S;r-Tbere have been-nay, there are dstur-
hances AT Paris! Just now there we're disturban-
ces at LYONS, then at Grenoble, then at Carcas.
sonne-aIways 10 the West--and now at Paris!
O,stnrhances a, PARISH! How is thisl Just now
only few DAYS ago-M. Perier published
CircuIar addressed to all the Projects OF France,
in which he pointed to the tranquility OF faris'
and called on the Departments to initiate the
peace and repose of the capital!!! Poor NJ. Pc
rier! He is very unfortunate, as well as very
obstinate, and very an,'-nstionaL he never
makes promises but sem event Is sure 10 arrive
10 dsappoint his expectations and those OF MS
fr,ends-and he never breaches peace and pros
perity but an emeue or dlstuI Dances arrive few
hours afterwards.
Disturbances at Paris! This IS unfortunate
lamentabie-much to be regretted and dePlored
especially at a moment when the cholera morous
is making sad rayages among the poor, when they
have need Of calm, repuse. food, moderate work.
and above all, freedom from agitation. Distur'
Dances at Paris! To certain extent they have
beea reprehensible. The measures taken BY the
Government and the police to prevent the spread
of the cholera mOrbus, and to assure the health
Of the capital, are wise, prudent, and necessary.
Opposition to these measures is Ignorant, un.
inst. and even brutal But why have the mea-
sures taken by the Government and the police to
preyent the spread of the cholera led to tumults,
mobs, attacks on the police aud military ana
why has the capital Of France, Tor the last forty
eight hours, resembed camp rather than com
mercial city, or The abode of the gay, the idle OF
ths learned? Let Us tell the truth. The people
nave no confidence in the Government. The PEG.
ple do not Con6de in the men who govern, or
their agents. or in their measures principles. or
system. The lower orders. or IN other words
the mass suspect the government-treat the M
nisters and their agents as men who nave so'l
France, and would therefore sell Frenchmen: anu
as the people have no confidence IN the Pohnca'
or mora. character OF their Governors why 'hef
are willing to listen to Idle taes-tO believe cru
el aud wicked reports-to diStrust even uose
who are virtuous and good. even the medical
mon and benevolent visitors Of the sick andwretch-
ed-and the poor and ignorant say, 1--WE have
beer so deceived by these Ministers and their
aoents-,nd by Louis Phillip and his family, in
ali that relates to our country and our national
Concerns. that we can place no confidence IN
them in anv thing that concerns ourselves. our
families. our health or our civic and municipal
regulations This is the reasoning OF the mass
Oh The people-and therefore they meet toge-
ther, they assemble, they commit disturbances,
iniure property. endanger life, diminish trade and
commerce, and commit great evils through their
pertect want of confidence IN those who govern
them. And then it must be borne IN mind that
the Carlist party is always at hand to pay 10
bride, 10 Stimulate to excite, to ag'tate, ana 10
overturn. The very existence OF the cno'era
morbus az Paris il ascribed by them to the Revo
int;on Of JuIy. IL" saw they, "'the Revolu-
ZION Of July had not broken OUT there would
have been no Revolution in Puland-if there had
hsen no Revolution in Poland, there would have
hen no war with Russia-then the cholera would
mt have spread into Germany-wonld have re-
manned in the East, and France and England
wonls hav. been saved from the vistatl0ns OF TINS
most horrible disorder"
The Carls,s are to be found every where with
five franc reces IN one hand ready to give to the
workmen. who are poor. wretched, sick. anxious,
and ao,,a,ed, TO rally round the standard Of Hen.
~ ": and 10 all this there is nothing to oppose!
The Government cannot appeal to its acts-its
policv or its agents, for popular sympathy or po-
pular aid. All its acts and all its policy are IN
opDosition to the voice and wishes OF France
ard France can only reply to these Carllst brl-
~anJ. g that the Revolution Of July was glorl-
Gus bnt that those who undertook to support--to
o.;Js-to conduct--and even to march with their
Revelation, have BETRAYED it." Now, yesterday,
when the ROYAL Dukes appeared in pub'c-~ent
amonp the Ensutes-implored the people TO Sc
MAJ ate and the mobs to disperse-how were they
rece;vedp With enthusiasm? No! with sa-
tisfaction? No. But with GOODNESS, reserve
distance. aud disdsin. The people-who pres
sad on their steps when they con6ded in them
when they hoped to see realized their wishes
and when they believed that the consequences OF
the Jaiy Revelation would be assured to France
this same people yesterday allowed the Dukes
IN mass on-nether hailed or cheered them-out
mu,tercd "Poiand has been sacrihced"-"ltaly
;s IN he sold''-" Belgium is Northumberland
90 ,anee il bet, ayed." The people DO not for
ost these ,hinss-cannot and will not forget these
,b;nvs-and though they delay their day OF ven
seance. vet that day of vengeance will arrive:
There are some persons who only see in these
,,;s,n,hances at Paris mere physical movement
Of an agitated and suffering populstiOn-ss,tatssd
bv the existence of the cholera morbus, and SUI
fsrug from the loss Of their relations and friends
