YOU MAY BE CURED YET ! IIOLLOWAY S ~ OINTMENT . CURE OF RHEUMATISM AND RHEUMATIC GOUT . Extract of a Letter from Mr . Thomas Brunton , Landlord of the Waterloo Tavern , Coatham , Yorkshire , late of the Life Guards , dated September L'Sth , 1848 . Sib , —For a long time I was a martyr to Rheumatism and Rheumatic Gout , and for ten weeks previous to using four medicines I was so bad as not to be able to walk . I liad tried doctoring and medicines of every kind , but all to ; io avail , indeed I daily got worse , and felt that I must shortly die . From seeing your remedies advertised in the [ laper I take in , I thought I would give them a trial . I did > o . I rubbed the ointment in as directed , and kept cabbage leaves to the parts thickly spread with it , and took the Tills night and morning * . In three weeks I was enabled to walk about for an hour or two in the "day with a stick , and in seven weeks I could go anywhere without one . I am now , by the blessing of God and your medicines , quite well , and have been attending to my business for more than seven months without any symptoms of the return of my old complaint . Besides my case of Rheumatic Gout , I have lately hail proof that youv Pills and Ointment will heal any old wound or ulcer , as a married woman , living near me * had had a bad leg for four years , which no one could cure , and I gave her some of your Pills and Ointment , which soundly healed it when nothing else would do it . For your information I had tlie honour to serve my country for twenty-five years in the first regiment of Life Guards * and was eighteen years a corporal . I was two years in the Peninsula War , and was at the liattle of Waterloo . 1 was discharged with a pension on the 2 nd of September , 1833 . The commanding officer at the time was Colonel Lygon , who is now a General . I belonged to the tvoop of Cap . turn the iron .

JRAKCE . THE BBDGM . . The Budget of war just presented to the Assembly , presents a diminution of 76 , 1 ll , 450 f . The effective of the army , which , on the 1 st of December , 1848 . amounted to 502 , 196 men and 100 , 432 horses , will he reduced by 121 . 372 men and , 8 , 022 torses , and would make a total at the end of this year of only 380 , 824 men and 92 , 410 horses of which 78 , 000 men and 15 , 490 horses are to be emloyed in Algeria . The budget of marine is
dip minished by 22 , 073 , 029 franc * . The actire fleet to bs composed of 10 ships , of which two with floating battery : 8 frigates , 18 corvettes , 24 brigs , 12 transports , and 24 schooners and cutters , manned by 20 . 000 seamen . Besides these , there will be two vessels and five frigates , en dixporibilite de rade , and 8 ships and 10 frigates in prt commission . The steam vessels belonging to the active fleet ¦ wou ld be composed of 10 frigates , 12 corvettes , and 34 avisos . Besides these 21 vessels , of which 9 frieates , 6 corvettes , and 6 avisos , would remain in
port commission . THE aUESTION OF THE ASSEMBLY ' S ADJOURN
MENT . On Thursday M . Grevy presented the report of tlit committee on XL Rateau's proposition for the dissolution of the Assembly . M . Grevy said that the proposition submitted to the committee had a doable object—to have the present Assembly disso l ved , and the election of the Legislative Assembly proceeded to in the month of March . The majority of the committee had come to the conclusion that it ought not to accede to either object . ( A gitation . ) The committee was of opinion that ths Assembly was called on to watch over the first steps of the Republic—that it had the task before it of string that in the midst of the struggles of parties inseparable from a new order of govtrcmeat , the Republic suffered no damage .
Besid e * in presence of the language employed by the ministry , the committee thought that the Assembly couM not separate—( agitation)—as the proposition demanded . ( Renewed agitation . ) lu addition , the intimidation , and moral violence exhibited in ness , papers , and by petitions —( great uproar)—was another powerful reason with it not to yield to the demand made on it . The petitions , however , ought not to bs considered of too muca weight , as up to this moment only 173 , 000 signatures had been appended to those presented . Yet the object of them was clearly to abrogate the authority placed in the Rational Assembly by the mandate committed to it . For these reasons the committee recommended the Assembly not to take the proposition in consideration . ( Great agitation . ) Monday next was fixed for the discussion .
