BoULoGNE-sUR-M ER, Aug. 6.
This morning one of those mad at
tempts at revolution which have charac-
terised the French since the days Of the
first and of the memorable July, disturb
ed the inhabitants of this peaceful town
from its slumbers. The facts, as have
collected them, are as follows:
The city of Edinburg steamer, belong
ing 10 the Commercial Steam Navigation
Company, was hired by Prince Louis Ma
poleon, ostensiblY for an excursion Of
pleasure along the British coast for four
teen days. In this he embarked with ff-
ty-six followers, eight horses, and two
carriages, in the Thames, on Wednesday
last this morning, about 2 o'clock, they
reached the coast of france, off Wimi-
roux, about 3 miles from BouIogne.
The surprise of captain and crew may
be imagined to see the whole of his pass
engerss come on deck, not ia the peaceful
garb Of citizens, but en- miLita5re, some as
lancers, some as general officers, some as
private soldiers. with an oil-sisin covering
on their hats, with the number 40 painted
in front, that being the regiment which at
Strasburg had formerly identified itself SO
seriously in the cause of Louis Napoleon.
Their object was soon made evident
The ships boat YVES lowered, and the
whole company landed in three trips. Be
fore the prince left the vessel, he ordered
the captain to cruise off the coast, but to
keep close in to Boulogne, and have
boat ready manned to come off for them
should they signallze to that effect. A
mong those landed have been able to
collect the names of the General Mont
holau, Colonel Parquin, and Colonel De-
laborde. 49,.
When all had landed they marched in
TO the town. by the Place Navarn, Rue
des Carreux, Rue simoneau, into the
BRAND Rue, shouting-' Vive rEmpere-
ur,' the prince carrying his hat on the
point of his sword, and waving it in the
air. From the Grande Rue they made
their way by the Rue de la Lanpe to the
Cascrne, and reused the small body of
troops of the line Il believe only one
that perform duty here. The
soldiers awakened, and seeing themselves
surrounded by general officers, knew not
what to make Of the scene. They were,
however, soon made to comprehend that
revolution was on foot, that Louis Philip
pc was dethroned, that all France was
roused~ in favor of their emperor, Louis
Napoleon, and that they must arm 10
march forthwith upon Paris.
AS some were preparing to obey. their
captain who had been awakened by the
noise, rushed in among them, and restor-
ed their wavering loyalty by shouting
ssViye le Roi.' High words and scuffle
ensued between him and Prince. Louis,
when the latter drew pistol and fired -
unfortunately the ball shattered the under
law ola poor soldier who was endeavor-
ing to Separate them, and the whole party,
finding that the soldiers were lukewarG,
that the officers were faithful, that moth
inc waste be done there, precipitately
Quilted the. Caserne, and sretlred to the
port.
By this.time the. town was reused, the
authorities were on foot. the drums We're
beating to arms, and the National Guards
pouring out in all directions. The proc
iamations, onerof which enclose, with a
decree, had been lavishingIy distributed
along every street through which they
passed, and money given to those whe
| had followed them. These soon declared
what the object was, and the necessary
directions were given by thesseus Prete
to attack the-dis;urbers OF the peace
Within two hours the greater part were
ether prisoners in the citadel, shot, or dis
persed: They made no stand after leav
ing the Caserne.
! Some made their way with the eagle O
the Napoleon column, some VITA tn
prince FASTENED TO the sea side, and signal
| led for a boat from the steamer. Onior
tunateIy for them, too many got into Il
Fand it upset. The prince with three o
four. others swan for the steamer, and ha
a narrow escape of being drowned.
During their absence, however, affair
had changed, on board the steamer. III
