o him.

The persons who wore to be arrested by the police
were of two descriptions-Ist, representatives more or
less engaged in a flagrant couspiricacy ; and 2d, the
chiefs of secret societies teed the cummande•rs of barri-
cades, always ready to execute the orders of factions.
All these had been strictly watched for a fortnight by
agents of whose presence they had not the remotest
notion; and of the agents not one was aware of his real
missi ,D, having all received various or imaginary orders.
The total number of persons to be arrested was 78, of
whom 18 were representatives, and 60 chiefs of secret
societies and barricades.
The 800 scrgens de villa and the brigades of safety
(de suret6) hod been ordered to attend at, the Prefecture
of Police at eleven o'clock at night on the Ist December.
The alleged pretext fur summoning them was the pre-
sence in Paris of some of the refugees from Loudon.
At hea-pest three on the morning of the 2d, the
officiers de paix and the forty commissaires de police were
summoned from their houses. At halt-past four ell had
arrived. They were placed in groups, ap irt, in sepa-
rate rooms, in order to avoid questioning e.
At five o'clock, the commisiaires were all summoned,
one by one, to the chamber of the Prefect, and received
from his mouth the full and complete revelation of the
truth, together Stith orders, indications, urod the neces-
sary instruments. The men were, with great care, each
appointed to the charge that bust suited him, and they
all left, lull of zeal and of ardour, resolved to accom-
plish their duty at any price. None failed to perform
his promise. A great number of carriages, prepared
beforehand, were stationed in groups on the quays, near
the Prefecture, in the manner least calculated to excite
atteniion.
The arrests had so been arranged by the Prefect of
Police and the Minister of War, that they should pre-
cede by a quarter of an hour the arrival of the troops
on the appointed ground. The arrests were to be made
at a quarter past six, and the officers had received orders
to be at the doors of the persons pointed out to them at
five minutes past six. Everything was effected with
extraordinary punctuality, and no arrest required more
than twenty minutes.

VII.
Some of the arrests present characteristic traits, and
it may be of some interest to relate the particulars of
some of the principal ones.
All the details that are here given are scrupulously
exact, having been ( xtracted from the official document.
The most important of all, that of General Changar-
flier, was confided to two men of rare energy, the Cern-
missaire de Police, Leras, and Captain Baudinct, of the
Republican Guard. They were assisted by 15 chosen
police agents, 30 of the Republican Guards, and a pic-
quet of 10 horsemen. At five minutes past six the
Contßtissaire de Police rang at the door of the house of
the General, No. 3, Rue de F:-.ubourg St. Ilonotfi. The
porter, as usual, asked" Who's there?" The reply was,
" Open the door, I wish to speak to you." The porter,
however, refused to open. It was evident he was on his
guard. The agent who had spoken to him was directed,
in a whisper, to carry on the conversation with the
porter, so as to divert him from giving the alarm to the
General.
In the same house, and beside the entrance door, is a
greccr's shop—some customers were alnady in it. The
commissaire was struck with the idea that the shop
might probably communicate with the court yard of the
house. Ile entered, wised in an imperative tone for the
key of the door that communicated with the court, and
obtained it. Ile thus penetrated into the house,
followed by his agents. The porter, however, had
already given the alarm by ringing bells, which were
hung in the General's apartments. His servant was
found on the landing•place of the first story above the
entresol. The key of the apartment, which he had in
his hand, was taken from him. The caminiszairo
opened the door and entered.
At the same moment a bed-room door was opened, and
the General appeared in his nightshirt, with naked feet,
and a pistol in each hand.
The commissaire rushed to him, and put down his
arms, saying, " What are you about, Golaral; we do
not seek your life—there is no need to defend it."

The General remained ealas, gave up his pistols, and
said, "I am yours (Je suis a virus) I will dress myself."
The General was dressed by his servant-, and said to
the Commismire, "I know that M. de Maupas, is a gen-
tleman—have the kindness to say to hies from me, that I
hope that his ccurtesy will not allow him to deprive me
of my servant, whose assistance is necessary to me"
(dent je ne puffs one passer). His r:que.it was et once
granted.
On his way to prison in the vehicle, the General
spcke of the event of the day. "Thu re•electign of the

President was certain," said ho. "He had no need to

resort to a coup d'dtat —he gave himself much trouble
for no purpose." Oa another occasion ho said, " When
the President has a foreign war on his hands, he will be
glad to seek me to give me the command of an army."
VIII.
The arrest of General Civaignac was neither more
difficult, nor did it demand more time. Having effected
his entrance, into the house, No. 17, flue du Helder, the
Commi,saire Colin spoke as follows to the porter.—
" Where does General Cavaignac live?" "lie's not
at home." _

