The Remond family,

sound the tocsin. flea et artier have preyed themselves
unanimous and resolved at Saint Arnaud. as they were at
Sancerre. The prefect, the general, the precureur-general,
left in the night with 200 men, cavalry and infantry, and
must have arrived at en early hour. The greatest tranqui-
lity prevails at ]bargee,Vierzon, Anbiguy Sancerre, sad
in the rest of the department.
By decree of the general commanding the de-
rtment, the national guards of the communes of
Saint Amand, Bessais, Arphenille, and Uzay le
Venon are to be disarmed.
M. Chapin, formerly colonel of the 4th Lesion of
the National Guard of Paris, has been appointed to
the provisional command of that legion, in the place
of Colonel Raimond de la Croissette, whose resigna-
tion is accepted.
The government, and only permitted account of
the disturbances in the Puy-de-Dome, states, that on
the arrival of the courier from Paris with the news
of the events of December 2, the red republicans as-
sembled and took • n of the majror's house.
Being driven out y the gendarmerie they spread
themselves about the rural districts to recruit
their partisans. The fire brigade and the good
citizens, armed with fowling-pieces, are guarding
the barriers. The demagogue", intimidated by the
energetic attitude of the friends of order, have taken
flight; 200 troops of the line have arrived from
Clermont, and everything promises that order will
not be disturbed. For the rest, the whole depart-
ment has received with joy the news of the great
events which have assured the destinies of France.
The Conslitutionnel says that at Saint-Oengoux,
near Chalons-liar-Saone, the mob, after taking the
cash-box of the receiver of taxes, forced a rich
proprietor to contribute 2,000 f. This incident is
cited to prove that the Socialists first attack the
public Treasury, but that they will soon fall upon the
property of private individuals. It is added, that
from this slight foretaste, what 1832 would have
been may be imagined.
The following are later accounts of the state of the
departments according to the government organs,
up to six o'clock this evening :
At Orleans the insignificant movement directed by
the ex-representative, M. Martin, is at an end.
At Niort, where the mayor resigned, the whole
population has shown itself resolved to maintain
order and to support the government. A municipal
commission has been appointed in the place of the
council which has been suspended.
In the Seine Inferieure some socialist leaders have
been arrested, and among them one who was the
bearer of a " word" for the democrats of Rouen. The
population of ltouen unanimously applauds these
repressive measures.
[The Journal de Rouen, which has reached this
office, protests most energetically against the Bona-
partist measures, and has consequently been sus-
pended.)
The Havre journals announce that the only event
of importance has been the resignation of one of the
mayor's assistants. The squadron of Chasseurs at
Havre have voted unanimously for Louis Napoleon.
[The Journal du Havre, which has reached us, ad-
heres emphatically to the above-mentioned protest of
the Journal de Rouen, and declines so much as to
guarantee the assertions of the government journals
which it reprints.)
At Hanker an attempt was made to cut a post of
the electric telegmph,.but the author of this crime
was interrupted.
St. Quentin, about which some alarming rumours
have been current, has been perfectly tranquil, not-
withstanding the resignation of the mayor. There is
nothing to fear even from the most decided among
the other socialists of the neighbourhood. The manu-
facturers of St. Quentin have never for an instant
suspended their works.
The Courrier de Lyon, dated Dec. 6, says that
when the news from Paris arrived, the democrats of
La Ouillotidre attempted to placard some bills to
seduce the army. The attempt came to nothing.
lln the Jura, 80 socialists, belonging to a secret so-
ciety, marched upon Lons-le-Saulmer to raise the
Redo. Forty troops of the line, and 20 gendarmes,
dispersed them, and made 15 prisoners.
At Tournus, four companies of the 4th Light In-
fantry, sent from Macon, dispersed 200 anarchists,
who had attempted to nake themselves masters of
the city. The journals of Clermont fully confirm the
news of the tranquillity of that town, as well as of
the whole Puy-de-Dome.
At Wooden and de Blanc, the stronghold of the de-
of the Indre, the leaders allowed themselves
rosera:::sted without resistance. The agitators of
Chateeuroux surrendered with equal facility.
In the Nidvre M. )HM'' constituents provoked an
appeal to arms, and seduced some persons to
join them. 'f he troops sent against them have
hemmed them in at Clancy, where they must soon
be reduced to submission.
By the last telegraphic despatch front Marseilles,
dated Dec. 4, two in the morning, all is tranquil.
MILITARY EXECUTIONS IN THE STREETS.
Two hundred and ten of the ex-gardiene de nuit,
Who are known to be devoted to Ledru-Rollin
and Casimidiere, have been arrested and are to
be bid. One of these guardians, who was arrested
&ohm the fighting the other day for threatening
mime sentries, was found to have two poignards
eau some cartridges upon him. He resisted the
arrest, and when overpowered continued to cry
oat against the agents of the government, where-
upon, upon the order of the officer commanding the
guard-house to which he was taken, he was shot in
the Rue de Jerusalem,
A woman, upon whose person 25 peignards were
hound, was taken prisoner, and shot by -the 36th of
the line.
M. Reims, of the Ordre, an eminent journalist of
Orleans politico, was among the killed on the Boule-
vard Montmartre, in the affair of Thursday. He was
a warm supporter of MM. Thies and Changarnier.
M. Reims was formerly editor of the Courrier Fran-
cais, and was at one time secretary to the Northern
Railway.

