THE REVOLT IN MOULTAN.

Since the publication of our Indian news yesterday we
have received intelligence from India of a few hours' later date
of the most gratifying character.
Some short time back we published an account of the suc-
cess obtained by Lieutenant Edwardes over the forces of the
rebel Molraj. We are now enabled to state that what was
before a success is now a triumph. Lieutenant Edwardes
succeeded in crossing the Indus and Chenab, and effecting a
junction with the forces of the Raja of Bhawulpoor. On the
18th of June the united forces came into collision with the
army of Molraj. They awaited his attack, and sustained a
sanguinary conflict of nine hours' duration. The rebel army
were completely defeated, and driven from the field with the
loss of nearly all their artillery, six out of their ten guns re-
maining in the power of the British.
The cause of Molraj is completely lost. Various conjec-
tures were afloat at the time of the departure of the courier as
to the course he would pursue. The utmost he could expect
was to regain his fort in safety, but there is a more probable
and a more Oriental terminationto such a career—either that
the rebel chief will destroy himself or be put to death by his
own people.
The intelligence comes to us on good authority. If it be
true, 83 we suppose, Lieutenant Edwardes will have earned
for himself no mean place in Indian history.—Times.

fifty years of age, and. James Coombes, the brother of the
champion, and Mills and Royal, of Thames-bank, for 10/

and the challenge of their opponents was imme-
diately ac,cepted. The weather was extremely boisterous,
and the water particularly rough in the course they had
selected—from Vauxhall Bridge up round a boat off Mr.
Lenten's, the Old Swan, Battersea, and back—so rough'
indeed, that although the boats in which they rowed were
covered in it was feared by the greater part of the specta-
tors that they would be unable to keep them afloat. They
started at six o'clock, both getting away and well to work
at the same moment, and continued scull and scull up to
Ranelagh House, where, in order to avoid a barge in their
course, Goatly and :his partner went outside and began to
make the shoot over to the Red House. Their adversaries
who bad continued on i!I their straight course, kept near
the Middlesex shore, until off Royal'.
i, the Thames-bank
Pier, before they crossed. At the Red House, Mills and his
partner were three or four lengths ahead, and continued in
advance until their arrival off Cremorne Gardens, when the
win a 1 blew in such terrible gusts that their boat was unable
to live in the rough water and went down, the men sus-
taining no other harm than a ducking, and being imme-
diately taken into a cutter. Goatly and Coombes
rowed the remainder of the distance, to claim at their
leisure.

THE INSURRECTION OF JUNE.
Wi continue the publication of these interesting docu-
rnent:—

DEPOSITION OF M. LEDRU-ROLLIN, MEMBER OF
THE PROVISIONAL GOVERNMENT (JULY 5).
The attempt of the 15th of May had several characters; I
can only give general appreciations. I believe that the
greater number of those who invaded the Assembly had for
their only object to carry there a petition, and to read it at
the bar. They wished to carry it out by force, and were pro-
bably ignorant of the decree of the evening before, which
forbade them to do it. The police was badly conducted I
must confess. At the moment of the invasion, I came to
the rails with M. de Lamartine, and used all my efforts to
prevent the crowd from entering. Some one came to in-
form me that a consilerable mass was proceeding to the
other gate, by the Rue de Burgoyne, and that it was
les defended than the one at which I was. I ran to
that gate. I spoke to the insurgents, and ferced them to
retire; but they entered by the foot of the ball. Blanqui
and R spail had certainly a pre-determined intention of pene-
trating into the interior of the Assembly Barbee seemed to
me to have been excited by degrees. He had been told that
the• e were 300,000 men in the Manifestation ; that it was the
people, the e,n•ereign people. Barbi,4 never f•aw anything
beyond. The people was his idol. Then came Blanqui, a
man who was excessively dangerous, a man of whom I hate
always said that lits heart contained gall and bile instead t•f
b'ood. Iluber pronounced the dissolution. I think that

