    The French Republic. State Of Paris. (Fr...

    THE FRENCH REPUBLIC . STATE OF PARIS . ( From tbe John Bull ' s correspondent . ) The approach of a new crisis at Paris becomes dai _' y more i . m ' neat . To the other _causes rf alarm rumours of war are now added , and enlistments take place in all direction . The state of . lege , which was originall y to have been taken off OU the 10 th . or 12 ' . h of July , . till continue ? , tbe situation ot arMrs having grows much worse ; new revelations have been made , new hatred bas bsen engendered , and vengeance is B _ oul _ e _ ine under tbe _asher-.

    Meanwhile arrests continue—nay , are _trnltip'ie d On ths barest denunciations , domiciles are _searched and personal _libercy is violated . Tbe powers rul _i by terror , and the Parisians submit , without even daring to ask what will ba the consequence of this desperate State of things , which can end only in the destruction of Paris , ei-her by the . _insurgent workmen , whenever they shall be roused again , or by the _suff-ring prot _ ea __ , which will not for ever allow the all-absorbing centralisation of this city ta paralyse the commerce the industry , and the arts of all France .

    Whil _. desolation thus reigns on all sides , the _Assembly doss n . hing ; the _lene-wished for , and often ? romi . d Constitution does not make it . appe _. ranc 9 . ou would hardly _baiieve the extent to which _I-stless-H 555 ia _carried iin it . _proceedings , and the frivo _' _ous manner in which the Deputies waste their time For ono thing , they have come to as unanimous de termination to present France , thc patrie _reconnris-_»_ _, with their own counterfeits , and for this purpose have act-ally caused a d _ gt . erro . ype apparatus to be put up in the hotel of tbe president for tbo exclusive use of fhe representatives . Here they pet their likenesses taken , from which their portraits are afterwards engraved , te inundate the country with them . Itis the _^ _strangest picture gallery yen

    can well imagine . But this ib not the only way in which the time paid for by the " _countryiis wasted . Witness t ' _nepuen ! e disputes about the pronunciation and the sense ofthe word ' club , ' whether it shonld be pronounced * cleub , ' cr ' club , ' and whether it was English or French ; to which ll . Ccquerel put an end by vindicating tho word as oae naturalised in France , with a sense peculiarly French . The restof the sitting was e 02 . EE . ed in _settling that women find children ore to be e __ uded from all clubs . Now _ d then a sitting ia devoted to some lecture from M . Thiers , -which occaoies ten or twelve columns of tbe CcKm __ . o _ . __ the followim * day , eitbar _ the tight , of labour , or on the quality of the _national representation , or against the proposition of M . Proudhon , *_ .. h no one support _ .

    ( From the Britannia ' s Paris correspc'ESent . ) T _ n __ _ . —I have not seen it stated is _sny one of the London papers that General _CavaignM has declared that he has no present intention ot patting an end to the rtate of siege . I am , however , assured by a representative of the peeple that hceo stated in a committee of the Assembly a few day- ago , adding , that aa m ____ v reasons at present txisfcfor _maintaining it aa there did for first proclaiming it . This fact is of great gravity . By _showis _^ that " * the snake * of insur .-. riott * is scotched , cot killed , ' it proves the correctness nf the view of the real _stateo . things here which I have taken in my _correspondence with you . From all I hear , it see _^ s certain that che government looks forward wiih very great ensietv , eo . to say _drexd , to the coming winter . And well it may ; for

    the greater part of the few workman at present occafied will then be throws out of o _ 3 . plr . y _ Under Louis 'hilippe the winter always excited alarm , owing ic the distress occasioned among the working ela _? s by the suspension of lab __ ur ; but "_ _his day 6 the _peoffo hsd the savings they were _ . b . e to eff . c . during the spring , summer , and au _ -sa-i . fall back on 5 _whereas now they have none—spring , _sutE __ er _, and aut _ . n having scarcely afforded any feoour at all . Moreever , in tbe eld king's time ths people were cowed by the _. _eEembraneo of many _defeit _* _, and by tha _coscfent preserc- of an _overwoeltaicg armed force ; whereas now they k * _jo _* ¦ that their force i 3 _almost irresistible , February having _proved it , cad the insurrection of -Jcne , though unsuccessful , "sot having weakened ir Eut , alas ! wh 1 can say tbat an outbreak wiil not occur before winter- ____* .

