Last night no further disorder-within the sphere of
my observation exud'ed after the closing of my
despatah. It was a beautiful moonlight night.
At half-past one the regiment of Lancers
passed along the Boulevards, retiring westward to
their quested to the flourish of trumpets. The sr-
ti ery rolled in the same direction. To a late hour
pad midnight the Patris MIS cried along the streets.
It detains no news that,' did not send you before
the post closed, excepting the alleged release of
the representatives from confinement, which remains
to be confirmed.
Atthir moment (half-past.lo) the Boulevards, as
far eel can see both ways, are occupied by strong
pickets of es:indica, posted at short Interval. A
general has just gallopped eastward with his staff
and an escort of cuirassiers.
The most important news I hare to send this
morning consists in the decree concerning secret
ballot, and the four proclamations.
The following four important proclamations have
been posted up this morning:

perceive that half mere and fine words hstionst

Mr. Gatn.inroxs on the other; and that the. fen.
Debility is the strife of Jane, 1851, will be remereli
with greater vigour in June, 1852.
Lord lows Rustint.t. has said,—and we agree with
him,—that the National Society isfounded on much ton
narrow a basis ever to be worthy of its name. But there
it is; doing, no doubt, much good; wielding great as
Scenes; possessed of great power; presided over by
all the bishops; enjoying royal patronage, privileges,
and pecuniary advantages; speaking in the name and
on behalf of the church ; and with a greater capacity
fur usefulness,--under more comprehensive and liberal
management,—than any other educational association
yet existing. It is not, therefore, a society which
those who dissent from some of the terms of its
foundation ; or those who, approving of those terms,
disapprove of its internal management, ought to
abandon to the care and dominion of those who now
limit its career, or misdirect in several particulars
its energies. So long as it uses the nationality of
England to promote its success; so long as it is
favoured triennially with a Queen's Letter to
support its funds ; so long as it assumes the
conduct of the educational relations between church
and state, it is an association which it is a duty, and
not an impertinence, to watch over and to criticise.
If any evidence, beyond its own acts, were wanting
to show that the spirit of the committee has not been
at all modified since June last, it may be found in
the Bishop of OXFORD'S latest charge. In respect to
this controversy his lordship's advice was never to
abandon the offensive ; and always to take u mask
of the State's money as could be had. Nor can any
reasonable expectation be entertained of any change
of policy which is not brought about by a change
of men in the committee. To the necessity of such
a change, the memorial first directs its attention.
At present the committee is really, though not
nominally, self-elected. The memonalists require
that, previously to each anniversary meeting, lists
of candidates should be sent to the subscribers, and
that voting by proxy should be allowed. If the
moiety is ever again to prosper, a large infusion d
new blood into the committee is indispensable: for
though its existing members may have the confi-
dence of the bishops,—to the subscribers they are,
as • body, quite unknown. The subscribers know
little more than that every bishop is on the com-
mittee ; but who the real working men are, few,
besides the secretary, can tell.
The change desired in the composition of the
essamittee is not without a distinct and definite
eject. One business of the society is to supply
Issined teachers to church schools. The most im-
portant improvement to be first demanded is
on
entire change in the mode of preparing
these gentlemen for their duties. At present the
govelnal clergy are deluged by semi-popish teachers
hugs the society's training institutions. Oxford over-
, me the country with half-Romanist curates, and
the National Society issues forth teachers to match.
The bishop: (three only excepted) lately joined in an
address to the clergy, intreating them not to alarm
their congregations by ritual changes and novelties.
The metropolitan bishop, in his last charge, called
those " luxuries of devotion " mummeries and the

PROCLAMATION.
(Without Date or Signature.)
MINISTRY OF JUSTICR.
False news are being spread in Paris about the state of
the provinces. Doubtless false news are also weal in the
provinces about the state of Paris. The insurrection 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.

