the justice which is due to them for the firmness, spirit,
and discipline which they constantly displayed. Officers
and soldiers, they all comprehend what the country and
society expected from them at that solemn moment, and
all nobly did their duty. I have in particular to praise
the energetic co-operation of the general officers under
my orders. All followed my instructions with an intel-
ligence and devotedness which penetrate me with the
liveliest gratitude; everywhere they showed to the
troops the way which they so nobly followed. ijiafortu-
nately, operations, so complicated, could not be executed
without sensible loss. We had in these two days 25
men killed, of whom 1 was an officer; and 184 wounded,
of whom 17 were officers; of this number was Colonel
Quince, of the 72d Regiment of the line, who had his
arm transpierced by a ball, at the same time as his
Lieutenant-Colonel M. Loubean fell at his side, mor-
tally wounded. The whole army joined in the regret
which the loss of this superior officer, of the greatest dis-
tinction, caused in the 72d. The numerical smallness of
our loss, compared to that of the insurgents, is owing to
the energy with which all the obstacles were attacked by
our men, and the determination with which the insur-
rection was put down. In two hours of combat the army
obtained the result which it desired—it worthily justified
the confidence of the President of the Republic, and it
must feel satisfied that it has nobly aided in saving so-
ciety in France and perhaps in Europe. I shall before
long have the honour of sending in to you a statement
respecting the men of all grades who appear to me to
have the greatest claims to recompense, and to whom
I shall pray you to direct the kind interest of the Presi-
dent of the Republic. Receive, Monsieur le Ministre,
the assurance of my respect and devotedness.
" MAGNA/4 Commander-in-Chief."
The accounts from the departments of the south
still speak of renewed disturbances.
The Constitutions:el publishes the following fresh
episode in the disturbances of the Var

"Late in the evening of the 4th a numerous crowd
assembled before the Mairie of the commune of Troui 3,
and demanded that the arms of the National Guard
should be given up to them. M. Blanc, one of the De-
puty Mayors, presented himself to the rioters, and
sought by exhortations to make them understand the
consequences of what they were doing. His efforts were
in vain ; the door of the Mairie was forced in. The ring-
leaders, to the number of eight, immediately organized
themselves into a provisional government, at the head of
which was a journeyman shoemaker, ex-president of an
anarchical club, and the principal author of these fresh
disturbances. The members of the government ordered
a good dinner to be served them, after which they went
into the market-place, attended by their followers in
arms, they proclaimed the names of the new Adminis-
tration, and sang the Marseillaise on their knees. The
members of the government then returned to the Mairie,
and began to send out their orders, the first of which
consisted of missions given to certain citizens to kill
without delay all the gendarmes, lawyers, and priests in
the country. Let us hasten to add, that although at
Trolls is, as in every other place, where the standard of
anarchy has been raised, many crimes have been com-
mitted, the energetic action of the authorities has
checked the projects of the demagogues."
The following telegraphic dispatch, dated Lyons,
10th, was received yesterday by the Government :
" The insurrection of the Basses-Alpes has gained
the three arrondissements of Digne, Sisteron, and
Forcalquier. The Prefect of the Basses-Alpes is
shut up in the fort of the Seyne. The communica-
tions are interrupted between Avignon and Marseilles.
Gap (Hautes-Alpes) has been agitated, but the
arrest of the principal agitators has restored
tranquillity.
Dispatches from Rouen, Rheims, Lille, Amiens,
St. Etienne, and Colmar state that everything
is tranquil, and trade proceeding as usual. A
dispatch from Clamecy, dated, the 11th, says :
"At every instant insurgents are being arrested.
The communes which have been considered the
worst are those which arrest the most dan-
gerous demagogues. " The following is from
Valence, dated the 9th :—" The insurgents of Crest
were 2,000 in number ; they were repulsed after a
long combat, and had 310 killed and wounded. The
army behaves admirably." Dispatches from the
Maine-et-Loire, Marne, aura, Gironde, Allier, Gers,
and Aveyron give highly satisfactory accounts. A
dispatch from Strasburg states that the feeling for
Louis NAPOLEON is strong, and that at the factory of
Huttenheim the workmen, on learning the last news
from Paris, shouted " Vive NAroLnoiv."
A telegraphic dispatch of the 9ch, addressed from
Clamecy, by M. CARMEN, gives some fresh details of
the insurrection of the Nievre. The insurrection of
Clamecy did not wait the arrival of General PELLIO
who was advancing by forced marches. After com-
mitting the most atrocious acts they fled in all
directions. 261 of them have been arrested. A
strong reaction has taken place in the neighbouring
communes against the brigands, and the people lend
their aid in pursuing them. Twelve insurgents were
shot by the advanced guard of the troops.
The Pain's says :—" We learn that a body of
troops left Marseilles on the Bth, some for the Var,
and others for the Basses Alpes. A general of bri-
gade soon after left Paris in the night to take com-
mand of the military forces which are to operate on
that point."_

Seieral of the provincial journals publish the fol-
lowing telegraphic dispatch from the Minister of the
Interior to the Prefects :—" Give the most severe
orders to arrest the ,Montagnard and Socialist chiefs
who may endeavour to quit France after their defeat
in Paris."