PERSECUTION IT THE REPUBLICANS . TN . -i government has transmitted orders to all the depa- > ments to proceed without delay to the drawing f-n the national jury which ib to sit in the high couri of justice for the trial ef Barbes and his accomplices . The functions of legal prosecutor will le es . » .-rcised by M . Baroche , procureur-generai of the Cuurt of Appeal at Paris . Tlic Monileur contains the decree for the convocation of the High National Court for the trial of the offenders of the 15 th May , within forty days , on or before the 6 th of March . A letter from Citizen Thore announces that a
protest against sending the persons accused of being Concerned in the affair of May 15 , before the National High Court of Justice , is being signed in the faubourgs , and at the offices of the various democratic journals . The patriot Barbes has addressed the following letter to several of the ultra-republican journals : — ' Donjon de Vincennes , Jan . 23 . Citizen Editor —As it is a common-place truth that in politics one 13 always tried by one's enemies , I had intended since my arrest to defend myself infinitely little , iefora whatever tribunal I might be sent . The ¦ decree for emploving the arm of the High Court of
"Eonri'fs against the accused of May does not change much my determination . There , as elsewhere . I shall protest against the verdict of vengeance of a party appealing from the sentence of proscription ¦ whi ch awaits me to the justice of the people , who iave annulled many other sentences , and who will always proclaim—my affection for them makes me Bare of it—that 1 am a good citizen . It is not then precisely for my own sake that I now raise my voice against the decision of the Assembly—it is on account of the wrong which it does to those of my co-accused who had every certainty of being
'Bcqriuted by a j ury . "With that exception—ma foi ! so miv-b the better ! When so many other brave citizens pats lefore courts-martial , it would have been repugnant to me not also to enjoy the advantage of some exceptional jurisdiction ; and since it is not known how to give us any other equality than that of condemnations by commissions , it is at rleast something we are gratified with that—with I suppose the hulks at the end for the representatives -of t 5 ie people as for the poor represented , whom the genl' - ; =: ien of the monarchial castes call , when they . are not afraid of them , tie canaille . "
On Wednesday , Citizen Bernard condemned by the Court of Ass i zes to a year ' s imprisonment and 500 f . fine , for having , as a member of the bureau of the Club de Chateau des Brouillards , allowed a person , named Debonnard to deliver a speech , ' exciting French citizens to hatred of each other . ' Duponey , another of the club staff , was tried for the same offence , but acquitted . Debonnard did not appear , and was sentenced by default to three years ' imprisonment and l , 000 f . fine . The club was in the meantime ordered to be closed .
The Club of Fraternity , which holds its sittings in the Rue Martel , Faubourg Pcissonniere , under the presidentship of M . Bonnard , and which was noted for the nltra opinions professed in it , was dosed on Thursday by order of the Minister of the Interior . At seven o'clock a commissary of police , accompanied by several guardians of Paris , entered and summoned the President to terminate the fitting . After a protest against such conduct the President and bureau withdrew , as did about 500 persons who were present . Some precautions had been taken outside by the authorities , as a battalion of the 5 th Light Infantry occupied the end of the street .
Another dub , which held its sittings in the Hue Grenelle , St . Honore , was also closed on Thursday . The government also prevented the opening of a new club , intended to have been inaugurated by the members of the' Mountain . '
SIGN'S OF AN APPROACHING STRUGGLE . ( From the Correspondent of the Times . ) Paris , Friday Evening . —Considerable alarm prevails everywhere to-day , and the opinion seems to be universal that we are fast approaching to a crisis . As the moment for the discussion on M . Grevy ' s report comes ob , the public anxiety increases ; and there appears to be no alternative , in case of its approval by the National Assembly , but the retirement of the Cabinet or a coup d ' etat . The former would , in all probability , be immediately followed by the accession of the men of the Red Republic to power , and the latter by an attempt at insurrection .
