France. The Following Proclamation Was I...
FRANCE . The following proclamation was issued on Friday last : — ' The President of tha Republic and his government will not hesitsts to employ any measure calculated to maintain order and save society , but they will always knis how to pay attention lo the voice Of public opinion , and tu the wishes of the well-inclined person * . They have not hesitated to change a mode of TOting which they had borrowed from precedents in history , bat which , in the actual state
of our electoral hahiis , did not appear sufficiently to ensure the independence of the votes given . The President of the Republic desires that all the electors shall he completely at Hhsrty in the expression of their vote , whether they exercise public ( unctions Or not , and whether they belong to the civil professions or to tbe army . Absolute independence , coraplete liberty of voting , is what Louis Napoleon vUhts to see es ' aW « V » ed . ' De Monsr , Minister of the Interior . Paris , Etc 5 . - .
A correspondent writes the following , dated the 6 * h inst . "—4 1 hear from public report in the streets that twenty-four men , taken with arms in their bauds , have been shot this morning in the Avenue Marigny . ' Madier de Monfjau was wounded on Wednesday at one of the barricadt-s in the Faubourg St . Antoine . His death was announced in the " Patrie , " but incorrectly . H « j is expected to recover soon , and lies at present in arrest .
' This morning all is quiet . The carnages circulate ; the shops are open ; the military have disappeared , and the capital resumes its usual aspect . I have not been able as yet to procure even an approximately correct statement of the number of persons killed . The greater part of the Siarricades were abandoned after the first platoon fire of tbe infantry ; very few of the soldiers have been even wounded ; but the loss nf life among persons altogether unconcerned in the disturbance , mere quiet citizens surprised in the great thoroughfares and slaughtered by discharges of musketry , is really fearful . There are at this moment
thirty-eigbjbodies lying in the cemetery of Muntmartre , co vered with straw , and laid out for recognition by their bereaved friends . People come and draw aside tbe atraw to examine the features of these victims , who retain their usual clothing . Thirtysix of these are weil-dressed persons , with an appearance of opulence , with watches , chains , papers , and other objects found upon them , indicating an easy station , aud leading to the conclusion that they were shot in the streets as they went about their usual avocations . There is only one workman among these bodies 5 and one woman , a Bavarian broom vender .
' One of the oldest English residents in this capital , Mr . P . Pariss , druggist in tbe Rue de la Pais , waskdUd on Thursday afternoon , in the discharge of musketry caused by the firing from a house on the troops as they were passing . Mr . pariss received two balls , and died four hours afterwards . He was on his way from the Rne de la Paix to another establishment that he bad near the Faubourg Poissonniere . ' A great number of ^ corpses are laid out for recognition in the Bazar du Boulevard Bonne Nouvelle . The following parage from the Constitutionnel , ' v >/ 'ii give an idea of tbe enormous military force by hich the covp d'etat is supported
—* In ths combats of the 4 th , and in the military demonstration of yesterday , only one-half of the army of Paris was employed . Not a battalion from any of the neighbouring garrisons has been sent for- Qua may judge from the powerful reserve at the disposal of the government , with what vigorous repression any attempt at a new insurrection would be met . Every one has been able to convince himself of the splendid arrangements made by General Hagnaa and of the rare precision with which the movements have been executed by the generals under his orders . * A correspondent thus describes the appearance oi the Boulevard Bonne Nouvel after the fighting : —
• The crowd of people on fuot and in tbe carriages assembled to witness the traces of de & tiucttun on the beautiful edifices of this part of Paris was immense . But the ruinous breaches effected by cannon in tbe carpet manufactory of AnfjtiSBun and the neighbouring buildings were tbe chief objects of curiosity . Among ihe carriages grouped opposite to this strange scene I observed to . my great surprise , that of M . Thiers , with Madame Thiers within . Tbe change in the aspect of tbe people was surprising . Not a soldier was to be seen anywhere along this line . The glad sense of security was visible ia every face , even while gazing 00 the scarred houses . Now and then the litters
of the ' Ambulences' were borne along for the transportation of tbe wounded . Beyond the Porte St . Martin up ta ths Place de la Bastille there is not a trace of fighting . There was evidently an intention of striking terror into the opulent classes , Tfb . 0 favoured the views of the loyalists . The handsomest modern mansions ia Paris stand exactly on tbe Boulevards Puissonnere and Bonne Nouvelle ¦ w hich have suffered most . Every stone edifice , distinguished ay elaborate architectural decoration , and ornamented with column and cornice , bears the innumerable dint of bullets . In tbe plate-glass of the windows you sea the clean round hole of the rifle ball in a lulls halo of white cracks . Before you reach the Parte St . Denis there is a raised path to the rig ht , A . U the Tailings which protect
