EMEUTES 1N PARIS.

PANIC ON THE BOURSE.
(From the Paris Correspondent of the Morning Post,

dated Monday Afternoon.)

Rumours have been current for the last two or
three days that the operatives would resort to some act
of violence this day. I was, therefore, by no means
startled when, at ten o'clock, I was told Om se bat.'
The Faubourg St. Antoine and the Faubourg St. Mar.
ceau were indicated as the scene of action. I drove off
there directly. On the way to the Bastile I remarked
that the Boulevards were almost deserted, not present-
ing the slightest indication of Monday, a holiday for
French worktven. On reaching the July column, I
found various groups assembled, and the houses com-
manding a view of the Faubourg St. Antoine was
crowded with spectators. Across the street itself was
a half squadron of cavalry (municipal), but no at-
tempt was made to stop vehicles. On going down the
Faubourg the signs of strife were visible. Shops all
closed, companies of infantry posted every twenty-five
yards, and excited workmen, indicated that a sti uggle
had been taking place, or was to take place. From in-
quiries I learned the extent of the affray had been con-
fined to the seizure of an omnibus and the erection of a
barricade near the Asylum of the Enfans Trouves.
Charges of cavalry had cleared the streets of obstruc-
tions, but it did not appear that they had been at-
tended with any loss of life. In short, I saw enough to
convince me there was danger for the night. It was
asserted that the journeymen upholsterers and cabinet-
makers were at the head of the movement. On my re-
turn to the Bourse, at half-past two, I found the drum-
mers beating to arms in all directions to call out the
National Guards. I was told that great assemblages
had taken place on 'the southern plains of Paris, near
Villejuif, and that an attack was expected.
Quarter to Five o'Clock,
All is quiet, but the shops are closing in every direc-
tion, and the Boulevards are crowded with military.
The National Guards do not turn out. We have had
a fearful panic on the Bourse. The Fives fell 6f. 25c.
for Cash and for the Account upon Saturday's quota-
tion, and the Threes 3f. 35c. for Cash, and 2f. 85c. for
the Account.

On the Bourse it was rumoured that this fall was
not produced by the emcute, but because war Was con-
sidered inevitable. Indeed it was said that the French
Cabinet would resort to this step or tender their resig-
nations.

Railroad shares all declined considerably.
(From the Correspondence of the Times—same date.)
" This day symptoms of revolt were perceptible at
an early hour in that very formidable quarter the ter-
rible Faubourg St. Antoine,' but down to this moment
the mob have not been able to raise a regular barri-
cade, and without one they can offer no resistance to
the troops. They made several attempts, however, to
construct works' by overturning omnibuses and other
vehicles, but the troops were on the alert and imme-
diately defeated them, making several prisoners.
" The rappel was beaten in all the arrondissements,
and by four o'clock a large detachment from each le.
gion marched on the menaced district. The intended
rioters, intimidated by this immense show of means,
crossed the river (I am informed;, and proceeded for

•
that district equally renowned' in the fastes of the first
7-6 where
" It is more than probable that the measures taken
by Government for repressing any enzeute will be suc-
cessful, but the aspect of the city is more menu„ai!
than at any period since the revolution of 1830. The
whole workiag, population is either iavolved in this af:
fair or predisposed to enter into it. Excitement and
alarm are universal. In many parts of the town the
shops are already closed. , The streets and widows
arc filled with curious.' Under my windows, wheites
ieb
face a cerain Finkle budding, .ire tw9 cavalry vide
of the National Guard.
I make this observation, because one part of tbe
intended programme of he insurgents is said to be to
fire all the theatres, manufactories, and other public
buildings, and make a Moscow of Paris. This is,
however, too atrocious to be credited, and would be
imprac• :cable. In fine, there may be some disturbai
but there is no danger of any geeeral insurrectioo,4
least I hope so."
