THE SUN , TO CORRESPONDENTS No communication can be attended to unless authen ticated by the name and address of the writer. Rejected communications cannot be returned. LONDON, friends. The result, however, will prove eminently beneficial to society. It will show that the law is no respecter of persons—that the aristocratic swindler, who pockets thousands under cover of a .wilful and deliberate falsehood, is as amenable to justice as the common-place cheat, who obtains goods to the value of a few pounds or shillings from a tradesman on untrue representations, and that what has been hitherto regarded as " great sharpness" by a certain class of turfites will be looked upon in another and very different point of view by the judges of the land, who will administer stringent punishment to the too clever gentlemen who resort to such means for providing for an expenditure which they are unable to supply from their legitimate re sources. Let it henceforward be clearly understood that engagements cannot be entered into, or matches made, if any inaccurate statements be put forward on either side, and that the delinquents will be subjected to stringent punishment on convic tion. The procuring compromises or forfeits by un fair means must especially be looked to, for the LORD CHIEF JUSTICE charged the jury " that the main ques tion would be as to what took place when the mare was supposed to be disabled, and the means taken by the defendants to induce the prosecutor to pay the 7,3001. without the match taking place." We do not, of course, mean to include those who, with ample means and resources, patronize the fine old English sport in a fair and straightforward man ner. Such men are deserving of the highest praise. But one by one they are driven from the turf in disgust at the treatment they experience from the ALLEYNES, the D'ARcvs, et hoc geniis omme—persons who having once occupied respectable positions, as sume the appearance of the nicest honour, are prompt to demand satisfaction, and to visit with exposure any delay in liquidating their demands, while they are at the same time engaged in the most nefarious and discreditable transactions. We wish to see the turf flourish as in the olden time, to be assured that every thing will be conducted fairly and properly—that the best horse may always win, or at least that under hand measures may not be resorted to in order to procure a different result. The case of " the QUEEN versus ALLEYNE" will, we have no doubt, tend to the attainment of this great desideratum. It will hence forward be known that pretences, which were hereto fore considered perfectly justifiable, ,come within the scope of the law, and that the party who has been duped may put its machinery into operation to avenge his wrongs upon those by whom he has been defrauded. We trust, too, that yoking officers in her MAJESTY'S service may profit by the instructive lesson afforded—a lesson that may prove beneficial to persons of every class, to the " sharps" as well as to the " flats." The former may perceive that vengeance, though long deferred, will ultimately arrive ; that even the civil tribunals will take cognizance of matters that may be removed from the jurisdiction of the military autho ties, by the retirement of all concerned from her MA JESTY'S service. The latter will see that they need not sit down patiently under their wrongs, but that whenever it can 136 clearly and distinctly proved that they have been victimised, they can obtain redress either as military men or civilians. The case will thus be doubly useful, preventing the necessity for such investigations by removing the causes, and also inducing the sufferers to come forward whenever sufficient proof of the fraud can be obtained. The facts and circumstances of the case are so well known as to require but brief notice. The prosecutor, Mr. KENNEDY, a young gentleman of considerable expectations, was at an early age appointed to a commission in a regiment then quartered in Canada. When going out to join, it was his mis fortune to have as a fellow-passenger Mr. HOLDER ALLEYNE, who appears to have looked on the raw boy as an excellent pigeon. On his arrival he found the other:defendants, M‘GEacur ALLEYNE and D'Aacr, holding commissions in the same corps to which he had been gazetted. HOLDER ALLEYNE, who was stationed in the neighbourhood, and who could not afford to lose sight of his " young friend" was elected an honorary member of the mess. The ensign was speedily initiated in the art and mystery of betting, and the very na tural conclusion was that within two or three years after the unfortunate young man attained his majority he was left penniless. TWENTY TWO TUOUSAND POUNDS sterling, which he had re ceived on coming of .ego, was completely dissipated. His bosom friend, HOLDER ALLEYNE, who had received the lion's share of the spoil---12,0001. in the whole, including the 7,3001., the subject of the indict ment, kindly lending his brougham to convey the victim to the Queen's Prison. The assistance of friends extricated him from the difficulty in which he was placed. He was rescued from gaol and afforded an opportunity of retrieving his fortunes, while proceedings were taken against those by whom he was despoiled, the result of which we have seen. The just and salutary severity of Lord CmarßaLL will inflict a heavy blow and great discourage ment on such transactions for the future, It is said that the defendants have fled from the country, leaving their bail to " pay forfeit." This would be a fitting conclusion to their very honourable career. But even if Captain HOLDER,ALLEYNE should escape the two years' im prisonment to which he has been sentenced, he must be a perpetual exile from his native land, and his case will be held up to all future generations as an ex ample of the evils that follow a departure from the course of probity, as another illustration of the truth of the adage that " honesty is the hest policy." THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. TRANQUILLITY