the sub-prefect and the commis sary of police; the latter having been seized, struck, and knocked down, killed with a pistol the man who menaced his life. The sub-prefect, the authorities, the gendarmerie, the grenadiers of the 41 st , the hole company of artillery of the national guard, the fire.. men, and numerous volunteers, were promptly on foot, and their energy sufficed to re establish: ordtr in the town. The commissary of police, M. Lambert, admirable for his devotedness during the cholera in 1849, proved himself as coura geous in presence of the bneute. The Remond family, who hold the keys of the belfry, resisted with arms in hind sin armed band, who wished to sound the tocsin. Men of order-have proved themselves unanimous and resolved at Saint Amend, as they were at Sancerre. The prefect, the general, the procureur-general, left in the night with 200 men, cavalry and infantry, and must have arrived at an early hour. The greatest tranquillity prevails at Bouges, Vierzon, Aubigny, Sancerre, and in the rest of the department." By decree of the General commanding the depart ment, the National Guards of the communes of St. Arnaud, Bessais, Arpheuille, and Uzey le Venon are to be disarmed. We read in the Constitutirnnel—" The Minister of Foreign Affairs has received dispatches from a con siderable number of diplomatic agents of the Govern ment, all declaring that the events of December 2 have been viewed abroad in the most favourable manner. The letters which we receive from all the great towns in the proximity of France corroborate this intelligence." The following representatives are still at Mont Val6rien :—Generals Oudinot and Lauriston, Thuriot de la Rosiere, Piscatory, Pascal Duprat, Laborde, Benier, Emile Perin, Euguene Sue, Rigel, Legarde, Renaud, Turgolle, &c. There are at Vincennes MM. Creton, Dahirel, Leo Laborde, Dufougerais, Sauvaire-Barthelemy, Fav reau, l'Abbe Frechon, Teilhard. Among those at St. Lezare are MM. de Remusat and Alfred Nettement. The representatives who arrived at Ham were Generals Cavaignac, Charras, Changarnier, La Flo, Lamoriciare, and Bedeau, and MM. Roger du Nord and Baze.

The Lithographirte Correspondenz states that the late news from France has made a great impression on the King of PRUSSIA'S counsels, and that all possi ble eventualities have been considered by the Mi nisters. The result of these considerations is, that not a single corps of the Prussian army is to be placed on a war footing. The Austrian Ministerial Oesterreichische Corre spondenz of the 3d inst. declares in favour of M. BONAPARTE and his Government. This paper says : " One thing is certain—any power in France which promises to conduct -that country from anarchy to a firm and orderly state of affairs, which promises to es tablish authority and to maintain the sacred foundations of social order, may rely not only on the gratitude of all friends of order in France, but also in all other countries of the continent of Europe." The Wiener Zeitung, too, has in its official part an article eulogizing M. BONAPARTE, and expressing a wish for the success of his measures., BUSINESS RESUMED RESUMED AS 11SVAI; ERA LIBTION OF M.
