LATEST FROM PARIS.

PARIS, WZDNMODLY, 630 P.M.
The following appears in the Monitewr of this
morning :
It Is not the fact, as announoed by one of the journals, ,I
that in the night of the 20th a part of the garrison of Paris
was called nut upon a false alarm. There was no alert., and
only the patrols went their rounds as usual, to watch over '
the security of the public. Another journal has announced,
with expressions of a doubt, it is true, that there
were some assemblages on Monday in the Quartier Saint-
Marceau. his uniortunate that, being the hour at which it
was vino to press, the journal in qua stion bad not time to
verify the report. It would then have ascertained its inac-
curacy, and spared itself the pain of the retractation which
it will not bkil to make. We cannot too often -epeat that it
is by such news that an agitation as injurious to the pub is
peace is kept up, and which can only promote the objects of
the factions of all !lades. _

On this I have to observe, that the reports referred
to by the Moniteur have had but an insignificant
effect, compared with the farts which have passed
under the eyes of the public on the days of Saturday
end Monday. On the former afternoon the Assem-
bly wee invested with troops of every arm, in
the same manner as on the 23rd of June, and
on the latter day large bodies were posted and kept
under arms for several hours at the Porte St. Denis,
the Porte St. Martin, the Bastille, the Palais Royal,
and, in short, at all the '
e point. whess it has been ens-,
tomary for insurrection to manifest itself.
Within the last few days a great number of work-'
men have been sent to Belle Isle-en-Mer, to make
the necessary constructions for receiving the 3,000
insurgents who are to be transported there. The
wall of the place in which they are to be confined will
be 1,300 metres in extent, and 4 metres high.
The Courrier de Lyon, of the 22nd, states that, in
consequence of the monstrous illegalities with which
the municipal elections of the Croix Rouses were
attended, the superior authorities have annulled them.
The 3rd volume of the documents and evidence of
Insurrcfction Committee has not yet been distributed,
but wi,l be, it is said, this evening. It is devoted al-
most exclusively to evidence derived from the pro-
vinces. It includes telegraphic despatches and
various reports of the prefects, procureurs, and other
departmental °Metre and functionaries.
The documents relative to Lyons, Toulouse, Mar-
seilles, and the western departments present some in-
terest. The events which took place at Marseilles on
the 22nd of June indicate a certain correspondence
with Paris. The following document offers some
interest :
M. Ricard, examined by the committee on the 22nd July,
says: At the moment of the invasien of the hall of the
Assembly, on 15th May, I saw Louis Blanc, Albert, and
Barbel rise and encourage the enseute by signs and smiles.
On the Place de Bourgogne I saw Madame Georges Sand at
the window of a cafe. Near the gate I saw General Cour-
tais and General Tempoure, whose attitude appeared suspi-
cions. When Huber declared ,he dissolution of the Assembly,
I opposed him, but the mob ill-treated me. I said to the
representatives " Do not stir ; it is here you must watch over
the safety of the country." I brought forty Gerdes Mobile
into the Chamber, and made them chars. their arms. A
short time afterwards the Commandant Clary entered with
his battalion, and cleared the Chamber. I was near M. La-
=nine, and asked him if he were sure of Ledru Rollin. I
went immediately to fetch the latter, and brought
him to M. Lamartine, who said to him, Do
we still go together 1 " " Yes, yes " replied
Ledru Rollin ; you do not know what trials I have had to
encounter." On 23rd June I saw the flogs of the &tell, rs
nationaux en the barricades. I accompanied M. Ltmartime
in the evening to the barricades. I read, afterwards, the
proclamations on the barricades, and the insurgents made
me prisoner. The insurgents said to me," We have Cans-
eidiere with us; be is at the Hotel deVille,with eight pieces of
cannon." During the night, some of the well.dispcsed came
and thanked me for undeceiving the insurgents as to the real
state of affairs. Two hours afterwards I was released.
Various reports are circulated to-day respecting the
debate which is to commence on Friday. Some
maintain that the matter will be cut very short, will be
finished in a single day, and that no judicial pro-
oeedings will be taken against Louis Blanc and Cans-
@idler.. It i. said that the projects which have pro-
duced sn much agitation in Paris the last few days,
and which have called forth the extraordinary
military demonstrations that I have already mentioned,
consisted of an intended manifestation, by the National
Guards and the people, to demand a monarchical go-
vernment. The Orleanist party are said to have no
connexion with this.
The project of the Mi&ster of Finance on the Greek
loan has been examined and approved in the bureaux
to-day.
The project of the constitution will be brought for-
' ward immediately after the debate on the insur-
rection.

To-day the National Aaseni,ly, acting on the report
of the committee of inquiry, annulled the election of
M. Laisime, representative of the department of the
Herault. _
