main yet year two i'll Paris. But trifing apart,
verify think that the proper by which to de-
signate the events upon the Bouleyards Of Paris on
the afternoon of the 4th December is act3fa and az,
famous massacre! WE'LL it has had its effect There
IS not in the capital that dares say, in voice
above whisper, /" Eipe Ia RepuJHqaeP" There is
not that daYes protest against the despotism
that has seized and is now tightening its grasp upon
France!
The Conaitaioaae1 has just made some interest
ing revelations touching the conspiracy of the ma
Jonty of the Assembly, of which the questors bill
and the bill on tunctonary responsibility the
lnitiatory act, and which so summarily defeated
by the coap detat of the I'd instant The following
extract furnishes curious supplement to the history
of that event:
Il is not necessary for say that the Of the
political conspiracy in the Assembly Ii had been
formed by the blindness of party spirit the cruel lesson
OF 1913 was forgotten it proceeded in the faults
and incurred much more terrible punishment As
the act Of December I'd place arrests were made
and examinations directed towards the questure The
questors were arrested, and their papers, particularly
those of NJ Baze were seized The seizure of these pa
pers rendered evident the existence of plot In fact all
the DEGREES relative to direct reqason ready there
were seized not only the minutes but all the copies and
other documents necessary be given the proper

papers, nevertheless bore the presidential seal The first
Decree that which conded generalin chief COM

q Such the two DEGREES found at the house of
questor There only two copies of the first appoint
ing the Generan-Chief probably intended for the
General to be named and the other for the Noae. AS
to the second, which to have been communicated to
the chiefs of divisions five copies already been made
and they all in the hands of the authorities. 1t is
clear that every thing held in readiness for the event.
and the vote alone waited for Although the Assem-
bly, had at its disposal ample number of employees it
not willing to trust their activity after the VOTE
but wished to have every thing ready beforehand The
only thing have been afterwards done would have been
to have filled up the left in blank The DEGREES
would therefore have been notified in the proper quarters
in the twinkling of eye Was not all this preparation
for coup de main 1t is, besides important remark
with what extension it intended the right of
direct requsition The decree required less than the
whole of the army and the National Guard of the first
military division that to say, that soldier of
National Guard should left to the President of the Re-
public Was this evee en- aSse intended to defend the
Assembly to attack the President of the Republic Is
there man of common to whom this question
be matter of doubt? But this is not ALL The quesure
become regular military headquarters Documents
there seized which not generally found except
with chiefs of the army in the offices of the Minister of
War The questure had its lists Of troops it had the
and addresses of all the commanding officers of
corps stationed in Paris We will add that of these
lists the of all the officers of the tenth legion
Apparently that legion reckoned than any
other 1t is in fact the territory and at the Marie of
that legion that the representatives endeavored to hold
sitting They relied its cooperation but they
deceived. Such the most important documents seized
at the residence of the questors Of the Assembly"
Most of the representatives who were arrested at
the moment of the coup Fetat, or subsequently,
have been set at liberty 1t is only the most violent
Republican and Democratic members, and some Of
the most iatractd6te 0reanists and Legtimsts that
are still kept in eonfnement-about forty in all.
These, with the exception of some ten or twelve
generals and members of the most note, who
guarded in the fortress of Ham, have been trans
ferred to the prison of Ste. Pelagie, in Paris.
Girardin, of the Presse, never has been arrested
but he has renowned all connexion with that paper,
and is selling off his furniture with the view of
abandoning France for season, until freedom of
discussion shall be restored to the press Upon this
condition he will remain, | apprehend, long time
absent from France. All the Republican editors of
the Presse have followed Girardin in his retirement
and that journal is now decidedly Bonapartist. The
same may be said of the Pays, with which Lamar
tine has, by short letter published in the Constt-
tutoanel dissolved all connection from and after the
I'd December Poor Lamartine he must be sadly
chagrined and discounted upon beholding the all
trusting all-believing optimism which he has so
persistngly INDUCED in during the last four years
with regard to the Republic, and to the character
and intentions of Bonaparte, brought to sudden
and disastrous conclusion. Theirs has been dis
charged and ordered promptly to leave France. He
has sought refuge in England. He will not be
laughed at now, as he was year ago, when he de-
clared in full Assembly, " Iempire est fat ~
The report has been prevalent during the week
that Gen. Cavaignac had given in his adhesion to
the Dictator, been discharged from prison, and had
gone to Holland. No one believed the story of his
adhesion yet Government, in a truly imperially
conceived note, dictated by Nj. dc Morny, Minister
of the Interior formally denied it. The fact of his
discharge generally credited till last evening
The truth IS however, that he still remains IN the
fortress of Ham. Madame Oder and her daughter,
to whom the General is afhanced, have taken up
their abode in the vicinity of the prison, IN order to
be and have the privilege of occasionally visit