The Minister of the Interior has addressed t cir-
cular to the prefects, with instructions to carry out
the provisions of the electoral law of March 15,
1849, in the ballot of the 20th and 21st December.
The lists of March, 31, 1849, will be taken as the
base of the new lists, which will include all citizens
who have duos that period acquired the age of 21,

and undergo other necessary modifications in confor-
mity to the law of March 15, 1849. The elector
Oui"
s
will hand in a closed ticket, inscribed simply, "
or " Non."
The Minister of the Interior has addressed a letter
to the Commander of the National Guard, stating
'that several proprietors have had the audacity to
write on their doors, " Arms given here." The Pee-
-1 bet of Police is ordered to denounce the legions in
which these facts have occurred, in order that their
dissolution may be decreed by the government.
General Lawcestine replies that the sth Legion of
the National Guard has suffered the doable affront
of being disarmed at home by the insurgents and of
the above mentioned inscnptioa. Th 3 mayory of
their arrondissement fell into the hands of the in-
surgents notwithstanding the presence of more than
60 men. Therefore the general demands the disso-
lution of the sth Legion. At the same time he
praises the spirit of order and obedience which has
in many other legions. In consequence
peat
ithari oledution of the sth Legion has been sbareed,
sad the Minister of the Interior has ordered their
disarmament to be proceeded forthwith.
A conflict has taken place at Montargis in the
Loiret, in which the socialist party were defeated,
with loss, by the National Guard.
The Chamber of Commerce at Havre made in its
sitting of the sth a demonstration against the acts
of the President. The military commander of that
port during the state of siege has therefore issued a
proclamation, warning all deliberative bodies not
to exceed the strict limit of their attributions, by
passing resolutions on such matters, otherwise they
will be dissolved. He abstains from dissolving the
Chamber of Commerce on the present occasion, con-
sidering the inconvenience that might result to com-
merce from such a measure.
A commission of three mayors, an architect, and
doetnr, presided over by the Prefect of the Seine, is
appointed to value the damages done to innocent vic-
tims. A credit of 200,000 fr. is opened to the minis-
ter of the interior to provide for the first needs.
M. Pierre Leroy, prefect of Calvados, is appointed
commissioner extraordinary of the government in the
Indre.
The Conatitutionnel announces that M. Thiers is
about to travel in Italy for the sake of his health,
which is much shattered, particularly by late events.
The following correspondence has been published
between M. Casablanca, the late Minister of Finance,
and M. d'Argout, the Governor of the Bank of
France:
Monsieur le Gouverneur,—A report has been spread that
on the occasion of recent events I had drawn from the Bank,
as Minister of Finance, a sum of twenty-five millions.
You are aware that there is no foundation for this
report; that I confined myself in my despatch, of Nov.
27, to give you notice of the intention of the government
to dispose of that sum by
.virtue of the treaty of June 30,
1848, and that I left the ministry without having drawn out
the 25 millions, which I desired to keep in reserve for
the necessities of the public service. Will you, I beg, be so
kind as to authorise me to make public the answer which
you will do me the honour to send me. Receive, &c.,
Paris, Dec. 6, 1851. X.. DE CALABIANCA._
M. d'Argout'e answer :
buten to reply to the letter which you have done
me the honour to address to me. You are pleased to enter
into explanations with me about the false reports that
were current with respect to your relations with the bank
in your capacity of Minister of Finance. These calumnious
reports have already been contradicted in the Pattie and in
the Constitution/wt. I think that no traces of them remain.
Nevertheless, to comply with your desire, I declare that en
the 27th November you did me the honour to address to me
a despatch, purporting that it was your intention to claim
for the Treasury the cum of twenty-five millions, forming
the residue of a loan of one hundred and fifty millions which
the bank had engaged to effcct by virtue of the treaty of
Juno 30, 1848, approved by the decree of July 25 following,
and reduced to 75 millions, by virtue of the law of Aug. 6.
1850, and of which sum 50 millions only had theretofore been
paid to the Treasury. The Council of the Bank, deliberating
the same clay upon the demand recognised that it was eon-
formable to the terms of the treaty, whereby the latest
periods fur requiring the completion of the loan were
successively prolonged at first until December 31, 1830, and
afterward& until December 31, 1831. The Treasury up to
this day, December 6, has not yet availed itself of this
power of requiring the completion of the loan, and its account
has not yet been credited with any portion whatsoever
of these 25 millions. I shall have the honour to observe to
you that although the most absurd events have circulated
upon a thousand occasions with regard to the operations
of this establishment, I should have enough to do if I were
to contradict them all, and I never trouble myself about
them. At the end of a very short time, such rumour
have invariably come to nothing and been forgotten.—Re-
ceive, &c., D'Anouer.
Paris, ee. 6, 1851.
It is said (according to the correspondent of
the Independence Beige) that several decrees
will shortly appear in the Moniteur—one giving
ministers the power to expel foreigners from
France ; another by which workmen not born in
Paris will be removed to their departments;
another authorising the deportation of any cri-
minal liberated near Paris on the expiration
of his punishment; one giving the power to expel
from Paris any person having ill-will towards the
government; mid lastly, one permitting the expul-
sion from France of all the political chiefs who
have taken part in any of the events of the last 25
years.
The following members of the council of state, on
the 3rd, signed a protest against its dissolution :