passers by have been rent away . Underneath lay the black rusty springs of two carriages which had been burned . The restored paving uear the arch Showed that an ordinance of the Prefect of Police posted op had been attended lo . All those round pillars which are ranged at intervals along the Boulevard ^ and sera lot * amines' and other purposes Were torn down , and showed only a ruined stamp . The boxes where tbe arrivals and departures of hackney coaches are checked had disappeared with their clocks generally . The pavement everywhere 3 s either restored or in process of restoration . At the Chateau d'Eau I saw the traces of a camp , where a detachment of cavalry bivouacked , ail strown with litter and refuse . In the muddy road , round dry spots marked the places where their fires bad been kindled . '
The following circular has been sent fay the Prelect of Police to tbe different police commissioners : — ' Paris , Dec . 5 , Mr . CommUsirjf— Ths insurrection is put down . Our enemies are henceforth powerless to re-erect the barricades . Nevertheless the excitation to revolt continues . Ardent demagogues go about from group to group to provoke agitation and to spread false news . The ex-Montzgnard representatives are taming to account the last vestiges of theif former prestige , to lears the people to follow them . Furnished hotels , cafes , and suspicions houses , become
the receptacles oi conspirators and insurgents , Aims , munitions of war , and incendiary writings , are concealed ia tfiero . All these causes of agitation must be suppressed by practising the system of ariests , and the searching of houses upon a vast scale These are the means of restoring to the city that tranquillity which a handful of factious persons seek 10 rob her of . You have all under my own eyes done your du . y with so much courage and devotion , that I do not doubt hot that in order to fulfil this new and important mission , you will find in ysurselves all tbe vigilance and energy which Circumstances command . —The Prefect of Police , De Matjpas . *
Dr . Hoffe , an English dentist , residing at tbe Cite Vinde , was among the persons kilted oa tha Boulsvanls on Thursday , who were mere spectators of the operations . His body is said to be pierced with twelve balls . Dwturaances of a very serious character have orofcea out again iu the Cher . The valley of the Loire seems destined to give the government some trouble yet . A government organ stated , on Saturday , tbat some attempts at insurrection were made at Lyons , w the . aubowgs Vaise and de la Guillotiere , but Without any result . At Auzin , it is said , some workmen threatened a 8 Uike but were aetwred , a simple demonstrahon of the authorities .

• Two journals of London-tbe " Moraine Chrn nicle" and the " Globe" copying flJXSSE Lsb , cMcermng the acts of the gove rnment andi the deeds of tte 2 nd December , the most odious and absurd calnmnies . We are authorised to gWe these journals , whose introduction into France is forbidden , ths most complete contradiction .

ral cantons of the Ailier , and occupied La Pahsse after a conflict in which the gendarmerie sustained sever * losses . At Tournus they have taken the Hotel de Ville . Serious riots have broken out at different points of the Saone-et-Loire , particularly iu the arrond ; ssem « nt of Chalon-sur-Saaue . A decree appears in the * Moniteur , ' placing the AHier and Saone-et-Loire in sta'e of siege . M . de Morny , Minister of the Interior , states , in the preamble of the decree , the above facts concerning tbe sprerd of the insurrection .
Numerous arrests were effected yest « daj iu tAw . quarter of St . Martin . Among others , a representative was taken there . Stores of arms , many of the guns yet loaded , were found in the hoittf 3 . Almost all belonged to the national guard . Quantities of tin cases filled with powder have been found in the sewers . Mathe , representative of the AHier , Huguenin , of the Haute-Saone , and eight redacteurs of the ' Revolution' were also arrested . Riots have occurred at Clermont , but were sup . pressed . A correspondent says : —
' The members of Ihe dissolved Assembly are now , wilh few executions , at liberty . The first use which they have made of their power of seeing one another has been to consult whether they shall stay at Paris or repair to the various departments , where they have roost influence , in order to organise a pacific resistance to Louis Napoleon by way of vote . This question has not been jet decided . But several conservative representatives will meet this evening at tfce hduse of a well known ex-minister , in order to come to some common resolution on this subject . I understand that hour of the representatives hostile to the government receive their letters addressed to them ; and their correspondence has to be sent through third parties . '
Monday . —A conflict has taken place at Montargis in the Loirer , in which the socialist party were defeated , with loss , by the National Guard . The Chamber of Commerce at Havre made in its sitting of the 5 th a demonstration against the acts of the President . The military commander of that port during the state of siege has therefore issued 0 proclamation , warning all deliberative bodies not to exceed tbe strict limit of their attributions , by passing resolutions on such matters , otherwise they will be dissolved . He abstains from dissolving the Chamber of Commerce on the present octagon , considering the inconvenience that might result to commerce from such a measure .
