BouLoGNE-sUR-MER, Aug. G.
This morning one ol those mad at
,empts at revolution which have charac
serised the French since the days of tn,
frst and Of the memorable July, disturb
ed the inhabitants Of this peaceful tow
from It's slulnbers. The facts, as | hay,
collected them, ale as follows:
The City Of Eding steamer, be
longing TO the Commercial Steam Navi
gation Company, was hired by Prince
Louis Napoleon, ostensiby for an ex.
cursion Of pleasure along the British
coast, for fourteen days. In this he EN-.
bnrked with fliy-six followers, eigh,
horses, and two carriages, in the Thames,
on Wedncs sday last this morning
about O'clock, they reached miles
irom l'oulognc.
The surprise Of captain and crew may
be imagined to see the whole of his pas
sengcrs come on deck, not in the peace
i,d garb of citizens, but en- miiiiaire, some
as lancers, some as general officers,
some as private soldiers, with an oil-skin
covering on their hats, with the number
10 painted IN front, that being the regi.
inent which at Strasburg had formerly
identified itself so seriously in the cause
Of Louis Napoleon.
Their object was soon made evident
The ships boat was lowered, and the
whole. company landed in three trips.
Before the prince left the vessel he or
defed the captain to cruise off the coast,
but TO keep CLOSE in to Boulogne, and
have boa, ready manned to come Of
for them should they signaizc to that
. effect. Among those landed | have
General MonthoIon, Colonel Vnudrey,
Colonel Parquin, and Col. Delaborde.
When all had landed they marched
into the town by the Place Navarin,
Rue des C.arreux, Rue Simoncau, into
the Grande RE, shouting" Nive
'Empereur," the prince carrying his
hai on the point of his sword, and wav-
ing il in the air. From the Grande Rue
they made their way by the Rue dc la
Lampo to tho Casernc, and reused the
small body of troops of the line be-
l,cvc only one company that performed
duty here. The soldiers, awak cned
and seeing themselves surrounded by
general officers, knew not what to IN .k-
Of The scene. They were, however,
soon mado to comprehend that revolu.
tion was or foot, that Louis Philippe
was dcthroncd, that all France was
reused ~ favor OF their emperor, Louis
Napoleon, and that they must arm to
march forthwith upon Paris.
As some were preparing to obey, their
captain who had'been awakened by the
noisc, ,ushed in among them, and ro-
stored their wavoriny loyalty by shout
.lng " Vive Ic Roi." High words and n
sculile ensucd between him and Prince
Lon,s, when The latter drew a pistol aud
fired !; unfortunately tho ball shattered
the under jaw Of IL poor soldier who was
cndcuvoring 10 separate them, and the
" hole party, finding that the soldiers
were lnkewarm, that the officers were
faithful, that nothing was to be done
there, prccipitately Quilted the Caserne,
and retired to the port
BY this time the town was reused, the
authorities were on foot, the drUms were
beating to arms, and the National Guards
pouring out in all directions. The pro-
clamalions, one of which endorse, with
decree, had been lavishly distributed
along every street through which they
passed, and money given to those win"
had followed them. These soon declar.
cd what the object was, and the neccs-
sary directions were given by the Sous
Prelct to attack the disiurbers of the
peace. Within two hours the greater
part were either prisoners in the citadel,
shot, or dispersed. They made no stand
after leaving the Caserne.
Some made their way with the eagle
Ia the Napoleon column, some with the
Prince has;ened totho sea side, and sig
nailed for a boat from the steamer. Un-
fortunately for them, too many got into
II, and il was upset. Tho prince with
three or four others swan for the steamer,
aud had narrow escape from being
drowned.
During their absence, however, affairs
had changed, on board the steamer. nj.
Pellet, the harbormaslcr, by order of
the mayor, had proceeded with dozen
cus,om-housc officers in boat, and Ia.
ken possession Of il it was fortunate for
the prince they did so, for in returning
into the harbor they found him almost
exhausted, clinging TO the buoy, about
the eighth Of mile from the shore.
He was taken on board, and with him
Colonel Vaudrey. In escaping from the
shore they had narrowly avoided being
shot several balls passed close to the
Prince, aud several of his followers were
wounded, and sank to rise noinore. The
report il, that six have been found one
poor doctor, who surrendered, was sho
bya National Guard.
