witted itself vanquished. Success was infallible; it was
owing to the energy of the troops and the spirit or order
which animates them; generals, officers, sub-officers,
and soldiers, displayed the greatest ardour. The ge-
neral-in-chief, Magnan, is still incessantly employed in
taking measures for maintaining order. Nothing has
been forgotten for securing the welfare and repose of
the troops, and at the same time the efficacious and op-
portune employment of force. Yesterday his generals
were recommended to, protect the circulation of vehicles
interrupted on the preceding day. Orders were also
given to facilitate everywhere the resumption of

" In the combats of the 4th and sth," says the Con-
stitutionnel, " only half of the army of Paris was em-
ployed. Not a battalion of the neighbouring garri-
sons was called on to act. A judgment may be
formed, from the powerful reserves which the Go-
vernment disposes of, of the vigorous repression
which any new attempt at insurrection would be sure
to meet with. Every one will convince himself of
the admirable arrangements made by General
MAGNAN, and of the rare precision with which the
various movements were executed by the Generals

under his orders."
The 72d Regiment, which attacked the great bar-
ricade, suffered severely. Lieut.-Colonel LOBEAU
and thirty-eight men were killed, and the Colonel
and several men severely wounded. This regiment
had been stationed at St. Cloud, the residence of
LOUIS NAPOLEON, during the whole of the recess.
On Friday in the Rue Clery several persons totally
unconnected with the " insurrection" lost their lives,
in consequence of a butcher's boy having cried out,
" Vive la Republique ! a bas Napoleon !" as a de-
tachment of Lancers and infantry were passing. The
infantry fired land the Lancers charged. The boy
escaped unhurt, but several persons standing at their
shopdoors were wounded. A wholesale cotton mer-
chant, who went up to a garret to see what was
passing, was shot through the head. Another, a
wealthy merchant, who was in the act of giving
orders to his concierge to shut the gates, was wounded
by a Lancer, who singly pursued the mob into a
courtyard. Four National Guards were shot dead by
the Chasseurs de Vincennes.
The following proclamation has been issued :
" The President of the Republic and his Govornment
will not hesitate to employ any measure calculated to
maintain order and save society, but they will always
know how to pay attention to the voice of public ,opinion,
and to the wishes of well inclined persons. They have
not hesitated to change a mode of voticg whioh they
had borrowed from precedents in history, but w hich, in
the actual state of our electoral habits, did not appear to
sufficiently ensure the independence of the votes given.
The President of the Republic desires that all Ithe elec-
tors shall be completely at liberty in the expression of
their vote, whether they exercise publio tune Lions or
not, and whether they belong to the civil proles sions or
to the army. Absolute independence, complete liberty
of voting, is what Louis Napoleon desires to see esta-
blished. " DE MORNY,
" Paris, Dec. 5. Minister of the Inte ri or."
The General Committee for the Revision of the
Constitution has addressed the following letter to its
correspondents :
" Monsieur,—Our Committee has not ceased tth pursue
its object—the revision of the Constitution )f, 1848.
Two millions of petitioners, a great number of councils
of arrondissement, the almost unanimity of the C ouncils-
General, and 448 representatives, have acted and voted
in the same sense, but all these efforts remained power-
less. The safety of the country has dictated the measures
which the President of the Republic has just taken.
The electoral comitia are convoked; the people .is called
on to vote a new Constitution, which, whilst meat taming
the conquests of 'B9, will preserve France from anarchy
and restore to her her strength and her future. In this
solemn decision so patriotically pronounced by Louis
Napoleon, it is the people which is to pronounc a. You
have, Monsieur, by your sincere co-operation sided our
committee to fulfil its task; permit it to count r sore than
ever on your sympathetic support to insure to Oa) propo-
sition of the President of the Republic the most imposing
majority.— Receive, &c.,
PEPIN-LEHALLEUR, president; GUYARD-Di ILALAIN,
vice-president; P. LAYOLLEE, vice-presid gent; DE
BEAUMONT-VASSY, secretary; BONNET DE MAL-
HERBE, secretary; BRISSON, MAX, .KONIGS-
WARTER. PORRIQUET, P. DE TASCHER, .113IEDEE
THAYER."
" P.S. The gravity of the circumstances and the ab-
sence of several members have not allowed t'ate com-
mittee to be convoked in a regular manner; and con-
sequently the above signatures only engage their
authors."
The PRESIDENT of the Republic has just etdressed
the following letter to the Minister of War :--
"My dear General,—l had adopted the mode of
voting which consists of each person giving his signa-
ture, because that mode, employed formerly, uppeared
to me to ensure more effectually the sincerity of the
election; but, yielding to the serious objections made,
and to just representations, I have, as you are awere,just
issued a decree which changes the manner of voting.
The suffrages of the army are almost entirely gip en, and
I am delighted to think that there will be found. but an
inconsiderable number who have voted against m.,e. Yet
as the soldiers, who have given in a negativ.e vote,
might apprehend that it would have the effect 1)1 exer-
cising an untoward influence on their career, it is of
importance to set their minds at resat- Re
good enough, therefore, without delay to mak a known
to the army that if the mode in which it has 'voted is
different from that according to which the other citizens
will vote, it shall be the same for it, that is to say, I
wish to be ignorant of the names of those who have
voted against me. Consequently the taking of the votes
once terminated and duly verified, I beg of you to order
that the registers may be burnt.
" Louis NAPOLEON BONAPA.RTE."
The Minister of War has addressed the following
proclamation to the army, dated Thursday night :
" Soldiers!—You have to-day accomplished a great
act of your military life. You have preserved Ole coun-
try from anarchy and pillage, and saved the :Republic.
You have shown yourselves what you will always be—
brave, devoted, and indefatigable. France admires you,
and thanks you. The President of the Repablic will
never forget your devotedness. Victory could not be
doubtful; the true people, all honest men, are with you.
In all the garrisons of France your companions in arms
are proud of you, and will, when called on, follow your
example.

