THE .
REVOLUTION IN. FRANCE

DISSOLUTION OF MB ASSEMBLY.

ARREST OF IIEi'RESENTATIYES.

The following correspondence gives full particulars
of the highly important intelligence, the heads of
which were published in yesterday's Erpress :

PARIS, TrE3DAY, 3 r.x.
Last night all Paris went to bed quietly, without
dreaming of revolution. To-day the peaceable citi-
zens rise to find the streets occupied with soldiers,
and to read the pioclanmtions, posted in aU public
places, as the only clue to the enigma.
The most important of these is one decreeing as
follows:

1. The National Assembly is dissolved.
2. Universal suffrage is re-established. The law
of May 31st is abolished.
3. The French people is convoked in its electoral
colleges from the 11th to the 21st December.
4. The state of siege is decreed throughout the first
division.
.. The council of state is dissolved.

A second proclamation issued to the French people
declares that " the President's good intentions to-
wards the people" have been frustrated by the
Assembly. And having proclaimed its dissolution,
Loafs Napoleon proposes the establishment of the
following government :-
1. A chief magistrate elected for ten years by
universal suffrage.
2. A ministry depending upon the executive
alone.
3. A council of state.

4. A legislative assembly elected by universal suf-
frage without scrutiny of the electoral lists.
5. A senate.
A proclamation to the soldiers is posted up as fol-
lows :

It is stated that one of the men who arrested
General Bedesu was wounded by him, and that the
Veneral had to be bowed.
Attempts have been made on the Boulevards to get
ap some disturbance, but to all appearance they lam
failed. A man who headed a procession of about 60
or 60 young men, shouting, was arrested. There are
Ito sold►iers along the Boulevards. Every precaution
has been taken to prevent any disorder.
The Mountain is now sitting. It is said that a
manifesto will be addressed by them to the people.

" Soldiers ! Re proud of your mission. You will
save the country, for I count upon you not to violate
the laws, but to cause to be respected the first law—
the national sovereignty. The obstacles that were
placed in the way of the benefits which I
sought to achieve for the common good
have been broken down. The attempt which
the Assembly made against my authority
has been burned. The Assembly itself has
mimed to exist. As citizens vote as you please ;
but as soldiers remember the duty of obedience.
Louts BONAPARTE."
his morning, at tour o'clock, General Changar-
nier was arrested at his lodgings, where several
other representatives were assembled, who were also
arrested. They were all conveyed to Vincennes,
General Lantoricire and M. Thiess were among
these. At the moment of his arrest General Chan-
gamier harangued the troops sent to take him; but
the soldiers refused to listen to him, and his voicewas
drowned in the noise of drums. A battalion is still
posted close to his lodgings, and is employed in
making searches in the neighbourhood. General
Cavaignac is arrested, us are also the following mem-
bers of the Assemb:y Charms, Roger du Nord,
Bedeau. Baune. Greppo, ]tine, Mint, Nadaud,
and Valentin. Among these you will recognize
several names of the Mountain. The whole Board
of the Assembly is said to have been arrested.
Charms is said to have killed one of the men
who attempted to arrest him. M. Dupla has re-
turned to his former house in the Rue du Bac,
and has invited the representatives to meet there.
His hotel is occupied militarily. M. Mallac, former
rAn' de redact of M. l)uchatcl, has been arrested.
Several offices of papers have been occupied milita-
rily ; among these are the National, Opinion Pah-
.llexsayer, Repatolipie, Order, and .It,lnentent,
which papers are suspended. The director-general
of the post has been ordered to reserve to-day and
to-morrow all the places of the moles pastes for the
prefects, sub-prefects, and other functionaries who
are repairing to their vista.
The President is making, at this moment, the
round of the principal quarters of Paris.
General Itoquet, his aide-de-camp, has just rid-
den, at a walk, along the Boulevards, with two
or three orderlies. Ile is received with deafening
cheers of " Vice la lOpublique !"
All the avenues of the Legislative Palace are
beset with troops. A line of infantry extends
from the Port Royale along the Quat I)'Orsay.
The cavalry occupies the Place du la Concorde as
far as the Rend Point, the Quat Billy, and the

bridge.
The boulevards and streets generally are at this
hour, 3 p.m., crowded with people.
The President has removed from the Elysk to the
Tuileries. The entrance to the gardens is of course
inaccessible. The Carrousel is full of troops and
cannon.

