—I am Jin inspector of the Directive Police . I was at a meeting it Bradford , on Monday , Ihe 29 : h May . There was ft disturhar . ee there . The ailitary were called out- There were no lives lost , but some persons ¦ were wounded . There were seventeen or eighteen persons taken into custody . The special constables and the police went out for the purpose of apprehttdiEg teTeral persocs , aEd they were stoned . They were , therefore , obliged to call out tfee military to assist in the apprehension of these persons . The AiTOBX £ T-GEKisiL . —That , my lord , is the case for the prosecution . j The coart then rose for a short time .
Tlie jury having re-assembled , and the learned jedge taken his Seat , Mr Serjeant Wilsins rose to address the jury for the defendant . Uesald—May it please yourlordship and gentlemen of the jury , it is easier to sting than % 0 e radicate the venom . The Attorney General has certaiciy opened this case to you in what wcnld ba cotamonly called a very able manner , bufc it might have been observed by every person who heard him , that he " felt himself called on to urge a great many topics , and to exercise agreat deal more of vehemence acd energy in opening this case to you against Ernest Jones , than he had displayed op . any former occasion . It does seam to me as if a consciousness of the weak nes 3 of the case against the defendant had suggested the necessity of a applying that weakness by as extra * ordinary degree of energv , and , if he will forgive me ,
by S 3 amount cf sophistry on his part , that I scarcely expected . 1 do not state this as a charge against him , for I have learned aow almost impoesitle it is to keep one ' s EttBd araffeded in caESB oi thiB kind , and how exlremily difficult it is for an advocate not to receive with an nndonbting belief the impressions of the client in . whose csse he may happen to be engaged . I cannot &e ! p thinkiog , therefore , that when yon came to listen to the speech delivered by the defendant { Mr Jones ) a 3 read by the short-hand writer , it conveyed very different i ess to your minds from fhessine speech read , and with such impressive accent , by the learned Attorney-General , and you would be apt to ask yourselves , can this be the speech thatcalled forth tbe observations which we have beard frcm the first Law Officerofthe Crown ? Few of you , only one , I believe , have sat to try an indictment of this character
before . The Ati .-bssy-Ge 5 Ebal—No one , Mr Sergeant . It is a new jury . Mr Sergeant Wilxix * . — I am Md that not oflscf you , and th refore , I shall be obliged to recapitulate many ot the topics which I had on former days urged 00 the attention of the other jurie 3 . I must ask of you respectfully but most earnestly , to treat this css ? asth ugh it were the first—as thoush it were the cnij case that rad been or was to be tried of this kkd-you are bound , Bitting , aa you are , on that jurj — you are bcucd to forget all that you may bare heard out of doers—you are bound to forget all that yon haver 5 Ed , and to remove Irera your minds all impressions that msy h&Te been made by tbat all pre . Tailing power in tie present day , I mean the public preES . I may here be allowed to 63 y , that I cannot that it woald have exhibited
belp thinking more good taste , and been more consonant to the dictates of Eoand feeling and oi justice , in portions of tub public press , it they had withheld their comments 3 nd animadversions in the = e cases , until they were antirtd closed . But be that as it may . you , gentle-Ben , are bound by the oath you have taken , to treat trrs case as though you heard it now for the first tin . e , and the only in formation which you can take for yoar guidance , is the evidence that has been laid before yoo . No taatUr whether you have been special cone tables ; no matter whether you have b ; en iDJuriossSy affscted by the alarm and the excitesaent that has so uaiiecesiar . ly existed ; yonr sympathies EQ&J extend to tbe bound of Europe , but all these things you are Col' 6 d upnn to lay entirely aside , and jou siust come to examine thi 3 question as if you were without one tittle of information , aa to what u
pESsing in other oountries ; as if you were without ene influence or one impression , other than has been farni * hedto yourmifld 3 by the witnesses that have & * en called into the box before you . Well , gentlemen , if you do so—if you come to the icquiry in the way I have explained , I cannot help thinking that you ff ill bs of opinion first of all , that there has been BO evidence laid before you , tint thb wa 3 an unlawful assembly ; aad in tie text place , that there was not a word spoken at that meeting enfficient , in a prave charge of this kind , to criminate Ernest Jonea . T do not cake thii observation lightly , or without considerate I am not making it merely as the adrocate engaged for the defendant in the case , fin I nffl dow proceed to Uy before you the result of my reactions before I came into ttoeonrt ;; for « . you this which
are aware , the whole of speech , u efaarged igaitBt Ernest Jones , was supplied to me in the indictment , and _ therefore I had ample opportunity of calmly eriboiung and weighing everv sentence in it , bsfore I came to this court ; and unless 1 sadly oyet-rate my own powers of understandin g and persuasion , I will be able to convince weual o tint there is cot one word or syllable con-Uined ' in the whole of this * dd « si which can with any show of reason er justice be alleged to be Criminal . Now , before I enter into the facts of the Lse itself let me reply to a few observations thrown out by the Attorney General in tbe opening of thus case The learned Attorney-General began by say . de that this was the most important of the whole of fch ' cases that had beea tried under charges of this kkd , the importaace consisting ( if I can collect Ma

