MONDAY EVENING, JULY lO, 1848.

la Concorde to the Bastile, by the line of the Boule-
vards, to be abandoned. We know not what foundation
there may be in the rumours which have circulated on
the subject—rumours exaggerated as usual, and to such
an extent that nothing less was talked of than that
whole quarters were mined, and were to be blown up
with the Executive Government, the Assembly, the
magistracy, and all the bodies forming part of the cor-
Lye. What appears certain is, that the very minute and
very extensive investigations that have taken place have
produced no serious result, and that if numerous arrests
were effeoted on Thursday and yesterday, they arose
from precautionary circumstances."
GENERAL DUVIVIER died of his wounds on Friday
evening.
Attempts at assassinating isolated sentinels continue
to be made by the defeated Communists. On Friday
night a sentinel posted at the Chateau Rouge was
fired at and wounded. He returned the fire, and shot
the assassin dead. The sentinel has since died of his
wounds.

Trade and commerce seem reviving. The C'muti-
tutionnel says—
" We have the satisfaction of being able to announce
that building works are not the only ones that have been
resumed. Various establishments have recommenced
work. Laborious workmen appear already restored to•
their habits and to the confidence which united them to
their employers. The country districts in the neigh-
bourhood 01 Paris also see a number of men returning,
who had gone to seek for better wages in the capital.
The result will be that this year it will not be necessary
to have recourse to foreign aid fur certain harvest work,
such as mowing. for instance, which is generally executed
by Belgian woikmen."
We mentioned on Saturday the fact that the
funeral of the Archbishop of PARIS had taken place
on Friday at Notre Dame.
The clergymen of the two Protestant churches of
the capital expressed a desire to be present at the
funeral of the Archbishop of PARIS, and so to pay a
just homage to his memory. They charged their
colleague, 111- COQUEREL, to wait on the Abbe
JAQUEMET, first grand-vicar, to express to him the
sentiments of the Protestant clergymen, and to inform
him of their intention to follow the funeral proces-
sion from the palace to the cathedral, if he could
assign them a place, which should conciliate the
scruples of their faith with the rules of Catholic wor-
ship. The Abb6 JAQUEMET received M. COQUEREL
most politely, bat expressed his regret that the Ca-
tholic religious ceremony being fixed both for the
moment of taking up the body and during the pas-
sage to the church, it became impossible to assign a
place to the clergy of the Protestant communions.
The Grand Vicar charged: M. COQUEREL to ex-
press to his colleagues how grateful he felt for the
homage which was thus paid to the memory of the
deceased prelate.
M. SIBOURE, Bishop of Dijon, is to be the new
Archbishop of Paris.
The funeral of M. DE CHATEAUBRI AND took place
on Saturday in the church of the Missions Etran-
geres, in presence of the members of the French
Academy, and an immense concourse of political and
literary notabilities. Messrs. Hyde de Neuville,
Tabun, Ampere, and Rosambeau, held the pall, and
among the assistants were Prince Caartorisky, Messrs!
Mole, Decazes, Beranger, Berryer, Dupin, Victor
Hugo, Balzac, Alexandre Dumas, &c. M. Patin!
director of the French Academy, pronounced the
funeral oration of the illustrious deceased, and his
remains were afterwards deposited in the vaults of
the church, from whence they are to be removed to
St. Melo, where they are to be interred on one of the
arid and solitary rocks situ ate at the entrance on the
roads.

