THE LATE RIOTS IN FRANCE.

PARIS, MONDAY.

Yesterday Paris had entirely resumed its accustomed
appearance. The crowd which always throngs the capital
on Sunday circulated on the boulevards and in the other
frequented parts of the city, but nowhere was there to
be found the slightest trace of the agitation of the pre-
ceding days. At Belleville and Menilmontant there
was not even a crowd, except at the entrance of one street,
and this was composed chiefly of women. The autho-
rities, however, have not relaxed their vigour. The
kfreil continues to be seized, accusations of circulating
false news or exciting to hatred and contempt are preferred
against numerous writers, several of the provincial papers
are in trouble, and a very fair proportion of the Paris

populace is in gaol.
The Monde assures us that we shall speedily know all
about the riots ; the authorities have got possession of
important papers containing some exceedingly curious
revelations, and the thread of this complicated affair
will soon be unwound. The Monde says it is already
proven that these distrzbances were not the work
of chance, that they were not got up by rcughs for the
mere sake of mischief, they were organised on a well
studied plan, persistently recommenced every evening,

and carried out by paid agents. The Pattie supports this

statement. It, too, asserts that there has been a large
seizure of papers, but that the inquiries of the authorities
are not yet complete. Both journals ridicule the notion
that the disturbances were got up by the Government.
What bad Imperialism to gain by creating a row of this
kind ? they ask ; but the difficulty is to divine who
possibly could profit by the riots, unless it were the
roughs who received payment for their agreeable
services. It is possible that the adherents of
Rochefort may have been guilty of these miserable

enteutes; but Rochefort must have known that by
countenancing such outbreaks he would destroy for ever
his hope of sitting in the Corps Legislatif, of which he has
still, barring insurrection, a very good chance. He has
already been chosen the Red candidate for the reddest of
the Paris circumscriptions—the first, vacant by Cambetta's
election for Marseilles. Moreover, the journal identified
with him has discountenanced the riot; if that be worth
anything.

Awaiting the result of these promising investigations,
we may safely assume that the Parisians, as a people,
have had nothing to do with these disturbances. The
earlier tumults on Monday and Tuesday were rather
agreeable than otherwise. They were a novelty. After so
many years of complete tranquillity, the Parisians were
pleased to have a little rioting, and they accordingly
flocked in crowds to the Boulevard Montmartre and
other standpoints. People may, however, have too much
of a good thing. One or two nights' rioting was all very
well ; but four nights of this dangerous sport, culminating
as it did in the wanton mischief of Thursday, was decidedly
too much. "On Thursday night," says the Damt.3 " the
public began to be tired of the same spectacle renewed for
three successive days, and then disquietude beset many
people. It was rumoured that energetic measures were
about to be adopted to repress the disturbances. The factwas
known that during the day the police had emptied the
gunmakers' shops, even in the quarters most distant from
the tumult. A regiment of cuirassiers had arrived from
Versailles. The whole day masses of people had succeeded
each other on the boulevards, where the traces of the
violence committed on the preceding night caused a
painful impression. Seen in the broad day and in cool
blood, these damages, at which the people laughed the
previous evening, no longer amused anybody. In short,
half from weariness, Paris had enough of disturbance.
Thus the arrival of the cavalry on the Boulevard was very
well received, and the pavement was cleared without
resistance. The crowd would very willingly have aided
the soldiers if the few agitators scattered amongst the
groups had shewn any disposition to resist."

This is a very fair history of the week's proceedings
To many of the inhabitants these riots were no joke from
the beginning,. They were far from being fun in the eyes
of the poor people whose kiosks were overturned, or of the
caf6 proprietors who were obliged to close at a time when
their most remunerative business commences. And they
are certainly no sport to the multitudes of miserable
mortals who are now in prison, many of them
having committed no offence beyond that of
looking on. Evidence that the respectable classes
rapidly grew disgusted with the whole affair
is abundant. It is a fact that there is now lying at the
Bourse Police Commissary's a petition, signed by 800
persons, praying to be enrolled as special constables after
the English fashion. A letter is published in one of the
Liberal papers from twenty-eight householders of Belle-
ville and Menilmontant, declaring that the people of their
quarter were actuated by no seditious spirit, that the
withurities made no real effort to put a stop to the distur-
bances, which, these householders do not hesitate to say,
were got up to throw discredit upon the Socialists. I may
further remark that, on Sunday night, when a mob of
men in blouses came up in the Rue du Faubourg Mont-
martre, the inhabitants at once came out and ordered them
off, calling up some sergents-de-ville. Some arrests effected
just then sheaved the motive of, at least, some of the
rioters. Many of them, poorly clad, had large sums of
money on their persons. The damages caused to the
kiosks, the markets, and the shops during the late riots
is estimated at £2,400. But to this must be added
the losses incurred at the cafes and other establishments
on the boulevards, closed about eight o'clock, and thus
deprived of the sale necessary to meet their enormous
expenses. These people, you may be sure, are very little
disposed to revolution.
Worst of all has been the fate of the miserable wretches
who have been hurried off to different places of
confinement. The estimates differ considerably; but the
Patric, a semi-official paper, puts the total number of
arrests in round numbers at 1,100! This captive
army is confined in the Fort of Bicetre, situated
to the south of Paris. It is not easy to get admission
to the stronghold, but some gentlemen Li the press have
been there, and bring bank the general impression that the
prisoners are very uncomfortable, and that many who
have paid thus dearly for no offence worse than curiosity
are very miserable. The fort is overcrowded with
such a number, and those who have been con-
fined several days are in a state of great prostration.
Domiciliary visits and arrests continue to be made. A
member of Cambetta's electoral council, M. May, presi-
dent of the electoral meetings at the Salle Moll:re, and
numerous writers and students, have been carried off from
their homes.

A disturbance which took place at St. Etienne was
somewhat serious. In this neighbourhood a band of miners,
about 200 in number, went about from place to place in
the basin of the Loire on Friday, and spee.lily got up a
great strike. Men left work in all directions, instigated,
apparently, by the rumour that a great rebellion had
taken place in the large towns. They male no demand for
increased salary, or other requests of the kind. They
committed grave excesses en Friday and the following day,
but troops were sent for, and the news of order in Paris
soon put an end to this singular riot.

The Duc de Persigny's letter "To a Statesman" is the
subject of comment in almost all the journals, and almost
all express the same opinion upon it. The Duke rightly
says that reforms are wanting, but he dues nut indicate in
any way the precise change which be thinks best, nor
does he mention a single statesman who might enter into
tho coropaitim 9f the _NW Cabinet.
