In France, M. de Lamartine has published
pamphlet defending himself from the various
charges against him.
Public opinion has so unequvocaly found Its
way to the Assembly, that Gen. Cavaignac has been
compelled to deny his. intention of suppressing
the Constitutional. This journal and the Presse
have now resumed their fierce attacks upon the
government, and the latter wages open war against
the republic, in spite of Gen. Cavalgnac's declara-

On the Sd instant, the garrison of Paris and a
portion of the National Guard were reviewed on
the Boulevards, by General Cavaignac, who was
loudly cheered; between 10000 and $4,000 were

out fromteach legion. Although the National Guard

from each battalion, and IN one battalion the
number was under $50 This rebuke, proceeding
from such body, has been keenly felt, and has
given serious uneasiness to the head,of thelgovern-
ment.
1t is generally understood that several causes of
dissatisfaction have led to this species of negative
demonst alton.
The FIST and principal is the offensive express
sion used by Gen. Cavaignac against the !egltamist
party and particularly against some legions of the
National Guard, which, he affirmed, were conspi-
ring against the government.
The second cause was that the government alb
stained from contradictIng report that was gene
rally circulated of the arrest of two high military
functionaries understood to be Gen. Lamoriciere,
minister cf war, and Gen. Changarnler, command
er 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 leglons OF the Ma
7iona Guard.
