wu impossible to prove that Hungarian money was used to stir up the Viennese on the Gth of October. But he confesses that four thousand florins were expended oil a Viennese paper in the Magyar interest, and in publishing docu ments and pamphlet* on Magyar eoacerni, for the information of the Viennese people; leu thousand more were spent he says, in recruit ing soldiers to march against Jellachich. Bis also cartain that the Viennese insurgents of- October, counted largely on the support of the Magyars. After the insurrection, when Win ilishgratz was preparing to bombarl the city, the Viennese Diet sent a message to the Ma gyar*. ashing them to inarch immediately. Kos suth fie*patched an answer to the rebels, an< then he crossed tin; frontier, and attache le Austrian army within « : »Ht of the walls of - He met with the success his treachery peserved; he was routed, and forced to retire Pevondahe frontier. Ilis i.itentioni are partly unmasked in his speech to the soldiers before crossing the border, Kossuth said, .(Pulzsky p. is a duty of honor to hasten to the aid of the Viennese, as they have risen in op position to the war against Hungary, If we win a battle, it will decide the fate of the Aus trian monarchy, and of all Germany.” When lie declared hi» intention of inarching to Vien- | na, “about a hundred officers, most ofthem for eigners, but likewise several Hungarians, de- j dared that, under existing circumstances, they | could no longer Berve Hungary.” (Ibid, p. 202.) They were honorable men. For the | war was, even as late as October, a civil war j between the Sclaves aud Magyars. The Diet convened by royal authority, was in session; Ferdinand was yet the acknowledged king of Hungary; even in December, when he abdi cated, the Magyera were willing to obey the young Kinperor, if ho would comply with their demands: and yet Kossuth, under these cir cumstances, led the Magyars into the country of the man whom he and they acknowledged to be their rightful sovereign llad a declaration of independence preceded the act, it might have been rebellion but it would not have been j treachery. His only enemies in the field were | the Croats; lie should have met them. So said i the more honorable portion of the Magyar army. ! (Pulzsky, p, 201.) Admitting that the Court of Vienna was disposed, in September, to aid the Croats, it was no longer able to do so in Octo ber, when Vienn > w<s in the hands of the mob, and all the imperial troops were needed in Aus iria to save it from anarchy. It was one of Kossuth's worst acts, and it is the more repre hensible, as he did not, at this time, have any overtact of Austria as an excuse for entering her territory, to hasten, as lie expressed it, the downfall of the empire, lie had nothing hut the supposed intentions of the imperial court whereon to found his suicidal resolution to march against his sovereign, not only without having issued a declaration of independence, but without even having published a declaration of war ” . . * The grant by Austria of a Constitution which merged all Hungary into Au.-tria, placed the Helaves on the same footing as the Magyars, and utterly annihilated the ancient Constitution al rights of Hungary, destroyed all hope of a MittJemen of the difficulties between Hungary and Austria, This act of the Emperor Joseph hears dale March Ml, 1*49; andatonca severed the remaining bond between Austria and Ma gyar Hungary. Up to Ibis period, the Magyars, with Kossuth at head, hoped for an arrangement with Austria, through which, by concessions, they might still retain the Helaves in depen dence. But the Constitution, treating them as rebels, with a dash of then wiped out all the “an cient constitutional rights” of Hungary, and consol dating her with the Empire of Austria, raised the Helaves to a political uud social equal ly with their masters. That the Magyars should rcsi-t this to the death, was most natural, and on the 14th of April, 1840, one month and fourteen days there after, the Magyars put forth llieir declaration of Independence of Austria. This declaration is dated at Debreczin, April J4th, 1849, and it is worthy of remark, that in no part of it does it pretend to eitub'isli a Kcpubli ean form of Government, or to give freedom to tho oppressed, or to secure liheily to the Peo ple! On the contrary, it expressly provides, that while Kossuth shall have unlimited pow ers as Dictator, the form of Government to he es tablished after securing their independence sliiill be left to a future Diet ofllungury, elected according to the ancient rights and privileges of the Hungarian nation!! That is, the Magyars wore to do as they always Imd done—govern Hungary as lliey pleased, and retain twice their number of fellow men in bondage! But this i> not all. This very declaration sustains every position we have taken; and proves that the only cause of complaint against Austria, was her refusing to aid M. Kossuth and the Magyars, in keeping in bondage, nine millions of white slaves! That there may be no doubt upon this subject, we quote from the Kossulli-Mupyar llunguriiin Declaration ui Independence. “Croatiu and Hcluvoniu were chosen to be gin this rebellion, becuuse in those countries the inhuman policy of Prince Metternich had, with a view to the" weakening of ull parties, for years cherished hatred against the Hungari an nation. By exciting in every possible man ner the most unfounded national jeilousiea, and liy employing the most disgraceful means, lie had succeeded in inflaming a party with rugu ; although the Hungarians, far from desiring to oppress the Crontiuus, allowed the most unre strained development to the provincial institu tions of Croatia, uud shared with their Croatian anil Holnvonisn brethren their political rights, even going thn length of sacrificing some of their own rights, by acknowledging special privileges and immunities in thoso dependen cies. “The Ban revolted, however, iu the name of the Emperor, and rebelled openly against the King oI Hungary, who is, however, one and the same person ; and lie went so tar as to de cree tlio separation of Croatia and Hcluvoniu from Hungary, with which they had been uni ted for eight hundred years, hs well as to incor porate them with the Austrian empire. Public opinion and undoubted facts threw the blame of these proceedings oil the Archduk.e Louis, uncle to the Emperor; ou his brother, iho Archduke Francis Charles, and especially on the consort of the last named Prince, the Arch duchess Hopliia; aud since the Ban in this act of rebellion openly alleges that lie acted ns a faithful subject of the Emperor, the ministry of Hungary requested their sovereign by n public declaration to wipe nil’ the stigma which these proceedings threw upon tiie family. At that moment affairs were not prosperous fur Austria in Italy ; the Emperor therefore did proclaim that the Ban and his associates were guilty of high treason, and of exciting t.i rebellion. But while publishing this edict, the Ban and his accomplices wore covered with favors at Court, uud supplied for their enterprise with money, arms and ammunition, 'i lie Hungarians, con fiding in the royal proclamation, and not wish ing to provoke a civil conflict, did not hunt out those prescribed traitors in their lair, and only adopted measures for checking any extension of the rebellion. But soou afterward the inhabi tants of Houth Hungary, of Servian race, were excited to rebellion by precise'y the same means. "These were also declared by the King to be rebels, but were, nevertheless, like the others, supplied with moneys, arms and amuiiition The King's commissioned officer ami civil ser vants. enlisted hands of robbers in the princi pality of Servia to strengthen the rebels, and to nid them in massacreing the peaceable Hunga rian and