Il appears that the Government ascertainea
that the invasion of The Assembly was resu-
larry organized conspiracy, and that Inc lnsur-
reciion was intended 10 break out al The same IN
slant at Lyons, and probably at other places.
Telegra pbic despatch was sent of The auhori-
ties al Lyons TO inform them OF their danger,
and TO announce the suppression OF The insurrec,
ton in Paris. The great point OF solicitude and
attention on Tuesday night was the prefecture OF
Police. The neighborhood was completely block.

with regiments of infantry of the line, and OF the
Guard Mobile, so as 10 leave barely room Tor

All circulation was stopped on the Rue de Or
ievres, leading to the Prefecture, that road being
also entirely filled with troops, as also the court
at the Prefecture, and all the avenues OF The Pa
lais.
The Hotel de Vile continued TO be similarly
surrounded. The conduct imputed to M. Caus'
sidiere in reference TO the proceedings OF Mon
day and some other previous events brought the

ever, that This troop had refused 10 quit Inc Ere
lecture, or 10 allow the National Guard TO enter
it. They declined even TO obey any verbal order
from their chief, Nj. Caussdiere, who was al The
Assembly. They declared lha, they would not
move until M. Caussidefe himself came 10 order
them. This contest convinced for several hours,
during which great military force collected
around the Prefecture. Ala o'clock 5000 men
surrounded it. They admitled some detachmens
OF the National Guard within The building. Dur

PARls, Thursday, May l8.-The termination
of the Assembly yesterday evening assumed an
unexpected degree of importance. While the
ballot for the members 10 form The committee on
the constitution was going on, the Minister OF the
Interior assembled The tribune, and announced Sc.
veral measures and appointments OF considera-
BILE Importance. Gen. Cavaignac has been ap-
pointed to the Office OF Minister Of War; and M.
rrouve ChaHve to that OF Prefect OF the Police.
He also announced the following measures:
The dissolution OF the Republican Guard, and
| its reorganization under The name OF Partisan
Republican Guard.
The putting down of all armed meetings, un-
der the penalty OF Imprisonment OF from three
months 10 TWO years.
The expulsion from the French territory Of
Louis Philippe and his family, as well as that
OF Charles X.

| hour, but itturned out that only SIX members OBJ
| tanned an absolute majority OF the votes, so that
| the ballot for the other members oil the commit
tee must be resumed to-day. This being by lar
the most important committee Of The session, the
selection of the members excites great interest.
| The six who have already secured an absolute
majority, and are therefore members OF the COM
mil,se, are NM. Cormenin, marrast. Lamen-
nais, Vivien, de Tocquevillc and Dufaure.
