LATEST FROM PARIS.

REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON
THE INSURRECTIONS OF MAY
AND JUNE.

PARIS, THURSDAY, 630 r.x.
The great event of the day is the report of the com-
mittee of inquiry on the insurrections, the reading of
which commenced at two o'clock. This is a document
of the very highest importance, and likely to he
followel by most serious consequences. It consist•
apparently of three parts ; the first, relating to the
events of the 17th March and 1 fith April, which
preceded the convocation of the National Assembly,
the second to the rnreute of the 13th May, and the
third to the insurrection of June.
The reporter first passes in review the represen-
tatives compromised.
M. Ledre Rollin is compromised in the affairs of
April and May. No charge is raised against him in
the affairs of June.
MM. Caussidiere and Louis Blanc are compro-
mised in all the disturbances which have agitated Paris,
and have figureti in them more or less directly. Cans-
sidiere was seen on the barricades on the 23th June,
and Louis Blanc on the 24th, at the abattoirs of
Clichy.
;The charges against Caussidiere ere very pave.
M. Prudlion was signalised on 27th June, in P.:
Fauborg St. Antoine.
M. Levis Blanc is proud to have taken part at the
Hotel de Ville on the 15th May.
Lamartine does not appear to have been compro-
mised.

-----
The affair of the lath March, is characterised as a
manifestation ; that of the 16th April, as a conspiracy;
that of the 15th May, as an overt act of tres..on; and
that of Jane, as civil war.
The celebrated bulletin of the Republic, No. 16, is
sited in the commencement of the report, and Ma-
dame Georges Sand stigmatised as its author.
After the report was read, Ledru Rollin mounted
the tribune, rod defended himself, with feverish ani-
mation, but without producing any fact.
The Mountain cheered him furiously. M. Louis
Blanc next spoke, with still more embarrassment than
Ledru
Adjourned at a quarter-past six.
The first part took about an hour in the delivetj,
and at el of it the session was suspended for a
short time. Certain passages in this strongly incul-
pated MM. Ledru Rollin, Louis Blanc, and Caussi-
diere, and the reading of them elicited from these
individuals severally most violent reclamations, and
drew from M. Caussidiere, more especially, epithets
in reference to the report which polite ears do not
delight io.
Before the reading of the report commenced, the
President of the Assembly called attention to the
great importance of the document they were
about to hear, and to the poeiible necessity of
arrestations arising out of the di6cloaures about to be
made. This announcement was received by the
Assembly with profound emotion.
M. Bauchart commenced the reading of his report
as follows :
M. BAUCHART.—You have confided to us the important
charge of examining the cause.; of the events of May and
June, and the connection existing between these attempts.
We have sought the intention of the Assembly in
the decree by which we were instituted. (2d. Ban
chart hero cited the terms of the decree constituting
the committee of inquiry.) This, continued M. Bauchart,
you have decided that the inquiry should be public, and that
st should not be judicial; accordingly, in your omnipo-
tence, you have bad respect to the division of re-
minkentes. We have surrounded ourselves with
the illumination of magistratel; but we have been stopped at
the moment when we were about to enter upon the domain of
justice. The relation between the two fatal epochs of May
and June we have sought for, as you directed, in order to
assign to eecb the part which is his due. We have not with-
drawn before anything, and we have this consolation to re-
flect upon, that our authority has been implicitly obeyed, and
that each hue lent to the work the most ready concurrence.
All have submitted before our power. Nevertheless, a certain
number o: witnesses have not completed their doperiti-ne,
and ethers have preserved the anonymous. Such is the
terror which impresses the factious. (Excitement.) But
before the courage of the Assembly, before the immunity of
oar rk, justice and truth have regained their rights,
and the factious have not only lowered the
bead, but have even submitted. I ought here at once to
(Swam/ire the two attempts. In the first revolution each
catastrophe had its explication, in events internal and ex-
ternal, in the doctrines spread in a acciety under the
impress.on of strange influences. But here there
were neither causes ncr pretexts, and the history
e f the world does not present a parallel example.
