ago by New York paper. We have been upon
the brink of new abyss-on the eve Of witnessing
another revolution. plot had been formed by q
gang of men and women to make cannons with gas
pipes, in order to form barricades, and return
the attacks Of the army. These consprators of a
new kind had assembled in an old house in the Rue
do la Refine Blanche, and when tho police had in
vaded the premises, they were all, men and women,
busily engaged in covering these cast iron pipes
with cloth aud tar, in order to make them ire
sistble to explosion. Bullets and cannon balls Of
al kinds were in readiness to begin the battle and
e'neute; but no powder was yet prepared to load
these cannons of "pstriotio" invention. AS 3
matter Of course, Ledru Rollin, Maxziui, Louis
Blanc, and other leaders Of tho red republican
party, now exilss in London, were tho chief in
spirators of that new eoee de bo,oas Of the dema-
gogues. The first impression made upon the public
by the extraordinary article of In Patr,e was an
establishment impossible to describe; but it had no
influence ON the stocks, and this caused the most
cunning people to doubt the veracty ef this mo-
mentous plot. On the next day, the MoaiteSv was
silent, and the Consttt,tisnnti mentioning tho
arrest Of some individuals, could not refrain from
saying that their contemporary had in their opinion,
much exaggerated the Importance of this affair.
Alas this was but the first kick, and on Sunday
morning the MoMienr came off with u short but
neat and well written article, in which the would-be
plot OF La Patrte was almost considered as canard.
This was the utmost blow ever given by friend to
one Of his friends, and this wound will bleed for q
long time to come, in the ribs of Mr. Deanlarre or
rather Of Mr.. Schiller, his chief reporter, who
thought he had discovered la pie au mid. As mat
ter OF course, this affair has created much fun in all
the political circles, and the conspiracy Of La Parie
is now called: La conspisatiosl des tuyaur (gas
pipe conspiracy This epithet will live in the
annals Of Louis Napoleons Presidency for the year
1852.
Something which is still moro important, is the
sentence which has just been delivered by tho mill
tary court Of Montpelier, against the rioters of
Bedarieux, who, it will be remembered, were the
most violent socialists during the provincial nsur-
recton of 1851, in December last. The judges have
Six among them had fed, and were only sem
tenced by contumacy; but eleven will be be-
headed in the public square Of Bedareux.
Five other men among, the rioters have
been sentenced to the galleys for life; four to
deportation and imprisonment in a fort, for
exile, and of twenty nine people who guilty Of
the instruction against the government, only two
have been set Free 1t is said that very likely Louis
Napole0n's cemency will be bestowed on many Of
those who are sentenced to death. Nevertheless,
the news of this terrible condemnation has made a
deep impression among the political circles, and it
has astonished those who had even nothing to do
with the affair.
Before closing my mentioning Of the acts of seve-
rity of Louis Napoleon's government, l will speak
ofthe unexpected suspension Of the journal Lie Cor
Sore, which publication has been stopped for two
months. No cause whatever, but the sentence in
hicted upon the paper on the oath of May last and
the personal attack certain friends Of the Eysee,
has been the cause Of that violent blow given to the
press in general by thus injurng the proprietor Of
lie C0sdir. The entire corps Of reporters of that
journal have addressed letter to their contempt
raries Of the press, which has been published, and
announces its re- appearance at the end Of the two
months.
Gahgnanfs Messenger has not been excepted from
the coersive and restraining measures of the drec-
tion of the press 1t appears that several articles
not being. signed, the Minister of Police has
bestowed his advertisement Mr.. Bowes and
friends. Then Mr.. Galgnani beware!
The correspondent of the Gazette de Cologne, a

The Council Of State will be closed the 10th OF
August, and its vacation will last from that epoch
TO the 18th Of October. The first act made by the
Council of State will be to prepare the project Of
budget for 1854, with the help Of the ministers.
1t is said that the intention Of Louis Napoleon is
TO obtain from the Senate law by which the men,
bers OF the House would not be allowed to speak
freely and give their opinions either for against

ment. Whenever project of law would be sub
mitted to the Legislative Corps. there would be
named three reporters, who would form an opinion
upon it. make written consultation, and submit it
to the vote of the House. Thus the discussions and
rebukes which have lately taken place during the de-
bates relative to the budget, would no more occur,

try to be elected in one of the departments, which
has no representative in the Legislative corps.

leon looks well, and does not seem to be crushed
down. In the meantime he is. twice week, pre-
siding in his Council of Ministers and giving din

composed of twenty-four men, and 600 pounds of

Much talk is entertained here about the train de

Emperor Napoleon, will be restored; aud Count Bac-