PROCLAMATION.
(Without date.)
In order to encourage the insurrection the most alarming
news are spread about. The government guarantees that
they are all false, and that the acts of the President have
everywhere met with warm approbation.
The Minister of the Interior,
A. Die MORNT.

MON.

The Minister at War decrees:
Article 1. Every individual, whatever may be his qua-
lity, who shall be found in any meeting, club, or
association, tending to organise any resistance what.
socrer to the government, or to pertly?e its action,
will be considered as an accomplice of the insurrection.—
Art. 2. In consequence he will be immediately arrested and
delivered over to the courts-martial which are constantly
sitting. Ds Sr. ARNAUD.
Paris, Dec. 4.

PAOCLANATION.
The Minister at War Decrees,—Every individual spread-
ing false reports shall be immediately arrested and given
up to the courts-martial u an accomplice of the insur-
rection. De Sr. ARNAUD.
Dec. 4.

PROCLANETION.
Inhabitants of Paris,—The whole of France associates
itself with unanimous approbation to the great events jut
accomplished. The acts of the government, known these
two days at Lyons, Lille, Amiens, Reims, Nantes, Poitiers,
in all the centres of commerce and industry, have been re-
ceived in the bat manner. Order has not been troubled
anywhere. The Minister of the Interior,
DE MORNY.
On reading the above_proclamation the people re-
mark, " It's easy to say."
The Putrie states that the representatives con-
fined in the cellular prison of Mozas and at Mount-
Valerien have been set at liberty. This news, if
true, is highly important.
Official notice is given that the salary of repre-
sentatives will be paid at the cash offices of the
Treasury on the ith and succeeding days.
The evening edition of the Cumditutionnel mentions
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
Loden Rollin in Paris, the death of General Bedcau,
and an impeachment of Louis Napoleon by the High
Court of Justice. M. Ledru ltollin, says the Cum-
stitutionnel, is not arrived, and strict orders are
given to prevent his landing. General Bedean
is at Ham in perfect health, and General Neu-
mayer 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
mairie of the 10th arrondissement, states that they
have all 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 Al-
ders de pail to their respective homes.
The Moniteur Par.sien of yesterday evening
says : " News of the most unfounded cha-
racter has been circulated 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 man-
ner. The despatches received by the government
unanimously agree in saying that the acts of the
President have been received with tee most lively
sympathy."
On the invitation which he had received from the
Mayor of Montmartre, and in order to tranquillise
the inhabitants of this commune, Commandant Karll
occupied the posts at the barriers by the national
guard, who promptly responded to his orders. All
the commune is peaceable.
Baudin is to be buried to-day, and a strong corps
of soldiers is to be present to prevent any demonstra-
tion.
11 o'CLocit.—By the last accounts the number of
killed yesterday is 300.
The following despatch from the Prefect of the
Rhone to the Minister of the Interior is placarded
this morning
Lye's', Dee. 3, 7 p.m.
Monsieur le Ministre,—l hays the Maar, to send you
a copy of the proclamation which I have issued to the in-
habitants of the RllOl2O, in conemeeme of the telegraphic
despatch which I received at as. is the monies ca the 3rd
of December. Them two documents whisk I immediately
caused to be posted throughout the department, have rem-
sioned me to receive from my private correspondents the
assurance that the Mt of the President has bees received
with sympathy. The eity of Lynam is sales, sad all mea-
sures to prevent the slighted troubles have bean taken. In
say event, the Commandant Castellano sad spat are pre•
pared for whatever may happen. I shall hays the honour
to keep you informed of 'Raw passes in nititpe,artment.—
am, with respect, rte., the Prefect of the
DI VINCENT.