A commission of three mayors , an architect , and doeter , presided over by the Prefect of the Seine , is appointed to value the damages done to innocent victims . A credit of 200 , 000 fr . is opened to the minister of the interior to provide for the first needs . We may gather from various signs that gradually all traces of the revolution of February will disappear , whether in the shape of external svmbols or political institutions , as for instance .
Tae reconversion of the Pantheon into the Church of St . Gsnevieve , decreed by an ordinance in the ' Moniteur' of this morning , ia a sop thrown to the priesthood , the more ardent section of which has still stuck to the cause of Louis Napoleon . This concession has at the same time the advantage of appearing to abdicate a feature of imperialism unsuited lo the feeling of tbe age—I mean the heathenish imitation of Greek and Roman ideas .
The following is from a correspondent : — ' Monday—Everybody to-day looks though ful . Go into whatever house you will—and I have been in many this morning- —people will recount to yous with tbat graphic skill for which the French are so remarkable , every incident of the week , and accompany the sketch with some useful , though perh & pt commonplace moral . The sacrifice of life touche , every heart . The indiscriminate , brutal manner in which the soldiers have used their momentary power is the subject of universal comment . It is known that hundreds of shot were fired into houses
rrom which not a gun had been discharged . Most of tbe four or five hundred persons killed were young men who had taken no part in the struggle . Tbe same may be said of the hundreds who were wounded , and are now suffering untold agonies in the public hospitals . At least twenty 0 / the wounded and ten of the killed were English , who happened to be at the scene of action when tbe unlooked-for discbarge was made upon the troops from a house in the Boulevard Poissonniere . These facts fill everybody with sorrow , and illustrate only too forcibly the foolishness , under any but the ex «
trernest circumstances , of an appeal to brute force . ' A fact came to my knowledge this morning , which shows tbat some of the hostile demonstrations of the people were made , not only with the connivance ( as is generally believed ) but under the direction 0 / the government . Among the poor fellows who were dangerously wounded in the fight on Thursday at one of the twenty or thirty barricades , was a commissary -of police in citizen ' s dress . On being taken home to his mother , he confessed that he had wickedly assisted at the building of the barricade , aud urged others to do the same , by direction of his superiors .
* This fact confirmed me in the opinion I had hefore formed , when witnessing the operation of the insurgents at their strongest barricade , in the Porte St . Denis . That opiniun was , that seeing there was no policeman or soldier present , to prevent the laying of tbe first stone , it was evident the insurgents were led on and encouraged iu ail their demonstrations by tbe authorities . ' The truth is , that tbe first and second day after the coup d ' etat , the President was frightened at the terrible calm which followed . He bad prepared for an instant and fearful resistance . The silence of
the multitude , the absence from the streets of Red Republicans aud Socialists , alarmed him . Where were they all , and what were they about ? And , above all , how to get at them ? That was the great question . The answer seems to have been withdraw not only every soldier , but every policeman from his post , and leave the " demagogues" to suppose tbat we are in a state of unwarrantable and fool-hardy confidence . This will bring the fellows out , and set them at work . We will then stand quietly by till they have built their barricades , and then pounce upon them like vultures , and sweep them from tbe earth .
{ This seems to have been the policy , and it cer . taiuly met nith some , though not much , success . Fortunately the overwhelming majority of the Radicals were far too knowing and prudent to be caught in any such trap . ' Peopleare now reviewing and reflecting upon these things , and are resolved , for the present , to preserve a masterly inactivity . ' If anyone supposes that the men who sent Eugene Sue to the National Assembly , the more > moderate party who support Cavaignac , and the innumerable readers Of the late " Siecle , " " Presae , " " National , " and"I ) eaiocratiePacfiquV'have been suddenly metamorphosed intoNapoleonists or indifferentists they make a vital mistake .
' The result of every day ' s serious thought is more and more against the ekclic-n of Napoleon . Meanwhile the news published in the official journals that several of the depaitnvnts have " rebelled , " and are now in a slate of siege , is encouraging bolh Legitimists and Republicans not to despair . ' Last evening I visited some of tbe theatres and other places of amusement . They were moderately well attended ; but between the acts people talked about something else besides farces . At a cafe concert in the Qaartier Latin , where there was a large company listening 'to indifferent music and drinking indifferent beer , I observed tbat tbe fine liberal songa of Pierre Dopont , which 1 had been accustomed to bear there , were not in the pro . gramme .