The importance of the present momentous crisis \ ri \\ be appreciated hy the fact , that several of the Republican party , who hitherto declared themselves opposed to hostile manifestations , and counselled peaceful agitation , have all of a sudden changed their tone . Menaces of the most violent kind are uttered not only against the Moderates , but against the person of the Chief of the State himself . Le Teitjjle , the organ of M . Proudhon , in an article of much violence , has , amongst ether things , the following ;—
• Behold him , then , this President ! he who OHght to exert every nerve towards the strengthening of our Republican institutions , but -who , by his apathy and bis intrigues , and scattering around him corruption and despair , is incessantly occupied in the disorganisation of the Republic . Behold him , this equivocating Republican , who complained of being calumniated , and who drives from their places all true Republicans , and hands over prefectures , the
bench , &c , to horde * of reactionists , to monarchist ^ proved through thirty years of treason ! For him even the Republicans ^ the morrow are of too somfcre a colour . Absolutists by race and of the old stock are the men for him . Louis Bonaparte has set on foot the question of the dissolution of the Assembly . Very good ! Monday next , the Assembly will , in its turn set on foot the question of the dismssal of the President '
The article concludes thus : — "Let us wait , pa tnots J Let us wait now more than ever , and now more than ever calm and patient ! The National Assembly Will itself , and alone , complete the revolu tion Our woes will soon be over . The President ™ vl \ say ' - themoa ^ . v , corruption , falsehood prmlfge , caprice , and the exportation of capital ' fcaye l ^ ecoaae impossible . ' p '

——^~——* ¦ POPULAR PROTEST AGAINST TH » MOCK T » IAL OF THE REPUBLICAN CHIBFS . The Socialist papers publish the following protest against the dZZ 7 o ( the National As ^ mbl ^ endm ? B ^ rbes and his associates for trial before the High ^ talu ' cStVhTdecree voted by the Assembly on the 22 nd January , on the proportion of the President and of the Ministry , removes the accused of May from their natural judges-as the High Court is a political and exceptional tribune instituted
six months after the fads of the 15 th of Mayinasmuch as this decree attacks rights anterior and superior to the positive law recognised in the Consiitution itself—the people of Paris protest against sending the accused of May before the exceptional tribunal of Bourges . They implore the prisoners of Vincennes to reject that political and retrospective jurisdiction , and to abstain from every collective or individual defence . They request the accuaed who are contumacious not to surrender themselves to he tried by the enemies of the
Republic ' PROPOSED ATROCIOUS LAW AGAINST THE CLUBS . National Assembly , Friday , Jak . 26 . M . Leon Faucher , Minister ef the Interior , announced that he had been directed ly the President of the Republic to present a project of decree against clubs . The Assembly , he said , had already enacted severe penalties with a view to repress excesses and remove dangers alarming to society . It would have even pronounced more serious enactments , and prohibited dabs altogether , if it had not hoped to be able to restrain them by its law of the 28 th of July . The experiment of the last six months was
decisive , and the insufficiency of the law was now demonstrated ta the least clear-sighted . The government had ordered £ number of clubs to be closed in the capital and the departments , and denounced the offenders to the tribunals . It had exerted itself to defeat the machinations of the anarchists , and to reassure the honest and peaceable citizens . Those dubs , closed on one point , were re-opened on another . It was impossible for a regularly consti . tuted government to tolerate any longer the expression of doctrines and passions calculated to dissolve
society . In the clubs hatred and rebellion were preached under every form . They were the hotbeds of secret societies , and both lent each other mutual support . It was impossible that confidence could be restored whilst clubs were permitted to exist . la a country enjoying liberty of the press and public discussion , and where Universal Suffrage was the foundation of the government , there was no possible pretext for the establishment of clubs . In this conviction the President of the Republic had directed the Cabinet to submit the following bill to the deliberation of the National Assembly ;—
Art . 1 . Clubs are interdicted . Every meeting , held periodically or at irregular intervals , for the discussion of public affairs shall be considered as a club . ' Art . 2 . The presidents , chiefs , secretaries , &c . of such meetings shall be sentenced to a fine of from lOOf . ta 500 f . to deprivation of civil rights during a year at least and three years at most , independently of the other penalties they may have incurred . ' Art . 3 . Individuals who shall lend their houses or apartments for such meetings shall be sentenced to a fine of from lOOf . to 500 f . ' Art . A . All the provisions of the law of 38 th of July Itst , relative to clubs , are abrogated .
