Palais Royal and elsewhere. Scenes of ViO- leuce occurred; and the gems d'armps para ded the streets with the view of intimidating the inhabitants, and with orders to act against them without the least hesitation, if any ex- excesses were likely to be committed. The gates of the Palais Royal were closed and barricadOed in the course of the morning, and those who did not reside in it were care fully kept out. Crowds soon after surround | ed it, many armed with sticks, shouting, | Tiue La Chorte !' A bas les Ministrees "' Late in the day the presses of the National, the Tens, and the Journal du Commerce l were seized by the police and removed from l the office, in spite of protestatiOns of the pro- prietOrs against this violation of the charter. They did not resist by open force, but the officers, who were accompanied by a great display of military force, were obliged to force the door. The presses were then de- faced, amidst the remunstrances of the pro prietors. Most of the proprietors and the editors of the liberal journals had signed their names to a protest against these illegal acts of the government. This protest says, |" In the situation in which we are placed, obedience ceases to be duty. The citizens first called upon to obey are the writers of 1he journals they ought to give the first example of resist
 ance to authority which has divested itself of legal character" 'The government has this day lost the character of legality, which commands obedience. We resist it in what concerns ourselves. It is for France to deter
 mine how far resistance ought to extend" A manifesto was issued, purporting to have
 been adopted by numerous assembly and
 signed with the initials of gentlemen of the
 first responsibility in Paris. The following are extracts from this document.
 ! ''The chief of the government has placed
 himself above the law-he has then Outlawed himself
 Consequently, Charles Philippe Capet,
 heretofore called Count dArtois, has ceased
 to be legally King of France. The French
 are released from all their obligations towards
 him in that character. All the ordinances
 which he may prOmulgate shall be, like those
 of the 25th, null and void.
 "The Ministers composing the Govern
 ment of the late King, by name Polignac,
 Peyronnet, Montbel, d'Haussez, De Chante-

 attanted and convicted of high treason.
 {" It is the duty of all Frenchmen to resist, by every means in :heir power, the execu

 On Tuesday evening maiters began to
 wear very serious aspect. The gendarmes
 posted on the Place du Palais Royal were in-
 cessantly attacked, says an English letter wri-
 ter, by mob of dandies, with perseverance,
 and desperation of which all the riots, revots,
 tumuIts, or revolutions of England afford no
 example. They were supported by young I Bourgeois, and by the lower classes, but the
 ma jority, by five o'clock, were Paris fops,
 with rattans in their hands and pistols in their pockets. Some of them were killed. was in the thick of the fight. The people were charged by the cavalry, fired their pistols in 1 their faces, retired, and returned to the at- tack, with cries of Tengeance !-Libertie "A bas Le Rot !-Vive La Charte !-Vive rEmpe- reur !-Vive Napoleon H""

 The following particulars of the proceed ings of Wednesday, are from a letter of a correspondent of the London Morning Her aId: At four o'clock in the morning the people began to assemble at many points, but princi- pally in the Rue St. HonOre. The well dress ed mob of the preceding day re-appeared, and reinforced, but were outnumbered by the terrible men from the Faubuurgs of St. 1 Antoine and Marceau. The Tuileres were | approached, but no act of hostility occurred up to ten o'clock. In the mean while the | brave the cideuant guards nationale began to | assemble on the Boulevards, in the Place de Greve, and in other places, with the certainty 1 of death if defeated. At the same moment a new and most important incident occurred. The students of the EcOle POlytechnique, having been dismissed without their swords, Cads of from l5 to 2S years of age,) joined the people to a man, they separated, proceed ing slngly to different parts to take the com mand of the people, or rather to receive il from them; and nobly did they repay the confidence 50 placed in them. In an hour an immense force was brought to bear on seve- rai points. The Hotel de Vile was attacked, carried. and become the point dappui. The depot Of artillery in the Rue du Bac, (St. Thomas d'Aquin,) was carried, and the can- non carried of to the most important parts.
