FRANCE.

The National of Sunday gives the following account
of the arrest of the officers of the Garde Mobile :
" On Saturday General Changarnier summonod the
commanding officer of the 25 battalions of the Garde
Mobile to the Fuileries, to explain to them the mea
sures about to be adopted with respect to a reduction
of their corps. After some observations relative to the
superior claims of the regular troops, he said, I am
told that the Garde Mobile are dissatisfied, and that they
propose to meet to-morrow in the ('hamps Elysees. Let
them take care, if they stir I will have them sabred.'
After some moments, during which the officers ob-
served the most profound silence, General Changarnier
ordered four of the chiefs to be confined in the military
prison of the Abbaye for one month. This order produced
some remonstrances on the part of the officers, when the
General rang a bell, and a detachment of gendarmerie
entered the room, and seized the officers—one of them,
M. Alderige, who had joined Prince Louis Napoleon
when be landed at Boulonge, instantly drew his sword,
broke it, and declared that he bad entered the service as
a volunteer,- that he would resign, and that, being no
longer restrained by military discipline he would express_
himself in strong language on the conduct of the Ge-
neral. Ile was forthwith sent off under a military escort
to the Abbaye, and, in the course of the evening,
four other Commandants, M.M. Duseigneur, Arrighi,
Bussac, and Cameru, were arrested and committed to
the same prison."

The Journal du Peuple announces that it was seized
again on Saturday. It publishes an address to the
people, beseeching them to abstain for the present
from all species of manifestation, to avoid collecting in
crowds, but to suffer their representatives to continue
the course they have commenced. It tells them that
the safety of the people and of the Republic depends
in their obedience.

Precautions were taken. on Saturday to prevent
any disturbance on the reappearance of M. Lhermi-
nier in his hall in the College of France. Troops
were stationed in one of the courts of the college and
in the neighbourhood, and patrols of cavalry were in
the Place de Cambrai and the Rue St. Jacques. In
the interior of the college a commissary of police
and eighty agents were reedy to take into custody
those who should attempt a disturbance. While the
professor delivered his lecture a few students at-
tempted to interrupt him, but they were seized and
expelled. The lecture was continued without further
disturbance.

It was rumoured in Paris yesterday, that M. Lher-
minier had resigned his professorship. Other ac-
counts wilted that the Minister had dismissed him.
Certain it is, that he is no longer a professor of the
College of France.