The Minister afterwards observed that it was urgent that the bill should immediately come under discussion , and be referred to the bureaux with the least possible delay . Several members cried OHt ' To-morrow , to-morrow ; ' when M . Gent ascanded the tribune , and protested against the bill as violating the first liberty recognised by the Constitution . He knew the avers i on of ministers to the right of meeting , but did not believe that they would have dared to present such "a law to the present Assembly . ( Cries of 1 Order , order ! ' ) He accordingly called on his colleagues to reject without discussion a bill contain , ing an attempt against the 8 th article of the Constitution .
The Assembly , however , on heing consulted , referred the bill to the bureaus , and decided that a report on the urgency of its discussion should be presented to it on Saturday . [ Mark ! this atrocious law is reported to have been presented ly the direction of the President Take note of that , all you who put y # ur trust in princes . Leon Faucher is a great free-trader ;—the Cobden of France ! Take note of that also , you who are throwing up your caps for the ' model agitator ! ' —Ed . N . S . ] ALARMING STATE OP PARK .
Saturday Jan . 27 . Alarm and excitement prevail throughout the capital . —At twelve o ' clock a vast multitude was collected round the Pantheon , and shouts of 'Vive la Republique democratique et sociale / were heard , Most violent propositions were made by the leaders , who declared that the Assembly must he supported , that the ministry must be dispersed and driven from office , that the clubs must be defended and all attempts to close them resisted . The Peuple of yesterday was seized at the Post Office . This proceeding , however , appears to have in nowise discouraged the zeal of M . Proudhon , who returns to the attack to-day with the following article .
We said yesterday , * The struggle i 3 between the Nrtional Assembly and Louis Bonaparte . Louis Bonaparte has laid down the question of the dissolution of the Assembly . On Monday next theAsseinbly will lay down the question of the dismissal of the President . ' The Procureur of the Republic , a subaltern of the President of the Republic , has considered this judgment disquietingfor his superior , and has seized our number . Let him seize this also for we cannot refrain from saying , ' The fiction of royal inviolability was abolished by the constitution of December 4—the President of the Republic is responsible . ' Yes , and it is not we who say it—it is the force of things ; on Monday a decisive battle
will take place between the revolution and the counter-revolution—between the revolution , represented by the National Assembly—and the counter-revolu . tion represented by Louis Bonaparte . Is it impossible to deny this ? If the Assembly were dissolved the counter-revolution would meet with no more obstacles : the canstitution would be destroyed—two chambers would be re-established—the inviolability and re-eligibility of the President would be declared —his civil list would be increased ten-fold—monarchy be restored—corruption reconstructed—and the people again enchained ; On the contrary , Louis Bonaparte conqnered , having resigned or being dismissed , the counter-revolution would be cast down—all its hopes be ruined irrevocably and for
ever . DEMOCRATIC PROTEST AGAIXST THE NEW T 7 KASE . The Reforme publishes the following protest of the Republican journalists against the bill for the suppression of clubs : — The undersigned , considering that the right of meeting and association i 8 a natural right , anterior and posterior to all positive law , and recognised , moreover , by the Constitution ; Considering that the law presented by the Ministry has not for its object to regulate the ' exercise 3 of that right as the Constitution requires , hut that it suppressed it in an absolute manner , and thus deprives the sovereign people of their most important political prerogatives ;
' Considering that the Ministry , by the mere fact of the presentation of that law , attacks both the Constitution and the natural rights of man ;—' Protest with all their energy , and call on the Assembly to impeach the Ministers who have dared to attempt that coup d ' etat . < ( Signed ) The Beforme .- —Charles Ribeyrolles , chief editor ; V .

