Minna Into LONDON, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 5, 1851. A revolution at Paris, without some opposition and some little bloodshed, would be almost an impos sibility. It will not, therefore, create any surprise in the minds of the English public to learn that the recent events in the French capital have led to some degree of excitement. What, in the name of com mon sense, the antagonists of the Government are fighting for it would be difficult to conjecture—unless it be to inaugurate Communism by wholesale rapine and massacre, or to grind down the liberty of the country under the heel of a new Restoration. The honest Republicans hare nothing whatever to obtain by overthrowing the power of Louis NAPOLEON — but rather everything to lose. They have Universal Suffrage. What more can be required for the con servation of the liberties of the multitude ? Happily for thirty millions of free citizens, there:is now at the head of affairs a BONAYARTE, who will not yield to the clamours of a faction, however desperate, but who will employ, with the utmost imaginable rigour, the vast military powers now at his disposal. As will be seen, from the latest intelligence, given elsewhere in our impression of this evening, the insane attempt at a movement on the part of the Reds in Paris has been utterly crushed by the energetic measures adopted by the PRESIDENT. The few miserable barricades erected appear, from those accounts, to have been stormed by the soldiers, and taken in every in stance, some of them having to be de stroyed by artillery. From the departments, more ever, notwithstanding the sinister rumours previously in circulation, the most satisfactory intelligence seems to have been forwarded to the authorities through the medium of the telegraphs. The disaffection of some has been more, immeasurably more, than com pensated by the adhesion of the vast majority. Already it has been reported that the soldiers, with scarcely an exception, have decided in favour of the PRESIDENT. We await with con siderable anxiety the confirmation of the news thus satisfactorily conveyed to us after the dis astrous accounts by which they bad been preceded. Under any circumstances we cannot doubt that the friends of France, of Order, and of Freedom will wish well to that gallant Chieftain who has drawn his sword in defence of the national sove reignty against anarchists and conspirators—mani festing the sincerity of his patriotic ambition by the re-establishment of the Ballot as well as of Universal Suffrage. A fortnight ago we exposed the shameful manner in which Captain PENNY was treated on the occasion of his late expedition in search of Sir JOHN FRANKLIN. A blue book has just been published in which are comprised the various documents connected with these transactions. They contain the revelation of facts already commented upon by ourselves. They show, as we have before shown, that Captain PENNY was impeded in his exertions by those who depre ciated his abilities, apparently for the sole reason that his name is not followed by certain magical initials. Had this very intelligent officer been able to append R.N. to his signature, he would not, we are satisfied, have been compelled to return to this country without having penetrated much further north wards, according to his original intention. This we maintain is most unfortunate, whether considered as a circumstance injurious to the cause of science or as detrimental to the interests of humanity. It is pos sible to revert to the occurrences here alluded to at the present instance without finding our regrets, as formerly, altogether unalloyed. Lieut. Pim has enabled us to regard the facts stated in these Parliamentary re ports with some degree of equanimity from the re flection that exertions are at the present moment be ing made to carry assistance to the missing expedi tion. Aware that while we are talking over the blunders committed in past efforts of relief, we are not frittering away time wholly inestima ble to the gallant men still presumed to be shut up by the eternal ice of the Arctic Regions, we can with more calmness turn to the records of pro ceedings such as must otherwise have been fraught alone with the most melancholy considerations. Glancing through the pages of the official publica tion before mentioned, it is impossible not to be im pressed with the accuracy of the views long since put forward by us in these columns—views of which the blue book in question contains only the threadbare repetition. Upon the very first page of the " Mi nutes of Evidence" taken before the Com mittee will be found, for example, the important assertion from the lips of Captain PENNY himself, that the last expedition in search of Sir Jowl FRANKLIN came to a premature termination, notwithstanding his judgment pronounced against any such precipitate course with all the distinct ness and resolution imaginable. He states among other things, for instance, that the ice was broken up in Wellington Strait as far on the 25th of July, 1851, as it was on the Bth of the preceding Septem ber. " At the time we left that country," says he, "it was too early to decide whether the channel would clear away or not. We could have stopped there one month longer, and had strong north-cast winds come it would have cleared away the ice through Queen Victoria's Channel." A month longer—m irk that—and the passage opening then before them ! Is it not lamentable, with a statement like that here inscribed on the pages of the blue book under con sideration, that no effort was made to test the practi cability of such an experiment ? Might not that single month have effected more than all the rest of the time consumed in these operations ? Might not the venture here pointed out as by no means impos sible, have led at last to the discovery of the whereabouts