The Assembly did not meet on Saturday, but se-
veral important discussions took place in the Bureaux.
The question of " Two Chambers" was very warmly
discussed in several of the Bureaux on the constitu-
tion, and in the 14th it was carried by 26 against 10•
The 12th Bureau unanimously resolved to remodel,
the preamble of the constitution as follows :—" Thel
Republic recognising for its dogma liberty, equality
and fraternity, and for its basis family, property
and public order."
In the 10th Bureau M. CORMENIN proposed the ap-
pointment of a permanent Committee of 78 to repre-
sent the Assembly during its adjournments.
The Committee of the National Assembly on labour
have resolved that individuals who, by ill-treatment,
menaces, or acts of intimidation, should attempt
to prevent labourers from working, or masters from
employing labourers, should be liable to an imprison-
ment of from six days to six months, and to a fine of
from :45f. to 500 f. Their accomplices are to incur
aniue penalty.
The Minister of Agriculture and Commerce has
addressed to the Prefects of the departments a cir-
cular, in which he recommends them to do every-
thing possible for the encouragement of agriculture.
He says—
" The greatest part of the glorious mission of conso-
lidating social order, which has been assailed by insen-
sate doctrines and attacks, has now devolved upon
agriculture. To combat the force of attraction exer-
cised by towns over the rural districts, to regulate the
rash movement which takes from agricultural industry
and gives to manufactures a force, the exuberance of
which, at certain moments, causes financial crises and
sanguinary collisions; to direct to each branch of labour
the true degree of activity required, with a view to the
benefit of all and the amelioration of each, such is the
object proposed by my department, and for which your
co-operation is called for."
The national workshops for women were included
in the decree dissolving the establishments generally
in the department of the Seine. Twenty-five thou-
sand women are thus left without occupation. The
resources left at the disposal of the mayors are insuf-
ficient to give them the succour which they are entit
led to, that succour consisting of two pounds of bread
each per day, whatever may be the family of the
women so receiving aid. This state of things has
caused about 400 of these women to wait on the Mi-
nister of Public Works to demand assistance. M.
RECURT, having learned that several of them had

large families, led them to hope that the propositions
which he intended making in their favour to the
Committee of Labour would be approved of, and that
the workshops might be again opened.
The National publishes the following letter from
M. DORNES, representative of the people:—
" The Republic, through the National Assembly, has
charged itself with the families of the citizens killed and
wounded for the defence of order and the laws; and if I
have regretted my wound, it was when it prevented me
post, to associate myself with aom being at my
mea-
sure which honours so many generous devotednesses,
which recompenses so many noble services rendered in
concert by the National Guard, sedentary and mobile,
and by the army. But, this debt being paid, as it ought
to be, by the country, do not misfortunes to r-lieve
whatever may be their origin, remain among us? What
will become of the wives and children of the killed,
wounded, or imprisoned insurgents? And is not that a
case in which magnanimity, forgetful of civil discords,
ought to intervene? Would it not be right to form a
commission in the mairies to organize assistance in favour
of families left without support? No one certainly can
mistake the spirit of this proposition."
By a decree of the President of the Council of
Ministers, charged with the Executive Power, the
following Municipal and Departmental Council,
charged with the functions attributed to the Council
General of the Seine and the Municipal Council of
Paris, has been appointed :—MM. Arago, Chevalier,
Delestre, Dupiirier, Galls, Horace Say, Skgalas, E.
Thayer, Thierry, Considgrant, Mortimer Ternaux,
Boulay (de la Meurthe), Lanquetin, Riant, all mem-
bers of the former Council ; MM. Buchez, Lanquetin,
Vaulabelle, Ferdinand de Lasteyrie, Vavin, Guinard,
Peupin, Garnon, Liouville, Chevallon, Moreau,
Boissel, Pian, and Boulatignier, representatives of
the people ; MM. Philippe Lebas, Litt* and Pe-
louse, members of the Institute ; M. Duvergier,
advocate ; MM. Outin and Bourdon ; and Ramond
de la Croisette, Colonel of the 4th Legion of the
National Guard.

The Dineocratie reports that M. CADET has written
to the Chief of the Executive Power, demanding
Government ships to convey him, with a colony of
Teal ians, to Texas.

M. SENARD, Minister of the Interior, has issued
circulars to all the Prefects, cautioning them against
suffering anything in the shape of Propagandism to
take place. All the foreign legions—the Poles per-
haps excepted—now in France are to be dissolved.
Everything, in feet, is to be done to prove good faith
and a sincere desire to remain at peace on the part of
the French Government.