lilanqui and lluber were agreed together for pronouncing
the dissolution. As for me, I have been shamefully
calumniated. I know .nothing of these projects. My con-
duct during the sitting is known by every one. I was be-
seeched to take the Presidency, but I refused. and my obsti-
nate resistance to the besettings of which I was the object,
is well known. I descended into the court; I was there
met and surrounded by men who wished to conduct me to
the Hotel de:Ville. I declared, "filet they should not bring
me there I even took out a pistol to shoot myself
with, if they did not cease their violence towards me. When
-the hall was closed, I got on horseback along with M. de
Lamartine (I had not even my hat on). They wished to
stop me, saying that there was fighting in that quarter of
Paris. I should have felt it sweet to die for the Republic.
I arrived. I took measures, and caused the arrest of the
factious, who were deliberating very quietly. Caussidiere
had given rue his word of honour, and I trusted in his
loyalty. I have seen Sobrier twice. Sobrier was one
day presented to me. I did not know him more than
many other men of the same kind. I isolated myself.
I belonged to no society, secret or public, having always
had for my principle to conspire only in the face of the
sun. Sobrier came to the Ministry, and complained of
being watched by my orders. He said that they committed
a great mistake in not having confidence in him ; that he
had all possible respect for the Assembly, and that if needful
he would assassinate Bla-4qui, whose intentions were hostile.
The ateliers nationaux were the subject that caused the
gravest pre-occupation to the Government. Towards the
20th of May it was resolved to close them. All the measures
that human prudence commanded were taken for that
purpose, but all the orders given were not strictly
executed. It had been agreed, for example, not to admit
any more into the ateliers. Two mayors of Paris, never-
theless, allowed themselves to inscribe new names, and their
destitution was decreed. You know .that the delegates sent
a deputation to the Executive Commission, and what reply
was made to them by M. Marie ; it was then that we gave
the order for arresting fifty-six delegates and Pujol. This
order was not executed, and the Prefect of Police answered
that he had not their address. As for the events of Jane
23, it has been said that the Executive Commission was
wanting in foresight. I repel this reproach, and declare that
all the measures of precaution had been taken. Our orders
were formal, but they were not executed. Thus, we wished
that the garrison of Paris, and of the Banneue, including the
Garde Mobile, the reinstated Garde Republicaine. and gar-
diens de Paris, should be raised to 60,000 men. As difficnl-

ties were made, this number was reduced, first to 56,000, than
to 50,000, and at last to 45,000 men. General Cavaignac
said that he could not disgarnish the rest of the country.
Twenty thousand men were at last agreed on for Paris, and
5,000 for Versailles, St. Denis, &c., in all 25,000 effective
men. ;Besides, Lamartine proposed to bring up 20,001 men
from the army of the Alps, which was done. I recollect that
the anxiety of M. Lamartine about the strength of the troops
was such, that he frequently demanded how our orders in
that regard had been executed ? There will be a question
some day of knowing whether or not there were really 25,000
men in Paris in the month of June. As for me, I cannot be-

lieve it. From all points of Paris there were complaints on
the 23d of not having enough of troops. We differed es-
sentially on the means of defence to adopt on the 23d of
June. There were two opposing systems. General Cavaignac
required that the army should be under his direction ; that
it should be massed together, and then directed against the
points attacked. The Commission thought, on the
contrary, that it was necessary to attack each barricade as
soon as it should be raised, or even only commenced. It
persisted for a long time in its opinion, and only yielded
with regret in abandoning to General Cavaignac the conti-
nuation of the military operations, while it retired to the
Presidency where it might co-operate with him. Towards
hall past three o'clock General Cavaignac went out to see
how things were going on ; he was to be absent but for one
hour at most. He did not return till nearly nine o'clock at
night, and I shall never be able to tell of the tortures I
suffered dining his absence. All the mayors of Paris sent
to me to demand reinforcements; they all complained of not
seeing any troops; the National Guard cried out treason, and
I was there alone—alone at the Presidency, in mortal and
indecisive anxiety. Iu the absence of my colleagues, I took
upon myself to write to the Prefects to demand all the
forces, without distinction, which were in the neigh-
bourhood of Paris. I dispatched orders to Admiral Casy for
him to demand troops immediately from 13rest and Cher-
bourg. At the return of General Cavaignac, I avow I
showed great vivacity. From all I have said, I think I can
conclude that there were not more than eight or ten thousand
men engaged in Paris on the first day of the insurrec-
tion. It is at least certain that having asked General
Cavaignac, towards two o'clock in the morning, how
many troops there were in Paris, he answered me that
he did not know. My advice was to recommence the attack
at daybreak, and to send two battalions to General Damesne.
General Cavaignac was not of the same opinion. They com-
menced to skirmish about three o'clock in the morning. The
accusations brought against us, in consequence of the absence
of troops, were such, that an officer came to tell that the com-
mission was loudly accused of treason, and that they must
be shot. Events seemed to me so serious, that I was obliged