PARIS, MONDAY EVENING.
Generally there is every reason to believe that the I
President's coup d'etathas been wellreceived through-1
out France. But as the exceptions to the general
rule do not appear in any paper, and are only ob-
tained through a private communication, I think
the more necessary to send tho following, whiclf‘
have received from a friend:
" The council-general of the Ile-et-Vilaine has pro-
tested against the act of 2nd December, with the ex-
ception of three members. The council-general of
the Loire-Inferieure has protested unanimously."
In consequence of the universal adhesion of the
middle classes to the policy of Louis Napoleon, we
must soon look for a complete change in the tone of
political men, who still hang back, and even treat
his offers with scorn. So persuaded am I that in a
few weeks, if the President be returned, as ha is
I almost sure of being by an enormous majority, these
same political men will be among the first to bend,
their backs at the Elyeee, that I do not attach much
importance to the contemptuous demonstra-
tions with which they now protest t their
names being enrolled in the Consultative
With this qualification I proceed totes yes the
fallowing extracts, which I have received from a
private source, of a letter written by the Duke of
Albufera to Louie Napoleon, on perceiving his name
in the list of embryo senators. " Your uncle gave
Iv family an honourable name, which you have tar-
mashed by putting it in the list of your commission."
I am not aware how many such protests
have been written. I only hope the honourable
pride which dictated them will not be changed by
the alchemy of power into an humble regret.
I have conversed to-clay with a considerable number
of persons of all classes. There is but one feeling
and one opinion, and that is that Louis Napoleon
will be accepted by an immense majority. Such
feelings and opinions are entirely independent of
any moral judgment of his coup d'etat. No one stops
a moment to consider whether Louis Napoleon has
broken his oath, and will keep his word. The uni-
versal exclamation is "We have nothing else
to look to; the government of Louis Napo-
leon is the only organised government we
can now hope for. If you ask what is to be-
eps, of the press ; how long a chamber chosen by
usivereal suffrage will be suffered to last; if you

lehiefe, you are answered by another volley of ques-
tions, of which the main purport is to tell you that
nothing can be worse than what has been since Feb.
1848. The truth is that opinion among the French is
the Mushroom growth of a single night ; on Thursday
while the contest was raging the Parisians were all
aptly ; to-day, when the victory is won, they adhere,
ea they call it, with eagerness, to the strongest
side; to-morrow they will acclaim the conqueror. I
cannot toe emphatically impress on your mind that
the Leis Napoleon of to-day is not the President all
s week ego, who was taunted with an ineffectual
ambition, an impotent wish to establish the Bae-Ens-1
pire, wise was nicknamed Augustulus by Lamed-
mere, and Vitellius by Michel de Bourget. He is onto
more, as in December, 1848, the man to whom
all France looks for the re-settlement of a govern-
ment, under which people may sleep without fast d

