REVOLT OF PRISONERS FOR DEBT IN ST.
PELAGIE.

At six o'clock on Tuesday evening a rumour was
spread through the prison of St. Pelagie that all
: Paris was in a state of insurrection, and the debtors
resolved to escape, as they had done last July. They
rushed in disorder towards the entrance passage, awl
demanded their discharge in the name of liberty.
The gaoler replied that he could not cotnply with
their request, except by a written order from their
creditors, or from the Prefect of Police. " Liberty
for ever ! No imprisonment for debt !" was their
only answer; and as the gaoler was deaf to their
cries, they announced a project to force the bars and
'doors. Upon the authorities being apprised of this
revolt, a strong detachment of the National Guard
was sent to the spot. The sight of these citizen
soldiers only increased the uproar of the .prisimers,
who proceeded to break all the windows and par
titions and smaller bolts, with the fragments of
which they renewed their attack upon the doors, the
outer one of which they at length split and half-
demolished, when the Guards raised a counter
barricade, and pushed them back through the broken
door at the point of the bayonet. The pri-
soners then retreated up stairs to the windows,
from which they flung all kinds of missiles, and
at last two pistol shots were fired upon the
soldiers, who immediately replied by a discharge
of blank-cartridge, which having no effect, they
next fired with ball, and wounded some of the pri-
soners. This had the effect of stopping the revolt
during the night. On Wednesday morning a rein-
forcement of 150 soldiers of the line arrived, and
facilitated the egress of a great number of visitors,
men, women, and children, who were forced by the
tumult to pass the night in the prison. A new agi-
tation them broke out among the prisoners, upon
being informed that warrants for the revolt were
issued against eighteen of them; but the interven-
tion and exhortations of M. Christophe, the In-
spector-General of the prisons of the Seine, joined
to the firmness and moderation of M. Benoist,
Commissary of Police, charged with the execution
of the warrants, after two hours of intet ference,
succeeded ill calming the tumult, and preventing
the further use of the armed force. At two o'clock
in the day, the seventeen accused rioters were trans-
ferred to La Fmce ; the eighteenth accused was
obliged, on account of his wounds, to be left in St.
Pelagie,—Gazette des Tribuneux.

DISTURBANCES IN PARIS,

-- •
The following are the only particulars we have
to add to the ample details we have already pub-
lished :—The church of St. Paul was attacked on
Tuesday, and all the objects ornamented with fleurs-
de-lis destroyed; many in wood were brought out
and burnt before the church. Several persons whe
were carrying off articles they had stolen were ar-
rested. In the evening the cross was pulled down
amidst loud acclamation:. At the church of Notre
Dame, au officer of the National Guards, %%,;0 at-
tempted to prevent the populace from dislodging the
cross, was roughly handled. Tri-coloured flags have
been hoisted by the people on the churches of St.
Sulpice, St. Etienne du Mont, St. Gervais, and Sr.
Laurent. The Church of St. Germain l'Auxerrois
has been metamorphosed into the " Mairi du qua-
trietne Arrondissement;" the facade was brilliantly
illuminated, and about eight o'clock a bust of Louis
Philip was placed on the platform, where it was in-
augurated amidst the applauding shouts of the
people, and surmounted with tri-colotired flags.
Shortly 'after-Wards the troops who occupied the
square before the Church were withdrawn ; when
they retired, a slight disturbance arose in con-
sequence of a woman residing in a neighbour-
ing house attempting to appropriate to herself
the remains of the wood brought into the square for
the watch-fires, which was claimed as the usual per-
quisities of the drummer of the company. The
crowd, which had begun to disperse, re-assembled ;
but on the case being stated, the vox populi decided
on the justice of the drummer's claims, and the
marauding Amazon was forced most reluctantly to
resign her booty. Every one then dispersed, and
the place remained perfectly tranquil.
The fleurs-de-lis sculptured under the galleries of
the Exchange were on Wednesday covered with
plaster, and those in front of the Patois Royal were
on Friday ordered by the King to be removed in the
course of the night.
Whilst the workmen were breaking the bas-reliefs
of the arch du Carrousel yesterday, M. Peyre, an
architect and Colonel of the Staff of the National
Guards, suffered an exclamation of regret to escape
him respecting the destruction of one of them. He
was immediately assailed by the people and some of
the National Guard present, deprived•of his epau-
lettes, his clothes torn, and himself severely ill-
treated. It was not without difficulty that he was
able to take refuge in the Louvre, where Colonel
Jacqueminot, in endeavouring to protect him, was
also assaulted. By explaining the real motives of
M. Peyre's observations, Colonel Jacqueminot suc-
ceeded in allaying the exasperation of the assailants.
The Journal du Havre announces that several
parcels addressed to houses in London were seized
last Sunday at Havre, on board the English South-
ampton packet. It is supposed that the authorities
had strong grounds for suspecting that these parcels
contained a correspondence between the Carlists in
France and the refugees at Holyrood.
Extract of a private letter of the 1I th instant
from Turin :—" The insurrection in the Duchy of
Modena is complete. The new Government of the
insurgents is recognized there without opposition.
The Duke, on quitting Modena, resigned his autho-
rity to a Council of Regency; but the insurgents
from the country soon marched upon the town, and
the Regency took to flight. The Duke took with
him to Mantua the chief conspirator Menotti, whose
house was taken by the troops after a bloody com-
bat. He is one of the richest merchants of Modena.
The revolution of Bologna is spreading without oh-
tacle throughout all Romagna. The Provisional
Government is composed of the most respectable
inhabitants of the country. Hitherto every thing
has been quiet in Lombardy. No Austrian troops
have as yet made any movement. Tranquillity also
reigns in Piedmont. The events at Moder.a and
Bologna have produced a powerful sensation at
Turin.

The Madrid Gazelle, of the Bth instant, con-
tains a report of the unfortunate expedition of the
Spanish Constitutionalists in the Bay of Gibraltar.
in the night of January 28, they disembarked to the
amount of about two hundred men, at Angada In-
glesa. At the same time three other barges, laden
with men, presented themselves at the Aguada of
St. Philip, where a second landing was effected.
They then proceeded towards St. Barbe, where
they surprised some posts; but soon after, being at-
tacked by detachment of earabineer::, and two bat-
