Paris appeared like abesieged city. The
streets were occupied by $4,000 soldiers.

the first barricade erected would be the
signal for general slaughter No alarm is
felt, as Marshall Rugeaud was Dispatch
ed from Paris to bring up strong divls-
ion of the army of the Alps, ostensibly to
command during the State trials, but with
no less an object than that of overawing
the Red Republicans in Paris.
The motion for getting rid of the pro-
position of M. Rateau to dissolve the
National Assembly, was only defeated by
416 to 405. Since that vote great tram
guilty has prevailed in the National AS
sembly.
On the goth the Minister of the Inte-
rior announced that he had been directed
by the President of the Republic to pre-
sent bill against the holding of clubs
The Assembly had already enacted Sc
we're penalties, with view to repress the
excesses. The government had ordered
a number of clubs to be closed in the cap
ital and departments, and announced OF
tenders to Tribunals.
LeIamd.-Charles G. Duffy has been
brought up before the courts on new
bill, and is to take his trial at the present
term, under the crown and government
security act.
England was opened
by the Queen in lengthy speech. The
speech places the fact beyond doubt that
the Government has no idea of stultitying
on their part the free trade doctrine, but
are resolved steadily to carry out their
principles.