Palace to hand a protest to M . Ledru Rollin against the reinstatement of M . L'Hernunere in the chair of legislation at the College of France . The ' questors , on being informed of their intention , had ordered the gates to be closed , and the garrison of the Palace "to take arms . One cf the officers of the Assembly went out to receive the petition from the hands of the students , who afterwards quietly ' retired . That deputation , it appears , had been sent forward by a body of about 1 .. 000 students , who bad
repaired to the office of the Democratic Pacifique , in the Rue de Beaune , to request its editor , MConsiderant , to insert their protest in that journal The young men were waiting in the court the result of their application when four gardiens de Paris arrived and proceeded to arrest the individual who acted as commander of the column . His comrades interfered , and rescued him from the hands of the gardiens , one of whom was severely beaten . A lame crowd had in the meantime assembled before
the house , and the porter deemed it prudent to close the gate . The alarm , however , had been spread through the quarter , and in a few moments two companies of infantry of the line occupied the extremities of the street , whilst another advanced and drew up in front of the house , the gate of which was opened to admit the captain , a detachment of his men , and some city sergeants , who proceeded to arrest twelve of the ringleaders , and permitted the remainder to depart . These formed into several bands , and returned to the Pays Latin , singing Down with Falloux' ( Minister of Public Instruction ) to the tune ' Des Lampions . *
PROSECUTION OF CITIZEN PROUDHON . The President : I have to inform the Assembly that a demand has been sent in by the Procureur of the Republic for authorisation to prosecute M . Proudhon , representative of the people , for two articles published by him in the Iteupfe , on January 26 th and 27 th . ( Great agitation . ) The Assembly formally acknowledges the receipt of the demand thus made by the Procureur General , and the bureaux will assemble to examine the question of the authorisation applied for .
M . Proudhon : CittonRepresentatives—I am anxious to protest at once against the accusation brought against me . I am the author of the article of January 26 th ; I had forgot to sig n it , but I accept all the responsibility of its contents . ( Loud approbation on the Left . ) The Assembly will decide what it pleases . For my part , I was aixious to bring forward in the press , as before the Assembly or the country , a question altogether novel for usthat of the responsibility of the President of the Republic . I will give explanations on the point before the committee , as before my bureau , rand , if necessary , in this tribune . ( Voices on the Left , ' Bravo ! bravo ! ' )
DEFEAT OF THE MINISTERS . M . Senard presented the report of the committee against the urgency of closing the clubs , maintaining that the question was an extremely difficult one , requiring much previous study , and that , therefore , the Chamber ought not to proceed precipitately ; M . O . Barrot , the President ofthe Council , spoke against the report and in favour of the urgency . M . Ledru Rollin s * I support the conclusions of the committee . The Ministry declares that the question when brought forward , ought to be resolved at once . But it is not the Cbamber which brought it forward , but the government ; if , therefore , there are some inconveniences connected with the question ,
the responsibility of them ought not to be imputed to the Assembly , which desires to examine the mea sure with due deliberation , but to the cabinet . As to ] the "right of the clubs to exist , it is laid down in the Constitution ; and I maintain that the Constitution ought to be respected in all its provisions . The whole question , therefore , amounts to thisdoes the Constitution authorise the suppression of the clubs ? The rights of meeting , of association , and of petition , are guaranteed by the Constitution . You say that they must be regulated , in the interest of public security . But is it to regulate a right to suppress its exercise altogether ? ( Loud approbation on the Left . ) By the bill , the clubs are not
regulated , but suppressed . There is also the press , which greatly displeases those who do not desire the light ; would you venture , under pretext of regulating it , to do away with it altogether ? ( Movement . ) A word now on the question of urgency . When the com . mittee , which has seen all the documents on which the Ministry founds its application , declares to you that there is no good reason fof urgency , can youthe Assembly , which has seen nothing , declare that the urgency ought to be granted ? ( Loud acclamation . ) I said just now , and I repeat it , that it is the very text of tbe Constitution that is designed to be annihilated . I maintain that there cannot be urgency for a bill which is the absolute negation of the Constitution . ( Agitation . )
1 MPEACIIMEXT OP MINISTERS . M . Ledru llollin ascended the tribune and said , I have the honour to present a demand to authorise . 1 bill of impeachment to be brought in against the Ministry ( laughter on the Right , agitation , loud applausc on the Extreme Left , which then voac with a cry of " Vive la Eupubliquo I" ) * A Voice on the Right : You ought also to impeach the President ofthe Republic , since he signed the bill . Several Voices ! Road the proposition ! It ought to be read ! The President : The sitting is at an end . Several Members on the Right : But you ought to read the proposition . ( Great agitation . ) The President : It is contrary to the regulations to do so ; besides , the sitting is over .