of Sir Jousi FRANKLIN ? Again we ask, is it not lamentable that from four or five weeks as precious as those indicated should have been neglected simply—it would appear—be cause Captain PENNY was so unfortunate as not to be a commander in the Royal Navy ? It is, unhap pily, very far, indeed, from being the first time that this professional jealousy has been manifested. The public have, however, in some measure been accus tomed to incidents of a similar character—but we doubt very much if they have ever been made aware of one so signally disgraceful of its kind, because so shamefully interfering with the rights of humanity, by shutting a door of relief against men entitled to every generous consideration. What renders yet more melancholy the fact of this hasty abandonment of the search in opposition to the wishes and suggestions of Captain PENNY, is the re flection that the channel already spoken of (Queen Victoria's Channel) is only open (according to the decisive assertion of that officer) to navigation about once every two years. That it was closed in 1850 is notorious. Th a t it m i g ht, on th e con tr a ry, h ave b een readilycertaint' passed this year is known with scarcely l es s though us by ghthe actual proof of the fact was denied t a d p ed remature return of the exploring vessels, i the uponConsequentlyortu unpleasantni the oft convicti on is force Captain At p n obedience to the de man t our minds that, by neglecting the op out by Capt ain PENNY, we have lost the y chance pointed f sending our ships again in that particular direction until 1853 has arrived. The loss of time is therefore " this, the vderreyadfaublietoanrdefleinctteullpigon—ent a n nd av a ig ll in atorcque e o f happeningn byilal l s u er c v k ic n e. o ” t to It mbeayimbemed objected,iately h c o o li n , n e e v c e t r e , d tb w at ith in only one quarter is closed for a while against the conveyance of relief. But what say the Minutes of Evidence before us upon this point ? Why, in answers to the 14th question of the Chairman of the Committee, " Do you think Sir JOHN FRANKLIN went through this channel ?" Captain Plat replies, " I have no doubt on my mind that he went through it in clear water ; my conviction has always been so ; nobody has heard me say anything else." From this evidence we %lag loam that, as it Tao, _the larthvet 1 point reached up the channel on this last so-called Expedition of Relief was to Cape Becher in Queen Victoria's Channel, being 76° 25 N. latitude. In con tinuation of his narrative, Captain PENNY avows his firm belief that at the time when he turned back in compliance with the wishes of others, and in opposition to the dictates of his own judgment, he was probably but sixty or seventy miles from the main points of Sir Joax FRANKLIN ! "Do you think," asks the Chairman of the Committee (Q. 39), " the water was all clear and open ?" " I have no doubt of it, from the way the winds prevailed," is the reply. " What sort of weather was it when you turned back ?" is the next inquiry. "It was a Icear day when we turned," is the reply, " but it came on very moist weather afterwards." Again Captain :PENNY is asked, and this time by Admiral FANSHAWE (Q. 42), "I think you ex pressed your opinion that Sir JOHN FRANKLIN passed that way ?" " Yes," says the witness, " that was my conviction, and has ever been !" But then Captain PENNY was not Captain PENNY, R.N. And so the expedition was turned back, and the opportu nity (for all practical purposes) lost for ever in that direction. Such are among the lamentable conse quences of a jealousy most unbecoming, and we can not but add most disgraceful in so gallant and illus trious a profession. Two important meetings have just been held at Manchester. The long expected and anxiously looked for Reform conference was held at the Spread Eagle on Wednesday morning, which was 'attended by delegates from the manufacturing districts, and many leading Reformers, including several'well known and influential Members of Parliament. At that meeting the resolutions, which had been prepared For the occasion, in accordance with the opinions put for ward at the preliminary meetings were freely canvassed and discussed, and being carried by a large majority, were subsequently submitted to an aggregate meeting at the Free-trade Hall, at which many thousands of earnest and zealous men were in attendance to pro claim their allegiance to the great cause of Reform, and to show their firm determination that the forthcoming charter of 1852 should be worthy of acceptance by the British nation; or that, if inadequate to the exigencies of the case, it should be rejected with disdain, or, at least, only received as a small instalment of justice. In the morning there were some slight differences of opinion, some thinking that the resolutions went too far, others that they did not go quite far enough—some that they were drawn up with two much particularity, not allowing sufficient freedom of action to the Legislature, others that they were too vague and uncertain, without that close attention to details which was essential in a matter of such vital importance to the national welfare. All, however, were actuated by the same spirit, all were devoted to the popular cause, and prepared to sacrifice their individual views in order to obtain perfect unanimity. We confess that we should ourselves, with Sir JOSHUA WALMSLEY, have desired that it should have been clearly stated whether or not the elec tive franchise was dependent on the preliminary pay ment of rates. Loud and well-founded complaints have been repeatedly put forward against the disfranchise ment of parties who had been struck off the registry in consequence of some trifling arrear, that had pro bably been forgotten, and which, in the great ma jority of instances, was speedily enforced. In