(PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE OF A MORNING PAPER.)
PARIS, MAY 10.
To-day, for the first time, will the events of the 13th
and, 14th last March become the subject of discussion
in many of the Tribunals, or other public places of
' A Dr. Gervais, a sort of person resembling
pretty closely in character a Dr. Watson, who, some
14 or 15 years ago, earned and enjoyed a certain spe-
cies of celebrity in London, will be brought to trial
before the Cour d' Assizes, for having published in the
Messager des Chambres a letter, in which he detailed
the infamous treatment of which (according to him)
the unfortunate persons made prisoners and brought
into custody to the Conciergerie, on the 14th April,
were made the objects by the police and its agents.
The Messager des Chambres is implicated in the
crime of publication ; and thus will a part, at least,
of the conduct of the police be scrutinized. The trial
will last, it is expected, throughout the entire of this
day and of to...morrow, although Sunday.
Hitherto, as I have observed, not a word has been
said directly in the Chamber of Deputies on the sub-
ject of the revolt at Lyons, or the " occurrences" of
Paris. MM. Odillon Barrot and Garnier-Pages did,
however, on the debate respecting the censorship of
the theatres, the other day, very significantly intimate
that whenever the law introduced into the Chamber
the day following the events of Paris, called the " Loi
des Suspects" should come on for discussion, they
would enter into the whole question of the late insur-
rection, the conspiracy that preceded it, and the mas-
sacres that had closed it. This intimation will, it is
believed, induce Ministers to abandon the proposed
law ; for, silent as have been the Deputies, the tribu-
nals, and the public of France, and nearly silent as has
been the press on the same melancholy topic, there is
reason to fear that appeals to the passions of the peo-
ple, by reference to the scenes of which I speak, might
produce inconvenient if not dangerous consequences.
Many circumstances continue to concur in proving
that the late conspiracy was as extensive, and that its
ramifications throughout the army were as numerous
and general as I, in the teeth of the denials of the
ministerial press, described them. The newspapers
of this day teem with evidence of those facts. The
rumoured disaffection which pervaded the 52d and 20th
regiments, so strongly declared to be false by certain
officers of those regiments, and by the ministerial
journals, must have been tolerably extensive, when
we find published to-day the names of fourteen sub-
officers of the 52d regiment alone (from the rank of
sergeant-major to that of corporal inclusive), who
have been reduced to the ranks, and otherwise punished
as factiOus anarchists. Now then, in one of the An-
twerp regiments, too, prove pretty clearly that the sub-
officers of the present army are not so much enamoured
of King. Louis Philip as were those of the army of
1822. when Paul T Co'.wier referred to their at-
tachment to the Duke of Orleans. Why they are not
I so is the whole question.
The Chamber of Peers is about to sit in judgment
on the conspirators and insurgents in custody, who

played in the execution of Bories and his companions
(" the four sergeants of La Rochelle") in 1822; but
the dry guillotine—Algiers—will be extensively re-
sorted to in respect of the Liberal militaires guilty or
suspected of crimes similar to those of Bories, Raoulx,
Pommier, and Gaubin (the four sergeants), and which
entitled them to figure in the list of martyrs to French
liberty, and even have their sad story enacted on the
stage. There will be, however, (attempted at least,)
the decapitation or the shooting of some victims of
superior rank. In 1834, Captain Kersosie stands a
chance of a similar fate. The one prosecuted by the
elder branch of the Bourbons, the other by the Govern-
ment substituted for theirs.
Why is this?
With a policy which many persons deem question-
able, the government and its organs repeat to satiety
that the troops and the national guards (not a word
about the Assommeurs) in the late events fought in
defence of " order." This is a fact to a certain ex-
tent. I concur in an assertion of the ministerial
press for once in my life. I know more than one na-
tional guard who detests the government and its po-
licy, and who nevertheless turned out on the 14th of
April in defence of his home, and what he deemed the
established order of things, on the occurrence of what
he was induced to believe was an insurrection. A
more serious hint was given the other day to the
authorities by the corps of artillery engaged against
the revolters at Lyons, in their public declaration that
they would accept of no decoration or reward what-
ever for doing their duty on an occasion so lament-
able. Notwithstanding this hint, however, seventy-
six decorations of the Legion of Honour were sent to
Lyons for presentation to the troops and others who
fought against the insurgents.
Independently of the circumstances to which I have
alluded, in proof that all the sympathy of the national
guard, the army, and the country is not with the go-
vernment, you will ,find in the papers resolutions en-
tered into in various places in France by the local
authorities to refuse concurrence in the subscription
recommended by the prefets for the benefit of soldiers
and others wounded during the late troubles.
Of these facts King Louis Philip is well aware, and
the front of his knowledge is an appearance of modera-
tion and of solidity and sadness, which characterised
none of his former successful "pulverising" opera-
tions. " Why this alteration ?" I answer—" In
order that the electors, the majority of whom belong
not to the juste milieu, but who are impressed with fear
and horror of the republic, be not drawn too far into
the conduct of ministers." It would not suit the pur-
poses of the government to shock those of the electors
who are not thick and thin " Philipites," and hence
the hypocritical and humbug cant of " order" which is,
and will for weeks to come, be rung in the ears of the
electors, and which will succeed in procuring the return
of a Chamber of Deputies as much, nay more, devoted
to the King and to his creatures than that about to be
dissolved. The great question is, nevertheless, not at
rest. The insurrection at Lyons and the barricades
of April 13 at Paris, added apparently to the strength
of the government. The first shot fired by the troops
on those occasions respectively was precious for the
government for it committed the army.
So was the first shot fired on the Bidassoa in the be-
ginning of the year 1823. It committed the army
against the republicans, four or five' months after Bories
and his companions had been guillotined; and yet, in
1830, the Bourbons, who guillotined Bories in 1812,
who fired on the tri-coloured flag on the Spanish side
of the Bidassoa in 1823, who forced the beloved Fer
dinand on the Spanish people in the same year, who,
moreover, " took Algiers," were kicked from Paris to
the seaside in 1830, without the raising of a single
hand in their favour, or the utterance of a single sigh
at their banishment.
Cannon, muskets, bayonets, swords, sabres, daggers,
clubs, dungeons, guillotines, and proscription, directed
against the republicans, failed in preserving on the
French throne the elder branch of the Bourbons.
Cannon, muskets, bayonets, swords, sabres, daggers,
clubs, dungeons, and proscription have been employed
by the Orleans branch of the same family against the
same party. The guillotine is about to be added to
those means of repression, and, without pretending to
the gift of prophecy, I shall say with similar effect ,
unless, which I desire sincerely, the existing govern-