The Assembly then rose at half-past seven in indescribable agitation . The President : : Upwards of forty members having demanded the ballot , that course shall be proceeded to . The following was the result : — Ifumbor of voters 7 C 0 Absolute majority 381 For the conclusions ofthe committee 418 Against it 342 Majority —70 The Piiesidext : In consoqueneo , the question of urgency is rejected . The bureaux will be convoked for Monday to name a conimittoo on the bill . The result was received with loud cries from the
Left of " Vive la Republique !" The following is a copy ofthe proposition for the impeachment of the Ministry : — " Considering that the anti-republican policy of the ministry has just manifested itself by a fact which is an " attack upon the rights Of citizens and on the fundamental principle of the sovereignty of the people;—" Considering that the right of meeting is a natural ri g ht , and a political right written and consecrated in the Constitution of the French Republic;—" Considering that , by the project of law presented yesterday , the 2 Ctli of January , for the suppression of the clubs , the ministry have rendered
themselves guilty of an act which is a fragrant violation of Articles 8 and 51 of the Constitution ;—" Considering that the ministry is responsible for its acts , according to Article 68 ofthe Constitution ; the undersigned representatives of the people demand the immediate impeachment of the ministers , and their trial before the Hi g h Court ofthe Nation , to be there judged in conformity with Articlo 91 of the Constitution .

PROGRESS OF ALARM AND AGITATIOX . Paris , Jan . 28 th . — The correspondent of the Times writes : — " We received from those charged with"the preservation of the public peace assurances that it will not be disturbed ; but within the last twenty-four hours these assurances no longer , as before , bring conviction to the mind , "With respect to a hostile movement , I have already said tliat it was made to depend on , i certain contingency- that contingency being the adoption of the law for the sui ) pre 3 sion of the clubs . Such a motive no longer existing , it might he presumed that all fear of such an event ousrht naturally to vanish . Such , however ,
unfortunately , is not the case . The public mind , not many days since comparatively tranquil , has since Friday become much excited , and predictions of the gloomiest kind are announced . The only escape that seems possible is in the retirement ofthe Cabinet . Should a coup be attempted , and a demonstration be made from any quarter against the Assembly , it seems impossiblp that a collision of a most serious kind can be avoided , Should the Assembly triumph , there would be nothing extraordinary or unexpected in their undoing most of what has been done ; and , perhaps , instead of a , President and National Assembly , such as it is , wo may have a Convention .
The Journal du Peuple announces that it was seized again on Saturday . It publishes an address to the people , beseeching them to abstain " for the present" from all species of manifestation , to avoid collecting in crowds , but to suffer their representatives , to continue the course they have commenced ,

It tells them that the safety of the people and Of the Republic depends on their obedience . DISAFFECTION OF THE GARDE MOBILE—SYMPTOMS OF MUTIKT Jtf THE ABMr . The National states , that on Saturday General Changvirnier summoned the commanding officers of the twenty-five battalions ofthe Qarde Mobile to the Tuileries , to explain to them the measures about to be adopted with respect to a reduction of their corps . After some observations relative to the superior claims of the regular troops , he Baid , ' " I am told that the Garde Mobile are dissatisfied , and that they propose to meet to-morrow in the Champs Elysees . Let thorn take care ; if they stir , I will haw them sabred . " After some moments , during which the officers observed the most profound silence , General Changarnier ordered four of the ehiefs to be confined in the military prison of the Abbaye for one
month . This order produced some remonstrances on the part of the officers , when the General rang a hell , and a detachment of gendarmerie entered the room and seized the officers—one of them , M . Aldenize , who had joined Prince Louis Napoleon when ho landed at Boulogne , instantly drew his swora , broke it , and declared that he had entered tbe service a 9 a volunteer , that he would resign , and that , being no longer restrained by military discipline , he would express himself in strong language on the conduct of the General . He was forthwith sent off , under a military escort , to the Abbaye , and , in the course of the evening , four other Commandants , MM . Duseigneur , Arrighi , Bussac , and Camerafc , were arrested and committed to the same prison . La Liberte announces that the 9 th Regiment of
Light Infantry , the 48 th of the Line , and the 2 nd Dragoons , have been removed from Paris . It says , further , that eight sergeant-majors of the 9 th Regiment of Lig ht Infantry have been arrested and committed to tlie military " prison of the Abbaye . The same paper states that a grand dinner was giren by M . Ledru Rollin on Thursday , at which several superior officers ofthe army were present . The same paper mentions , as a report worthy of credit , that the superior officers ofthe 4 th , 5 th , and Ofch Legions of the National Guards of Paris assembled on . Thursday evening to consider what course they should pursue in consequence of the agitation which at . present prevails in Paris . They are said to have pledged themselves to support energetically the National Assembly , and to protect it from any attack made on it , no matter from what quarter .
