a possibility of moving i'll the BOuleyards from
the crowds of well dressed people Of both sexes
and of workmen mixed up with them discus

at Paris, and several regiments of the line from

No incident save one, that could be character

The exception was at the headquarters of
Citizen Sobier, whose house, No l6 in the
rue dc Ryoli exactly opposite the Tuillerlcs,
was entered by the people, and the iircnen,
and the National Guards. Ills own body
guards of MontdgRnrdS, were seized, dlsaTmrd
and ANONYMOUSLY kicked into the street. His
bureau and private apartment broken into, his
papers torn or burnt, the furniture in the prem
lses, was smashed, and strict search made for
the citizen himself, who, fortunately for hlm
was a, the moment on the other side Of thc
water.

was very seriously wounded at the corner o.

The National Guards seized upon Gen.
Couras, stripped his epauettes off his shoul-

Rlvoli, (No. l6,) were arrested in the same

Guard called the Montd9n0rd was dlsbandcd.
Persons who were in the room with VI.

at least GO. On many persons were found pis-
tolls, daggcrs, and on some letters from the
chiefs of the plot The first legion Of The Ma

Paris was the most ardent In favor of the Ma

prime movers of the emcute. In their search
made on the evening of the 18th, at the offices
of the commune de Paris published by him,
there were found 600 muskets, most of which
was loaded, barrel of gunpowdcr and other
munitions OF war

said To be of great importance, not less than
81 arrests were made IN SObrIcrs apartments.
One Of the persons arrested had paper IN his
: hand which he thrust into his mouth and tried
to swallow but beng seizcd by the throat hc
was obliged to give 1t up and It turned out 10

II appears that the Government asccrtancd
that the invasion Of the Assembly was regu-
larv organized conspiracy, and that the insur-
rectiun was intended To break out at the same
instant at Lyons, and probably at other places.
4 tccgraphic despatch was sent of to the
authorities of Lyons to inform them of their
danger, and to announce the suppression oithe
insurrecton in Paris.
The National Guards were to be retained
under arms until all the guilty IN the late at
tempt shall be ~ the hands of Justice.

GRrrcE.-A letter from Athens, dated
April 30, SAYS" The northern frontier Of
Greece has, within the last week become tho
theatre .f an armed invasion, which, If not
promptly aud vigorously quclcd, may have the

brlgands. and some hundred Turks, and.
passing into Greece, raised the standard OF re-
volt.

Niennesc accounts oi the late bartlc Of Verona,
which do not materially differ from the Pied
montesc statement, the Italian army having on
IT'S retirement, rather the appearance of flight

LcuzendoIlI frll at the head of his battalion
G. VI Baron Sales died of his wounds. Al
though both parties clam the advantage. We
think It must be- conceded that, as the Pied
montcse had Gar the advantage IN numbers, the
victory il on the side OF the Austrians. Al all
events. II has been a seycie check t0 the Pied
montesc.