RESTORED. We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. It appears from the statements which are made in various letters that tranquillity has been completely restored ; the restoration of that tranquillity being, we believe, in some measure attributable to the pub lication of the following decree restoring Vote by Ballot. " FRENCH REPUBLIC. " In the name of the French people. " The President of the Republic, considering that the mode of election promulgated by the decree of the 2d of December had been adopted in other circumstances as guaranteeing the sincerity of election; "But, considering that the essential object of the de cree is to obtain the free and sincere expression of the will of the people— " DECREE 8--. " The articles 2,3, and 4, of the decree of the 2d December are modified as follows: " Art. 2. The election will take place by universal suffrage. All Frenchmen are called to vote aged twenty-one years, in the enjoyment of their civil and political rights. " Art. 3. They must justify either by their being in scribed on the electoral lists drawn up in virtue of the law of the 15th March, 1849, or by the accomplish ment, since that period, of the conditions required by that law. " Art. 4. The ballot will be opened during the days of the 20th and 21st December in the capital of each com mune from eight A.M. till four P.M. " The suffrage will take place " By secret ballot; " By yes or by no; " By means of a bulletin, either manuscript or printed. "Done at the Elysee, the 4th December, 1851. " LOUIS NAPOLEON BONAPARTE. " The Minister of the Interior, " DE MORNY." This is the first decree issued by the PRESIDENT which is headed French Republic, and from the mo • went it was placarded the agitation in Paris dimi nished. It is said that the Socialists and Reds took but little part in the imeute of Thursday ; they con sider that the Republic as they would desire to see it is at present impossible, and of the two prefer LOUIS NAPOLEON to the Burgraves. The seat of the imeute was in that portion of Paris which may be considered as the head-quarters of Orleanism, and the faubourgs, in which the mass of the workinglpopulation reside, was comparatively undisturbed. That the greater number of those killed in the barricades belonged to the upper classes of society, was evident by their dress. We regret to state, that on Thursday night several insurgents who had been taken prisoners were shot in cold blood, in the Champ de Mars.

''' .-'''''. C Ai to r. .. _ LONDON , SATURDAY, DECEMBER 6, 1851. Our announcement last evening as to the restora tion of tranquillity in Paris has been fully verified —as likewise in reference to the satisfactory accounts received from the departments. How now, about the Alarmists ? If we were to credit their statements, the French capital would at this moment be resounding with the terrible sounds of civil warfare, if it bad not already been delivered up to those wretched factions whose watchwords are Massacre and Spoliation. According to these most sagacious persons, Louis NAPOLEON was to be hurled from authority by the might of an outraged and infuriated population. Their description of the state of things was really something quite overpowering. Hostile forces were advancing from various quarters towards the metropolis. General NEUPIAYER had declared himself against the Government. General MAGNAN was wavering as to his sentiments in regard to the PRESIDENT. General BEDEAU was dead in conse quence of the wounds received by him on the occasion of his arrest. General LAMORICIERE had escaped in company with the soldier sent to take him prisoner, LEDRU ROLLIN was already in Paris, having arrived there to organize an ultra-democratic insurrection. LOUIS NAPOLEON himself had been formally outlawed by the High Court of Justice—a decree being actu ally given containing his impeachment. The regi ments generally were revolting against the supreme authorities. Barricades were being constructed in all directions, and the people were resolved to wreak a summary and dreadful punishment on the leaders of the recent movement. Such were the confident assurances of those whose wishes in spired them with a conviction that Louis NAPOLEON could not long continue the supreme head of the Republican Government. Now what is actually proved to be the case in each and all of these parti culars ? Why, that every statement above given is a lie—monstrous, wilful, and transparent. No armies were marching on Paris. Lyons, Nantes, Arras, Rouen, and Lille were not in a state of open insubor dination. General NEUMAYER had not declared against the ruling Administration. General MAGNAN had not hesitated in his loyalty. General BEDEAU was not dead in consequence of his wounds—never having been wounded at all, but remaining up to this instant in perfect health. General LAMORICIERE had not escaped from the hands of his captor, being all the while comfortably ensconced in the Chateau at Ham, with the rest of the political detenus. LEDRU ROLLIN had not arrived in the capital, orders on the contrary having been issued for the purpose of pre venting his even landing on the coast of France. The PRESIDENT himself had not been impeached by the High Court of Justice, no sentence having been pronounced, much less published, by order of that council against Louis NAPOLEON or against any member of his Government. The troops had not re volted in any single instance, being unanimous in their devotion to the distinguished personage presiding over the Administration. Barricades were not being erected in all quarters, having only been raised in a very few instances and forthwith demolished by the soldiers. While the people had not displayed any enmity towards LOUIS NAPOLEON, having, on the contrary, evinced by every conceivable act and ward their enthusiasm for the elected of six millions of Re publicans. So much for the impudent fabrications of those parties who, in opposing the present ruler of France, would seem to be' openly advocating the cause of anarchy. As we observed yesterday, it