The number of votes given up to yesterday by
the navy on the plebiscite of December 2, is 8,567, of
which 6,242 are in favour of the PRESIDENT, 2,145
against him, and 171 do not count.

The whole of the two squadrons of the Bth
Lancers, quartered at Givet, officers and men, to the
number of 273, voted on the Gth inst. in► favour of
the PRESIDENT of the Repubiic. The staff and the
various detachments voted in a similar manner,
We find the following in the Journal de Lille :
" As soon as the first telegraphic dispatch reached
this place, on the 2d, Lieutenant-Colonel d'Az6nar,
commanding par interim the Ist Regiment of Cuiras-
siers, assembled the officers in the barrack-yard. After
making known to them the events, which had taken
place, he aided: Gentlemen, we have nothing to do
with politics; our duty is traced out to us; the Chief of
the Executive disposes of the Army; we shall receive
his orders through his Generals and we shall obey. Let
us hold ourselves ready to march.' Three days after,
Colonel de Chambiire having caused the regiment to
♦ote, it unanimously declared itself in favour of main-
taining Louis Napoleon Bonaparte in power. We say
unanimously, although five out of seven hundred and
twenty present, inscribed their names on what was called
the bad register. This imperceptible fraction gives in
some measure a greater value to the vote of the lit Cui-
rassiers, as it proves that each man has been entirely
free in the expression of his sentiments."
The same journal says :
From information derived from various sources we
learn that commercial affairs are resuming great acti-
vity. Yesterday numerous purchasers arrived here f, om
Paris, and bought largely, particularly of linen goods.
For some time past that branch of manufacture has been
suffering much. An improvement has also taken place
in the spinning-trade. One important warehouse, -at
Lille, has informed us that for some time past it has not
done so much business as it did last week. These facts
carry with them their own comment."
Among the numerous declarations of adherence to
LOMB NAPOLEON received yesterday by the Govern-
ment are those of the municipalities of Marseilles and
Urles, and the Court Appeal of Aix.
The Currier de la Gironde of the 10th states
that the different constituted bodies and the officers
of the national guards had paid a visit on the previous
day to General DE BOUBJOLLY, on his taking the
command of the military division.
The following are the chief items of the Bank re-

Specie is less in Paris than it was last week by
nearly 21 millions, and less in the branches by
5,700,000 f. The note circulation has only increased
between 4 millions and 6 millions in the city, where
it is less by A million in the departments. The Bank
has been greatly increasing its discounts to indivi-
duals, for the portfolio has increased 10 millions for
the city, and five millions for the departments. The
credit to Treasury has increased 14 millions, which
it would look as if the Bank bad been called on for
the credit due to the Treasury. Private credit ac-
counts have diminished nearly 2 millions in the city,
and nearly 5 millions in the branches.
It appears that M. THIERS was informed by the
Government that it would be advisable that he should
quit France without delay. He refused to leave Paris
except expelled by force, whereupon he was taken in
Railway station. On bis
custody to the Strasbourg
arrival there he declared that force having been used
to eject him from his domicile, he was now prepared
to proceed 'without an escort, and accordingly he en-
tered one of the carriages, attended only by his ser-
vant, and proceeded to the frontier. lie arrived at
Brussels on the 12th, by the Cologne night train
from Frankfort, where he awaits the arrival of his
family from Paris.

reached Paris.

The Genoa Gazette, an official journal, contains
the following :—" The Duke D'AUMALE, on his way
from Naples, and travelling under the name of Duke
EUGENE DE TELLADIER, passed last night (the Bth)
through Genoa, on his way to Turin." This may be-
come a fact of some importance, considering that the
departments of France on the riedraontese frontiers
to in a state Qf insurrection.

In addition to General OUDINOT, General RuL-
IIIERES has been placed on the retirAd list. The
latter, on the occa,ion, wrote the following letter to
General LEROY DE ST. ARNAUD, the Minister of
War :

Monsieur le Minigtre,—ln 1835 the inspector-gene-
ral of infantry, Rulh:l-es, saved the honour of Captain
Leroy (called St. Arnaud). It was only just that in
1851 Licutenaut-Geueral Leroy (called St. Arnaud),
not beimg able to attack the honour of General Rulhieres,
should break his sword.—Accept, &c.
