THE INsURREcTIoN IN PARIs-The sys-
temalc arrangements of the insurgents of
Paris-their organizalion'-, the obstnacv
with which they fough,-,heir being fur
nished with gold; and the fact that ,ele-
graphic dispatches to the provinces for adj
dIional troops were suppressed-all clear
~ indicate that the instruction was plan
ned by persons superior TO those engaged in
The fray. We see that suspicion has been
attached to NJ. Lamartine, and there is
probability Of his arrest. But his patriotic
services; his known attachment to the re-
public system of government; and his con-
duct in marching with the troops to chas-
tlse the insurgents; repel the idea that he was
cooperating with them, or had in any man.
ner instigated them in their revolutionary
movements. Nothing but the most conclu-
sive evidence of his participation in their
schemes, would satisfy us that he had any
connection with the recent outbreak. 1t
is known that Louis Napoleon Bonaparte
has adherents in Paris-men who would
re dice to see him seated on the throne as
Emperor; and we marvel that suspicion
has not taken that direction. instead of being
directed TO NJ. Lamartine. Louis Napoleon
aims at obtaining power in France, and we
think it probable. that the instruction was
matured under the direction of his agents,
and tina, the supply of money Was furnished
by his order. So far no disclosures have
been made; nor is it likely that the ins,ru-
men,s used were entrusted with the names
of the chief insigators of the revolt. lnle-
rior persons could be easily procured to dis
burse money and communicate plans, &c.
and such were probably used.
The discontinue of the insurgen!s-the
immense sacrifice of life-and the transport
talion of those taken in arms against the
government-mav produce a temporary
calm; but they afford no guarantee COR the
permanency of the republic. The same
spirit of INSTRUMENTATION will still continue
to exist and there will be superadded an
inve,eracy Of feeling which will seek retail
alton at the first favorable moment. There
are so many discordant elements in Paris
and the people are SO prone to excitement
and love of change, that we consider i. more
than probable that the effort 10 establish
republican system of government for France
will prove to failure. The republic is not
yet in operation under the constitution, and
it ever will be. The conduct of the Ma
tional Assembly indicates anything but sta
bili,y of purpose. Instead of sustaining
ministers, it clothed General with dIcla-
torIal powers, even to the formation of a
new ministry. He may exercise his aulho-
rity with moderation or he may WELD it to
overturn the government and establish
military despotism. The power delegated
TO General Cavaignac was inconsistent with
the principles of free government, and ex-
hibils very loose administration of affairs.
To confer on him, as General, authority to
take all measures required for the suppress
sion of the Instruction, may have been
very proper; but the formation of a new
ministry, was different affair, on. of the
regular routine of his duties, and should
have been the work of the National Assem-
bly, itself, under present circumstances
BAL Clipper.
