preaentatives, but the detachments prevented the
meeting.

Tho—repreentatives then dispersed ; some went to
M. de Broglie'e, others to M. Dufaure's. M. Cre-
mieux was arrested in the street.
In the 6th arrondissement some representatives of
the Mountain made an attempt at resistance.
The military occupy the principal bridges of the
capital. It is said the troops will support the Pre-
sident.

As yet, the Faulaourgs remain tranquil.
The Boulevards are crowded with people, but no
disorder has taken place.
The agio on gold, which was at 20, has fallen to sf.
The calls upon the ba►ak this morning were very nu-
merous, but have fallen off. After the first panic, a
reaction has taken place, but the excitement is very
great. A proclamation is expected from the As-
sembly.

Fears are entertained for the night and to-morrow.
All the newspaper s have been seized except the
Constitutionnel, the Patric, and the Dibats.
The President mounted his horse at eleven o'clock,
accompanied by the ex-King Jerome and a numerous
staff of generals. He rode along the quays, passed
in review the troops assembled on the Place de la
Concorde, and in the square of the Tuileries.
Not a single hostile shout was raised, but no fa-
vourable acclamations greeted him.

A' few voices raised the cry " ViVe la Ripublique."
I understand that the Minister of the Marine did
not know anything of the coup d'etat till this morning,
at nine o'clock, when a friend called upon him, and
announced it to him.

The Patrie of yesterday publishes the following
items, in short paragraphs :

General Changariiir was arrested this morning at
four o'clock, in his own house. Some other repre-
sentatives, who were in his room, were arrested at
the same time. M. Lamoriciere and M. Thiers are
among the number.

General Changarnier attempted to harangue the
troops, who refused to listen to him.
General Cavaignac was also arrested.
All the streets leading to the Assembly are occu-
pied by the troops.

- The infantry is drawn up in line from the Quai
d'Orsay to the Pont de la Concorde; the Cavalry
occupies the Place de la Concorde to the Rond•
Point.

M. Morny is appointed Minister of the Interior.
The following are among the representatives
arrested :—MM. Charras, Lamoriciere, Roger (du
Nord), Cavaignac, Bedeau, Changarnier, Le FIO,
Winne, Greppo, Baze, Miot, Thiers, Nadaud and
Valentin. ,

P.S.—I have just learned, from undoubted autho-
rity, that 150 representatives of those deliberating
have been arrested, and led away between files of sol-
diers. It is believed that they have been taken to the
Invalides for security.

(From the Daily News Correspondent.)

Last night we received the following :
Paris is perfectly quiet. No Parliamentarian army
appears.

The proclamation to the people is countersigned by
the Minister of the Interior.

ARREST OF REPRESENTATIVES.

One hundred and eighty representatives of the
Right, with Berryer at their head, have been arrested
in the Mairie of the tenth arrondissement. Some of
the members of the Left, assembled at Cremieux's
house, have been arrested also.

By special express boat and engine we have re-
ceived the following dispatches from France :
PARIS, TUESDAY, 3 P.M.
Last night all Paris went to bed quietly, without
dreaming of revolution. To-day the peaceable citi-
zens rise to find the streets occupied with soldiers,
and to read the proclamations, posted in all public
places, as the only clue to the enigma.

This morning, at four o'clock,
,General Changer-
flier was arrested at his lodging, where several other
representatives were assembled, who were also ar-
rested. They were all conveyed to Vincennes.
General Lamoriciere and M. Theirs were among
these. At the moment of his arrested General Chan-
gamier harangued the troops sent to take him ; but
the soldiers refused to listen to him, and his voioe was
drowned in the noise of drums. A battalion is still
posted close to his lodgings, and is employed in
making searches in the neighbourhood. General
Cavaignac is arrested, as are also the following mem-
bers of the Assembly :—Charras, Roger du Nord,
Bedeau, Le FIO, Baune, Greppo, Baze, Miot, Nadaud,
and Valentin. Among these you will recognize
several names of the Mountain. The whole Board
of the Assembly is said to have been arrested.
Charras is said to have killed one of the men
who attempted to arrest him. M. Dupin has re-
turned to his former house in the Rue du Bac, and
has invited the representatives to meet there. His
hotel is occupied militarily. M. Mallac, former chef
de cabinet of M. Duchatel, has been arrested. Se-
veral offices of papers have been occupied militarily;
among these are the National, Opinion Publique,
A/Imager, Republique, Ordre, and Avenement, which
papers are suspended. The director-general of the
post has been ordered to reserve to • day and to-morrow
all the places of the malles-postes for the prefects, sub-
prefects, and other functionaries who are repairing to
their posts.
The President is making, at this moment, the round
of the principal quarters of Paris.
General Roquet, his aide-de-camp, has just ridden,
at a walk, along the Boulevards, with two or three
orderlies. He is received with deafening cheers of
" Vive la Republique I"
All the avenues of the Legislative Palace are beset
with troops. A line of infantry extends from the
Port Royale along the Quai D'Orsay. The cavalry
occupies the Place de la Concorde as far as the Rond
Point, the Quai Billy, and the bridge.
The Boulevards and streets generally are at this
hour, 3 P.M., crowded with people.
The President is removed from the Elys6e to the
Tuileries. The entrance to the gardens is of course
inaccessible. The Carrousel is fall of troops and
cannon.

