BoULoGNE sUR-MER, Aug D.
This morning one of those mad attempts at re-
from time immeraorial, disturbed the inhabitants
| of this peaceful town from its slumpers' Inc
facts as have collected them, are as iollo"si-
The CITY of Edinburg steamer, belonging to
the Commercial Steam Navigation company
was hired by Prince Louis Napoleon, ostehslely
| for an excursion Of pleasure along me briIsn
coast for ID DAYS. In this he embarked win 90
followers, eight horses, and two carriages IN the
Thames on Wednesday; this morning, about z z
| o'clock, they reached tho coast OF Frahce' OH
Wimiroux, about three miles from Boulogne'-
The surprise of the captain and crew may be ina
gined to see the whole OF his passengers come OH
dek not in the peaceful garb oil citizens, out en-
| nlilitaire, some as lancers, some as general OF
6ccrs some as priyate-soldiers, with an oll-sklA
covering on their hats, with the number 40 paint
cd in front; that being the regiment winch at
Strasburg had formerly identified itself SO serI-
| ously in the cause of Louis Napoleon
Their object was spon made evident. Inc
ships boat was lowered, and the whole company
landed in three trips Before the Prince lett the
vessel he ordered the captain to cruise OH inc
| coast, but to keep close in to Boulogne, and
have boat ready manned to come off for them
should they signalize to that effect. Among
those laxded have been able to collect the names
| of General Montholon, Colonel Nandrey, Colo
mel Paresn, and Colonel Dclaborde
When all had landed, they marched INTO the
town by the Place Navarin, Rue DIES Carreaux
Rue Simoneau into the Grandc Rue, shouting
| 'EVive PEmpereur," the Prince carrying his hat
on the point OF his sword and waving it in the
air; from the Grand Rue they made their way
by the Rue da la Lampe to the Casserole, and
reused the small body of troops OF the line q be-
| lieve only one company 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,
| sson made to comprehend that revolution was
II 4 4 Al Al
| all France was reused in favor of their Empcr-
or, Louis Napoleon, and tha1 they must arm to
march forthwith upon Paris. As some were pre-
pairing to obey, their captain, who had been
| awakened by the noise, rushed in among them,
and restored their wavering loyalty by shouting,
'sVive lie Roi." High words and scufiles passed
between him and Prince Louis when the latter
drew pistol and fired; the ball shattered the I'M
derjaw of poor soldier, whe was endeavorine
TO separate them; and the whole party, finding
! that the soldiers were lukewarm, that the off
GERS were faithful that nothing to be done there
preeiPitately quilted the CIserne, and retired to
! the port.
By this time the town reused, the authori
| ties were on foot, the drums were beating to
arms, and the National Guards pouring out in
all direc The proclamations, one OF which
| enclose, with decree, had been lavishly DIS
| tributed along every strest through which they
passed, and money givsn to those who had fell
| lowed them. These soon declared what the OBJ
ect was, and the necessary directions were given
! by the Sous-Preiect to attack the dist2rbers Of
| the peace. Within tive hours the greater part
were either prisoners in the CITADEL shot or dis
persed. They made no stand after leaving the
Casernc. Some made their way with the eagle
to the Napoleon column, some with the Prince
fastened to the side, and signalled for a boat
from the steamer. Unfortunately for them, too
many got into it, and it upset. The Prince, with
three or four others, swan for the steamer, and
had narrow escape Of being drowned
During their absence, however, affairs had
changed board the steamer. M. Pollet,. the
harbor-master, by older of the Mayor, had pro-
ceeded with dozen Custom house officers in a
boat, and taken possession of it, it was fortunate
for tho Prince they did so, for in returning into
the harbor they found him almost exhausted
clinging TO the buoy, about the eighth of mile
frora 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, and Sc
vcral of his followers were wounded, and sank
| to rise no more. The report is, that six have
been found; one poor doctor, who surrendered
was shot by National Guard.
From another Correspondent.
How man, with so men, could think of rails
ing an army i'll tins peaceably disposed province,
cannot understand. He must have been mis-
led as to the disposition of the people. At the
same time, had he landed with 300 men, there
can be no doubt but Boulogne would be at this
moment in his hands. The people here have
been for several days III great state of excite
ment, in consequence of the war talk, and so
easily they 10 be gulled upon matters relating
to hostiities with England, that the first rumor
OF the debarkatioR this morning was, that eethe
English had already landed force OH the coasto
| had a peep at Louis Napoleon. Poor devil!
He looked aWfully excited. His followers are
fne-looking fellows. They appear to be the
dare-devils of all pations-Poles French, Swiss,
and, some say, English.-The latter statement
do not believe. The artillery and National
Guard were all in readiness.
~ o'clock.-The steamboat Edinburgh Castle,
has been seized by the Captain of the Port, and
is now in the harbor. The firing of the National
Guard on deicnceless people, in the water, is de
precated by the Setter-fceing portion of the pub
lie Louis Bonaporte was well nigh drowned
