force. Accordingly, or Sunday morning. the
organ OF the clubs, the Coanmune de Paris,
summoned all ferol,aioa0tyes to meet in the
Champ de Mars. The effect was, that the
whole of the morning the Boulevards and
streets were crowded with PROFESSIONS MAX
ing their way towards the Champ de Mars,
but it was not till towards two o'clock that
the alarm was taken by the Government At
that hour the gaQloel began to beat, me shops
were closed, and a universal panic seized upon
the public. The assembly of ouyrjers i'll the
Champ de Mars amounted to upwards of 1907
900 men; a consultation of delegates took
place, after which the different trades, which
were marshalled under distinct leaders, and
marched in columns ten deep, directed their
steps towards the Hotel de Vile. Amongst
the cries were, "a baS Lama1ti,,e, and 81 baS
le Government Prorisioaaiye.' The national
guard and the garde mobile turned out under
arms when the rape! was beat, and have
shown the best disposition towards the Pro-
visional Government. The occupied the whole
square of the Hotel de Vile, the Bourse, the
residences of the ministers, and the various
public buildings. They remained under arms
all night. The supposition is, that when it
was found that the National Guards were out
in great numbers, they thought it advisable to
proceed peaceably.
! The London Times of the 2lst of April fur
nished the following particulars of the state
of affairs up to goth.
| Disorders of the most serious kind have
occurred in various parts of France-in the
south particularly. We find towards the
north, also, new cases of disturbances and in
subordinatiun. The pretext for these has been
in most instances offences caused by the Com
mssaries of the Government, who have in ma
ny instances been obliged to resign or retire.
At Lyons the malcontents have had their own
way and will. more than would appear from
the journals
The Elections in France were to take place
on the 23d.
The Monitor publishes proclamation of
the Mayor of Paris, NJ. Armand Marrast, in
forming the citizens that the electoral lists
should be closed at midnight on the Goth that
the elections should commence at clock in
the morning of the 23d, and poll remain open
until O'Clock 2. NJ, when the ballot boxes
are to be closed and sealed, and only re OPEN
ed on the oath. The scrutiny was to continue
on that dag. from O clock A. NJ. till 10 o'clock

The state of the la5oring classes in and
around the neighborhood of Paris is becoming
daily more and more distressing Many thou
sands of tradesmen are thrown out of employ
mcnt, for whom it is impossible for the Gov
eminent to provide. II is said that NJ. Ledru
Rollin IS arranging plan by which a large
portion Of these unfortunate persons will be
formed into Il movable garde mobile, and re-
moved to the frontiers. By this plan he hopes
10 get rid of the unemployed artisans. and al
the same time set up national force to coun-
terbalance the army. which does not appear to
be very we'll disposed towards the Republic.

announce that the Sandman troops have
gained some advantages over the Austrians at
the Bridge of Goito and it was at first stated