is difficult to conjecture what the real wishes of the friends of liberty are in reprobating the course pursued by the PRESIDENT, seeing that that course has led to the formal establishment of the systems of secret voting and of universal suffrage. Having obtained both those inestimable boons from Louis NAPOLEON, the nation has nothing further to expect or even to desire by way of security to the freedom of the population. Li crushing his numerous antagonists with the strong arm of ministerial authority and with the might of the military power at his command, Louis NAPOLEON has been compelled, by the principles of self protection, to act with the most rigorous determination. Hence the rigorous conduct of the Minister of War in putting an end to the very first outbreak of rebellion among the disaffected —the proclamation issued under his signature, hold ing out the punishment inflicted by the laws of war against all parties either found in arms er in the construction of barricades. It would have been wiser, however, to have eschewed in every instance the adoption of such measures as must inevitably produce reprisal at the very earliest opportunity. The shooting of a batch of prisoners in cold blood on Thursday night in the Champ de Mars was not merely a crime on the part of those in authority, but a blunder of a very grievous character. Had we the power to address to them directly or indirectly our sentiments in reference to this very lamentable transaction, we would, as the admirers of their policy in every other particular, urge them with all possible earnestness to avoid any repetition of these proceed ings. They cannot but be detrimental to their in fluence throughout the community—an influence which must otherwise remain unrivalled and un shaken. Let us consider the occurrence referred to, therefore, as a blunder—merely as a blunder—and as a blunder that runs no risk of a repetition. Reason has assured the French people, that in upholding Louis NAPOLEON they are best consulting the interests and the liberties of the community. We must hope that reflection will only confirm them in this opinion, and that under the shield of the ballot, and with the trenchant sword of universal suffrage, they will be able to stand henceforth securely as a race of freemen in defence of the national sove reignty. Louis NAPOLEON has acted in this tremendous emergency in a manner worthy of his august posi tion. He has revealed a sagacity that has set at defiance the wiles of a gigantic conspiracy, of a conspiracy conducted by the cleverest political partisans in the whole of France. He has revealed a courage, moreover, amounting to the extreme of temerity, and of an almost extravagant hardihood— and by this means, by his dauntlese bearing and im perturbable audacity, has awed the anarchists into quietude, and disarmed even the advocates of his as sassination. For, inasmuch as he has crushed conspi racy, and conquered terrorism, and maintained order, and protected property, and revived the ballot, and re-established universal suffrage, Louis NAPOLEON has earned a right to the admiration of his contemporaries. He has shown himself capable of outwitting the craft of statesmen, and of outgeneralling generals who are among the most illustrious Captains of the Age. He has done more than this—he has shown by a thou at i tzd acts of ' great th a t h e i s wor th y o f b e i ng th e representa reatpeophlee isi that Prince.he is the Champion of a Republic, though th e h e i r o f an E mperor, that he i s a Patriot,- though Few events of recent years ha ve crea t e d grea t er exc it e ment in the sporting world than the trial in th e Court of Queen's Bench o f t h ree persons, who autpie leastd rather i bad d formerly held co mmi ssions in her M and who since their retiremen t had occupied service, prominent posit ions on the turf', nrce attained considerab le notoriety from the magnitude of their betting tra nsactions. The individganalt:.e question (who were denominated captains by cour n tesy, and who were certainly better entitled to the distinction than the majority of those assuming it, having actually attained that rank at one time,) were indicted for having obtained the sum of 7,300/. ster ling from the prosecutor (formerly a brother officer), and also for a conspiracy to defraud the unfortuate victim. The disclosures made during the progress of t he trial were of the most startling description, show i> >g how the modern Sir MULUERRY HAWKS manage tl ieir ;1 pull-s, and how the VERISOPHT3 of the present ds \y are stripped of their fortunes by pretended SATURDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 6, i6Ji. pect of Paris was perfectly calm. At about that time, however, persons were moving about spreading rumours of defections in the troops, of regiments marching upon Paris in the interest of the Assembly, and other things equally unfavourable to the President of the Republic. Some of these rumours, which were evidently prepara who had advanced some way down the boulevard in ac companying the 72d Regiment now at once precipitately returned, and a general rush towards the Rue St. Fiacre took place. Before, however, they could reach it a feu cle peloton broke out along the whole line of troops from the place where the first discharge was made, to the Rue Montmartre. The consternation of the fugitive parties was at the highest pitch, and ono man having fallen, just at the corner of the street, a scene of confusion was produced by several others falling over him. As not one of these persons, however, received any wound, the opinion seemed to prevail that the soldiers had fired in the air, to clear the boulevard and intimidate the disaf fected. " The Patric of yesterday evening states that an at tempt was made during the day upon the Palais do Justice, and for a short time the proceedings of the tribunals were suspended. The insurgents were re pulsed by a company of the Repulican Guard. The marie of the 2d arrondissement was also attacked. The insurgents had seized the mayor, when