sldered as connected with each other. The late dis
turbance is called the emette afeliers nGfiondur--
the former one the emeufc Barbes et Bianqui.
Among the Commissioners named are Onion BAR
ROT, BEAUMONT, GooDcHAux, and LANsuINAIs.
The struggle will now commence in the Assem-
bly,, where a Ministry will have 10 be agreed upon.
The late Executive Committee has completely dis
appeared during the storm. LAMARTNE and ARAeo
faced the barricades, and fulfill edthe duties well as
soldiers. M. PIERRE BoNAP.lRTE, son of LUclES,
had his horse shot from untler him whilst by the
side OF LAMARTINE, who accompanied Gen. Ca
vAIGNAc TO all the scenes of contest The ever
tickle current of public opinion new accuses Ca
vAIcNAc OF want of Judgment and decision: he
is allowed to be brave and generous soldier, and
animated by the best and purest intentions. The
credit of all the arrangemen and successes of the
last four days is now awarded to Gen. LAMoRI-
cIERE. The moderate rarty in the Assembly are
said TO have their attention particularly directed to
Gen. CHANGARNsER, who is expected to arrive in
Paris this day. II stated in the Times of yes
terday that one Of the FIRST acts Of Gen. CAvAIGNAc
was to send for M. THIERs; il is believed that an
interview took place, but that it did terminate
in any agreement or UNION Of policy. On the con-
trary, Gen. CAvAIeNAc, subsequent to the inter-
view, begged of the Ministers TO keep their places
al interim, with the exception of M. BAsTIDE,
who was requested 10 keep his portfolio perma-
nently.s This is good sign, for NJ BAsTIDE has
given great satisfaction, and would continue the
foreign policy of M. LaMARTINE, policy Of dig
nifty and peace. But, atthe same time, the access
sion of M. THEIRS TO power, and the aid of his
great experience and abilities, would be most de-
sirable event. Gen. CAvAIoNAc has signiied to the
National Assembly his intention of re>igning :. the
extraordinary powers vested in him as soon as he
considers them no longer necessary for the saliva
tion of the republic" There will probably bel
mach dissension in the Assembly as TO the forma-
ton of the new Ministry. We hope that the Co.
vernment has not found il necessary to resort to
such extreme measures as are reported this morn
ing; the shooting of 500 insurgents who were cap
tured with arms in their hands on Monday night, |
and 400 more on Tuesday morning This would
indicate an extreme state of affairs.
Who will be prominent candidates for the Presi-
dency Is now matter of great uncertainty. Before
the late insurrecion six names were mentioned, |
namely, LAMARTINE, THEIRS, LOUIS NAPOLEON,
Gen. CAvAIeNAc, MARRAsT, and CAusrDIERE. The
Orleans party were for Theirs, the Legitimists di-
vided between Thiers and Lamartine.
The only additional news from France is that of
an outbreak at Marseilles, which had been put
down, after upwards of fifty of The national guard
had been killed or wounded. 1t is said that the
leaders of the late insurrecton in Paris are all
known to the Government; that several have been
killed, and number taken prisoners, who will forth
with be tried, whilst others have escaped; but,
they are known, they will be prescribed, and can
nc longer be mischievous in France. We must
protect ourselves from their Vaccinations here, by
the good sense of our people, and the regulations
of the lately passed alien law.
The Provisional Government OF France are by no
means Justly liable TO the almost universal condem-
nation which is passed upon them on account Of
r.
founded upon credit, and of revenue based upon
trade and consumption; the subverson of finance,
and the disorder in every department of Govern
ment, were inevitable consequences of the revolu-
tion. We cannot justify, on the contrary we have
always doubted, the policy which induced the Go
vernment, al the commencement of its career, to
lend too attentive ear and too helping hand,
10 the wild claims of tie Communists, and to talk
too much about the organization and the rights of
labor. We saw that fearful reaction must sooner
or later take place but we also thought we saw
that the longer it was procrastinated the better.
The Provisional Government, and especially its
leading spirit, LAMARTINE, preserved the peace Of
the capital longer and more perfectly than thought
the wisdom and the prudence of any man or men
could have preserved peace amid such collection
OF combustibles. This may have been done by
promises 10 the people, by management of their
Chiefs and by interesting one portion OF the revolu-
tionsts TO keep the other portions in awe and in
quietness. However, twas DONE BY this manage
ment the inevitable and final collision between the
working class and those above them was put off un-
til the latter were organized and armed, and were
duly supported by the military. Had this collision
taken place in March or April, the citizens would
have been decimated and defeated. But, by allow
ing time for the National Assembly to meet, for
garde mobile Of stanch soldiers to be formed, and
Tor the regular military to recover confidence in
themselves and in their leaders, M. LAmARTINE and
his friends really and most efectually contributed
10 the satisfactory triumph which, we hope, has
been attained, by order over disorder, by intel
gence and common sense over ignorant force and
visionary claims, and by properly and right over
spoaaon and outrage.
We trust that we shall have TO praise Gen. Ca
vAIesAc and those who may now succeed to power
IN France, for the same virtue of forbearance, the
same respect for the peace OF The world and the
rights of the neighborlng nations, which marked the
administration Of NJ. DE LAnARTNE. Gen. Cavag-
nae bears high character. His whole conduct
since February, and his refusal to accept Office until
he was furnished with the power TO make Govern
nent respected, are proofs Of his prudence and
irmness. His military operations in putting down
he insurrection display great determination. He
mas well performed his duty ant yet, we fear. he
will have earned thereby deep-rooed UNPOPULAR
y, and that he will have created amongst the lower