German inliab tanls of the llanat. The command of these rebellious bodies was further entrusted to the rebel leaders of the Croatian*." Surely, no honest, or candid mini, can road this extract without concluding at once, that wo have given u faithful history of the cause of the <**» in Hungary. The fijurtli resolution appended to tho Dec- I larntion or Independence, expressly provides that the form of government to he adopt- < ed for the future, stmt) be fixed by tho Diet of the nation.” Aud that Diet,as we have shown, consisted mostly of Magyars, and untitled no bility. Let it he borne iu mind, that of die five and a half million of Magyars.six hundred thou, sand, or nearly one fourth, are nobles ! an I ! that ill their hands was all power ; ami then the reader ean judge what would have been the re sult of of their success. And the resolution pro ceeds to say. that until a future government shall he so organised by a future Diet, “on the basis of the ancient uud received principles (there was to be no option) which have been recognised for ages, the government of the United countries, their possessions and depen deneies shall be conducted o i the personal re sponsibility, and under the obligation lo rendor an account of all his acts, by Louis Kossuth!” We ask especial attention to this extract from the famous Kossuth Declaration of Indepen dence. as going to prove beyond all cavil, every proposition we have laid down as regards the cause of war with Austria. To get rid of the force of this resolution, the Times has discovered that it is not a correct translation! We now repeat what we said a few days since, that eveu at this period, all would have j been well with Hungary, and her independence 1 of Austria triumphantly established, if Uie Magyars had been reasonable and given polili- j cal liberty and equality to the Helaves. Their 1 attachment to their father land was as great as that of tlie Magyars, who hud conquered and enslaved them ; and at any period of the struggle, the would have turned their i arms sgainst Austria if promised equal liberty after the establishment of their independence. Iu reply to this, we shall be told that it was done by fiie Diet long previously. Yes, but j conditioned upon Austria giving up all claims upon Hungary ; which being refused, we hear no more ot liberty to the Schive. but see the i Magyars humbly petitioning i|, e Emperor of Austria to aid m fixing the yoke upon them. And even in the Declaration of Independence I it is provided that fiie future government shali 1 be established “on the basis of the ancient aud received principles which have been recognised lor ages. ’ Notwithstanding this, the Helaves still petitioned for such terms as would enable them to do buttle for their country against Aus- ! tria ! and this petition as late "as the loth of June, 1*49, was thus responded to bv Casimer Bathiany m the name ot Louis Kossuth : "There are three principles which must ■ prove as a basis to any conciliation, aud in re gard to which we shall concede nothing, on any : condition whatever, for it would amount to ! committing suicide with our own hands. “Ist.

Ihe supremacy of die Magyar element acquired one thousand years ago by the armed hand, the foundation of our autonomy, and consecrated by the use of Uie Magyar asthe Di- i pioUMiic language.” This was only two month* previous to the surrender of Georgey and the flight of Kos suth : aud yet we find here that Kossuth aud bis adviseia, had no more idea of granting freedom to the Sclavonic races, or surrendering “the supremacy of the Magyar Element,” than they had when tliey humbled themselves iu the dust , at the foot of the Imperial throne, and like i cringing beggar*, entreated of its kindness to aid them in putting down fiie “Illyrian rebels !” I There was not, up to this time at least, any signs ; of repentance—any disposition even to do jus- ' lice to themselves, because they still hoped . there was a chance of their re-establishing their | aristocratic institutions and despotic power, j One month afterward*, however, when the j sword of destruction was suspended over their 1 heads, and about to fall—within twelve days of j their final overthrow, and when hope had fled | —did they pass a resolution, and proclaim pub licly “equal rights of all nationalities.” This resolution was passed and proclaimed on the 28th of July and on the 10th of August all was over, Georgey a prisoner and Kossuth a fngi- I five with the T urk. Hch'esinger, in his “War in Hungary,” vol. j | 2 p. 188, says, this “recognition of equal j 1 rights came a year too late ; for it now merely j j offered to the Sclavonic races, a concession | which had already been secured to them by the j Emperor of Austria ; an J offered it, moreover, j jin sight of their burnt down cities, dekola j ted villages, and desecrated graves. The j Magyar haughtiness, and the thirst for su- I premacy iu the Hungarian nobility, never ! suffered a deeper humiliation than from i the resolutions passed at this silting of the Diet. It was the last—the last great expiatory sin-of fering of the Representatives of the Hungarian nation, for long years of injustice to the other ‘ Races.” H. Deplies. in Review des deux Mondes. January io, I*so, has the following in relation jto this concession when all was lost—a conces \ j sion, which if made at the commencement of ; ! the struggle, would have rendered Hungary for ! ■ ever independent of Austria, almost without a contest: — “ After the first defeats of Georgy and Bern, I when the image of death under its most terrific aspects was presented from all quarters to the insurrectionary government, Kossuth, with the ministry aud the legislative assembly, began to show himself less hostile to projects of com promise. Uudcr file fear which then seized up on all minds, they agreed to make some of the concessions which the agents of die Wall-chi ins demanded. It was at Snegedin, the last asylum 1 of the fugitive government, on the 14th of i July, one inontli before the end of the war, that the minister, Kossuth, acquainted the Wallacliians with this tardy resolution. As to the demands of fiie Folcs iu favor of the Hcla vonians, generally, tjie Magyar* still hesitated ; only ut lbs last moment (July Ssilhj and when on the point of expiring ut Arad ; did they re* sign themselves to this last uud grievous sacri- I lice. Hardly had the Wallacliians lisd time to j become acquainted with the new rights which were conceded to them with so bad grace, when i already the ruiu of Hungary was consumuia, i j ted. The Servian* and the Croats heard of the i very small concession* made to them only after , the catastrophe, with the uoas of the capitu lation ut Villugos.” We come now to an author too well known to the American reader, to require tho endorse , merit of Count Pulzsky or any oue else. The amiable, eloquent, aud liberty-loving Li mar line, is one whose truth and sincerity will not he doubted by any intelligent American; aud ' i he writes as follow?; “ I do not pretend that the quarrel of a part of ilie Hungarian people (the Magyar race) against another part, (the Sclavic race,) and • that struggle of Hungary, thus divided with itself, ug*jlist Austria, was tfie least in the world a French or •van u democratic cause. 