EVENTS OF NOVEMBER 19TH.
PARIS, Nov. 21.—The day before yesterday rue Saint
Denia was brilliantly illuminated, and a great crowd was
walking backward and forward. A number of individuals,
principally children, let off some fire-works, and sonic
others threw mud and stones against houses that were not
illuminated. The gendarmes on horseback interfered to
put a stop to the fire-works and to disperse groupes
people, and the summonses made by the officers were im-
mediately followed by charging the people, and giving
them blows with their sabres. Every thing, howevee,
was peaceable till half-past ten o'clock, when the charges
made by the gendarmes ,became more frequent, and then
the people began to resist. The gendarmes then retreated,
and a great number of common people and workmen, car-
rying off the scaffolding of sonic buildings now construct-
ing, began to form some barriers between the rue Gre •
neta and the rue aux Ours. They were not inter-
rupted in any manner in the work, and entrenched
behind these barricades, as well as in a house-building
in the rue della Truanderie ; and in that street which is
to form a new passage parallel to the rue du Petit-Ifurleor,
they threw showers of stones on the gendarmes when
they came near. The troops of the line, and the infantry
of the genolarmes placed in the neighbourhood, were then
brought to the spot. A column debauched by the rue
Grenata, and a summons on the part of the officer who
commanded it was instantly followed by a discharge of
musketry ; at the second charge the barricade was eva-
cuated. The column advanced, firing at the ends of the
streets by which they passed. Five platoon discharges took
place. These unhappy scenes continued till past mid-
night. We can easily imagine all the misfortunes which
resulted from a fire of musketry, directed against a closely
pressed crowd, who had not space to retreat or escape hoot
death. The horror that we feel at the view of so mach
bloodshed, when it would have been so easy to prevent it,
hardly permits usto discuss with calmness the questions to

which these terrific scenes give rise.
The Police forbade to tire squibs. Those who broke
this prohibition committed a punishable act; but these de-
monstrations have become a custom among us, which the
Police has tolerated and encouraged on all occasions when
it wished that the public joy should be made manifest. The
violence employed to make some of the inhabitants illumi-
!late, is not only a violation of the laws, but a serious in -
ferruption of public order. It is a baseness. It is revolt-
ing- to see a great crowd assail the house of some peaceable
individual, who has a right not to rejoice at an event which
is not what he wishes. This conduct is so much the less
excusable, as the public authority, which has set so many
had examples, cannot be reproached with having set
example of this kind. It allows the citizens not to
illuminate on festival days, and they have certainly made a
conspicuous use of this privilege. What sort of an ap-
pearance would Paris have made if all the windows had
been broken of the houses not illuminated last Cith of Nov. ?
Brit if these culpable acts were committed, were they of
so serious a nature that they authorised the deplorable mea-
sures to which recourse was bad? Can contravening so
order of the Police be considered a capital crime ? The
persons who fired o 3 squibs incurred a Police penalty—
those who broke windows a correctional punishment; and
they have been sabred, shot, and punished with death !
The Magistracy has traced the route to be followed in such
circumstances. It was decided in the judgment on the
effair of the funeral of M. Manuel, that there was no occa-
sion to employ force against those ,who only contravene the
iegulations of the Police. The Police is not deficient to
discover and as rest the instigators—to draw up acts of ac-
cusation, and prosecute those who have been guilty of
crimes. M. Delavau, in spite of this lesson, found it a
shorter method to bring au armed force into action, which
irritating the people by its interference, and irritated by the
resistance it experienced, soon transformed a trifling tumult
into a scene of carnage.
The law orders that seditious groups shall be dispersed
by force ; but is there any sedition in letting off squibs and
breaking windows? Since the 13th Vendemiaire, there
have been many seditions, many tumults in Paris ; but
this is the first time that musketry has sounded its mur-
derous intimations. Melancholy and evil thought ! Then
the Government defended its existence against the armed
section, formed in coluMns of attack, with all the imple-
ments of war; now the Government represses disorders
committed by groups rejoicing in the result of elections,
end having stones for their only weapons. It was Mon-
day, a day when intoxication► is not rare among the people;
it was the hour when the drinkers were returning home—
circumstances known to the police, and which ought to
have rendered it more indulgent. Let the situations and
the circumstances, and the measures employed be com-
pared, and it will be seen which—the Revolutionary Go-
vernment, or the Government of MM. de Villele, Tronchet,
and Delivau—has shewn itself most gratuitously prodigal