The Moniteur Parisien says :--
" A hair-dresser named Gape, residing at the
Themes, arrested on Thursday, on the Place de la
Madeleine, and took to the Tuileries, Count do Pey-
rennet, son of the ex-Minister of Charles X. He had
two of his fingers cut in effecting this arrest."
M. PLEYEL, the pianoforte manufacturer of the
Rue Rochechouart, early yesterday morning caused
his workmen, aided by some of the working men in
the neighbourhood, to demolish the barricades raised
duringthe night in the Rue Rochechouart, Rue Belle-
fond, and Rue de la Tour d'Auvergne. The work-
men of 'that quarter refused absolutely to take any
part in the erection of these barricades.
The Patrie contradicts a report that General
TARTAS had given in his resignation.
The mayor of the 11th arrondissement and his
deputies gave a dinner, on Thursday, to General
RIPERT and several officers of his brigade.
The following dispatches are published in the even-
ing edition of the Constitutionnel :
" Vendee—Napoleon Vendee, 3d. The great majority
of the inhabitants approve of the measures. The dema-
gogical party evince the most profound consternation;
the Legitimatists are silent. SaOne-et-Loire—Macon,
3d. Astonishment, anxiety for news from Paris, stupor
and dejection of the demagogues. Such is the impres-
sion produced here, where order has not been for a mo-
ment disturbed. Dispatches received today from the
Prefects of the Deux Sevres, Ardennes, Meuse, Cal-
vados, Sarthe, ire, Yonne, Lot et Garonne, Ain,

The same journal publishes the following letter
from Periguex (Dordogne) :
" The reception given to the proclamations exceeds
everything that could have been expected. The aspect
of the town to-day has been that of a
_Me. Every coun-
tenance appears bright with joy. Our brave peasants,
who had come to the market, manifested their satisfac-
tion, and never ceased shouting Vive Napoleon
We ought to send him a golden broom,' said one of
them in a group, he merits it well for having swept
away that set of idlers.' The people in trade bless the
measure, and regard themselves as saved."
General BOURJOLLY has been appointed to the
command of the three military divisions now com-
manded by General D'ARBOVILLE. General BOUR.
JOLLY leaves for Bordeaux this day.
To the list of generals who have already been men-
tioned as having offered their services to the PREBI.
RENT of the Republic, must be added General COR.
DIN, commander of the department of the Charente.
He accompanied Prince LOUIS NAPOLEON in his visit
to different quarters.
M. BRULELIN, commissary of police of the Presi-
dency, and senior of the commissaries of police of
Paris, has been appointed chief of the municipal
police.
The funeral of M. BAUDIN, ex-representative of the
people, who was shot when defending a barricade,
took place at Montmartre. The Journal des Faits
states about three hundred persons were present on
the occasion.
The red triangle, painted on the signs of somo
hair-dressers, restaurateurs, and coffeehouse-keepers,
to signify that they formed part of what they called
fraternal associations, has disappeared without the
civil authorities interfering. This emblem, the re-
production of which might lead to fresh disorders, is
not to be permitted to re-appear.
Two hundred men arrested at the barricades were
taken on Friday under a strong escort to the prison
Mazas. Eighty-two others of the most dangerous
character, arrested by the National Guard of Belle-
ville, were also lodged in the prison Mazas. Gold
and silver coin were found in their possession.
Arrests still continue to be made. Several persons
captured on Thursday were yesterday placed in the
