THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, JULY 8, 1848.

days of revolution. Truth will one day do justice to
each. lam not impatient of justice, for I have no fear
of its decision.

"I have, however, just read in your number of the 6th
a fragment of an article borrowed from the Debats, in
which the following mad calumnies are put forth :
" During the latter days of February the pavement
had been scarcely replaced when the new Government
thought of again raising barricades against the National
Guard, and against the part of the population which it
belkved to be actuated by a spirit of re-action, an accu-
sation which struck at all lovers of social order. A
battalion of barricade builders was formed, the members
of which were to serve as instructors in (different quar-
ters, and thus to make known the theory of that kind of
defence. These barricades were marked out on a plan
of Paris, and the edifices and monuments were also
pointed out which were to be formed into central for-
tresses. No one can, therefore, be astonished at the
skilful combinations displayed by the insurgents of Jane;
they followed a plan traced out by the Government.'
" I avow that, for the first time, the perusal of these
odious lines made me break that silence which I had im-
posed on myself until the moment for explanation should
arrive. To see myself thus transformed into a professor
of civil war, and a preparer of means of carnage—l, who
every day during the last four months presented my
breast, in order to spare the blood of my fellow-citizens!
There is no reply to make to such a charge. There is
only a cry of indignation, which I utter from the bottom
of my soul, and which I beg of ;you to enregister.—Re-
ceive, Monsieur, &c.,

" LA MARTINE,
" Ex-Member of the Provisional Government and
of the Executive Committee."

The Journal des _Wats acknowledges the receipt
of a similar communication, but states that it arrived
too late for publication.
The Constitutionnel publishes a long speech made
by M. THEIRS in the Committee on the Constitution,
in favour of a second Chamber, in the course of which
he stated, that when in 1830 he, in conjunction with
others, proposed to Lours PHILIPPE the establishment
of an hereditary peerage, they found LOUIS PHILIPPE
as much opposed to it as M. ARMAND CARREL him-
self.

The Constitutionnel says that General BEDEAU has
not refused the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, but
that his wound is more serious than had been at
first imagined, although his life is not considered in
danger.