GREAT MIL 1 TART EXCAlirMEM . Paris , Monday Evening . —The correspondent ol tlio Chronicle writes as follows : —Since the period of the Juno insurrection Paris lias not worn so warlike an appearance as to-day . The whole of the National Guards are under arms ; every street is crowded with soldiers ; the shops are partially closed . Upwards of 80 , 000 of the line—cavalry , infantry , and artillery—are bivouacked in the Champs Elys 6 os , the Place de la Madeleine , at the HOtcl de Ville , on the Place de la Bastille , along the Boulevards , and wherever else danger is to be expected . The whole of the approaches to | the
National Assembly arc strictly guarded by immense bodies of soldiers , and , in short , the whole of Paris has exactly the appearance it had in the midst of the insurrection of June—with this difference , and the difference is important—that there are no barricades , and no coups de fusil . During last night the Government got notice that a plot was on foot , by which the Garde Mobile were to join the Socialists , and march upon the Assembly . It appears that a deputation ofthe officers of the Garde Mobile went , at two o ' clock this morning , to the office ofthe Reforms- newspaper to express their wishes , and to ask the editor to be the means of communication between them and the Socialists .
Fortunately , notice of this step was immediately sent to General Changarnier , who at once gave the necessary orders , and sent for all the troops in the villages round Paris . The Government , fearing that the insurrection might be a formidable one , has taken the precaution of sending Marshal Bugeaud to take the command of the army of the Alps , with instructions to march upon Paris in case of necessity . Marshal Bugeaud left Paris this morning . The Government has resolved to dissolve the clubs . The rappel is beating in all parts of Paris , and the alarm is very great . A battalion of the Garde Mobile , which was ordered to remain within its barracks at CoWbevoie , has escaped , and is said to have come into Paris . Several officers and privates of the Garde Mobile have been arrested in the course of to-day . It is reported that M . Caussidiero has returned to Paris , and that he was arrested this morning .
Duel . —A duel was fought this morning between M . Cloment Thomas , the lateeommander-in-ehiefof the National Guards of Paris , and M . Coetlogon , editor of the Coriaire . Both the combatants were desperately wounded . COWARDLY VOTE OF THK ASSEMBLY ,. On Monday the Assembly decided , by a majority of 416 to 405 , that the proposition of M . Itatoau , fixing the day for the dissolution of the Assembly , should be read a second time . M . PitouDiiox . —The majority of the commissioners appointed to examine the demand of the Attorney-General for permission to prosecute M . Proudhon for a seditious libel have decided in favour of the demand . [ Of course !] AKREST OF D ' ALTOS SIIEE , ATjnEHT HOCIIE , AND
SIXTT OTHER REPUBLICAN CHIEFS . On Monday the Minister of the Interior having been informed that the leaders of the society of the Solidarite Republicaiw were sitting in conclave in the Rue do Faubourg St . Denis , commanded that they should be forthwith arrested . A battalion of a regiment of the line was instantly despatched to the spot , and having been drawn up in front of the house No . 50 , a number of police officers entered and arrested the members of the society to the number of sixty , who were marched off to prison , singing the hymn of the Girondins , and shouting at intervals Vive la Republique ! On Tuesday , the late Peer of France , Count d'Alton Shee , now an ultra-Socialist , was arrested ; so also was M . Aubert Roche , one of the redacteurs ofthe lieforme , and one of the chief founders of the Solidarite Repullkainc , a society which has ramifications all through France .