on the outside of the building, and ordered him to go with them into the marie tand deliver the arms. On their arrival there, however, they found an armed force, who rescued the mayor and drove away the insurgents. " An immense number of arrests were made during the day; among them are, it is said, some ex-represen tatives, and several persons whose social position is very superior to that of most of the men engaged in the insur rection. " We regret to state that many persons unconnected with the insurrection, and who from a most unpardon able curiosity had proceeded to the disturbed quarters, were killed or wounded in the charges made by the troops when pursuing the fugitive insurgents. " The evening edition of the Constitutionnel mentions among the false rumours that were current yesterday the revolt of some regiments and their march upon Paris under General Neumayer, the arrival of Ledru Rollin iu Paris, the death of General Bedeau, and an impeachment of Louis Napoleon by the High Court of Justice. M. Ledru Rollin, says the Comtitutionnel, is not arrived, and strict orders are given to prevent his landing. Ge neral Bedoan is at Ham in perfect health, and General Neumayer is at Nautes in retirement. The High Court of Justice has not given any decree of a n y kind against the President of the Republic. The same journal, alluding to some absurd reports about the ex-Representatives who were arrested at the Mairie of the 10th arrondissement, states that they have been set at liberty. Many of them insisted on remaining in prison, but they were put into hackney-coaches, three by three, and taken by officers de paix to their respec tive homes. "The Moniteur Parisien of yesterday evening says— ' News of the most unfounded character has been circu lated to-day as to the state of the departments. It was said that Rouen, Arras, Lille, and Lyons, were in full insurrection. We contradict these reports in the most formal manner. The dispatches received by the Go vernment unanimously agree in saying that the acts of the President have been received with the most lively sympathy.' " On the invitations which he had received from the Mayor of Montmartre, and in order to tranquillise the inhabitants of his commune, Commandant Kartl occupied the posts at the barriers by the National Guard, who promptly responded to his orders. All the commune is peaceable. "ADDITIONAL Dorams.—The plan of operations de cided on by the General-in-Chief for yesterday's em ployment of the troops appears to have been as follows. As the insurrection was concentrated between the Hotel de Ville, the Pointe St. Eustache, and the Boulevards, the divisions Carrelet and Levasseur were orded to com mence at one o'clock to move forward to put it down. Gen. Levasseur, with the brigade llerbillon, left the Hotel do Vile and marched on the Pointe St. Eustache, where Gen. Dulac was posted. The brigade Maruluz, about the same time, left the Place de la Bastile, and marched on the same point. Whilst these movements were being carried into execution, the brigades of Cotte, Bourgon, and Canrobert took up position on the Boulevards near the Porte St. Denis on the one side, and towards the Porte St. Martin on the other. The attack then took place, and the barricades were carried with groat reso lution, and without much difficulty. Some partial agi tions which were manifested on other points were quickly put down. The gnartier latin and the Faubourg St. Marceau remained calm. The division was in position there, but had no occasion to act. " The cavalry was not engaged, but the brigade Rei bell (Ist and 7th Lancers) received orders, as night came on, to sweep the Boulevards in their whole leagth, and to disperse all hostile groups in the centre, batta .ons of Chasseurs being charged with the same duty on tory to a movement, obtained credence and excited - great uneasiness. At about twelve o'clock it was generally reported that barricades had been erected at the Porte St. Denis and Porte St. Martin, rues Baubourg, Transnonain, St. Mery, and St. Martin. This rumour was subsequently found to be quite correct. The alarm now became so great that not only in the neighbourhood of the disturbed district, but in other parts of the boulevard, the rue Richelieu, the rue Vivienne, and all that part of Paris, the tradesmen closed their shops. The fact that no troops were at that time on the spot produced a sensation of panic which is almost in describable. This, however,:was in some degreo allayed when it was known that about two o'clock a large body of troops had arrived, and were successfully commenc ing the destruction of the barricades. It appears that during the night an attempt had been mado to excite the people by a repetition of the proceeding which produced such serious results in February, 1848. About 100 men en blouse, commanded by several chiefs of sections, and preceded by two torches, paraded two corpses, of which they had become possessed after the carrying of the barricades which had been erected in the Faubourg St. Antoine and the rue St. Marguerite, went through the rues Grenetat, Beaubourg, and Trans• nonain, shouting Aux Armes! A few determined ser gens-de-villo attacked this party, and carried off the dead bodies to the Morgue. Speculating on this vino of horror, the rioters became more numerous, and pro ceeded to man four barricades which they had formed in this quarter. They were attacked by some detach. ments of the division of General Levasseur, and carried in a few moments. Several insurgents were killed, and about 50 chiefs of sections and men en blouse were ar rested. Three other barricades were abandoned at Midnight by the insurgents. Yesterday morning, at an early hour, the Prefect of Police having been informed that 120 ontagnard ex-representatives had met during the night and drawn up a manifesto, took successful means to prevent its being posted up. The first barricades in the rue Boaubourg and Transnonaiu were carried at about 12 o'clock. The troops after the victory showed great clemency towards