m-. aningf . vig i- .. ) in the fact that the de ' eudanfc is a fcen ; i : mnn , a reember "f the bar , and not absolutely a poor man . It seems to me most extraordinary that the karcei Attorney's premisf s should have led him to such a conclusion . Lie begins by saying that the case is rendered more important from the position , and station , and education of tbe defendant . Now , Gentlemen , let roe call yonr attention to this fact . What is Eroefct Jones ? Beyond all question a man of learning . Perhaps I may be allowed to say , that since this trial bfgan , and I never had the honour of his acquaintance before , but sines this trial ha 3 brought u ? in connexion , he has placed in mv band varions literary poetical and other produc-. ~ '
tions , proving him to be a man of very superior intellect . What is his station ? He ja a member of the profession to which I , a humble individual , have tke honour to belong , and it is a profession that gives , if a man conducts himself with integrity and with koacur—it is a profession that will place within his ambition ' . he highest honours , the highest position , the highest station in this country , under the Crown itself . ¦ What is his education ? Let tbe facts yon seespeak for him . Is it true , then , he is a young turn ? lenlarged intellects , of liberal education ? Is it true that his station 13 so marked as to . take him out of the same catogory as those with whom he has been here associated ? la it true that the profession to which be belonga points out to him , if he be
honourable , and high-minded , and studious , the most distinguished place and position in the country ? Is it true that the profession to wuicn he belopgs promises to him the highest honours , the proudest distinctions that this land can confer ? Is it true that even if be Dsd an ambition of the most aspiring character , that profession to which he belongs hold ? out to him the brightest prospects and the highest ohjeotsf-rthe exercise of that ambition . Our pro fession ha 3 received lustre from names , the highest , ihe most distiniiuUned in the kingdom , and no man , whatever may have been his position or his birth , no matter what his previous station may have been—no man , I say , who is connected with this profession , but has the means placed within bis grasp , by
industry , by perseverance , and by honour , of becoming tneequal of the proudest nobleman in the Jand ; no taan need despair , if he pursues the honourable course which best becomes his profession , of becoming the first subject under the throne in the land in which he lives . If , then , it be true that Erce = t Jones ha 3 that education ; if it be true that Be belongs to a profession which promises to the humblest such high henoura and rewards ; if all this be trne , do you thitk he would wastonlv throw these advantages away ? Do you think that , unless his c- ' -nstfence enaded him strongly , unless his sympathies urged him on , do you think that he would cast a- 'oe all these honours and all these adv ? ntag £ s tfl league himself with the poor , the imp 9 veiished , and
the D € eHy , and to stand upas the champion of those whoa he' hiught were unprotected , and subject hin > sett to contumely and to reproach from tbe preju * di .-fsof his fellow CDuntrymfn ? He has education , and , from what I have seen cf that man ' s mind , I do not hesitate to say that he might aspire to higher honour .- ; than any man sittiDg around this tab ' e . JJe has the hopes , the imagination , the understanding , and , I dare say , the ambition , to distinguish himself amoEg his fellow men . I say , then , that the premises of the learned Attorney-General would justify opposite conclusions from thoBe sought to be drawn b ? my learned friend . The Attorney-General says his language is more dangerous , because it is more measured—because , as I shall show you by and
by , it is mere moderate . That it may be dangerous to evil government and to party power , dacgerous to corruption and to undue influence , I am free to confess . That his language endangers the institutions of the country , I deny . While it may be injurions to the former , I believe that itB object is to cherish and preserve the latter ; and I thick that you will discover this by and by , when you read his sentiments . There are two principles— one gocd and the other evi!—one always smuggling in proportion to the advance of the other . We shall see , by and by , to whom ihe threatened danger reachc . My friend , the At ' orney-General , quotes Ernest Jc-nea ' s case to sbow that there is sot one Ian- for the rich and arother law for the poor , and I think it is rather do
dap . garous for my irieiid ^ to so . Truly , Ernest Jone 3 i 3 a barrister ; he is a stadent of the law ; he is a man of letters—of a cultivated mind ; but , as my les-ned friend will find , it is equally true that Frnest Jones is a poor man . It 13 said that Ernest J q . e 8 has received payment for his advocacy of the wishes and sentiments of these men . Gentlemen , I a _ m instructed to hurl b 2 ck the defendant ' s rofutation of tbat statement , and declare to yoo , by all that is sacred , by all that is solemn , that he has never , since boyhood , received one single shilling for his advocacy of the opinions which fee haB felt it his duty durng his li'e to maintain . By the exercise of hiB talents he has taken the leadership of his fellow men—he has ca'led npon them to maiafain the righfs