Some additional facts may, perhaps, be gleaned
from the following :—The most extraordinary feature
in this most important affair was the apparent calm of
the people on reading these proclamations and wit-
nessing the arrangements that had been made to en-
sure the success of the enterprise. Here and there,
indeed, the proclamations were torn down and defaced,
but this was by no means general.
The approaches to the National Assembly and the
Elysee were guarded at an early hour, but at the out-
side of the line of troops a considerable crowd had
collected, and many persons exclaimed, " Il a Bien
fait," but there were fewer cries than usual in poli-
tical demonstrations.
At about eleven o'clock an attempt was made by
about forty members of the Assembly to force their
way to the Legislative Palace, but they were all
turned back. The Tuileries Gardens were closed,
and a report was current, in the course of the day,
that the President of the Republic would take up his
residence in the Palace of the Tuileries.

Several important political arrests were made at a
very early hour this morning, but there are various
rumours as to the number, and the persons who have
been arrested. The following are mentioned :—M.
Dupin, the President of the National Assembly, who
is said to be garde a vue : Bedeaui one of the vice-
presidents ; Generals Cavaignac, Changarnier, La-
morici4e, and General Perrot, es-Commander-in-
Chief of the National Guards, and General Foils, ex-
Chief of the Staff, Colonel Charras, M. de Laroche-
jaquelein, M. Roger du Nord, Nadaud, Michel de
Bourges, and M. Greppo, and other members of the
Mountain. It is rumoured that General Cavaignac
made great resistance, but was overpowered. Orders
were, it is said, given to arrest M. Thiers, but we
learn that he did not sleep at home.
Up to the time of going to press the capital was
tranquil. There is not the slightest agitation in the
faubourgs.

The President of the Republic, attended by a bril-
liant staff, left the Elysee at about half-past ten
o'clock this morning, and went along the Quills. He
was saluted with loud cries of " Vive la Republique !
Vive Napoleon !"
It is a curious fact, in connexion with the im-
portant events of this day, that the 2d December is
the anniversary of the coronation of the Emperor
Napoleon in 1804, and of the battle of Austerlitz in
1805.

Perhaps at such a moment a few details as to the
outward appearance of Paris, that fall within the
scope of one's own observation, may not be unin-
teresting. I was no sooner up, at eight, this morning,
than our concierge told me the Place de la Concorde
was full of troops. I proceeded immediately along
the Boulevards to the Madeleine. Very few people
were in the streets at that hour. The first thing
which struck me was that the telegraphic wire which
passes along the Boulevards communicating with
the ministries and forts and the railways was cut.
I saw a small post before the Ministry of Foreign
Affairs. If any people appeared on the balconies,
they were instantly warned back by sentries posted
at the corners of the streets. When I reached the
front of the Madeleine, I found the Rue Royale
regularly occupied with troops. I observed a strong
post before No. 3, Rue du Faubourg de St. Honore,
Changarnier's lodging. The rumour was that he was
now lodged at Vincennes. The Rue de Faubourg
St. Honore was lined with troops as far as the
Elysee. I passed without obstruction as far as the
Place de la Concorde, which was wholly occupied by

troops, with their arms piled, and with several cannon
, in the centre near the Obelisk.
A. regiment of Lancers was drawn up along the
quay towards Passy. No carriages were allowed to
cross the bridge opposite the Assembly, but I was
allowed to cross on foot. The steps and garden of
the legislative palace were cccupied by the Republican
guard in their yellow cross-belts.
The Place de Bourgoyne, opposite the back en-
trance of the Assembly, was occupied by troops with
cannon. Opposite the Ministry of War I first fell in
with the four proclamations, which I send herewith
by express. Scarcely a soul had yet looked at them ;
they had just been posted. Having copied their
tenour, I proceeded to the Telegraphic Office, at the
Ministry of the Interior. The dispatch was refused.
Orders had been received to let none pass. But
having learned that others who came after me had
been authorised by the Minister of the lior
send the news, I returned, and succeeded
innter proc to
ur-
ing the same leave. Quicker than I can describe the
proclamations were posted up all over Paris ; and in
two or three hours the streets were crowded with
people.

