In the New York Tribune of the ID inst we
find the following very interesting letter from the
Liverpool correspondent of that paper, giving an
account of the suppression of the recent conspiracy
in Paris:
LIVERPOOL, May 90, 1851 A. NJ
The conspiracy discovered in Paris on Monday
for the overthrow of the Republic and the estab-
lishment of terrorism, has been sgnally defeated
The greater portion of the wretched promoters of
this insane movement are now either in the hands
OF the authorities or reduced to condition which
will not admit of their doing farther harm. Louis
Blanc, however, is still at liberty, although there
are strong grounds for sllspectng that he was ac-
tually with the consplraters during the two hours
he was absent from the National Assembly on
Monday
The strongest means have been adopted to pre-
bers of the secret clubs. The allegiance Of the
troops OF the Fle and National Guard is fully de-
pended OH. and M. Lamartines popularity has
been efiec ITALY restored. Still feeling is preva-
lent that the Government is Feeble and the ultra
democr attic party in the ascendant, but the pre-
sulnpi ION is scarcely warranted Judging from the
resa Is of the determined bearing exhibited by the
MAJ GRITTY of the interim Government. =
Advices from Paris of Thursday evening state
u lat the city had been perfectly tranquil during the
day. The amount Of arrests amounted to 200 up
to that time. Blanqui and Flotte, by some mystic
nae has been appointed Minister Of War, and nj.
Frouve- Chauvel Project of Police.
After the mob had been driven out of the hall of
the National Assembly, on the 18th, they marched
to the Hotel de Vile, TO appoint committee of
Public Safety; and MN Barbes, Albert and the
other ministers of the would-be new Provisional
Government had Just commenced, in the Identical
room in which Robespiere and his associates were
seized, their functions Directors, when the Ma
tor al Guard entered the building from the rear,
Which had been totally unguarded bounced upon
TIE pseudo government and after struggle, in
Which NJ Barbes in particular ran some risk,
carried them off prisoners. Citizen Sobrer in the
Interim repaired to the minister of the interior with
his montaguards. He demanded admittance, and
the transfer of the ministry to him, and OF the mill
tary posts to his faithful followers.
He was admitted, but only to be arrested his
hundred parsans were disarmed, stripped even of
their scarlet cravats and turned adrift After the
Chamber of Deputies and the Hotel de Vile had
been purged of their new occupants, and after the
arrest of several parties connected with the at
tempted revolution, who had in the first instance
escaped, all Paris presented masses of National
Guards moving in columns of thousands to the
great points of the city
The people and the women, the best dressed Ia
dies even, cheering them en- PEASANT. Not a chair
was unoccupied, nor there scarcely possibility
of moving in the Boulevards, from the crowds of
we-dressed people, of both sexes, and of workmen
mixed up with them, discussing, in groups, what
had taken place, and in loud condemnation Of the
disturbance This feeling was almost universal.
Here and there fanatic cried, "Viue Barbes ~
but was Immediately surrounded. seized and carried
off to prison.
Such was the conduct of the people throughout
thatmportant evening. BY midnight, all was quiet.
In the of the night, regiment of Cuirassiers
and the students of the Military School Of St Cyr
arrived in Paris, and several regiments of the line,
from other quarters, marched on the Capital
The students Oh the Polytechnic School turned
out at the first report of the Instructions and placed
themselves at the disposal of the Executive Gov
eminent. When M. Lamartine and NJ. Ledru Roll
lin went to the Hotel de Vile the 15th the latter,
having advanced a few steps before NJ. Lamartine,
was arrested by the second in command at the Ho-
tel de Vile. M Ledru Rollin having strongly pro-
tested against this the officer answered, arrest
you because your in the list of the pretended
Government that has been proclaimed.
NJ Ledru Rollin then alighted from his horse,
when he was joined by NJ. Lamartine, who said he
would be answerable for his colleague
Paris was, throughout the night of the 18th, pretty
tranquil Eighty thousand National Guards had
passed the night under arms in patroling, but
incident, save one, that could be characterized as
violent occurred after nightfall. The house No. IT,
(Sobriers) Rue de Rvoh, exactly opposite the Tuil
cries, was entered by the people and the firemen
and the National Guards. His own body-guard of
Montagnards were seized, disarmed, and ignomin-
iously kicked into the street-hs bureau and private
apartments broken nto-his papers torn or burnt
the furniture in the premises was smashed, and
strict search made for the citizen himself who, for
tunately for himself was at the moment on the other
side of the water.
Three National Guards were killed during theaf-
fray at the passage Moliere and another was very
seriously wounded at the corner of the Hotel de
Vile itself. The man who shot him was immedi-
atev arrested vast number of prisoners was

visional Government, Tonlin, Saisset, Ia maitre

qui The National Guards seized upon Gen. Cour-
tais, stripped his epaulettes off his shoulders and
carried them as trophies before them.
NJ Caussdiere, the Project of the Police, is i'm
plicated in the affair, and has been dismissed.
Seventyfve of the body guard kept by the clubblst
Sobrier, in the house Of the de Rivoi mo. 10y,
were arrested in the same house. A large guam
hty OF arms and ammunition were found. 1t was
announced that the Guard called the Montagnards
were disbanded. Persons who were in the room
with NJ Barbes were also arrested and conducted
to prison. These arrests are said to amount to at
least sixty.
On many persons We're found pistols, daggers
and on some letters from the chiefs of the plot
The First Legion of the National Guard, which is
the most aristocratic in Paris, the most ardent
in favor of the National Assembly. 1t was the
Due de Monchy who arrested Gen. 0ourtais. The
sword of Gen. Courtais was carried by the First
Legion in triumph through the streets. The pri-
soners were sent at O'Clock on the 10th to Vim
cennes, and any attempt to release them would be
useless. Two regiments of Cuirassiers came up at
gallop from Versailles.
The part taken by Louis Blanc in the affray of
the 18th is yet involved in some mystery He can
not, it is supposed, clear himself of completely in
the matter. During the time that the mob had pos
session of the Assembly, he, as well as Barbes AL
bert and Gen. Courtais, mingled with the crowd in
the te-chambers and lobbies, shook them by the
hand and expressed his confidence in them. When
Albert and Barbes went to the Hotel de Vile. nj.
Louis Blanc also quilted the Assembly, but for
tunately for himself, he did not accompany them to
the Hotel de Vile. and he has not given any ex-
PLANTATION of where he was in the interval But
certainly, after the failure of the attempt to estab,
lish Provisional Government, he re-appeared and
declared solemny that he was perfectly innocent of
all participation in the events Of the day. deca-

NJ Sobrier seems to have been one of the prime
movers of the emeute. In the search made on the
