The Paris correspondent of the New York
World, writing on the 10th inst, says:
There were disturbances OH Monday night,
caused entirely by the police. The yard in which
the printing office of LIE Rappel IL situated was
early thrOnged by dense crowd, impatient to
hear the result OF the elections, which they
made sure was to announce Nj. Rochefort's g
victory. AS return after reur came IN, each
extineuishing still more his chances, the crowd
became irritated, and urOn the cheer being
raised by M. Jules Favre's friends. general me-
lee ensued between the adherentstft the re spect-
i've candidates. The police stupidity interfered,
and in that brutal way which dlsgraces tho
French police. The manner of this interf fer
ence, oven moro than the interference itself
raised passions to a high pitch, and the dis
turbances spread from the yard TO the neigh
boring boulevard, which was densely throng-
ed. There was great excitement III the

many people Of the lower classes who, during
the canvass, have been paid by the radical can

NIaRT SCENE ON THE BOULEVARD.
From the Paris Figaro1
From the Rue Lafitte the Boulevards pre-
open, with the exception OF the Richie and the
Grand Balloon, which only let out their custom
ers, but refused to admit any. The routes OF
the oinnbusses had bean changed after eight
late. but were not permitted to take places on
the stanis. Our cab was stopped q little be-
yond the Rue Montmartre, where the Boule-
ward was barred BY detachment Of municipal
guards, on horseback and on foot. The former
occupied the roadway, and the latter the foot
pavement on eaca side. That force, preceded
by drums which beat the usual summons to
disperse. drove the mob back towards the
Porte Saint Denis. The appearance of the
Boulevards at that moment was most singular;
the troops stopped, and the vehicles which
were following naturally did the same; then q
roll OF drums was heard, and the soldier again
advanced preceding long procession Of cabs
and carriages, and accompanied by the CRIES OF
the crowd. which, after escaping by the lateral
streets, returned and formed again u mass be-
hind the municipal troops. On arriving at the
Polnt-de-Fer, as there remained no one behind
the soldiers, the officer commanding suddenly
then the carriages were Obliged to turn back