to which he contends they are entitled . How does it happen that the men who are at present members of the Cabinet achieved that lofty station ? I do rot vrhh to say anything against the Attorney-General , for I reBpect him too much to offend him ; but I would remind him , tha wtereit not for speeches such as these , he would rot this day fill the office of her Majesty ' s Attorney-General . I do not mean to say tbat he does rot fill that office wisely , and with credit to hiBBelf ; but I repeat , that were it not for the speeches of such men as Lord Grey—such men as Daniel O'Corjnell—but for the agitatien which they excited throughout the lengthand breadth of the kingdom , the Reform Bill would not hare been introduced and carried—Lord Grev wonld not
have formed a member of the Cabinet—the Whigs would riot have been in the ascendant , and my lenrned friend would net have filled the office of tne Qaern ' 8 Attorney-GeBerai in England . Gentlemen , they treat these men new with contempt . Did they treat them with contempt when they met in their Btrength in Spa-fields ? When they come forward to-day , you talk of insurrection and sedition . You then talked enly of the majesty of the people . The vox populi was , with you , the vox dei . What , then , does the AttorBey-General mean by Baying that there U not one law for the rich and another for the poor . This observation was perfectly called for , and 1 tfeink you will be of opinion with me , that it was perfectly just . My learned friend had , ia the
beginning of his address to you , recourse to a little figure of speech that I confess astonished me not a little . He said that be blushed to own that Ernest Jones was a member of the same profession . I think , gentlemen , you will agree with me , that it ia a loDg time since the Attorney-General blushed . I may say this , certaicly , I nevereaw him oa any occssion when he was required to blush fcr his own conduct . Let ub see whether thiB blash is called for or not . lie says tbat Jones knows the law—that he knows the rights of the people , and that he addressed to them topics of an exciting and dangerous character , and recommended tbem to organise , and to fall into bodies . Part ef this I am free to admit—part of it I am prepared to deny . It has been well Baid by Dr Johnson ,
'that a rash man can make more assertions in five minutes than & vrlse man caD explain in five hours ' My learned friend has asked you to look to the whole speech delivered by tbe defendant now before yon : and I ask yoa , gentlemen , to do the game . Ir you do so I think you wili find that the result is sot as the learned " Attorney-General would have you to believe , an advice- to the people to organise and to arm themselves . I hope to prove that n&t a single word in the whole of his speech will warrant such an inference . He does tell tbem to organise ; and I siy that all men would do well to organise when they seek to carry their poin's . It was not their object to procure any breach of the law , because that would rather frustrate them and their designs . They sought to obtain that attention to their claims from the hands of government , by the earns means
that had been uEed , jtime out of mind , by every political party in this country . My learced frieDd , the Atlomey . General , says tiat there are commotions in the manufacturing districts , lie may show that the same causes produce the same effects in all cases . He msy show tbat the people of Bradford , and Leeds , and Yorkshire might have felt , in the preisure of the times , that excitement which induced tcem ^ te try and compel the miniBtry to give them tbat which they conceive to be their rights , not by force of arms , but by the same means taken intbellouee of Commons itself , when one party , and one set of men , seek to obtain advantage over a rival party . Did yeu never hear or read that the Wbigs took advantage of the embarrassments of the Tories , as the Tories did in like manner of the Whigs , There is , in this particular cage at least , no difference batween them . There is no difference . It has been well said .
that the WhigB are nothing more norlewthanTones out of office . My learned friend siys that Jones can have no sympathy with this class of persons , because Jones is sot a labouring man . lie certainly is sot , in the ordinary acceptation of the words ; but we are not arrived at that pitch of social and of national depravity , that a man cannot be supposed to act from impulse of patriotism ? Have we eome to the conclusion that no man can stand up to advocate the repeal of public miseries , without some base and mercenary motives being imputed to him—without its being laid dr > wn that he has some base and mercenary objects in view ? If that is so , what was your object when you called the people together to pass tbe Reform Bill ? What was the object of the Anti-Corn Lw L aguei > kh their great meetings in the
north , and in Covent-Garden f What do you mean when yon address yonr constitueats from the . huBtings—when you place your hand upon your heart and say , with all the appearance of truth , at least that you go to the House of Commons to promote , the public weal . Ib it all humbug—all selfishnessall lying asd deceit ? If it ia not so , why do you venture to draw these- conclusions of Ernest Jones . If Heaven hes planted in the heart of man healthy and eood impulses , vhat matters it whether Ernest Jones is a poor man himself , or that he is called forth to advocate tho cause of those who would be otherwise friendless and powerle 3 s , and left without hope or stay in their cheerlets destitutienl But , again ,.

