THURSDAY

The Monileur announces the loss of the army in the
late events to have been one officer and twenty-four
privates killed, and 17 officers and 167 privates wounded.
The Pairie contradicts the report circulated at the
Bourse relative to a modification in the system of taxation.
M. Madier Montjau, father of the representative
wounded on the barricades, has been set at liberty.
The Postmaster-General published the following at
10 o'clock p.m.:—" The Inspector of the Var writes from
Toulon, the Bth of December, that the mail from Draguig-
nen brings news that 2,000 insurgents who were march-
ing on that town retreated in the direction of Brignolles
and Barjois, making some hundred bourgeoisie and public
functionaries march at their head with chains round their
necks. The Director of I.he Post-office at Luc was
amongst the prisoners. In the despatch from Luc, of
Dec. 7, for Paris, is enclosed a regular sheet of advice
signed by the provisional director named by the sovereign
people, Boucher."

For some days past the diligence from Draguignan to
Marseilles, which carries the mail, has brought a way-
bill signed by the revolutionary directors of Vidauban,
Cuers, &c. _ _ _ _ _ _

Government accounts from Montauban, dated 7th of
December, 8 o'clock, p.m., state—" All is tranquil. The
adhesions multiply, particularly among the Legitimists."
Also from Chateauroux, December 10, 6 30 p.m.—
" The most perfect tranquillity prevails."
M. Jolivart was buried this morning. His death has
excited a deep feeling of regret. He was a landscape pain-
ter, who, quietly occupied in his artistic labours (at his
lodgings near the Boulevard de Bonnes Nouvelles), was
struck by a bullet, which pierced the walls of the house,
and killed him on the spot. In the house at the corner of
the rue de Richlieu, Louis, an old and attached servant of
M. Brandus, was shot dead at the very moment when that
gentleman and his friends had rushed up stairs into an
adjoining room for shelter.
To give any true idea of the number of persons killed
and wounded during the insurrection is impossible, since
there is no available means of making facts public.

Several distingUished members of the Legitimist and
Orleanist parties sent in their adhesion to-day to the
government. On the statement of a London journal, that
the Prince de Joinville and the Duc d'Aumale intended to
place themselves at the head of a movement in France.
there has been a meeting of some of the chiefs of the
Orleanist party. at which it was unanimously resolved to
write to the Prince and declare that they could not sup-
port any attempt on his part to keep up a civil war.
Not the slightest attempt has been made by the govern-
ment to shackle the independence of the correspondents
of the London journals. The only persons connected
with the press who have been annoyed are some of the
editors of the four Socialist papers ; but that is because
they took an active part in getting up the insurrection.
About thirty of them have been arrested.
The President of the Republic has received several let-
ters warning him to be on his guard against assassins, but
he pays little, if any, attention to them. He goes out, it
is true, with guards, but in an open carriage ; and it is
the opinion of many of his friends that he exposes himself
too much at this moment.
