i')NLA )N. THURS AY. JUNE 14, 1849.

There has been agjoi a demonstration in the
streets of Pari,;. Yesterday twenty-five thousand
men, be]onging to the National Guard, and the
school 4, a.,tseinnled unarmed at the Chateau d'Eau,
for thr purpos, or going in procession ro the 14,-gis-
Ltive .A.,skrnbly to prey-nt a protest against the de
ci,ion w' Cie Assembly on Tiv-sdiy, and a petition
praying th it the French It-public should recognise
that of Rome, Osoth [ertectly legitimate and I. gel
objects, and thereftre objects which the L-gitimatist
General CHANG kRNIER, acting in collision with
Jesuit DE FALLOUX, wis determined to circumvent,
and not circumvent only, but to turn, if possible, into
an excuse for commencing that political St. Bar-
tholomew of the French Patriots, which
the apologist of the Catholic St. Matholomew
is so ambitious of undertaking.
The PRESIDENT of the Republic is, we regret to
say, the same weak, vain, giddy person that he ever
was; since the days of the Eglinton tournament and
of the expedition of Bolougne he is not one whit al-
tered. Like the 800 asoNs, he has not learned any-
thing, although it appears he has entirely forgotten
who were the persons who imprisoned him for seven
years at Harn ; and so long as he can indulge in his
nightly jollifications at the Elysee he cares not how
the worl I wags. He is a mere tool in the hands of
others—the Caaanss IX. of the new St. Bartho-

lomew's.
Neither is the pompous, bald-headed old gentleman
who acts as President of the Council to be considered
so culpable as the prime mover in this affair, M. DE
FALLOUT. M. ODILON BARROTOCCUpieS the same post-
tion in the French Ministry which Lord LIVERPOOL
for so long a period held in the English Ministry, of
'which he was nominally chief, and knows about as
much of the proceedings of M. DE Faixoux as did
the respectable Lord LIVERPOOL of those of Lord
CASTLEREAGH. But, albeit the share of MM.
LOUIS NAPOLEON BONAPARTE and ODJLON BAR-
itoT in the perpetration of these treasmable designs
may be less than that of MM. CHANGARNIER and DE
Fain.orx, yet are they not one whit the less respon-
sib!e, morally or legally, for whatt ver may occur; and,
albeit the people have as yet behaved admirably,
have resisted eve y provocation to outbreak, and the
provocations haye t-een neither few nor far between,
yk't there is a point beyon I which human endurance
ca„ not go , an 'l should the people ultimately
rise in. their might, -houl birricades be erected,
sh Thi,f•it in; tak,l p'ac., should blood he
Shed, . for every (Iry of blood so shed
the PRESIDP.NT a ol his Ministers will be re-
aponei')le btfore Goo an l before man. They have
violated the Cons-itc on, and in defending the COD-
eitution the people I+ re :n their right,. The PRESIDENT
and his Monsters exercise their power solely by vir-
tu,' of the Constitution, which they have sworn to
observe ; if they violate it, the people, as guardian's of
Coutitution, lave, under the 111th Article, the •