to think of employing cannon. I ordered guns to be brought
from Vincennes. The cavalry left at eleven o'clock to get
them. Ilv what fatality was it that they did not return till
next morning near ten o'clock? In truth, it Is difficult to
understand how eleven hours were necessary to go to Vin-
cennes and to return. Colonel Martinprey was charged with
this expedition, and was to bring back with him two infantry
regiments, which were at Vincennes. General Cavaignac
said, "The honour of the army requires that I should persist
in my system. If one only of my companies be disarmed, I
shall shoot myself ; let the National Guard attack the barri-
cades ; if they are beaten, I would prefer to retire into the
plain of Saint Denis, and there give battle to the emeute."
Q. To what cause do you attribute the absence of the
20,000 men, on whose presence the Executive Commission
thought they could count?
A. I cannot say. I lived in the conviction that 20,000
men were in Paris.
Q. What is your opinion on the situation of Paris, and on
the attitude of that portion of the population which took
part in the emeute ?
A. I think that if prompt measures be not
taken, the contest will recommence. It is necessary to
revive credit, labour, and industry. This opinion I held in
the Provisional Government, where I was in a minority.
Garnier-Pages has been an obstacle. He thought it neces-
sary to administer the finances of the Republic as in ordi-
nary times. (M. Ledru-Rollin enters here into detailed dis-
quisition on the finances. He cites the measures taken by
the French Republic from 1790 to 1791. He says that it was
then necessary to create 1,700,000,000 of paper money. He
recalls the recollection of the creation of the territorial mun-
dates, which amounted to no less than two milliards,
700,010,000. The necessities of this epoch, regard being
had to the actual value of money, will require a measure of
the same nature, and on a much greater scale. According
to him, paper money is the only means of saving the
finances of the country.)
DEPOSITION OF GENERAL CAVAIGNAC, PRESI-
DENT OF THE COUNCIL (Jita' 11).
General Cavaignac, President of the Council, declares, first
of all, that he does not appear before the Commission to
justify himself, even should that appear necessary in conse-
quence of certain depositions. He has, in truth, but little
anxiety as far as he himself is concerned; but the dignity of
his position would not allow him to accept of the debate on
such a ground ; and far from defending himself, he should
not hesitate to cover with his own responsibility those who
acted under his orders.
The President immediately observed that the impressions
of the President of the Coma are in no manner biassed by
the testimony already received. The wish of the Commission
of Investigation is to receive from him such information as
may enlighten it in its mission. •
After this explanation, the President of the Council gave

some explanations.
The figures given by the Minister of War were correct.
There were about 30,000 men in Paris, or the immediate
neighbourhood. The system of defence adopted by the
General in the days of June, were based on the conviction
that it would be dangerous to distribute the troops. The
experience of July, 1830, and February, 1848, made him feel
the necessity of not engaging the military in the streets, but
to keep them tcgether in a body strong enough to enable
tilt. to make the insurgents give way before them. The '
slightest check to an army is fatal in cases of this descrip-
tion; notwithstanding- the most formal orders, a battalion
was placed at great risk on the Place des Vosges, in a com-
promising position, which incurred a severe reprimand from
the Minister of War, notwithstanding the incontestible bra-
very of the commander and men of that battalion. A second
example occurred, which might have been attended with the
most serious consequences : above all things, to insure the
safety of the honour of the flag is the sure guarantee of defi-
nitive success. The result of the events confirmed this
opinion.
On the day of the 23d, added General Cavaignac, Iwas
only then Minister of lfrar, it W3S surely in my own option to
court death if I thought fit; I proceeded in the direction of
the Faubourg du Temple, which was menaced: General La-
moriciere accompanied me.
On a question put specially by the President, General
Cavaignac replied that the regiment of engineers from Arras
was only sent for during the last days of the struggle, and
that there was no resistance mane, no delay in the execution
of the orders given.

TESTIMONY OF GENERAL LAINIORICIERE (Jinx 11).
I have nothing particular to tell you respecting the causes
of the attentats. If the insurrection had succeeded, it
would have been the loss of a battle of society (bataille
sociale), and the triumph of the programme of the 15th of
May.
I have no doubt whatever that in the ateliers nationaus
there was a culpable understanding with the insurrection. I
am morally convinced of it. Moreover, at the barricades of
St. Martin, I beheld some of the directors (centre maitres)
of the ateliers nati•naux I saw permits of free passage,
signed " LALANNE." Many individuals were arrested
bearers of money and cartridges. I have requested General
d'Artois to draw up a report of these facts. I shall send it
to you.
M. Flottard ordered two individuals of the Ecole Centrale
to be set at liberty. They were bearers of money. I was
afterwards informed that one of them changed his domicile
secretly in the night.
I was struck with the military skill which had been em-
ployed in the construction of the barricades; and I must say
that, to suppress the insurrection, I was happy in finding the
admirable devotion of the National Guard, the Guard Mobile,
and the army. The assistance of the pompiers was of the
greatest service to me. I may here mention an incident that
occurred. A Lieutenant-Colonel of the National Guurd came
to me, demanding assistance to suppress a conflagration
which had burst out behind the barricades. I sent a body
of pompiers, who put out the fire ; and as they returned the
insurgents fired upon them, killing two, and wounding three.
I have heard many regrets expressed, that there were not
more troops in Paris. It must be remembered that too large
a display of troops in Paris at that moment would have raised
a universal cry against the Government, that it would have
been accused of provoking the people.
What made the struggle so long was, that measures were

