PARIS, Feb. 8.

The Gazette des 7 ribunaux states that M. Roche-
fort was arrested last night at eight o'clock, as he
was about to enter the Public-meeting Hall in the
Rue de Flandres. Ile made no resistance, but, on
the contrary, said to the bystanders at the en-
trance : "Remain quiet, citizens. I shall soon return
to the meeting." After this the Commissary of the
Police and his assistants accompanied M. Rochefort
to a carriage, and conducted him to the prison of
St. Pelagic.
Just after the arrest M. Florviens, who was pre-
sent, stepped forward, aryl unsheathing the blade
from a sword-cane, shouted, " Rochefort must be
set free." It is asserted that he fired two or three
shots from a revolver, and that others followed his
example. Luckily, however, no one was wounded.
At the same time the Commissary of Police, who
was preient at the meeting inside the House, de-
clared the meeting dissolved. He was immediately
surrounded and drawn into the street, and threat-
ened with death. For upwards of an hour he was
exposed to insults awl menaces, but was finally res-
cued by police agents.
About 10 o'clock numerous mobs of people ap-
peared in the Rue Aboukir, but no serious dis-
order is reported.
Half au hour later an attempt was made to throw
up barricades in the Faubourg du Temple, and also
in the neighbourhood of the Courcine Barracks.
Carriages and omnibuses were upset, hut the pre-
sence of the police sufficed to disperse the rioters.

About the same time six omnibuses had been
overturned in the Rue de Paris, at Belleville, and
a somewhat imposing barricade was thus formed.
At one o'clock this morning strong detachments
of the Garde de Paris and bodies of infantry and
cavalry proceeded to Belleville.
The Boulevards at the same early hour presented
a rather animated spectacle, yet no disorder has

taken place.
Large bodies of police are mr.se.l together at

the entrance of the Faubourg Montmartre.
At the barricade which was erected early this
morning in the Rue de Paris, at Belleville, fifteen
individuals engaged in erecting it were arrested.
A commissary of police, named Lombard, was
wounded on the left side of big chest by a bayonet
thrust. Some distance from this a sergeut de ville
was struck in the breast by a revolver. At half-
past 12 this morning the rioters broke into the gun
shop of M. Lefaucheux, Rue Lafayette, and de-
camped with 40 guns and 300 revolvers. Nume-
rous arrests have taken place, and the first batch
of prisoners taken to the Prefecture de Police
amounts to 200. The barricades are guarded by
troops of the line and the police.