many cases the tax-collectors neglected making any demand on persons entertaining political views adverse to their own: until after the appointed time ; and in others an opportunity has been afforded to parties desirous of obtaining such an influence as Mr. EDWARDS appears to have exercised at St. Albans, to adopt a refined system of bribery and corruption. There are men who would not directly accept a sum of money to vote for a particular candidate, who would tacitly permit their rates to be paid for them, and thus, to a certain ex tent at least, surrender their freedom of choice in the selection of representatives. It is almost unnecessary to say, that every one of the great questions—" the Extension of the Suffrage,' " the Equalization of Electoral Districts," " the Bal lot," " the Duration of Parliament," and " the Pro perty Qualification for Members,"—were alluded to. Were it otherwise, it would have bitterly disappointed the reasonable expectations of the people, who look for just and proper decisions on each of these interesting points. The chief discussion arose on the first topic. There was scarcely a difference on any of the others. The extension of the franchise, however, elicited a variety of views on this deeply interesting subject. Some were the advocates of universal suffrage—of permitting every man of sound mind and full age the possession of a vote. The Hon. Gentleman the Member for the Tower Ham lets led the Liberal side, and proposed as an amend ment the precise words of Mr. Ilumm's motion in Parliament. Others there were, who although ad vancing in the path of reform, would still proceed with slow and cautious steps—increasing the fran chise in some degree, but still leaving much to be de manded by the people, and being by no means a set tlement of the vexatio questio. The resolutions adopted may be regarded as coming between the extremes on either side, and offering a very fair instalment of justice. On the first point, the Conference recommended that the elective franchise be based upon occupation and liability to the poor-rate, with such limitation as to period of residence as shall be necessary to afford a guarantee that the occupation is bona fide. In addition it urged the extension of the 40s. franchise to the owners of property in the United Kingdom of that annual value, whether derived from freehold, copy hold, or leasboid tenure, with a view to open a way to the right of voting to many, who, from vari ous causes, would not be in the direct occupation of premises rated to the relief of the poor, but whose claim to the franchise, from industry, character, and station is undoubted. The whole constituency of the United Kingdom would thus consist of occupiers rated to the relief of the poor, and of the owners of pro perty, freehold, copyhold, and leasehold, of the annual value of 40s. We then find on the equalization of the electoral districts the assertion—" that no extension of the franchise will make the House of Commons a fair re presentation of the nation without a very con siderable change in the distribution of the electoral power." It is, therefore, proposed—" That, where practicable and convenient, small and neighbour ing boroughs be united and form one borough. That, where such union is not practicable, small boroughs cease to return Members, and that their existing constituencies merge in the constituency of the county in which they are situate. That corres ponding to the extent to which small boroughs shall be united, or shall cease to return Members to Parlia ment, new borougbs be created from the populous towns now unrepresented, and that additional Members be conferred on the metropolitan and other first-class boroughs in the United Kingdom." As a general rule, it is suggested that no constitu ency should henceforward be composed of fewer than 5,000 electors. The proposition on the Ballot is no less satisfac tory—" That the adoption of the ballot is indispensable to an honest representation ; that it would make the convictions of the elector, rather than his personal interests and fears, the leading motive in the exercise of his franchise ; that it would repress the demo ralizing practices so humiliating to candidates and so degrading to electors which seem almost inseparable from a canvass ; and that it would aid most effec tually in preventing the turbulence and riot with which elections have hitherto been too often attended." In addition, triennial Parliaments are proposed, and there is the most unequivocal adoption of the abolition of the property qualification. We have no doubt that Reformers of all classes throughout the length and breadth of the land will cordially concur in these well-considered resolutions, and that they will be received as the basis of the New Reform Bill of 1852. LOUIS KOSS UTIL — Another engraved likness of this great man has within the last few days appeared. It is copied from an original painting by Mr. Skaife, and represents Kossuth as he appeared when closin g his speech in the Guildhall, Though out of all drawing, the sketch has a certain exaggerated energy; and, like everything relating to the same illustrious will be eagerly we l comed, we doubt not, by personage, the mtltitude. