NEWS FROM PARIS.

APPREHENDED DISTURBANCES.

PARIS, SUNDAY. 10.30 a.e.
The alarm which I mentioned in my dispatch of
last night as hav:eg been produced by the eudden
concentration of a large military force round the
palace of the assembly had ecarcrly subsided when
the inhabitants were again thrown into • state of
the utmost excitement by the rappel, which a little
before 8 o'clock was beaten iu all the chief thorough-
fares. The national guards immediately assembled in
all their usual places of rendezvous, and the shore were
generally closed. At ten o'clock I drove round the
chief centres of the movement ; the west side of the
Place Vendome, in front of the Ministry of Justice
and the• Etat Major, was completely filled with na-
tional guards, and all circulation was stopped by sen-
tinels posted between the column and the corners of
the square. In the Place de Ia Concorde, tee Place
de Ia Bourse, and the Boulevards, crowds
were collected, composed of those who de-
manded and those who communicated inform-
ation. The court of the Grand Opera, in the
Rue Grange Bateliere, was completely filled with na-
tional guards, and the circulation through that street
impeded.
Staff officers, accompanied by dragoons, generals,
and supi rior officers, followed by aides-de-camp and
detachments of cavalry, were seen galloping in various
directions to the different poets.
The cause of all this movement appeared to be a
mystery—various rumours were afloat. The carriers
nationaux, above 100,000 of whom are engaged in the
capital and its neighbourhood, were, it was said, in
revolt, and menaced to set fire to Paris. It was also
repotted that M. Emile Thomas was arrested, but
whether by the government or by the carriers no
one could tell.
However, notwithstanding these formidable symp-
toms of disorder, Paris continued tranquil, and soon
after midnight the legions of the national guards were
dismissed to their homes.
Even at the time I write this, a mystery continues
to hang over these proceedings. What appears cer-
tain is, that M. Emile Thomas, on Friday night, was
Budder ly sent for by the Minister of Public Works.
Having arrived at the ministry it appears that he
was detained there, and early yesterday morning left
the c Tito] for Bordeaux. Ile is removed from his
office of Director of the Ateliers Nationals:, and his
functions are trar,sferred to two civil engineers, MM.
Flashat and Polonceau, who, under the Chief Secre-
tary of the Ministry of Public Works, are charged
with that service.
I) ff, rent reporter are circulated respecting this pro-
ceeding in relation to M. Emile Thomas. According
to one report generally circulated in the journals he
was art( sted and sent, in the custody of two agents of
the police, to Bordeaux. According to another he
was sent there on a sudden and important mission by
the government. According to another he was obliged
to go t: ere on private business. All that is certain
is, that he has disapp.•ared since Friday night. On
his disapptarance yesterday the °riveters nutionaux
made manifestations of revolt, which led to the mili-
tary precautions of last night.
A fact mentioned in V Assemblee Nationale of this
morning would indicate that M. Emile Thomas was
under personal restraint. That journal says:
Y. St. Hay M. Emile Thomas was summoned to appear
before tie roiniaer, when the chief of the Ateliers
Nation at" found thra he was no longer at liberty. Ifs
Ism., in haste some hots in p: acid on the back of his *ate-
coodui and threw it out of the window. It was hastily
pickill up, as b. ing supposed to be a docum' nt of importance.
It w 5 only a few words addressed to his mother to allay
bee anon ty. It contained a request to whoever might find
it to convey it to her.
A nit cling of about 300 members of the assembly
was tread last night at the Palais Royal, at which a
ii.emher proposed that the meeting declare itself in
perman, nee in consequence of the events of the even-
ing. 'the executive government sent a communica-
tion to the meeting to the effect that M. Emile
Thomas had not been arrested as was reported, but
bad accepted a mission to Bordeaux, and had already
departed for that city.
It appears that in consequence of the sudden re-
moval of their director, and the report that he was
arrested and sent to prison, • great agitation and
manifestation of disorder took place among the
operatives. About three o'clock in the afternoon of
yesterday, M. Trelat, Minister of Public Works,
went to Monceaux, in the western suburbs of Paris,
where they were chiefly collected, to endeavour to
restore order. The minister was seized by them, and
detained for some time as a hostage, and only liberated
when they were assured M. Emile Thomas was not a
prisoner. It was at that moment that the govern-
ment caused the palace of the assembly to be invested
by a military force.
A proc.antation was posted through Paris at a late
hour last night, from the Minister of Public Works,
declaring that the ateliers nationaar were about to
be organised on other bases, and explaining the
abases which have led to their temporary dimohitiom

