Barbes went to the Hotel de Vile, Nj. Louis Blanc
also quilted the Assembly; but fortunately for him
self he did not accompany them to the Hotel de
Vile, and he has not given any explanation OF
where he was In the interval. But certainly,
vlsional government, he reappeared and declared
soemnly that he was perfectly innocent OF all par
ticipatiOn in the events of the day-a declaration
which was received with shouts of derlslon and
contempt.
M. Sobrier seems to have been oneof the prime
movers of the Snene.
In the search made on the evening of the 18th, at
the Offices of the Commune de Paris, published by
were LOADED barrel of gunpowder, and other
munitions of war. Some OF the papers which
were seized said to be OF great Importance.
We understand that not less than eighty-two
arrests were made in Sobrer's apartments.
One of the persons arrested had a paper in
his hand, which he thrust into his mouth and tried
to swallows but being seized by the throat, hc was
obliged TO give 1t up, and 1t turned out to be list
of abiies.
Altogether, the movement was a most violent
attempt to usurp the Government of France. A

ed. 1t appeared, however, that this troop had re-
fused to quit the prefecture, to allow the Ma
tional Guard to enter it. They declined even to
obey any verbal order from their chief, M.
Caussidiere, who was then at the Assembly.
They declared that they would not move
until M. Caussidiere himself came to order
them
This contest continued for several hours,
during which great military force collected
round the prefecture. AT o'clock, 10000 men
surrounded it. They admitted some detachments
of the National Guard within the builing. During
the night, however, the neighborhood continued,
vouacked in the streets
A report prevailed that Louis Blanc had been
arrested. According to another report, he had
taken flight.
The number of prisoners in vncennes is 81; 80
individuals are under arrest in the Hotel de Vile.
Advlces Of the 18th state that things begin to
resume the aspect of civil order. In the early
part of the forenoon, the usual mass of troops was
collected round the Chamber, but about noon an
order arrived that they should march to their
quarters, and that the only external mark of pre-
caution visible during the day has been, that the
garden and courts have been occupied by regi-
ment OF the line and some detachments of the
guard mobile.
The walks have been placarded with an apollo
getc manifesto from M. Caussldiere, in which
he defends his conduct by declaring that a
republican police cannot adopt preventive mea-
sures and that his functions could only be
represslve. He wrote on the morning of the
18th, to M. Pagnerre, Secretary of the provi-
sIonal government, assuring hun that the demon
stration about to be made would be perfectly tran
qull; that his agents were at the head of the
movement; and that he would be responsible for
the result The Executive was not, however,
wholly tranquiized, but made fewer and less i'm
porant preparations, scarcely expecting an attack.
THE NATIONAL ASSEMBLY.
On the opening Of the Chamber on the 10th ut., NJ
Bucnez, the President having resigned the chair to
GORDON, Of tho Vice Presidents, proceeded To
offer to the Chamber explanations for his conduct
the occasion of the invasion of the Chamber by the
popnlace the day, previous. NJ Buchez said, that
tanning furious menaces against tho Assembly, on the
subject of beating the rappei, he thought it right to
nurs broke out from all parts Of the Assembly. NJ.
Buchez appeared disconnected, and stanmered out
cuses saying that he feared for the lives of the
bers But honor Ia more precious than life ~ cried

feet of police had not yet been dismissed and that he
was about to offer explanations to the Assembly the
subject Of the inaction imputed to the police yester
day Several members spoke the subject Of the Pre-
feet OF Police and the republican, guard imputing to
them completely with the insargcnt party.
Mr. Caussdiere after presented himself to offer
cxpa nations to the Assembly. Two hours
sumed with the various questions put to him and the
answers given, at the end Of which he resigned his
nee. When M Caussdicre presented himself in the
Chamber, much surprise was expressed inasmuch as
reports had circulated that he had shut himself up in
the Prefecture of Police and the government de-
nance. Respecting this the following explanation is

given by NJ Caussdere possessed particular inter
est beyond the circumstance that he sought conti-
nuslly to make the provisional government the
tive commission, and the present ministry participa-
tors in the wrongs with which they reproach him NJ.
Cremieux having considered 1t his duty give expa-
nations, NJ Caussdiere became violent, and, in n
tone of bravado cried out that it had been his inten
ton to carry on his Office in fraternal manner the
times required; but since he longer had their
