" FRENCH REPUBLIC.

" In the name of the French people 1
" The President of the Council charged with the exe-
cutive power determines :
" The Citizen Vaulabelle is appointed Minister of
Public Instruction, in place of the Citizen Carnot, whose
resignation is accepted.
" The President of the Council, CAVAIGNAC.
" The Minister of Justice, Bethmont.
" Paris, July 5, 1843,"
General BEDEAU continues to refuse to accept the
office of Foreign Minister.
The Gazette des Tribunaux says

" There have been found upon one of the insurgents
sufficient evidences of the means by which it was intended
that the insurrection should reach the National Assembly.
The chiefs of the barricades were to assemble in the
Quartier Saint Lazare, near the railroad. They were to
cut off the Rue du Havre and the Rue du Tronchet, and
having made themselves masters of the barracks of the
Assumption, cut off also the Rue Nationale (Royale),
and thence menace the Assembly, while other columns
were to advance upon it, with the same system of barri-
cades, at the Place de Bourgogne. But it appears that the
alertness with which the Ist, 2d, and 10th Legions turned
out and mustered, prevented the insurrection from coin-
mencing its attack at these different points at the same
time as in the Quartiers Poissonniere, Saint Antoine,
and Saint Jacques.
The Moniteur de 11 Armee says—

" In no battle of the Republic or the empire, with the
exception of the battle of Moscow, the most sanguinary
of modern times, were so many generals and superior
officers killed and wounded as in the four days of the
late insurrection in Paris, in which four generals were
killed and seven wounded. At the late battle of Arcole,
which lasted three days, only one general was killed and
six wounded ; at Marengo only one general lost his life,
and four only were wounded. At the battle of Auster-
litz only one general was killed and six were wounded.
At Wagram two generals only were killed and seven
wounded ; and at Waterloo only one general officer tell
on the field of battle ; the other was killed by the Rus-
sians after the combat."

The Message" says that during the first days of
the insurrection a great number of houses on the
Boulevards in the Rue Neuve des Petits Champs
(amongst them that of a jeweller), and in the
Quartier de la Madeleine, were marked with a red
cross.

The seizures of arms still continue.
The wound of General DUVIVIER is going so un-
favourably that amputation has become necessary.
The prisoners detained in the dungeons of the bar-
racks in the Rue de Tournon managed to tunnel
through to the catacombs which extend under Paris.
About 100 of them entered the catacombs, but the
others remained, fearing they might be lost in the
darkness amidst the intricate passagas which extend
for miles under ground. These unfortunate persons
have not been seen or heard of since. They have not
made their escape from the catacombs by the usual
places of ingress and egress, and the searches that have
been made after them have been hitherto unsuccessful.
Torches, however, have been left burning in the cata-
combs, to direct them on their way, but the proba-
bility is that the whole of them will perish from star-
vation.
In the Bureaug the question of the expropriation
of the railways was again brought forward, and the
Minister of Finance was strongly urged to declare
explicitly whether or not the proposed expropriation
was definitively abandoned, or only postponed. The
answer of the Minister implied that the State main-
tained the right of expropriation, but only intended
to exercise it with the acluiescence of the companies ;
