PARIS, MONDAY, 7 rm.
Reports of an important character have circulated
te-day with regard to the hostile attitude of the po-
pulation of the fauboerge. It is supposed that the
workshops will be deserted tomorrow, and that a
spark will suffice to set Paris on lams. The Moun-
tain and their anus, with the exception of the Vots
au People, continue to protest against an appeal to
tome ; but the tail of the party is unoontrollably
fierce, and threatens to poeiard the socialist leaders
who refuse to throw themselves into the movement.
The plan of the insurrection u revealed to ministers is
this :—The insurgents of the 11th and 12th arron-
dissements are to break out at night, and to
storm all the gunsmiths' shops and depots of
arms. These having armed themselves with
what weapons they can get, and being Joined by
the main body of rebels, are then to march oa the
third, second, and first arrondissements, where the
attack is to be vigorously conducted. Fire is to be
set to the houses in these quarters. Meanwhile the
ministers have persuaded Louis Napoleon to retire to
Fontainebleau. Therefore, unless mime fresh incident
should intervene, we must be considered on the eve
of:an explosion. The government is perfectly well-
informed and wide awake. The most effectual men-'
surfs have been taken, without the least outward'
di-play of force, for the suppression of any Imesste.
An important motion was adopted to-day in the
Chamber, preposing that in future any expenditure
exceeding the credit fixed in the budget for a parti-
cular branch of administration, shall be at the mi-
cister's personal charge. Tnis was made by M.
Chauvin, and carried by 361 votes against 276.
At the end of the sitting M. Colfavru ascended the
tribune, and presented a petition, signed by the citi-
zens of Paris, against the new Electoral Bill.
The report on the electoral law will net be ready
before Thursday or Friday. Either M. Leon Faucher
or M. Placatory will be appointed reporter. The
main provisions of the bill will be kept; only some
modifications will be made in the conditions of the
majority necessary to an election. There will be only
two ballots instead of three. At the Chamber there
was much talk about the rumours which have circu-
lated at the Bowie concerning disturbances which
have broken out in the department of Saone-et-Loire.
Although a considerable fall took place at the Bourse
in consequence of these reports, they are considered as
unfounded, but mist nevertheless be reckoned among
the symptoms of dirorder which menaces society.
To-oay we received the news of the appointment of
Lord Howden, as minister plenipotentiary to Madrid,
and Mr. Otway as secretary of emb.ssy. Lord How-
beit, before proceeding to Madrid, will await in Paris
the arrival of Senor Istnritz from Madrid, on his way
to Leedom

Yestvrtlay a numerous met.' ing took plan at the
house of M. GJodchaux for drawing op a petition
against the new electoral bill. The petition lies at
the offices of the opposition journals to receive sig-
natures.

The Xitional publishes a table, showing that the'
number of persons &oersted for the personal tax is less
bv more than three and a half millions than the
citizens at present entitled to vote. It makes out the
same total of disfranchised voters at 4,800,000.
General Bedeau, who presided at the sitting of
the assembly, in which Napoleon lionaparte's mo-
tion was presented, refused either to receive it on
the bureau, or to read it to the assembly. The go-
vernment seems at one moment to tare thought
seriously of impeaching the President's cousin of
high treason.

A pamphlet by Pierre Bonaparte, taking the views
and esp 'using the interests of the tiers-parri, is an-
nounced uon the eve of appearing. Thus each of
the three great parties has its Bonaparte, excepting
that of the Burgraves, towards whom the President
is said to entertain anything but friendly feelings.
MM. Pile tti, Victor Crevat, Aubert, Bache, Dalican,
and Lemaitre, who had been coreemned by default to
two years' imprisonment and :Mfr. floe, on a charge
of having been connected with a revolutionary secret
society, called La Solidaritd Republicaine, appeared
on Friday before the Paris Court of Assize to take
their trial by a jury. They were defended by MM.
Cremieux, Michel (de Bourges), Desmarers, and Cel-
her. The trial occupied the whole of Friday and
Saturday. '!he jury returned a verdict of guilty, and
the court pronounced the following sentences :—Pd-
letti and Grevat to be imprisoned for one year, with
interdiction of civic rights for five years, and to pay
300 fr. fine each ; and Dalican, Roche, and Lemeatre
to be imprisoned for six months, with Moir. fine
each, and interdiction of civic rights for three years.

Tim Seam, of Beni., says :

After haw* cellected the most authentic information, we
believe that we may give the following as the result of the
elections of the sth of May, after taking iato account the
observation• presented by the government party :—Deputies
of the opposition,llo; deputies of the governmental party. 97;
doubtful, 12. 1f the elections of Jegenatorf, Wablen, l•oren-
tray be in favour of the opposition, as everything announces,
the opposition will probaely have a majority of s►out ten
votes. The deputies whom we clam among the doubtful are
those who were impend by both parties, or those who for
their moderate opinion.. appear likely to lean to the oppoei-
don, if it should decidedly remain in the liberal path, which
it has declared its determination to follow.

Groat agitation prevailed at Berne on the 10th, in
consequence of the conservative party having molved
to attack the liberal students. The authorities deemed
it necessary to call out the troops, whereby order was
maintained.