of the blood of the citizens.
A great multitude collected yesterday in the rue Saint
Denis, looking with consternation at the traces of the battle
of the night before; the walls and windows marked with
balls ; the number of the wounded and killed were men-
tioned, and the people inquired if there had been a revolt
and a revolution. Alas! there was an illumination, a few
squibs, and a few broken windows—and for this blood was
shed.
We shall see how the public authorities will explain these
events, and if they will deplore the miseries brought on
by a repressive force, so out of proportion to the crimes
committed. If the Ministers seek to profit by this blood-
shed, and cry out "a revolution !"—if they tell the electors
of the great colleges they must vote for them because
French citizens have perished by the hands of Frenchmen;
then every thing will be explained—then we shall under-
stand how these unhappy scenes may serve to re-awaken
absurd terrors, and justify striking a blow, according to
the 14th Article of the Charter. We can only judge of
the events of November 19th by the language of authority
in describing-its causes.
The scenes; of the 19th were renewed yesterday with
,ziore mischief, and under circumstances more significant.
Croscds •of tumultuous ragged people traversed the streets
of St. ii!artin and St. Denis, throwing stones against the
windows, and calling out, " lights, lights." The inha-
bitants, intientie.lated, obeyed. The mob then traversed
rues St. Honore Grenelle, du Bouloi, Croix-de-Petits-
Champs, committing the same excesses. Serious quarrels
occurred in many places between the mob and the in-
habitants, but the latter were not supported by the Armed
force. The Guard National would have promptly repressed
such disorders. The armed force, attacked on the boule-
vards; began at a fate hour to act, and then the fire of the
infantry carried death among the groups collected in rue
St. Denis. We will not afflict our readers by the descrip-
tion of the melancholy ecenes, before we have 'ascertained
the particulars.
We have heard, that in consequence of a letter of M.
Jussieu, the Council of Prefkture has issued a Decree,
erasing General Paultre de .Lamotte from the list of Elec-
tors. The General is Commander-in-Chief of the De-
partment of du Nord, and President of the Electoral Col-
lege. If this is not forbidden by the law, it is at least
improper to appoint him President of a College in a town
where he commands the troops.

Pssts,Noy. 21.—Towards ten o'clock in the evening
a report was spread that musketry was firing in the rue
St. Denis, whicla lasted till midnight. The troops are
drawn up in military order in our neighbourhood—more
we know not, but we know that melancholy sentiments
MI all hearts. It is impossible 40t to recollect that on the
day of the famous review of the National Guard, the troops
were collected iu the square, and drawn up in order of
battle behind yallisedoes, and were provided with a formi-
dable train of artillery; it was unnecessary to terrify the
Monarch with the idea of horrible dangers. The Ministers
are now in danger—the Opposition have a legitimate hope.
The garrison of Paris is placed under arms—blood is shed,
and the Minister fights in rue St. Denis his battle of -Na-
yarit'. We know who will profit by these scenes,
whoever may have caused them. The Ministerial
Journals warn the electors of the departments that the
revolutionary party celebrated the victories of the Char-
ter with cries of " Yiye l'Empereur !" There is a pro-
digious deal of impudence in defaming the Electoral
Colleges of France, imputing to those who voted for the
Ministers four years ago, and now vote against them—and
who constitute 80,000 of the richest men in the kingdom—
a conspiracy to overturn our Constitution. Every thing
which passes confirms what we have long ago said ; viz.—
thit the Ministry, in contending against the reprobation
which justly weighs on them, has compromised every thing,
and will put every thing to hazard. To remain in office
a little longer, they have in four years sacrificed the Na-
tional Guard, the liberty pf the Press, the Chamber of
Peers. It has deprived Royalty of the rampart, which it
would have found in a case of necessity, in the considera-
ticn acquired by the Upper Chamber on account of its pru-
deice. Who can new tell what. other institutions they
wit sacrifice before their own altars?
!We learn from Arras, that the success of the Opposition
at the College of the Department is certain. M. Capet
Lecquet, former President of the Tribunal of Commerce,
ihe Constitntional Candidate. M. Hark, who wee the
other Candidate at the College of the Arrondissement, and

in favour of whom M. Capet Loequet had resigned, has di
rected to the support of the latter, his relative and friend,
all his vote,,.