not resorted to on the very first day, as are usually adopted
in a city taken by assault. From the moment that circum
stances allowed it, and even rendered such steps necessary,
the whole aspect of affairs was immediately changed.
A great change, moreover, was visible when the reprcen-
tatives joined us. They kept up the moral courage in the ranks.
Wa immediately regained the upper hand, and did not sustain
much loss.

We had abundance of ammunition. We fired about two
million cartridges. I must explain why I complained of the
want of mortars. I had batteries enough, but as each bat-
tery consists generally of two mortars and four guns, mortars
were therefore expected, whilst each battery consisted of six
guns without the mortars. It was Montpeasier who made
this change, by suppressing the two mortars. General
Cavaignac, not aware of this circumstance, could not account
for my reiterated demands.

STATE OF THE MANUFAC-
TURING DISTRICTS.

ASUTON, MONDAT.--The authorities here have spent
another anxious and harassing night. The military have
been under arms, divisions of county police and special con-
stables have been held in readiness at the Town-hall, and
armed patrol, both foot and mounted, have sceirred the bo-
rough and its environs from hour to hour. The nature of
intelligence in the hands of the magistrates, It is said, will
justify the same precautions and the same harassing vigils
again to-night. It is said that on Saturday night, after all
the precautions taken, and all the watching, the Chartists ur
Confederates held a midnight meeting, but it was beyond the

mere precincts of the towil. According to the information
received of it, the meeting took place near Droylsden, about
three miles from Ashton, and the same distance from Man-
chester. Shots were heard from time to time in various di-
rections again last night, and it is conjectured that these,
and rockets which are occasionally thrown up, are used by
the virties as signals. The policemen who were bound over
to give evidence against M'Douall, the Chartist leader, and
against the four men in custody as implicated in the outrage
of Monday night, the 14th instant, have received summonses
to appear this afternoon before the grand jury at Liverpool
assizes, and their :removal to Liverpool for a few days will
take away from the sympathisers with 111•Douall the temp-
tation to revenge, and their power to destroy the evidence,
which was said to have been their incitement to the murder.
At Manchester the Confederates continue to hold meet-
ings, and at several of them the men apprehended on Tues-
day night, and liberated on bail, addressed the audience. At
a meeting in the Heyrod-street Institution, a building of
their own, on Sunday night, one of those parties, an IriA-
man, named Donovan, repeated a story he had very hu-
morously told several nights before, about his apprehension,
and the collision between the police and his wife, which, he
assured his audience, was about the warmest engagement he
bad ever entertained any idea they should witness in their
struggle for the charter. The police, he said, told him they
wanted his arms. His reply was that he had a wife and
family, and his arms were necessary to earn bread for them.
They en explained that it was the fire-arms they wanted.
"Oh, the fire-arms," was his rejoinder, "if it was the
tongs or poker they were after, they belonged to his wife's
department of the household business," and sure enough
the wife was not inclined to capitulate without making
them rather hot to handle. He denied that either he or his
associates were in any way implicated in or had any
knowledge of what was going to take place at Ashton. They
had not counselled physical force, nor been privy to its
use. He did not deny that the parties to that affair were
Chartists, and fools would always be found in any agitation.
The Manchester authorities, however, had missed their way
—there seemed to be a conspiracy amongst the magistrates
and not amongst the Chartists, and it was a conspiracy
against all the moral force men they could lay their hands
upon. He assured his friends that so soon as Wednesday's
examination before the magistrates was over, and they were
set at liberty--as set at liberty they assuredly would be—not
a moment's time would be lost in taking steps for an action
against their prosecutors for false imprisonment.—Up to yes-
terday evening all was quiet in Manchester, nor was any dis-
turbance apprehended.
COMMITTAL OF THE POLITICAL PRISONERS AT LIVERPOOL.

—Yesterday Murphy and O'Brien, who had been remanded
en charges of conspiracy, were brought up for re-examina-
tion. Against O'Brien further corroboratory evidence was
adduced, and he was committed for ttial. The evidence
against Murphy was strengthened by a person who lived
opposite to him swearing that he saw him, through his bed-
room window, examining a number of pikes. This and the
other evidence having been gone over, Murphy was also
committed for trial.