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. DREADFUL FIGHTING IN THE STREETS OF PARIS. We have received the Paris journals of yesterday and accounts from Paris up to last evening. The journals are principally filled with official documents and proclamations, but the accounts they give of events is meagre; private accounts, however, state that the fighting, which still continued when the last accounts were dispatched, was of a character more fearful than even that of June, 1848, and that no quarter was given ; it is also stated that some of the troops have joined the people, and that General MAGNAN, the Commander-in-Chief of the garrison in Paris, was inclined to declare against the PRESIDENT. Galignani's Messenger gives the following account of the events of Wednesday : " Informed that orders had been given to the demago gic sections to meet this morning at seven o'clock, in the Faubourg Saint Antoine, the Prefect of Police had pre scribed the most energetic and efficacious measures to defeat the designs of these exciters to disturbance, who, emboldened by former success, had not reckoned on the resolute action of the authorities. This meeting decided upon in the committees, held here and there during the night, did not take place. The freres et anus not re spond to the appeal of their chiefs. During the first hours of the morning the faubourgs were calm, and the shops were opened as usual. The wine-shops of the faubourg, however, were gradually filled, and among the persons who entered were remarked a considerable number of those sinister faces which are seen whenever the enemies of order meet in days of crisis. The Prefect of Police soon ascertained that deliberations were going on. Toward ten o'clock gooups were formed in several parts of the fau bourg, and in some of the adjacent streets. Several Montagnard ex - representatives, and some men armed with fowling pieces and poniard-knives, were seen. Soon afterwards were posted up appeals to arms in ma nuscript, some in red, others in black, signed by Michel (de B ,urges), Madier de Montjau, Emmanuel Arago, Schoelcher, Baudin, Deflotte, and other members of the Mountain. Almost at the same time, some persons, most of them armed, passed along the Boulevards St. Martin, St. Denis, Bonne Nouvelle, and Montmartre, endeavouring, by reading aloud a proclamation of the ex-representatives who assembled yesterday at the Maine of the 10th Arrondissement, to rally the crowd to their cause, and excite seditious cries. In an in stant, these groups, very compact and assuming an hostile attitude, were dispersed by some sergens de-ville. The placards posted up were taken down without the slightest resistance, and frequently amidst the acclamations of the persons present. At this moment (half-past eleven), three or four bands of men en blouse left the Faubourg St. Antoine and the Rue du Temple and spread themselves in different di rections. They had at their head several of the ex- Montagnard representatives. That band which was led on by the ex-representative Baudin began to raise a barricade at the corner of the Rue St. Marguerite. On a battalion of the line advancing, a shot was fired from the barricade. The troops returned the fire very vigor ously, and the chief of the barricade, the ex -representa tive Baudin, fell dead, having been struck in the head with a ball. On another point, the ex -representative M. Madier de Montjau was struck by a ball from the troops in defending a barricade erected on the Boulevard Beaumarchais. It is positively stated that the ex-representative Schoelcher has been wounded in an engagement with the sol diers. The rioters had an intention of attack ing the prison Mazas, but the measures taken for its defence prevented the execution of the plan. At noon, the whole of that part of the Boulevards from the Chateau d'Eau to the Bastille was cleared and occupied militarily by the regiments of cuirassiers, chasseurs, and the line. The brigade of General Maruilaz was stationed on the Place de la Bastille, with twelve pieces of cannon. The houses at the corner of the streets from whence the insurgents were able in the days of June, 1848, to kill seven generals, and th e venera b le Archbishop of Paris, were occupied militarily from the cellar to the garret. Three mortars were directed to wards the Faubourg Saint Antoine, and ready to fire. In presence of the moat vigorous orders, executed with promptness, and the excellent conduct of the troops, the rioters retired to the bottom of the faubourg, from whence they were driven in a few minutes by the brigade of General Courtigis, which followed them up close. Several arrests were made. The court-martials sitting en permanence will decide on the fate of these persons, most of whom were taken in arms. Several groups of students went through the Quartier Latin, calling to arms. Some vain attempts at raising barricades were made, but a single company of the Chasseurs de Vincinnes was sufficient to restore the quarter to its usual calm. The ex-Montagnard repre sentative Delbetz was arrested in the afternoon, at the corner of the Rue Richelieu. He was in a cabrioh t, and wore his badge as a representative. He was utter ing seditious cries in the midst of an extremely agitated crowd. The attempts at disorder which a few de magogical leaders endeavoured to got up may be now, it is to be hoped, considered at an end. The authority is on the alert, and proper measures hove been taken to put down any commencement at disturb ance. A student was arrested on the Place de l'Ecole do Milicine, for having struck a sergeant-de-ville with a cane. Ho was taken to the Coneiergerie. The bar ricade raised in the Rue du Faubourg St. Antoine, at which the ex -representative Baudin was killed, was carried by Captain Henry, at the head of the Ist Com pany of the first battalion of the 19th Light Infantry, commanded by Chef de Bataillon Pujol. The Faubourg Saint Marceau is perfectly tranquil. Towards the middle of the day some men of disorder, driven from the Faubourg St. Antoine, attempted to get up a demon stration on the Place de l'Ecole de Melicine. General Sauboul dispersed the persons making this attempt by sending out a strong patrol. By measure of precaution the Pantheon will be occupied to-night by the military. The Faubourg St. Antoine, which was exceedingly agitated in the morning, was quite calm in the evening. It appears that some workmen, determined to maintain order