" A SEIZURE BY WEEK.

"The Voix du Peuple was seized yesterday. The in.
criminated articles are:—

" 1. An article commencing with these words,—'Acts
of the counter-revolution—the proconsulate—and finish-
ing thus:—The government will end like a bravache de
cornedie in the midst of hootings and hissings.'
"2. An article, commencing by these words:—' Let
all hesitatirg minds look about and learn. The danger
is not above but below;' and finishing thus, 'Below, re-
spect for law—above, conspiracy.'
" The Government has resolved upon killing the Voix
du l'euple, as it has already killed three or four Repub-
lican organs. Baste! The Voix du Peuple has yet three
weeks to live. Three weeks ! in time of revolution it is
an age: more is not necessary to save the Republic, and
to render a coup d &at impossible."
An electoral meeting of democratic Socialist elec-
tors of Paris was held on Thursday evening. The
police did not interfere, and the proceedings passed

by the High Court of Justice of Versailles ; in the
Ariege, M. PILHES, brother of one of the persons
condemned; in the Haute-Loire, M. F. MAIGNE,
brother of another condemned person ; and in the
Nievre, C. GAMBON, brother of the N. GAMEoN
who was condemned.

M. Logs 114..aNc has addressed tha following let-
ter to the editor of the Patrie :
" Sir,—You have stated that a letter of mine, which
arrived in Paris en Friday, advised a manifestation.
This, sir, is completely false, and the audacity of the
affirmations which I found on this point in the Napoleon
and the Patrie would be enough to ccnfound one, if one
could be at all astonished at anything on the part of
certain persons.
_ _

"1 shall tell you, sir, what I think of an &mute. I
think that you and the others have, at this moment, in-
tereet in exciting one, and that it will servo wonderfully
the odious system of provocation practised in this re-
gard towards the people.—l • have the honour, &c.,
"Louts BLANC."
M. Tutoourt has arrived in Paris as Ambassador
from Greece to the French Republic.
The Prefect of the department of the Haute Vienne
has suspended from the exercise of their functions 50
communal schoolmasters out of 175 in that depart-
ment. The Attorney-General of Bellac and his
substitute, together with three justices of the peace,
have been dismissed at the recommendation of the
Prefect. '

The steam-frigates Gomer and Asmodee have been
ordered to proceed to Belle Isis., to receive on board

At the sitting of the Assembly yesterday, M.
LAPCUR put a question to the Ministry on the sub-
ject of the treatment of M. PitonDno-N.

M. FERDINAND BARROT, Minister of the In-
terior, replied that the Government pleaded
but only of indulgence and weakness. A man had
been legally condemned for incessant attacks against
the institutions of the country, and against every
element of society. Proceedings against him were
ordered by an almost unanimous vote of the Consti-
tuent Assembly, and he had been actually condemned
by the public sentiment before his legal condemnation.
Sentenced to three years' imprisonment,M. PROUDIION
should have been removed to a prison situate out of
Paris. Instead of that he was allowed to remain in
Paris to communicate with his family, friends, and
adherents ; and, strange to say, although in the
bands of justice, to continue his incendiary pro-
paganda. N. BAREOT had thought proper to put an
end to such a scandal, and carry into effect
the prison regulations towards N. PROUDHON.
The latter was not, however, placed in solitary con-
finement. He was merely forbidden to communicate
with his adherents out of doors, but he could freely
circulate in the prison, and visit his companion!. He
had been what is called consigned during forty-eight
hours. He is now in the Conciergerie, closely
watched, deprived of all intercourse with the external
anarchists, but allowed to receive his wife and family.
BOYESSET proposed a vote of censure on the
Government for their treatment of AL PROUDHON,
which was rejected by a majority of 434 to 169.
