Madeline, the troops were put in mo-
=, and, turning to the right and left,
s.s.rted through the street, and made a

Meanwhile, the Representatives who had
,;rpsd he appeal ,Dere assembled in their
sssa;tise- room near the Polais National.
~ rolice having attempted to dispense
ah,;;r reunions, the members, with Ledru
RdIin Il their head, betook themselves to
4. garden Of the Palais National, where
- found The artillery under command OF
= Coiond. Our friends Hennequin and
Cnyan, were under arms, as ,reI as mu-
~, vho beIong to has staff. Ledru Roll
IN addressed himself to the Colonel and
lAfhe National Guard who were present,
and ,smmoned them, in the name of the
Constitution, to girc their aid 10 the Repre-
aslal;ves Of the people, who were deter
mined to defend it by resisting the public
authorities by an armed force. He re-
ouested them to accompanythe Representa-
iives 10 The Conservatoire les Arts, where
they were going to seek a place in which
they could deliberate on their peculiar
condition. They all rallied at the cry Of
viye Ia Republique, Vive la Constitution,
and Uent to the Conservatory, situated in
the Rue de St. Martin. They held their
position until halt-past three o'clock but
i was evident that it could not be main
ained by force, and beside no one wished
70 do so, although the muskets were not
loaded and the artillery had no cartridges.
Isaw myself the Representatives oppos-
ing the construction Of barricades.
The troops Of the line and the National
Guards, hostile 10 this manifestation, did
nd hesitate to come in great numbers.
The assembly was dispersed without re-
stance. Some Representatives Of the
people were arrested; among them julie.
Haigne, Vautier: Book, Pllhes, Deville,
and Suchet.
All the quarters Of the city had been
already occupied by large mass Of troops
Of every description, recently arrived at
Paris. Other regiments were kept whose
disposition could not be relied on.
There were scarcely any attempts al
resistance. The people did not intend to
resist. A few exceptions, proceeding
from some hot heads, do not disprove this
assertion. The movement, then. was i'm
nediaiely suppressed or rather the people
ease il up OF their own accord as soon
9 they found that the national guard took
no part IN Il.
The disposition Of the national guard in
This respect may be accounted for BY many
reasons, and especially By the terrors ofihe
Bourgeois in visw Of Socialism, by sym
Pa,hy with our army engaged in muir
derous siege at Rome, and Ivy the remains
Of q Catholic spirit. The e-cstabIishlnen,
Of the temporal authority of the Pope does
not shock our population.
From all this the reaction will derive a
great advantage temporarily, and it will
prove the sererest trial for Sociatism which
i has yet experienced.
The reaction began yesterday with vio-
lent measures. Ii commenced with the
Democratic PacJfque the presses have
been seized, the office ransacked, and sew
eral Of its editors arrested. The same
thing has happenedt to La Tari Republique,
k Peupie, La Rspubtique. La Revolution
dsmocrotique ct Social. and even L Estata-
4.
The editors have been arrested, the
Offices thrown into confusion. The place
for holding Of meetings of the friends of
The Constitution has been invaded. Lean
not give you any more precise details at
his moment, for am not in Paris-uou
rsn guess the Reason. We shalt see other
measures TO day, having for their object
Inc suppression Of the Socialist propa-
ganda.
In former letter expressed my fears
That our party would lose their patience
amid all the prosecutions and all the cal
umnies which they endured, and in face
o. the fragrant violations of the Republic
can Constitution both in spirit and in letter.
These fears are unhappily realized.
Those who wished 10 restrain the party
without being able were obliged TO submit
10 the torrent, in order to assume their
al future period.
This will be ,ay own course henceforth,
md the cause will icse nothing by listen
ny to those who are ,hs most skilful and
'agscious in political calculation. We
'ave not lost orr courage, and you will
loon see what advantage we shall gain
rom this great disaster. With sincere
'sieem, JULIUS LECHEVALIER.
