PAM.M. TOM!DAY, 11 30 A.M.
The capital this m rning, as it h,:a done since eigh
o'clock last night, at which hour the troops were
withdrawn to their quarters, exhibits all the external
sitas of pi rtect tranquillity. It might be ix-
pectel that surrounded with nil conceivable means
of information, 1 mi ht he able to inform
you tie cause of 3 est•rda,'s afftir ; I have found,
however, no int ans of doing so. No one can explain
why the rappel was Ix toen at a moment v. hen there
'were no discoverable signs or e,,tettle, no atteove-
mento, or other visiole cause of alarm.
Here is, in short, but one into explanation,
and it is One which is unive.sally accepted—it is this,
the qoestion of a vote of confidence was to be debated
in the assembly, and 73,000 c a motile were to be
demanded to de'ray the expenses if what is called
here its high police, or secret service. It wss de-seed
to swell the in-.jority by which this grant,
implying also a vote or confide nee, would bo given. In
the n.ld4. of professed tranquillity and pert( et order,
therefore, to the utmost amazement of the tolmoitan's,
the rappel was beaten, national guards rushed to
arms, and troops of every area b. an to surround the
assembly. Chimps of curious spectators, attracted' y
these movements, began of course to collect,
and in the coarse of an hour the en-
virons of the assembly, the scene of this military
display were 'venom& ;I by crowds. These crowds,
however, were v ry el;fferent in their comliosition
from the alerostiomente or the Porte St Laois. Thwy
were composed chi. fie of the inhabitan's of the quar-
ter the most respectable in Pars, and three wets not.
one I
in ten exhibited a blmise. Ineliviluals, how; eel.,
here and there uttered e'iew, some in favour of Loa's
Napoleon, who was expect. dto present himself thee
anembly; ot hers agai oat Clement 1 hoint. , cow:Linder •
of the rdtional guard, who has render. d himself ob-
noxious by dispataging the legion or honour : some
shouted .• Vise Barbes r and some " Vivo la Repuh-;
lique r but none of these exclamations excited any
common sentiment or accord, and it was apparent
that tine-tenths of the assemblage were mere speeta
tors attracted by curiosity, and a desire to know the
cause of the xtraordinary measures which had been
taken—a cause which no of e could explain.
It was in the course of the proceedings that three
shots were fired, by whom does not appear, two of
these took eft.; et, having wounded two officers, one of
the national guard and the other of the line.
These measures outside took place exactly at
the moment that the debate on the question of con-
fidence in the government, and the grant for seer. t
service was piing on in the c hamber. In the mid• t
of a speech of M. de Lamartine, that orator, pale
with horror, announced to the assembly that two offi-
cers had been wounded, that the capital sees in
emeute, and that the cry of " Vine CEmpereur I" had
been raised. He announced also that the executive
had issued a declaration that the law of proscription
of 1832 would be enforced against Prince Louis Na-
poleon until such time as the assembly could decide
to the oontnry.
The funds demanded were granted, and the vote of
=Wince given by a large majority,— 669 to 112.

The assembly then' adjourned, the troops retired
to their quarters, and in an hour Paris was as quiet
as it had been when the rappel was beawn.
It is announced that among the individuals arrested
on Saturday night at the Porte St. Denis, were :Ivo
attaches of the English Embassy, and an English
female in the male costume.

A letter has been addressed to Galignani's paper,
by an English gentleman, who was taken at the same
time, and incarcerated at the Prefecture of Police.
Ile says he we) arrested with others while quietly
sitting in a restaurant, having been first told that if
they left peaceably they would be conducted is safety
beyond the crowd.
Last night the Prefect of Police sent information to
M. Tillers that a project was discovered, having for its
object an attack upon his hewn in the course of the
night. In consequence of this, the garden which
surrounds it was occupied by a company of the na-
tional guard, and 1,000 men were kept under arms at
the Mamie during the night, ready to be called out at
a moment's notice. A numerous assembly of ex•
deputies and representatives took place there, which
did not 'meek up until midnight.
Although it be true that the demonstration of yes-
terday took place without any adequate cause yet
known, a serious agitation prevails in the capital, and
the state of opinion has been greatly modified eine°
February. The banlieue, where) lately democracy
was predominant, is now remarked for the prevailing
spirit of Buonapartiem.
The army it is generally believed would be readily
excited by the prestige of the Emperor's name ; they
are, moicover, stung with the ignominy and
brium cast upon them after the days of Fehruoi•y by
the l'rovisiJnal Government ; and the cry of " Vice
L'Empereur !" and " Vice Napoleon!" has already
issued from the ranks of more than one regime:it.
The commander of the national guard, by dispa•
raging the Legion of Honour, has insulted the army,
and even a large portion of the rational gaud used.
It may therefore be easily conceived that serious
anxiety he felt, and I have even heard it affirmed this
morning, by a' ember ofthe assembly, that it fe not
impossible that the capital may be barricaded before
the sell rises again.
M. Thieve has been already elected in flee depart-
. menu: the Seine, the Seine Inferieure, the Giroude,
Nla)enne, and the Orne. The result of the el etion
for Algeria, where he is a candid de, is not kuuwh.
The following appears in a journal, La Repub-
. lique, this evening:
"11 o'clock at night.—We learn this instant that
• numerous asse•mblagee have take n place this evening
in the Place Veedome and the Place du la Concorde;
that cries of ' Vice l'Empereur !' have been uttered,
but received no echo from the people assembled ; and
twit several charges of cavalry have been made. We
are assured that the troops of the line and the nu-
: tional guard have crossed their bayonets, and that
some cnizens have been seriously wounded."

