to cry "Vive NapOleon 1" at the last review, and that
the same men were to be actors in tee coup d'etat on
the 28th. General Changarnier, were it only to re-
assure the country, should be at his pest. The
President of the Republic, he thought, was capable
of any foolish act, after the folly he had commit•ed in
1836. He could not be in his senses when he attacked
Louis Philippe, who was then so firmly seated on his
throne. On being pardoned, he wrote a letter to that
Monarch expressive of his eternal gratitude, and in
1840 he recommenced, and, accompanied by a few
men disguised as soldiers, and crying " Vive l'Em-
pereur !" landed on the coast of Boulogne. Was not
that folly ?
Here an explosion of terrific murmurs arose, and
cries of " Order" echoed on all sides.
M. Odilon Barrot observed that it was impossible
that the discussion could continue with that character
of outrage for the First Magistrate of the Republic,
elected by 6,000,000 of suffrages. The President
might be constitutionally accused, but no body had a
right to insult him, and those' who proclaimed them-
selves exclusive Republicans should be the last to
vilify the elect of the nation.
M. Ledru Rollin maintained that, after the two
acts he had denounced, the President was capable of
anything. He did not accuse the Ministers; he knew
their attachment to legality, but there were round
the President men who were urging him to a coup
de main. On the 29th of January, when the
Assembly was surrounded with troops, Ministers
were ignorant of the cause of that extraordinary mi
litary display, and nevertheless they came forward to
cover the General with their old political probity.
Ministers knew nothing of what was passing at the
Elysee. He did not charge them wish conspiracy,
but with blindness. In conclusion he asked that the
Assembly should order an inquiry.
M. Falloux, Minister of Public Instruction, said
that he had been happy to hear from the mouth of
M. Ledru Rollin that none of the responsible agents
of the Government were suspected or capable of bar-
beuring any factious designs against the constitution.
The question relative to General Changarnier was
twice before the bureaux of the Assembly and was as
often decided in a favourable manner for the General,
and he would be accordingly justified in stating
that the charges repeated against that honourable
officer were only intended to excite Fissions out
of doors. M. Ledru Rollin had threatened the
country with a 10th of August. The people did not
desire a 10th of August. They neither liked trem-
blers nor those who made them tremble. France
equally despised and rejected the men who were
capable of nothing and capable of everything, the
men who had astonished her by their inca-
pacity and impotence.—(Bravos.) M. Falloux
served the Republic far better than those who
proclaimed themselves its exclusive champions,
and by their insanity, by evoking the phantom of the
coalition and the Russian empire, by exciting irrita-
tion and appealing to revolt, hastened the advent of
despotism. If the country was in danger, as they al-
leged, they were culpable in the extreme to stir up all
passions. He would tell them that they would fall
themselves the victims of their insanity, and
reminded them of the fate of their pre-
decessors in the career -of revolution. After
Bailly, Pethion was sacrificed ; after Pethion,
Barnave; after Barnave, Denton ; and after Denton,
Robespierre ; and ultimately despotism muzzled all
those tigers. Proceed in the same course, added M.
Falloux, and you must arrive at the same end.
M. Falloux was repeatedly inteirupted by yells
and insulting apostrophes from the Left, and applause
from the Right, and on descending from the tribune,
he was surrounded by nearly all the Members of the
latter side and warmly congratulated. The sitting
was afterwards suspended for some moments, end the de-
bate was ultimately adjourned to the next day. In the
mean time every hour brings to light fresh proofs of the
truth of the statement of M. VICTOR CO/V-IDERANT,
as to the intention of the Bugeaud Falloux faction
to attempt the destruction of the Constitution, by
violence, on the 27th May. The following is the
outline of the plot, as exposed in the Democratie
Pacifique
In an article in that journal, M. VICTOR CONSIDE-
RANT says that Marshal BUGEAUD had written to the
present Government !o inform them that now was
the time to act, if ever ; that in const quence it had
been determined to do as Marshal BooEAUD advised.
The intention, therefore, was to coalesce with the
three Northern Courts, in order to stifle revolution
and democracy in all Europe. One of the results of
this accord had been the recognition, by the Emperor
of RUttSIA, of the French Republic ; then a coup
d'etat was to be attempted, but this would bring on a
battle ; and iu order to do this, MM. BARROT, PAESY,
TRACI, and LACROSSE, who are averse to violent
measures, must be replaced by resolute men, who
would not recoil—such as BUGEAUD, FAUCIIER, and
Da FALLOUX, whose irresponsible advisers should be
MM. TRIERS and CIIAGARNIER. Such is the plan
in view, continued the Democratic Pacfique. People
will be sent through Paris to excite the tied Republi-
cans, exasperated by the nomination of such a Mi-
nistry, to rise and fire on the troops, who will be
ready to receive them. The conspiracy was to break
out on the 27th, 28th, and 29th of the present month.
A letter from Metz states that telegraphic orders
had been received from General CHANGARNIER fur
the march of large bodies ef troops from that garrison
for Paris—and also for fifty hospital nurses to be sent
to Paris, who were to arrive on the 27th. This last
order evidently proves that the General imagined
there would be fighting, and more wounded than the
Paris staff of nurses could conveniently attend to.
A similar order, as regards troops has been dis-
patched for Strasburgh, and tiey are now pouring
into Paris.