The Commissioners of Inquiry into the events of
June have, from the examination of various
persons, been enabled to procure an exact
account of the circumstances attending the mur-
der of General Da BREA and his aide-de-
camp, Captain Ala.uutN, that previously pub-
lished. When the General reached the insurgents in
the barricade, they replied by imprecations and threats
to his exhortations, and proceeded to acts of violence
which would probably have caused his death if he had
not succeeded in escaping to a souse occupied by a

) person named GODEPROY, No. 12, Barriere d'ltalie.
He was followed there by an officer of the National
Guard, who had just time to close the door before a
number of the insurgents arrived. A horse-dealer,
who happened to be in the house, took off his blouse
and threw it over the uniform of the General, and a
cap was given to him. He was then led to the gar-
den, and was in the act of getting over the wall, when
the assailants having broken open the door rushed in,
and dragged him back. Some of them discharged their
muskets at him, but without touching him. The
crowd was greatly exasperated, and they handled the
General so roughly, that he uttered complaints. He
was dragged rather than led to the second story, and
there he attempted to induce the crowd to adopt
better sentiments, but without success. Some of the
chiefs proposed to make him sign a promise to pay
a sum of money for his liberty, but this was aban -
doned, and he was told that he must make the
troops lay down their arms, or he himself should
die. "I would sooner die a hundred times," said the
General, " than accept such conditions." Meanwhile
the Mayor arrived, and endeavoured to calm the
infuriated crowd, but he was ill-treated. On
making his way to the General, he found him
occupied in drawing up a proclamation to the in-
surgents, telling them that the law was victorious,
that for the sake of humanity they ought to cease
their impious struggle, and that he would promise
that none of them should be punished for offences
previously committed. The Mayor took the procla-
mation to the room beneath, and read it from the
window. But his voice was not heard in the tumult.
An officer of the National Guard then showed the
crowd the swords of the General and the Aides-de-
camp, saying, that they were prisoners, and that
they ought to be kept as hostages. But there were
cries from all parts that the General should be put
to death. He was then seized and dragged to
the guard-house of the Barriere d'ltalie. Some
of the insurgents frequently ordered the Aide-de-
camp to go away and offered to facilitate his escape,
but he said that it would be base in him to abandon
the General, and that if he were to be killed he would
die too. A description of the manner in welch the
two unfortunate men were treated and slain in the
guard-house, has already appeared. Six of the
wretches who were the most active in this deed of
blood are in the hands of justice, as is also a seventh,
who was arrested in the house of the Mayor, where
he had hidden himself in a cask. This man, it is said,
excited the others to the murder of General BREA, by
stating that he was General CAvAiGrue who had
caused the people to be shot on the barricades. All
these men will soon be brought to trial before a
court-martial.
The following are the particulars of the arrest of
Major CONSTANTIN

" Major Constantin, one of the officers charged with
the investigation of the facts connected with the con-
spiracy of June, had been arrested. He was in.errogat-
ing one of the insurgents, and treating him somewhat
harshly, when the latter asked him if he was not M.
Constantin, who was to be appointed Minister of War
had the insurrection succeeded, and who repeatedly came
to encourage them at the barricades, dressed in a blouse
and casquette. M. Constantin attempted no defence,
and several other insurgents having recognised him, and
confirmed the statement of their comrade, the Colonel
presiding over the Council of War ordered him to be
arrested. M. Constantin inhabited the Faubourg St.
Antoine, and was chief of the Cabinet of the Ministry
of War, under General Subervie."
Paris continued perfectly tranquil up to eight
o'clock last evening, and things appeared to be resum-
ing their usual course. The public gardens and
Franconi's Circus in the Champs Elysees had been
opened for the first time since the days of June, and
the theatres were all to open on the following evening.
The following is the weekly statement of the state
of the Bank of France on the evening of the 7th of
July :