(From the Constitutionne/ of Wednesday.)
Pants, Nov. 20.—The Meniteur said some days since.
" In England the time of elections is marked by violence
and excesses, during which the laws seem to sleep. This
disorder does not suit our manners." No, but the loud de-
monstratione of joy, otherwise inoffensive shouts, illumi-
nations, end squibs, do suit French manners. That which
does not suit the manners of any people, is the shootine-
add cutting down people assembled in the streets, sonic
actors and others as spectators of the fete : it does not seir
the atrocious manners of Spatris and Bostangis to kill flee,
who are passing by, and fire on those who, from a curie ,
situ, look out of the windows to see what is doing in the
street ; and to commit those acts of last night, which
caused indignation in the most commercial and most popu-
lous part of Paris, in rue St. Denis, acid rue St. Martin.
About ten o'clock last night, a group of about twenty
or five-and-twenty ragged boys went from the Boulevard
du Nord towards the Place de Vendome, bearing lighted
torches. Tide group, followed by some curious per-
sons, stopped opposite the hotel of Count Peyronnet,
raising cries, among which prevailed that of " Vice it
Chartre," Almost at the same time about sixty gene-
d'armes, with sabree in their hands, came suddenly from
the Courts of the Staff of the place, and rushed into the
rue do la Paix, stopped the passage on that side, while
the infantry also coining from the hotel of the Staff, in
marching order, cut off the communication with rue Casti-
glione. Thus, snared like wild beasts, the passengers, to
the number of 300 or 400, were pushed towards the hotel
of the Staff, and brought before a Commissary of Police,
who was installed in his office. Thus every one having
beet' interrogated as to their namee, profession, and resi-
deuce, every one was obliged to say why, in proceeding from
rue St. Honor to go to the Boulevard, or from the Boulevard
to go to rue St. flonor6, or rue Rivoli, he had dared to
cruse the Place de Vendome. On the slightest hesitation
or agitation shewn by them, which would be very natural,
they were conducted into an upper apartment. We do
net know the number of such, or what has been directed
to be done with them. The others obtained permission
to return home.
Things were carried on in a more brutal and violent
manner in the quarter of St. Denis. The persons who have
witnessed these deplorable scenes assure ns that the half of
those persons in the street were young artisans from 12 to,
15 years of age; that there were infants and women, among
them there were blackguards, in rags, none of whom ap-
peared sufficiently rich to make such an expenditure. Who
then furnished them with the means for that purpose?
Among the crowd were some ill-looking fellows, with large
parcels of fire-works, who called out continually, " Who
wants squibs ?—let off the squibs !—rejoice at the election!"
None of these persons have been arrested, though the Po-
lice were there in great numbers. But it was remarked,
that by an inconceivable fatality, when the armed force ar-
rived, these persons had disappeared.
Numerous parties of the Police had passed through the
crowd with sufficient celerity to disturb the people; the
carriages which came up, and which were kept back by
the squibs, seem to have given some silly persons the idea
of barricadoing the street. Accordingly, a barricade was
formed, and from within it loud, shouts of joy, and bursts
of laughter were heard. Towards half-past ten, some de-
tashmeuts of infantry anti of horse and foot gens d'armee,
preceded by a drum, which beat a charge, appeared through
rue Grenelat, and occupying the whole width of rue St.
Denis, beat back every body to the barricades, which were
overturned. Some accident must inevitably have occurred
there, but as the barricades were almost immediately re-
stored, and the noise of crackers, laughter, and shouts soon
recommenced, we may imagine they were neither very
serious or very numerous. A second was made about half-
past eleven, and then several discharges of musketry, and
a number of wounds of bayonets, sabres, anti swords on
every side, produced a vast ntunber of deplorable events.
The Cour Royale of the department of La Seyne has not
allowed the crime of the Abbe Contrafatto to remain j
without condemnation. The catastrophes of the 19th No-
vember call more loudly fel• its attention and its severity.
The system of provocation must have an end, and the
agents of that atrocious system must cease to enjoy an
odious impunity. To prevent disorder was the duty of
the police, and to stop it in its course seemed an easy thing.
We conjure all the citizens not to serve the projects of j
their enemies, by giving rise to hypocritical complaints.—
Let them cease every proof of joy, every illumination, and
reserve them for the day of the Minister's fall—for the day
when a Constitutional Minister shall knew all the respect
he owes to the throne, and the indulgence be ought to
extend to the ardour of public joy.
A number of wretches, with candles and torches, ran
through the streets on the night of the 20th armed with
stones, and broke a great number of windows, under pre-
tence of forcing the inhabitants to light up their houses.
We understand at the moment we supposed all agitation
in the metropolis had ceased, large detachments of the line
and horse and foot gem d'armes, proceeded to rue St.
Tien's, and charged and fired on the citizens.
The language of the Official Journal is quite changed ;
those whom it rejected yesterday with proud disdain, whom
it endeavoured to outrage with so much insolence, are to-
day in its eyes honest men, honourable people, devoted citi-
zens, Deputies worthy of the high mission they have just
received. But those who have been elected by the nation
repulse in their turn these tardy praises of the Ministers.
