THE DEFEM ES OF IMUIS.
Tl o downfall <-f Napoleon and lit 1
fr. aties of 1815 !i ft France utterly dr
feiicelrpp. Fully awn>v that they «'riv

lions did not trouble themßidvrs ah.nit |
repairing the ruined Mini "holds of the
o.i unt rv. True enough, ini 818 a corn min
► ion of ilofoiico was formed by Mnrsb:*'
St. I’vr, then Minister of' War, vvhi. h in I
IS2I reported a plan for the strengthen
ing of the defensive t laces of France, t
and this report was followed in 1825 t»\ j
another, from the Committee on i‘ orti- !
ficalioes. Nothing was clone, Imwi ver, j
rind for eleven years this imp riant
matter was allowed to rest. Hut. Jii j
IS3C>, afte r tl o P.ourhons had been ex
j rt’ed nrd their c n-ins of the' Oilcans 1
family had n-ccnded the throne, Marshal j
MaisAn, t'e fen Minister ol W ar, organ
izoil anew commission and charged it
with the dii'v of examining ti e reports j
r,f IS2I and 1525 and of submitting a
definite opinion, Iy means of wh.rh *f c
porerenient eou’d aet intelligent;;.
This eemmissioi alter carefully oo s del
ing 1 1m r* putts, drew up a pnj el <■( j
law, which was nccepteil hy the gov ,
ernmci.t and stibniUb and to the f ..anthers, i
A 1 Alt TO FJEUFY I’ATIS.
One of the nest impailant clauses in
the law ordering the construct! n ami
repair off rliesses was that granting a
sum of 1 tOjCOO.OOOf, for eiftistrncting a
double fil eol ills nee around the capi
tal. Although M. Thieis had raised a
great war alarm ill 18 id, there was
then no pr sped or probability of an
enemy inarel.ing on l’aris. i lie fact
was in his desire to have the lortific;-
tions censtmcted arosefiom the atlitn !e j
of the Parisians towards the gown j
merit. Keptil lieans aid B nnpurtists
had coalesced aga list the I'll lag dy nas
ty. fn August of the same y< ar (1840)
L' ldg Napoleon had tnarle It e nitempt
at Hi ulegne and tin ngh lie faiad aid '
was captured, it was seen that he had
the sympathy of the mats of the people.
To fortify I’avis against the l’arismns
was the real object of M. Tliicts, ami iio
pressed the law with such vigor that on
the 25th of June, 1841, it was pa si and
by the Chambers. Singular as it tnay
seen) Paris had never b cn regularly
fortified. The Itcvnliilioiiary Directory
had entevtainod some idea of having
waits constructed, and nils qu l ntly
Nnpeleen himself gave the siiLdect so
;iors consideration. *1 he vicli ry at
Vidrry sand the Directory t e m-cssity
< fdi ti ruling the capital, and the wars ol
NapoVen well'all aggressive excepting
in 1814 and IXIS. In both these years,
m th" approach of the allied armies, de
fensive works were lint r tally thrown np,
but though they enabh '1 the dtlei dors
to resist the progress of the enemy for a
brief while they wcio entirely inade
quate to the wants of the city.
FI.AX OF THE Frr.THTCATI I.VS.
Ti e plan agreed njvoii hy the commis
sion is rv hat was ad-pled ly the gov
ernment and carried oat. It provided
far ad able line of defences, the inti
ri'T to n.iisi-t if a continuous eiiclosute
(rncriidt: coiilim re) and the outer line of
a seiies of detatehed fort I*, 1 *, e;ieli com
; Icte if itself, indi pendent of the other,
and yet also nrrangt and as to nff rd each
oti» r the amplest assistance in the event
of an attack. Their fires sweeping each
ether, it is necessary for an enemy to
pass between them before he can attack
lie inner walls, whose gnus also sweep
the i pi ii space between the forts.
TIIF tS'XKIt LINT.
The inner line of works consists of a
series of has!ions whieli present ninety
four angular fronts Ihe line is rreg
ular, through ti e 1! is ih; Vinci lines on
the southwest. It is twenty two miles
in circumference, and is probably tie
longest Coritinnons line of bastiin.s ii
woili.l. The wall, which forms a part o!
the bastions, is also terraced and has an
iscaipmerit if thirty-fur feet, faced
with masonry. Each of the angular lo
ci s(i bastions) has a medium lengt :
of 1,100 feet. In front of the whole and
entirely surrounding the city is aeon
tinned fosse, or line of wot ditches, lined
with masonry and of a depth < f cight"en
fell by a width if twenty hot b roni
the bottom of these ditches to the top ol
the embAukincnts crowning t e wall- i
a bight e»f about forty-five feet. The
bastions will have mounted io them a
average ol about ten gnu- each, w’ u h
will make a t >tal ol 040 for ti.o ninety-
four angular faces. Til's agrees with
• '.l.e dispatches from Paris, which, report
. 1,000 guns mounted on the ramparts
since tiro battle of Woerth. About one
i hamboil gates pierce the lampnrls, the
! ditches b ing covered by draw-bri ! ges,
willch cun be removed ut a moment's
I not ce or destroyed in two n inutes ly
the cannon in the bastions.
At diflernt points in the rear of the
I'lie arc placed extensive magazines,
well Supplied with aiiuintuou for the ar- :
tillery, and amply protected fmm the
shot of tlic enemy. Siucc the accession
of Iciiis Napoleon these magn/.ini'K have
been entirely remodelled, and are new
alisnliilely iinprcgnahh' t > .shot, and
shell. The old military roads of «in«

