We have heard; tha: in consequence of a letter of M.
Jusslieu, the Owner' of Prefecture has issued a Decree,
erasing General Paultre• de Lamotte from the list of
Electors. The General is Commander in Chief of the
Department of do Nord, and President of the Electoral
College. 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.
The Bishop of M aseilles has collected all his Clergy
to support the Ministerial Candidate. •
1211011 THR JOURNAL, DUI DENATIL
PkRIS, Nov. at.
Towards ten o'clock in the evening a report was
spread that musketry was firing in the Rue St. Denis,
which lasted till midnight. The troops are drawn up
in military order in our neighbourhood—more we know
not, but we know that melancholy sentiments fill all
hearts. It is impossible not to recollect, that on the day
of the famous review of the National Guard, the troops
were collected in the square, and drawn up in order of
battle behind pallisadoes, and were provided with a
formidable train of artillery ; it was necessary 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 'hes], and the Minister fights in Rue S:.
Denis his battle of Navarin. We know who will profit
by the-e scenes, whoever may have caused them. The
Ministerial Journals warn the electors of the depart-
ments that the revolutionary party celebrated the vic-
tories of the Charter with cries of " Vive l'Empereur!"
There is a prodigious 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—aad 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, that the Ministry in con-
tending against the reprobation which justly weighs on
. .
them, has compromised every thing, and will put every
thins to hazard. To rernrin in office a little longer,
they have in t( ur sears sacrificed the National Guard,
the liberty of the Press, the Chamber of Peers. It has
deprived Royalty of the rampart, which it would have
found in a ca.e r 1 necessity, in the consideration ac-
quired by the Upper Chamber en account of its pru-
dence. Who-can now tell what other institutions they
will sacrifice before their own altars?
We learn 'from Arras, that the success of the Opposi-
tion at the College of the Department is certain. I.
Capet Locquet, former President of the Tribunal of
Commerce, is the Constitutional candidate. M. Harle,
who was the other candidate at the College of the Ar-
rondissement, and in favour of whom M. Capet Loc-
quet had resigned, has directed to the support of the
latter, his relative and friend, all his votes.

/ROM THE CONSTITUTIONNEL 07 WEDNESDAY.
PARIS, Nov. 20.
The Monileur laid some days since, a In England
the time of elections is marked by •iolence and excesses,
during which the laws seem to sleep. This disorder
does not suit our manners." No, but the loud demon.
strations of joy, othetwi,e inoffensive shouts, illumina-
tions, and squibs, do suit French manners. That which
does not suit the manners of any people, is the shooting
and cutting down people assembled in the sheets, some
as actors ana others as spectators of the fete: it does
not suit the att►ocinus manners of Spatris and Bostangis
to kill those who are passing by, and fire on those who
from a curiosity, look oat 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 commer-
cial and most populous part of Paris, in Rue St. Denis,
and 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. This group, fol-1
lowed by sonic curious persons, stopped opposite the
hotel e f Count Peyronnet, raising cries, among which
preva le that of di Vive la Chartre." Almost at the
same time .bout sixty gess d'armes, with sabres in their
hands, me •uddenly from the Courts of the Staff of
the place. and rushed into the Rue de la Pais, stopped
the pass.ye on that side, while the infantry also coming
from the o tel of the Staff, in marching order, cut off toe
communication with the Rue Castiglione. Thus, snared
like wild beasts, the passengers, to tie number of 500 or
400, were pushed towards the hotel of the Staff, and
brought before a Commissary of Police, who was in-
stalled in his office. Titus every one having been in-
terrogated a.. to their names, profession and residence,
every one was obliged to say why, in proceeding from
Rue St. flonore to go to the Boulevard, or from the
B ulevaid to go Roe Sr. Honore, or Rue Rivoli, he
had dared to cross the Place de Vendome. On the
slightest hesitation or agitation *hewn by them, which
would be very natural, they were conducted into an up-
per apartment. We do not know the number of such, or
what has bees 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 us that
the half of those persons in the street were young esti-
sans from 12 to 15 years of age ; that there we-e infants
and women, among they, there were blackguards,in rags,
none of whom appeared 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, ,r Who wants squibs?—let off the
squibs!—rejoice at the a. etion I" None of these persons
have been arrested, though the Police were there in great
numbers. But it was remat kid, that by an inconceiv-
able fatality, when the armed force arrived, these per-
sons had disappeared.
Numerous patties of the Pliee had passed through
the crowd with sufficient teletity to divot b the people;
the cart iages which carve up, and which were kept back
by the squibs, seem to have gi•en sort.e silly persons the
idea of barricadoing the street. Accordingly, a barri-
cade was formed, and from within it loud shouts of joy,
and bursts of laughter were heard. Towards half-past
teu, some detachments of infantry and of horse and foot
gens (names, precededby a drum, which beat a cha'ge,
appeared through Rue Grenetat, and occupying the
whole width of Roe St. Denis, beat back every body to
the barricades, which were overturned. Son.e accident
must inevitably bare occurred there, but as the barri-
cades were almost immediately restored, and the noise
of crackers, aughter, and shouts soon recommenced
we may imagine they were neither very serious nor very
numerous. A second was made about half-past eleven,