The National Assembly was awaited with great and just im
patience, being the consequences of the sovereignty of the
people driven to its last resources. The National As-
sembly, on the first day of its meeting, proclaimed a repub-
lic, and thinking but of its past services, declared
that the Provisional Government had deserved the thanks
of the country. Wishing to promote nothing but sentiments
of cinciliation, the National Assembly still retained the
principal members of the Provisional Government in the
new Executive Power; and, after its first operations, and
while standing alone, the Assembly, invested with the
full confidence of the people, proceeded to its work ;
but found itself instantly attacked by the discontented, who
for three hours surrounded the Assembly. Wishing . not to
depart from its moderation, the Assembly ordered no inquiry
to take place into the calm of these disturbances ; and,
later, when the most democratic constitution was preparing,
when measures for the general good were being taken in the
different committees—in the bureaux, to ameliorate the con-
dition of the workmen, and to prevent, by the closing of the
national workshops, that misery might not remain without
assistance—then, by an insurrection prepared for some
length of time, Paris found itself transformed into a field of
battle, where French blood was shed during three
days. You know too well the terrible struggles
of these three days—we shall spare you • recital
of them. The principal object of the manifestation
of the 15th of May was to dissolve the Assembly,
and to establish is its place a sort of Committee
of Public Safety. In a word, this crisis bad taken more a
political than a socialist character. The insurrection
of the 23rd of June has another character—in origin-
ated in the national workshops, which workshops
bad been formed in the conferences held at the
Luxembourg. We endeavoured, by all our means, to as-
certain if money had been distributed amongst the workmen
—our endeavours have all been fruitless—and, if some
isolated facts have been proved, they do not appear to us of
*efficient importance. However, we have found it impos-
sible to conceal from ourselves the fact that between the oc-
enzrences of the 13th May and the month of June, there is
*striking analogy. The Assembly has ordered an inquiry
boon those two tact* of which the following is the result:
GENERAL CACSIB.—The Commission of Inquiry would
have desired not to have carried its investigations into facts
wkich would demand the most severe repression. It
would have desired to have been bound by the vote of the
Assembly with reference to the acts of the Provisional Go-
ry/anew; but the facts are to intermingled, flat the cosa.

' mission finds itself under the necessity to go far back to
enable them to arrive at the causes of discontent. The acts
of the Provisional Government have sometimes been of a
nature to throw disquietude into different minds; end,
in fact, we have too often four.d, in our investigation,
the fatal effeets of documents issued in the pro-
vinces by government agents, who have since teen
replaced. We have also seen agents from the most in-
fluential clubs tent into the provinces with money taken from
the funds of the Minister of the Interior. We have also to
signalise the different bulletins addressed to the people
at the moment of the elections, which caused such alarm in
France, and which occasioned such a heavy responsibility
on th, ministry. These bulletins have been disavowed
by the ministry itself; but there riots a very remarkable
circumstance, which hes been unmasked oy the
inquiry—which is, that these bulletins had been
written by a woman—(murnsun)—of very eminent
literary talent, it is true who sent these bul-
letins all reduced to methodical order, to the Minister of the
Interior. (Fresh murmurs.) There exists also towards the
some minister a profound ditterence of opinion with respect
to the exterior question; and this difference bu Riven birth
to measures contradictory in themselves. Besides these
dissensions, there exists another gesm of difference
at the Luxembourg and which has taken its on
gin in the principles which have been proclaimed.
These principles have been opposed and censured by M.
Arago himself, who expressly declares that, if any favour is
ehowa to them, the greatest possible evils will be the con-
sequence.
bl. Loins BLIINC.—I demand liberty to speak. (Mur-
murs. )_

M. Boucitator.—The commission established to can,
on its investigations upon the re-unions of *-
Luxemburg has satisfied itself that all the discourses pro-
nounced at the Luxembourg by M. Louis Blanc have ion
been published. It has summoned before it the principal
short-hand writer who was ateeehed to the Luxembourg,
and, having put him to his oath, it exacted from him that he
should produce the sites which be had in his possession
containing those fragments of the speeches of M. Louis
Blanc which had not been made public. Here are Nome
fragments of these discourses:—" My friends, it is you who
are the assembly of the deputies of the people ;, tie it thet
the Nativnal Assembly shall be able to establish itself or not,
I entertain a perfect confidence that this one shall never
perish. Being but a child, I have said to myself, ' This
social order is at. an end.' I have sworn befcre my Gad and
my conscience,thst if I shall ever be called on to legislate for
this iniquitous state of thing., I will never forget that I am
only an unfortunate off-pring of the people, and
I have taken the oath of Hannibal. (Great excitement.)