In m the old wall, which ran be seen
j tii eed on the map, aid at which the ee •
: hoi duly was collected, to the bastions,
having been laid (.tit in streets and
; bon ley aids, which are for the most part
j built up. In place of these routes there ;
is a line of railiond directly in the tear
1 of the fortifications and around them, hy
mr&ns of which troops can be thrown j
from one pai t of the line to th" other
with e real rapidity. There is no high
I ground in fr< tit of the works excepting
| ti at on which stand the outer fortnss
! The entire'zone from tho di lutclo and furls j
i to the dilehes is a clear, level and ah j
I most open country. We have a'ready !

| the leader in this enmity, who was in
Atlanta a few weeks since [ami \j’ho
says he received the constitution of the
elnli and instructions from Governor
Bullock'] told them these plubs were or
ganized iti every county in the State,
where there were many negroes, hut
that in this comity they were far behind
the balance of the State. Another pi in- |
(t'ple of the clubr in this county, is a
general th vision of properly It will be
s >cn that tho late riot grow out of the
obeying of the second rule of the c'ub,
viz: “Whenever a member of any of the
clubs is in ilauger, or to prison, the oth
ers are sworn to go to his assistance
and relief.” The negro imprisoned for
shooting the milk l , was a niomher of the
dub, and before the jail was hrok'n,
they all admitted that not one of them
know him, but their President had or
dered then to e 'no to his relief, an 1
they were Inmnl to obey under pen illy
of death. The c unmitmoat trial lias
developed another mgncilieant fact, viz;
iu every instance t iifir demands were
made on the civil officers, before any
attempt was made at violenc'. Ist, on
Saturday the order was to apply for the
keys of the jail to the Chairman of the
Ooinmi'S'ouo sos the town, and in his ah
so.uv to the jailor; 2nd, on Sunday the
demand sot Hickeys was again made of
j the Chairman, an 1 being refused by bi n,
| the jail was broken, though the jailor
j was present; 3d, the note sent by the
j rioters, threatening to burn the town,
j ifCtidjo was m dotted, was addressed to
the C i.iirmau of the Commissioners.
Cudjo, wlien warned of his danger on
Sunday, replied F at lie was acting iiir-
I der orders from lieu Iquarters, and that
he was perfectly w iling to stirreador
himself t) 0 ivonior Bullock that night.
It is believed, lie was on his way to
Atlanta to place himself under th > Gov
ernor's protect! m when lui was arrested
in Maco i, im Thursday in uuiiug-ho was