(From the Morning Post Correspondent.)
PARIS, TUESDAY EVENING.
The President, as I told you in a few hurried lines
this forenoon, has executed the coup d'etat into which
he was forced .by the Assembly. The walls are co-
vered with proclamations by Louis Napoleon.
The late representatives are in perfect dismay.
Thousands of troops are in the Place de la Concorde,
and around the Hall of the Assembly. A few
minutes ago I saw Henri de la Rochejaquelein de-
mand admission there ; it was accorded to him
amidst the apphuse of an immense concourse of
people.

The Prefect of Police announces that all attempts
at disorder will be instantly and severely suppressed.
Rumours fly in every direction. It is said that
Generals Changarnier and Lamoriciere, and M.
Thiers, have ken lodged in the Chateau de Vin-
cennes.

At the Ely!4e throngs of General Officers have been
pressing around the President with offers of support.

The streets are crowded with troops and with ani-
mated masses of people. The scene is most pictu-
resque, and not a little exciting.
Events will now move swiftly.

OVERLAND MAIL

INDIA.

We have received by express our usual dispatches in
anticipation of the Overland Mail from India. The
dates are Bombay, November 3; Calcutta, October 22;
Madras, 25.

Our correspondent writes as follows:--
,BOMBAY, Nov. 3,
Close on the dispatch of last mail. on the 17th of Oc-
tober, I sent you a few lines, to inform you of a serious
riot on the part of the Mahomedan population, which
had, that afternoon, or rather noon, occurred in the
native town, in which several parties, chiefly policemen,
had been severely beaten and wounded with swords and
sticks. By the intrepid conduct of Captain Baynes,
superintendent of police, and his small force, the rioters
were speedily dispersed, upwards of 90 of them being
taken into custody, and who now await their trial
before the Supreme Court. Early that morning it
was spread abroad that a disturbance was to take
place, and some thousands of Musselmen congregated at
the Grand Mosque, ostensiely for prayer, but in reality
with the view to share in the riot agreed upon pre-
viously. The cazee, or high priest, having heard of
the intended row, harangued the multitude in the mosque,
pointing out to them the danger and absurdity of what
they meditated, but he was silenced by a fanatic, who
stood up and told the people that, as true followers of
the Prophet, they should not forgive the insult offered to
his and their faith by the publication in a Parsee news-
paper of a portrait and history of the life of Maliomed,
the former of which, owing to bad printing, appeared to
them to be intended as a caricature, though, in reality,
the drawing was 'a tolerably fair one. What tended most
to inflame the Mahomedans was that one of these por-
traits, one eye of which was daubed or obliterated in the
printing, was stuck up on the wall near the main en-
trance of the mosque, with some jeeriug and ribald lines
written underneath, referring to the maimed appearance
of the prophet, who, in the biographical sketch, was re-
pree.ented as a man of beautiful and noble appearance.
So soon as the Arab had ended his address in the
mosque, by calling on the assemblage to join him in a
battle for the faith, they all rushed out and commenced
an attack on the small party of police close by, and
such people as came in their way. They pro-
ceeded to the neighbouring Parsee streets and
commenced destroying the houses and everything they
could lay hands on, many of the inmates being severely
ill used and beaten. Parsee liquor-shops were brok4
into, and the liquor thrown into the gutters. About
7,0001. worth of property is said to have been destroyed.
An aged Parsee merchant and his son, a boy of eight
years of age, were dragged from a carriage and severely
beaten, the child's eye being knocked out by a blow
from a bludgeon. Eight or ten police, four or five Par-
sees, and a European constable, named Storey, were
put hors de combat ; most of them have recovered, the
remainder are in hospital. So soon as Captain Baynes,
and the senior magistrrte, Mr. Spens, heard of the
ruw, tbey hastened to the spot. The former got a
couple of strokes on the legs, and the rioters tried to
unhorse him ; but he galloped through them fearlessly,
his sepoys at his heels ; and in half an hour the
streets were as quiet as if they had never been in-
habited. Great excitement and alarm prevailed and still
continued among the Parsees, as reports have been
daily published by one English and several Parsee papers
to the effect that to-morrow, the last day of the Mo-
hurrum, a general massacre of every Parsee found
abroad is to take place. The most atrocious deeds are
said to have been committed by the Mahomedans—
women have been violated, and heaven knows what be-
side—the whole story being alleged to be false by the
police authorities, before whom no such charges have
been made by the Parsecs against the Moslems. In
truth, the articles published in tho Telegraph have al-
ways appeared to me most injudicious—calculated to
stir up deadly strife, rather than allay agitation, and
the ill-feeling undoubtedly prevalen►. Since the 17th, a
company of Sepoys, under a captain and two subalterns,
has been :daily posted in the market near the
great mosque, Juma Musjid. This evening this
guard is to be increased, and 100 men and
two officers of the 78th Highlanders aro to be
posted in the native town, as to-night the Taboots
are to be taken in procession through the principal
streets. To-morrow all the troops in garrison are to be
at their barracks ready to turn out should any distur-
bance take place. The Taboots will be brought out
about one or two o'clock, noon, to be thrown into the
sea at Back•bay, and all will be over by six, when it is
hoped and believed things will return to their usual state
of tranquillity. Should the rabble Mahomedans get any
pretext there will doubtless be a row, but it will quickly
be put down. Ten Europeans and 200 natives have been
engaged as special constables, and it is expected they
will be permanently retained, as the present police force
is evidently too small for the duties required of them—
only 800 foot and about 50 horsemen for the whole
island, to preserve the lives and property of upwards of
half a millon inhabitants.