1 know perfectly well that it was nothing of tlm sort; that this was a double or triple war of a char acter quite foreign to our discussions aud our ; revolutions on tiiis side of the western world. ! It was a civil war amongst the Hungarians them selves, growing out of quarrels historical in their origin, and out of jealousies of race. It was a federal war between the Hungarians and Austrians for more or less independent con ditions of federation, or for the reconquer ng of national iferests. It is true that France and de mocracy had not an atom of their prnpi r ! cause involved in this confusion of conflicts ” Laninripp's Past, Present, and Future (Am. I ed ) p. (JO, This testimony iu regard to the character pf the Hungarian war, should he conclusive ; hut we have still more direct testimony that it was uot a Republican cause—a cause which should excite our political sympathies. Count Pnl zsky, ill superintending the Hungarian interests ill London, (ound ihat the enemies of the Ma gyars every v here circulated the idea that they were wurig for Republicanism, and that Kossuih was another Ledru llollin. This, of course, was destructive to all expectation of pe cuniary ujd in the way of loans or otherwise, from aristocratic Eiig'apd ; and in consequence, lie wrote or caused to be written Hjid published in the Examiner of May sth, 1848 —known tp he his organ—the following important para graph •• The most current misrepresentation of the llungiriaus is, that they are Republicans, and that they have proclaimed the Republic in such of the Hungarian counties as are iu their power, which now comprise almost all the Hungarian territory. This ass. rti»n is oi'tm unwarily re echoed by friends of the Hungarians, who, considering that the Uitceii of England jnnin ■ tains amicable relations with the Republic of the United Htates, with the Republic of France, mid the Republic of Switzerland, are not al together horrified at the Republican appel lation. But the real state of thn matter is, that the Hungarians nro not republicans, and that the Republic has pot been proclaimed anywhere iu Hungary. “ The Magyars fight to maintain a constitu tion which numbers more than eight centuries of duration, and to support the sanctity of a Royal word They have taken their position I upon the inviolability of ancient liberty. Al though Austrian intrigues have enused a breach of those liberties, mid striven to render of no avail the royal oath sworn solemnly to maintain them, the Hungarians have not hitherto dream ed of or proclaimed a Republic. In spite of , all their victories, it is their wish to maintain | both the Monarchy and the Dynasty. They do not desire to change the nn'ure of their in stitutions, or to rid themselves of the ruliug family." And in October, 1849, Lord Fitzvvilliam and many other peers, signed a memorial to Lord John Russell and Lord Palmerston, asking their iuterposit on for Hungary, in wh'ch they ex pressly deny that Kossuth and the Magyars louglit for Republicanism ; but place their de- i maud for interference oil the ground, that their movement was conservative and nnti-Repnbli can ! We give the following extinct from that ; memorial : | “ W bile so many of tho nations of Europe have engaged in revolutionary movements, and | have embarked iu schemes of doubtful policy, and still more doubtful success, it is gratifying to the undersigned to he able to assure your Lordships that the Hungarians demand nothing i but the recognition of aucient tights, mid the | stability and integrity of their ancient couslitu- I liou. To your lordships it cannot be un ■ known,—that that Constitution hears a striking | : family resemblance to that of our own country, j —kings, Lords and Commons are as vital puits of the Hungarian as of the British Constitut on.” j Here then, we have the secret of Kossuth’s , reception in England —a reception honorable j | alike to the English and to Kosvuth, because j consistent with the past history of the great i | Hungarian, and the aristocratical institutions of England, liberal though monarchical as we con- I cede them to he.

In Hungary there were none of those i ; propagandists who alarm so much the rulers of the Old U orld. There Were no secret socie ties plotting conspiracies.

It was a war of races at its comuieuceiueut; and in connection with this war of races, was a strug gle by Kossuth and the Magyars to sustain file 1 constitution and ihe ancient aristocratic iustilu lions of Hungary iu which they were signally ’< defeated by the Helaves and the united power I of Russia and Austria. That adversity has < made Kossuth a Republicau, and that he is now, bean and soul, at work in file cause of Repnhli 1 oanism, we do not doubt Nor can it be denied that he is as able and eloquent as he is zealous in t the new cause in which he has embarked, and 1 m which we sincerely pray for his success, while 1 we utterly repudiate the .dm of any interven tion-in behalfof Hungary by the Government of the United Htates.

The President appeared in the streets on Tues day, and was received with respect, but without enthusiasm. “Vive la Republique” was the only cry uttered by the jieople. No attempts were made to repress the expression, and the at titude of the troops was calm and firm. In one of the proclamations issued by the Pre sident it is stated that the Assembly, instead of i employing itself in taking care of the interests of the people, had only become the theatre of conspiiacies and plots against him. napoleon’s appeal to the people. Frenchmen: The present situation cannot last much longer. Each day the situation of the country become worse. The Assembly, which ought to be the firmest supporters of order, has become a theatre ot plots. The patriotism of three hundred of its members could not arrest its fatal tendencies. In place of making laws for the general interest ot the people, it was torging ; arms for civil war. It attacked the power I hold directly from the people. It encouraged i every evil passion—it destroyed the repose of j France. I; have dissolved it, and I make the l whole people judges between me and it. 1 i The constitution, as you know, had been made ; with the object of weakening, beforehand, the ! powers you entrusted to me. Six millions of ! votes were a striking protest against it, and yet i I have faithfully observed it. Provocations, ca lumnies, outrages, found me passive. But now that the fundamental part is no longer respected by those who incessantly invoke it, and the men who have already destroyed two monarchies wish to tie up my hands in order to overthrow the Republic. My duty is to battle their pel lid ious project, to maintain the Republic and to save the country by appealing to the solemn judgement of the only sovereign I recognize in France. “The People.” I then make a loyal appeal to the entire nation, and I say to you, if . you wish to continue this state of disquietude and malaise that degrades you and endangeis the j future, choose another person in my place; for I ’ no longer wish for a place which is powerless | for good, but which makes me responsible! for ; acts that I cannot hinder, and chains me to the helm, when I see the vessel rushing on the ; j abyss. If, on the contrary, you have still con- 1 fidence in me, give me means of accomplishing 1 the grand mission I hold from jou. That mis sion consists in closing the[era of revolution, in satisfying the legitimate wants of the people, and in protecting them against subversive ]>as sions. It consists especially to create institu- I tions which survive men, and which are the foundation on which something durable is based. ; Persuaded that the instability of power—that 1 the preponderance of a single assembly—one of ' the permanent causes of trouble and discord—l submit to your suffrages the fundamental basis ; of a constitution, which the assemblies will de- 1 ! velope hereafter. 1.

A second assembly, form- I ed of all the illustrious persons of the nation. A 1 prepondering power, guardian of the fundamen tal pact and of public liberty. This system, created by the first Consul in the : beginning of the present century, has already given to France repose and prosperity. It guar antees them still. Such is my profound convic tion. If you partake of it, declare so by your suffrages.

