SeugnOt should undertake that task All
who exposed their lives and fortunes for

Unidentified like la Ncndec, by what is
called d consolidation; that IS, all OPERATE
on by which they lose 30 per cent wear

Ously await the opinion of tie Deputy
he is expected TO pass Just censure on
the Objectionable items OF the budget,
particularly that relating 10 The Swiss re-
glmeRt, and generally these embraced in
the expenditure The war DEPARTMENT.
III. LATTE is pledged to speak by the
slightest tergiycrsailon, lc would be lost
IN public opinion, which is al present so
highly favorable to him.
The late disturbances at Rcucn were
OF very serious nature. They were oc-
casioned, as usual, by the scarcity ofpro-
visions, and the want OF employment a
mong the labonlng classes. Tie latter
had assembled tumultuouSIy before tie
Prefecture, calling out for bread, and ap-
plying offensive eplthets 10 Go,ermment.
They were ordered 10 dispense, and upon
refusal, were fired upon by BODY of the
hoyai Guard stationed IN the town.
The National Guard under arms FASTENED
TO inierpOse between this guard aud the
people; upon which violent ccnhicten-
sued. A party OF Swiss Guards, station
ed also III the town, came 10 the relief of
the Royal Guard, which was near being
overpowered. The National Guard Itself
was presently strengthened by numbers
Of their armed fellow citizens. Tinls re-
lntorced and assisted by the populace,
they completely worsted the ROYAL and
Swiss Guards, compelling tile former TO
retire into their barracks, and tie latter
out OF town. The soldiers wounded i'm
the ARRAY, arrived few days since at the
Military Hospital OF Val de Grace, In Pa
ris.-Tbe National Guard having once re-
pulsed their adversaries, exerted them
selves, and fortunately with success, to
save them from the fury OF the populace.
HE persons who originated the pro-
ceedings OF Monday have unconsciouslv
produced one good effect. The peacea-
pie manner ~ which the meeting assem-
bed ~ Spdiields and separated, must
dlsarn The fears OF government, and rem
der the necessity of restrictive laws less
obvious. Ii shews, what has been often
asserted by the most intelligent obscrv
ers, that there is fund OF loyalty a. rood
sense I'D the country, which no pressure
OF distress that can possibly arise out Of
circumstances IL sufficient TO diminish
materially, much less to eXineuish.--
Even that part OF the community which is
most erected by pressure, has such We

As Ear as our Information goes, the acts
