The French President has received letters
warning him to be on his guard against assas-
sirs but he pays little if any attention to them.
His friends consider that he exposes himself too
much.
1t is impossible to gain any clear knowledge
of the actual state of the French provinces The
government use every means to suppress all in
tegence unfavorable to the usurr ration.
journalist has the following remarks:
"Louis Napoleon permits the world to know
only Just as much ms it suits himself and his
creatures to tell. The French press is extinguish
ed, at least for the present. public meetings are
pronounced reasonable; and while foreign
Journals are prohibited, the correspondents of the
LONDON papers are obliged to put up with such
intelligence as the police may choose to com
municate if they write more or less, their par
cels are stopped, and them elves threatened with
expulsion"
Notwithstanding the precautions which have
been used to prevent the transmission Of intelli-
gence from the disturbed DISTRICTS we have been
able to learn the following particulars, which
show that France is by no meaps what the gov
ernment organs represent her to be-"perfectly
tranquil"
All the country papers are stopped at the post
office, and extracts favorable to the government
e selected by government agent, and sent to
the three or four papers still published in Paris.
AS far as is known, the following appears to be
the result:
For the first five days after the news of the
revolution reached Lyons, there was serious un-
easiness. strong display of troops prevented
an actual outbreak. At Bordeaux, great nun,
Der of persons had been arrested. At Toulouse
an attempt at an insurrection was made, but it
faield. A protest against the coup d etat, signed
! by about fifty persons, was published, and those
who signed have been arrested.
"The Aller has been the theatre of fresh
| troubles. An attempt at riot was made at
Moulin. sixteen persons having been arrested
"At Agcn troop Of 1000 peasants marched
on the place. but were unable to make any i'm
preston, the National Guard having assembled
and repused them"
| Marseilles, December THE news received
to-day from the adjacent departments is most
unsa isfaetory In the Var, the insurgents
greatly increase in numbers, and have estab-
lished species of provisional government. The
mail coach yesterday was stopped on entering
the department, the dispatches opened, and all
those intended for the government detained.
The travellers were treated with urbapty. Pre-.
vious to the departure Of the mail, the conductor
received pass with the seal of the marie, which
permitted him to traverse the whole revoted dis
trct without further moestation. The con-
ductor says that al the high roads are overrun
with welI-arm. men, and that he was informed
that the insurgents, whose numbers he imagined
to exceed 5000, intend marching on Draguignan,
the principal town. 1t appears that whenever
the insurgents undertake an expedition they
place at their head the clergy and rich propretors,
with musketsi in their hands, aud threaten to shoot
them, unless they stand firm on approaching the
troops, and instantly FIRE on them.
Greal Movements in the Alps.-The High and
Low Alps are, if possible, in far worse posi-
ton than the Var. The insurgents here num-
Der, at least, 10000 armed men. They already
possess Manesque, Valensolle, Riez, Forcal-
quier, and other places, and in all probability, at
the present hour, they are in possession of
Digne, the capital of the lower Alps. Yester-
day, about 5000 Of the insurgents were en-
camped at Estoublon, from whence they intend
marching on Digne; about 800 men left Man.

The inhabitants Of the Alps are hardy race
of mountaineers-veryh headstrong and should
they take to .uerilla warfare, it will be very diff
fcult to subdne them.
Tlriumphs Of The Socidlisfs.-The department
of Vaucluse is, in some parts of it, in state of
great agitation. Five hundred socialists got

and allow no one to leave the city without an
authorization from the new mayor. II is diff

able city. Beneath my window the socialists
are drinking from Lipe of wine, singing revo-
lutonary songs, and uttering the most infamous
threats. They are laying down their plans for
pil'age and rapine.
The commune of Bedarine, in the Vauclusc, is
in the hands of the socialists, who have organ
lied committee of public safety. Troops are
