The examiner. [volume] (Louisville, Ky.) 1847-1849, 1848-09-16

eIal movement OF the members from their
seats, and, as If out OF respect to Nj. Ma
rie. there was arecess Of some ten minutes.
Not long after this, NJ. BAG addressed
questions TO the Minister OF War, in which
his treatment Of the insurgents was repre-
scented as cruel in the extreme. The mo-
ment Nj. BAG turned to leave the tribune,
General Lanloriciere started from his seat
abruptly, crying out, 81 demand the floor, "
strode to the tribune, mounted the steps,
three at at time, stepped quickly to the
front and delivered very neat, concise all
swer to the questions. | had scarcely time
to see that he appeared to be quite young
man, wore the universal moustache and
imperial, and to conclude from his tone that
he was not excited but answered with the
promptness of military man, before he
had descended and was in his seat again,
talking very energetically with NJ. Arago.
ID. Senard is the medium between these
two extremes. There is no alectation OF
dignity in his manner, which is equally re-
moved from abruptness nothing in short to
distinguish him from we'll bred man. He
appears at first rather an ordinary man, for
he is not over the common height, and mas
nothing remarkable in his personal appear
ance; but when he warns into eloquence,
you feel that you are in the presence of ge-
MUS and courage. His decision and iudg-
ment did almost as much as those Of Gen.
Cavaignac during the late Instruction.
But | should not forget to mention NJ.
Ledru Rollin. He is a singularly fine
looking man, large, strongly built, portly,
with naughty air, he attracts universal at
tention. He is the especial favorite Of the
ladies', and is noted in the fashionable world.
He speaks with the correct nuency OF a
practised advocate and with the theatrical
gestures OF buskined tragedian. In fact,
he bears a strong resemblance to Edwin
Forrest. He was opposed to Stacking the
press; "Yes," he exclaimed, 81, Ledru Rol-
lin, who now address you, /, the thief the
Infamous! the keeper Of mistIesses whom
never saw, | advocate the liberty Of the
press that has thus DETAINED me- Whatever
they may say Of rae, have ever followed,
and will follow the straight line OF princi-
ple." And here he paused, threw back his
head proudly, and looked like Hercules
defying all the Gods Of the newspaper
Olympus to the combat. The effect was
electric. A murmur Of applause ran through
the Assembly. That kind Of oratory is
Just the thing for a French audience.
There were many other famous gentle
men there, but have not space 10 nolice
them. History and the arts will do them
all justice. Their hstory-is it not writ

members of the assembly hawked about
the streets! Their likenesses, are they not
reproduced ad minimum from the daguerre-
otypeS taken with the instrument erected by
the order of Government, in the chamber Of
the Assembly building, for the express pur.
pose Of immortaiising the faces Of the menl-
bersi | have seen several hundreds Of
these but can only remark that, with few
exceptions, they present little more than the
usual mass Of beard and whiskers one sees
in any congregation Of Frenchmen.
As in France, the Government regulates
everything, General Cavaignac has Just pub
lished decree regulating the height Of
houses to be built, the kind Of windows,
roof, and, in short, nearly all the details Of
construction. Although this must be vexa.
tious, in many instances, it has the re.
suit of securing good fire proof buildings in
the city. Since have been here, have
not heard a single cry Of fire or seen an Ell
CINE in the streets. The hremen are in the
employ Of the city and wear an uniform.
The much mooted question, OF the poin
to which the insurgent prisoners shall be
transported, seems to draw near a settle
ment. AlgieTs will probably be selectet
for those who are not deeply compromised
Those who assisted in the murder Of Gen.
Brea may be shot. But this IS all uncer
tain as yet.
The misery continues among The work
men, and especially among the women. A
letter from the curate, in the Faubourg ST
Antoine, states that four thousand womer
are without employ in that Faubourg alone