When I say that proletarianism is a state of vassalage,
utter a ward in which I embrace a vast compass of meaning.
Universal suffrage—is not teat an expression of the great
will of the people 1 Yet., in a state of society in which the
whole world shall be equal, where there shall exist a free de-
velopment of all the faculties, moral and material, but in
society as it is at present constituted—no, no!
a thousand times I answer no !" "My friends, understand
this well, and take it along with you: you are the only
power—you are all kings; for in a republic all men are
equal and are kings. In a republic there are no longer the
odious distinctions of rich and poor—the deadly eyes ran of
which is based the present infamous state of thin‘s." The
commission cannot conceal from itself what a poieoeoue
fluence such speeches, and publications oimila-, Inuit
have had ov-r the minds of she great body of the workmen,
and it has thouait it its duty to make a strict examiliatem
into the facts which have given rise to this sate of things.
On the 27th of February the Provisional Government had
passed a decree for the establishment of national workshop:'
and they are well aware of what vast disorder these work.
seeps have been at once the subject and the cause. These
national workshops have been, even among the very
members of of the Provisional Government itself, the subject
of the warmest discussions. The Provi-ional Government
hail decreed the disbanding of the commodes of grenadiers
and the voltigeurs of the national guard. This dishauding
of those troops was the cause of a movement which took
place even in the hall of sitting of the Provisional Govern-
ment; and we have had every reason to be assured that the
hand of M. Caussidiere, and that of M. Louis Blanc himself,
were no strangers' o this movement. (S, filiation.) Among
the clues, subjects and questions of the most anarchical
nature were addressed to the several candidates. They have
demanded, whether in epic the Assembly was not prepared
to march forward in the path of reform, agreeably to their
ideas, they were not ready to march, as it were, against it.
In a meeing, got together by the care of the Prefect of
Police, this same person declared that the government com-
missioners were much too lukewarm, and that the Assembly
did not proceed fast enough.
M. CAMIDITRE here uttered from his place some
words whit', we could not catch. A number of voice: were
heard shouting " order, order."
M. LE PRESIDENT.—I request M. Caussidiere to he
silent; he will presently have an opportunity of dime lee
the report.
M. BACClCART.—They.added that if the Asseml•ly did
not move faster, it would be • very easy thing to demceish
the Alsemby altogether ; that they had 120.000 mess ready
to march at a moment's notice; end that nr.reover there
would be no necessity for their being possessed
of fire-arms as for s'l purpo:es, chemical !prepara-
tions and fire balls would be quite sufficient. (Con-
tinued excitement.) Be-ides this, we have more-
over, a letter of the Bth of May, written by a cei.ain M.
Grand Mind to his son, as manufacturer of pyrotechnics a.
Angus. " I recommend you instantly to sat about making
a considerable number of shells, and such des-
tructive arsicle:. Above all things preserve the greatest
secrecy. (Sensation here that it is utterly impos-
sible to describe.) A deposition of a political :iersoneee has
appeared to us extremely curious. One evening in April,
there was a meeting et the house of M. Ledru Rollie
for the purlieu of forming a committee of public safety.
Several were proposed to us: Rasaail, Blanqui, Kersansie,
Ledra Rollin, and Floeon ; Blew:pat relined, sasin7 that
Ledru R dlio was not an honest man and Ledru Rollin also
refused to resonate with Blanqui ; Platte was cent eluting
the night to Ledru ROM, and said to him : " You will not
be one of us ? Wall, on Suuday we shall make you
jump through your window; we are sure of our
business." The 16th of April came. With what object
' and is what manner d:d that day pass we wi:l now ex.
amine. The choice of a staff for the nations' gue-d wee but a
pretext. According to come of the members of the peon-
'lout government t re perfect of police was the avowed
chief of the plot. Another chief of police says that to him
may be elided, Dirties, 131anqui, and Ledru-Rollin; the
object was to name Ledru-Rollin dictator. We have found
it to be the opinion of a high functiouary that such was the
intention, but we have been unable to fins a positive con-
firmation of it. Let es now hear what M. Lamartine said
in his depc:itions. Ile said: "M. Ledru Rollin came to
me one morning with much animation in his manner; be
told me that we were about to Ise attacked 'oe 400,000 men,
at the head of whom were 20,000 armed clubbieu. He did
not conceal from me the fact that they wishnl is exclude me
and some of lay colleagues from the Hotel de Ville. I told
him that he was Minister of the battier, and that as such,
he had a right to cause the rappel to be beaten. It the
national guard, I added, answers to the call, we are safe.