undoubted right of deposing them, should the As-
sembly refuse to do its duty by putting them under
accusation. If they pretend that they exercise power
by my other authority than by that of the Constitu-
tion, then are they usurpers and outlaws. So much
for the law, of the case, and now comes the question,
have they violated the tlinstitution ? Undoubtedly
they have violated the Constitution by their uujust,
impolitic, iniquitous war Against Rome. The Con-
gitution declares that the PRESIDENT has not the
right of declaring war or making peace—that right
belongs to the Assembly alone. The Government
applied to the Constituent Assembly for permission
to send an expedition to occupy some point of the
Roman territory, in order to uphold the interests
of France in Italy, which were threatened by
the victory of the Austrians at Novarra ; that per-
mission was given on the expressed condition that the
Roman Republic should nut be atmcked. The expe-
ditien landed at Civita Vecchia, and General OUDI•
Nor, in direct contravention of the wishes of the
Assembly, acting, it is said, under secret orders from
M. DE FALLOUX, the favourite of the PRESIDENT and
the representative of the Parti Pretre in the Cabinet,
which orders were conveyed to him by Monsignor
DE FALLOUX, the brother of the French Minister and
a priest in the personal service of the POPE, attacked
Rome anti was defeated. On the 7th May the Con-
stituent Assembly, who aline had the right of
declaring war, refused to do so, passed a vote of
censure on the Ministers, and ordered them to
recal the expedition to its original purposes
which was, be it remembered, to occupy some part
of the Roman territory, in order to protect French in-
terests in Italy, so long as those interests should
be threatened by the presence of an Austrian force
in the Peninsula. This order was contemptuously
disobeyed, and on the Sunday which intervened be-
tween the rising of the Constituent Assembly on
Saturday, and the assembling of the Legislative
Assembly on Monday, the Government di-patched
orders to General OIMINOT to enter Rome bon gre
mal gre, thus declaring war against the Roman Re-
public, in direct violation of the Constitution which
they had -sworn to observe and defend. It cannot
be said that this was a case of emergency, and that
there was no time to consult the Assembly. M.
GouncuAux and some other members seem to have
suspected some fraudulent proceeding on the part of
the Government, and therefore they met in the hall
of the Assembly on Sunday and .continued sitting
there in permanence until midnight, so - that at the
very time this dispatch was sent off the Assembly
was sitting. Neither did the Government report
t) the Legislative Assembly, as it was their duty to
have done on the first day of the sittting, the important
step they had taken, and it was not until Monday last
that M. LEDRU ROLLIN wrung from M. ODILON
BARROT the tardy avowal of the commission of this
breach of the Consti ution on the part of the Executive
—a breach so flagrant, that not even the Ministers
themselves have ventured to make even an attempt
at it, justification. In the course of this discussion M.
°nieces BARROT in vain endeavoured to rouse that
false sense of national honour which has been so
ot ten appealed to as an excuse fur the
commission of the most atrocious crimes.
" There is something," said M. LEDRU RoLetts, " of
greater consequence even than honour: it is justice"—
a noble sentiment, and one upon which we trust the
French Republicans will continue to act ; but justice
can bide her time ; the punishment of the avenger
is all the more weighty, and the more certain, be-
cause her steps are slow. Let justice be dune, but
let prudence be consulted, in order that it may be
done effectually. The people are in their right
up to the present moment ; do not let
them by the commission of any imprudence put them-
selves in the wrong, and give their enemies that op-
portunity which they so ardently desire, of extin-
guishing liberty in blood. Let them look to the
example of O'CONNELL, let them look to the success
of the O'Connell tactics, when adopted in France
against GUIZOT and Louts PHILIPPE in the autumn
of 1848 ; let them seek justice by peaceful agitation,
and justice they will obtain, in spite of the intrigues
of the DE FALLOUX, or the mercenaries of the CHAN-
GARNIER, even although those mercenaries should be
reinforced by the Croats of JELLAcuicu, or the Cos-
sacks of NicHOLAS.

We had hoped that the unanimous decision of the
House of Lords with respect to Mr. SMITH 013RIIEN

and his unfortunate coadjutors—a decision pronounced
without the slightest doubt or hesitation, and sup-
ported by the most convincing arguments—would
have terminated the proceedings in these painful
cases. Having been clearly convicted of the high.e=t
crime known to the law—having exhausted every
human device to frustrate the ends of justice—having
had the various points of law raised in their favour
most fully and ably argued before the several tribu-
nals until they were finally adjudicated upon in the
court of ultimate resort—their forfeited lives were
placed at the mercy of the SOVEREIGN against whom
they had rebelled, and whom they sought to deprive
of a portion of her dominions.
It was well known, however, that the ex-
treme penalty of the law would not be car-
ried into execution. Such a consummation

would be as repugnant to the feelings of

our Most Gracious QUEEN, as it would be revolting to
public opinion, which could not bear to see what had
been regarded as a farce terminated in so deep a tra-
gedy. L would indeed be a harrowing and heartrending
spectacle to behold the death pangs on a scaffold of
those misguided individuals whose follies and ab-
surdities rendered them objects worthy rather of
ridicule and contempt than of capital punishment.
Nothing could tend more to revive the agitation
and disaffection in Ireland, which has happily sub-
sided, than the execur ion of those wretched delinquents.
Notwithstanding the crimes of which they had been
convicted, there were redeeming points in their
characters that deservedly obtiti:ied the public sym-
pathy. Although their guilt was in the highest
degree dangerous to society, and subversive of the
best interests of the community, there was nothing
of a mean or sordid description therein, nothing
to awaken that thrill of indignant horror and execra-
tion that attends the last m.hmentsol the cold-blooded
murderer who deliberately destroyed his fellow-
man. To consign to the scaff.ld men convicted of
merely political offences would be, not to deter
others from the commission of similar offences, but

