PARIS, OCTOBER 81, 1850.
The French press is much occupied to-day with
matter that would butslighty interest your read.
ers, viz, the removal of Gen. Neumayer from the
command of one of the divisions composing the
army of Paris, under the orders of Gen. Changer
nier. II only derives importance from the facts
that Gen.. N. was the favorite subordinate, the
fright arm" the protege OF Gen. c., and the
measure was discussed in the Cabinet, and adopted
without the knowledge Of this General and finally
executed by the President in spite of the remon-
STRANGE the protest. and ii is even said the entrea-
ties Of Gen. c.. From this results proof that
Gen. Changarnier is upon the old terms of mistrust
and want Of cordially with the President, and also
with the new Minister of War, Gen. Scramm. He
has turned deaf ear to the repeated calls and
warnings of the Bonapartist press, urging him to
come out and define frankly and boldly his political
position. He has been warned that with all the just
considerations which attaches to him in the country
France will not perish if he himself should be re-
moved from his high command, and that the Presi-
dent readily find other and capable officers to
take his place. There can be no doubt, after what
has taken place, that if the President dared if he
did not fear the instant convocation and hostile
ton of the Assembly, Gen. G. would be promptly
transferred to some other command. A curious
position is that now occupied by Gen. Changer
nier. No one believes him republican, or even
kindly disposed toward the Republic, yet all eyes
turned upon him as the great obstacle which
Bonaparte can neither remove nor pass in order to
pui away the Republic. This state of things pro-
duced sudden and considerable fall Of stocks yes
terday upon Change and All extra meeting of the
Assembly's Commission of Permanence was called
10 discuss the question of convocaon. No deter
mination was arrived at, and the commission meets
again to-day. The excitement will die away, and
the Assembly meet atthe appointed day, the l. tn
November. ..- ...i.
The Republicans are awaiting and expecting
daily the reply Of Gen. Cavaignac to the contra
dctory statements which have lately been made in
the journals, all apparently from the best authority,
in relation to his opinions and intentions upon the
subject of the extension of the term of M. Bona
parte. The General is at the present moment at
Frankfort-on-the-Main whence it is supposed he
will write to the National defining with more clear
ness his position
1t would seem from the accounts of the papers Of
Lyons that a formidable democratic socialist plot
has been discovered. Twelve or, fifteen arrests
have been made. There was-so goes the report,
which believe to be much exaggerated for party
purposes-to have been in November rising Of the
democrats in the departments of the centre and
east. Lyons was the centre Of operations. Cor
respondence has been seized, the Elysean journals
say, duplicating the refugees in Switzerland and
England. There Are doubtless many secret repub-
lican societies; but the idea that they have been
conspiring an immediate instruction does not gain
general credit. Remembering June, 1852, they
quiet, abiding their time, of which they are
expecting the quarrels of the reactionst parties to
hasten the coming. -@