The Moniteur announces that Baron DE KISSELEFF
has presented his credentials as Charge d'Affairs of
Russia.

M. DE MALEsvILLE goes to Berlin on a special
mision.

The Union has the following statistical details of
the new Chamber:—
All the continental elections of France are now known.
The number of representatives f)r our 85 departments
is ... ••• ••• ... 734
Colonies and Algeria, as yet unknown ... 16

750
Of the 734 representatives now known, it is calculated
that 514 belong to the moderate party, and 220 only to the
socialist. The 734 Members are, et the' present mo-
ment,returnedsomewhatformoreredreduced, in consequence of one person
being than one place. M. Ledru Rol-
lin has been returned five times. General Changareier,
Napoleon Bonaparte, and Fe ix Pyat three times, and
nineteen other members have obtained double eleclions.
Two representatives returned are since dead, MM. La-
cave-Laplagne and Roger (du Loiret). Thirty-one
seats are thus lett vacant in the Legislative Assembly,
which will compel a fresh convocation of the electoral
colleges, to fill up the vacancies, within a delay of
biol; iltywdalysh. 339 members of the Ccustituent Assem-
bly seats in the Legislative Chamber. Of
these. 228 have hitherto belonged to the moderate party,
and 111 to the opposition of all shades. Amon the
present representatives who have met with popular
ostracism may be mention the following, who, since the
4th of May, have been presidents of the National As-
sembly,membgra of t and Armand
slri: 3t. viz.ghe Provisional
Government,and Arago, will have seats in the Legislative Assembly.

The Secretary-Geueral of the Provisional Government,
M. Pagnerre, and the three Aliuisters appointed by
them, MM. Goudchaux, Bethwont, and Csrnut, have not
been re-elected to the new Assembly. Of the twelve
Ministers called to office by General Cavaignac, two
only, MM. Dufeure and Laworic4re, have been re-
elected, but both those have obtained a double election.
Tne Ministers named by the President of the Re-
public will all form part of the new Assembly, with
the exception of General Rulhiares and Lion de Malle-
ville, who have not been re-elected, but MM. Odilon
Barrot and Passy have each ob:ained a double nomina-
tion. There will be in the new Assembly one marshal
of France, twenty-six generals, and, without speaking
of intermediate ranks, three sub-officers, one of each
has had double elections. The navy is there repre-
sented by three admirals, and the clergy by a bishop
and four priests.
The Siecle asks whether it is true that, simultane-
ously with the departure of M. LEsssrs, M. DE
PEItsIGNY, aide-de• camp of the PRESiDENT, had been
sent with secret instructions from Government to the
same quarter.
The Veloce arrived at Marseilles on the 22d from
Civita Vecchia. M. FORBIN JANSON, the French
charge d affaires at Rome, came as a passenger on
board her, and is,it is said, the bearer of terms for an
arrangement between the French and the Roman
Republics. The Journal des Debats announces the
conclusion of an armistice between General OUDINOT
and the Romans.
The debate on the motion of M. LEDRU ROLLIN
was resumed at the sitting of the National As embly
yesterday, and had not concluded when the post left.
It was of a much less acrimonious character than the
dh•cussion of the day preceding had been.
M. Baives, one of the Members of the Mountain,
had given notice of the following proposition :
" The National Assembly, at the moment of resigning
its sovereign powers, desirous to testily to the National
Guard and to the army the sentiments of gratitude with
which it is penetrated, for the assistance which they have
rendered it in the works of organizing
and of strength-
ening the Democratic Republic—

" DECREES*-

"Art. 2. The National Assembly shall assist in a body
at that review. The troops shall defile before it, and be-

By the returns of the Bank of France of the past
