The late Emeute In Paris.

Considerable alarm caused in Paris the
4th ult by report of an erneue having broken out
in the Carrie st. Martin. 1t appears that large
group of work people had assembled together in
der to prevent any further demolition of the trees
Of liberty; and the police, finding il impossible to
carry on their work of destruction without modest
alton, resolved TO dispense them by force, which
they did not accomplish without much difficulty.
good deal of agitation, however, continued, and
it was found necessary to call in the aid Of the
troops, when the emeufe was happily queled with
out much bloodshed. Three persons were more or
less hurt; one ii is believed, fatally. II appears
that General de Lamoriciere set on by a mob,
and had very narrow escape by getting out on
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 Lamoricierc's adventure: The follow
ing is an episode in the events which took place
yesterday, which we write from the dictation of n
representative who had il from General Lamori
ciere himself The general was proceeding to the
Rue Richelieu on some business. While going
there he heard that there agitation at the
Porte st. Martin, and he proceeded along the Bou
levards. On arriving near the Porte st. Denis, he
observed that there was considerable assemblage
OF people, and he ordered his coachman to turn
back, but il was too late. His carriage was con-
tinued at foot pace and il then that the Gen.
eral was recognised. One Of the rioters approached
the carriage, and called ON him 10 cry vive la
Republiquc,' which the General complied with a
second repeated the injunction with the same effect;
n third approached, and IN a more brutal manner
cried out, salute the Republic, at the same time
giving General Lamoriciere blow on the head
with his fist. He then got out of his carriage when
he was surrounded by crowd, and had great diff
Guilty in discngaging himself from them.
The General then went into one of the streets run
ming off the Boulevards, and walked on Mt a rapid
pace but was again surrounded by furious ba nd
who kept crying out, III Is he; il is he He re-
turned again 10 the Boulcvards, still pursued and
more and more threatened; but meeting old
subofcer OF his regiment, tho latter took him into
his house. At this moment General Lamoricere
received blow which knocked off his hat, which
he had not time 10 pick up. The crowd remained
round the door. There was possibility 10 leave
the house by the front the back and he consc-
qucntly taken Ia the third floor, where n petition
was knocked down, and by that means The General
gained the roof, and entered a ncighborng house
by the sky light ola granary. He thence descended
into the street. gentleman who was passing at
the moment on horseback recognised the General,
alghted and offered him be horse, which was &C,
cepted, and putting spurs to the animal he gained
the quarter dc 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 no particular act
Of violence had been committed since Monday.
Crowds Of curious and idle people, however, had
assembled around the two remaining trees Of lib
crty in the quarter ST. Martin, Tuesday, and,
from the feeling manifested some degree Of tumult
was apprehented. The military, therefore, re-
ceiycd orders TO clear the Streets and the spot be-
ing placed in n state Of blockade, the police cut
down those trees and burned them. Great irrita-
ton exhibited by the several groups Of people
collected in the ncghborhood; but the appearance
of 80 many soldiers completely ovcrawed them,
and they proceeded TO no acts Of outrage beyond
an occasional blow inflicted upon the surgeons de
vile. In an hour afterwards the streets were com.
petely deserted, and all fear OF riot was nj end.
Several men in blouses have been placed in custo-
dy. All officers leave Of absence have been
commanded TO return 10 their duty The arrests
on Monday and Tuesday amapnt. Il is said; to two
hundred and eighty three, AMONG which are twelve
women.
