REVOLUTION IN PARIS,

LATEST NEWS•

Front a Third Edition of the Times.
[This is the first time, during the pint eventful week, that
we have had an opportunity of quoting a single line from
the Times ; and, be it understeod, it is the last line wo
will ever acknowledge as having set taken. The systematic
cops ing front this journi I by the hi. h-prieed, and the sup-
pression of the name of the viper, justify, and indeed
compel us, to adopt this polity in seif4efence. Each
and every one of the newspaper% must, from time to time,
anticipate its contemporaries, and the usage of the press
gives all others leave to copy the news, acknowledging the
source whence taken. TiTr is has heed the course undeviatingly
pursued by the Daily Nears and Express .ince as well as
before the combination against us; but when the high-priced
take our news verbatim, and profess to have received it by
" electric telt uraph" —when they do this without scruple, and
invariably without naming the paper, a like policy is forced
on us, and from this hour we shall adopt it.]
The letter of our Paris correspondent, dated half-
past 11 o'clock yesterday forenoon, contains the
following :
" I have never seen Paris more tranquil than it is
at this moment; nor is it in the capital only that
order reigns. You will see presently that the first
grand display of power has been made at Maisons
I.afitte, 14 or 15 miles from Paris, in repression of

outrage.
" The provisional government labours constantly,
rapidly,
hed an effectivel for the re-establishment of
order—t relief of all y suffering from the misis, and
the consolidation of the republic. Their task is I ter-
culcan, hut they pi.rform it will marvellous gnarl
will, sound sense, indefatigable industry, incorruptible
integrity, and, it must be confesses!, unshrinking
courage.
" I break off to state, that at this moment the
working classes, to the amount of thousands, are
passing up the Boulevard, unarmed end perfectly
good humoured. This demonstration is to impress
upon the government the necessity for attending
to their interest., but is superfluous. You will Lind
among the measures of government the appointment
of a committee with that special Obleet.
" hit necessary to repent that none of the foreign mi-
nisters have left Paris.
" The ministers of the Argentine Repoblic and
of the Republic of the Uruguay officially recog-
nized the new government on Monday, having re-
paired in person to the I fotel de Ville to congratulate
the members of the Provisional Government.
" Reports were yesterday circulated that the
Duke de Nlontpensier had been arrested. I have
not been able to ascertain the degree of credit due
to the rumour ; but it is of no consequence.. If he were
to fall into the power of the government, or of the
people, he would be perfectly safe. His manners were
not popular, but his goodness of heart has never for
a moment been questione le
d. I and his family, if In
the power of the people, would be treated with the
respect due to the unfortunate.
Victor Hugo had been appointed mayor of the
9th arrondissement of Paris.
" M. de Cormenin had been appointed Vice• Pres-
ident of the Council of State.
" M. Orfila hsd been superseded in his office of
doyen of the faculty of medicine of Paris.
" On Sunday a numerous band of incendiaries pro-
ceeded to Maisons Laffite, near Paris, with the
intention of burning the bridge. The national
Ilguard immediately took arras, but, not being
strong enough to oppose the banditti, they sent
for assistance to St. Germain-en-Laye. A large
detachment of national guards of that town,
accompanied by a squadron of oo
dragns, who each
carried behind him an armed citizen, immediately
proceeded to Maisons, where they arrived in time to
prevent the destruction of the bridge. They then
attacked the incendiaries, killed eight of them, and
made a considerable number prisoners.
" The incendiaries, 19 in number, who burned the
bridge of Asnieres have been arrested after an obsti-
nate resistance, in which one of them was killed.
They were conducted by the national guards of the
Batignolles to the Prefecture, and confined in the
Conciergerie.
An i of the zeal display ed by the national
guard may dea
be formed from the fact that 8d patrols
