be placed, are to be summoned as soon as
there is an attempt to move the pavement,
and are to put in force the clause in the de-
cree which assimilates the maker of bar
ricade to the insurgent taken with arms
> Before this action, barricade making was
; merely an infringement Of the laws of what
, was called la police simple but now, any
man assisting in forming barricade, can be
at once shot. Gen. Cavaignac is said to be
resolved to act with stern severity if anoth-
err outbreak should occur. The Minister of
War has PUBLISHED in the Monteur an order
in relation to five companies of 18Th regi-
ment Of the line, who laid down their arms
to the mob during the late insurrection, and
reprobates the act of the troops as one of
base cowardice. He dismisses the officers
who commanded it; breaks one of the com
panies, and disbands the others.
Three days ago, General ChangarnIer:
commander in chief of the National Guards
of Paris issued an order to the Colonies of
the several legions to meet with the princi-
pal officers of his staff, at appointed hours,
yesterday, Mairies Of their respective ar
rondissements, to confer with him on matters
of urgency. These conferences took place,
and the subject is now known to have been
concert with the several commanders of the
Ilegions, what measures should be taken in
each reimbursement in the event of another
attempt at instruction. The importance
attached by Gen. Changarnier to these con-
ferences, has been manifested by a strong
reprmand, psb1ishedin the .Moniteur against
one of the colonies, who being prevented
from attending personally sent his Lieulen-
an, Colonelto the Conference. The Colonel
has since resigned
The postscript in the European Times
says, that our accounts from Paris, dated
July IS, are again of an unsatisfactory char
ac,er report is current TO the effect that
a serious division prevails in the govern
ment. Evidence has been obtained, it is
said, which so gravely incul pated certain
members of the late government, that it has
been judged by some Of the present govern
ment to be unavoidable to apply to the As
sembly for permission to prosecute them
Another party in the government is firmly
opposed to this, not on grounds connected
with the merits of the question, but from
reasons of expediency.
Gen. Cavaignac himself is included in this
latter party the greatest activity has con-
linued to be observed in the departments of
the War Office, the Etat- Major of the Ma
tional Guard, the Minister of the Interior
and the prefecture of the Police. 1t appears
certain that attempts at excavation have been
attempted in numerous places, one of these
is close to the Chamber, another on the
Boulevard Italians, near the Rue Louis lie
Grande and another near the Fauburg Tosi-
soniere; much alarm continues to be felt,
and it is very remarkable how few persons
are visible in the streets or public walks
although the weather is fine. The officers
of E,ats-Major have been warned by Gen.
Cavaignac TO adopt extraordinary precau-
lions, for attemps would be made to assassi-
nate them at their respective homes.

From the London Times]
Notwithstanding an official announce
men. of the government that no danger of
an outbreak existed, the Paris papers of yes
terday show that much apprehension pre-
vailed throughout the French capital. All
the political prisoners were moved on Thurs
day night, from the prisons Of Paris to the
detached ports; several escaped on the way.
The National Guard and garrison were I'M
der arms at the departure of our express
and cannon were planted at various points.
Our correspondent expresses his conviction,
nevertheless, that no movement of the dis
affected would take place. The following
are samples of the reports in circulation -
One is, that general murder of the men,
bers of the Assembly is intended means
being organized of executing this smulane-
ously at their respective places of abode
Another is that an organized assault will be
made on the neutrality-suspicious., where young
persons of the one and the other are educa-
ted, that these shall be captured and kept as
hostages, to be delivered up only on the
payment of ransom of money, and the
concession of such political measures as the
insurgents may require; other reported pro-
jects have for their object the blowing up of
parts of the Capital by means OF gunpowder
deposited in the quarters of the Catacombs,
sewers, pipes, cellars and other excavations,
which already exist, besides excavations
expressly executed for the purpose. !. is
understood that the Pensiones and other es-
talishmenls for education, have been placed
under careful surveillance. Again, it is
said that column Of 10000 ouvres, with
out work, intend to march to the National
Assembly, and demand peremtorily to be fed
or shot.

In Spain, the instruction in favor of the
Count de Montemolen, fills the government,
with alarm. Salamanca, the capitalist, whose
dexterisy as an intriguer renders him one of
the most formidable enemies of the present
government, is about TO experience the ef-
fects of its vengeance, by the confiscation
of all his property in Spain, as Carlist and
