FRANCE.
An insurrectonary movement broke out in Pa
ris on Sunday, May 18th, which cost some lives
on both sides, but suppressed. The King
subsequently appointed a ministry. M. Saucer
was elected President of the Chamber of Depu-
ties by 2l3 votes. NJ. Ibiers received 2O6 votes.
The instruction of Paris seems to have been
one Of little root or vlgor, and to have been i'm
medlaely quelled-though with great loss of life
by the troops and National Guard The plot
WIS got up by the Societe DIES Families, a CONT
nnatlon or ofshoot of the Societe des Ams du
ipeupe. Whether true or not, Government has
received information that M. M. Blanqui, La
mieuSscns, Martin, Bernard, and Barbes, were
the chiefs and commanders of the different Sec
tons which took the field. The last mentioned
individual was made prisoner, while lying dam
gerouSlv wounded, behind barrcade, and con
Keyed to the Hospital ST. Louis, whence he will,
If his state permit, be removed to the Con-
cersere. "*
The particulars of the revolt may be thus
briefly stated: On Sunday afternoon, 18th, about
300 men, in smock irocks and leather caps, broke
into Lepage's gun shop, where they obtained
about $50 iowng pieces. Separating into de-
tachments, they forced the military posts at the
Palals de Justice, the Hotel de Vile, and the
the Police Department, where, it seems, inelli-
gence had been received of the intended outbreak,
and preparations were made for defence. The
insurgents, on their appearance, were fired upon,
and ,hcy Immediately retreated upon the Hotel
de Vile, still held by their comradc. Barbados
OF omnlbuses and benches were hastily raised in
the Place de Greve, from behind which, when
the troops arrived, vigorous fire was made by
the insurgents, killing some Of the military. The
fidelity, however, Of the troops and guards, and
the want of all support from the populace, dis
concerted the revoIters after retreating from street
to street, they were dispersed, with much loss
Some dcsultory outrages occurred next day in the
streets; but, upon the whole, the matter seems to
have been one of mere mobism, without any re-
evolutionary purpose or connection.
On the next day, Monday, the 18th, the minis
try was tormep, and announced in the Moniteur,
as follows:

Minister Of Foreign Affairs. "

Paris, May l5.-All is as quiet the CONT
nued movements Of the police will permit. Eve
ry instant, new arrests are made. Yesterday
evening, the number Of prisoners detained in the
Concergerlc and Prefecture of Police amounted
to 305 In the course of this day, fresh captures
took place. and quantity of arms and ammuni
ton was found in the various depots of the nsur-
gents, which are now removing to the Palace of
Justice. Warrants have likewise been issued
against individuals at Lille, Lyons, and Stras-
burg as implicated in the conspiracy in which
the revolt originated.
The Paris papers in general seem to entertain
very little confidence in the stability of the new
French Ministry, which contains none Of the po-
lltlcal leaders Of any one party, and is evidently
formed on the principle of the Mole Cabinet
that OF vestng the whole power, and consequent
y the chief responsibility, of Government in the
