of Ledru Rollins Commis szaries, on account {
O.. some violent proceedings. He had in-
dulged in the exercise Of the unlimited pow
ers with which he and his fellow Commits
saries had been invested by M. Rollin.
NJ. de Lamartine and several other mem-
bers of the Provisional Government are said [
to have admitted the misconduct Of the I
Commissary and stated that he ought to
have been removed.
M Rollin refused to sacrifice function-
ary who, if to blame at all, was only guilty F
of over zeal in the cause of the Renublic. T
Upon this violent scene ensued. Words
passed between the different members Of
the Provisional Government which caused
wide breach in the councils Of the nation.
The following is another version of the
affair.
Paris has been the scene of those extraor-
dinary demonstrations which can only oc-
cur in that capital. but fortunately it passed |
off without bloodshed. And M. Blanqui
was stung to madness by the publication of !
certain paper alleged to be found at M. /
Guizot's, which impeached his political
character. He Illuminated a most bitter |
philippe against the Provisional Govern
ment, in which he declared the documents
published to be forgeries and inveighed most
bitterly against M. Marrast and M. de La
MARITIME in terms not to be forgiven, and in
which he swore to overthrow the Govern
ment 1t seems that a plot was actually
formed to intimidate the Provisional Gov
ernment, and eject Lamertine, Marrast, and
other liberal members, and form a new
Government consisting of l.. Rollin, Cabot
Blanqui, Albert, Louis Blanck, Floeom ;,
Arago, Raspail, and Pierre Lereuz.
Ireland.
The deplorable state Of Ireland, appa.
rently en- the verge ola civil war, contin-
ues to occupy the deepest attention Of all
classes.
The divergence between the Repealers,
headed by Mr.. O'Connell, and the party
led on by Mr.. Mitchell, becomes greater
every day. The O'Connells manlully de.
! clare that they will take their stand upon,
at the very ne plus ultra, the uttermost
bounds of the law and constitution, and
will adhere TO the counsels bequeathed 10
| them by their father, to obtain Repeal by
peaceble and constitutional means only.
The rent has fallen to f25, and il 10 ev.
idsnt that numerical majority Of the Irish
people are in favor Of outrageous measures.
In the meantime, the people in every part
of the country continue to supply them
selves with arms; some arrests have indeed
taken place in Dublin, Cork and Limerick,
to check the progress of the armament,bu
these stets are Of course wholly inadequate
to ward off the danger. We expect, al
most by every post, intelligence Of some
disastrous event arising out of the excited
state Of the country.
Great ard influential bodies continue to
pour in addresses to the Lord Lieutenant,
expressive Of their determination to sup.

content seems now to be laid. so extensive
ly, and with such mischievous effect, that
we doubt whether the whole weight of the
Government, with even the support Of the
/ O'Conhell's will be able to prevent some
great explosion. Another significant fea-
ture attends this unhappy state of things.
The run on the Savings Banks in Cork
and in the South of Ireland, goes on with
accelerated speed The repositories desir.
ing their funds are paid in Bank Of Fretnnd
notes, which are speedily converted into
geld. Mr. Mischeli's language in the' u nj.
ted lrishman,' increases in violence
daily. The National also vies with the
younger journal in disseminating treason
able doctrines. A late number contains a
letter from parish priest, settiAg forth
the doctrine of Catholic resistance.
It inculcates the doct rine Of arming qui-

only be productiue Of some mighty eatas

The feeling as to the efficacy of repeal
in staying the mischief appears in some
quarters to be gaining ground, bu! there il

dea being entertained by the Government
Among the converts to repeal, however, is
said to be no less personage than the
Earl of Shrewsbury, who no doubt trem-
bles for his estates. The state prosecutions
against Mr. Mitchell, O'Brien, and Meogh-
er, commenced on the first day Of term,and
true bills have been found against them.
Public excitement seems to extend even to
private men, who have taken a conspicu.
