object of which was to recommence a fatal civil war.
At the house of one of the persons arrested were
portable pumps for throwing inflammable essences. It
will be remembered that it was by these horrible
means that, in June, 1848, the barracks of Reuilly
were set on fire."

The ex-representative MIOT, who is in confinement
at Ste. Pelagie, has just received notice that a war-
rant has been obtained against him by the captain-
reporter of the court-martial of the 13th military
division at Bourges, on a charge of being connected
with the insurrection in the Ni4vre.

The famous PORNIN, commonly called the Jambe-
de-Bois, the ex captain of the Montagnards of CAUS.-
SIDIERR, who had hitherto evaded the researches of
the police, has just been arrested.
Several arrests were made on Saturday evening of
persons suspected of having been engaged in the late
insurrection.

We read in the Ordre—" The Pays has stated,
on the authority of an Italian journal, the Palle del
Popolo, that MM. MANIN, CERNUSCHI, MONTA-
NELLI, RICCIARDI, GIANNONE, and CAMBIASCO lost
their lives or been wounded i❑ the late events of
Paris. This news is only true with respect to M.
CAMBIASCO, who, when in the crowd from curiosity,
was struck by a ball and killed."
We find the following in the Pays, relative to M.
DE LAMARTINE
:
" We have received accounts from M. de Lamartine,
whose health, which appeared better for a short time, is
unfortunately threatened with another attack of the com-
plaint which has confined him to his bed for the last two
months. M. tie Lamatine, who has been a stranger to po-
litics since the 2d Dec., has ceased to write from the day
when the Constitution ceased to exist. We cannot but
honour such a resolution. M. de Lamartine is the man of
the 24th February. That date engages his responsibility,
his honour, and his name before posterity. But the
silence of our illustrious friend does not command ours.
Unfortunately for us, having no joint responsibility in
his glory, we have none of the obligations of it. We
have not the right to be silent, even when he has with-
drawn his inspiration and his direction from this journal,
and from all polemics. What he cannot withdraw and
what we retain is, the tradition of a patriotism, which
has never been led astray, of a moderation which has
never been contradicted, and of an independence which
has always respected itself. M. de Lamartine, in a letter
which ho has addressed to us, has thus defined the state
of things :—` I have to preserve and to maintain towards
the public, friend or enemy, the character of a man of
the 24th February. If I allowed the moderate but con-
sistent firmness of that character to be suspected in me,
I should be no longer a man. That exceptional situa-
tion commands me to differ from all those who, having
the same antecedents, have not the same duties.
A very numerous deputation, representing the
different branches of trade and manufactures in Paris,
headed by M. SALLANDROUZE DE LAMORNAII, the
Honorary President of the Parisian Industrial Union,
had on Saturday an interview of the PRESIDE/4T of
the Republic, by whom they were received in the
most gracious manner. M. GAussEN, a shawl manu-
facturer, and member of the International Jury,
addressed Lotus NAPOLEON on behalf of the deputa-
tion as follows :

" Prince,—We have witnessed with happiness the
realization of the memorable words which you addressed
to us on a recent occasion. You have given France se-
curity in the future. We come i❑ the name of a great
part of the manufacturing interest of Paris to express
to you our deep gratitude. You have restored confidence
to us; we owe to you order and labour, which constitute
the strength and wealth of states. We have come,
Prince, to tell you that we place entire faith in your
exalted wisdom, and in your enlightened solicitude for
the true interests of French industry."
Louis NAPOLEON replied as follows :
" Gentlemen,—l am delighted to see that a large por-
tion of the manufacturers of Paris sympathise with the
political measures which the safety of the country ren-
dered necessary. I hope that labour has not been too
much interrupted in your manufactories, and that your
workmen have not taken part in the disturbances which
have occurred. Tell them that my most ardent desire
is to improve their condition, and to favour as much as
possible the development of our fine productions."
The Prince afterwards conversed for some time
with the different members of the deputation,
who retired charmed with his solicitude and affability.
The adhesions of municipal and other public bodies
to the PRESIDENT of the Republic have now become
almost general.
The Minister for Foreign Affairs has introduced a

new system of foreign passport, as follows :
" In the name of the French Republic.—The Minis-
ter for Foreign Affairs requests MIL the Consuls and
diplomatic agents of the nations friendly or allies of
France to permit M to pass, proceeding
to , without permission to return.
" The Minister for Foreign Affairs, TURGOT."
Those permissions are only given to proceed to
England or to the United States. The Minister refuses
them to persons wishing to proceed to the continent of
Europe.

Madrid journals of the 17th inst. have arrived.

The Epoca gives an account of the prosecutions in-
stituted against the Madrid press by the existing
Cabinet, which has not been in power quite a year.
It appears from it that the Europa has been sup-
pressed and fined 30,000 reals ; that the Mundo Nuevo,
the Nurga, and the Tribuua del Populo, have been
repeatedly seized, fined, and have ceased to appear;
the Nacion has been seized eleven times, fined 20,000
reals, and has an editor in prison ; the Herald* has
been seized ten times, is printed under the surveil-
lance of the police, and has one of its editors in pri-
son ; the Constitucional has been seized three times,
and fined 20,000 reels ' • the Epoca seized seven times ;
the Observador, the Catolico, and the blovedades have
also been seized several times. It was said that if
the Cortes did not meet in the course of a short time,
M. ISTURITZ, M. BENALUA, and M. DE AYLLON
would leave at the beginning of January for their
diplomatic posts at London, Berlin, and Vienna. The
accounts from the provinces represent that there was
excessive drought ; in Andalusia and Estramadura
there had been considerable mortality amongst the
cattle, in consequence of it.

The Second Chamber of Prussia ratified on Friday
the commercial treaty of the 7th September with
Hanover. The Hanoverian Chambers, on the other
hand, have demanded a month's delay before ex-
amining it.
The Second Chamber of Hanover, in the sitting of
the 18th, adhered, by 37 votes to 32, to the resolu-
tion of the First Chamber, to the effect that the Mi-
nistry ought to proceed immediately to the execution
of the organic laws.
The Archduke ALBERT, Governor of Hungary, left
Vienna for Pesth on the 17th, charged with legislative
and judicial powers, in addition to the ordinary autho-
rity of the Government.
It appears that the sisters of KossuTir, residing at
Pesth, were arrested on the denunciation of two
students who lodged in the house, in which they
resided, and who, having heard unusual noises in the
rooms at night, denounced the ladies to the police.
One of these honourable and gallant denunciators has
been rewarded with a purse of 200 ducats for his pains.
