THE LATE EMEUTE IN PARIS.

Considerable alarm was caused in Paris On the 18th
ult by report OF emeute having broken out in the
Care st. Martin. 1t appears that large groupe oil
work people had assembled together in orderto prevent
any further demolition OF the trees of liberty: and the
police finding it impossible to carry on their work OF
destruction without moestaton, resolved to disperse
them by toce which they did not accomplish without
much difficulty. A good deal of agitation, however
continued, and it was found necessary call in the aid
of the troops, when the enaeute was happily quelled
less hurt; one, it is believed, fatally 1t appears that
General de Lamorciere was set on by mob and had
very narrow escape by getting out the roof of the
house in which he took shelter. The troops returned
to their quarters before midnight all appearance of riot
having been removed.
"The Constitutional has the following account Of
General Lamoriceres adventure: The following is an
episode in the events which took place yesterday which
write from the d!cation of representative who had
it from General Lamoricele himself The general was
proceeding to the Rue Richelieu on some business
While going there he heard that there was some apta
ton at the Porte St. Martini and he proceeded along
the Boulevards. On arriving the Porte ST. Dennis
he observed that there considerable assemblage Of
people, and he ordered his coachman to turn back but
it was too late His carriage continued at foot
pace, and was then that the General was recognized
One of the rioters approached the carriage and called
on him to cry 'Vive la Repubque, which the General
complied with second repeated the injunction with
the same effect; third approached, and in more
brutal manner cried out salute the Republic al the same
time giving General Lamorciere a blow on the head
with his fist He then got out of his carriage when he
surrounded by crowd, and had great difficulty in
disengaging himself from them.
"Ihe General then wentino OF the streets run
ming Oft the Boueyards and walked on at rapid pace
but was again surrounded by furious band who kept
crying out, 1T he is he He returned again to the
Boulevards, still pursued and more and more threate
ed but meeting old suboffcer of his regiment the
latter took him into his house At this moment Gene
raj Lamorciere received blow which knocked off his
hat which he had not time to pick up The crowd re-
manned round the door. There was no possibility to
leave the house by the front or the back and he was
consequently taken to the third floor where petition
was knocked down, and by that means the General
gained the ROOT and entered neghbourng house by the
sky-ght of granay thence descended into the street
A gentleman who was passing at the moment on
horseback, recognized the General alghted and offered
him his horse, which was accepted and putting spur 10
the animal, he gained the quarter de Saint Vincent de
Paul, and returned home covered with mud.
The accounts from Paris, of the 9th state that the
city was tranquil, and that particular act OF violence
had been committed since Monday Crowds of Gu
rous and idle people, however, had assembled around
the two remaining trees Of liberty in the quarter ST.

some degree OF tumut was apprehended The mill
tary therefore, received orders to clear the Streets and
the spot being placed in state of blockade the police
cut down those trees and burned them Great irrita-
ton was exhibited by the several groups OF people col
ected in the neghborhood but the appearance OF so
many soldiers completely overawed them, and they pro-
ceeded to no acts OF outrage beyond an occasional
blow inflicted upon the surgeons de vile la hour at

fear of riot was at an end, Several men in bouses
have been placed in custody. All officers leave of
