actors in the revolution, have severally been
examined, and 1t is plain from the concurrent
testimony of almost all, that the revolution was
effected by combination of the lowest of the
people, chiefly connected with the National and
Reforme newspapers. The money raised by loans
and taxes has been squandered amongst the
vilest of mankind for the double purpose of Great
ing an alarm IN Paris, whenever political point
was to be carried, and for the still more mlschie-
vous purpose of propagandism in foreign parts.
The evidence gwen is loose, vague, and desul-
tory. Each witness represents principal. One
witness, named Chem, police agent, Of the viest
character in the pay of Caussdere reveals all the
proceedings of the conspirators, before and after
February; and more hardened, thorough paced
villain has not appeared since the days of Robes
pierre. He proves the collision between Ledru
Rollin, Ladarin, Louis Blanc, Caussidiere, with
evidence of Cavaignac leaves painful impress
sion. He is openly charged with leaving Paris
defenceless, by the nsuficiency of the troops, and
his explanations are not satisfactory. Ledru
Rom, if the evidence is to be believed, has taken
care of the future, and has contrlved to remit
about Ell, 200 sterling to London, for investment
in the funds The commissaries which he sent to
the provinces quite equaled in their character the
Infamous agents of the Convention. There were
amongst them liberated convicts, tallors, shoe
makers-all of the worst kind. 1t is wholly out of
our power even to form conjecture of what may
be the result of these most extraordinary docu-
ments-they have now been publlshe some days,
and Paris has become agitated in precisely the
same mode, and has been the scene of similar
fmeutes, to those which preceded the April, May,
and June demonstrations 1t Is said that Cavalg-
nae will endeavor to cushion the whole matter;
but the reaction against the republic Is now be-
coming SO general, especially in the provinces
that we doubt whether he will be able to effect his
object -Four socialist newspapers have been sup.
pressed by public decree.
The most extensive military arrangements are
continually in force, to suppress any disorder in
Paris. The Garde Mobile, in large detatchments,
parade the city, and are industrlousIy cir
culated that the red republicans and the egiti-
mists have coalesced, with view to bring about
a counter revolution.
Our latest news from Paris describes the general
alarm which prevails, that egitmist outbreak is
at hand. The cause of royalty is gaming ground
IN many departments, whilst, at Avlgnon, social
list professions taking place, with cries o." Vpe
Barbes" "V,re Blanqu, :" and "V,ve Robespie,e"
We still have our doubts respecting the character
OF the threatened outbreak. We deem it far more
probable that the agents of the government, or the
parties in the National Assembly, circulate these
reports for their own political ends However, the
debate on the report will bring the contending par
ties to personal trial of strength and it remains
to be seen which side the populace will take. 1t
is reported, amongst other things, that the army
has been seriously tempered with, which is very
probable. In that case, the so-called republic is
seriously in danger. Eleven vacancies In the
National Assembly, have not yet been filled
up, the writs having been stopped by Ge-
neral Cavaignac, who did not dare to ask
the opinion Of any of the constituents in
France, under the existing circumstances of
reaction. 1t was even said that M. Guizot
would be returned for Bordeaux. Gen. Cavalgnac
has, however, at length promised the Assembly
to issue the writs, so that the real state of public
opinion will be ascertained; but what must be the
state of public liberty In the republic of France,
when the dictator interposes to prevent the cleo
ton of the members of the National Assembly!
Another phase of the revolution is at hand.
The London Times of the 10Th, says the contest
is by no means terminated with the events Of June
Ere many weeks, or even days, have pas sed, it is
but too probable that it will be bloodily renewed.
The government which exists, is, after ALL but an
expedient, and lives only by delegated authority.
1t represents the will of the nation lamenably d.
vided, and deeply corrupted; and the forces at the
disposal of Cavagnac are all that supply the place
80 L. Ill
to the implacable hostility of minority, deeply
lmbued with the very spirit of anarchy-deluded,
incensed, demoralized, and ruined
In the early part of the week, there was little
uneasiness in regard to France. Much apprehen-
sion exists in reference to the probability of ano-
Their outbreak in Paris, and the occurrences Of the
week seem to show cause for the anxiety SO gene
rally expressed.
The socialist confederacy has extensive influ-
ence amongst the operatives of Paris, Lyons, and
all the principal cities of France; and the audacity
maintained by Proudhon, Louis Blanc, and others
implicated in the former contest, strengthens the
that the government are unwilling to
proceed against them for fear of the consequences.
The European Times says all Europe has been
amazed at the disclosures which have been made
by the publication of the report the late insur-
rections. Never IN the history of the world has
such mass of folly, crime, secret villany, open
violence, infatuation, and reckless daring, been
presented to the world. Ii s quite impossible,
from the vast prolixity ofthe report which occupies
three huge volumes, 10 give our readers anything
like summary of the contents. We must limi!
ourselves to describing the effect which the perusal
has produced on our minds.
The Italian question is yet unsettled. The wan
ton siege and bombardment of Bologna served to
exemplify the old spirit of Austrian despotlsm;
while the patriotism and valor of the citizens, and
the manifestations that have taken place IN their
favor, show that the spirit of resistance has not
been quelled by recent reverses. Charles Alberts
addresses evince undated courage and confidence.