We have received wan Lite despatch of our Paris
correspondent a letter from Boulogne rating that a
great deal or excitement had arisen there ester day
in consequence of a sudden order trom the SOus-Pri let
prohibitu, a eca excursion, to join in with+, a t,rge

against the S .us.P,efet, r.gurding whose oid.r

LATEST FROM PARIS.

APPREHENDED DISTURBANCES.
NIILICARY PREPARATIONS.

PARIS, TVEADAY, 030 p.m.
From noon to-day the same military display as
yestereay took place around the Cnamber ; the same
force of troops was called out, being, however,
considereblt smaller portion of the National Guard,
and a proportionally greater number of the line and
Guard Mobile. At halt pest one o'clock the enrolees
of the Tuileries, in which a great number of blouses
had assembled, were cleared, and the gates closed,
the terraces being occupied by the troops.
Tle extensive area of the Place de la Con-
corde had been lined with large bo .ies of infantry
and cavalry during the day, but, the circulation not
heir g interrupted, the people assembled in groups on
and around the place. The ltue Royale was also
then much crowded.
At 3 o'clock the area of the Place de la Concorde
was cleared, and charges of cavalry swept the le &ding
streets, and especially the Rue Royale. Bodies of
infantry were drawn up at a still greater distance,
and the entire portion of Paris within a radius ot halt-
a-mile round the Chamber is now inclosed in a sort
of cordwi midilaire. Notwithstanding all this for-
midable display, I have not been little to discover any
trace of the slightest attempt at gmente, or any resis-
tance to the authorities. Otd•-rlies are, however,
seen moving in every direction about the town, and
ammunition- ws.emons are passing from time to time
along the Bout. yards.
Within the Ptlais Bourbon there is lass display of
soldiers than usual ; the courts and gardens, however,
are completely filled I went to the Assembly at three
o'clock ; the question of the election of Prince Louis
Napole n was then under debate; the attendance of
m mbere was not as numerour as it has been on
other questions of equal public interest, and the
galleri s were much Buttner than usual. This circum-
stance is ascribed to the alum which has been ex-
cited, and to the vague apprehensions of another re-
volution. The streets round this neighbourhood are
more than usually remaikahle for the. absence of fe-
males of every class ; the shops are generally closed,
and anxiety and alarm are depicted in every visage.
I was t.. 13 in the Chemist r to-day, that a rapproche-
ment had taken plat•e,yesterday, between the members
of the Executive Commis-ion hitherto opposed to each
other, anti that MM. Lamartine and Letlru-Itain
had cceneover to the oth. r members. However this may
be, i, ass remarkabl • to-day that the five menart, sof
the Executive Commis int appeared, for the tit at time,
together in the Assembly, occupying the sumo besch,
sid •by side. M Le•dru-Itolliti has never before en-
tr red the Asaerobly since the Executive Commis,ion
was constituted.
When M. Lamartine delivered, "ore rotund's," as is
his custom, yeaterday, the pompous image by which
he nitre sewed h meet!' as a political " paratortnerre,"
remitting innocuous the lightning of anarchy menaced
by Bathes, Blanqtri, amid the others, a memieer asked
impertinently waure was the " paratonnerte" on the
15th of May.
One of the journals to-day deelares that the vote of
the Assembly }este rday was not, as the Executive
Government desired, a vote "de co:silence," but a
vote " de circonstance."
M. ThierA yesterday voted with the majority of the
Assembly in favour of the government.
It is sail that the committee ore the constitution lean
resolved that not only shall the president and all the
p.m scntative a he .Iccted by universal suffrage, but
also the judges di Nix, the I Afi-ers and commuidauts
of the Nietiottel Guard, the ma} or., deputy-mayors,
and touta.::pal councillors, and All the monh. rs of the
c griieraux of the d,partmmis. The organi-
ruvion of judicial powers occupied the committee ;
miring several sittings. It propees that the As-
sembly shall nominate the members of the Court
or cessation, the Cour des Comptes, and a Tri-
bunal des C .ntentieux, and that the judges shall
only be &amassed in virtue of a judgment.
It is said, that the jury is to be employed
in civil affairs, and even in correctional affairs in
certain proportions ; and it is added, that a national
jury is to be created for the trial of political crimes
and offences against the barely of the republic.
It is, however, probable that the definitive or-
ganisation of justice will be left to the law,
which will, hereafter, have to regulate the insti-
tu ion of tribunal+. The Council of State, which is
to have political powers, is to consist, it is said, of
from 60 to iti
60 members, and to be a sort of com-
mittee elected by the Assembly, and frequently re-
newed. The Committee propose!, it is said, to de-
velope the ye incipient laid down in the Declaration
des Droiis de i'liomme," and to lay down =-
portliest m—eue. a on the liberty of teaching,
the libel., of w..rship, and the organisation of
labour. M d. Cermet in, President of the Com-
mittee, was from the first designated by his
oolleagues as reporter; bat he declined, and in vim-
-1;: his recommendation, M. Marriott was,
ally been state d, unanimously nominated.
