The law courts re-opened yesterday.
Numerous arrests were effected yesterday in the
quarter of St. Martin. Among others, a representa-

guns yet loaded, were found in the houses. Almost
all belonged to the national guard. Quantities
of tin cases filled with powder have been found in

the sewers.
!Olathe, representative of the Allier, and Iluguenin,

M. Leopold Le lion is appointed chef de cabinet

The Paine gives the following account of the
death of M. Dussoubs, the representative of the
Haute Vienne, who was shot at the barricade in the
Rue Neuve St. mustache on Thursday. M. Dussoubs
was seen from an early hour recruiting adherews in
the Rues St. Denis and St. Martin. He carried a
red flag in his hand. When the troops arrived at
the barricade that he defended, M.Dussoubs marched
up to the officer in command, protested against the
violation of the constitution, and cried " Vivo la
Republique." The officer called upon him to retire.
But I am a representative of the people said M.
Dussoubs, and then waving his red flag, he cried,
with all the force of his lungs, " Vivc la Repub-
lique democmtique, down with tyrants!" at the same
time he rushed to place himself at the head of his
barricade, and immediately afterwards fell.
Authentic news from the departments are now
anxiously looked for. The government accounts
published in the 31;mitenr, and placarded on the
walls, continue to be generally favourable. There
are, however, many admissions from which it is evi-
dent that tranquillity and satisfaction is by no means
so universal in the country as the proclamations of
yesterday and the day before announced. The fol-
lowing are extracts from the Monitear this morning :
BASSE PYRENEES, BAYONNE, DEC. 3.—Some municipal
councillors were about to protest. The presence of the
gendarmerie sufficed to make them renounce their project.
Itoenst, DEC. s.—Tranquillity is maintained in the de-
partment. The decree relative to secret voting has pro-
duced universal satisfaction. The arrest of some socialists
has met with nothing but approbation from the public.
MATERNA, DEC. 4.—Tranquillity continues to reign.
The telegraphic despatches have produced an excellent
edict. The great mass of the population approves the act
of the government.
LOIRET, MONTARGIS, Dec. s.—The town is calm in spite
of the efforts of the reds. A letter from a member of the
mountain appealing to arms has been seized.
CALVADOS.—The country is generally favourable to the
grand measures of the government.
STRASBOURG, DEC. I, MIDNIOIIT.—Order reigns in the
departments. Two members of the municipal council have
tried to excite troubles: their attempts have been I:uitlesi.
Otetoxee, BORDEAUX, DEC. 4.—The state of siege in the
department has produced an excellent effect, and struck
the demagogues with a salutary terror.
HAUTES ALVES, GAP, Dye. 3, 5 o'ecoex EVENINO.—
, The principal town is agitated, but the most perfect order
reigns.
Comas TULLE, DEC. 4.—The great act of the chief of
the state is everywhere apprecated by honest people.
MONTRELIIL-SCR-MER, DEC. s.—The country is per-
fectly calm. The readii.g of the proclamation has caused
some emotion, but has produced great satisfaction upon
the immense majority of the populations. The inhabitants
attribute a greater meaning and extent to the events aecoin
lisped than really belongs to them.
Isnitz.-01tENONLE, Dee. 4.—The Red leaders try in
vain to agitate the workmen. The working classes in the
country adhere with sympathy.

The above are the principal government accounts,
from which it may be inferred that all is not so rose
coloured as might be desired. There is great same-
ness in the other accounts which represent the coun-
try as favourable to the President without qualifica-
tion. I send a few only as a specimen of the rest.
SEINE-ET-016E.—NIANTES, Dec. s.—Everybody acclaims
the President of the Republic.
CREUBII, DEC. s.—Perfect tranquillity.
Lasts:cm—Dm s.—Absolute calm.
MEUSE.—General enthusiasm.
Pas nit CALAN, Dee. s.—Calm reigns.
YONNE. DEC. 5.—A1l is calm at Tonnerre.
NAPOLEON VENDS, DEC. 4. The population shows itself
satisfied. All is calm.

COTES WOE, DEe. b.—Dijon is tranquil.
NIARTIIE,DEe. s.—The situation is excellent.
CHARENTE, DEC. 4.—The situation is most favourable.
The people applaud, and nay, " Since the Assembly wanted
to put the President in Vincennes he baa done well to steal
a march upon them."

serts (thus contradicting the statement of the eintati-