There is to be an expedition after all from Peshawur
into the hills against the tribe of Momunds of Mitchnee,
who have been amongst the foremost of our tormentors.
Sir Colin Campbell is to command in person, his force to
consist of 2,500 men, chiefly Europeans. There cannot
be a doubt as to the result of this dour; if we catch them
or can come at them, they will pay for their misdeeds—
and no doubt Sir Colin hopes he may catch them. In my
last I told you that Captain Coke's force had kept Kohat
in progress to the newly acquired Valley of the Dour.
The last accounts from him are from a place called Koo-
rum, in the Meeranzaie Valley. Re states that he was
succeeding wonderfully in the settlement of the lands;
the crops were splendid, and the people able strapping
fellows, extremely civil and obliging, and evidently de-
lighted with having obtained the protection they desired.
The force consisted of the Ist Patti nub Infantry and Ist
Cavalry, two 9-pounders, and one 24-pounder howitzer,
with a company of Sappers. They did not expect to cross
the Koorum river, but if they did they would cross the
Wnzeeree hills into Bunnoo, and back to Kohat by the
salt custom-houses of Nuree or Bahadur Khail. Sick-
ness, unhappily, was setting in at Peshawar; but once
the troops got on the march, they would speedily get all
right again. Mr. R. Montgomery has become junior

Netherlands India is now at Calcutta; he intends pro-
ceeding through the north-west to Bombay, vid Scrods
and Kurrachee; from this he proceeds home overland.
His advent at Calcutta gave rise to numberless articles
on the niggardliness of the Supreme Government in not
keeping part of Governor. nt House always in order for
toe reception of "illustrious visitors." Sir Richmond
Shakespeare has been restored to his former berth at
G walicr; Major Malcolm, who had been removed
from Joudpore to succeed him, has been appointed
"Political Agent at Gwalicr," a berth apparently
created to avoid the necessity of sending him back to
' his old appointment It is reported that Sir G. R. Clerk
returns to Bombay as Governor, on Lord Falkland's re-
tirement. We hope this may turn out true, as Sir
George was, or rather would have been, an excellent
ruler, had he not been thwarted in all his measures by
the members of his council—Messrs. Willoughby and
Reid, who were represented by him as constantly and
systematically opposing his views. A number of copies
of minutes by Lord Falkland and his council on Baroda
affairs have been seized on their way to interested
parties in that city: they had been surreptitiously ob-
tained from the secretariat, from which office it is be-
lieved copies of any document may be obtained for.pay-