having their throats cut, or being pillaged of their
substance. If the fortune of Thursday had gone
against him through dissensions in the army, or
mutiny of the national guard, the victory would
have been disputed between the " Reds" and the
" Whites," between Ledru Rollin and Changarnier.
As it is, the barricades having been removed, tho
way is, the present, paving with all
able speed towards the empire. I have heard
many doubts suggested as to the probability
of fair play in the ballot of " Yes or No," the prefects,
mayors, and municipal functionaries, being mostly
devoted to the President. But it is unnatural and
absurd to suppose that such a vast scheme of univer-
sal swindling could be organised by any set of human
instruments, however devoted, as to vitiate the ballot
systematically by collusion between the electoral
boards, which were chosen by the electors themselves,
and the central authorities.
Yesterday and to-day the military authorities have
been employed in the disarmament of the nth legion
of the national guard. This operation has been
effected hitherto without the least resistance. I have
already in a previous letter described the aspect of
the sth arrondissement, which is the local habitation
of the sth legion. This district of Paris was, in fact,
the principal scat of the insurrection. Outside many
of the houses there were large announcements in
chalk on the shutters, "Armes donnees." But
. .

in general the inhabitants only parted with their
arms under circumstances of intimidation by the in-
surgents. The soldiers were well received by the
majority of the householders, who, in fact, desired no
better guarantee against the plunder of their pro-
perty than the presence of the military. On Wed-
nesday evening, the quarter of St. Martin, St. Denis,
and the adjacent streets was traversed by armed in.
surgents, with about 50 in each band. Wherever
they met with a decent-looking establishment, where
several shopmen or national guards were likely to be
lodged, they knocked at thedoors,and required thearms
which the state confides to such citizens. If the pos-
session of arms was disavowed intimidation followed
until 'they. were given up. As soon as the unpleasant
visit terminated an apprentice generally slipped out
of the establishment to fetch a picket of soldiers, who
took possession of the house. Thus the streets were
so fully occupied by the military, that they COM.
pletely commanded every barricade. This circum-
stance accounts for the surprising paucity of casual-

ties in the army.
The police have paid two visits to the house in
which the correspondent of the Chronicle lodges.
The general estimation in which this gentleman is
held by his friends has caused an extensive demon-
' titration of sympathy on his behalf, and all means
have been taken to stimulate the English ambassador
to make a spirited remonstrance against his expulsion
from Paris for no better reason than having paid
attention to rumours hostile to the government.
The Minister of the Interior has addressed tho
foliowing very important circular to the prefects:
Pais' Dec. 7.
By my circular of Dec. 2, you were invested with the
right of suspending, and even of immediately dismissing,
all functionaries whose co-operation should not be certain.
These extraordinary powers it was necessary to confer on
you, when it was indispensable to at once put down the
attempts of resistance which might be of a nature to com-
promise the success of the grand measures of public
safety decreed by Prince Louis Napoleon. These
powers permitted you to reach even the juges de pair,
but they must cease at present, now that the go-
vernment is master of the situation. The time, besides,
which is to elapse before the opening of the ballot, allows
the ordinary modes of nomination to be followed. You
are, consequently, Monsieur Is l'rifet, for the future, to
leave to the heads of the Courts of Appe d the free and full
exercise of the right which belongs to them to present, and
to the Minister of Justice the exercise of the right which
belongs to him, to nominate to alt the functions of the ma-
gistracy. The Minister of Justice likewise invites the Pro-
cureur-General to consult you on the dismissals and nomi-
nations to be made. De Mottxv.

Official accounts state that in the recent fighting
the casualties in the army were, 1 field officer and
15 soldiers killed, and 3 officers and 101 soldiers
wounded. Among the latter tho greater part havo
received serious wonnds.
All the insurgents who were found wounded at
the barricades are for the most part taken care of in
the hospitals. The liotel-Dieu has received 30, and
the Charite 10 or 12. The hospital of St. Antoine,
and that of Ste. Marguerite, both near the quarters
where the struggle took place, have received but
comparatively few persons. Some soldiers are also
to be found at the civil hospitals; but the great num-
ber of the wounded belonging to the army havo been
taken to the military hospitals or to the ambulances
established near the scene of action.
General Magnan, the commander-in-chief, in an
order of the day calling the attention of the army to
General St. Arnaud's complimentary proclamation
to the troops, adds the following brief address from
himself