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC . PROGRESS OP THE C ' JUHIER REVOLUTION . The ne » v government , or , more prjperly speaking , the Minister of Publio Instruction , sustained a signal defeat on Wednesday evening in the National Assembly . A decree was brought forward byM . Carnofc , demanding a credit of one million of francs towards tbe expense of the teachers in the primary sohoels . Upon this , M . Bonjean rose and attacked the principle upon which the Minister of Public Instruction bai conducted hia department Bince the 24 th of February ; and in support of the charges which he brought against M . Carnofc of disseminating false and dangerouB principle ? , he quoted pome extracts from a werk entitled' The Republican Manual of the Man-and the Citizen , ' a small work published under tho auspices ot th 9 Minister , and distributed by his own ar . d at the expense of the State among all the schoolmasters in Franca . _ Thfi following is the explanation given of the duties ol
man as citiz ? n : — ScfloJsr : Can ypa tell me what is tha firat duty o man t Teacher ; Tke first duty ot man Is to live , In the game way that it is the fim duty of his equals , and of each to furnish the other with the meaQB of living . In ths chapter with respect to property , the following question and answer are given : — Scholar : Do any means exist of preventing the rich from being idle , and the poor from being eaten up fcy the rich ? (• ct les pauvres d ' etre manges par lea riches ! ' )
Teacher : Yes , there exist means , and excellent ones , which will be found by tho directors of tha Republic , when they will csrry into practioe seriously the dogma of fraternity . It is the same with property and the free uae of capital , as with all other liberties . The law wblcb recognises tbem can and must be confined within certain limits . Without destroying tbo right of herU tage , it can be limited for tbe public benefit ; and withoat suppressing the interest of capital , many measures can be taken to make it much lees than people would wish . In that woy Idlemss will be difficult for tbe rlcb ,
ami tbe poor wlU easily find credit in order to enrich themselves , The low can imp se all eorts of conditions ) on those who have lands , andean even assume the ri ^ to expropriate them on giviDg en Indemnity , if tnoy make a bad use of them . As regards these great proprietors , wkora you havo reason to fear , know tbat if tbe ; paid a proper amount of Impo 9 t to the Stats , and good w&geato their labourers , tbe most of them would see themselves under the neeessity of selling their lands to citizens who would make a better use of them than they do . Laws will be made for this purpoio whenever we
wish . In the chapter with respect to labour , it is laid doT > n that the libcrly of industry has produced deadly warfars amorg tha labouring classeB , and to have given Francs a new aristocracy more dangerous than the first . Scholar ! The Republic , then , has the right of interfering in the conditions of labour , and in the regulation of prices and wages . Teacher : Without sny doubt it has the right and ererciBea it in tbe name of tbe people The Republic , in insuring liberty to commerce and industry acquire ! by tbat fact , tho right of submitting that liberty to all sorts of csnditions drawn from the common interest ; that is what is called tbe Organisation of Labour . Scholar : Givo me an idea of that organisation ?
Teacher : All that I can tell you is , tbat It is founded upon two things : —1 st . The organisation of labourers . 2 d . The regulation of trade snd indastry by tbe lawo of the Republic . But it is a subject upsn which I ahnll ga ; no more at present . It is cot necessary to make you bo learned . As regards the family , the teacher declares that the Constituent Assembly can inquire : •—If the Republican regime ef equality and liberty cannot add something to the rights of woman in the family ; if in the interest of marriage itself it is not good that divorce should be established , and if the tax levied on the transmission of property by heritage could not be regulated more equitably in tbe common interest ef tho republic and famllieB . The teacher thus excuses the Republic : —
If the Republic bave committed some acts of violence , it was provoked . to It by tbe audacity of traitors and tbe universal coilition of nobles and Megs ; but she ha » been so little cruel , tbat she has never made those suffer nhom she put to death . The MieUter of Public Instruction spoke in justification of hi 3 administration , but the violent exclamations of JbeAfsembiy showed its disapprobation of the doctrines which he had assisted to disseminate . M . Bofrjean then rose and proposed , avowedly as showing the disapprobation of the Assembly , that 5000 francs should be deducted from the sum demanded . This proposition gave rise to a frightful tumult , which lasted a considerable time , but at length the Assembly divided upon Ihe question , when the numbers were for M . BoDJEan'sproposition , 314 ; against it , 303 ; leaving a majority of eleven against the Ministry .
After auch a vote , it wsb impossible that M . Caraot fibouid remain in tffi-e : and , accordingly , in the Momtecs of this [ day the following decree appears • — French Republic—In the name of ( he French people . Tbo President of the Council charged with the executive power detcrmiBcs : The Citizen Vaulabelle is appointed Minister of Pablie Instrnction , in place of tbe Citizen Carnot , whose resignation is accepted . Tfce Presldfat of tbe ConnclJ , Cataionac . The Minister of Justice , Bethmont . Paris , July 5 , 1848 . The fallowing description of the ensemble of measures ior keeping the workmen in subjection iB from the Debats :
In the committee of war M . de Remilly haB proposed the concentration of a force of fifty thousand men round Paris , This is a wise precaution , for the surest way to pr > . veat bloodshed is to take every chance of success from those misguided men who would attempt it . With this vlan the representative ! of tho people wao hold a meeting iu tbe Rue de Polctiere , and wbich now forms the most numerous fraction of the chamber , from the adhesion of many fresh mtmbirs , have conceived a set of measures calci ^ Uted to secure the tranquillity of the capital , and hence of tbe whole of France , and almost of Europe ,
Ths measures wbich have been proposed by M Tbiers , are tbe follorfi / g : —The 'first oohbIbis in disgolting tho national m-rkfchops , by giving to the work , men out of employment aBBittancc at tb&ir own houses ; by offering to others work adapted to their profession , such as clothing for the troops to tbe weavers , tailors , ghofniakrrs , &c . ; artillery waggons to men accustomed to that business ; works on tbe fortifications of Havre , Cherbourg , and other parts of tho coast , to carpenters snd masons , who are now so numerous is Paris ; in a word , to give croplojment whtre poEsibla to the men of the ateliers , and to relieve thoEe for whom work could not b 9 found .