in the interest of the labouring classes, whom any disturbance in the street would most probably deprive at once of employment, dispersed themselves in the morn ing through the faubourgs, and argued with their com rades that Louis Napoleon only wanted to re-establish universal suffrage by conferring political equality. If our information is correct, their patriotism put a atop to a Socialist movement which was to have burst out. e Th e Fatrie of yesterday states that before the troops fired on the barricade in the Rue St. Marguerite a soldier was killed by the insurgents, and that by the fire of the troops M. Madier de Montjau as well as M. Baudin was killed. M. Esquires is said to have saved himself by flight. We read in the P etr i e of yesterday evening:— ' About five o'clock this e ven i ng b arr i ca d es were raised in the Rue Rambuteau. Gene ra l M agna n o r de re d some troops to that point with ord ers f or th em t o b e im mediately carried and destroyed. Th a t was accom plished with difficulty by the 9th Foot Chasseurs and- a battalion of the Gendarmerie Mobile, the rioters taking to flight on the approach of the troops. About half-past four a band of about two hundred persons formed a bar ricade in the Rue des Vieilles Audriettes by upsetting some carts. M. de St. Georges, director of the Nattonal Printing-office, had a detachment of the gendarmery directed to the spot. The rioters fired, and the fire was re turned by the troops, when the barricade was deserted by its defenders. Another attempt at a riot was commenced in the Clear() St. Mary, but it was immediately quelled. General Leydet, ex - representative of the Mountain, has been arrested. The circulation was only interrupted for a few hours in the neighbourhood of the faubourg, whore the remnants of the demagogues had sought re fuge, hoping to be able to make it the scene of sangui nary scenes similar to the days of June, but all their projects failed. The population of the capital, strong in the intelligent and energetic action of the magistrates, whose mission it is more particularly to watch over its security, may attend to their business without alarm or anxiety. .6 Two aides-de-camp of the Minister of War went yesterday morning in coloured clothes to the Faubourg St. Antoine to judge for themselves of the feelings of the population, In passing the corner of one of the streets, they saw a man appear for a moment and then disappear as rapidly. Immediately after a whistle was beard, and a band of fifteen men came forward. The aides-de-camp seeing this thought it prudent to retire, convinced that the secret societies were assembled and ready to act. " Captain Armand, belonging to the staff, was yes terday proceeding through the Faubourg Saint Antoine at the head of some men, when a body of rioters throw themselves before him with menacing cries. One man more daring than the rest attempted to seize the bridle of Captain Armand's horse, the officer seized him by the collar, and, in spite of the cries around him, hauled him off to the barracks of the Celestine, where ho was de tained in custody. The brigades of Vincennes after wards passed through the Faubourg Saint Antoine with out meeting with any obstacle. "M. Brun, commissary of police at the Assembly, was arrested on Tuesday at the same time as the two questors. He had been appointed, it may be remem bered, to replace M. Yen ' and had previously been at the head of th e sect i on o f police belonging to General Changarnier. M. Brun has since been set at liberty." The following is the new Ministry, as announced by the decree of the PRESIDENT :—MM. de Morny, Interior ; Fould, Finances ; Rouher, Justice ; Magne, Public Works; Saint Arnaud, War; Th. Ducos, Marine ; Turgot, Foreign Affairs ; Lefebvre-Durufle, Commerce and Agriculture ; Fourtoul, Public In struction. The Consultative Commission (the decree for the formation of which we noticed yesterday) is to be presided over by M. BAROCLIE, as Vice-President, in the absence of the PRESIDENT of the Republic. We read in the 'Pairie:—" It has been stated that Generals LANDRICIREE and BEDEAU and M. CLIARRAS had been wounded on Tuesday, and some r went so far as to say that they had since died. These are completely unfounded, as all these ex-re presentatives are in perfect health.

MOLE to the Journal des Debats (which appeared in yesterday's Messenger), s ays—" If M. MOLE iS desirous of joining his colleagues at Mazes or at the fort of Mont Val6rien, he is perfectly at liberty do so. The country attaches very little importance to his personal apprechitioni." LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, DECEMBER s, 1861. The Patrie states that the votes of the army in garrison i❑ Paris have been, so far as is known, all given to LOUIS NAPOLEON, with one single excep tion, that of a soldier of the 72d Regiment, who de clared that he did not understand the subject suffi ciently to authorise him to give an opinion. The following has been published as the official account of the arrest of Generals CAYAIGNAC, BE DEAU, LAMORICIERE, Colonel CIIARRAS, M. TRIERS, and their companions : The number of persons arrested on the night of the Ist of December was 31, of whom 28 were represen tatives. These arrests were executed by the agents usually charged with such duties. None of the per sons arrested made the least resistance. All the ma licious reports on this subject are absolutely without the least foundation. These 31 persons had been con fined temporarily in the cellular prison of Mazos. At five o'clock they were transferred to the Northern Railway, and conveyed in a special train to the castle of Ham, where they would arrive before midnight. A battalion of troops superintended the execution of these orders. Lodgings had been prepared for them at Ham. The prisoners have been treated with all