' The President ' s repeated assurance that he will abide by tbe vote of the 20 th and 21 st inat . has certainly a tranqoallising influence upon the people ; and if tbe ballot boxes were not universally in the hands of his chosen and devoted partisans , and if there was any certainty that the vote would be honestly declared , France would at once become perfectly satisfied . * One of the great grievances of the moment is that the people are utterly deprived 0 / their press . This deprivation to a people like tbe French is insupportable . The enormous and increasing
circulation of ' -La Prei » e , "" Le Bien-etre Universel , " " LMiltutration , " "Le Charivari , " La Semaine , " and the *• Journal pour Hire , " was a fact far too momentous to be overlooked with impunity . Come what may , the people will have their journals . _ ' Aud the thought which is occurring to every mind to-day , tbat as long as Louis Napoleon is in power there cannot , in the nature of things , baa free press in all France , is filling ths people with alarm ; not merely selfish alarm that they will no mere have tbe luxury of morning and evening newspapm at their tables ; but well-grounded alarm at a .

France. The Following Proclamation Was I...
• In this connexion it may be well to remark , that not only in Paris , but in all those parts of France where we are told hy the government that the people are perfectly delighted with the new regime , every Republican journal , and in fact every journal which is not abjectly devoted to Louis Napoleon , has been suppressed . « Trade is 0 / course at a stand ; and as for tbe bourse , let the government alone for managing that . « The one phrase in all mouths this morning is that " all is tranquil . " But the tranquillity of a n . an with a bavonet at his breast is not much to
boast of . It i » c <> 0 mUca liks the tranquillity of death . Toe public gardens are once more thrown opMn , but < hs very trees seem melancholy . Th « groups of happy children which we used to see playing in front of the Tuileries , and iu the pleasant groves ot the Luxembourg , are all gone like the summer birds The splendid arcades which branch off from the once gay Boulevards like aa many sparkling streams from a noble river , are to-day dull and cheerless . One hears the tramp of fee ' , and tbe low murmur of stifled voices ; but the gay repartee and the merry laugh , never .
• Nobody is at his ease . One scarcely dare think lest his very countenance betray him . An indignant republican cries out " A has Napoleon , '' and straightway a piaiol is snapped in his face , and hia brains strew the pavement . Henceforth we must all be dumb . The only safe men are Napoleonists and idiots . This morning tbe news comes to us that all English papm ate contraband . We must not even read . Presently all our houses are to be
searched ; and koc be t" the man who has a liberal book on his premises . Everybody is watched like a pickpocket . Two English correspondents are to be sfcnt fit once out of the country . The writer waits his turn , and will be only too thankful not to be shot . Aad this is called " tranquillity !'• ' I have just walked through the most democratic quarters of Paris on both sides the Seine , and find silence and gloom everywhere , but no disturbance .
' The majority of the republicans had nothing to do with the barricades . They abstained from the use of bullets for the same reason that the day before tha revolution they had abstained from ballots—to wit , that under the circumstances they would be useless . They are ready either to vote or to fight whenever they can have fair play , but not before . The men who built the barricades , and perished in defending them , were the extreme socialists . That they are devoted to their principles , is shown by iheir being so ready to die for them . I saw many of the poor fellows a few moments before they fell victims to their zeal , and a more determined set af men never lived . There they were , in plain blouse or paletot , without a sword or a musket , erecting their wretched
barricade with as much confidence as if it were to be as strong as tbe rock of Gibraltar . And when the poor framework of waggons and paving stones was . completed , the desperate creatures planted themselves behind it , armed only with a few bludgeons and crowbars , and waited coolly for the approach and attack of countless troops and artillery . One frantic fellow , well dressed , and apparently well off , ran about from group to group while the barricades were building , and with '' words round and hard as cannon balls , " sought to inspire the idlers with patriotism and courage . Now and then his fiery eliquence would touch the heart of some young impulsive fellow , who would immediately rash forward , and the next moment he was hugging huge stones , or drawing huge waggons , as if he bad been a barricadut all his life .
' I stood a spectator of this scene , at the Porte St . Denis , for two hours . There was no soldier , no gendarme even , within hearing . The insurgents had their own way . and worked at their leisure , They looked with mingled sorrow and scorn upon the mere lookers-on , but used no force to make us assist them . It was plain they were building their own coffins ; but it was useless to say so . They had rather become corpses than subject * , and , feeling that to be the alternative , were resolved to die bravely . Tlnse who were not shot or bayoneted in the first terrible onslaught were made prisoners , and bave since been executed on tbe Champs-de-Mars .