Fora O'Crocr,
Groups still assemble in the boulevards. When-
ever an officer of the staff passes on horseback, they
shout out " Five la Republique."
The Rue St. Honore and the Faubourg are still
occupied by troops ; and artillery and troops are
on the Place de la Concorde, and surround the
Assembly. The Valais Royale and the Chateau
d'Eau are also occupied by troops. Pickets are at
the corners of the streets to preserve order.

portant affair was the apparent calm of the people
on reading these proclamations and witnessing the
arrangements Out had been made to ensure the suc-
cess of the enterprise. Here and there, indeed, the
proclamations were torn down or defaced, but this
was be no means general.
"The approuelits to the National Assembly and the
Elysis: were guarded at an early hour, but at the
outside of the hue of troops a considerable crowd
had collected, and many persons exclaimed, " II a
Lien fait,' but there were fewer cries than usual in
political demonstrations.
"At about eleven o'clock an attempt was made by
about forty members of the Assembly to force their
way to the Legislative Palace, but they were all
turned back. The Tuileries Gardens were closed,
and a report was current, in the course of the day,
that the President of the Republic would take up his
residence in the Palace of the Tuileries.

FIVE O'CLOCK.
A manuscript decree, purporting to emanate
from the representatives who met in the Munic.:-
pality of the 10th arrondissement, under the presi-
dency of Odilon Barret, has just appeared. By tkat
decree Louis Napoleon Bonaparte is declared ot.t-
hwed, and the High Court of Justice is convoked to
try him for high treason. The army is relieved from
its allegiance, and a General appointed to command it.
General Lauriston is said to have placed the 10th
Legion of the National Guard at the disposal of the
Assembly. Another report states that he has been
arrested.

" Several important political arrests N. ere made at
a very early lour this morning, but there are various
rumours ar to the number, and the persons who
have been arrested. The following are mentioned:
M. Dupin, the President of the National Assembly,
[ who is said to be yard.: .1 nsa : Bedcau, one or the
vice-presidents; Generals Cavaignac, Changarnier,
Lamorich:Te • and General Perrot, ex-Commander.

The Faubourg St. Antoine is perfectly tranquil.
About 100 persons are on the Place do la Bastile
discussing public affairs. A strong body of troops is
stationed at the Chateau &Eau, Portes St. Denis
and St. Martin. Whatever agitation there is is on the
Boulevards, and particularly observable amongst the
bourgeoisie.
One hundred and eighty representatives of the
Right, with Berryer at their head,have been arrested
in the mairio of the tenth arrondissement. Some of
the members of the Left, assembled at Cremieux's
house, have been arrested also.
Generals Changarnier, Cavaignac, Bedeau, Lamo-
riciere, Letlo, Colonel Charras, MM. Bozo, Thiers,
Brun, the Commissary.of Police of the Assembly,
were conducted to Vincennes, and it is understood,
will be transferred to-morrow to the fortress of Ham.
It is also reported that M. Michel (de Bourges) and
M. Odilon Barrot are under arrest, but this is doubt-
ful. The decree dissolving the Assembly, &c., is
signed, it will be observed, by M. de Monty, the new
Minister of the Interior. _

Six o'CLoCX.

Having sent off a special express with the news
up to five o'clock, I proceed to give you what fresh
details I have been able to gather since that hour of
this momentous revolution. I begin with the latest
and most important.
The DA members of the Assembly referred to were
chiefly legitimists, and had succeeded in meeting at the
Mayory of the 10th arrondissement. Soon after the
hotel was beset by troops, and the whole
IMO, with M. Berryer at their head, were arrested
just at the moment when the chief of the legitimists
was trying to harangue the people in the open
court.

Up to the present hour no armed collision has
taken place. All the shops, even those of the gold-
smiths and jewellers, remain open everywhere as far
as I have seen. I observed that arms had been re-
moved from the armourers.

M. erkmieux was arrested this afternoon.
An order was given at half-past 4 to destroy im-
mediately the salle premisnire., which M. Ledru
Rollin had caused to be erected of wood and plaster
for the " constituent," and which yesterday was
used by the Assembly. The soldiers who occupied
the legislative palace joined the workmen in exe-
cuting this order.
The President, as I informed you this morning,
true to his saying of " I march—follow me," has
shown himself without hesitation in public. At
about 10 he mounted on horseback, and rude along
from the Elyste, before the Madeleine, to the Place
Vendome and the Tuileries. This is indeed not a
very wide circuit ; but it would hare been in the
highest degree foolhardy to have exposed himself
and the destinies of the country to the acci-
dents which could not fail to cross his, path
had lie taken an extensive circuit. The
most remarkable feature in this manifestation was
the paucity of the President's escort. Ile was ac-
companied by General St. Arnaud, the minister of
war, General Magnan, the commander-in-chief of the
army in Paris, and a staff of general officers. A few
lancers followed. The President was srected every-
where with cries, in which that of " %ire la Repub-
lique' predominated. It is clear that his policy is
too new to move enthusiasm.