Tno second measure was the complete disarming of tbe ioeurgent quarters ; the third , tbo maintenance in Paris , orcloaoto the walls , of a force of tbe line of at least sixty thousand men ! To these measures were added two others , tending to prevent civil war by suppressing the cBuees wbieh lead to it—it was to close the clubs temporarily , reserving to tne constitution to regulate tbo rfehe of associatien , and to put a limit te the freedom of the press , and prevent offesces against tociety , such » b provocation to civil war , pillage , murder , provocations of wbich certain journals have been gollky by publlsklnp , for instance , every day in Paris , the list of tboae Inba . bitsnts who wire supposed to possess the Best property .
All good citizens mutt see with satisfaction that a part of those measures are in accordance with tbe views of the Executive and tho Assembly , the aUlicrs nationauz are already in course oi dissolution , and several bills are in preparation for affording employment to tho worlt . men , Tbe disarming ia being effected , and already more than one hundred thousand ruusketo bave been returned into the government depots . A large military force la being concentrated round Puria , independently of the Garde Mobile and the Gardo Republlcaine , there are forty . flve thousand infantry of the line , and ten thousand artillery , engineers , and cavalry . This dli-P Uy ef force will show tha folly of any frash attempt it disorder .
THS IATB INSURRECTION—BXPKCTATIBN OF AHOTHEB
STRUGGLE . ] The Gazette des Tbibunaux sayEThere bave been found upon one of the insurgents ( Sufficient svtfencea cf the means by which it was intended that the insurrection Bhould reach the National Assembly . The chiefs of the barricades were to assemble in the Q isrti r Saint Lazare , near the railroad . They were to cut off the Rue du Havre and tho Rue du Tronchet , and having made themselves masters of the barracks of the Atsumption , cut off also the Rub NationaJe ( Royale ) snd thtnee menace the Assembly , while other columns were to advance upon It , with the same eyslem of barricades , at the Piace de Bourgogne . But it appears that the alertness with which tho 1 st , 2 nd , and 10 th Legions turned out and mustered , prevented thelnaurrection Jrom commencing its attack at these different points at the H . ma time us In the Quartlera PohsOBnkrfl , St AntOlnS ,
and St Jacques . The Momteur de l'Abmee says—In no battle ef the Republic or the empire , with the exception of Ike battle Of MOSCOW , tho EBOBi BflDguiDBIJ of modern times , were w many geneiale and superior officer * killed and wounded as iu the foOT days of tha late Insurrection in Paris , In which four generals we * e killed and Beven wounded . At the law battle of Aroole , which lasted three days , only one general was killed and els woundod ; at MareHgo only one geaeral IoaJ hlB lif » , and four only were wounded .

Their friends and auooiateB may net be able to effect their relea « e by toree , say the alarmihts , ' but they are capable of fearful acts of revenge . ' The following ia from the correspondent of the Mornikg Chronicle :-There is a very strong and general opinion entertained here , among the parties best informed upon the aubject , that the working classes although completely put down for the present , will soon rise again , and that a still greater battle is before us than the terrible one in which tho cause of order has bo fortunately been the victor . Similar forebodings having come from the same quarters before , and having turned out to be but teo correct , we are the more ready to attach credit to them now . Certain it is , that the working classes about Paris
nre m a state of great exasperation ; that they declare themselves to have been betrayed ( by whom ?) , and that they are far from giving up their cause aa rumea . ihe common expre 3 sion among them at ihe SWr " ' ' We 8 ha ! 1 nOt ™ ° "W the MXt month ; but before three months vm we shall be TJ tT ? ^ the !»»• "««•« .

. The fact is that the measures taken by tho government for the suppression of the ateliers nationauxcame rather unexpected , and precipitated matters . You are already aware that , according to tha most probable computation , the number of conspirators who actually fought at the barrcadeB waB about 50 , 000 ; but out of that number the proportion coming from the ateliers nationaux did not exceed 15 000 , Tbw I learn from one who has tho very best means of knowing the fact , and who declares tbat the next movement ( which , whatever time it may break out , is , in his opinion , certain ) will be joined by more than three tiracB that number .