    The insurgents of June- the Socialists ai _ Cos * aian ' _sts _, are said to show symptoms of recovery from their Btate of prostration , and the _iravaitfourc , the idle , d ' 33 o ! at < _-, disaffected . 'tens of thousands . _cuilected and rsaintained at the _peblic expense in ths _ . _/'_ _ _ciationnix were fast T- __ ing to Paris , whence they bad fl _. d to avoid the _canscqiences cf their rebellion . The hotel No . 12 , Ra ? de Yarenne ? . op . sits to the mansion occupied by General Cavaignac , 'Las been rent-d by tbe government , and a detachment of infantry and cavalry _placed in it for the protection of the general .

    INSURRECTIONS OF MAY AND J . NS . At ths sitting of the French Natioml _Assembly on _Thursdiy we _. k _ . ' 3 au _. K 2-d as-endci the tribune to read the report of thc _committee appointed to _icq-ire into the events of May and _Scne . _. _ . B . _cottard , after _re & dizg the decree pf _. s _^ _' / _.-seccbly which had instituted tl _ committee , said , that it had particularly applied itself to _discover the _connexion _existing _between those two eve _« , and feat it had been _seconded by the - co-operation of 1 * 11-classes of cit _' iens . who hsd to-red to the sovereignty of the Assembly . Tha processings h . d been _pcli . ica ! , not judiciary . The sacrilegious attempts against social order were _ju _. ti & ed by no cause , or evea _pretext , and there was ni instance of such an t . _gre . si _ in

    history . The National Assembly , _notwitLstanding the wsat of agreement among the members of the Provisional _Government bad decreed thst tbey hid all deserved well of the country ; snd wishing to avoid the least _appearance ef reaction , -it had preserred ia the _Ezecatrve Committee the principal elements of the previousr _government . Er-wts st the moment tbe A _* _ mbly was preparing to fulfil its mission that 16 beheld the majesty of its sanctuary profaned daring thr _ L-urs by a factious bead . The Assembly bad _eshibifea the greatest _forbearance j it aad not even ordered _an-inquiry to be _iasti _ ted , and even maintained the existence of ths national workhouses . The _twa _^ _sttacrs were both directed against the national _reuiesentstion by a factious _ inority ,

    _desirsus to impose itself on the majority . Their design , however , was d __ reni . The © bject of the co _ _pirators of the re th of May was to die 3 olve the _Assembly , and to _ b « i _ te for it a Oo ___ itfee ef Pabl _' e Safety .

No trace of any- _dlstribu - 4 ioa of money , nor of the int _. _rferencs of pretenders , jhad been discovered . M _..-3-. uchard then silted that the oomraittee hade ! o ely investigated the conduct of the _members of _thef _rovisicn _. l Government , and -regretted iu find th _ some . fro _ a mistaken notion of ihesituatknof _-he-e _ 5 _ -ry , and others from _seditions _sotives , had produced an extraordinary sensa-•_ i _ Ih the _ untry with a . iew of disorganising it .

It was the I . ter who organised the _popu ' _sr _move--nentofthe 17 th of March . Some _dsya before M .

    of '_ -eral _Changaraier was _conclnsive . The Utter waited on thafc day on M . Lamartine afc the Hotel de Ville , and found bim greatly dejeoted . M . Lamar tine stated that Messrs Louis Bianc and Lsdru Rollin were privy tothe demonstration of the 100 , 000 workmen _assembled in the Charap de Mars inten _ d to _siake . The _Gsneral then called on M . Marrast whom he found well disposed , snd the lait ? r wrote uader his _dictation the order to the municipalities to beat the rappel , wbich brought out the whole of the National Guard and saved the capital . M . Ledtu Rollin had told M . Limartine that it was he who had ordered the rappel to be beaten . The Ctub of Clubs , pie _ ed over by Sobrier , and the Club of the Rights of Man took an active part in those events They ware in direct correspondence with the