General DAMESME, who underwent amputation, is
going on favourably, but General DUVIVIER is con-
sidered to be in great danger.
M. THEODORE ALBERT, who accompanied the late
Archbishop of PARIS to the barricades, carrying be-
fore him the palm branch, has published the following
interesting account of the circumstances attending the
death of the martyred Prelate
:
An actor in one of the most sorrowful scenes which
have deluged Paris in blood, I should not have thought
of intruding myself on public notice, if truth had not
been sacrificed, and a statement made that I had put the
police in the trace of the murderer of the Archbishop. It
was only at the Place de l'Arsenal that I learned from
the mouth of the Prelate his holy resolution. Having
demanded some one to precede him and announce him
to the insurgents, I immediately offered. A superior
officer having said that with this mission neither a mili-
tary man nor a National Guard should be intrusted,
I put off my uniform, and took a blouse and a cap.
I attached also to the flag-staff of a flag which
had been taken from the insurgents a branch of
a tree, and I marched preceding Monseigneur and
his two vicars, MM. Jacquemet and Ravinet. The
Place de la Bastille was deserted. Arrived at the bar-
ricade, I proclaimed the arrival of the Archbishop of
Paris. The prelate followed me alone, his servant
having been pushed into the shop of a wine merchant,
and the vicars being separated by the sudden invasion
of the place and the quarrels which they were trying to
appease. I waved my branch of peace and went near
Monseigneur, who walked very slowly on account of the
state of the pavement. Extending his hand, he cried,
Mes amis, mes amis!' but he could scarcely be heard,
the noise on all sides was so great. I conducted him to
a place in which the pavement had not been broken
up, between two barricades. When arrived at
the door of the first shop, No. 4, the Arch-
bishop staggered, and falling into my arms, said,
'My friend, 1 am wounded ! ' His countenance re•
mained so cairn that I thought his wound slight.
Assisted by some insurgents, I carried him inei the
shoe. The fusillade recommenced, and the insurgents
surrounded us with great demonstrations of grief. The
fusillade about us was terrible—the Prelate only com-
plained of bis legs, which I supported. An insurgent
now said to me, looking at the Prelate, The scoun-
drel who killed him I would have shot it they would
have let me I' This man repeated this several times
energetically. If I should see him again I should re-
member him, and then we may learn the name of the
assassin. We could soon have left the shop No. 26, the
insurgents and a woman having brought us a mattress,
a sheet, and a pillow; but the litter we had made with
muskets was incessantly unmade to clear the barricades
which were on the route of the Quinze Vingts. For-
getting his own sufferings, he only appeared to think of
those of his faithful servant who was wounded. The
little door of the Quinze-Vingts was opened for us, the
curate of St. Antoine soon arrived and wished us to
carry the Prelate into his apartment, where he was placed
on a rnattrass in the salon. the insurgents retired, and
j the Prelate asked for his private secretary, Dr. Cayol,
' and his servant Cyprien. I offered to fetch them, and
whilst the cuisi of St. Antoine wrote a laisicz passer
, motive,' the Abt d Roux asked to accompany me, and
we passed the Rue St. Antoine. The concierge was
uneasy as to his master; we directed him to fetch the
doctor, and we ourselves took with us the secretary and
the servant. On our return MM. Jacquettet and Ra-
vinct, who had rtjoined the Archbishop, though with
much delver, informed him of tha gravity of his wounds.
The two servants burst into tears. Pierre, the servant,
who was wounded, crept to the bed of the prelate, who
asked his servants to pardon the little irritation he had
occasionally exhibited towards them, and gave them his
benediction. Whilst I kissed his hands he told the
vicars to give me a little remembrance of him, on which
they said he had himself better give it. I was present
at the sacrament, but geeing that I could be no further
useful, I retired, when M. l'Abbe Roux lent me a sur-
plice with whit h I could the more easily pass, as a
priest, the advanced posts of the army."
Admiral TREHOLTART has been appointed to the
command of the Mediterranean fleet in the room of
Admiral BAUDIN.__

Prince LOUIS NAPOLEON has, it is said, declined
taking his seat for Ajaccio in the National Assembly.
The Moniteur publishes a notice to the editors of
journals, infOrming them that no newspaper will be
allowed to appear after the 12th of July, unless the
proprietor has previously deposited the security in
money required by the law of December, 1830.
The funeral of the Archbishop of PARIS took place
yesterday in the cathedral of Notre Dame. It was
attended by the Ministers, the National Assembly,
and the clergy.
Lieutenant-Colonel CONSTANTIN, who had been
appointed in conjunction with Colonel BERTRAND to
inquire into the insurrection of the 231 June, was
yesterday arrested, it having been proved that on
the 24th he took part with the insurgents and
directed. their operations. He was chef de cabinet to
General SEHERVIE and to M. ARAGO.
The iWoniteur does not contain the usual weekly
statement of the Bank of France.
BOURSE--PARIS, FRIDAY, JULY 7.
THREE o'CLock.—The Bourse was exceedingly ani-
mated to-day, and the rise which commenced two days
ago made greater progress than on either of the previous
days. The sensible and moderate measures proposed by
M. Goudchaux, and the confidence felt by the mercantile
woild, that the wild schemes of MM. Gamier Pages
asd Duclere will not be renewed, is the only cause of
this great rise, for in other matters the country is just
where it was. For the Account the French Three per
Cents. have risen 21. ; Five per Cents. have risen
3f. 50c. For Money, the Three per Cents. have risen
2f., and the Five per Cents. 4f. ; Bons du Tro4or are at
7i discount ; Bank of France Shares have risen 180 f. ;
Belgian Bank Shares not quoted ; Two-and-a-Half per
Cents. have risen 7f.; Spanish Active not quoted ;
Roman has risen 21. ; Rothschild's receipt not quoted.
Railway Shares for the Account, settling of July 15,
which had not been done during that settling, have risen
greatly. For cash the Orleans have risen 140 f., for
Rouen 771.50 c. Versailles right bank 15f. ; left bank,
