lIEVOLT OF A MILITARY SCHOOL IN FRANCE.

Letter from La Reche, Dec. s.—On Sunday hat
.the pupils of the Ist or 2d battalions of the Royal
Military School of that 'town broke out in revolt,
Ott eight o'cl)ck in the morning. Their intention
was, it is said, to unitesairogether at midnight, to
seize their arms, and then to proc'eed to the
'Champ de Mars, to form a squire ba,talion, in
°the midst of which they intended to dispose of the
youngest amongst them. A detachin• nt was then
to proceed to seize upon the Dire. or of their
•Studies : the General anti Colonel were not to he
pared, as well as several other persons. On re•
etiving intriligence of this revolt, which took
'place before the hour appointed for the execution

of the -plot; the Stati and the Director of the Stu-
flies repaired to the Court Of the Ist battalion by
the !mills, to bring them to order---their Ap•
pearance bad only the rtleet of irritating the mu-
tineers, and as they were forcing them to ascend
to their dormitories, the Director seized one of
the collar, and thrust him into 0 black-hole. lie
had been the bearer of the keys of the arms'-
rooms, and the arrest of this person de!, rayed the
prolect. On the tollw‘itig day, on descending
to the study, the pupils recommenced their revolt
tore their books, broke their desist, &'. Not to
comproinse the Professors, it 'was thought pm-
dent to suspend the elasscs, and since that time
they have remained closed. On Monday evening
thirteen pupils welt: sent away, on Inesday five,
and on ‘l's.dricsday• six. Order is not yet per-
fectly restored, and even a new insurrection is
apprehended. The second in command departed
vn Tuesday morning for Paris, for the purpose
of making a report to the Ministry.

PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE.

PARIS, DEC. 10 Laine appears to refuse
to accept of the Ministry. of Justice for that of
rhe iutetior, although the former is reputed the
first atter that of President of the Conucil, and
the beat adapted to an eloquent juris-coosult.
Such a change will not take place till he consents
to it ; but if he would comply, the change would,
among o+ her advan!ages, oiler that of allowing
the suppression of the department of police,
which can exist no longer alter the expiTy of the
laws of exception. M. le Comfit de Caws sod
Baron Pasquier would in this case have obtained
other ministerial places which we are assured
they were (VTOsed to accept. .M. Roy has ex-
pr,ssed a resolution not to preserve the office
of Under Seetetary for the Finances. He is in-
defatigable in business; he expects to be able to
accomplish all the duties of his ministry by taking
the assistance of some Committees, from whom
be can obtain infolmation, without being opposed
ill his plans. It is not at all probable, it is said,
that iii. de Barente would think of the Under-
:Secretaryship tor the Finances. The place of
Director-General of the Indirect Taxes, to which
be joins a sort of personal independence, is be-
sides of importance. The institution of Under Se-
cretaryships, which we have borrowed from you
in some department of our Administration, has
”ot with us hitherto been successful. This has
been perhaps owing to the mistake in the first
choice, among men either too weak or too nnas-
hued with the busim-ss of the bureaux, of
'Which they ought to be the directors, though for
no other object than to relieve the Ministers
from the necessity of attending to minute details,
during the Session of the Chambers. It would
appear from this, that they ought not to be De-
puties themselves, that they might not be carried
beyond their sphere by extraneous avocations,
and might remain strangers to the intrigues of
party.
