was planted in front of 4 certain

As the salutes continued, the boy

in other cities; but the necessity of
this step only proves the more con.
clusively that the se',isious elements
are not general, but local. Again
it is evident that the old standing
army Of France is not inclined to
have anything to do with the insur.
rection, and as it comes back from
Germany it will effectualIy reinforce
the cause Of public order. Thirdly,
even in Paris the insurgents do not
appear to have made any Roadway,
while, as will be seen by our dis.
patches, there are signs of serious
discussions among themselves. 1t