the insurgents; instead of shoot ing them, as they would have been justified in doing by the military law in such cases, they were taken pri soners, and removed to the Conciergerie. Many of them who were seriously wounded were carefully attended to by the military surgeons. At ono o'clock the insurrec tion had evidently made much progress. The insurgents appeared to be entirely masters of the quarters St. Dinis and St. Martin. The houses forming the angle of these two boulevards were taken possession of by a ,great number of men armed with muskets and swords, many of which had been obtained by robbing the shops of armourers. In the rues St. Denis and St. Martin several insurgents entered the houses, and threw out of the windows articles of furniture to assist in forming barricades. There was great stupor in the whole of the quarter until the arrival of th© Chasseurs de Vincennes and some regiments of the line, who in a few moments carried the barricades and gave no quarter to the insurgents. At half-past four the troops were .masters of the whole of the ground which had been occupied by the insurgents, and the wounded were carried away to the hospitals. The number of dead is said to be very considerable. The loss on the side of the troops is comparatively small. A barricade which had been erected in the Rae de Bac was crrried without difficulty by a few sergens-de-ville. Se veral lamentable incidents occurred during the day. A republican guard, carrying dispatches, was massacred by a band of insurgents. Two officers of the line, who were passing along the Boulevard Bonne Nouvelle, were seriously wounded, and an officer of the staff of the National Guard was struck off his horse. At about Eve o'clock no more firing was heard, and many of the troops were ordered to their barracks for refresh ments. The great thoroughfares, however, were occu pied by military force, in order to prevent any farther assemblage. " One of our reporters gives us the following account of what took place on the Boulevards, part of which he was himself an eye witness to:— " During the early part of the day, the Boulevards were perfectly quiet, and carriages and other vehicles were allowed to pass. Omnibuses were even running to the Place de la Bastille up to twelve o'clock. The orders to prevent all circulation of vehicles, which had been issued by the Prefect of Police in the morning, then were acted on more rigorously, and at last only foot-passengers were permitted to move about. A little after one o'clock, a curious circumstance was percepti ble; the two currents coming from the Madeleine and the Place de la Bastille found themselves suddenly ar rested, the ono before coming to the Porte St. Denis, and the other near the Porte St. Martin, by the fact of bar ricades being erected at those two places. That of the Porte St. Denis was of unusual strength, being formed of overturned carriages, large blocks of wood, and other heavy materials. At the other side, coming from the Place de la Bastille, the first barricade was erected in the deep cutting which, it may be remembered, was effected some time back to lighten the pull on carriages going up the hill just beyond the Porte St. Martin. This barricade was of immense height, being formed altogether of overturned carriages. Farther down w as another barricade, formed in the lower part of paving stones, brought from the neighbouring streets, and above with tables, pieces of timber, furniture taken from the neighbouring houses, and other articles, which chance afforded. Also the iron palings placed at the gate were torn down, and added to the heap. The other barricades of a somewhat similar character, that is, more capable of resistance in appearance than in reality, ' were erected beyond the gate towards the Madeleine. A little way down in the Rue du Faubourg St. Mar tin, another barricade was raised, almost entirely of paving stones, and again farther on stood another, through which no passage could be effected except through a piece of iron paling placed at one side, and serving as a gate. The troops began to move down the boulevards towards the Porte St. Denis about one o'clock, and the necessary measures being taken for an attack, the advance was made about two on the large barricade there erected; more resistance was made than was expected, but at last the troops obtained possession of this first and greatest obstacle, and, where, in fact, the insurgents had concentrated their principal forces. The action here was an exceedingly sharp one, and it was even found necessary to batter down the barri cade with cannon. The inside of the barricade, when the troops entered, was found covered with corpses and wounded men. The insurgents who escaped fell back on the barricades near the Porte St. Martin, spoken of above. Here, after the ground had been cleared away near the Porte St. Denis for the passage of troops, another series of attacks took place by the troops, on the four barricades which had been erected across the boulevards. Tho insurgents had here taken possession of several of the houses at each side, from which they appeared to fire on the troops. When the attack took place, it was found necessary to send bodies of engineers into those houses to dislodge the insurgents. The resistance here was not by any means a vigorous one, and the troops successively, and without much trouble, took possession of the various barricades on the boulevard. An explanation of this lukewarmness in the defence of the insurgents may be found in the admission made in the Rue du Faubourg St. Martin to a colonel of a foreign power, who was taken prisoner by the insur gents, when coming up from the Place de la Bastille, whither he had gone to see a friend in the early part of the day:—' I was returning quietly home, to the quar ter of the Madeleine,' said this gentleman, ' when on arriving near the Porte St. Martin I was stopped by several men in blouses, who insisted on my accompanying them to their leaders. I could do nothing but comply, since I was one