matter in hand:
Persigny, Morny Magnan and Msupss, were
the other chiefs Of the conspracy-al OF the stamp
of St. Arnaud Like him, they demanded and received
huge rev ards in places and plumber for shedding
their innocent couDtrymen's blood. Like him they
had found it convenient 10 appropriate TO them
selves names and titles TO which they have no claim
Persiany was an alias, Fislin being the real name;
Morny and Msupss the true sppellations Of the
Minister Of the Interior and the Project Of Police,
fourishing as De Morny and De Msupss; Msgnsn,
the commander Of the troops in Paris was the only
one who stuck to his name-no, that twas an hon
ored one for be- ike St. Arnsud had been accused of
swindlng and otherwise acting UNANIMOUSLY. These
we're the chief journeymen-murderers. They strlk-
ingly resembled their employer. Like master, like
man. Az 10 the head-butche who bore the name
of Louis Napoleon Bonaparte, if We may credit
the popular belief at the place Of bis birth, the
court scandal at that period and the evidence Of
the Likeness which bis stOlid, brutal cOuntenance
bears to that Of bis mothers prime favOrite, the
Dutch Admiral Verbeul, that parsonage aud not
King Louis Bonsparte of Holland may claim tie
paternity hecaptsl, then, upon which he trades
bis legitimate Napoleonic right Of succession TO the
Imperial scepter Of Francis perhaps, like all
the rest Of his claims, beggary sham.
The plans of the conspira'Ors being matured-
tier mu1derous work began. On the night Of
the Let of December 1-52 France at peace with
the world TRANQUILITY slept. Before dawn, the horse
Of every leading Republican was invaded by 8
band of armed rufians, its doors broken open, its
owner dragged from his bed and hurled into a dun
QeOn In few hours the prisons were gOrged
with patriots thus instantly surprised, gagged and
nanacled by these organized bands Of burglars and
assassins. At the point Of the bayOnet the Ma
tional Assembly was next dispersed, aud all resist
ing members imprisoned.
For day the nation was paralyzed, supplied,
at the extent and Of the organized yilsny.
Then some thousands Of bold spirits in Paris and
the departments, who valued not life without
liberty few TO arms but everywhere the usurp-
er's disciplined cut-throats over matched then
The mass of the people gave no aid. They did
not sympathise with the Assembly, and cared not
for its dissolution. They had risen in lSi@, and
fought desperately for the Republic Eleven
thousand were then wounded and slain in the
streets of Paris. The of factions in the
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS, Bonapartists, Legtimists-
had CON bned, formed majority outnumbering the
Republicans, played into the hands Of Louis Bona
parte by passing laws depriying the people Of
arms, and, thus overreaching themselves, had com
passed their own downfall, and changed into
enemies the friends who with arms in their hands
could have successfully upheld their authority
against the arts and bayonets Of the usurper
To the infinite impudence mendacity and infamy
of these assassins, as displayed in their Proclama
tons after the Coup Etat, history hardly records
an equivalent. On this 1st of December-when
Louis Napoleons constitutional term OF service be-
ing about to expire, and the people able 10 elect
successor peacefully, as they already had him, were
tranqui-and when consequently no insurrectiOn by
the Assembly or the nation contemplated,
although every observer knew that the whole ener-
gies of the man had been given TO the object of
betraying his country and perpetuatng his dynasty
did he thus like thief in the night commit bur-
glaIy, murder and high-treasOn. OF course the
people sought TO arrest him, and accordingly We
find on the Sd and 4th of December the Minister Of
War, (St. Arnaud,) and the Project OF Police,
(Maupas,) calling these patriotic inhabitants of
Paris thieves, and, in terms such as the following
ordering their soldiers TO murder them-tO murder
not only the heroes of the barricades, but all
persons, however peaceful, whose business or
curiosity tempted them into the streets-tO murder

"fHE PREFECT OF POLICE, DE MAUPAs"
Louis Napoleon and ST. Arnsud were disap-
pointed at finding only few thousand in arms to
oppose their OOOO disciplined troops. They
wanted more victms--enough to freeze the ma
tons heart with terror. As it appeared the mass
of the people of Paris did not fight, the order was
given on the 4th December 70 shoot down all seen
in the streets in groups, and to cannOndade and de
stroy a number OF houses along the Boulevards
Sixty thousand drunken soldiers bivouacked there,
and, hourly piled with liquor, obeyed the order