the attentions compatible with the state of political affairs. The Constitutionnel publishes an article signed by M. GRANIER DE CASSAGNAC, in:which we find the follow ing passage relating evidently to M. BERRYEE : " Did not the most accredited chief of the Legitimists send, last Monday, this verbal message to the President of the Republic:—' Execute a coup d'etat, transport the Socialist minority, and five minutes after we are with you?' If this message is denied, we will name the Legi timist chief who gave it, and the Representative who brought it. Thus the same men who begged the Presi dent on Monday to make a coup d'itat for their profit, drew up an act of impeachment on Tuesday against the President for a coup d'etat for the advantage of order and society." The Act of Impeachment alluded to by M. DE CASSAGNAC is as follows : DECREE OF THE NATIONAL ASSEMBLY. Eipublique Francaise, Assemblee Nationale, Dec. 2, 1851. Whereas Art. 6E3 of the Constitution enacts as follows: —The President and his Ministers are each responsible for the acts of the Government, and any measure by which the President of the Republio shall dissolve or prorogue the National Assembly, or place any obstacle to the exercise of its functions, is an act of high treason. By that ♦ery act the President forfeits his authority, and every citizen is bound to refuse obedience to his orders. The Assembly, therefore, since it is hindered by vio lence from accomplishing its mission, decrees— Louis Napoleon Bonaparte is deprived of his functions as President of the Republic, and the citizens are called on to refuse him obedience. The Executive power passes in its plenitude to the Assembly. The judges of the High Court of Justice are called on to meet immediately upon pain: of dismissal, to proceed to judgment against the President and his ac complices. IC is enjoined upon all functionaries that they obey the requisition in the name of the Assembly, under penalty of forfeiture and the punishment prescribed for high treason. Made in public sitting this 2nd of December, 1851. (Signed) BENOIST D'AZY, President. VITET, Vice-President. CHAPOT and MOULIN, Secretaries. PROTEST OF THE ASSEMBLY. Whereas Article 68 of the Constitution provided, &c., (See it quoted in the above resolution). Considering that Louis Napoleon Bonaparte has vio lated his oaths and the Constitution, and employed the public force to consummate this crime: The undersigned members of the Assembly, after taking official cognizance of the violence offered by the President to its meeting, and the arrest of its Bureau and several of its members, declare:— That the 68th, Article of the Constitution points out to every citizen the duty ho has to fulfil. The President is thus declared deprived of his au thority; the High Court of Justice is summoned; every citizen is forbidden to obey the deposed power under pain of punishment. The General-Councils are convoked, and are to meet immediately; they will name a commission from the members of their own body, who will assume the admi nistration of their several departments, and correspond with the Assembly in whatever place it shall choose to meet. " Every receiver of the public funds, who shall render up possession of the same to any person or persons other than those authorised in the regular and lawful manner, shall be held responsible both in property and person.

The Deputies arrested with M. BERRYER were offered their freedom if they would promise to submit to LOUIS NAPOLEON. They refused, but were, ne vertheless, set at liberty on Wednesday evening. They were conveyed in omnibuses from the fortress of Mont-Valerian, and turned loose in the Luxem bourg-gardens. The following order of the day has been addressed to the National Guards of the Seine : " Soldiers of the National Guard—The confidence of the Prince President of the Repnblic has just placed me at your head. In this circumstance the chief of the state has infinitely more consulted my devotedness and patriotism than the merit of my old., services. He has been pleased to honour in me a reminiscence which will be always dear to you, that of the illustrious Marshal Gerard, who for thirty-six years condescends to name me his friend. If I have accepted an honour which I am far from having aimed at, it is because I can present with confidence to your consideration the past acts of my whole life. I have always had an invincible horror of that revolutionary patriotism which sets one's private interest in the place of those of the country. I have never consented to serve my country except under one standard—that which has guided us trium phant in the universe—l have only one thought in coming amongst you, and that is, to draw closer and closer the ties which unite you to that noble army of which you are so proud, because it recruits its men from amongst your brothers and children, and be cause it is always ready to shed its generous blood in defence of its country. I am certain, soldiers of the Na tional Guard, that the sentiments which animate me are also yours; yes, if ever the demagogical crowd should dare to raise its head—if the ambitious men, so impotent and so selfish, who are in movement should attempt to realise their fatal designs, you will come with me to range yourselves by the side of my invincible batta lions; and you will not come except as I order you. I will not hesitate to punish with an inflexible rigour any persons who should dare to have the rappel beaten without my sanction; you will be, in fine, disciplined sol diers, for it is not through vanity and to figure at your head that I have accepted the honour of commanding you. Soldiers of the National Guard, I count on your patriotism as you may reckon on my devotedness and cordial sympathies. " LAWOSTINE, General in Chief. " VIEYRA, Colonel of the Staff." The Patrie states