against a multitude. I was carried before two well-dressed men, each wearing the rosette of a representative of the people, and was by name, position in life, busi nessthem i ninterrogatedneighbourhood as to my , &c. Having always through out life found the truth the safest policy, I produced my passport, and as:soon as these gentlemen caw that I was a military man of some standing, they proposed to me to give them the benefit of my experience. I replied to them that I was altogether a stranger to politics; that I took no part in what was pas s i ng; and that it would be to depart from the rule of conduct which had actuated my whole life, were I to give either party the slightest aid by act or advice. This reply seemed to disconcert them, and they, with some men in blouses, who appeared to be also leaders, endeavoured to shake my resolution. Finding, however, that I was immovable in my deter mination, they at length ordered me to be removed and watched carefully. I accordingly was taken to a house lower down the street, where I was civilly treated. After some time, news was brought that the troops had prevailed at the Porte St. Denis, and would soon advance. This seemed to cause great consternation, and I asked one of my guardians what he thought would bo the result at the barricades at the Porte St. Martin. " Parbleu !" said he, " the result is certain enough, you will not remain here long, for the troops will not meet with much resistance." " But, why not?" I asked, " You and these other men around seem determined fellows." " As to that, sir," replied the man, " I believe we are, but our heart is not in this matter. I do not believe that a single honest work man is concerned in raising these barricades; the persons engaged in it are a set of men not belong ing to this quarter.", " But you," I observed, " form part of the men offering resistance —why are you doing so?" " Well, we believe it to be the safest thing we can do to save ourselves and families from injury." Shortly after my guardians dropped off, one by one, and I, not con ' ceiving myself bound to remain any longer, quietly slipped away, and taking a different direction from the boulevards, made a detour, and at last gained my lodg ing.' A circumstance occurred on the Bo ulevard Pois ' , sonniere, about half-past three o'clock, when the troops were attacking the barricades at the Porte St. Martin, which caused the greatest alarm ; the dif ferent issues to the boulevards on the southern side being blocked up in the ne ighbourhood of the Porte St. Denis. Those persons who proceeded there, prompted by cariosity or necessity, found the Rue St. Fiacre, the nearest street, open. In consequence, about 150 persons had collected at the end of that street, communicating with the boulevard. The 72d Regiment of the line o ccupied the whole breadth of the great thoroughfare, and no person was allowed to tra verse it on any pretext whatever. The sound of the musketry fired a little below came up on the wind al most as loud as if it were fired close by. An order was given to the regiment to make room for the passage of a considerable train of artillery and a party of guides, and the whole had passed, as well as the 72d itself; the 17th Light Infantry having then taken its place opposite the Faubourg Poissonniere, when a loud fusillade proceeded from a house on the Boulevart Bonne Novelle, said to be the sale-rooms for M. Sallandrouzs,'s carpets, and some of the soldiers fell wounded. In an instant the whole line of troops was in agitation, as if an electric shock had couamunicated itself Ito every mar, The persons the sides. " The conduct of the troops has been remarkable for calm determination and moderation, but the army has to deplore some losses, Lieutenant-Colonel Loubou, of the 72d was killed, and Colonel Quillier, of the same regiment, was wounded, as well as several other officers. " It is very evident, from the system of conduct pur sued at the construction of the barricades, that the working men had little to say to the matter. It was always the same plan—a well-dressed man, with a pocket-book in his hand, putting down the names of the mon in blouse, and directing their operations." The National Guards took no part in the &acute on either side. The following proclamation, addressed to them by General LAWOESTINE, was placarded in Paris yesterday : " Soldiers of the National Guard,—l have not called on you to take part in the new struggle mid,rtaken by the excitors of anarchy against society, and so valiantly sustained and terminated by our brave army. I know that if your co-operation had been necessary the coun try and your General might have relied on it, but you have made the impulse of your patriotism yield to the obedience which I had asked from you. I always ex pecied as much from you, and I tlianA yuu for it. " The General Commanding-in-Chief, LAWOESTINE (Countersigned) " VIEICRI, Col.-m-Chiet of Staff.' The fact is, the authorities bad their misgivings as to which side the National Guards might take, and therefore strict orders were given that the rappel should not be • beaten, and that they should not be called out. The following proclamations were posted yesterday morning : PROCLAMATION. (Without Date or Signature.) MINISTRY OF JUSTICE. False news aro being spread in Paris about the state of the provinces. Doubtless false news are also spread in the provinces about the state of Paris. The insur rection is put down in the capital. All the news from the departments are excellent. The Government is certain that order will be maintained upon all points of France. for all eventualities. I shall have the honour, Monsieur le Ministre, to keep you informed of all that passes in my department.