" DE VINCENT."

The following proclamation was issued by the
Prefect of the department du Nord on the receipt of
the news from Paris
" Inhabitants of the department du Nord,—Lonis
Napoleon Bonaparte, the elect of the people, who has
been invested by the national will with the right of
watching over the security and grandeur of France has
baffled by his patriotic acts the factious schemes. of
parties. Whilst these parties, a prey to intastme
rivality, caused pertubation in public opinion, and op-
posed themselves to the peaceable development of the
productive forces of the country, Louis Napoleon Bona-
parte, devoted to its agricultural and manufacturing, its
material and moral interests, has put an end to that
painful situation. In the name of the • people, in the
' name of society and order, compromised by in-
sensate machinations, Louis Napoleon Bonaparte
proclaims the maintenance ot the Republic,
and calls on France alone to raise her sovereign
voice to decide herself on her proper destinies. That is
a certain pledge of alliance between the nation and the
President. Inhabitants of the department du Nord, you
have confided the deposit of your rights, your interests,
your tranquillity, to the hands of Louis Napoleon Bona-
parte. He would not allow that deposit to be changed
by the encroachments of parties; and he has dispersed
them. This great mission of patriotism and order, the
object of which is the salvation ot France is worthy of
being understood, and approved by all. For my part,
called on to associate myself to this undertaking of de-
votedness, I am resolved to concentrate all my energy
to it. I will hesitate at no sacrifice to cause to triumph
in your department the principles of liberty and order,
principles which protect labour and industry ; and auy
insensate attack on them shall be followed by a prompt
and exemplary repression. I have a right to your conti
deuce, and I count on your co-operation.

" LESSON."

The Moniteur du Loiret gives the following ac
count of the attempt made on the 3d instant to seize
on the Hotel de Ville of Orleans :
" Messrs. Martin and Michot-Boulet, representatives,
had written to their friends that they would arrive from
Paris on Wednesday. This they did at about eleven in
the morning in a chaise de poste, and alighted at the
house of a democrat of their acquaintance. Atter a
short stay, they set out at the head of some hundreds of
persons who had been informed of what was going on,
amidst cries from their followers of ' Vivo le Constitu-
tion,' each man wearing on his hat a white paper bearing
the words Republique et Constitution. Other persons
joined them as they went along, the two representatives
warmly shaking hands with every new comer.
They proceeded straight from the Place de I'Etapo to
the Hotel de Ville, and at once made a rush to obtain
possession of the building. A few National Guards, who
were lounging on the steps, opposed all the resistance in
their power, the assailants above all endeavouring to
seize on the arms which were piled up inside. Some
other National Guards having come out, on hearing the
noise, the assailants were prevented from entering, bat
the struggle still continued. The deputy-mayors,
being apprised of what was passing, hurried to the
spot, and one of them, M. de Massy remonstrated with
the two representatives on the folly of their conduct.
One of them said that they would cease at once if a
proclamation was issued by the authorities contrary
to those which had just taken place at Paris. M.
Martin added that, as a means of conciliation, he
asked to be introduced with his colleague to the
Mayor. In order to gain time, this was consented to,
and the two representatives were introduced into the
cabinet which was occupied by the Mayor. M. Martin
then asked whether their liberty would be in all cases
protected. The reply was, that as the whole authority
was vested in tho hands of the military, no guarantee
could be given on the point. Just at this moment, the
troops of the line surrounded the Hotel de Ville, so that
it became utterly impossible for any one to leave the
building. General Grand, accompanied by several offi-
cers and men, entered the Hotel do Ville, and gave
orders to have the representatives arrested. The muni-
cipal authorities thereupon observed to the General that
the two representatives had entered into conference with
the Mayor, on the consent of his deputies. The
General replied, that being invested with full powers of
every kind, he could not pay attention to any act of the
municipal body. The two representatives were then ar-
rested without any difficulty, as well as a crowd of other
persons; some of them were concealed in the garrets.
Not less than 47 persons were marched off to prison
without the slightest manifestation being made in their
favour by the population. Amongst these persons are
the two representatives, Doreira, ex-prefect; Tavernier,
editor of the Constitution; several compositors of the
same journal, Ferreol, an advocate, &c. In the evening
the town was perfectly calm. A proclamation from
General Grand was placarded everywhere in two hours
after the attempt on the Hotel de Ville. It declared
that as the state of siege had been proclaimed in the
first military division, of which Orleans formed part,
the General was resolved to use the most, severe mea-
sures towards any one who should disturb public order.
He added that the union between the troops and Na-
tional Guards was complete."
General BOURJOLLY has been dispatched to Bor-
deaux to proclaim that city in a state of siege. The
authorities have, it is said, declared against the Pius.
SIDENT.

The following representatives are retained priso-
ners in the fortress of Mont Valerian :—General de
Lauriston, General Oudinot, de Reggio, M. Pisca-
tory, M. Thuriot de la Rosiere, M. Eugene Sue, M.
Pascal Duprat, M. Anthony Thouret, and seven other
Montagnards.
It is said that the greater number of those killed
on Thursday were passengers and spectators who be-
came entangled among the barricades ; the insur-
gents, whose great object appears to have been to tire
the troops, always retiring. Among these unfortu-
nate victims of curiosity are Mr. PARISS, the English
apothecary, and Mr. HOFF, a brother of the well-
known dentist.

M. DE MONTALEMDEET, and consequently, as a
matter of course, the Jesuit organ, the Univers,
