results of this arrest which | really believe no
constitutional government could have avoided,
have been some excitement last night, and a
rise--or, TO speak more correctly, "very great
nrmness'-on the Bourse at its closing this day.

concerned know nothing that has happened,

to-day and without affectation may say that /
have applied for information TO every source,
from the highest to the lowest and the conclu-

last evening-that Is to say, in the environs of
Paris-on the edge of q precipice, and that
we escaped from it and got home safe.
No two people really agree even as to
what they saw with their own eyes; and Mt
least one gnnmaker's shop broken into and
plundered was no more broken into than my
bedroom. The mob did certainly steal revolvers;
but, as | said yesterday would be the case, they
could not find cartridges to fit them-chargcd
cartridges at least. Tonight, or not for months,
perhaps years, an effort will be made in France
TO bring about the ruin of order and the de-
struction of private property and trade. If ii is
postponed, why then the revolutionists are
utterly absurd, as hope they are, and will so
continue.
The rioters who went up the Faubourr assem-
bled in the Rue de rOrillon, and made there =
barriCade with the materials brought together
for the construction of church. They held
their ground till half-past o'clock. They were
then three times summoned to retire, and the
baTricade was taken by the Garde Municipale
A pistol was fired, and ut the second summons
q man broke the gun OF quartermaster with a
single blow of an iron bar. Another barricade,
constructed of night-carts, at the corner of the
Rue st. Maur was taken ut the same time, no
resistance being made.
band of five hundred insurgents burst into
the Place du Chateau dEu, about 10 o'clock,
crying out-'A bas les assassins !" "A bas pEm-

Rochefort!" and also threatened to march to
the MdrseiIdise office, were also dis
persed by the police; and man who carried
red flag at the head of the troop was arrested
About midnight the shop of NJ. LefaucheuX
was sacked. Two hundred revolyers and
twelve hundred cartridges were seized. The in
surgents were dislodged by the Garde de Paris.
One hundred and thrty-siX persons in all have
been arrested, many of whom carried revolvers
and cartridges. The revolt seems to have been
hatched in the office of the Mdrseildise, the
centre of action of the entire movement. The
persons arrested are confined in the Concierge
rie, and are now undergoing interrogation by
the Commissaries dc Police.
Some of the writer's in the MdrSeildise were
arrested last night, or rather this morning. on
leaving their office; but the paper was sold as
usual on the boulevards fifty centimes being
charged for it instead of fifteen. 1t contains
nothing particular, however, except short
account of Rochefort's arrest, and a bold def
ance of the Government. To give you some
idea of the suddenness of the movement last
night may mention that, up to midnight, no
body had heard even of the arrest of NJ Roche
fort, and the boulevards from the Porte st.
Martin to the Madeleine, wore their usual bright
and careless aspect Correspondence London