The general-in-chief is happy to have to transmit to the
troops the satisfaction of the minister at war. He thanks
them with him for their generous co-operation, and is mars
proud than ever of the honour of commanding them.
M. Maurice Duval, who has just been invested
with the enormous powers of an extraordinary com-
missary of government in the eight departments of
tho Cotes-du-Nord, Finistere, Ile-et-N ilaine, Loire
Inferieure, Morbihan, Maine-et-Loire, La VendCe,
and La Mayenne, is well accustomed to the peculiar
species of service of which various French govern-
ments have stood in need in critical times. Ile was
prefect of Genoa front 1811 to 1814. At the time of
the troubles about the census, he was sent to Tou-
louse. Subsequently, when the Loire Inferieure was
' in a state of dangerous agitation, he was removed to
Nantes. On all these occasions M. Duval did nut
disappoint the expectations that were formed of
Eleven more ex-representatives (as they arc now
called) were arrested last night. They are MM.
' Carboneau, Ceyras, Chabert, Chavassieu, Gavarret,
Gambon, Guiter, erdiquier, Richardet, Mathc, and
Huguenin, who represent severally the departments
of Gers, Correzc, Ardeche, Loire, lidvre, PyrenCes
lOnentales, Seine, Jura, Allier, and Haute Saone.
The inspectors of public salubrity have found in
the public sewers a number of tin boxes filled with
powder. They have been deposited at the prefecture
of police. Mani seizures of arms of all kinds have
been made in vitae houses. Several carriages were
requisite to convey them all to the prefecture of
police. These arms, almost without exception, be-
longed to the national guard.
The Constitutionnel contradicts the reports of the
state prisoners being ill-treated. With regard to
Vincennes in particular, it is stated that the prisoners
there are lodged in the apartments formerly occupied
by the Prince de Joinville, and that General Courugis
pays them every attention.
The following are the principal points of the circu-
lar sent by the Minister of the Intenor to the prefects
at departments relative to the mode of taking of votes
in the appeal to the people :
The votes are to be taken on the 20th and 21st inst. The
electors are to be the persons who would be entitled to vote
in virtue of the electoral law of the 15th March, 1849, that
is to say, all those not labouring under certain specified
disqualifications who are twenty-one years of age, and have
resided six months at least in a commune. The junto are to
be published at the latest on the 16th, and are to tosfieftni-
tively closed on the 19th. Citizens whose names are omitted
may call on the mayors or juges de pat: to insert them.
The voting is to be continued each day from eight o'clock to
four. Where the population is too large to voteentirely in
one place, sections may be established. rho presidency of the
bureau of the voting places is to be occupied by mayors
deputy-mayors, and municipal councillors, or in their
absence by persons delegated by juges de pair. Each bu-
reau is to consist of a president, four assessors, sad a sects-
tary chosen by them from amongst the electors. The asses-
sore are to be taken from amongst the municipal coos-
calor', in the order of inscription, unless the juges do pair
shall have directly proceeded to designate them. Electors
are to bring their voting papers ready prepared. They
are to contain the word " Yes" or " No," as an answer to
the proposition submitted to the people by the Pre-
sident of the Republic. They may be printed or written
and are to be on white paper, without exterior marks.
When his name is called, the elector is to present his voting-
paper closed, and the president is to deposit it in the baitub
box. This box is to have two locks, the key of one of which
is to be kept by the president, the other by the senior
assessor. The vote of each elector is to be recorded
tthe signature or mark of one of the ossembers of
bureau in the margin of the list. The names of
the electors who may not have voted are to be called over.
The ballot boxes are to be sealed up, and deposited during
=ialght at the Marie, and be protected by a post of the
mat or the army. The room containing tit,*
been b es be sealed *p. The counting of the votes is sbas
w be preemie& to :—The boxes are to be opened, and the
amber of votes to be verified. If this number be greatert
or less than that of the voters, the fact is to mentioned ,
in the minutes. The counting of the votes is to be ta34li
by the members of the bureau. Tho tables on which thi,
to be done are to be ranged in such a way that electors DPI
walk round them. Blank voting papers, together with thew
in which it may be impossible to recognise either adhesios
or refusal, are not to be counted, but arc to be anncla
to the minutes. Immediately after the couating of ofd
votes, the result of the ballot to bo published, en
the voting papers, with the exception of those
nexed to the minutes are to be burned in presence of

" A fact is communicated to us," says the Monifestr
rarisien," of which we could wish to doubt, because
it emanates from a spirit of unjustifiable destruction,
but which Ais not possible to dispute. The work-
men, paviours of the city of Paris, occupied in repla-
cing the paving•stones which served in the barricade,
of the Hues Saint Martin and du Temple, have been
menaced by musket shots from men of a respectable
class of society, if they continued. The Prefect of
Police has tasen measures to arrive at the discovery
of these fanatics. It is to be regretted that the pa
did not arrest them."
The despatches received this morning from the