PARIS, Strerisr, ei
The agitation of last evening has been reproduced
to-day. Although the morning (as I stated) was tran-
quil, the reports which soon began to circulate re-
vived the excitement. It appears that during the
night the report of the " enlvement" of Emile Thomas
produced great agitation in the quarter around the
Rue St. Martin.
Soon alter midnight a physician, known for his
devotion to Blanqui, and who was in the Rue Mon-
tholon, at the moment of his capture, was arrested in
the Rue des Vinaigriers.
Reports circulate today of three Communist ban-
quets to be held this afternoon, at different barriers.
the troops of the line, the National Guard, and the
Guard Mobile, have been out in considerable force
during the afternoon ; supplies of ammunition have
been brought to the different posts, but not as yet dis-
tributed.
A mystery still hangs over the affair of Emile
Thomas. On his road, i: appears, he managed to
write a letter in pencil, which he throw from the
window of the carriage on the footway. This letter,
which was addressed to his mother, and of which 1
nave obtained a copy, was as follows :
Chartres, May 27.
My dear Mother,—l write to you, as I promised, from
Chartres. This is the history of the affair Win a I ar-
rived at the minister's he required me to give hint my re-
signation immediately, and told me I was to be sent on •
mission to Bordeaux and Bayonne; be gave me no explana-
tion, and heliad me to bid you adieu, or even to have the
hotel. All this with much politeneu and appearance of
friendship. I wrote my resignation and copied it. One copy I
sent to Pr:rre. I wrote a letter to you, and one to Fontaine.
M. Boulange no doubt delivered these three letters yes-
terday evening ;at least he promised me to do so. A pass-
port was given me, and I immediately mounted a carriage at
half•pest tea, with two officers of pAce, who were very
polite to me, and heel no other instructions than to certify to
government that I arrive at Bordeaux. I have letters
for the Protect of tee Gironde and of Linde*, and I
a mission, very honourable, denoting, but which I
is only evidently a pretext. The reed =dive I
believe to be this have as you know, declared thatif any
merum were taken that 1 thought imprudent for the imbue
tranquillity, I would retire, to avoid any rearnsibility ; but
that I would bring the affair before the National Assembly.
I know that my Liberty has been violated without rational
cause ; but I have obeyed, because, before all things, 1 tei,h
ne a good citizen, and not to become • firebrand.
(Signed) B. Thomas.
Placards have been posted throughout Paris this
morning calling on the ouvriers of the National
Ateliers to sign the following petition :
Citizen Repreeentatives, members of the Executive Com-
miasion,—ln the name of all the carriers of the National
Ateliers, we protest ageinst an illegal act contrary
to the principles of the true republic. The citizen
Soule Thomas, oottualteery of the republic, and inves-
tor of the " Ateliers Nationaux," whom we regard as
our father, has been taken tansy clandestinely by order
of the minister of public works. Not one hour has
been allowed him to bid adieu to his family. We pray yea
citizens that we may be immediately informed what are the
fact. which have induced this act of violence. We do not
believe that a republican government will impede upon us a
director not elected by us. As • matter of course, if
the citizen Emile Thomas ha. not forfeited his'
trituetion by improper conduct, we pray you by common
consent to restore him as our chief. The sacred
right of election which we conquered on the barricades
of February lead us to hope that you will always respect it.
We pray that our petition may be read to the National As-
sembly, and we doubt not it will be favourably received.
The irregular appointment of some of the satellites
of MM. Ledru Rollin and Caussidiere to the posts
of officers in the cavalry of the Garde Mobile, and
which was inserted in the Moniteur, is revoked, or
rather declared null. The Moniteur of to-day says :
It is by mistake, of which the causes will be explained,
that a decree containing the ncmination of officers of the
cavalry of the Garde Mobile has appeared in the Moniteur.
This decree has been published without the authority or
knowledge of citisee Carteret, Under Secretary of State,
whose signature was put to it by mistake. This decree
must be considered as void. A project of organization of
three squadrons of the Garde Mobile will•be immediately
presented to the Assembly.
M. Thiers has accepted the candidateship for the
Seine, the Seine Inferieure, the Boucher de Rhone,
and Algeria, all of which have been simultaneously
offered to him.
M. Caussidiere, ex-Prefect of Police, has published
an address to the electors of the Seine, offering him-
self for re-election.
A letter from Vienna of May 22, says, that the
cholera had broken out on the shores of the Danube.
At Galata twenty-three persons had been attacked
by it.
M. Salamanca has succeeded in escaping from
Spain. Ile arrived at Bayonne on the 21st.

ITALY.
The following fact will show how greed is the
enthusiasm for the Italian cause : 100 Sardinian
bandits have applied to the government at Turin,
soliciting permission to fight in Lombardy under
Charles Albert, dfering to take with them 300 dogs
of a large and most ferocious breed, and carry on a
sort of guerilla warfare.
