The following letters from our menspoodent detail
the coarse of events in Paris yesterday. By the last
it will be men that the disturbances had ham com-
pletely quelled.
PARIS, THITUDAT. 11 AIL
The night has paned off quietly, and it is hoped
that, from the energetic measures adopted by govern-
ment, no more deturbances will take place.
It appears that yesterday the ionnectionary party
had their head quarters at the Omeervatoire des Arta
et Metiers. There, after the dispersion of the pro-
motion with the petition, about twenty Montagnard
Deputies met and were joined by several of the
artillery legion. Troops were directed cm this poict.
A barricade had boss nude with some carriages en the
Ratak. Martin, bat this wasearried without 100 °flits ;
the doors of the Cemeervatebre were forced, and the 24th
of the line, with M. Pierre Bonaparte at their head,
entered the place. The representatives and others in
the building fled. Some of the representatives and
many of the artillerymen were arrested. Two of the
tame sad several of the latter might have been seen
at six eclair ettrronded by a battalion of Chasseurs
Es Vlsessisse making the best of their way baptism.
In the emerge of the aLernoon barricades had been
elealed in Mikan quarters of Paris, analog others in
the Mune the Rees Greta BS. LseavN Montero-
necy, Jean Robert, Cintetiere-SaimeNieelae, and Au-
make. All these were taken by the troops with little or
no resistance. In the vicinity of the belles also barri-
cades were formed. On the Boulevard Montmartre an
attempt was likewise made to construct a barricade by
upsetting an omnibus, bat the troops received the
vehicle. At the corner of the Rae St. Mare and the
Rae Richelieu a cart loaded with wood was upset for
a barricade, bet some National Chards went up at the
moment, and the feseutiers being more numerons,con-
tented themselves with disarming them. In the Rue
Joquelet an armourer's shop was pillaged. Many in-
dividuals who bad been engaged in the erection
of barricades were wounded and tak4n prisoners.
Between the Rae Grange Beteliere and the Res
de la Pain three shots were fired; one bye man
in a blows at a charmer, who returned the fire
and wounded the aggressor; a second by another
man at a National Guard, who also fired and
wounded him in the hand ; • third by a man in the
uniform of an officer of the National Guard, who was
arrested. A few shots, it is maid, were also fired upon
the 82d of the line in the Rae Amalie. In the streets
St. Denis and St. Martin, the words "Arms given
up" were chalked on the shutters of the closed shops,
to avoid unwelcome visitors. At about 5 o'clock, the
President of the Republic and Genre' Changernier,
followed by a numerous staff, rode along the Boule-
vard& lie was received with the loudest cheers
from the National Guards and the troops, cf " Vive la
Republique! Vive Napoleon!"
During the nay the Legislative Assembly was
strongly guarded, but in the evening the defences be-
came truly formidable, there being, in addition to a
large body of troops, cannon placed on the bridges
and the quays, whilst the Place de la Concorde was
occupied by an immense force. The generals who
are members of the Legislative Assembly appeared in
uniform, and went aleng the ranks of the troops
bivouscsed around the Palace of the Assembly.
MM. Beerier, Colonel of the Firs: Legion of the
Butlieue, Forresta, Colonel of the Sixth Legion,
Maigne, and Perrier have been arrested.
The manifestation, during its march, might have
counted elevr n funerals, waiting at the ends of streets
leading on to the boulevarts, until it bad passed, and
allowed them to proceed on their way to the ceme-
teries.
In the Legislative Assembly the sitting was re-
sealed at half-past s,..erhen M. Gustave de Beaumoct
read a report declaring that there appeared good
reason for adopting the state of age. Accordingly,
the following decree was pond:
Cambering that an armee Warrendale directed asebal
the coestitutionsl power of the republie has broken out is
Paris, and that it may extend to other cities cf France ; een-
sibling that it is necessary to arm government with the
means necessary to ensure a prompt and efficacious repression
of the insurrection, to give force to the law and maintain the
amstituttc n,
Art. 1. The city of Paris and all the circumscriptions com-
prised in the first military division ars placed in a state of
siege.
Art. 2. This measure may be extended to towns in which
similar insurrections may break out, and so soon as the
prefccta have proclaimed the fact of revolt spirit tbe law.

The first division comprises six sub-division : The
Seine, Seine et Oise, Ome-Loiret, Loir et Cher, Eure
et Loir, Seine et Marne, tiemi-laferieure Sure, Yonne
and Aube.
During the debate on the decree above ;feel,
General Cavaignao ascended the tribune, and said,
in answer to a member—" You my that the state of
siege caused oar fall. It is not me We did not fall,
but we descended from power. The national will is
not one of those powers that overthrow ; it ordains,
and we obey. I have served the republic, and shall
serve nothing else. But if ever it should fall, you
will have been the cause." The ,asesmbly adopted
the mile its etat de siege, by 394 against 82.
The President then informed the assembly that W.
Sachet (du Var) had been arrested, and demanded
whether the arrest would be authorised by the as-
sembly ; he and other members of the Mountain bad
held a 'meting at the Conservatoire des Arts at Me-
tiers, and he had gone to invite the National Oiled
to join them. After some discussion, M. Napoleon
Bonaparte proposed that M. Sachet (du Ver)l
should be heard in the Assembly. This woe re-1
jected by 328 votes to 87. The nimbly then
adjourned at nine o'cicck until ten, to centime]
the disenseion on the arrest of M. Sachet (de Var).
The sitting was resumed at half-past ten, when
the arrest of M. Suchet (da Var) was authorised,
as was that of Messrs. Meigne, Daniele,l
Bcch, Vsntier, and Farguier-Fayole, other
representatives, who had been arrested. A report
was then read by ML Leeman from Gen. Changer's:or,
giving a favourible account of the state of the capital,
after which the Assembly adjourned to ten o'clock
this day. The troops round the Chamber had been
all ordered to their quarters at dusk, and every thing
in the neighbourhood was perfectly tranquil when the
Assembly broke up.
During the suspension of the sitting the Assembly
retired into its bureaux to deems the urgency of.
taking into consideration the proposition for declaring
Paris in a state of siege. The committee, formed by
the bureaux, decided unanimously in favour of the