Marshal Execlmam, at about twelve, followed by
two aides-de-camp, rode out of the Elysce, and was re-
ceivedwiththe same cries. When the Marshal arrived
opposite the Rue de la Madeleine, a picquet of the line
debouched, bringing prisoner a representative, who
held his scarf in his hand. This incident produced a
momentary disturbance, but silence was immediately
restored. At half-past two several regiments re-en-
tered their barracks. Not a soldier has been visible'
all day on the Boulevards, except the small post I
mentioned this morning and a patrol of a few lan-
cers. The crowd on the Boulevards, especially
about the Rue Montmartre, is prodigious. In ge-
neral, the orderlies are saluted with cries of " Vire
Itcpublique."
At the Bourse the Fives closed at 89.70 with a fall
of If. 90c. The Threes fell If. 20c. and closed at
55f. 20.
Very little business was done, and people confined
themselves to the liquidation of previous engage-
ments without contracting fresh. the Fives opened
at PW.75, then rose to 90.25 to sink again to 89, and
finally closed at 89.70. There was a corresponding
depression iu the railway share market.

The following are the proclamations above referred

IN THE NAME OP THE TRENCH reoeta

Orders were, it is said, given to arrest M. 'Tiers,

" Up to the time of going to press the capital was

The following is the proclamation to the army :
PROCLAXATION OF THE PRIAIDENT OF THE REPUIILIC

.
TO TILE ANAT.
Soldiers'—Be proud of your mission—you will save the
country; fur 1 count oa you not to violate the laws, but
to cause to be repected the first law of the country—
national sovereignty, of which I am the legitimate repre-
sentative.
For a long time you have suffered, like me, by the ob-
stacles which opposed themselves both to the good: I wished
to do you, and to the demonstrations of your sympathy in
my favour. These obstacles are broken down (brisees).
The Assembly hat endeavoured to attack the authority
which I Mild from the whole nation. It has ceased to
exist.
I make an honest appeal to the people and the army,
and I say to them--Either give me the means of assuring
your prosperity, or choose another in my place.
In lao, as in 1018, you were treated as if conquered
raiiicark Aber having branded your heroic
disinterestedness, you were not considered worthy of
having your sympathies and your wishes consulted, and
yet you are the wile of the nation. To-day, in this solemn
moment, I am resolved that the army shall be heard.
Vote then freely as citizens. But us soldiers do not
forget that the passive observance of the orders of the
Chief of the government is the rigorous duty of the army,
from the general down to the soldier. It is for me, r•-
sponsible fur my actions before the pimple and before
posterity, to take the measures which seem to me indis-
pensable for the public good.
As to you, remain immovable within the rules of disci
pline and honour. Aid by your imposing attitude the coun-
try to manifest its will in calm and reflection. Be ready
to repress any attack ou the free exacise of the sovereignty
of the people.
Soldiers, I do not speak to you of the souvenirs which my
name recalls. They are engraved in your hearts. We are
united by indissoluble ties ; your history is mine. There is
between us iu the past community of glory and misfortune.
There will be in the future community of sentiments and
of resolutions for the repose and grandeur of France.

The President of the Republic, by a courageous
initiative, has just baffled the machinations of
parties, and put an cad to the agony of the
country. It is in the name of the people, fur
their interest, and fur the maintenance of the republic, that
the event has been accomplished. It is to the judgment of
the people that Louis Napoleon Bonaparte submits his con-
duct. The grandeur of the act will make you sufficiently
understand with what imposing and solemn culla the free
exercise of popular sovereignty should be manifested. To-
day, then, as yesterlay, let order be our flag ; let all good
citizens, animated like me by the love of the country,
afford me their eo•operatiun with the firmest resolution.
Inhabitants of Paris—llave confidence iu him whom six

