mentioned in my last the efforts that were being
made by the leaders OF that reddest Of republics
which has declared itself pe,naaaessce at Belle
vile and yillette, 30 drive their followers to frenzy
by false reports. The character OF these proceed
ings may be judged from this one statement which
lndustriously circulated among the dIsafected.
Forming part Of the force ordered TO reinforce the
garrison of Paris the F0rty-dfth regiment OF the
line marched IN from the west, and proceeded, with
the usual accompaniment OF drumming and fling
through the streets forming the most direct route
10 the Palais de rlndustre, where it is now quar-.
tered This innocent proceeding was made The peg
on which to hang report that the regiment was
but the advanced guard OF the Army OF the Lore,
who were bringing the Comte de Paris in triumph

unlikely reports spread and gain credence. They form
the topic, flrst Of the louugers and business men,
who throng the bouievarls cafes and the Bourse;
thence, IN magniGed proportions, they are conveyed
home to madame, and speedily become the property

recount the wonarous news to every one in the
quarter. 1t Is not surprising therefore, under these
circumstances, and under the combined influence of
rumors Of an orleanlst reaction AMI threatened

familiar, does not that are again enjoy lpg the
