Inere nau Deen some oppoSiton NJ Oriedhs lSahtes,
and one or two other places, but it was put down
promptly by the joint action of the national guard
and the troops of the line. The whole of the
gendarmerie mobile, the pompiers and several reg-
ments of the garrison of Paris, have already voted
for Louis Napoleon Victor Hugo, Emile Girardin,
and the whole of the Left have denounced the Pre-
sdent as have also Louis Blanc and the prOscrits in
London. Ledru Rollin is said to be already in
Paris. Two ex-representatives were killed in the
skirmsh at the barbados Only thirty-nine Of the
eighty persons named by Louis Napoleon as mem
bers Of the Council Of State, Consultative Council,
have yet accepted the nomination. About two hun
bred of the Conservative members of the late Cham
Der have signed the following strong protest against

Decree of the National assembly.

Whereas art SO Of the constitution enacts as follows:
The President and his Ministers each responsible for
the acts Of the Government and any by which
the President of the Republic shall dissolve prorogue
the National Assembly place obstacle to the exer

very act the President fofeits his authority and every

The Assembly, therefore, since it is hinderedby violence
from accomplishing its mission DEGREES:
Considering that Louis Napoleon Bonaparte has violated
his oaths and the constitution, and employed the public
force to consummate this crime

official cognzance Of the violence offered by the President

That the 6sth article of the constitution points
every citizen the duty he has to fulfil.

letter to the President of the Republic:
II "PARIs, DECEMBER 3, 1851
Il IN. PRESIDENT: 1t is with establishment mingled
with pain, that see my inserted amongst those of
the members Of administrative commission which you
have just constituted did not think had given you
the right to do me such injury The services which
have rendered to you believing rendered them to the
country authorize perhaps to expect from you diff
erent returns my character in every instance merited
more respect You know that in my career already long,
have neither belied the principles of liberty my de-
yotedness to order have never participated directly
indirectly, in the violation Of the laws; and refus
ing the mission you confer me, have only to
Der that which held from the people, and which still
hold.
Please to accept M lie President the expression Of my
/ respect. LEON FAUcHER"
+ THREE O'clock -The Times says that Louis
Napoleon is President of the new Council of State,
and M. Baroche Vice President. Attempts at in
surrection had been promptly queled at Drayen, ST.
Amand and Nevars. The accounts from the De-
Epartments were in general satisfactory.
There is no doubt that sanguinary struggle took
place in the streets of Paris yesterday, but par
ticulars have yet reached this city The second ed
ton Of the Morning Chronicle says that at six last
evening fighting was going on in the streets of
Paris, and would probably not end that night" 1t
is also said that General Castellane, at Lyons, and
the Government and that great doubts are enter
tanned Of the fidelity Of General Magnan. Stras-
bourg and Rheims are also said to have risen.
The third edition of the Chronicle says: g The in
surrection in Paris is spreading every moment. The
Minister at War has ordered all persons taken with
arms in their hands to be instantly shot"
We believe that the following is the latest news
from Paris Should any later arrive, it will be for
warded to Liverpool by telegraph, and reach you by
Tie steamer winch Will leave tnaJ place IOr new
i ork at twelve, noon, tomorrow:
nHALF-pAsr SIx-The Government denies all the sin
lister reports in circulation The Minister Of the Interior
declares that the from the Departments which has
reached the Government is in general satisfactory and
that at Lyons after moment of establishment and
hesitation the whole place accepted the acts Of the Gov
| eminent.
:" The system the President has announced, Of taking
the opinion Of the people, has given great offence, and
has turned many peaceable people against him. is i'm
possible that the affair be settled tonight.
"P. Sat the present moment the firing has ceased
The insurgents have been driven back in several quarters
turning to their quarters. The affair is however not
over, and win certainly be renewed in the morning"
| The death of Marshal SoULT, at the advanced age
of eghty-two, closes, we believe, the career Of Ma
poeons great military chieftains; he was born in
| 1862 the same year which gave birth to his own
great captain and to the great military opponent of
them both, the Duke of Wellington, who looks
hearty enough to live through another generation.
Marshal Soult died on the 26th ultimo He had
lived retired since 1872 at his seat at ST. Armand in
the enjoyment of boundless fame ard ample for
tune.
We have very little news from any other portion
of Continental Europe. The intelligence from Paris
had caused great excitement at Berlin. The bust
ness of the Assembly was interrupted, and the
Ministers withdrew to hold Cabinet Council The
