Altered in the name of the students ! The young men who signed these
placards in behalf of their classes tame forward and avowed their act,
and denied having sanctioned withdrawal or disavowal of them. How.
neer, to put an end to all misinterpretation upon this part of the busi.
nos, the question was again put upon these placards to the classes in
whose name they had issued, and they were unanimously affinned.
The next question was upon the thanks voted to them by the Chain.
hers, and upon this vote there was a good deal of intemperate speaking.
(Inc orator in particular said, that although they should feel always
honoured by the thanks of their fellow citizens and of France, yet that
they could derive no honour from the applause of Bic Chamber of De-
puties, for it was not the Chamber to which the people could look up
with either confidence or hope. It was nut the Chamber for which they
had fought at the barricades, or the Chamber which had been promised
them by the Provisional Government at the Hotel de Ville. (Lime
voices exclaimed %0 No, it is the Chamber of Charles X.") After the
four speakers had been heard, and the addresses or protestations agreed
to which you have already received, several others rushed to the tribune.
But it was deemed better by those who appeared to have most influence
at the meeting, that the question should be put, and the discussion
dosed. This was accordingly dune, and the decision pronounced with
unanimity.
This debating spirit by large bodies (as those bodies !) in the capital,
is far from being useful to those who wish to consolidate the institutions
of the new government. lam cony to add, that it has broken out like-
wise among the National Guard. There arc now 61 petitions passing
through the ranks of that body, demanding various political modifica-
tions, particularly with reference to the new electoral law. The students
and the National Guards say they will maintain public order, and pro-
tect thc King; but when you talk to them of the two Houses of Par.
liainent, you find at once the prevalence of a qualified allegiance, and a
demand that these two branches of the legislature shall be reformed—
the one to be made more democratic, and the other stripped of hereditary
rank. You will judge better than I can of the eventual tendency of
such opinions. I see, however, in them at pre.ent the diffusion of much
mischief, and the continuance of umrict
The casualties doting the late disturbances were fewer than might
have been expected. Many persons were hurt by being trodden down :
only II (as far as the hospital returns go) received slight bayonet
wounds, and about 34.1 of the soldiers were struck with stones; three or
four ofecers were by missiles of this kind cot in the face. Count de
Sassy's wound was not inflicted with a knife, as sonic papers assert; he
was knocked down by a workman with a blow of a wooden mallet, and
intrely required the precautionary aid of bleeding, to prevent worse
consequences. There were happily no serious injuries inflicted at any
side.

The arrests already, lam informed, amount to 583. Among them
are many heated zealots of respectable classes in society, but no persons
of any rank ; althuugh people's mouths are always filled with names
(such as I have mentioned in conveying to you these rumours) of indi-
iiduals, who had no:, 1 believe, the least participation in these violent
means of aggression upon the Government. Y.