o excite the strongest detes•ation of, and opposition

to, the sanguinary code under which sach barbarities
could be p-rpetrateti, and to induce a desire to
abrogate it by any means, however illegal and uncon-
stitutional.

But if it would be unwise and impolitic, as well
as cruel and vindictive, to consign these guilty men
to an ignominious death, the example would be per-
nicious which taught that there was to be unlimited
impunity crimes.eneityfoourrasguecmhentto

outbreaks of popular
violence, by which
society might be convulsed, property deteriorated, and
many innocent lives sacrificed. Instead of the exten-
sive and well-regulated liberties enjoyed by British
subjects, and the mild sway under which they are
now governed, all order would be trampled under
foot by audacious demagogues, and we should live
in a region of political volcanoes. If the conse-
quences of 'high treason could be evaded in their
cases, how could we ever punish minor delinquents ?
Could their rank and station in society, which mate-
rially aggravated, be permitted to extenuate their
crimes, or to exempt them from the punishment
they had merited ? These are questions that suggest
themselves to every reflecting mind, and the solution,
is by no menus easy to those who would desire to be-
hold justice tempered with mercy, but who w ould, at
the same time, be careful that mercy did not so far
supersede justice as to became an injury to the com-
munity in general.
Influenced by such considerations, the Executive—
which in an early stage of the proceedings had assuaged
the terrors of the friends and relatives of these unhappy
men by giving an assurance that, whatever might be
the result of the appeals then pending, their lives, at
'east, would be sparrd—csme to the conclusion, after
mature and anxious consideration, that all the require-
ments of justice would be satisfied by the commuta-
tion of the capital penalty to the milder, but still
severe punishtnent, of perpetual banishment. We
can scarcely feel surprised tbat a greater mitigation
was not announced in the first instance. It is true
that they had already suffered deeply—that they had
eucottutered the :gaieties of trials, op the nililt of

which depended liberty and freedom on the one hand,
or of an ignominious arel painful death upon the
scaffold on the other ; that some of them, at least, had
forfeited station and effluence, and all that could make
life desirable ; that they had sustained a year of
lingering incarceration—a punishment much heavier
to such persons than to the ordinary class of offenders,
and perhaps more intol, rable than even death itself,
if endured when their spirits were worked up to the
highest pitch of enthusiasm. But if their chastise-
ment had been severe, their crimes demanded exem-
plary punishment ; neither was there anything to
prevent the Government from again ameliorating
their condition and remitting further puuishment,
when thought and reflection shall have convinced
them of the heinousness of their offences, and opened
their eyes to the true nature of the acts of which
th y had be n guilty, and to the madness of the con-
duct that had reduced them from comfort and happi-
ness to humiliation and suffering. Indeed there is
every reason to suppose that such further commuta-
tion would not be very long delayed, if they showed
themselves deserving of the Ronal clemency.
Unfortunately, however, Mr. SMITH O'BRIEN, and,
we fear, we may add some at least of his coadjutors,
appear to he still actuated by the perverse and reck-
less spirit by which they were animated before their
abortive attempt at insurrection had been suppres,ed,
when they still supposed the expulsion of the British
troops from Ireland and the establishment of a Pro-
visional Government practicable. It will be seen
that the Honourable Member_ for the county of
Limerick on Monday evening presented a petition
from his late colleague to the House of Commons, in
whieh that unhappy gentleman objected to the com-
mutation of his sentence and refused to exchange the
punishment of death for that of transportation for life.
Accounts from Ireland also state that Sir C. O'LoGn-
LEN, on behalf of the prisioners generally, announced on
Saturday to the Under-Secretary for Ireland the de-
termination at which they had.. arrived, and denied
the authority of the Government to send them from
the country except with their own consent, which
they refused to giVe. This novel. question must
therefore, if the parties should persevere in their in-
sane resolution, be decided by the proper authorities.
We shall not of course enter into any consideration of
the legal point while it is yet sub judice, but will
merely remark, that even if their- views were well
founded, and that they could not be expatriated in
lieu of suffering the capital penalty assigned to their
offence, their punishment would be still more severe,
and trying, for they could be detained in perpetual
imprisonment es criminals under sentence of death,
who had been from time to time respited. Their
absurd vanity will not, therefore, be gratified ;
they will not be made martyrs, nor will the
Government recal the conditional pardon they
have announced ; but if not transported the pri-
s niers will be detained in a lingering and irksome
confinement, far worse than banishment, in which,
after a brief period, they could enjoy comparative
freedom, and the society of those who would be pre-
pared to follow them even to another hemisphere, and
to share the wretched fate which had been occasioned
by their rash and headstrcng conduct.