jor Jacob's (Sinde Horse) to Major M‘Murdo s
been published by some one with the view of showina"gg
how much the Major's opinion of Sir C. Napier asex--
pressed in that letter must have altered before he could
have penned the remarks which appeared in a pamphlet
recently published on the Bengal army, attributed to the
Nlsjor—he has written a long letter to the Times in ex-
planation. From his statement he certainly had little
to thank Sir Charles for; the Gallant General spoke
him fair, but requested the home authorities not to make
him a C B. for his gallantry in 1843, because the Major
had spoken his mind freely in reference to the Outran%
and Napier
quarrel.
And he only got his C.8.-ship
when he wrote to the Duke of Wellington long after-
wards, reminding him of his promise. The system
of espionage carried on in Sinde during Sir
Charle's administration was disgraceful ;
- only those
who flattered the old man was promoted—
those who denounced his policy were never forgiven.
We shall see what answer Sir Charles will give to,
the Gallant Major's damning letter. Captain Nixon,
6th Bengal Native Infantry, has been cashiered for
embezzlement. Major-General Aitchison's tour on the
staff at Madras having expired, he is about to proceed
home. His temper has always been ungovernable, and
ho has often committed gross breaches of decorum in
his language to those under him,—otherwise he has
always been reckoned a good officer. The gallant
Colonel Bradshaw, C.B. 60th Rifles, died at Kussowlie
on the 18th ult. Several deaths amongst the military
have taken place during the month, enumerated else-
where. The knapsack has been abolished by the Court
of Directors in the Native army; their kits on the march
are hereafter to be carried for them. Colonel Lawe,
chief engineer at Madras, has been bought out for 3,5001.
Colonel Cotton will succeed him. Colonel Troward, 27th
Bombay Native Infantry, Majors Davidson and
Purves, and Captain French, all of the Bombay
army, are also, it is said, about to be purchased out.
A Madras paper states that Sir R. Armstrong is
in so delicate a state of health that he will have to
return home again immediately. So much for send-
ing out poor old worn-out men to India. A helmet of
white metal, like that of the Horse Guards, is about to
be substituted in the Bombay cavalry for the present
awkward chaco. The Parsee editor who caused the late
commotion in the Musseluaan community by the publi-
cation of a portrait and history of Mohamed, who was
taken into custody on the 18th ult. by the chief magis-
trate at the instigation of the Moslem high priest to keep
him in safety from violence, at one time threatened Mr.
Spens with a prosecution for illegal imprisonment, but
he has now abandoned his intention. Had he not been
so placed in custody his life would not have been worth
much. During October 854 people died in Bombay, 19
from cholera. In September only 774 deaths took place.
I'he deaths in the European community last month
amounted to ten, three of which were from accidents. The
Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer Ganges,
1,400 tons, 500 horse-power, from London, Aug. 19,
and the Cepe Oct. 7, arrived here on Saturday, Nov. 1.
She starts from China with a mail on the 18th; she is
to be placed on our line in place of the Pekin, trans-
ferred to the Calcutta line. The Pekia had a narrow
escape from a hurricane during the last voyage from
China on the Ist and 2d of October. Mr native crew
refuted to work in the storm, six of her boats were
blown away, and but for the vessel being so strongly
built and her captain (13 iker) such a good seaman, she
must have foundered and all hands bean lost.

- - -
From Berar we learn that a fight took place on the
4th October betwixt two native chiefs and their fol-
lowers, in which about 50 were killed and as many
wounded. A fort was taken, and some of the defenders
killed. Matters at the Nizam's capital appear to be in
statu quo.
The electric telegraph betwixt Diamond Harbour and
Calcutta appears to be in full operation, an account of a
hurricane which occurred during the night of the 21st
ult. having been telegraphed to the papers at Calcutta.
No accidents bad been heard of, though it was feared
disasters to the shipping making for the mouth of the
Hooghley must have happened. There is literally nothing
to report from Sinde, except that scarcely an European
at Sakur was out of the sick list. Dr. D. Davies, of the
22d N. 1., had died there in October, after a long illness
from fever. At Kurracheo, they had nothing to com-
plain of in the way of sickness, and nothing to report in
the shape of news.

P.S.--Strong guards (a company) from all the native
corps in garrison, are to mount this afternoon in the na-

Live town—a company of the 781 Highlanders taking
post near the great mosque in the market place. All
the remainder of the garrison to be in readiness to turn
out, should they bo required. Great excitement and fear
prevail amongst the Parsee community, who are flocking
into the fort for protection. It is not likely anything
serious will take place to•nighr, though to-morrow may
see a row of some sort or other.

At Madras the banks had recently in effect been
closed, they having no money to accommodate the mer-
cantile community on any terms, having locked up all
their capital in purchasing Company's paper. The
Spectator of the 27th, to-day received, says that the
Chartered Bank had, or was about to re-commence busi-
ness as usual, having probably received a 6 upply of coin
from Government. At Calcutta five or six European
houses are believed to be on the point of closing.
