PRINTERS OF PARIS.

Among the incidents which led to the
recent Revolution in France, the follow.
ing from the London Chronicle, is not
unimportant. 1t is an extract from let.
ter, dated Paris, Feb. 81, the day before
the outbreak:
"A serious cause of alarm is with respect
to the compositors and pressmen of Paris.
They are very formidable body,
amounting to upwards of 10000 men.
They have given notice in almost all the
printing establishments. that they will
not be at their work tomorrow, as thew
have to attend the procession to the
Champs Elysees.
They are almost all communists and
socialists, and need not remind you that
they were the first movers and the prin-
cipal contributors to the Revolution Of
July"
1t is not true that "almost ALL" or even
very large number Of the printers Of
Paris are Communists and socialism,
but it is true that 9.!enths of them are
Republicans. They all hate Louis Phil
lippe most cordially for refusing them
permission to meet for the past -four years
to discuss matters connected with their
business. They are highly intelligent
and intellectual class Of men, as printers
everywhere must necessarily be,-and
by their influence over other artisans and
mechanics, in Paris, were no doubt the
chief instruments in giving Louis Phil
lppe leave of absence.