—l am, &c. " DE VINCENT." The following proclamation was issued by the Prefect of the department du Nord on the receipt of the news from Paris " Inhabitants of the department du Nord,—Lonis Napoleon Bonaparte, the elect of the people, who has been invested by the national will with the right of watching over the security and grandeur of France has baffled by his patriotic acts the factious schemes . of parties. Whilst these parties, a prey to i ntastme rivality, caused pertubation in public opinion, and op posed themselves to the peaceable development of the productive forces of the country, Louis Napoleon Bona parte, devoted to its agricultural and manufacturing, its material and moral interests, has put an end to that painful situation. In the name of the • people, in the ' name of society and order, compromised by in sensate machinations, Louis Napoleon Bonaparte proclaims the maintenance ot the Republic, and calls on France alone to raise her sovereign voice to decide herself on her proper destinies. That is a certain pledge of alliance between the nation and the President. Inhabitants of the department du Nord, you have confided the deposit of your rights, your interests, your tranquillity, to the hands of Louis Napoleon Bona parte. He would not allow that deposit to be changed by the encroachments of parties; and he has dispersed them. This great mission of patriotism and order, the object of which is the salvation ot France is worthy of being understood, and approved by all. For my part, called on to associate myself to this undertaking of de votedness, I am resolved to concentrate all my energy to it. I will hesitate at no sacrifice to cause to triumph in your department the principles of liberty and order, principles which protect labour and industry ; and auy insensate attack on them shall be followed by a prompt and exemplary repression. I have a right to your conti deuce, and I count on your co-operation. " LESSON." The Moniteur du Loiret gives the following ac count of the attempt made on the 3d instant to seize on the Hotel de Ville of Orleans : " Messrs. Martin and Michot-Boulet, representatives, had written to their friends that they would arrive from Paris on Wednesday. This they did at about eleven in the morning in a chaise de poste, and alighted at the house of a democrat of their acquaintance. Atter a short stay, they set out at the head of some hundreds of persons who had been informed of what was going on, amidst cries from their followers of ' Vivo le Constitu tion,' each man wearing on his hat a white paper bearing the words Republique et Constitution. Other persons joined them as they went along, the two representatives warmly shaking hands with every new comer. They proceeded straight from the Place de I'Etapo to the Hotel de Ville, and at once made a rush to obtain possession of the building. A few National Guards, who were lounging on the steps, opposed all the resistance in their power, the assailants above all endeavouring to seize on the arms which were piled up inside. Some other National Guards having come out, on hearing the noise, the assailants were prevented from entering, bat the struggle still continued. The deputy-mayors, being apprised of what was passing, hurried to the spot, and one of them, M. de Massy remonstrated with the two representatives on the folly of their conduct. One of them said that they would cease at once if a proclamation was issued by the authorities contrary to those which had just taken place at Paris. M. Martin added that, as a means of conciliation, he asked to be introduced with his colleague to the Mayor. In order to gain time, this was consented to, and the two representatives were introduced into the cabinet which was occupied by the Mayor. M. Martin then asked whether their liberty would be in all cases protected. The reply was, that as the whole authority was vested in tho hands of the military, no guarantee could be given on the point. Just at this moment, the troops of the line surrounded the Hotel de Ville, so that it became utterly impossible for any one to leave the building. General Grand, accompanied by several offi cers and men, entered the Hotel do Ville, and gave orders to have the representatives arrested. The muni cipal authorities thereupon observed to the General that the two representatives had entered into conference with the Mayor, on the consent of his deputies. The General replied, that being invested with full powers of every kind, he could not pay attention to any act of the municipal body. The two representatives were then ar rested without any difficulty, as well as a crowd of other persons; some of them were concealed in the garrets. Not less than 47 persons were marched off to prison without the slightest manifestation being made in their favour by the population. Amongst these persons are the two representatives, Doreira, ex-prefect; Tavernier, editor of the Constitution; several compositors of the same journal, Ferreol, an advocate, &c. In the evening the town was perfectly calm. A proclamation from General Grand was placarded everywhere in two hours after the attempt on the Hotel de Ville. It declared that as the state of siege had been proclaimed in the first military division, of which Orleans formed part, the General was resolved to use the most, severe mea sures towards any one who should disturb public order. He added that the union between the troops and Na tional Guards was complete." General BOURJOLLY has been dispatched to Bor deaux to proclaim that city in a state of siege. The authorities have, it is said, declared against the Pius. SIDENT. The following representatives are retained priso ners in the fortress of Mont Valerian :—General de Lauriston, General Oudinot, de Reggio, M. Pisca tory, M. Thuriot de la Rosiere, M. Eugene Sue, M. Pascal Duprat, M. Anthony Thouret, and seven other Montagnards. It is said that the greater number of those killed on Thursday were passengers and spectators who be came entangled among the barricades ; the insur gents, whose great object appears to have been to tire the troops, always retiring. Among these unfortu nate victims of curiosity are Mr. PARISS, the English apothecary, and Mr. HOFF, a brother of the well known dentist. M. DE MONTALEMDEET, and consequently, as a matter of course, the Jesuit organ, the Univers, have declared for Louis NAPOLEON. There was a considerable amount of business transacted at the Bourse, and Government Securities rose consider ably.