" I must speak to him ; I know he is at home."
"He is not; besides, he is asleep. You come too early;
his lodgings are on the entregol."
The Commissaire proceeded thither, knocked at the
door, and asked for the General. A female voice first

replied, "He is not here." A moment afterwards the
commissaire rung again. Then a man's voice asked,
" Who's there?" "A commissary of police—in the name
of the law, open."
The General then opened the door himself.
The CJmmissaire said to him—" General, you are my
prisoner. All resistance is useless. I have to secure
your person in virtue of an order, which I will read to
you. 'Tis useless."
The General became very angry, struck his hand upon
a marble table, and burst out into invectives.
The Commissairo begged him to be moderate. The
General lookei fixed at him and said, " How I do you
arrest me? Give me your names." "We will not hide
them from you, General. But this is not the moment—

you must dress yourself and follow me."
The General then became calm, and said—" Very
well, sir, I am ready to follow you—give met;mo to

dress, and order four people out of th© room." He
askeo, also, the permission to write, which was accorded

When the General was ready, he said to the commis-
sary—'' Let us go, sir; I ask bte, one favour from you,
that is, that I may go to my destiottion with you alone."
The commissary at once granted this.
During the ride the General appeared absorbed in
deep thought, which was only interrupted by these
words—" Am I the only person arrested?" " General,
I cannot answi r that question." " Where are you
taking me to?" "To 111?zas."

When the commissary of police, Blanchet, presented
himself at No. 11, Rue Las Cases, the house inhabited
by General Latnoricere, the porter refused to give a
light or point cut the apartment of the General.
The commissary rung at the door of the first story;
a servant opened and instantly shut the door. Ho
looked out again, holding a lamp in his hand, and per-
ceiving the scarf of the commissary, put out his lamp,
and ran away by a back staircate, shouting out
" Thieves!" Ho was stopped by the sergens de vile in
the street. He then gave himself up, and conducted
the commissary to his master's room.
At first the General said not a word; then he cast his
eyes on the chimney-piece, and asked his servant what
had become of the money he had left there. The ser-
vant having answered that it was safe, the General asked

for his clothes and dussed himself. The commissary
said to him, " Sir, the observation you have just made
wounds me." " How do I know that you aro not rob-
bers?" said the General. The commissaire showed him
his scarf. The General was silent.

M. lilanchet then said to him," General, I have re-
ceived orders from the Prefect of Police to treat you
with every posAble rei pet (eyard), and if you will give
ni your parole that you will not try to escape, I will
have you placed in a brougham and I alone will accom•
Noy you." The General replied, " I will give nothing.
I will answer for nothing. Do as you please with me."
lle was then placed in a hacliney-c,..ach, with agents
of police. Opposite the post of th, Legion of Honour,
the General put his head out of the window, and at-
tempted to harangue the troops. The cornmissaire did
not allow him to utter a word, and observed that he
should be obliged; to treat him harshly if he made an-
other attempt. The General replied, "Doss you please."
On arriving at Mazss, the General became much more
calm. He begged the commissaire not to seiz3 his pre•
cious arms, and to send him cigars, and a History of the
French Revolution. The cornmissaire fulfilled his wishes.

General LeflO, who resides at the Questure, was in
bed. The Commiesaire Bertoglio wuke him up, and
made him acquainted with his orders. He rose sad

dressed, tbreaiening the commissaire, and abusing the
President—" Napoleon wishes to make his coup d eta
We will shoot him at Vincennes. As for you, we won't
send you to Nuuka Hive, fur we will shoot you with
him." The uommissaire replied that he (the General)
could make no resistance, that Paris was in a state of
siege, and that he ought to be aware of the conse-
quences.
In getting into a carriage, the General attempted to
apostrophise the colonel of the 423, acd wished to ha-
rangue the soldiers. Colunel E,pinasse ordered him
to be silent, and the soldiers presented their bayonets
at him.

I❑ gang from the Aisenably to Maz.ts, Ganeral Lao
did not titter a single word.
XI.

General Bedeau lived at No. 30, rue do l'Universito,
a large house, whera there were several staircase!.
The Commissaire Bubaut did not know which led to
the General's apartments, or on which story they were
situated. On apply ing to the porter, he said, " I've
never seen you before, and at such an hour you must be
one of the people who prowl about." Ho at last gave
way, and guided the commitsaire to the apartment.
The servant half opened the door, the corn nissaire
pushed it open. The servant ran away, the coratnissaire
followed, and reached the General; he communicated his
orders to him.