that a number of Generals have offered their services to the PRESIDENT. Among them the following :—Marshals Exceltnana and Jerome Napoleon ; Generals de Flahaut, d'Authou ard, Schramm, d'llautpoul, Baraguay d'Hilliers, de Bourjolly, de l'Etacy, Morris, Vast-Virneux, Daumas. Delarue, Ornano, Preval, Perchappe, Bongenal, Le bretoa, fiat Rebillot, Tournemine, de R6signy, St. Sunoril, &c. Of the 80 members nominated on the Constitution Council 39 only have accepted. The following telegraphic dispatch has been re ceived by the Government, dated Orleans 7 40 P.M. : " THE PREFECT OF THE LOIRET TO THE MINISTER OP day have raised the standard of insurrection. Every where our courageous and intrepid army has overthrown and vanquished them. The people have remained deaf to their excitations. There are necessary measures commanded by public safety. The state of siege is de creed. The moment has arrived to apply the rigorous consequences of it. Exercising the powers which it gives us — "We. the Prefect of Police, decree—Art. 1. Circu lation is interdicted to all public and private vehicles. An exception will only be admitted in favour of those which serve to the alimentation of Paris, and the con veyance of materials. Art. 2. Tho stationing of people in the streets, and the formation of groups, are abso lutely interdicted. They shall he, without summons, dispersed by arms. Let peaceable citizens stop at home. There will bo serious peril in violating the measures decreed." " 4th December." "DE MAUPAS. The following was placarded in the streets at two o'clock : " Inhabitants of Paris—The whole of France asso ciates itself by its approbation to the great events which have just taken place. The acts of the Government, which were known two days ago at Lyons, Lille, Amiens, Rheims, Nantes, Poitiers, and in all the centre of commerce and industry, have met with the best re ception. Order has been nowhere disturbed. "The Minister of the Interior, DE MORNY." It is evident from the above proclamation that not withstanding the representations of the Government, which it should be remembered has the monopoly of the telegraph, that there is a struggle going, on and that it has only commenced ; and private accounts re present that struggle as being of a very fearful cha racter, no quarter being given on either side, and of a very doubtful issue, for it is still going on, and, it is said, that in many instance the troops have shown a disposition to fraternize with the people, and that General MAGNAN is not at all disposed to support the Cause Of LOUIS NAPOLEON. The High Court, which had at the invitation of the Prefect of Police, separated on Tuesday, re-assembled on Wednesday at Rouen, and there formally declared the decheance of the PRESIDENT of the Republic, and condemned him for high treason. This decree was known in Paris yesterday morning, and a placard, signed by Viczon HUGO, SCUMLCIIER, and several other Representatives, was posted, declaring the sentence of the High Court, and calling on all per sons to refuse all obedience to the PRESIDENT. A placard, signed, by EMILE DE GIRARDIN and the whole of the Representatives of the Left, was also posted, declaring that the Assembly is not dissolved; on the contrary, that it is the only legal power, that the PRESIDENT has forfeited all authority, and that the Executive passes to the hands of the Assembly. It calls on the army at their peril to disobey the Assembly. The placard signed by VICTOR HUGO tells the people that the National Guards and line are marching on Paris to depose the usurper. The disposition of the National Guard is against Louis NAPOLEON, indeed, he seems to have been aware that such was the case, for on Monday night he gave special orders to M. VTEEA, on no account to suffer them to be called out. On Wednesday morning the commencement of the erection of barricades took place, and, as usual, these were of a slight construction, and were evacuated im mediately the troops charged them, it being the object of the insurgents to tire down the troops by fatigue before the fighting should commenced in earnest. It was in the attack on one of these barricades that the representatives MM. BAUDIN and MADIER DE MARTJAU were killed. Their bodies were carried in procession on Wednesday evening; the procession was attacked by the military and several men killed. Orders were issued that the military should hold no communication with any civilians. Yesterday morning several strong barracades were erected near the Portes Saint Martin and Saint Denis ; _these were attacked, and after severe fighting taken, but not until cannon were employed. The Boulevard, as far the Rue Montmartre, is a perfect wreck. The troops as they advanced were attacked on the Boulevard des Italiens, and a sharp fight ensued. At a quarter past six the Boulevards were in possession of the troops. A letter from Paris, dated six o'clock, states that the fighting was still going on, and that the state of Paris was worse than it was in the days of June. This letter, which was published in a third edition of the Morning Chronicle, is as follows : " THURSDAY, SIX P.M. " Matters hero are going from bad to worse. The state of Paris is the most terrible. The insurrection of June was not nearly so bad as the present, and the troops are not to be depended on. The fighting at the barricades is going on with the same vigour; but, as it is impossible to approach the district of the town which is disturbed, it is impossible to,know how the affair is going. " The most alarming rumours are current as to the state of the departments. It is generally reported (and I know that the information comes from good sources) that General Castellano and the array which he com mands have gone against the President, and taken part with the Assembly. At Lille, General Neumayer, with two regiments, is