THE LATE TUMuLTS IN pane

The LAIE IOMULJS In PARIS.
We gave in yesterdays paper the mos.
authentic details that had reached u, from
impartial sources, of Days of the l2b
and l4th Of June, which period will bera'
after be reckoned among the Epochs a.
French History. We find, unex pectedlv
in the regular Paris Cores pondence of,S.
New York Tribune" an account BY ons
of the Socialists of Paris, himself engaged
in the late conspiracy Gre union' 4.

an account, which without employing an,
other language than such as " ould be us.S

through the triumph of law and order over

can be no clearer acknowledgement Of IN
participation Of this writer in this lavle..
and criminal enterprise, than his own ac.
knowledged flight from the hands Of ius-
tice. His authority for the facts Of Tia
case, must therefore be beyond dispute.
To direct the readers attention to the
main points of this remarkable confession.
we have italicised the pregnant passage,
in the correspondence referred 10, and

PARIS, June IA. lS49.-lP.M.
have to communicate to you events of
the utmost Importance to-day. Paris has
been in state Of siege. we hare been on
the brink of terrible revolution. The
principal cause is the unhappy affair d
Italy.
described in former letter the strur.
gle under the walls OF Rome, and the ali.
ticuties which grew out of it. A still
graver difficulty has since arisen. This
is the misunderstanding between our En-
voy Extraordinary, M. de Lesseps, with
the Commanding General Oudinot, ard
then the determination OF the President 70
maintain the military occupation of Rome.
and to sacrifice the Roman Republic, &C.
cording to conspiracy against liberty
concerted with the Pope, and especially
with Austria and the other absolute Pow.
ers for it is certain that Plus TX, regard
ing the policy Of France as sill too lbe-
raj, would much prefer 10 be indebted 10
Austria alone for the re-establi>hment Of
his temporal authority. Nj. de Lesseps
had concluded and armistice on terms
which, without giving too great advantages
to the Romans, did not al least involve The
destruction OF the present constitution, and |
the pure and simple restoration Of the
temporal sovereignty Of the Pope. He

Oudinet, whose orders 10 press the attack
were renewed, while NJ. de Lesseps was
recalled. | will moi tire you with reci-
tal of all these tergiversations, all these
contradictions Of our policy.
1t became evident yesterday, from alr
the Jurisprudence and publications. that
the President, agreeing with the minority
OF his Ministry, had never taken into Sc
rions account the wishes manifested by
the National Assembly on the 9TH of May.
He himself gave the order to renew the
attack, while his Ministry recalled NJ. De

The employment Of our Military forces
against the will OF the Constituent As.
sembly, and against the liberty Of PEG.
pie attempting 10 establish Republic, the /
disposition OF an armed force, and the de- |
claratior Of a foreign war, without the
concurrence of the National Assembly,
are acts which constitute fragrant viola
ton Of demonstration. The members of \
the Legislative Assembly devoted 10 The
Republic. and faithful to its true spirit,
have rehsmentiy resented this irenchry.
Public opinion has been Sung By II to The

port of the Constitution. Convinced ID L
advance that the Assembly would vote tho
order of the day, he lodged an accusation
against the President and the Ministry.
He could not forbear So ing, in the coarse
Of the discussion, that his colleagues Of The
left and himself had determined TO defend
the Constitution eren By arms. He might
have avoided this assertion, which gave
All unexpected impulse 10 the progress Of
events, ard occasioned the check which
the opposition had just received. u
M. Theirs and NJ. Lacrosse, aided BY
the majority, took the occasion 10 attack
Ledru Rollins nawares, after one Of those
expressions which cannot be taken back.
They maintained the urgency of the case
with still more energy than Ledru Rollin,
and the Opposition in a few hours rG
forced to appeal 10 the people. The Dem.
ocrofic Socialist Committee, the reunion
the Press, the Society Of the friends ofih
Contitution, the delegates OF The Industrial
Associations, themselves pressed this ap.
peal to the people. The indignation was
universal. A large number OF the higher
officers of the national guard manifested
disposition TO lend their aid. A meeting