Thus, then, for the first I time since 1840, you will vote with complete : knowledge of the fact, aud knowing for whom and for what you vote. If Ido not obtain the majority of the votes, I will summon a new as- i sembly and lay down before it the mission I j have received from you. But if you believe that the cause,of which my ! name is the symbol—that is, France, regenerated by the revolution of "89, and organized by the Emperor, is still yours, proclaim it to be so. ratifying the powers I demand of you. Then France and Europe will be preserved from an archy, obstacles will be removed, rivalries will have disappeared—for all will respect in the will , of the people the decree of Providence.

The Cambria reached Liverpool at 9 o’clock on the morning of Monday, Dec Stb. The Baltic left Liverpool about 12o'clock on tbe loth inst. For tbe first three days, she had fair weather, but for the balance of the voyage she hail continued gales and a heavy head sea. Ihe Baltic passed the Atlantic on the 11th of December, and the Humboldt on the 18th. . She brings CO passengers. Supple & C0..0f London, have failed, for what amount is not accurately know. The threatened bombardment of Tangiers by the French fleet had been avoided, by an amica ble adjustment of tbe difficulties. I France.—-The condition ol affairs in this coun try had continued to absorb the public attention throughout the whole of Europe. | It is now definitely ascertained that Louis Na poleon has proved completely successful in his j c °up d’etat. Partial attempts at resistance had j been made by the ultia republicans, but they had been promptly repressed and extinguished, i l* l the Departments the resistance was confined I exclusively to the extreme republicans, who had been repulsed with the same rigor used to wards their brethren in Paris. It may be said in the President’s language, that France has accepted tbe proposal he has made her, hut not with that entnusiasm which i Louis Napoleon calculated upon. The acuui ; escence of the people has been universal, but tacit. The opponents of the President preferred the plan which he has proposed to the alterna | tives of anarchy or legitimacy. Very few per sons can be found who sympathise with the Assembly, or who deny that the President was forced by the continued intrigues of that body to choose between a surrender of his power, office and liberty, and the more resolute course j which he adopted. 1 he English and French papers are filled com pletely with French news. The Chronicle says that the news, when carefully sifted, seems to exhibit completeness rather than qualified char acter. Monday’s Moniteur contains the President’s Proclamation, in which he says:— i Frenchmen! disturbances are apprehended, ! but whatever may be the decision of the people, society is saved. The first pari of my task has be#n accomplished. My appeal to the nation for the purpose of terminating the struggles of par ties, I knew would not cause a serious risk to public tranquility. Why should the people have risen against me.' If I do not any longer possess your confidence, if your ideas are changed, there is no occasion to make precious blood flow. It will be sufficient to place an adverse vote in the electoral urn, and I shall always respect the de cision of the people. 1 shall always respect the decision of the nation, but until the nation has spoken I shall not hesitate at any sacrifice to baffle the attempts of factions. Marshal Soult died on the 26th ult., in the S2d | year of his age. England. —Theaffa’rs of France continue to excite great attention in England. The question of Custom Reform was being warmly agitated, the disgraceful conduct of the Board of Customs in the late disputes with the Dock Company being the immediate incentive. Sir Robert Peel had been squabbling with the farmers of Tamworth. They have forbidden him to pass over their lands, and he lias adver tised his whole stud for sale. The English press are beginning a crusade against tbe Times, for its dishonesty and its abuse of its ; contemporaries. In some of the large provincial towns associations are forming not to read, pjrchasc, or advertise in tho Times.

Gate Os Good Hove.—Tho news from the Cape of Good Hope continues te excite greiß anxiety ip England. Ihe position of tho British forces, nmj oven of the local government itself seemed to be • eomo daily more critical.

Live it tool, Dec. 10.— Cotton. —Since the depar ture of the steamer Europa, the demand for Cotton has sensibly declined. The sales, up to last evening were 13,000 bales, of which 1,500 bales were to specu lators and exporters.

Money Market.—The money markot at London had experienced a slight and momentary contraction on the first account of the revolution in Paris, but the only results which were observable were in tho stock market. There a severe depression occurred and considerable fluctuation followed. At tbe last dates a reaotion had established prices.

Arrival of the Steamer Hermann. New York, Dec. 23.—The steamer Hermann arrived off Sandy Hook a| eight o'clock last night, but did not come up on account of tho thick weath i er. She brings 63 passengers. For twelve days she experienced tremendous gales and encountered*three hurricanes, of four hours duration, during which ho j lost some of her sails. On the 21st, at 4 o’clock, P. M., she passed a Collins steamer, supposed to be, the Arctic. The Hermann's advices are anticipated , by the Europa. DETAILS BY THE EUROPA. The Revolution in France. Although we published yesterday a variety of | news by the steamer Europa, (together with la | ter advices by the Baltic,) relating to the French ! j Revolution, we find in our files, which have ! | since reached us, much that is interesting and j | important touching the coup d'etat of Louis j I Napoleon. The President, it appears, on the night of Monday, the first of December, wrote ‘ail affec j donate letter’to his ministers telling them he did not wish to involve them in the responsibility j of what he was about to do, and advising them i jto resign, which they did immediately, The | occupation of the Assembly by the military, and the dispersion and capture of the members, are i thus related. “Towards six in the morning, several agents j , of the police force presented themselves at the j same time at the several points of the Palais | j Bourbon, occupied by the questors. M. Baze i | and General Lefto were arrested. The Colo- j nelofone of the regiments which occupied the : Assembly had signified to General Lefto that he j was charged provisionally with the Guard of | the palace. Neither M. Dupin, the President, i or M. de Parat, the third questor were molest j ed. “At half past 11, about 100 representatives I were met in the Salle d«s Conferences. A i I commander of gendarmerie mobile came to or- ; der them to evacuate immediately all tie de- j pendencies of the palace. Whilst the comman- j , der went into the passage, some representatives | penetrated into the hall where the sittings are held. Neither the President nor any of the I Secretaries were at the bureau. The troops then arrived, and the hall was cleared. Ihe great body of conservative members then re paired to the house of M. Daru. Two or three companies of the line soon arrived to disperse them. The commander of the troops announ ced to the members of the meeting that be had received orders to allow them to leave the place of meeting in full liberty, but if they should at tempt to assemble iu any other place they would expose themselves to arrest. “Jl.de Falloux, who formed partofthe meet ing, eudeai ored to sound the dispositions of the troops, and addressing the soldiers, said: ‘I do not believe that representatives have anything to fear from the army. Isituottiue that none of yon would dare to arrest us?” The com mander immediately, with a bow of the great est politeness, said: 'Gentlemen, yon have only to make the experiment—you have only to endeavor to resist. We should act with the greatest respect but we should do our duty.’ On receiving this peremtory reply, the repre sentatives retired in great agitation. It was re solved that an attempt should be made to enter the Legislative Palace, and between 11 and 13 o’clock about 4<» of the partj went for that pur pose. They were turned back, and one of them in offering resistance, was, it is said,slight ly wounded. ° “At n later period, information having been received that the Alairie of the 10th arroudisse ment was at their dispo al, and an offer having been made ol the protection of a portion ofttie national guards of that legion, about 200 repre sentatives went thither and entered into discus sion. Among them were MM. Daru, tho vice president; Grimault aud Molin, Secretaries : De I,arcy, Berryer, Dufaure, Ac. At this meet ing several decrees were resolved upon, and amongst them was one declaring the President of the Republic deprived of his authority, nod another, appointing General Oudinot command er-in-chief. in the uame of the Assembly, of the army of Paris, and of the National Guard. “M. Berryer, wearing a tricolor scarf, appear ed at a window to harrangue the crowd on the outside, and announce the decisions that had been come to He was, however, very unfa vorably received, and the cry of “Vive PAs semblee,” got up by the National Guards, was very faintly echoed. Whilst this was going on, tbe Alairie whs surmounted by a large force of ! the Chasseurs de Vincennes, and a chef dc bat- I taillon entered the room where the members were assembled, and desired them to disperse. ! They refused, and thereupon were conducted betweeua double line of chasseurs to the cat al ; ry barracks of the Quai d’Orsay. General Oudinot, General Lauriston, MM. Berryer, Pis- I catory, Chapot, de Talbouet, and Victor Lelrunc j were among the number arrested.” M. Dupiu attempted iu vain to get up a meet ing of the representatives at his house, aud fail ing in this, lie signed a protest against the proceedings of Louis Napoleon. About two hundred deputies assembled at the Alairie of the 10th arrondissement, which is very socialist. General Lauriston turned out the ltlth Legion of National Guards to protect them, but Gen-rul Alagnau seuta strong force of Chasseuts to surround the Mairie. The National Guardssho ted “Vive PAssemblee," but the cry had a very slight echo in the crowd. Gen. Changarnier and several members of the Assembly, who were arrested, were all cou : veyed to Vincennes. Gen Lamoriciere and At. Thiers were among these. At the moment of his arrest. GeiieraljChaugaruier harangued the troops sent to take him ; but the soldiers ie fused to listen to him and his voice was drown ed in the noise of drums. General Cavaignac was arrested, as were also the following mem bers of the Assembly : Charras, Roger du Nord, Bedeau, Lefto, Buune, Greppo, Baze, Aliot, Nadaud aud Valentin. Among these are setteral names of the Mouutaiu. The whole Board of the Assembly is said to have been arrested. Charras is said to have killed one of the men who attempted to arrest him. M. Mallac, former chef de cabinet of Ouch- I atel, was arrested. Several offices of papers have been occupied by the military. Among these are the National, Opinion, Publique, Mes sager, Republiqite, Ordre, and Avenemenl, which papers are suspended. A letter dated Paris, Tuesday, Dee. 2, says: The President is making, at this moment, the round of the principal quarters of Paris, Gen eral Roquet, his aid-de camp, has just ridden, at a walk, along the Boulevards, with two or three orderlies. He is received with deafening cheers | of “Vive la Rcpitblique !” All the avenues of the Lesislative Palace are beset with troops. A line of infantry extends from tile Port Royale along the Qua! D’Orsay. The cavalry occupies the Place de la Concorde I as far as the Hoad Point, the Quai Billy, and the ! bridge. Ine boulevards and streets generally are at this hour, 3 p m., crowded with people. The President is removed from the Elysee to the Tuileries. The entrance to the gardens is, of course, inaccessible. The Carrousal is full of troops and cannon. At about eleven o’clock an attempt was made by about forty members of the Assembly to forc-3 their way to the Legislative Palace, hilt they were all turned back. One hundred and eighty representatives of the Right, with Berryer at their head, have been arrested in the Alairie of the 10th arrondissc ment. Some of the members of the Left, as sembled at Cremieux’s house, have been arrest ed als«. Al. Alichi'l (de Bottrges) harraitgited the peo ple in the Boulevard. His reception was a mix ed one and lie has since been arrested. At six o’clock four French regiments entered Paris. Two of them were Carabineers devo ted tp the President The Boulevards were uext cleared aud camion were sent to the fau bourgs, At four o'clock, Louis Napoleon re viewed a division of tbe army. He was eiitlni si-islically received by the troops, and well re ceived by the people on the Boulevards. Gen eral Lauriston’s 10th Legion of National Guards has been dissolved. The Moniteur Constitutionci, Doha's and As semble, appeared on the morning of the 3d oil a half sheet. None others appeared. All the evening papers, except the Patrie, (he AJqnitutr du Soir and the Gazette de "France, were sup pressed. fin the evening of the 2d, the crowds had in creased so much on the Boulevard Bonne Nouvelle, that the authorities thought proper to interfere, and with a view to clear this great thoroughfare, a charge with drawn swords, was made by a considerable body ofsergens de villc. No resistance was offered, and the crowd dis? persed without any serious accident. The b ill of the Assembly, culled the Salle de Carton, whore the representatives held their sit tings, no longer exists. Yesterday morning an olficier de paix, followed by a considerable number of workmen, went to the place, and proceeded to demolish it. The name of Leon Faucher appears iu the Administrative Commission appointed by Louis Bonaparte. He wrote a letter to the President, declining, on the ground that he had never ye( belied the principles of liberty or his uevotbd ness to order, and he could hot now do it. After the dissolution of the High Court of Justice by an order of tho Prefect of Pol ce, the night of the 2d of December passed off quietly. Paris, Wednesday Evening, Dec 3d. Loss of Life on the Barricades —Throe barri cades were erected to day iu the Reu du Fuu hurg St. Antoine The Alontagnurd Alphonse Esquitos mounted one barricade and harrungued the people. It is said that he was shot at and wounded. It is added that two soldiers were shot by tho people who defended the first barri cade. The barricades were a'l carried with great vigor by the soldiers. It is stated that Buudiii was killed and Madler* de Alontjau wounded at a barraieade, Som j of the deputies who were confined yes terday at the harrieks of the Quai d’Orsai were removed in the evening to the fort of Mont Valerien. Several of them, among whom ire MM. Broglie, Dufaure, and Flavigny, have, however, been set at liberty. This morning at an early h«ur the Boule vards wen occupied by military, from the Porte St. Alaitin to the Place de Bastille. Colonel Charras, representative of the Moun tain, who received a dangerous wound at the time of his arrest, is said to have ex pired at 3 o’clock to day A placard, signed by the ex-representatives Vilet, Chapot, Moulin, and others, declaring the President desposed from his functions, in virtue of the (JBlh article ot the constitution and calling upon the soldiers and people to deny him obe dience, was posted up this moruiug, but torn down immediately by the police. The ■■■• orkmg faubourgs present to-day a much more sinister and menacing aspect than yester day. Accordingly they have been occupied sinee the morning with strong bodies of ciiirais sers with artillery. The streets in the lauhoii'gs St. Antoine aud St. Dennis were at half-past two i densely crowded with workmen, who shouted j incessantly “Vive la Republiqite,” which is still used as a rallying sign of hostility to the govern ineut. Throughout Paris, in fact, the working classes are evidently unfavorable to the late pro j ceedings. In the Rue S’. Denis, and other democratic quarters, a placard was posted during