Randolph, May 8, '4s.

The steamship Britannia arrived at Boston
last Sunday morning, bringing seven days
later intelligence from Europe.
On Sunday, the 10th, Paris was the scene
of an extraordinary commotion. NJ. Blanqui,
enraged at the publication, by the authority
of the Provisional Government, of some pa
pers found at GuiZot's, impeaching his po-
litical character, declared them TO be forge
ries, denounced Lamartine, Marrast, and the
other moderate members of the Provisional
Government, and swore to overthrow it and
establish a new one, from which all but the
extreme radical members of the existing Gov
eminent were to be excluded.
Possessing immense influence with the
Communist party, he was able 10 spnmon
an immense concouTse on the Champ de
Mars, which he harangued in the most infa-
matory manner. The Government weee com
PEELED to call the National Guards, those of
the Bantieu, the Guards Mobiles and the two
regiments of the line, nearly 200, 900 men,
Cannon were planted at the Hotel de Vile,
and a bloodless restoration of order was ef-
fected for a brief space.
1t seemed as if the old Reign of Terror
was 10 be revived. The moderate members
Of the Government, however, did not commit
the mistake of the Girondists of '92, but sa-
we'd the Capital by a bold resort to their mill
tary resources,
Blanqui and Cabot, the latter of the Pro-
visional Government, are said to have been
arrested, and arrests of prominent Commu-
nists have also taken place. The Commu-
nists wear the red rosette of the Mountain,
and the moderate party the ~tri-color of the Gil
rondists.
The parties in Paris seem to be divided
the same as in the first revolution. But while
the Communists are probably less ~sanguina-
ry than the old TeIrorists, the Moderate par
ty are more firm, more energetic, and more
! strong, than the Girondists Of 1889 and
4 1892.
, 1t appears that there was actually an at
, tempt made to depose the moderate members
OF the Provisional Government, which was
> rendered abortive by the irmness of M. dc
Lamartine. Before the procession of the one
hundred and fifty thousand workmen began
, to move from Champ de Mars towards the
, Hotel de Vile, NJ. CADET went TO the Hotel
i de Vile and demanded an interview with
the Provisional Government. NJ. Lamartine
q was the only one who received him. NJ. Ca.
bet immediately declared that the, Provision.
al Government had betrayed the cause of the
people, that it was necessary, and that i
? should be reconstructed. He then handed ir
a list OF those who should form the new Pro,
%vislonal Government, and declared, that if il
4 were not accepted, the people then assembled
y at the Champ de Mars would march on the
Hotel de Vile, and effect by force, that which
d they hoped would be granted by peaceablt
means. The list handed in by NJ. CADET con
tains the following names: Messrs. Ledrt
Rollln, CADET, Blanqui, Albert, Lewis Blanc
Flocon, Arago, Raspail, and Pirre lie Reux. NJ
IS CADET was proceeding TO make som furihe
remarks, when NJ. Lamartine stopped him
declaring that he was a traitor to the Repub
Z lie, and that he would not listen to him. NJ
de Lamartine Immediately left the room, and
after consulting with NJ. Marrast, NJ. Pag
mere, and some other members oflhe Govern
y ment, issued an order for the arrest of NJ
CADET, but the citizen had previossly left tn
d Hotel de Vile. 1t is stated, however, tina
he was taken at late HWdr in the evening
and that he is now in custody.
A petition has been circulated among III
d National Guards, which has been numerous
S ly signed, praying the Provisional Govern
ment TO bring the regular troops back to PaI
n is, as the best guarantee of order.
Paris was thrown into great alarm on Tues
n day morning by the beating of the rappeL.-
" The whole of the guard turned out, and cor
Il tinued patrolling and marching, or in positio
y until ten o'clock, when they were dismissed
n The cause of the aierie was information recei
we'd by the Government that the Hotel de vi
lie, the Treasury, and the Bank were to be al
d tackled by the communists on Monday nigh