ment shall escape the fate of -its pi edecess3r by a W Se
and timely change of system: '
Is such a system likely ?-I think not.
BOURSE, THREE O'CLOCK.
The most contradictory reports are in circulation
respecting Don Carlos. On the authority of letters
from Dartmouth, stating the positive embarkation of
that Prince for England, the Bulls have acquired
courage, while the Bears still contend that he has en-
tered Spain.
There was less news to-day and less doing here
than is usual on Saturdays.. The heat of the wea-
ther is the principal topic of conversation. We had
yesterday nearly 86 degrees of Fahrenheit. To-day
there is a breeze with a little approach towards fresh-
ness with a prospect of a coming storm ; still the heat
is overpowering.
Extract of a letter of the 4th inst., from Toulon :-
The Minister of the Marine having inquired, by tele-
graph, whether the Nestor, which has been a long
time in commission, was ready for sea, and received
an answer in the affirmative, she to-day hoisted her
signal for sailing, and is on the point of getting under
weigh. The Bellone frigate, which was attached to
the Levant squadron, has also received her sailing
orders._ Her crew will -be completed to-morroiV, and
she will probably hasten to join the Nestor. We are
unable to state their destination. They are victualled
for only one month, and there is every reason to believe
that they are going with sealed orders to the Mediter-
ranean. Some persons, however, assert that they are
bound for Lisbon.-Galignani's Messenger.

itia, it is supposed by a Carlist. Search was made,
but the murderer has not yet been discovered. The
Urban Militia, dressed in their uniforms, paraded
:he streets, singing national airs, and notwith-
standing the acrimony of party spirit, no riot
ouk place, nor , was any insult offered to thOse
,f opposite opinions. The publication of the
Estatuto Rsal has- given universal satisfactibn
co the Liberals, who look upon it as the first step to-
wards the great national reforms which they so fondly
anticipate : this measure has gained the popularity
which the Queen Regent had in some degree forfeited
by the absurd inconsistency of her former Ministers.
Since the fall of the Minister of the Interior (Burgos),
there seems to be more decision in the cabinet. The
royal decree, published on the 27th, for the regula-
tion of the clergy and convents, is striking at the root
of monkish poser, which has so long impoverished
and oppressed this unfortunate country. The admis-
iion of novices to the monastic order is prohibited by
the decree, and the total extinction of convents, and
the appropriation of their immense revenues. to meet
the exigencies of the state, may be looked for at no
distant period. The first step has been taken, which
has been hailed by the Liberals as a most auspicibts
omen ; and their confidence in Government is now
greater than at any former period since the death of
Ferdinand : however, the convocation of the Corte4 is
anxiously looked for, and it is expected that this body
will secure to the people those rights which they have
so long and so vainly struggled to obtain. It is ob-
vious that the reforms which Spain so imperiously
calls for can be no longer withheld without the danger
of bringing on a most sanguinary revolution. Ihe
present Ministers seem inclined to promote the wel-
fare of their country, and if their measures do not
keep pace with the impatience of the Liberals, it must
be remembered' that practical experience, gleaned
during years of misfortune, has taught them the
necessity of avoiding extremes. The letters which
have arrived this day by a courier from the
northern provinces bring tidings of a most un-
favourable nature. They give an account of an _
action having been fought at the town of Alsuaga,'
the valley of Borunda. which is situate between
Vittoria and Pampeluna, in which the Queen's
troops, under the command of General Quesada, sus-
tained a complete defeat. The details of this unfortu-
nate affair have not yet been made public. The Car-
lists were commanded by Zumalacarregui, who had; it
is stated, 4,000 men, while the Queen's force did not
exceed 2,000; 180 of the latter were made prisoners,
together with several officers. The troops taken were
decimated, and the officers, five in number, were shot.
One of them, Colonel O'Donnell, son of the general
of that name ( Count Abisbal), a young officer of the
most promising talents, was butchered in cold bloOd.
Although this news is not official, yet I am sorry to
say it is generally believed to be true, for it has come
through a most respectable channel. The nomination
of General Quesada to the command of the army. in
the northern provinces was considered by military men
to have been very injudicious- on the part of the Go-
vernment, for he is violent and headstrong, entirely
devoid of military talent, and an officer whose mai.ners
are not calculated to- inspire love or respect. He
wishes to govern by fear, and to reconcile the revolted
provinces to the Queen's Goverment by the most bru-
tal display of military despotism. General Mina is the
person whom public opinion 'points out as the most
proper to be employed in reducing the revolted pro-
vinces to obedience. The guerilla chief, nicknamed
El Loch, who ravaged the neighbouring province -of
La Mancha in the time of Charles V., has met with a
signal defeat. His party did not exceed 300 men, 'of
whom 200 were infantry. He has escaped into Portu...
gal by Estremadura, accompanied by only sixteen men
(cavalry), pursued by the Urban Militia of that pro.,
vince. D,'