' For ilia most part , the republicans of Paris resolved to make no watlikft demonstration until they could know something favourable from the departments . For that they have waited in vain , and now they are in a state of despair . Many of them have returned sullenly to their ateliers , to brood in silence over their fall , and invoke upon their enemies the vengeance of the future . I have been to many of their haunts , and returned as sad as if 1 had been visiting a newly-filled grave-yard . I tried to talk with them , and ascertain their state of mind , but they were distrustful and " discreet . "
' A few earners whom I happened to know personally—and one whom I had had occasion ti > employ—spoke to me with great frankness . They seemed to think that tha only thing now was to wait and vote . They were pleased with the idea of a secret and universal suffrage ,- but then , they ask , " what security have we that the President will sbide by the result , if it should be unfavourable ?" They also dwelt much upon thefact tbat siuceevery republican journal in France is suspended , and nearly every republican editor or advocate in prison , there cannot possibly be a free expression of opinion . If , " said one of them , "if I should declare today my intention to vote against Napoleon , and should use my influence , however quietly , to persuade my daily associates to do so , I should be 1 mmedialelv arrested and iworisoned . "
' Under these circumstances it is tbe opinion of tbe ouvriers themselves that Napoleon will receive at least a majority ol the votes . ' There are many among the more desperate o ( the " Reds" who say that the first day the President dares to march through the streets he will assuredly be shot , as that is the only way of removing him from power . 'Men who wotdd he likely to vote against Napoleon are being arrested by the hundred every day . '
The streets are almost free from troops , but single soldiers are seen riding aud walking about ; and spies are known to abound in every street , ready to report the most trifl lift occurrence . There is not a house in all Paris which ia not at this moment under sorveillance . The Prefect of Police spreads bis complicated web all over the metropolis with the subtlety and skill of a spider . How many poor fellows are entrapped like so many flies , and suddenly pounced upon , no one at present can know . 'Thirty-five corpses were exhibited in the Cite Bergere on Friday , only one of which was drussed in a blouse ; one of them was that of a postman , wilh a letter still in his hand . '
The editor of the ' Journal du Havre , ' who has declined to lend bw pea to the support of M . Bonaparte's government , but who on the other hand has refrained from attacking it , has received the following communication from the sous-prefect of that town ;—* Sir , —The situation of the country makes it necessary that no document or argument tending to weaken the acts of the executive power should be
published by the press . Conformably to the orders of the government , I have to request you to observe in this respect tl ^ strictest resent From ibis day forward yoa will be good enough to submit to roe day by day a proof of the journal which yon conduct prior to its publication . In the event of your neglecting to observe tbe regulation it will be " my duty to suspend your newspaper . —I remain , & c , Launav ds Pbovost , sous-prefect of Havre . — Dee . 5 , 1851 . '
The English journals which should have been delivered in Havre on Sunday , had not found their way into subscribers' hands on Monday morning . Tha council-general of tbe llle-et-Vilaine has protested against the act of 2 nd December , with tbe exception of three members . The council-general of the Loire-lnferieure has protested unanimously . The Herault and the Card are placed in a state of siege , on the usual pretexts—the dreadful spread of ' detestable' Social principles . The President , on the proposition of the Minister of War , has published a decree , ordering that when troops have been employed in active service in putting down tiots , it shall be reckoned aa if they were engaged in the field . This is another sop in the pan to tbe army .
