locrats are equally determined not to suffer
the destruction of the Republic without a
struggle. Both parties are preparing for the
contest, and we may expect whatever time
it commences, that ii will be desperate one.
Since yesterday the situation of affairs has
been greatly aggravated and | know it TO
be the opinion of some of the first public
men in France, that the battle cannot be
long avoided.
The Project of the Police, in his reports
to the Government, declares that he fully
expects an instruction in Paris within
week, and that the Government has taken
precautions accordingly. The strictest
and most precise orders have been given by
General Changarnier to the officers under
his command, and the plan of operations,
in case of an outbreak, is regularly settled.
Not feeling any particular confidence in the
National Guards, that force is not to be call
ed out in the first instance. The first or
ders to be given are, that all doors are to be
closed, and that every person found in the
streets will be considered an insurgent-
Every soldier refusing to obey his officer is
to be shot at once. All persons found at
the barricades are also to be shot without
mercy. The troops have been all confined
to,their barracks since yesterday, and things
are in precisely the some state of prePera-
ton as they used to be Immediately after the
Revolution of February. The Hotel de
Vile and the Tuileries are furnished with
large stores of arms and ammunition, and
the soldiers on duty are provided with ra-
tons for eight days.
Among the working classes the excite
ment and agitation is very great. A great
number Of the workmen in the Faubourgs
ST. Antoine and st. Marcel have left work,
and are now wandering about the streets.
1t is said that they 60 about in parties of
FIVE and six to the barracks in Paris and the
suburbs, for the purpose OF seducing the
soldiers from their duty and that they have
already collected great quantities ofammuni-
ton and combustibles for the purpose Of at
tack and defence in case of an outbreak.
The Evenement and the PreSSe have been
seized to-day by the authorities. The whole
Of this day there has been crowd ofpeople
assembled in the Rue Montmartre, in front
ofthe PreSse office. The ouvriers are crow
ding to sign the petitions against the Eec-
toral Law. M. Emile de Girardin has made
several Intellectual attempts to dissipate the
crowd, which, for the last hour, has assumed
rather threatening appearance.
Another account says
1t is said generally that the government
will not stop these violent proceedings until
they have succeeded in producing an emeute
which they want, for the sake of putting
Paris in state of siege While they have so
much business on hand at home, we hear of
certain acts indicating hostile feeling to-
wards England. Orders have been trans
mtted to the seaports to get ready vessels
for the Mediterranean, and all officers have
been ordered to join their ships.
A hundred and fifty of the old Republican
Guard and Garde Mobile are about to be
conveyed, at the expense of the government,
to California. The first detachment of fifty
left Paris on the 10th for Toulon, where the
entire party are to embark on board the
corvette La Capriceuse.
