will be broken up, and that the Chief body oil thr
troops will be transferred 10 Paris. We should
rejoice most sincerely al The adoption OF such
bold and effeclual policy. But even at present,
all the outward indications OF The revolution OF
February are disappearing. The eternal songs
of "Mourir pour la patrie," chant dc depart"
&c. are heard no more and the people OF Paris
have awoke from their Authorizations. The dit
ticully of the moment seems TO be, in what way

apprehended as insurgents, which are increasing
daily. Five hundred more were arrested on

The names Of Lamar,ine and Ledru Rolln are
also freely mentioned as having promoted The
movement, and they are both said 10 be jealousy

The arrest OF VI Emile Girardin d iring The 10.
surreclion. and his detention during twelve days,
have caused great uneasiness amongst all the
friends OF eal liberty. No one pretends that be
had any conneciu with the insurgents; but in
the Presse Journal, OF which he is the able editor,
he has continually feproached the government Of
February with having signed "a promise TO pay"
the people ia the current coin OF liberty, which
has heed dishonored. A few DAYS ago, il was
very currently reported that M. Girardn would
be expauialed without being brought up Tor trial.
but on Wednesday morning this able gentleman
was set a: liberty. During eight days he was
kept au secret and iortwo or three hours in cell
under ground. This unexplained acl OF tyranny
has been regarded as deadly blow aimed al the
liberty OF the press and the freedom OF lie SUD-
ject 10 France. At present iule despo;ism may
be overlooked and excused but when he imme
diate dagger shall be over, The press will ciaim
It's inalienabe rights, and personal ihrry musi

About one hundred thousand soldiers are now
