The latest advices from Paris received by the
London papers announcing the important intelli-
gence that the French government on the 9TH inst.
received dispatches from M. Arago, the French
Minister at Berlin announcing officially that Aus
tria has accepted the mediation of France and Eng
land for the settlement of the Italian question.
On the 9TH instant, the garrison of Paris and
portion of the National Guard were reviewed on
the Boulevards by General Cavaignac, who was
loudly cheered. Between 10000 and 80 600 were
under arms, Of whom about 20 600 belonged to the
National Guard, only one battalion being called
out from each legion. Although the National
Guard was invited to attend the review in great
force, it was found that not more than 300 men
mustered from each battalion, and in one battalion
the number was under $50. This rebuke, proceed
ing from such body, has been keenly felt, and il
has given serious uneasines to the head of the Gov
eminent. 1t is generally understood that several
causes of dissatisfaction have led to this species of
negative demonstration.
The first cause is the offensive expression used
by Gen. Cavaignac against the legitmist party and
particularly against some legions of the National
Guard which, he affirmed, were conspiring against
the government
The second cause was that the government alb
stained from contradicting report that was gener
ally circulated of the arrest of two high military
functionares, understood to be Gen Lamoriciere,
Minister of War, and Gen. Changamier Comman-
der of the National Guard.
The third cause assigned was the dissatisfaction
produced by the distribution of the crosses of the
Legion of Honor amongst the legion of the Ma
tiOnal Guard. .HHa
A serious quarrel had occurred between Generals
Changamier and Cavaignac, growing out of the
detection of the National Guards a small portion
of each division having appeared at the review on
Sunday. A sharp correspondence between them
had taken place.
