they rang the bell a, No. 3 Rue du Fouboure
ST. Honore, where the general lived. The
porter asked who was there, and being toll
to open the door for some one who want,
ed to speak TO him, he became suspicion.
and refused 10 do so. The commissary
then marched into grocer's shop mex
door, from which he rightly guessed there
must be communication with Gen. Chan.
garn'er's apartment. 10 an imperious tone
he demanded the key, which was Instantly
given TO him.
Followed by several Of his men, he pro-
ceeded to the Generals room, snatched the
keys from the servant whom he me. upon
the staircase, and rushed towards the Gene.
RAILS bedroom. Gen. Changarnier by this
time knew The designs of the intruders. He
appeared al the door of his bedroom in his
shirt, with pistol in each hand. The com.
missary said, "What are you going to do
general? We are not attempting your life;
why should you defend il ?" ChanparnieI
then gave up his pistols, saying, 81 am a,
your service; lie, me dress myself" He
begged that his servant, with whom he could
not dispense, might not be separated from
him. This favor was granted. On his way
to prison, he said, ''The Presiden. was sure
Of his reelection. He needed not have re-
course 10 coup d'etat; he is giving himself
much useless trouble" He afterwards adj
ded, "When the President shall have for
e'gn war, he will be glad to seek for me to
give me the command Of all army"
NJ. de Cassagnac gives the names Of the
commissaries Of police charged with those
several acts, and partcularises The manner
in which the arrests were effected. All the
generals, it appears, were found quietly a.
sleep in their beds. Abiding to The arrest
of Gen. Cavaignac, NJ. Granier de Cassag-
nae says 1.-THE arrest Of Gen. Cavaignac
was neither long nor difficult. M. Collin
the commissary of police, having entered
the house in which the general resided, No.
II Rue du Helder, had the following con-
versalion with the porter" In what part of
the house does Gen. Cavai gnac live ?" "He
is not at home," said The porter. 81 know
that he is al home, and must see him. ''He
is not-at any rate he is asleep-you come
too early ; his lodgings is on the entIesol."
The commlssary went up, knocked and rang
at the door, and inquired for the general
A female voice replied tina. The general was
no, at home. The commissary rang the
bell again, and female voice exclaims,
"who is THEREOF The commissary called
in the name of the law, for the door TO be
opened. The general replied, 81 will no.
open it," The commissary said, General,
if you do not open the door will break j.
open.'
The general then opened it, and the com
missary, having entered, said, General, you
are my prisoner resistance would be USE
less, for all my measures are taken. ! have
orders 10 arrest you, in virtue Of a warrsn,
which will read 10 YOU'D The general
would not hear the warrant read and, be-
coming greatly exaspera.cd, abused the com
missary, who advised him TO be moderate
The general, then, looking s.ernly at the
commissary, said, "Wha,! you arrest me
-wha, is your name?' The commissary
replied, 81 shall no. conceal it, but this is
not the time you must dress yourself and
follow me-" The general then became more
calm, and said, well, sir, am ready to fol-
low you; all ask is for time TO dress nv
self; lei your attendants withdraw" He
then asked permission 10 write, and this
was granted. When the general was ready,
he SAID TO the commissary, "Now lie, US Sc,
out; but ask favor that ! may proceed
to my destination with you alone" The
request was complied with. On their way
the general appeared in deep thought, and
only spoke once, which was TO ask if he
alone had been arrested, and where he was
going. The commissary said he could no,
reply 10 the first question, but he was GO
ing TO the prison Mazas.
When the commissary of police entered
the bedroom of M Theirs, in the Place ST..
George, n. Theirs, was asleep. The police
man drew the curtains, woke M. Theirs, and
slated his functions and warrant. M. Theirs
sa. up hastily, rubbed his eyes, and said,
son wha. account - The policeman re-
piled, 81 am come to make search at your
house; bu. do no. be alarmed, no harm will
be done to you your life is in no dsnger.'
This last assurance appeared necessary, for
NJ. Theirs was in gres, CONSERVATION. "Bu,

point; ] must execute my orders.' "But
what you do may bring you to The scaffold.'
IN o.hing shall prevent the ful6lmen. of nv

making" 81 cannot answer your observa-
lions; pray you 10 get up" "Do you
know if ! am the only one in the same pre-
dicameni; are any Of my colleagues in the
same case ?" IL do not know, sir" M.
Theirs got up, and slowly dressed himself,
refusing the services of the agents of police.
He all at once said to the commissary-
"But, sir, suppose should blow GU, your
brains :" 81 do not think you would be
guilty Of such an act, NJ. Theirs but in my
