The Washington also brings intelligence
of two different demonstrations, as they are
called by portion, Of the people, both intend.
ed to orcfawe the government. The
causes and character oi these demonstra.
lions are well told in the following:
"0n the 10th March, a decree was male
public, abolishing the grenadief aud light
infantry companies of the National Guard
the ellie Of that body, aud absorbing them
in the centre companies. The National
Guard, on the 18th. went 10 the Hotel de
Vile, unauncd, 10 petition for the ahroga.
ton OF the decree. Their wishes mol heina
granted. they returned armed on the follow.
Ing DAY; but this time also without attain.
ing their purpose. The multitude Assem-.
blcd in the guays aud the streets leading
to the Place do Gresc woud mol allow
them 10 pass, and even threatened to erect
bauicaies. Several oilhe National Guards
who woro grenadicr caps, were ill.lrsaled.
and ,her head gear thrown into the gutter
aud lrampled under foot BY the people.
"Irhe reason ior this dissatisfaction on
the part Of the National Guards mar be
explained in few words, The grenadicfs
aud light infantry are composed Of better
CASES. the .hopmen. Ne. ufPatis. These
think the revolution has gone lar enough;
nay are, perhaps, Hinged with conscrya.
tism. To defeat the hopes entertained,
that the majority oi the officers 10 be now
chosen would be- conservatives, tho Minis
ter conceived the idea Of breaking up these
companies, and OF mixing into one body all
the National Guards. who would elect so
many Licuienanis and 50 many Captains
from the mass-a mode OF proceeding
which ii was expected would render difh.
cult OF impossibls the choice OF men on
aceoun, Of any PERSONAL, mrIlOtious quail.
ity, and thus give 10 lhe ultra. Democratic
party the greater number Of appointments.
"Thc demonstration OF the National
Guard. produced one by the people on the
following day. Early on Friday morning,
the emissaries Of the clubs proceeded 10 all
the suburbs, 10 invite the laborcTs to rcnde.
youz on different, points, and to proceed
from thence in bodies 10 the Hotel de Vile.
by ~ o'clock, the square a, the Hotel do
Vile was filled by one dense lhrong, with
branches from the main body extending up
the small narrow streets that debouch into
the Place. The Pout d'Arcolc was GOV.
cred, even the stone arch that supports the
suspcnding chains, and the chains them.
selves, were converted iaiO standing places
by ,h. crowd.
"from II o'clock I'LL =, the crowd re.
manned on the Place cheering and shout.
ing, at intervals raising tho chorus oi the
Marseillsise, or beating the appel on their
drums. There was no opposition TO the
manifestation Of feeling; the guard on duty
was even less numerous than usual. To.
werds . clock the crowd, thinking that
the united effect of lis numbers and its
cheers had sufficiently indicated the degree
and diraction ol popular feeling, began to
dispcrsc, though very slowly.
"On the same day friday a deputation
of 10 from tho clubs and corporations Of
Paris waited upon the Government and pre-.
scnlcd an address demanding