ATTEMPT AT
INSURRECTION IN PARIS.

Extraordinary intelligence has reached us from
Paris this morning, by electric telegraph.
The appeal to arms, made from the tribune of
the Legislative Assembly by M. LEDRU RoLLIN,
and responded to with such enthusiasm by the
Mountain, has already exercised its influence on the
population.

Barricades have again been attempted to be raised.
Paris has been again declared in a state of siege.
Blood is again expected to flow through the streets
of the French capital, adding the horrors of civil war
to the devastations of the cholera.

Such preparations have, however, been made by
the authorities, and such a vast military power is at
present concentrated in their hands in the metropolis,
that little hope of immediate success remains with
the insurgents.
The outbreak is evidently precipitate.
The public mind in England must have been wel
prepared for this close to the Italian policy of the
Odilon Barrot Administration. From accounts given
at considerable length in our columns last evening, it
must hare been evident teat a great amount
of excitement existed among the people as to the
conduct of the Governmer:t in regard to Rome, and
especially in reference to the last violent discussion
on that subject between the Droit and the Gauche of
the National Assembly. The long harangues of M.
LEDRU ROLLIN and of M. ODILON BARROT, together
with the abrupt but striking remarks of General
BEDEAU and M. TRIERS were preceded by the
Impeachment, signed with 142 signatures. They
were followed by the " Declaration" of the Mountain ;
by the "Declaration" of the Democratic-Socialist
Journalists; by the Remonstrances of the 3d and 7th
Legions of the National Guard; by the " Protest of
the Schools," and by the appeal from the Electoral
Typographical Committee of the National Assembly.
These inflammatory speeches and placards have
already brought forth the fruits they were intended
to produce.
_

Through the medium of the Red Republican jour.
nals the Mountain has issued the following ad.
dress :

" TO THE FRENCH PEOPLE.

The people alone is sovereign.
" The delegates of the people, whoever they may be,
the Presides tof the Republic, the Ministers, the repre;
sentatives themselves, only receive and hold their man-
date on condition of obeying-the Constitution.
" When they violtue it their maudati- is cancelled.
" Article 54 of the Cons itutiOn says, "Fite President
of the It public w ecties over the defence of the state, but
h- cannot undertake any war without the consent of the
National Assembly.'
" Article sof the preamble says, The French Re-
public respects foreign nationalities, as it will make its
own respected; will undertake no war with a view to
conquest, or evt r employ its forces against the liberty of
any people.'
"The President of the Republic has declared war on
Rome withoUt the consent of the National Assembly.

" He has, moreover, in defiance of the decree of the
A‘senitily on the 7th of May, continued to cause French
blood to be Ailed.

" Ile has, in fine, employed the forces of France
against the liberty of the Roman people.
" This double violation of the Cuustitution is as clear
as the sun at noonday.
" The unders!gued representatives of the people make
an appeal to the consciences of their colleagues pro
posing to them the impeachment of the Extcutive Go-
vernment.

"The majority of the Assembly has rejected this pro-
position; it had already rendered itself, by its vote of
the 11th of May, an accomplice in the affairs of Italy.
" In this conjunction what has the minority to do?

" After having protested at the tribune, it has only to
remind the people, the National Guard, and the army,
that Art. 110 places the Constitution under the guar-
dianship of all Frenchmen.
" People, the moment is critical. All these acts re-
veal a grand system of monarchical conspiracy against
the Republic. The ill-dissembled hatred of democracy
on the banks of the Seine breaks out in all freedom on
the banks of the Tiber.