the night, j which; alter leading oil' with “Vive la Repub lique! Vive la suffrage universe!! Vive la j Constitution!” went on to pioclaim Louis Na poleon a traitor to the State, who had forfeited his powers. This was signed with the name of | Victor Hugo and ethers, probably without au i thority As fast as it was torn down by the sergens de villc, it reappeared again in some | other quarter. Another placard, effaced with ! equal zeal by the police, called upon the people to rally together against usurpation. Immense numbers of arrests have taken place to day in consequence of the more aggressive : attitude of the lower classes, who do not seem ! to give Louis Napoleon credit for the least sin j cerity. They say that, having once broken his | oath, he deserves no further reliance, and seem j not to trouble their heads in the least about the force exercised upon his will ty the violent al- | ternative in which he was placed. There are at this moment more than 100,0 .0 ! troops in Paris, including the finest regiments of cavalry in the service. General Tartas, commanding the brigade of cavalry of Versailles, came to Paris yesterday : afternoon, at the head of two regiments of car- j bineers. This brigade of cavalry went along j the boulevards as far as the Quar ier St. Alart n. At the entrance of the faubourg some groups, i evidently with a hostille intention, raised a cry ! of “Vive la Repubiique!" to which the two regi- ! ments replied by a unanimous cry of “Vive la ! Napoleon.” A decree has been just posted up, prohibibit ing all meetings, assemblages aud groups, ail seditious cries, ell public reading in the streets, and all posting up of bills. The circular, in which the Minister of War calls upon the generals of corps to take the votes j of the soldiers in 48 hours, affirmatively or neg- j atively. upon the question of delegating to Louis Napolean the powers he requires, is one of tbe most important facts of this revolution The first and most objectionable feature iutbis proceeding is tiiat the circular exacts a pub icity for the vote ; of the soldiers, which is not required for that of the private citizens. Victor Hugo's house has been invaded by sol diers, and searched by the police. He is con- I concealed, and up to the present time his hiding place has cot been discovered. The shops along the Boulevards, eastward of j the Boulevard des Italiens, have been closed since three. Beyond the Boulevard Nauveiie ail circulation is stopped by tbe troops. Great numbers of arrests have been made in the following way. The principal streets are cleared by cavalry ; the people naturally take refuse in the by streets; but hete sergens de vilie lie in wait, and when three or four enter i the shop together, pounce on them. Address of Ou French Elides to their Countrymen. The following proclamation has been sent to i Paris, from England, by the French refugees whose names are subscribed to it: To the People. —Wilt yon be debased ? Will you be enslaved ? Will you become henceforth an object of eternal contempt and ridicule to the oppressed people who awaited their deliv erance at your hands ? Louis Bonaparte has just crowded into a sow hours more crimes than it would have been thought possible to include in the life of man. Like a thief, he has seized upon the liberties of his country by a nocturnal surprise—a vulgar artifice, which certain people have bscn rash enough to call courage. He has audaciously trifled with the sanctity of the domestic hearth. 1 By the help of his swaggering soldiery and pnliece, he has silenced every voice in Paris except his own. Atone blow he has suppress ed all the journals, and has ca» forth into the streets of Pans, without bread, those of your ! brethren whom the press supported. He lias outraged, stricken down and trampled under foot the national representation, not only in the person of your enemies, but also in 'that of Greppo, the energetic and loyal representative of the workmen of Lyons; and in that of Nudaud the mason, who has so often and so nobly defended your interests in tlie tribune. Do you want to have a a master ? And do you wish that tint master should be Lonis Bonaparte ? Yon have* seen the air with which he traversed the streets of Paris, hedged in by soldiers, e.overed by cannon, and causing him self to be borne in triumph by hisstaff; adding | *° ’fi® crime ol high treason the insolence of | a conqueror, and treating France ns a conquer jed country—he whose military annuls can boast of nothing except the opprobium of the Ro man expedition! That the members of the majority are expin ; ting the ill which they have done ; lirat the con i stitution which they have violated in you is violated in them ; that they are undergoing the chastisement through that universal suffrage which they have destroyed; that they who have made a portion of France pass under the yoke in the state of siege, now feel upon themselves the full weight of the slate of siege; that they who have sanctioned the transportation of our brethren eu masse, and without judgment, now find force where they sought justice—is a les-ott not more hard than merited. It is the pouaily ■ ot retribution which is inflicted ou them, and it is not for us to complain. But what it concerns us to understand now is, whether you aro iu a mcod for a change of ! tyrants ? For does this crime belong to that Assssmblv of which he was the itispirer and accomplice ' Was it not he who, by iiis ministers, proposed and passed the odious law of May, against which lie now rises op, I ecause the candidature of f Joinvi'le has made him afrt id ? Is not lie, still more than the Assembly, charged with the rc ; sponsibility of having drowned the Italian re public in the blood if tho Romans, mingled with that of the French soldiers ? Among so many shameful and liberticido measures, let one be mentioned, a single one, which did not exhibit Louis Napoleon acting iu ! concert with the Assembly. As soon ns his ambition was threatened by tlie Assembly, he became the enemy of that body. But forget not that hu lias been in ac complice, so long as it acted to oppress von. He now comes forward to tell you that tho people is sovereign i and at tlie same time he dares to demand ten years ol* power that is, tho abdication of tiiat sovereginiy tor ten years. 3 - j He se ts himself up as the man of the republic —of that republic which is the government of equality, and at the same lime be proposes the establishment of a senate—that ig, an assembly of dukes, counts, barons, aud'marquises.— Lome, let us hasten, debased and clownish as |we are—let qs hasten, in virtue of our sove ’ reignty, once more to install nil aristocracy, after u many battles fought, and so mull) blood shed, to put down that aristocracy for ever. It is the man of the republic that invites us. Ho boasts of restoring to you universal suf frage, baton condition tiiat it be worked for his private advantage, and not for yours; since lie is going for ten years to he your master. “No scrutiny of the list,” lie says. Do you quite understand what lie means? It means that the elections are to he made by registers lodged in tlie offices of the mayor. The great swin dling maiKßUvre whip)) lias been practised upon France once iu her history, is to ho renewed. Will you permit, precisely when it is pretended to restore yaur right, that it shall be filched from you ? Moreover-, to exercise tlie right of tlie suf frage, you must be free. Let him begin, by restori"g free spceclt to tlie journals; let tlie doors be flung wide open to popular meetings ; let every titan speak his mind, and learn that of Olliers. W’hy iliose bayonets ? Why those caution ? To restore universal suffrage with tlie estate of siege, is to add mopkefy to false hood. A people praelaimad sovereign, is the uiumlp of slavery which is thrown over your i shoulders, even as tlie Barbarian chief, in the time of tlie Lower Empire, tluevv the purple over tlie Roman emperors in placing them ! among his ramp followers. Do you wish to be enslaved? Do wish to he debased? Such is the cry wrung from us by an indigua tion impossible to restrain.