Primate in him own diocese is now suppressing them
by force of law. All the bishops are entitled and
profess to take a share in the management of the
National Society. Yet they allow, in the chapel of
its training college, St. Mark's, Chelsea, 4' mumme-
ries " elsewhere denounced, to be as assiduously per-
formed as they used to be, in Mr. BENNETT's time,
in St. Barnabas itself. Let the whole aspect and
fittings of the chapel - the manner of conducting the
service,—intoning, chanting, bowing, posturing, sur-
plito-preaching—there to be seen, he compared with
the late episcopal recommendation, and they win
find them set at nought in St. Mark's.
This is a grave matter. The parochial clergy
want teachers accustomed in mind and feeling, as
well as in practice, to the mode of worship usually
adopted in well-ordered parish churches ; whereas
they are now compelled to receive from the National
Society teachers expert—and proud of their expert-
ness—in all the frippery, millinery and absurdities
of a ritual, odious to their people: bringing with it,
moreover, principles and pretensions still more un-
popular. The present movement seeks—in changing
the toristituenta of the committee—the still greater

olvafe of rooting out the objectionable manner of
teachers.
ns conduct of epieoopaoy in thii matter is simply
pitiable. With one hand the bishops signed a mant-
ling to the clergy entreating them to abandon
Romish practices; with the other they sanction the
continuance of Romish practices in St. Mark's College.
What they condemn in the clergy they promote by
the teachers they thence send out ;—u if they felt
that the shortest way to corrupt the world is to
sorrutit its officers; and the surest road to Romanbm
is to get it pared by Romanist schoolmasters.
So long as the bishops giro their sanction to St.
Mark's College, so long their recommendations to
their clergy are, and must be, mere erratum jutmes.

Tut West End of London is at present ringing
with thu scandals of the younger officers of one of
the regiments of the Guards. This one has " bolted'
over head and ears in debt; that one has followed
him to see if affairs are quite as bad as rumour
alleges ; Lord This is in for 10,0001., and off to Con-
stantinople; the Honourable Mr. That's name being
to 7,0001. worth of bills, he is not to be found; a fifth
is actually in gaol, and another off to America. In
short, there is a sort of civil war raging between the
Guards and the Jews, and about, it is reported,
nothing Less than 70,0001. of bills of exchange.
Here /11 fresh food for the scandal raised by the
MSC of the ALLETNSB and theD'Ancvs ; and here a

reason why that modal should not be allowed to
die away Were some steps are taken by the
military authorities to strike at the root of
the evil system which bears such fruit. Are not
these young men, who claim to be of the best
blood of England, the victims of the Horse Guards,
—its follies and absurdities. It first puts them into a
false position, then treats them as special and fa-
voured persons; holds them forth to the world as
men of unbounded wealth; affords them all the op-
portunities of a great metropolis, with nothing to do
I in it but compass their own destruction ; and mass
batch is ruined by racing, dicing, gambling, mak
and—what the late Mr. CROCKYORD told a rim
mcutary committee did it all—" opera boxes mak
women," the Hone Guards repeat the operatics—
it the Household Troops were a model sehad
virtue and propriety. And these metropolitan polo 1
meats, the tone of their morality, the ordinary al. I
meter at their pursuits. and the prnrtioes they resort
to, in their turn become a sort of standard to officers
of similar ages in every other regiment in the
'empire.
* Here lies Laziness the Mother of all the Vices r
was the inscription a French wit proposed for the
• tomb of the mother of the Regent ORLEANS; and at
j the root of all these scandals in the army is the want
'of occupation. Young men, having nothing to do,
cannot be kept out of mischief when congregated
together; and there they are, lounging about
garrison towns and depots nearly all the day ;
thankful for anything to occupy their atten-
tion, be it a pretty face in a bonnet shop, or
two straws running • down a gutter. The conse-
quence is inevitable. They bet, they race, they play ;
at first a little; gradually that little increases ; until,
us in the case of Mr. KENNEDY, one mere boy will
bet half his fortune on a single event, and another
will defraud him out of it. All young men in the
army are not such fools or such kuavu; as the
two we have named. Some have rational men-
patios', others turn out excellent officers, but that
extreme cam discloses the logical tendency of the
present military system of England.