The General vas overwhelmed, but soon recovering

from his surprise, he protested against the violation ot
the Constitution, and said to the commissaire, " You
place yourself without the pale of the law. You must
❑ot forget that lam a representative of the people. You
can arrest," since you do not state that you arrest me in
flagrance &lido."
He next protested that he did not conspire, and asked

for the nanio of the commissaire. Ot receiving it he
said hu had seon his name honourably mentioned in the

journals, and that he was so much LSO more astonished
to think that ha could arrest a General, a Vice-Presi-
dent of the Assembly, a soldier who had. shed his blood
for the cause of order, who knew how to risk his life,
and who, if he had had such an intention, could have
already overturned several.
The commissaire replied that his duty was to execute
not to comment upon his orders—that if the General
knew how to defend his life, he also was ready to sacri-
fice his own in the performance of his duty—that it was
necessary he should submit without violence, or that,
otherwise, he should be obliged to have recourse to
extrtme measures.
lie ordered the General to get up. The General
dressed himself with excessive slowness. At the mo-
ment of starting, his lace became overcast and angry.
He put his back to the chimney, and said, N )vg
will not go—l will not leave this room, unless you take
me hence as a malefactor, unless you drag me hence,
unless you dare to se:a) me by the collar—me, the Vice-
President of the National assembly!"
The commissaire said to bins, " Do you admit that in
my mission I have made use of proper proceedings to-
wards you?" "Yes," replied the General.
The commissaire then seized him, He made a very
strong resistance, and was carried into tho carriage. He
cried out " Treason! to arms; I am the Vice-President
of the Assembly, and they are arresting me." It was
all useless—the carriage started, and' the sergens de ville
followed it.
Oa arriving at Mcz is, he apostrophised a company
of the Republican Guard, which remained deaf to his
words.
At the Registry he met Generals LAO, Changarnier,
and Cavaigaac. He embraced the last.
XIL

Colonel Charras, who lived at No. 14, rue St.
Honore, refused at first to ope❑ his door; but seeing it
about to be burst open. He said, " Stop, I will open
it." He did so.
The Commissaire Coureille notified his orders to
him. The Colonel said, " I had foreseen this—l ex-
pected it—l might have saved myself, but I would not
quit my post. I believed that it would have been done
at least two d:iya earlier, and believing that, I had
charged my pistol—but I have now drawn the charge," and
he shomid, a double-barrelled pistol. The commissaire
seized it, " If you had come that day," said the Colonel,
" I would have blown your brains out."
lie got into the carriage without resistance. Pre-
sently, he asked where they were taken him to. As the
commist,aire hesitated to reply, ho said to him, " Are you
taking me to be shot?" The commissaire then told him
that he was being coridncted to Meals.
At the prison M. Charras bentrae animated, and re-
paired the authorities to put "representative of the peo-
ple" on his order of arrest.
XIII.

The Commissaire Boudrot entered the chamber of the
celebrated M. Charles Lagrange, No. 27, rue Casimir
Perier, at the moment that he was getting up to inquire
what the cries of terror of his servant, who had just
opened the door, meant.
M. Lagrange protested. lie said that the constitution
was violated, that he had but to fire a pistol out of win-
dow, and the people would rush to arms; but if he
wiahed to defend himself, he could kill them (the police),
and that they should employ force before they should
make him prisoner.
A great number of political papers were seized—two
pistols, a regulatOn musket, two moulds for balls, car-
tridges, three poignarde, and a cavalry sabre, numbered
478, ree:,gnised by the quarter-master of the Republican
Guard, Kerkan, as having formerly belonged to him,
and as having been stolen en the 24th of Ftbruury,
from the barracks where ho way liviLg.
In going to Mazas, M. Charles Lagrange repeated
several times—" The stroke as bold; but it s well played."
At Mazas, M. Lagrange addressed M. de Latuoric6re,
and said to him, " Well, General, we meant to have done
for him, but 'tis he that hay done for us." IN'ous vow' iimes

M. Greppo, the ardent Socialist, lived at No. 15, rue
do Ponthieu. lie had a complete arsenal hidden under
his bed. Amongst other things were found an enormous
two poignards, a loaded
superb bonnet rouge, bran new. On the bpiaatttol el a
endxe , a freshly sharpened,
ar-
rival of the Comenist;atre Groubier and his agents, M.
Greppo was plunged into a state of complete prostra-
tion. On being questioned as to the thin,is found
under his bed, ho answered that he had bought them
because ho had a taste for the navy. Madame Greppo,
who is a woman of great energy, aoldress2d her husband
in a most energetic inam,r:—" Is it possible," she said,
"to possess so little resolution as to let oneself ba ar-
rested without resistance?'
Bat neither these words nor the sight of the battle-
ax, could animate M. Gieppo—" How could help
it?" writes au ocular witness. '°Greppo fist saisi
dun derangement, allquel it dut eatigfaire.'

When the CommisLair° de Police Ilubaut, the elder,
entered tho bed-room of M. Thera, No. 1, rig"
Georges, M. Thiers was fast ash ep. The commissatre
put aside the damask and muslin curtains, woke up Igf•
Thiers, and made him aware of his mission.
Thiers sat up quickly, rubbed his eyes—over which
his white nightcap was fallng—and said, " What's the
matter?" lam come to make a search in your house