ARREST OF COLOXEL FORESTIER . On Monday evening , M . Forestier , colonel of the Gth legion of . the National Guards of Paris , at the Mairie of the Cth arrondissement , was arrested by a squadron of dragoons . The Mayor and M . Bonvallet , the lieutenant-colonel , were taken along with him at their own request . It appears that , an hour previously , Colonel Forestier had addressed to the captains of the companies of his legion , who were stationed on the Boulevards , an animated speech , in which he requested their assistance to maintain order and sustain the Republic . It was on account of this speech , and a letter addressed to the President of the Assembly expressing similar sentiments , that he was arrested ! " ORDER REIOXSIX PARIS !"
Paris , Tuesday . —The Paris of this morning forms a remarkable contrast with the Paris of yesterday . All yesterday the capital had the appearance of a vast camp . To-day everything has resumed its ordinary appearance . The commencement of the sitting of the National Assembly to-day was exceedingly animated . M . Sarrana demanded an explanation of the want of consideration shown by the government towards the Assembly in placing an immense body of troops , without notice , round its place of meeting , and in arresting Colonel Forestier , of the Cth Legion of the National Guards . M . Sarrans declared that it was not Colonel Forestier , but General Changarnier , who ought to have been arrested ; and he terminated by moving that a committee should be appointed to inquire into , and report on , the events yesterday . This motion created an immense tumult . Ultimately the Assembly passed to the order of the day .
Paris , Wednesday . —Tranquillity continues . Nu mcroua arrests continue to be made . Troops con tluuc to arrive .
GERMANY . PRUSSIA . — A number of Berlin compositors have been sentenced to a fortnight ' s imprisonment for having struck work some time ago , in order to obtain shorter hours . So strictly is the state of siege observed , that on the evening of the 20 th ( not forty-eight hours before the general elections ) , a small meeting of twenty persons in a private house was dispersed oy the military . The state of siege has been raised in Dusscldorf . Arrests and trials for political offences arc multiplied to such extent throughout the country , that the prisons and fortresses are crowded , to such an extent , indeed , that , according to the journals the judges do not know where to send condemned prisoners , and commandants of fortresses declare they have no more room vacant . In one or two instancos , whole villages have been prosecuted .
THE PRUSSIAN ELVCTIOXS—TRIUMPH OF THE DEMOCRATS . By letters from Berlin of the 25 th we learn that the victory of the Democrats at the primary elections in Berlin is complete , not less than 800 out of the 1 , 225 chosen electors in the second degree being their partisans . In Magdeburg the Democrats returned 237 out of 275 electors in the secondary degree . Every post brought to Berlin fresh accounts of victories of the democrats . Even in Westphalia they have gained the upper hand .
The ? grand primary elections terminated at Cologne on the 22 nd , in the all but general triumph ofthe Democrats in the sixty-four electoral districts into which the city and neighbourhood are divided . So strongly , in fact , has the tide set in against the re-actionary party , and even against those who are in favour of the new constitution , that , to make doubly sure , the electors in several districts chose not only extreme Democrats but thorough-going Socialists and Communists , as electors in the secondary degree , that is to say , as the direct electors of the deputies . Even the Commandant of Cologne , Col . Engcls , was defeated in the 45 th district , his antagonist , a lie-publican and a Socialist , being returned . Iu Bonn , also , the victory ofthe Democrats

" It then proclaims that the National Constituent Assembly of Rome will assume the powers
of an Italian Constituent Assembly , in so far as it would form a part of the Assembly . It shall not have the character of a partial or local representation , but of that of twenty-five millions of Italians , all united in the same sentiment , that of developing in common the era of the great regeneration . Rome will thus lay the first stone of that edifice which shall unite in one end , in ore existence , in one nation , the different people of the ancient Queen of Europe—the Italian Constituent Assembly . _ When this proclamation was read at Oivita Vecchia , the enthusiasm was unbounded . ...