conjecture what mighty events the next hour may
i bring forth, a Parisian will less than ever commit
I himself to any expression of an opinion. But I must
say, judging from the countenance of the readers,
i tlie hold and explicit lanmage of the President
, seems to inspire both couffirence and admiration. I
1 observed smiles of approving satisfaction in all
directions. la the Chaussee d'Antin I met a mem-
ber of the Council of State. I asked him how he
' felt after being dissolved, and what he thought was
going to happen. He said laughingly, " Oh, I sup-
pose we shall go on quietly either to the Consulate
'or the Empire." But said I, "Do you mean
' then to take it so quietly ? Where arc Clem-
' gander and the parliamentary army?" At this
' ho only shook his head. I have just seen a large
body of cavalry marching upon Paris along the high
' road from St. Denis. There is no doubt but that
troops will speedily arrive from all parts of the
country. It is now evident that the rumours of an
expected emente, so industriously circulated by the
government on t-aturday, were got up to serve as a
pretext for ordering troops to Paris.
Thus far, then, everything favours the cow) (Alai.
The President has stolen a march upon the Assem-
bly, and while they were meditating how to make
him responsible, and how to raise an army to pro-
' tea themselves, ho has sent them all about their
business. The great question now is, what will the
army do? The moment has arrived that will test
the accuracy of General Changarnier's opinion of
the army, when he said not a general,
not a colonel, not a regiment, not a scc-
' tion of a company could be found to march against
the Assembly. I venture to promise that, for the mo-
ment at least, the army will follow Louis Napoleon,
for the simple reason that no other leader is ready
to hoist a flag with any definite object. I must here
mention that I have heard that Changarnier and
several other parliamentary generals were arrested
' in the night, and are at this moment lodged in
Vincennes. I believe this to be true. It is
I not probable that the President would have
r taken the present desperately hazardous step with-
out first securing himself against the possibility of
a counter proclamation from so during a spirit, and
so bitter an enemy, as Changarnier. I ant told that
' at the soiree last night the President appeared un-
usually gay, and that these arrests were effected
immediately after the company left the Elysee, at
. two o'clock this morning. the morning papers
contain not a syllable from which the great events
of the night could be inferred. They speak of a
' rumour that General .Magnan had resigned the
unctions of Commander-in-Chief; I am prepared
to credit this, and that some other general, unre-
servealy devoted to the fortunes of the President,
has consented to share the reiponsibility of his act.
' You arc aware that General Leewestme has suc-
ceeded General Perrot in the command of the Na-
tional Guard. In concluding this hurried note, I
must call your attention to one point essen-
tial, not to be forgotten when reflecting coolly
' upon this momentous crisis in all its phases.
r By proclaiming the dissolution of the Assembly
the President has committed that specific act of high
I treason which the constitution specially describes and
• provides against. By law he is now ipve jiudo divested
• of his functions. The executive power now legally be-
longs to the Assembly. If the Assembly could devise
the means of meeting in any part of France, and were
to appoint a Minister of IV'ar, it would be the duty
of every officer in the army to obey his orders, and the
regiments that might follow Louis Napoleon
I would be mere voluntary armed bands. That
' the Assembly in its present crippled, divided,
and disereditid state, should attempt any assertion of
• their constitutional rights and duties against the pre-
, sent usurpation is in the highest degree MI- 1
probable. But if it dues not France lies
prostrate at the feet of an unscrupulous die- I
tator. The appeal to the people is evidently a
. farce. Without a free press, without freedom of
speech, without electoral meetings, with the terrors
• of martial law in Paris and numerous departments,
! and with prison doors yawning to receive every man
of independent spirit, it is obvious that no serious
, opposition to the President's will can be organised in
t the course of the next fortnight.

THIS DAY'S
NEWS FROM FRANCE.
A CONSULTATIVE COMMISSION.
B 1 SUBMARINE TELEGRAPH.

PARIS, WIDNESDAT MOUSING.

A Consultative Commission of 80 notable men
is formed. The Ministry is not yet definitively con-
stituted.

The following items are of Bach interest as to be
well deserving of a place here. Our correspondent
in his letter of yesterday, says
Perhaps at budi a moment a few details as to the
outward appearance of Paris, that fall within the
scope of one's own observation, may. not be unin-
teresting. I was no sooner up, at eight, this morn-
ing,. than our concierge told me the Place de la Con-
corde was full of troops. I proceeded immediately'
along the Boulevards to the Madeleine. Very few
people were in the streets at that hour. The first
thing which struck me was that the telegraphic wire
which passes along the Boulevards communicating
with the ministries and forts and the railways was
cut. I saw a small post before the Ministry of
Foreign Affairs. If any people appeared on the bal-
conies, they were instantly warned back by sentries
posted at the corners of the streets. When ['reached
the front of the Miuleleine, I found the Rue Royale
regularly occupied with troops. I observed a strong
post before No. 3, Rue du Faubourg do St. Hohore,
Changarnier's lodging. The rumour was that he was
now lodged at Vincennes. The Rue de Faubourg
St. Ifonori, was lined with troops as far as the
ElysZe. I passed without obstruction as far as the
Place de la Concorde, which was wholly occupied
by troops, with their arms piled, and with several
cannon in the centre near the Obelisk.