ARRRST OF A TRAITOR . Park , July 6 th . — Majtr ConBtr . ntin , one of the othoers charged with tha investigation cf the facts connected with the conspirnoy of " June , had been arrested . He was interrogating one of the insurgents , and treating him somewhat harshly , when the Jaiter a * ked him if he was not M . dmetantin , who was to be appointed Minister o ! War hud the insurrection succeeded , and whorepoiiedly came to encourage them at the barricades , dressed in a blouse and ° a casquette . M . Constatitin attemp ' ed no defence , and several other insurgents having recognised him , and confirmed the statement ot thtir comrade , the Colonel presiding over the Council of War ordered him to be arreBted . M . Conatantin , inhabited the iaubourg St Antoine , and was chief of the Cabinet of the MiniBtry of War under General Subervie .
SBJZURB OF ARM 3 , Some tumult took place yesterday at the Faubourg St Autoine on the occasion of searching sr . me hou es and the seizure of arms , and it was deemed advisable to support tbe authorities with a detachment of troops ef the line . One of the distressing features of the state of the public raind is the violence of the women . Seeing three women arrested , I ii . quired the cause , and was informed by the by-slanders tbat they bad been uttering the most sanguinary thread against the National Guards . The soldierj are become very reserved when they have prisoners under their charge , d it ' know the
an they cause of arrest refuse to atatcit . I met with such refusal on making inquiry respecting two men , who had evidently made great resistance . The patrols ; ast night were sfn nger than the previous night . Between twelve and one this morning I heard the report of single and simultaneous musket shots , ai ) d I learn that Borne of the late insurgents , who had concealtd i . hemsslves in and about the quariea of Montmarlreand vicinity , had attacked a small post , which had been compelled to give way , but falling back and receiving assiBtauce , the assailants had been overcome , after the loss of Borne of their bedy .

The Paris papers of Sunday announce the death of another'distinguished iffioer , General Duvivier . ' General Duvivier was esteemed one of the bravest ceDersli of tbe army oi Africa , ' says our correspondent . ' He was wounded on the 25 th ult-, at the entrance of the Faubourg St Antoine , and died yesterday morning at the Military Jlpspital of the Val de Grace . It appears tbat he disregarded his wound at the commencement , but kflammatii n and fever set in , and ultimately leck-jaw , which terminated his very brilliant career m the fifty . foutth year of his age .

Monday . —I am sorry te say that nothing can be imagined worse than the situation of this capital at present . We have many thousand exasperated fanatics swarming in every part of it . There are now now nearly 15 , 000 insurgent prisoners distributed through the prisons and ' maisons d ' arret' of the capital , but more especially in the detached forts with which Paria is surrounded ,. The environ !) of these detached forts abound with insurgents lying in ambuscade , who omit no ' opportunity of firing upon all parties who communicate with these prisons , and not a day or ni < hc passes that lives are not taken in this way . Six national guards are now lying dead ,
assassinated at Remainviile . Even the streets of the capital cannot be said to be safe , one cannot walk through them without feeling that one is at tbe mercy of tbe insurgent assassin . Meanwhile , even the arbitrary power with which the exeoutivo is in-Vested ia insufficient to repress theaudacious attempts of journals of suoialism and the Red Republic . The recent open attacks on every principle of order , and on the assembly itself , the result of universal suf frage , and the most barefaced apologies for the late insurrection , appear daily in the columns of La Rkfoumb , Lb Phuple Coksiiiuant , and Lb Re-PRESENTANT DU PeIPLK .
With all his firmness and energy Genera ] Cavaignao is still a democratic Republican , and it is not without difficulty tbat his eyes can be opened to the disastrous comequonceB of the abuses of the press . An arHcle appeared on Saturday id tbe Rgprisentant dc Peuplk , containing an attack on the Assembly . A meeting was held yesterday of the moderate party ; a deputation from which was sent to lay this article before the chief ei the exeoutive power , and to afk what measures were proposed to be taken in consequence . The result h&B been tbat the Rbpheobntaut dv Pbdplb was suppressed by order oi General Cavaig&ac this morning .
Meanwhile , however , M . Prurihon has put forth in the co umns ot the Reformb the draft of a project of deoree which he says tho Assembly oupht to be ordered to pas ? , a decree confiscating one-third of the revenue of all proprietors cfevtry sort for three years in favour of the state and the tenants , one half to go to the state and the other half to the tenants , It will be recollected that M . Prudhonis the author of a work whose text ia that ' Property is robbery , ' The Reprbsentast » u People , suppressed today , SB ) s that tho late outrages oi the insurgents was merely the result of a generous impatience to accomplish , at a single step , and without transition , ail that wondrous distance tbat separatee our egotistical sooiety from unity . ( From the Horning Chronicle , )
The vast number of persoos implicated in the recent insurrection who crowd the prisons of Paris at the present moment is a source of great embarrassment to the government . According to a statement given by some of the beBt informed of the Paris papers , they amounted on Friday to above 14 , 000 persons , arid it is Baid tbat at ihe present day the number has increased to 16 , 000 . What is to be done with such a mass of human beings ? To keep them in prison is impaasible , ard to transport them to the colotiea is equally impossible . The only alternative , therefore , is to-let them once more loose upon society , and in the present state of fealing among the working claEses that alternative is a dangerous one . The Bien Public saj& that four extraordinary commbaionerfl are to be appointed for the trial of tho prisoners ' . Each commission is to bo composed of three civilians and three military men .