" In this struggle between people and kings the Go-
vernment has ranged itself on the side of the latter
against the former.
" soldiers l you reckon on wresting Italy from the
Austrians; you are condemned to assist Austria in en-
slaving her.
" At the moment when Prussia, Russia, and Austria
threaten our eastern frontiers, it is wished to make you
the auxiliaries of the enemies of France.
" National Guards, you are the defenders of liberty
and order. Liberty—order is the constitution; it is the
Republio.
" Let us all rally to the cry of Vim) la Republique,
vire la Constitution.' "•
Signed by the Members of the Mountain.
Another manifesto of a more desperate character
has been issued through the same organs; it runs as
follows : •

"The President ofTtOlieTßueEpuPbElOicnt;En.d. tho Ministers are
without the pale of the Constitution. •
"The part of the Assembly, which by its vote of yes-
terday rendercd itself an accomplice in their acts, are in
the same situation.
" The National Guards are risit g, the workships are
closing; let cur brethren of the army renumber that they
are cum -ns, and that as each their first duty is todetend
the Constitntide.
"Let the whole people rise.
•
." Vive la Republique I
" Vive 1 Constitution :"
Signed by the Committee of the Press, the Demo-
cratic Socialists, the Schools, and the Delegates of the
Luxembourg.
The third is from the Democratic Association of
the Friends of the Constitution :
" Art. 110 of *the Constitution confides it to the
guardianship and patriotism of all Frenchmen.
" Ler, therefore, all the friends of the Constitution;
let all true citizens, remember the duties 'which are im-
Oosed on theta by the fundamental law. Let a mani-
Natation, grand and eels] as justice, solemn as the holy
cause of nationalities, make evident the protest of the
French people against the audacious acts of the Govern-
Jiang, and secure henceforth the triumph of the Coned-
gal=

" The wh, le of France will unite in the generous
efforts of the people of Pari,"

From the information which has reached us through
the Paris journals of yesterday and through other
sources, it woul f appear that the :ittiog of the As-
sembly wax resumed on Tuesday evenlog, under
more than ever exciting circumstance. The Chamber
was strongly guarded by soldiers with bayonets
fixed; while artillerymen stood with lighted matches
in the garden. The mob outside howled defiance
over the heads of the military But the Right of
the Chamber remained firm and in an imposing force.
In the 13,h Bureau M. I'EAN asked M. ODILON
BARROT, " If the French army enter Rome, will the
Government allow the Romans to select such form of
government as they think fit ?" " Assuredly," re-
plied M. BARROT. " Then, why did you attack
Rome ?" M. BARROT replied that it was his object
to prevent that city from being occupied by the
Austrians; he added, " Let us be of good taith D.
you wish to make war against Austria ; tell us
frankly ?" M. ZSIAUGUIN replied that 11,• would dis
cuss that when the Rusian intervenion debate
came en.

When the report was brought in from the Com-
mittees, it, of course, proposed the rejection of the
impeachment. Then the Montague denaandtd all the
documents to be produced which related to the Ro-
man expedition ; and, after a stormy debate, the
PRESIDENT said, '6 I now put the conclusion of the
Committee to the vote.--(Loud exclamations on the
Left.) The division will be proceeded to."----(Re
newed exclamations, amidst which could be re-
peatedly heard the phrase, " C'est infatne !")
The Left, as before, abstained from voting ; the
following was the result :

Number of voters
Absolute majority
Ayes... ...
Noes... 22..

Maj city
In consequence, the conclusions of the committee
were declared to be adopted, and the proposition to
impeach the Minister* was not taken into considera-
tion. _ _ -

The Assembly then, in considerable agitation, ad-
journed at a quarter to ten to.thi,4 morning.
Another account of the sitting say—" M. Tunas
took a conspicuous part in the debate, and met M.
LEDRu Romart foot to foot, telling him that the
cause at stake was between order and demagogui4m,
and that he would defend_ the cause of order to the
last. M. LEDRU RoLLIN retorted by saying that the
words of M. THIER‘ were identical with those of the
Emperor of RuestA."

