THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

THE NATIONAL ASSEMBLY.

iVe have received the Paris papers of yesterday.
In the debate on the subject of Ateliers Nutionaux
M. VICTOR HUGO made a speech which attracted
considerable attention, in consequence of the inuendos
contained in it that the Government were keeping up
these Ateliers Nationaux for purposes of their own.
M. VICTOR HUGO said—
" I do not rise to add to the bitternesi of the division
amongst us ; we are now submitting to a solemn and
decisive proof, and I would not in any wise embarrass
the Government, or create the least obstacle to the birth
of a Republic that we all wish to be great and pure
hereafter, but I must state that which is apparent in the
Ateliers Nationaux, that an immense power is excited at
au entire loss, when the country has most need of la-
bour and capital. The result has never been absolutely
unproductive, but it has been unfortunate : for the idle-
ness of opulence, which existed under the ancient mo-
narchy, the idleness of misery has been substituted,—
fur the idlers of the dynasties the idlers of the republic.
—(Bravos.) I would not impute to the Government an
idea that they have not had ; they could nut transform
into janissaries of disorder for the benefit of a dicta-
torship the honest and intelligent ouvriers of Paris.
Woe to them who could have such an idea, tor on the day
when the people should discover it they would not only
be severe, but they would be terrible. To put an end to
these suspicions, and banish these disasters, the Ateliers
Nationaux must be immediately transformed into a u.e-
ful institution."
The Communists still continue to use the name
of LOUIS NAPOLEON as a rallying cry for the dis-
orderly. The Moniteur du Soir gives the following
account of a collision between the police and the mob
an
of
which took place on Monday :
" On Monday evening numerous crowds were formed
commercer the purpaonsde
on the Place de Motel de Ville, who by degrees began
t exrepvreeisi

n
Louis Napoleon!' they formed i bands,g and commenced
dancing dancing around the tree of liberty,
Car-
magnole,' and crying at intervals ~ivseitningNt e
l
Nous l'aurons.' They afterwards began ouitso
satpoop eothne
people passing, by compelling them to join in the
same
cry. One person, who replied to their demands b
shouting Vivo la
' was very roughly y
handled by them, and shouts were raised of A l'eau le
reactionnaire.' At this moment some gardiens de Paris
c up and rescued him, and endeavoured to disperse
the crowd, but tney were in their turn attacked and so
ill-treaty d that one of them was carried into the'liotel
de Ville in a state of insensibility, and serious fears were
entertained for his life. Strong patrols of the armed
force came to the aid of the police, and by repeated
marches and countermarches dispersed the crowd and
restored order, after making several arrests. Among the
individuals taken into custody, seven or eight o. justice
fthem
were men who had already been in the hands of
for various offences, and they were all found to have
,firms concealed on their persons. They have all been
committed to prison to take their trials."

The Messager has the following :—" A new Pre-
tender is spoken of in the person of the Prince of

LEUCHTENSURG, the son of Prince EUGENE, and a

relation of the Emperor of RUSSIA.".;