A rumor tiiat twenty-five millions francs had been taken from out tlie Bank of Franco had been contradicted by the Governor of tlie Bank. The Belgian papers had been prohibited from entering Fra- ce. English papers are ad mitted. Tlie Prefect of Police had ordered searches, and made arrests on a large seule. At the very latest moment, previous to the sailing of the Baltic, all was quiet iu Paris. Louis Blaucc was arrested immediately on landing iu France. Two correspondents of English papers had been ordered to leave the country, Sixty-five towns hud sent in their adhesion to the president. Gen Cavaignac is lodged in the same room of the Fortress of Ham which Louis Napoleon formerly occupied himself. The Barricades. —Tlie following detatils of the military operations on Thursday, are given by Galignam’s Alessenger; “ Up to ten o’clock oil Thursday morning, the aspect of Paris was perfectly calm. At about twelve o’clock it wag generally re ported that barricades had been erected at the Porte St. Dennis, and Porte St. Martin, rues Baubnurg, Transonian, St. Alary, and St. Mar- i | tin. '1 liis rumor was subsequently found to be quite correct. The alarm now beca ie so great that uot only in the neighborhood ol’ the dis turbed district, hut in other parts of the boule vards, tlie rue Richelieu, the rue Vivienne, and \ all that part of Paris, the tradesmen closed their shops. ■ It appears that during tlie night an attempt j had boeri made to excite the people by a repe \ tition of the proceeding which produced such | serious results in February in 1848. About 190 ! men, en blouse, commanded by several chiefs I of sections, and preceded by two torches, para ! raded two corpses, of which they had become possessed after the carrying of the barricades : which had been erected in tlie Faubourg St ; Antoine and the Rue St. Marguerite, went through the rues Grenetal, Buabourg, and Tran | snonam, shouting “atix artnes !” A few deter mined se.gines de vilie attacked this party, and! carried off the dead bodies to the Morgue! ! Speculating on this scene of horrors, the rioters became more numerous and proceeded to man | four barricades which they had formed in this i quart er They were attacked by some detach ments of the division of General Levasseur, and carried in afew moments. Several insurgents were killed, and about sis- : ty chiefs of sections and men in blouses were arrested. Three other barricades were aban doned at midnight by tlie insurgents. On | Thursday morning, at an early hour, the prefect of police having been informed tiiat 120 monte I guard ex-reprcsentatives had met during the I night, and drawn up a manifesto, took success ful means to prevent its being posted up. The first barricades in the Rue Baubourg and Transnonain, were carried at twelve o'clock. The troops after the victory showed great clem ency owards the insurgents, instead of shooting them Al one o’clock, the insurrection had evident- 1 iy made much progress. The insurgents ap peared to be entirely masters of the quarter St. Denis and St. Martin. The houses forming the angle of these two boulevards were taken possesion of by a great number of men armed with muskets and swords, many of which had been obtained by rubbing tbe shops of ar morers. In tbe Rues St. Denis and St. Martip several insurgents entered the houses, and threw out of the windows articles of furniture | to assist in forming barricades. There was great stupor in the whole of the quarter until the ar- j rival of the r Chasseurs de Vincennes and some ! regiments of the line, who in a few lnoim nts | carried the barricades, and gave no quar er of the insurgents. At half-past four ts e troops were masters of the whole of the ground which had been occupied by the insurgents, and the j wounded were carried away to the hospital). The troops began to move down the boulc- I vards towards the Porte St. Denis about one o'clock, and, tbe necessary measures being ta ken for sn attack, the advance was nude about two, on tiie large barricade there erected; more resistance was made than was expected, lut at ?Oot the troops obtained possess!ou of this first and greatest obstacle, and wher t, in fact, tlie insurgents bad concentrated their principle for- | ces. The action here was ait exceedingly sharp one, and jt was even found necessary to batter 1 down tbe barricade with cannon. The inside of the barricade, when the troops entered, was found covered with corpses and wounded men. The insurgents who escaped fell back on the barricades near the Porte Bt. Maitin. Here, after the ground had been cleared away near the Porte St Denis for the passage of troop*, another aeries of attacks took placo hy the troops on the four barricades which had been erected across the boulevards. Tho insurgents had here taken possession of several of the booses at each side, from which they p" pared to lire on the troops. When the attacK took place it was found necessary to send bodies o. ; engineers into tlieao bouses to dislodge tho in su gents. The resistance hero was uot by any means a vigorous one, aud the troops success ively. and without much trouble, took possess ion of the various barricades on the boulevards. Friday. —All the barricades made during the night were carried rapidly. The armed insur gents were shot on tho spot or taken to tho Ecole tuilitarie, to fce tried by court martial. Af ter their condemnation, they were immediately taken into the Champ de Mars, and shot. The number is said to he very great. Several oftheni were well-known Socialist chiefs. In many parts es Paris, yesterday, where the iusurgeus were caught breaking into houses, they were made to go on their knees, and were shot on the spot. At the shop of a milk-dealer, four were shot in this way. The irritation of the troops oil the boulevards, when tired upon from three or four -jof the houses, was very great. They returned the fire en masse, and many persons in the crowd were killed. There must have been at least twenty or thirty shot oil the boulevards. At nine o’clock at night four dead bodies, were still lying on the steps of the Theatre des Varieties. M. Victor Hugo is a member of a Council of Resistance of Five, and directed the operations of the in surgents yesterday at La Chapellc, one of the faubourgs- There were eight barricades, and for several hours no troops, blit at about nine o’clock they were all carried by 608 troops of the line. Victor Hugo was uot taken. A war rant for his arrest was out three days ago, but hehus been hiding about, and co’uld not he found 11 is family, knowing what a dangerous, wicked, and foolish part he was playing, were anxious for his arrest on Tuesday, as the only menus of saving him. About 10,000 liesh troops arrived to-day and altogether we have now, it is said, about 12,000 men. All the Boulevard* are occupied, so arc the quais, hut the troops behave exceedingly well aud carriages are allowed to pass. The operations to-day have consisted chiefly in dis pel sing and arresting insurgents and carrying barricades. There was little resistance on any point, and at about four o’clock it was said that all danger was at an end.” The correspondent of the Morning Chronicle, writing on