STREET MANIFESTATION AND ARRESTS.
(nom ova OWN CONEBBPONDINT.)
PARTS, MONDAY Erverso.

There has been a street manifestation of dis-
satisfaction to-day on the part of certain operatives
out of work, full particulars of which have not yet
reached me. A traveller who arrived at 4 o'clock
from Belgium at the Northern Railway station told
me there was an extraordinary movement in the
Boulevard Poissonniere, and that he had great
difficulty in crossing it. This evening's Figaro
says :

A rumour was current in Paris yesterday that there would
be • demonstr►tion on the part of the working classes at 2

o'clock this afternoon. Inasmuch as our journal appears too
late to exercise any influence on the incident, we think we
may without danger dismiss the reserve of the morning
papers. We are informed that a special ministerial
council was held yesterday on account of this intended
meeting, that it was resolved to take measures to prevent
it, and that this morning General Cenrobert, commanding
the army of Paris, called at the Ministry of the Interior
to mention the precautions he had taken.

The France mentions the agitation, and says it
occurred in the quarters of the Porte St. Martin
and the Ecole des Arta et Metiers. Several factory
owners who are in dispute with the city of Paris
about the octroi duties, and whose case
has been warmly taken up by M. Michel
Chevalier, senator, have closed their esta-
blishment.. Their discharged workmen ro-
solved upon a "got no work to do" promenade
to-day. The France says the movement was of
" no sort of consequence," but at the same time
admits that it led to "a certain number of arrests."
There were cries among the crowd of "No inter-
vention."

The arrests of persons who went to Manin's tomb
II on the jour des mores, stated by the Siick to be ten
in number, were considerably more numerous.
Letters written to the opposition /gem affirm that
these arrests were quite arbitrary, and effected at
random among people who were doing nothing
more than hundreds of others. A rommuniqq,
however, denies en bloc all the statements made by
the journals, and maintains that the coming trials
will entirely justify the policy. One of the persons
arrested, and who happens to be a rich man,
announces that he will spend his last farthing, if
necessary, in getting the best legal assistance, and
carrying the case to the Court of Caseation.
It is stated by all the government evening papers
that on this day the French and Pontifical troops
jointly were to make a sortie from Rome, to dis-
lodge Garibaldi from Monte Rotondo. Two rea-
sons are suggested why the French Emperor has
departed from his original intention to let the
Papal Legion alone try its hand upon Garibaldi in
the first instance. The first is that the French
soldiers now in Rome would have felt humili-
ated by inaction, and would have felt that
the prestige of the expedition was damaged.
That argument would have been as good at the
first as now, and therefore must go for nothing.
Tha next, which can hardly either be considered
an after thought, is that the Pontifical soldiers
after having routed the Garibaldians would have
been carried away by their ardour to attack Victor
Emmanuel's army, cantoned behind them, and so
have involved France in a war with Italy, which it
wishes to avoid. A third reason (not avowed)
occurs to me, namely, that the Pope's soldiers alone
would have got the worst of it with Garibaldi.
The France mentions a rumour that the French,
commanded by General Dumont, and the Papal
Legion together, have this day beaten the Garibal-
dians.

The Ltberti hears from its London correspondent,
who professes to speak from • certain source, that
the Grand Duchy of Baden will be admitted into
the Northern Confederation as soon as a few pre-
liminary and indispensable conditions shall have
been settled. This news, if true, is a most
serious subject of reflection for France, whose
present attitude towards Italy has enabled M. de
Bismarck to obtain from the Wurtemburg and
Bavarian parliaments votes, almost despaired of,
adhering to the treaties demanded by Prussia.
The Bourse did not at all like the Marquis de
Moustier's despatch. Bente opened 60c. lower
than Saturday, and, after a alight recovery, closed
at 67fr. 40c. for cash, and 67fr. 45c. for account,
with a fall of 40c. and 12ic. Italian fell 66c. ;
Mobilier, 16fr. ; and Credit Foncier, 10fr.