The National announces that the members of the
ex-Constituent having been prevented from meeting
yesterday in the Palais National by the Minister or
Public Works, resolved 'to meet elsewhere, but the
place of rendezvous is not mentioned.
, Numerous arrests have been made.

In the course of the debate on Tuesday night N.
DE TOCQUEVILLE presented two telegraphic dis-
patches from Rome, of the 5 and 6th, for the sake of
showing that the unfortuna'e rumours given by M
LEDRU RoLLIN the day before were utterly ground-
less. These dispatches are as follows :-
4. Head-quarters, Villa Santucci, June 5, Seven,
" The opening of the trenches took place this evening
at six o'clock. At five o'clock iu the morning two be-
sieging batteries opened their fire. The enemy occupied
by a serious diversion which I had ordered on the side
of the Villas Corsini and Valentini, did not fire a single
sqot on our workmen. Durit g the day its fire on ibis
sfrie was well kept up, but without causing us any 10.. s
The 53d Regiment of the brie, which landed three dos
since, arrived here yesterday, and immediattly took
part in the service. The Pont Molle is entirely re-
established, and carriage a can pass over it. In the mines
10 kilogrammes of powder were found prepared to blow
it up."

" June 6, half-past three A 31.
The night has pasat:el off 'tranquilly; the works at
tle trenches are carried on with sictivity. Last night
pew baiteries were cons rutted. Unceasing exertions are
'being made to Consolidate the detence of San .1.-)ancrazio
and the Villas.Corsina and Val, ntini."
The Censtitutionnel taunts M. LEnhu ROLLIN with
showing at the last moment the white feather—not of
the, Bourbons, however :
!" M. Ledru Rollin, who the day before appeared as
the proud tribune, the herald of a warlike demagoguism.
who, shaking his mantle, cried war on the Assembly—
'his knight of the Red Republic showed last evening
that he did not forget his brief bag, and be set ab ut
explaining, modifying, and reducing to nothing his
short and categorical challenge of the previous evening,
twice flung at the Governinentaye, explained all this
away with the pacific commentary of a constitutional
laiwy er. Oh 1 it was not an appeal to arms that he
uttered, it was a mere hyPtithe,is—a constitutional doc-
trine to meet extreme cases. Oh them superb tri-
bune of the eve, how humiliated dust thou not appear
v-day. Your r..sh provocati,pus were very criminal;
but bad 'as they were, they will overwhelm yell
less than your providence of a runaway lawyer! You
play with the fire, and have such fear of bein,, burned !
You throw a whole population into alarm You disturb
irtdostry and commerce, and trouble honest men—you
make an appeal to the troops—you send emissaries LA°
the workshops to oblige the men to turn out. Your ,ffi-
cers and sub officers furbish their arms and sound the
charge—they expose thrmsrlves to dal ger for 3 ou,
violate the law, hoping to ese,,pe from !heir crime
through means of yours; and when all is re'arly tor war,
when the government tells you its measurrs are taken,
you tremble, you disband your forces, and instead of '
crying to cone to the tribune, saying peace, peace. G,t,
away, sour measure is taken, your part Is pia) ed. You ,
know what are the sentiments of Conservatives towards ,

you; arid 3 ou way esteem yourself happy it demagogues
do not henceforward regard you will. pity You have
lost, if we mistake not, the esteem of the Vraie Repub
lique. What a fall ! factious a d ridiculous, either would
be bad enough. but both together is too much."
This terrible paragraph, say some of the commen-
tators, is from M. THIERB, and no mistake I
Later intelligence of the proceedings of the Red
Republican insurgents in Paris afford no particulars.
Thousands of troops were in the streets.

The people had been fired on; one man, at the
least, being killed, and several persons in an immense
procession wounded.
Many dispersed at the first discharge of musketry,
calling Aux armes ! and declaring they would take
to the barricadts.