GER lIANY.

A'regiment of Lancers was drawn up along the
quay: towards Plumy. No carriages were allowed to
cross the bridge opposite the Assembly, but I was
allowed to cross on foot. The steps and garden of
the legislative palace were occupied by the
republican guard in their yellow cross-belts.
fhe Place de Bourgoyne, opposite the back en-
trance of the Assembly, was occupied by troops with
cannon. Opposite the Ministry of War I first
fell in with the four proclamations, which I
send herewith by express. Scarcely a soul had
yet looked at t'hem; they had just been posted.
Having copied their tenour, I proceeded to the
Telegraphic Office, at the Ministry of the Interior.
I The despatch was refused. Orders had been re-
ceived to let none pass. But having learned
that others who came after me had been
authorised by the Minister of the Interior
to send the news, I returned, and succeeded
°in procuring the same leave. Quicker than I can
describe the proclamations were posted up all over
Paris ; and in two or three hours the streets were
crowded with people.

THE NEW AUSTRIAN TARIFF.

yIENNA, Nov. 26.

Another correspondent writes nt 12 o'clock yes-
terday, as follows:

The Austrian tariff, the principal provisions of
which were contained in the potent forwarded yes-
terday, has at length appeared, in the form of a

against the admission and exportation of various
goods into or front the Austrian territories are

second-class, containing materials which are liable to
c higher duty than the foregoing, pays 59 florins. The
third, consisting of furniture made up of silk and
feather beds of the same material, or of the finest
wool or cotton, pays 100 florins per cwt. The fol-
lowing are the rates per Customs' cwt. of some of
the more important articles of commerce ;—tea, 15

ments, 15 florins. During the first year the import
duty on raw cotton will be 1 florin per cwt., and on
cotton yarn 8 florins. This gradual reduction is in-
tended to protect those speculators from sudden and
serious loss who possess large stores of cotton. The
!former duty of 1.40 florins per cwt. produced an an-
nual average return of 700,000 florins to the revenue.
The tariff will take effect throughout the empire,
with the exception of Dalmatia, N (mice, and Trieste,
and the town of Brady, in Gallicia, on the Ist of
February next.

PARIS, TUESDAY.
tip to a quirter to 12 (the moment at which I
write), the most profound tranquillity prevails in
Paris. I have passed along the Boulevards from the
Maclaine to the Boulevard Bonne Nouvelle, I have
been to the Bourse, the Post-office in the Rue Jean
Jaques Rousseau, I have visited the populous quarters
of the Rue St. Honore', and the Faubourg Poisson-
nire, as well as the quiet Rue St. Lazare, and the
Quartier Tivoli, andsaw nothing more or less than the
usual aspect of Paris. If anything, there were fewer
Serpens de Ville" than usual, and I saw no sol-
diers whatsoever. They are doubtless concentrated
about the Assembly, in order, by an imposing mani-
festation of force, to render any attempt of the As-
sembly to disobey the President's proclamation out
of the question, proclainutions are placarded in
all p.rts of Paris, in such abundance that no crowds
arc collected to read them in any one place. The
little groups of attentive readers might be supposed
to be reading an ordinary proclamation of the Prefect
of Police on the result of Sunday's election. 1 heard
no observation from anyone. It is never safe to
talk politics in Paris, and now, when no man can

J. Quinton, Esq., in the chair. The secretary read the re-

THE CAB NUISANCE AT NOTTING!' tlf.—Great

astonishment pervaded the different districts of the town
on Monday morning, in co..sequence of the non-appear-
ance of the cabs at the usual tune. Upon inquiry we
learned that a resolution was cense to at a late meeting of
the town council to lessen the rate of charge from Is.
to 9d. per rude. This the cahmen petitioned against, and
rewired to vacate their stands until the old prices were
paid. A number of cshs were sent the same morning on to
the stands by an extensive owner, but the drivers were
greeted with such hearty groans and hisses, that they were
obliged to make a retreat.