Saturday even ng, says—“ There were several barricades made in the course of the night, but they were abandoned this morn jng, and no attempt was made to-day to make any additional ones. From another account yve gather tho follow ing; The persons who in the early part of Thurs day entered the Case de Paris and tired upon the. troops, received no quarter; every man found in lie house was killed. Notwithstanding the assurances of tho gov ernment. it is calculated that at least a dozen of the departments are in a state of siege. The carriage of the courier of the British embassy was stopped on Thursday evening to form a barricade; the courier was allowed to proceed on foot. It was rumored that shots were fired from Tortom’s colfeo house upon troops, an lit was immediately attacked by the soldiery. The same plea was urged for attacking M. t'allan drouze’s ciupet manufactory, which vus rid dled with caution, end at least thirty of the workmen killed. The large barrier at tiio Port St. Denis was ! not taken till after two hours’ hard fighting and I the loss of fifty to a hundred lives. At the Port I St Martin,some hundreds of dead and wound ed were found behind the barricade, and among | the number was !,t Col Loboatt. On the right hand towards the Porto .St. Denis I the houses and windows are completely smashed by i cannonball. Some of the houses in the boulevard are of modern construction, with terraces in front ; those wore occupied by the insurgents ns early as twelve o clock, and from them a murderous fire was directed upon the troops, 'f hroo artillerymen were shot down at their guns, and rendered furious by the loss of thoir comrades, the guns wore loaded with halt, and four pioces of artillery continued to play upon them incessantly fur more than an hour, lhc walls were perforated through and through, and tuo windows in tho opposite side completely dostroyod, owing to tho roverborntion. Tho show er of grapowasas thick as hail, and it is bolioved that not a man esenpod. Whonovor a shot was fired from a house, artil lery- (loaded with grape) was brought to boar upon the devoted building, and tho soldiers, in their hurry and excitement, did not always soloct tho right liouso. In many instanooa tho cannon were levelled point blank, and fired within thirty yards of tho houso, and this accounts for tho terrible exe cution, | One account gives the loss of tho insurgents at between 800 and 1.000, and that of tho troops at about HiOO ; but it is evidently impossible to arrive at anything liko certainty at present. Kmissarics, said to liavo como from London and Switzerland, liavo been arrested, and it is said that tho Govern ment are in possession of documents of the great est importance, placing beyond a doubt tho exist ence ot a formidable plot against tho President, which was to have broken out in tho course of the week; and it was only on tho roeeipt of this infor mation that ho resolved upon taking tho initiative, anil stealing a march upon the Assembly. Paris, Deo. B.—The' following proclamation is addressed by Louis Napoleon to tho French people, j ll Frenchmen—Disturbances have disappeared, j Whatever be the decision of tho people, society is saved. Tho first part of my task is accomplished. | Tho appoal to tho nation to terminate tho struggles [ of parties occasioned, I know, no soriuus risk to public tranquility. Why should tho pcoplo rise J against mo ‘ ft J liavo not your confidence, if ! your ideas are changed, there is no necessity to shed precious blood ; you huvo only to deposit in the urn a contrary vote. I always respect tho decision »f the nation ; but, till tho nation has spoken, I shall not hesitate at any sacrifice tu bufilc the attempts of tho factious. The task, besides, is now become easy. On one hand, it has boon soon how mad it was to contend against an army ui ited and disciplined, animated by honor and patriotism ; on tho other, tho tran quil attitude of tiio people of Paris, tho reproba tion with which they stigmatised tho insurrection, show for whom tho capital pronounced. In tho populous quarters, whore formerly tho insurrection recruited itself so quickly among tho workmen, easy of seduction, anarchy now oneountored only tho greatest repugnance for its detcstablo excite ments. Tlmnks—for such a change is duo to the intelligent and patriotic population of Paris. Let them bo convinced more and moro that my only ambition is to securo the repose and prosperity of Franco. Let tho [ample of Paris continue to aid tho authorities, and the country will soon bo able to perform in calmness, tho solemn act which is to inaugurate a new era for tho republic.” All tho small posts which wero withdrawn at tho commencement of the insurrection, to prevent tho mon from being surprised and deprived of their anus, have been replaced. This shows that tho Government feels perfectly confident as to the main tenance of tho tranquility that has been re-estab lished. In the nights ut Saturday and yestorday, strong patrols of cavalry and infantry, however, paraded many of the streets, hourly all tho shops in different parts of the town woro re-opened on Saturday. At most of tho theatres there were per formances ; last night they were all open. Ail the Law Courts held sittings on Saturday, as usual. The gardens of tho Tuillerics and of tho Palais Royal, and tho Court-yard of the Louvre, have again been thrown open to tho public. For tho last three days all tho principal scenes of tho insurrection, and especially tin Boulevards, have been visited by largo crowds of curious ; at some | moments the Boulevards were so thronged with pedestrians and vehicles, that it was not easy to obtain a passage. Tho artillery vote for President stood 2441 fi)r Louis Napoleon, and 4.'J against. TURKEY. Constantinople, Kor. 20.—During tho last ten days, tho Christian public of this capital has been in a state ot excitement about tin Jerusalem ques tion, which has grown of a nature calculated to disturb the harmony existing hot*ocu tho French government and the Sublime Porte. In order to increase tiio importance of the question, wild and extravagant reports are diligently circulated by the friends of Russia. It would appear that tho friendly relations between the two governments aro on the evo of being interrupted. But until the re ception of instructions from Paris, nothing positive can take place. In the meantime, M. Lavalctte refuses to recognize tho interference of Russiu on the subject, insisting that if that [saver has any objections or op[K>sition to make, it can do so freely at Paris. NAPLES. Kopies, No-e. 21.—An order has been Issued from the war office for a new conscription of 19,1)00 men, which will bring the Neapolitan army up to the enormous number of 108,000. Before 1848, 40,000 men were sufficient for the Two Sicilies ; now we have nearly 40,000 in Sicily alone.

Boris, Monday evening. —A Socialist insurrcc tion ha 3 placed Clamaey in the occupation of 5,090 j of the factious ; but the military force now moving on the place, supported by a numerous artillery, will soon suppress the disturbances there, as well is at Capcsian and Beziers. The accounts from the other departments are ge nerally favorable.
