He Reunions I'm the Metropolis.
From lie Constitutions, March IL.
The public meetings held yesterday eve
ming in the Sales Moliere and Robert, the
latter called Sale dc Ia Revolution ct du
Progres, in the Boulevard Rochechouart,
were Of very tumultuous character, and
both were dissolved by the representative
of authority. In the former, M. Sebille
presided, with NM. Amouroux and Paulet
as his assessors. NJ. Heligon spoke against
the conscription and its influence on labor
and produce. He kept continually wan
dering from his subject, Notwithstanding
tho repeated warnings of the Commissary
of Police. He argued that soldiers were
not free that in the barracks efforts were
made TO excite them to hatred against the
citizens.
"At the time Of the invasion Of Paris"
said he, "the Governor, who was called, T
believe, NJ. Joseph, had for moment the
idea Of arming the people, but he was afraid
OF the Revolution. Napoleon I. declared
that he had rather have to deal with the
Cossacks on the Don than with the Cossacks
of the Fsubourg st. Martin"
On this the Commissary Of Police gave
another warning. The President main
tanned that the speaker wes in order, and /,
repeating his words, invited him to con-
tinue. The warning produced an indie
scribable tumult. The Commissary then
rose to read the law, but not being able to
make himself heard, pronounced the disso-
luton. The clamor still continued; the
President protested against the dissolution,

then the Commissary, taking advantage Of
a momentary cessation Of the shouts, sum-
moned the assembly to dispense. NJ. Amou-
roux, one Of the assessors, began to ha-
rangue the audience; then menaces and
invectives were addressed to the Commis-
sary, who withdrew, however, without suf-
icriDg any personal outrage. The hall
was evacuated shortly after, and no dis
turbance took place outside the doors. The
President of the meeting in the Rue Roche
chcuart was NJ. Ferray, with NM. Daudet
and Bachellery for assessors. NJ. Peyrou-
ton, speaking Of the French Revolution, and
referring particularly to the night Of the
4th Of August, said
"That night was q promise Of equality
which has not yet been realized but the
day will come, and proof may be found in
the effervescence now prevalent in Paris"
A little after, he cited these words Of
Robespierre
"Kings and princes are incorrigible
there is but one way Of getting rid Of them,
and that is DEATH
A warning ensued. The President then,
addressing himself to the meeting, said that
he could only join in the language of the
speaker: so M. Peyrouton repeated his
phrase with On air of defiance. Another
warning was then rejected by the Presi-
dent, whose words seemed intended to pro-
woke hostile demonstration on the part of
the assembly. He finished his speech, how
ever, and was succeeded by NJ. Bashel-
lery
81 mean to speak," said he, Of the
Consulate and the Empire. A foreigner
had been pushed forward by the Revolu-
ton, and he ives Bonaparte. When man
pronounces that name he evokes the me-
mory Of whole tissue of crimes, assassi-
nations, and infamie5 !"
This produced O third warning. NJ. Fer
ray maintained that the speaker was quite
in order, aud obtained salvo of applause.
NJ. Bachellery protested, and said
"1f my hearers see in my words an
analogy between Napoleon /. and Napoleon
Ill, SO much the worse.'
On these words the Commissary of Police
dissolved the meeting and made the usual
requisition. The President declared the
dissolution illegal, and in the midst of the
vocifera!ions of the bystanders, of insults
vented against the representative of au-
thority. and menaces of personal assault,
announced that for this once the meeting
would retire and have recourse to legal
methods "a written protest.; but that for
the future, in presence of such dissolution,
the assembly would remain in permanence.
The Commis:ary of Police, whom many
threatened to throw into the cellar, could
only effect his retreat by the aid OF NJ. retlt,
one of the organizers of the meeting. The
cfs.yerbu,Lr of the attractions of the law
of June 6, committed at these two meet,
ings, have been transmitted to the judicial
authorities.