The news from France has created great excite ment in Prussia. So long as the contest is confined to France no attempt at interference will be made, and the feeling of the Berlin Cabinet is described as being rather favourable to Louis NAPOLEON. The Hanoverian Chambers were opened on the 4th. The death of the KING was officially announced, and a variety of measures of finance and legal organisation were recommended to the consideration of the Cham ber. The report of the union of the Steuer Verein with the Zollverein was read ; it stated that Schaumburg-Lippe and Oldenburg had assented to the measure, though the treaty was not formally , completed by those States. The Hanoverian Go vernment saw in the incorporation an essential means of promoting the material interests of the country, though some temporary inconvenience might be connected with it. The Government could not have calculated on long maintaining a condition of commercial isolation. The concessions made to Hanover by the treaty were not more than just; and though it involved some increase of taxation, the general prosperity of the German States would be promoted by the measure, and new sources of com mercial activity opened to Hanover itself. NEW LONDON AND OXFORD LlNE.—This line 18 to run from Wolvercote, two miles on this side of Oxford, via High Wycombe (just under the Castle Hill), Beacons field, Uxbridge, near Heston and Cranford, joining the loop line of the South-Western line at its 11% miles from the Waterloo station—that is, not far from Breutford. It takes, therefore, the route of the old coach road to Oxford. Its total length from the junction with the loop line of the South-Western Company to Wolvercote is 50 miles and 5 furlongs; to Oxford 48 miles. The main object of the line is to give the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton Com pany an outlet to London.— Worcester Chronicle. DARING EXPERIMENT.—On Saturday evening a most extraordinary accident occurred to a young woman, the servant of a family residing in Broughton-street. It appears that for some time an intimacy has existed bet ween the young woman and a son of Mars belonging to one of the regiments at present stationed in the city. The family had thought proper to forbid the nocturnal meetings of the two lovers, and the servant was cautioned accordingly. The course of true love, however, was not to be thus obstructed; for on Saturday evening the young woman, having an as signation with her gallant lover, took measures for letting herself down to the street from the window, a height of four stories. Having procured a rope of sufficient length for the purpose, she knotted it at short intervals, so as to provide a holding for her feet and hands, and, having fastened it to the window-sill, she proceeded to the perilous task of de scending by it to the ground. The poor woman, however, had no sooner trusted herself to the rope than, either from fear or some other cause, she relaxed her hold, and was pre cipitated to the ground. She was immediately removed to the Royal Infirmary, when it was found that she had sus tained several severe injuries. She was still alive last night, but was not expected to survive long. It may be stated, to show the determination of the unfortunate woman, that in her pocket was found a pencil note, to the effect that if she lost her life it would be in consequence of her own rashness.— Edinburgh Paper. - - THE ARMY.—The following general officers have been selected by his Grace the Commander-in-Chief for the pay of 255. per diem, consequent upon the late Brevet : Major-Generals—P.

Order has not been troubled anywhere. The Minister of the Interior, DE MORN Y. On reading the above proclamation the people re mark, " It's easy to say. The Pattie states that the representatives confined in the cellular prison of Mozas and at Mount Va lerien have been set at liberty. Official notice is given that the salary of repre sentatives will be paid at the cash offices of the Trea sury on the 7th and succeeding days. One of the absurd and odious rumours that the enemies of the public peace are propagating (says the Constitutionnel) is, that the Government has laid its hand on the money at the Bank, and has already withdrawn 25 millions. This abominable calumny rests upon one of the most regular proceedings pos sible. What is true is, that the Government, in virtue of its treaty with the Bank, had still at its disposal '25 millions of the loan contracted with it; and anterior to the recent events, it had given notice to the Bank of its intention to call for that amount. The same journal has the following : " Among the false rumours that were current yester day, the revolt of some regiments, and their march upon Paris under General Neumayer, the arrival of Ledru Rollin in Paris, the death o f General Bedeau, and an im peachment of Louis Napoleon by the High Court of Justice. M. Ledru Rollin, says the Constitutionnel, is not arrived, and strict orders are given to prevent his landing. General Bedeau is at Ham in perfect health, and General Neumayer is at Nantes in retirement. The High Court of Justice has not given any decree of any kind against the President of the Republic. The same journal, alluding to some absurd reports about the ex- Representatives who were arrested at the Mairio of the 10th arrondissement, states that they have been all set at liberty. Many of them insisted on remaining in prison, but they were put into hackney•coaches, three by three, and taken by officers do paix to their respective homes." The Prefect of the Rhone at Lyons has addressed the following dispatch to the Minister of the In terior : " Lyons, 3d December, 7 o'clock in the evening. " Monsieur le Ministre—l have the honour to send you a copy of the proclamation which I addressed to the inhabitants of the Rhone, on receipt of the tele graphic dispatch which I received to-day at one o'clock.
