FERMENT AMONG THE PARIS WoRKMEN.-
The Paris correspondent of the London Star,
June l, says 1.-THE stupefaction produced by
the announcement of the sudden peace still
relgns, to outward appearance, in Paris; but,
in the interior of the dteherS, particularly the
printing offices, the agitation which began yes
terday still exists. Not the smallest idea of
emeute has entered into the brain of even the
most sacred aarmists in the place; but never
thelesS, much uneaSiness is evinced by the
paIrons or employers of the workmen, in con-
sequence Of the unusual animation existing
among them There can be no doubt that by
some recret utilization, a correspondence is
kept up between the secret societies of the
south of Europe and those which exist in
Paris. The most vigilant police has never
been able to discover the means of communi.
cation. Petra could tell us, if he choSes as
he openly ayows his connection with more
than one.
"That the return of the Emperor will be
made the subject of some sort of demonstra-
ton on the part of the Faubourgs there can be
no donbt and the greatest care is already be-
ing taken lest any outward sign of the inward
discomfort be suffered to escape. Meanwhile,
the well-diSposed and sensible part of the COM
munity-the shopkeepers and manufacturers
are buslly exciting themselves to display to
those under their charge all the advantages to
be gained by this opportune pacifcation, and,
above all, the wise cessation of that bloodshed
which must sooner or later bring curse upon
the people by whom it is inflicted far great
er than that incurred by its unhappy vic
tim. 1t must be owned that of late in Par

more open to persuasion, much more easy
to lead, than formerly. The grim geaddrme

ing to the transportation to Cayenne of such
vast masses of the most violent; but the bour-
geols who has dealings with the workmen of
Paris knows that on the contrary, these trans
portations had excited the most violent passions
in those left behind, but that the greater gen
tlenesS and desire to arrive at a reasonable end
by reasonable means is entirely due to the
greater cultivation of their chiefs and to their
mixing with an entirely different class of soci-
ETY. at this moment to that to which they were
wholly confined before the last revolution"
Another letter says =
''The consequences of this peace are not all
peaceful-far from it. The atelierS of Paris
were all astir with the bare news of the armis-
uce What will be said at the positive cessa-
tan of hostities What will be sung when
the Emperor returns on Saturday | have
just seen the master of an iron foundry of the
Faubourg st. Denis, who expresses his disqui-
etude as to the manner in which his workmen
mean to employ the holiday they have one and
all asked for on Thursday. They are Repub-
licans en- diaJte, said the honest man, and
know they have formed party to go to the
woods Of Vincennes.'"
cas- for the Piedmontese, they are not much
satisfied with the course affairs are taking.
The story that the initiative came from them is
apocryphal They did sent paiementaire for
an exchange of prisoners, but nothing was
mooted on that occasion about an armistice. 1t
would, indeed, have been strange if they had
been the means of bringing about denouement
which they must be the last to desire. Of
course, it cannot be supposed that Austria will
be willing to purchase peace, however necessa-
ry it may be to her, at the expense of all her
Italian dominions, when Lolnbardy only is ac-
tually lost and Venice is still intact On the
other hand the Sardinans, by accepting a
peace with the Mincio or Adige as frontier,
would place themselves in a false position 1t
would look as if they had undertaken the war
merely with the view Of acquiring Lombardy
They would lose their character as the cham
pons of Italian independence, and appear in a
false light"