The following is an extract from & svngeon ' s letter , dated Paris , Dec , 5 : — ' I cannot now give you much account of tbe awful scenes that happened here yesterday . I narrowly escaped being shot ia the Street , as many were ; and having entered my hotel on the Boulevards , which were filled with thousands of troops , a audden discharge of musketry took place along tbe whole line—volley after volley ; not a house , icarcely a window , was spared , whether containing combatants or not . Before I could rush from my

room musket balls entered by the window , from which I bad retreated but a step or two . In ano « ther room was a Russian family ; the brother , a fine young man , and his sister were both struck by balls while hastening from the room with their mother . The lady had her hand shattered , the brother was shot in the chest . I have seldom felt a more intense pleasure in my profession than in being able to give immediate assistance to these poor persons , for which otherwise they must have waited many hours . They displayed a beautiful and generous devotion , each begging me to attend first to the other . There is a house opposite ours tbat is breached hv cannon shot fired into it at a few feet
distance . The loss of life , which will never be published , must have been awful . "With characteristic peculiarity , after the troops had performed their unwvrthy ' task , the military surueons , at night , irent from bouse to house lo see after the wounded . One of them told roe he had just seen sixty dead and eighty wounded in our immediate neighbourhood . The greater part of the injured are noncombatants , smldeniy surprised in the slreeia or struck down , uusubpee ' ving danger in their own homes . Such scenes—fit enough perhaps for the storming of an Arab town—with an indiscriminate attack on unresisting house * , were never before known , even in Paris . '
Tbe following is an extract from a private letter daled Paris , December 8 , 1851 , sent to the ' Times' ;—« One of our female servants is married to a non-commissioned officer in one of the regiments of civic troops which are employed more especially in the arrests and executions now going on . We iearn from her that her husband was engaged with his company the entire day yesterday in making arrests . He does not know bow many hundred were lodged hy his company in the prisons . He snys they are ordered out to the Champs tie Mars to-day to ' shoot a number—reported to ba 156—of those condemned by the court-martial .
' From the language used by the wife we infer that the soldiers , at least of that regiment , notwithstanding their enormous extra pay , are thoroughly disgusted with their work . All the usual vocabulary of abusire epithets ir showered on the President , such as brigand , scelerat , & c . ' Last evening a friend called who ought to be well informed , and assured me that a list of suspected persons has been made which includes all tbe English in Paris who are supposed to have any engagements in connexion with the press , and especially with tbe newspapers , It is said to be decided to order any one to quit France who is
suspected of writing articles or letters hostile to the Government . Another friend called last evening , who is the chief judge of one of the high tribunals , and also a member of the soi-diiant " Consultative Council , " to whom I mentioned what I heard about the suspected list . He replied that he had not any knowledge of such a list , but that in the present state of things it was very probable , and that he conceived such a measure to be dictated by motives of wise precaution and prudence ; that it gives France trouble enough to manage her own affairs without being embarra ; sed by the meddling of foreien journals .
' As I think there is danger even in sending letters through the bureau of your correspondent , and , as letters addressed to the '' Times" ( not proceeding from the usual correspondent ) would ( as I am assured ) , be opened at the Post-office , I think it best to inclose this to a friend , who will forward it . 'Weare now literally living under the reign of terror . Not one word that appears in the French journals can be relied on . Indeed , it may be in general t . iken to be false . ' Tuesday . —The * Moniteur' publishes a decree , announcing that all individuals placed under the survnillar . ee of the bifth police , who shall be proved to have quitted the place assiped them as their residence , will be transported to Cayenne or Algeria for five or ten years . The same measure will be applied to individuals found guilty of forming part of a secret society .
Eleven more ex-representatives ( as they are now called ) were arrested last night . They are MM . Carbonneau , Csyras , Chabert , Chavassieu , Gavarret , Gambon , Gui'er , Perdiguier , Richardet , Mathe , Huguenin , and also M . Madier de Montjau , the father of the es-representavive , was arrested 011 Friday eiening . A letter received from a privaie source , written hy tbe Duke of Albnfera to Louis Napolean , on perceiving his name on tbe list of embryo senators says , « Your uncle gave my family ail honourable name , which you have tarnished by putting it in tbe list of your commission . ' We are not aware how many such protests have been written . But we hope the honourable pride which dictated Ibem will not be changed by the alchemy of power into an humble regret .
Wednesday . —The President visited yesterday the hospital ot Grosuaillou , and distributed decorations ; uid money to thirty-seven wounded soldiers . Each received lOOfr . Ilia carriage was escorted by cuirassiers . Admiral Dubordieu has addressed a despatch to the government dated November 29 , announcing that the Pasha of Taugiers had made the concessions demanded by M . Bouree , the French Obarg 6 d'Affuirs , on the 23 th . In eonsequeitce the admiral had saluted the Morocco flag with twenty-one guns ; nvid all was finished . Yesterday hy order of the Prefect of the Seine , tbe electoral lists of March , 1 S 19 , were posted up . at , nil the innyories of the department . On the 16 th a supplementary list will be published , containing the corrections made necessary by the lapse of time .