Ledru Rollin went out. I then went to the house of
Duvivier, and then to the Hotel de Ville ; and as the 12th
Legion appeared on the bridge, crying out' Vive la Repub.
lique !' I saluted the triumph of moderate republiranimn.
That triumph was the result of that day, and all the honour
of it belongs tot he national guard." The depositions of Gene-
ral Changarniee throws a new light on this event. "On
arriving at the Hotel de Ville," he said, "there were neither
arms nor cutridges. M. Lamsrtine came in, looking
anxious, and complaining of the divisions which existed in the
Provisional Government, and accusing Louis Blenc and
Ledru Rollin. As no measurea were then being taken, I ar-
ranged with M. Mama, whose attitude had been excellent—
(satisfaction)—and as I thought that the rappel ought .o be
beaten, I addressed that gentleman, who wrote an order to
that effect. The cause of anarchy, though conquered, was
not discouraged. Numerous proofs exist of the spirit of
dis-
order and anarchy having resist, d the first check;—these
proofs consisting in anarchical speeches, sent in
parcels, free, to the departments; the fury of the
club-. • bills posted up calling on the people to
plunder, and emanating from the Minister of the Interior,
and published by the men of that ministry ,• nocturnal
meetings in the closets of the same ministry ; and project, for
causing those elections to be annulled which had a character
of hostility to the government. The 15th of May was de-
voted to these preparations. The Club of Clubs, under M.
Sobrier, and that of the Rights of Man, first fix our atten- '
tion. They were armed ; the members of the govern-
ment were in correspondence with them; their areas came
out of the ateliers of the state. The elections were an-
nounced, and the clubs had the idea of centralising them-
selves to dominate the elections. The Club of Clubs held its
sittings in the house No. 16, Rue de Rivoli ; there 400 mus-
kets and 30,000 cartridges were seen to be brought.
General Courtais in vain threatened to dissolve this c)ub.
By an inexplicable weakness, it was allowed to exist.
This club organized men on whom they could rely, end sent
them into the provinces, paying them, at the rate of lofr.
per day, from funds taken from the treasury. It is painful
to observe how, in some of the documents found at the house
of Sobrier, some of the honourable members of this Assem-
bly have been attacked. With regard to the society of the
Rights of Man, the reports of the police have made us ac-
quainted with the fact that it was composed of 14,000
men in Paris and 20,000 in the provinces. Its
place of meeting was in the vicinity of the Palais Royal.
There they cast bullets and made preparations for a civil
war. The members of the government corresponded with
the society of the Rights of Man, as with the club of
Sobrier, and sought to find partisans therein. This club
had two manufactories of arms, of which the authorities
were ignorant or affected to be eo. The ateliers natiosaux
were recruited from the body of delegates of the
Luxembourg, which had been dissolved. It is well
known what was the spirit which animated the mem-
bers of the Meilen' nationaux ; we desire to make
known an assertion of Emile Thomas, who said
that the ateliers nationsux were anxious to con-
gratulate M. Lamartine on his connexion with 111, Ledru
Rollin. and his thereby supporting the Assembly. Such
are the facts with regard to the 15th May, and they are in
perfect accordance with the measures taken for the move-
ment then in course of preparation ; for, in the papers seized
at Sobrier's, we have discovered full proofs of the conspiracy.
The attempt was consummated ' • on whom ought to fall the
responsibility of that attempt ? The executive power
answers that orders were given ; and that no government,
perhaps can be exempt from mistakes or from trea-
son. 'the commander-in-chief of the national guard
says that orders were glean to the 4th Legion to
assemble on the bridge, but that the President of the
Assembly gave orders that they should only occupy the foot
pavements ; and that if the guard mobile offered no resistance,
it was because General Teaspoons, who commanded them,
leg his post, that he might be a spectator of what was
going on in the Assembly. If the commandant of
the national guard did not came the rappel to be beaten,
it was because the Prefect of Police told him it would
be useless ; that there was no neoemity for it, and that
it would on own needless alarm to the population.