    members of the government , The arms with which they threatened the country were supplied by the arsenals of the state . Sobrier had established his head-quarters _, with the _consent of the authorities , in a building of ihe Civil List : 500 muskets and 30 , 000 ball cartridges , furnished by the Prefect of Police , on an ord-r of ihe Minister of War , were stored in that building . Sobrier had taken on himself to send 500 or 630 men to the provinces to revolutionise the country . Those men received lOf . per day out of the Treasury . _Thote two clubs possessed manufactories of a _ _is , the principal of which , situate at the Barriere de la Sant _., was directed by Raspail . The reporter then recapitulated the documents found in Sobrier ' s possession . One of them _Droclaimed the institution ofa Committee of Public Safety ; another

    the establishment ef an cxttao * dinarv progressive t _ , and that the proprietors who refused to pay it _shosid forfeit thair property ; a third the dissolution of the National Guard , and the outlawry of any National Guard who shall appear in arms in the streets . On May 15 _* b _, an individual was se „ t by M . L _ ra Ro'lin to countermand the emeute , to the president of tbe Club of the R ehts of Man . M . Ledru Rollin , on being questioned respecting that fact , did no ; deny it , bat on fhe contrary _praifed bis emissary for the _discretion and talent he had displayed in several mission ? . The Execafiv . Committee declared that all the orders issued on that day were _adopted in common _, and that if they were not executed i _<; w » s owing to treachery . _Thr Commander ti the _National Guard stated , _ths _£ he had himself devise" ! measures

    for the _protecticc ofthe Assembly , whreb , if executed , would have prevented its _profanation . The . Minister of War ma _ a similar d _^ Isration , and a _ ed that he wa 3 tempted to resign -wV-en he found his orders disobeyed . The Military Governor of Par i ? , who fe £ d _broogbt away tbe "troopa fram tbe Invalides _nrentiore-, _hsvine autet . in virtue of bu _> perisr orders ; the _responsibility of the _noa-executioa of these measures should n _ turaily fall on the government . M . Caussidiere admitted that he wan aware of the intention of _Scbrier to make a demonstrati _ _ th ; 15 th of May , bat _ he had obtained from bim a promise that it sfcould n > t bs armed , he paid ns further attention te it . Ona fact , howeter , proves that he connived at ... AL Yon had been appointed by the President , Commissionary of Polfca of

    the Assembly . That chctsa displeased M . Caussidiere , wbo sent for M . Yen , and recommended him to remain at his post in fhe Faubourg Montnartre . Tbo latter , however , insisting . Caussidiere said to hi _ ' Well , return to tfee Assembly ; its fafte is ind _ erent te me . ' Another witness esamiE _. _3 b y the committee declared that he heard M . Caussidiere say , " * I will throw the _Assembly out ofthe windows . ' It ¦ _s-as a notorious fact that the Prefectere of Pelice was , previous to thei " 5 th of May , a _marmfactory for ball cartridges . A representative mentioned an _expression of Ge _ te _ _l'Caur _ ai 3 which was _= ruitecharae . teristic , ' We are-sure of Caussidiere- 'he said , 'for he has pledged ilis honour that he -would give us twenty-four hours' notice before fee turned . ' The question of Caus-idlere's arrest was spitated io the

    council ofthe gorernment , but Messrs Arago and Marie alone voted for it . On the l _ th of May a nu ¦ menus reunion fas held at the _hcu _« e of M . Louis B ' anc—Barbes attended it . M . Louis _BUrc _asserted that no _uqentint : was made of the _TcaEifestation intended the folio wing day , bu *; 0 ? here stated the con trary . Ob tte text morning sixty-persons called on M . Louis _Blan ., who shortly afterward * walked out _? nd p-oceeded in the direction of the Bastite . K . Louis Blase said be went to _breakfastat the C _* fe des _Panoramas . _ . _Bauchard then described the scene ofthe ISth of . fay , is which _ . L _ is Blanc acted so conspicuous a part . It was proved , he said , tbat