No fresh proclamations appear this morning , but the ' Moniteur ' is posted up on the walls . Several arrows made yesterday at Keuilly . It is slated officially that complete tranquillity is restored to the departments of the Euro , Seine-et-Mnrnc , Haute-Marne , Vancleuso , Cotea-du-Nonl , Doi'do ^ ne , C : » nt « l , Aniege , Eure-et-Loire , Lot , Vorges , Uaut-Khin , Meuse , Cote d'Or , and Yonno . There are no additional papers published this
morning . A correspondent says : — ' Tho fifty-one representatives confined in Mont Valerien have been all liberated , excepting Generals Oudinot and Lauriston , and twelve members of the Mountain . I met to-day at the side-door of the ministry of finance M- Dupin talking with smothered earnestness to two representatives , who had probably just touched their salary up to the 1 st Of December . Never did 2 see mon . whobatl just fingered their pay look eo completely dejected . The ex-President of the Assembly , standing with bis umbrella under his . arm ill the well-known thick-soled shoes upon tbe muddy pavement , was
gesticulating with a suppressed energy , while he poured into despondent ears words which made his hearers look still graver , and seemed destitufe of a single spark of those facetious sallies that were wont to set the Assembly iu a roar . And if my information be correct , the representatives may " welt look grave , for I hear that it has been intimated to them from the Ministry of Wnr that if they meet anywhere to deliberate , they will bo seized and tried forthwith by court-martial . It is suid that many of them believe that Genoial St . Arnaud would have very little compunction in ordering
them to be shot if they were found guilty of contravening the orders of the state of stege . Without pni'takjjj £ of these extreme fears we may ba sure that tbe government would have very little hesitation in transporting such offenders " to Cayenne or Algeria . It is already affirmed that tbis ' u'ooin is suspended ovor the heads of the prisoners still remamin ? in tho Castlo of Ham and the fort of Mont Valerien . In fact the decree in tho 'Moniteur ' is especially levied at these prisoners , who aro thereby , if they break their ban , subject to transportation . '
M . Thiers was so ill while in prison that the government were only too gkd to set him free , lest they might bo Mi * yjOCte > i of i ' oul play , should he have died . General Cavaignac is not yet married ; he is only allowed to correspond with his bride elect through the prefect of police . Di-epatcfica from the south inform us of resistance to the prefects , but the cfficial accounts state they are all put down . A great number of prisoners have been taken . It is asserted by tho Times , ' that on Monday
week the Minister of Finance induced tho Bank of France to lend him a million sterling , alleging that it was a mere affair of temporary accommodation to be provided for by Treasury bills . The use made of these funds is now sufficiently apparent , for the coup d ' etat took place next morning , and services were required and performed for which the moat liberal donations to the army and the police would hardly seem disproportioned . This , however , is denied by Cassiabanci and by the Governor of the Bank .
AUSTRIA . Accounts from Vienna slafe , that a poor fellow who for a long time was established in England , married and amassed a ltUhj property there , returned to Austria a short time ago to see a sick relative , and now finds tbat he will wot be able to go hack again to England , having received a strict order from the police to return to the village in Hungary where he was born , but had long ceased to lave either lie or occupation ! Remonstration in all such cases is yajn , Whsa the Jews were sent away , the maaufac-
France. The Following Proclamation Was I...
turers and wholesale bouse * remonstrated tbat tbe police were depriving them of their customers , and that they could not continue to pay their ordinary dues and taxes if this were done ; when an armed force was sent down to the exchange to bring all business to a stagnation , remonstrances were again made , but ' those who vrill to cooper maun to couper , ' as the proverb says , and remonstrances might ' be as well addressed to a mule tt 5 to atl Austrian functionary . A correspondent says : —
'Every part of the Austrian dominions maybe looked upon as ripe for revolt , and the first & pail < which may chance to fallon materials perhaps more inflammable than evercollected together in any country will kindle a blaze which may set half Europe on fire . This is no secret , no one indeed can be more conscious of it than are the government themselves . '
PRUSSIA . The papers express , wilh regard to the French coup d ' etat , much such sentiments as might have been expected fn , ra their known principles . The ? Constilutionnel' and 'National-ZsitHtig' loudly denounce the perfidy and perjury of M . Bonaparte . The ' New Prud .-ian Gazette' sees in bis usurpation of supreme power a phenomenon threatening lt ; r Germany . The legitimist aud government' Kvevvz-Zeitung , ' however , while true to its notorious hatred of parliamentary government , holds up the Uount de Clumbord to supreme contempt ( or not daring to make a similar coup d ' etat , and praises Louis Napoleon for doing it .