There are rumours afloat of a serious sobism between the puro-Republiean and moderate party in the government , which may possibly lead t 9 fresh changes . ¦ '
( From the Tme 3 . ) ' Every moment , ' Bayeoar private letters , ' new discovenea and new captures are made , not merely of combatants in the revolt , but of parties to the conspiracy which preoeeded it , and is which are compromised some peraons in high , station as well aa innumerable proies&ional mca .

rativriy few examples among tho common herd ol OjAbataiits will be mado but the conspirators and thechietg of the insurrection will bo severely dealt witll . Geaeral CavajRtac ha ? , it is true , declared himself against the pr nc pie of revenue biit he never iaconded suffering tho . e ' guilt / TaTclt cS either in tho conception and preparation of the re ' volt , or in the execution of their schemes , to escape wtth impunity . Transportation will be the genera ) punishment of chose who may be condemned , but capital punishment will not be omitted , No doubt existed that tbe partisans of the
liepublique Rouge were still tampering with the ouv ' ricrs . The terrors of the prison and the court-martial were " however , potent in preventing any open or general exercise of these functions . They were said to rely lor success upon the certainty that distress and missry from wane of employment would continue to augment until winter set in , and render the lower claaBe 3 desperate , when another revolt would inevi . ta , bly tske place . It was calculated that 120 , 000 men were asd would be destitute of employm- nt in Paris , and that , consequently , they would be an easy prey to the Cemmuniata and Socialists .
' It is not now believed , ' saya our correspondent , 1 that the insurgents poisoned , or hacked , or japged the balls , or projectiles th ? y discharged as has been charged . They made gunpowder , onet bullets , and repaired their arms with infinite dexterity , but necessarily in a hurry . I saw , some days since , in the hands of a distinguished member of the iloir-e of Commons , a pellet of tbe size and form of a woman ' s thimble , composed of zinc . It bore the impress of a thimble , having , no doubt , been east in one . It was probably the work of a woman . Its compositionzinc—argued a want of lead , which , for many reason ? , the insurgents would have preferred .
It appears that , although a portion of tbe ex-Montagnards joined the insurgents and fought with the utmost fury in their ranks , the new ' Republican Guards' distiaguiahed themsslves on the tide of the government . In consequence they have become to ihe insurgents as obnoxious as tha Mobiles . No soldier of either corps can preaent bimEelt with impunity outside the barriers . Everv day and night condiets take place iB the Wood of Romainville between refugee insurgents and the National Guard * . Last Friday six National Guards and a considerable number of insurgents are Baid to have fallen . The National Guard of Belleville was disarmed several days ago , but 4 , 000 muskets are still detained by Borne of the inhabitants , who , it is needless to any , are believed to have taken an active part in the insurrection .
KEA 90 K 9 OF PAEIS INSURGENTS FOR RISING . A morning journal contains a statement of one q $ tbe representatives who visited the barricades with a view to prevail on the insurgents to lay down theii arms . Ee says : — ' In the evening of the 28 d the Citizen Causaidiere was requestid by several of his fritnds to go with them to the camp of the insur gents , to assist in this mission of humanity . lie declined , assigning as a reason the decision of the Assembly , taken a few hours before . Wo arrived at halt past twelve at night , and , notwithstanding we had been assured at the barricades that we shoul !
havo full liberty to return after executing our mission , we were made prisoners by some of the insur gent » , who were drunk , and weie on the point , two or three times , of being shot . We had then an opportunity , having been compelled to remain with tbem for eleven hours , to hear their real sentiment " , and the cause of the war they waged . On asking them why they ibtigbt , some replied , ' To havt « ork ! ' Some said , ' For an association of ouvriers . " Some , who appeared to be the leaders , said . ' We wil ! have the organisation of Lou'is Blanc ! ' ' Vive Lcuia Blanc ! ' shouted the crowd , he is the only one who will not deceive us : '
ANOTHER STRTJGGLB . The telegraphic signals , whieh serve to unite the insurgents , continue all over Paris on a most extensive scale . There are at least 100 , 000 men ready whenever the next signal bo given . They have no faith in the republic ruled by monarchists . Monday Evbbino —Last night an additional seizure of newspapers was effected by order of General Cavaignac . The Peuple Constituent , of whieh tbe Abbe Laraennaia i * editor , and the Represbntant du Pecfle , whiohis edited by M .