All the shops were closed and business entirely
stopped.
One of the accounts of the movement gives this
explanation of its
e:
cause h o
e dfe ttehe p

andof to
put the
Assembly to Puppy
down the Roman Republic, has rendered the Red
Republicans furious, and the opportunity is seized
pp“rt rise
la -0o to make a manifestation in favour of the Roman
F
Republic, and at the same time against the Govern-
ment and the Legi,lative As4embly. Notice was
accordingly inserted in the Reforme and the other
organs of the Red Republicans, calling upon the
National Guards, the students of the different schools,
wit' the workmen, to meet this morning without
arms, at the Chateau d'Eau, in the Bi.ulevard Boone
Nouvelle, in order to go in procession to the Legisla-
tive Assembly, to present a protest against the vote
come to yesterday, and a petition to the effect that
the French Republic should recognise that of Rome.
The result has been like that which followed the
movement of the sympathisers with Poland in the
May of 1848
The procession of insurgents was estimated at some
25 000 persons, including 12,000 National Guards,
and led by M. ETIENNE ARAGO, accompanied by
several Members of the Mountain, and two Colonels
of the National Guards.
About noon the military were turned out of barracks
to the number of no less than 60,000 or 70,000 men.

When the procession arrived at the end of the Rue
de la Pala, they were met by a large body of troops,
both cavalry and infantry, headed by General CHAN-
GARNIER, the Prefect of Police, and a numerous staff.
General CHANGARNIEIt immediately summoned those
forming the procession to disperse, and on there
app-abrlng to b. a alight hesttntloh, the body wee
broken by the troops, one party withdrawing by the
small streets leading down from the Boulevard, and
the rest towards the Madeleine.

In an instant the Boulevards were cleared by large
bodies of cavalry, and the demonstration ended.
Some accidents occurred whilst the cavalry was pro-
ceeding down the Boulevards; one dragoon being
hurt by a fall, and a National Guard having had his
face cut by a sabre.
M. LACROSSE, the Minister of Public Works was
nearly torn to pieces by the mob, near the Chateau
d'Eau. His life was preserved by the interposition
of M. ETIENNE ARAGO and M. GENT.
The recrptaon of General CEIANGARNIER is described
as having been most erithusiarttc, the people crying
out Vive Changarnier I Vive r Ordre! Vive l'Ordre
surtout! A bus les Rouges! Never once cheering
the Republique Democratic et Sociale, but shouting

The Central Power has just issued a procla-
mation, from which we extract the following pa:-
sages :

" TO THE PEOPLE OF Is ?DEN.

" The troops required to crush the insurrection. which
in the Grand Duchy has broken out against the Consti-
tutional Government and the Central Power, are ready
i,enter the Grand Duct yof Baden. Those rigorous
measures which Biwa) s accompany, the presence of au
armed reps, ssive force shall be proclaimed and executed
.vithout scruple by the authorities.
" Inhabitants o Baden ! I shall do my duty, that
is, to say—l shall et d..avour to give effect to the
law. You cannot have forgotten that it is not
ibe will of the majority, legally expressed, hu,
the violence committed by some masses (,f armed
mn, which has brought about the deplorable
s'tuation in which the Grand Duchy of Baden
tied the Palatinate of the Rhine are placed. Your hap.
piness lids upon the prevention of the ruin with
which you are threatened : your honour exacts that
your country, hitherto so free, so prosperous, should n. 4
c intinue to presi,nt to the rest of Germany the image of
iiisorder. The origin of the insurrection and the otijects
of the chiefs do rot: spring from any evident causes. No
uati cal rights, no int. ri sts of the country were thi ea-
'tined in the duchy of Baden. The movement required
the false pretext of maintaining the Constitution of the
empire, ;hat it might n. 4 he rt,garded, even by the most
blind, as criminal, and without rational object. But,
iii-
,tead of favouring the Constitution of the empire, this
insurrection is one of the chief .obstacles which, to the
great regret of all tine patriots, is epposed w a change
in Germany which is worthy of the German people. .
"People of Baden! I doubt not that although you
may be imposed upon it will not be possible for any
length ot time to repress the conscience ot the people.
All Germany exptcts from you a return to the virtues
of moderation, and. respect for the law, without which
no pi ogress is possible, and we cannot receive any truiis
from the efforts and sacrifices of the past year. —The
German army which enters on your territory will secure
the protection of the empire, and will restore the legal
authority of your good Prince, as well as the ben, fits of
peace and of real liberty. I conjure you to favour ti is
army in its t fforts to secure these objects; unite your
forces to it, and drive from y our country the shame and
disasters of a civil war.