HUNGARY . Accounts from Hungary state that although the appointniftnt of the Archduke Albert ( son of Ihe late Archduke Charles ) may be looked upon as a popular measure , it has been wholly inadequate to allay the existing discontents . Life and property are stated never to have been so insecure as at present ; the pastive resistance system is carried so far that subordinate officials purposely mistake the orders of their superiors ; and ia : tly , it is certain
that M . Kossuth ' s reception in England has been deeply felt throughout the length and the breadth of Hungary , and that by all classes alike , perhaps by none move so than the higher ones . The administration of that country since the conclusion of tbe war has been such a series of mistakes—has been so irritating to the pride and national feelings of many—so disastrous to Uifcinterests of al , that discontent prevails there perhaps to a greater extt-nt than in Italy , and the disease of bad government is Still more Wide spread and deep seated .
SCULESWIG IIOLSTEIN . Tbe Hamburg papers continue to give fresh illustrations of the unhappy situation of the Settles * wigers under the restored ascendancy of the Dams . The 'Hamburger Nachrichten' has the following :- — ' Kiel , November 20 . —Scarcely a day goes by that countrymen are not brought prisoners to town , bound to th « horses of the gensdarroe and obliged to keep pace with them on foot . The following account of the treatment of , anil conduct observed towards , l ) r . de Lamotte and wife , will characteristically show how the different grades of despotic tyranny set in concert with one another ; at the same time making known facts until now unheard
of , It was intimated to the aforementioned gentleman tbat a sergeant was to be quartered in hi * house ; at the same lime , this officer being notorious for vermin , Dr . fie Lemotle made a private application to the captain of his company to have another man in his place . The captain refused to grant him this request , and on applying officially for the sergeant ' s non-admittance into his house , and producing witnesses to prove tbe uncleanliness of the man , he ( the doctor ) , instead of receiving an answer , bad an additional man quarter ! upon him . Soon after , Dr . de L . was summoned to appear before the commander of the battalion , and commanded to make an apology to the sergeant for his
insulting assertion . He refused to do so unless compelled by law . As sooa as be arrived at home a gendarme arrested him . Immediately after his removal , another appears and demands of his wife , in the name of her husband , the delivery of the gun and dagger concealed in the house . She declares her ignorance of arms bsing in the house . The gendarme persists in his request , aud forces the poor woman , hy healing her with the but end of his musket , to unlock everything in the housH , until through his maltreatment she falls down senseless . The children run shrieking out Of the bt > u .-e to their father at tbe house where he is still detained , and beg and pray him to divulge where the arms are conccaUid , to save their mother from being murdered . He denies being in possesion of arms , and begs the cflit- 'er to pacifv his enraged
subordinate , which he did , finding tbat tbe doctor ' s wife lay bailed in her own blood . The doctor was then removed and kept in prison for some tim ? , when a trial took place , Lamotte being accused of insulting the sergeant , but after a short hearing , and a further confinement of a few days ( without any decision being given ) he was liberated . A _ letter , dated the 28 th November , states Dr , L ' s . wife has died in consi-quence of the brutal treatment she experienced from tbe hands of the gendarme . Of all the accounts in circulation respecting this nffair , the most exaggerated scarcely expresses to the full the atrocity that has been exhihited . She was literally so struck and beaten on the breast and back with the butt of the musket , that the blood spouted out of her month . The magistrate has refused to lake tip the doctor ' s case .
HANOVER . Our advices from Hanover represent the opposition in the chambers aa becoming serious . The first chamber having adopted a motion , calling on George V . to realise the promised reforms , and safeguard the independence of the kingdom against tho interference of the Diet , the second chamber has now pronounced in favour of a similar motion , in a more conciliatory form , confining itself to the
expression oi a wish . M . Stuve , chief of the opposition before March 1848 , and afterwards minister , will , it is expected , shortly re-appear in tbe chamber to support tho constitution and oppose the new treaty . ^ Constitutional addresses in support of the vote oflchambers reach the ministry from several towns , especially from Osnabruck . The so-called Hungarian emissary , lately arrested by the Austri . ans at ltendsburg , has just been hurried off to Vienna , under strong escort , to be tried by a council of war .

The Prussian Government Intends To Re.Im...
The Prussian government intends to re . impose the stamp duty on newspapers , and it is understood of double the amount of the old tax . Every daily paper will have to pay two thalers a year for each subscribed copy . The police department of Belgium has issued the most positive instructions to the officers of both the land and sea frontier not to allow any traveller to pass whose passport has not the vise of a Belgian authority abroad . It is the custom at the Foreign-office to tell travellers that such vise is not required for a passport taken out for Prussia , for instance , but the information is incorrect ; if the Belgian territory be crossed or touched upon , the vise of a Belgian authority is necessary . \\\
An official notice states that the Neapolitan government has granted to importations into Sicily , by French vessels , which have called at intermediate ports , the reduction often per cent , enjoyed by the United Slates and other nations .