This morning a deputation of
the members of the club of tho Ruo de Poictiers , which , as you are aware , is composed almost en tireiy of the old Monarchical Opposition in the Chamber of Deputies , waited upon General Cavaignac a&d the Ministers , and represented to them tbe danger to which the social decttines , advocated by some of the ultra Republican papers , exposed the public tranquillity , and they pointed out especially the article in wbich the Refkbsbmtant du Peuplb endeavoured to set tho tenants of houses against the landlords , and the farmers against tbe proprietors . Giiieial Cavaignac replied that he was quite aware of the danger alluded to , and that orders had already been given for the suppression of M . Proudhon ' s journal , in wbich the article in question had appeared .

ALARMING STATE OF PAEIS , Monday Night . —Yesterday , in the midst of the noon- 'ay , in the Ruede Richelieu , one of the most populous tlioroaghlares of Paris , a p-ivate of the Garde Mobile was shot dead from a window . Tbe house was searched immediately , but the assassin could not be discovered . Tbo environs of Mont Rouge , one of the detaohed forts outside the fortifica' . ions , to the south of the capittl , are alive with men . who lie in ambush-and fire upon all who approach when opportunity offars . The lives which are taken in this way are much more numerous than comes to the knowledge of the public . Is it not the interest of commerce or the press that these things should be known ?
Notwithstanding the general popularity of the President of the . National Assembly , there was not forty people at his first ' reception . ' The example of the secretary of the queBtorship , Bhot by a senti nel ob the Place de la Concorde , at eleven o ' clock at night , makes people prefer to stay at home . Yesterday , from four hundred to five hundred unemplojed workmen deseended the Faubourg de Roule and tbe Faubourg St Ilonore in the mos ; furious manner , uttering terrible imprecations , declaring they were without labour or bread , tbat they had been basely entrapped and deceived by the gOFernment and the revolution , and threatening vengeance . The National Guard ef the quarter were called out , and the band was driven baok to the barrier .

Citizen Trousseau next asked General CaTaignao if it was his intention to continue much louger the atate of siege , nnd the suspension of the journals tfhose presses had been placed under sequestration . General Cavaignac felt so energetically supported by public opinion that he did not he-it , ¦ jie to declare that tho state of siege should be still maibtained for some time .

General Cavaiqnac , in reply , repeated that the moment the government felt itself sufficiently armed against a portion of thepresp , it would relax tbe rigour oi the state of siege as respected the j-urnals . it had thought proper to revive the ir < w of 1830 ; it O .

SPAIN . THE CAELIST MOVEMENT . The lateEt dates from the Spanish fron . ier 3 state that the Carlistshad msdegreat pngre' -s in Navarre ; the town of Estella having pronnucced in thtir fayeur . The town of E&tellais only Eecosd in im 'Ortanca to Pamplouna . In tbe Basque Provinces the msvement ha 3 been crippled by the death of General A . 'zaa , who was shot on the 3 rd inat . Navarre has been declared in a state of sifge . Gen . Elio has issued a proclamation to the inhabitants of Navarre and the Basque provinces ' , which ia in substance the same as that ot Cabrera .
Madrid , July 4 . —Intelligence of mournful imnortance has been received by te ' egraph from tho Basquo provinces . The young and distinguished Carlist General , Alzaa , haa been taken prisoner aT ! d « hot . Ha was captured at Za'divia , a village near ' ^ olosa , by the Commandment of the Civic Guard of Guipuzoca , and put to death at eight o ' clock yesterday morning . No more is known . From his instant executicn , we may gather the nature of tho orders which the commandera of the government forcea havo received in those provinces . All Carliat officers caught in arms against the Queen will be shot ; and of course bloody reprisals will be used by the in * ' . urftents , bo that an internecine war , no longer between the government and hore ' ea of banditti , as during tbo past year in Catalonia , but with the great authentic body of the CarJiat party , may be said already to hare commenced .
The ministerial papers do not cease to ascribe the Monteraolinist rebellion wfrch has opened bo tragicall y to the machinat . ens of Lord Palmerston and the intrigue of the English . Under the . e circumstances , if tho war should tako an unfortunate turn for tha government ! I suspect tbat Madrid will not prove as agreeable residence ftr cur countrymen . Cabrera had penetrated within four leagues of BareAlona , pasainK between La Garriga aed Cardeden . When the intelligence ol his movement was received in the Catalonian capital two-thirds of the garrison sallied out , under tke command of Gen . Boigucz , so that the troops r ^ maining ing Bareeloca were insufficient to do the duty required . Two companioj had to come down from Morjuich , arid tho mule artillery had to turn out as guard at many posts , so that if any revolutionary elements remain in that city tha moment favours their explosion . Oiher letters in tha same paper speak of the beard of conspirators at Perpignan under the presidency of Amettler .

A provisional government will be named in common for the two duchies ( the junction of which is recognised )—this government to consist of five members , of whom two will be nominated by either power , and the fifth by the other four . In the case of an ; misunderstanding , the fifth member is to be elected by England . No member of the present provisional government or of the former central one is eligible . ITALY .
