PARIS, TUESDAY.
Before I resume my narrative of the state of this city
last night, after I despatched my express to you, I wish to
apprize you that the information which I have just re-
. ceiverl of the state of the cif ital this day is calculated to
awaken the utmost alarm. Business is at a stand ; credit
is annihilated ; the functionaries are without money ; the
Government without moral strength. The people whom
you meet speak with distrust and suspicion, and now, for
- the last time, I hear, with horror and dismay, that the
mass of the working classes— the men whom you hear
were, in their. justly glorious days of July, so nobly in.
spited with the principles of honour, glory, and law—
*sort now be permitted to assassinate prisoners while on
their trial, or, a: least, when a mitigated verdict shall hare
been pronounced. This frightful stain upon civilization
is this day talked of as floating upon the tide of events,
and its contemplation hardly seems to raise a hluil among
classes who boast of their spirit and generosity. I give
you these opinions as I hear them, and wish, by stating
them at once, to separate them from the narrative of facts
which have la.t night and this day passed under my own
direct observation.

I concluded my letter of yesterday by stating that when
Kbad left the Palace of the Luxembourg crowds of people
were collectieg, and the National Guards everywhere
moving to arms. Upon my return at six o'clock to the
same neighbourhood, where I iioralned until past eleven
o'clock, I found the National Guards advancing in mass
• from the elevated ground in front of the Luxembourg, and
Pressing the people downwards towards the quays. This
movement was executed in the best temper by the National
Guards, and I was particularly struck with the coolness
and suavity of the officers, who everywhere said, " Do, my
friends, have the complaisance to retire." They were
decried by the people, and the order obeyed with irritation,
the people as they receded constantly conversing with the
troops, and complaining that their glorious revolution was
compromised, and that they knew the Guards would join
them in enforeing justice. The troops always said " Yes,"
but inflexibly, yet moderately, cleared the streets half-way
down all the streets which lead from the Court of Peers.
As the night advanced, about eight o'clock I thought I
observed a great change both in the character and temper
.of this crowd; it had at that time received an immense
accession' of strength from the Fauxbourg St. Antoine, and
I think all the workmen in Paris must have concentrated
their strength in the quarter of the Luxembourg. Still in
every quarter the National Guards gently bore upon them ;
the cry of the people then became general. " Citizen
soldiery, take off your bayonets, you are ourselves,—we
will act together." The r fficete r• plied, " Yes, we are all
the public—rye are your fdlow-citizens; our bayonets will
do you no harm ; but soldiers can never take them off."
The cries then became terrific of " Death to Polignac,"
" Death to Peyronnet." The names of time other prisoners
Were not even mentioned. These movements occupied the
. neighbourhood from six o'clock until eleven o'clock. The
• shops were speedily shut, the National Guards every where
reinforced, and the bulk of the people divided, and sent
quietly away.
In some of the inner forts, however, several of the Na-
,tional Guards were disarmed; but the few guns which
'were so taken were speedily recovered by patrols who
came to the relief of the sentinels. The great elite of this
crowd wait cemposed of young men about 18 or 20 years
•of age, and wearing working jackets and cloth caps. I
have heard that in this disguise were bodies of time law and
Medical students, and some of the Polytechnic youth. In
Only a single instance d•d I see any thing to sustain this
assertion, and that was at the corner of the rue du Dau-
phin, where, when a National Guard said to a young man,
" Why don't you retire, you have heard our orders."—
' ( Ordinances was the French word he used.) " Yee, I
Imave heard of the ordinances (meaning the coup d'etat
'of time Ex-Ministers), and I have come here to see justice
,done for them." In every other instance the expressions
`if the crowd which assailed my ears were uttered with
4he patois pronunciation and bar of the lower classes of
the FrenCh people. Medical students tell me that they only
Mlxtd in the crowd through curiosity, and the Polytechnic
.Pcholars have issued a paper, denying any participation in
these tumults.
*At nine o'clock 12,000 of the National Guards were in
actual duty around the Luxembourg, regiments of the line
Were formed in the Louvre and Palais Royal, and the gates
closed against the public. General Lafayette, that virtu-
nue but weak old man, repaired instantly to the Palace of
the Luxembourg ; on his way he was assailed in various
Places by offensive epithets, but the great bulk of the
epectetors preserved that respect which is due to his age
and character. lie demanded a bed in the prison of the
unhappy Ministers, and said he should not quit that
domicile until the sanctuary of the laws was assured. The

Ministers Marshal Soult alone has energy. Latitte is a