said to have refused to adhere to the acts of the Presi- dent. Strasbourg and Rheims are said to havo risen. The journals which have arrived from Angers contain violent articles against the Government, and call for resistance. " M. Carlier has been cent off to Lyons, as Commis nary-General. M.Berard, late representative of the people, has been sent to Amiens, where the Prefect, M. Leon Masson, has made common cause with the Municipal Council and the National Guard against the Government. " I mention these rumours as they reach me. Of course, some of them are exaggerated, but the very fact of their circulation shows how serious the crisis is. " At the moment when I write there are numerous and formidable barricades raised in the quarters St. Denis, St. Martin, and the neighbourhood of the Rue de Rambuteau. Even at the corner of the Rue de la Grange Bateleire there is a large barricade, and shots were fired on the troops from Tortoni's coffee-house. Several people have been killed in the Rae de Grammont. M. Sallandrouae's carpet manufactory has been riddled by cannon, and it is said that thirty people who were in it have been killed. It appears that some shots had been fired from the windows. The boulevards are swept every five minutes by large bodies of lancers. Orders have been given to the troops to give no quarter. Very few of the barricades have been taken. A considerable number of insurgents taken in the Rue Chapin, between two barricades, were shot on the spot. " Several members of the club of the Rue des Pyra mides met this morning, and resolved to support the Government against the insurgents. I do not know where they met, but their usual place of meeting is oc cupied by 50 soldiers, and the Government has given orders to prevent a meeting. "You are aware that the 152 representatives who wore imprisoned at Mont Valerien were set at liberty last night. The greater number of them were Legitimati fists. They all refused to pledge themselves to remain neuter, or to leave the prison if any were retained. Ul timately they were all set at liberty. A commissary of police conducted them in prison vans to the garden of the Luxembourg, where he told them to alight, and having politely taken off his hat, said they were at liberty. Since then several have been again arrested. "HALF-PAST SIX. " The Government denies all the sinister reports in circulation. The Minister of the Interior declares that the news from the departments, which has reached the Government, is in general satisfactory; and that even at Lyons, after a moment of astonishment and hesitation, the whole place accepted the acts of the Government. " The system the President has announced, of taking the opinion of the people, has given great offence, and has turned many peaceable people against him. " It is impossible that the affair can be settled to-night. " The telegraph is again stopped. " P.S.—At the present moment the firing has ceased. The insurgents have been driven back in several quarters, and a considerable number of the troops seem to be returning to their quarters. The affair is, however, not over, and will certainly be renewed in the morning." The Pays contain the following letter from its dif ferent editors to the manager : " In the presence of the events that are passing, we can have nothing more to do as journalists at present. We resign. —A. do la G uerronilre, F. Ducuing, A. Blaise (des Vosges), Ch. Rolland, E. L. lieritier, E. Gourdon, J. M. Lejean." It also contains a letter from M. DE LA. GUM. HOMBRE to the Minister of the Interior, stating that he has observed his (M. DE L.I. GUEB.RONIEIteB) brother's name in the list of new sub-prefects pub lished on the day of the dissolution of the National Assembly. lle takes upon himself to resign, in the name of his brother, an office which he feels sure he will not accept under existing circumstances. The editors of the Assembles Nationale have also resigned, in a letter which the manager of that journal dares not publish. M. A. Freslon has resigne d the p ost of Advocate- General at the Court of Cessation.

THE INTERIOR. " The demagogical party, excited by its agitators, has endeavoured to invade the Mairie; they were energeti cally repulsed by the National Guard and the troops united. About 45 of the ringleaders have been arrested, among whom are the representatives Martn, Michot, Tavernier, and Pereira. This repression has produced a good effect." The Minister of War has issued the following pro clamation to the inhabitants of Paris i— " Inhabitants of Paris,—The enemies: of order and of society have commenced a struggle. It is not against the Government, against the elect of the natio n th at they combat; but they wish for pillage and destr uc ti on. Lot all good citizens unite together in the name o f threatened society and family ties. Remain calm, in habitants of Paris! Let not curiousidlers remain in the streets; they embarrass the movements of the brave soldiers who protect you with their bayonets. For my part you will find me unshakeable in my will to defend you and to maintain order." The proclamation is followed by a decree. The Minister of War, seeing the state of siege, decrees— " Any person detected in constructing or defendin g a barricade, or with arms in their hands, will undergo the most vigorous laws of war. :(Signed) " DE SAINT ARNAUD." Another proclamation says that, th ose t a k en w i t h arms in their hands will be shot. The following decree has been issued by the Pre fect of Police against tumultuous assemblages : " We, the Prefect of Police, taking into consideration the decree of December 2, 1851, whi c h pl aces the first military division in a state of siege, order what follows: — "Art. 1. All assemblages of persons are rigorously interdicted, and will be immediately dispersed by the public force. " Art. 2.