    he had harar-gned the people and approved the _profan-tion of the Assembly . Tbat he went to ihe Hotel de _* 7 _iHe , in the evening , -was also nearly certain . He was met in the Rue de 1 'Ecoio de _ _edec ' m _. _amidsfr _* _. band of armed men , and one of hie friends _having cried . * Vive Lowi :- Blanc' he silenced bim , saying , ' The _affiir has failed ; don't notice _^ ne , or I shell fee arrested . ' M . Louis Blanc entered thshop of M . Ma «_ on , bookseller , trad sub _. quently . pro c _? ed _ on'fcot toward , the _Rue _^ e la Harpe . He was seen oa ths Pont Notre Da . ee . e .-corled by three armed men , and a _Lieutennnt-Co . _' enel cf the . * N ations ! _Saard positively dec ' _a-ed having seen bim in _fchebuildirs ofthe Hotel de vil ! e .

    After _acuspension of a quarter of an hour M . _Bauchar-d-resumed his report -and procerded to describe . he-origin ofthe _insurrecSon of Ju _ . A klter was in tba han _ -cf the _committee , _v ? _- * itien by a person who had beea with M .

The report cama to the co _ lu _ ion , frem all the information that it had received , that M . LouiS'Eianc was decidedly implicated in person in the affair of May loth . The _ 6 port then _proceeded

    to speak of the insurrection of Jane , and the ' „ u 3 es which had in particular eontrifcuted to its coisingto a head . Between May 15 andJune 2-3 fortunate modi-Sc & ticn 3 h 3 d b _. en made ccthe administration- ; the troops had re-entered Paris ,-a law on _attroupttiunts had been obtained , the _pablb _ ewer * had shown more vigilance . Uow , then , was it that tbere had been new disasters 1 Was it true tbat die quietude w « s kept alive espressly to prevent confidence from returning , r . nd . to organise misery everywhere ? The chiefs ot the insuRcction were at _^/ _mcennes , but their-spirit survived . e _ aong the conooctcrs-of insurrection . At Be ! kviHo _ . club cast balls , and the Cub of the _ _catagEards covered the wails with incendiary proclamations , that body thereby revealing itself , though haT _. _eg be-n dismissed it co longer _legally existed .

    Two _pls _ B ? ds _inr-ulting the representatives _< were stuck en ths wall , and on the _Vcth of Jaae other placards , calling M . _Canssidie _ to the head of the Republic , and annonacing the organisation of the banquet at twenty-five centimes , were affixed . The inflammafcery appeals of the . _cklss , according te . v .. Arago . hsd alone caused the civil war .

( Agitation . ) Yet the . police appeared to _ _aow Eothing ot what was going en . The insurrection-had its manufactories of powder , its chiefs , its organisation ; and tue police remains . pa ; _. ive . Even oa Jane 22 ad the Republican guards , who had teen _. _piaviously dis _misled , received their pay , and appeared ihe day after behind fhe barricades . In Mav , M .

    cu-• ive Committee that the national workshops were the hotbed of the _Rgita- ___ , and the men of tbeDroits de _1 'Hg __ 6 were the _princi-.-al agitators . 'lie report , then , arriving at tbe day when tbe insurrection broke out , declares that the object of thc _moveisent was nominally a democratic . and social Republic , but in reality piliage—itwas , in fact , a savage war carried on with poisoned balls . (( Movement ) To _coffi-iltte their task tbe committee wonld notice tbe political m __ it found _oimpromised in the insurrection . M . Trelat , on being examined by the _committ _. e , hed _deckeed that he considered M . L « n _. 3 Blane ss the author of all the evil that oecurred in June , as the insurrection was only an application oi the theories

    professed oy him at tbe _Lucemboirg . M . Trelat bad added tbat he bad beea his friend , but that sicce those events he had not dared to apeak to hirn , M . Louis Bianc had declared to the committee tbat on the evening preceding the insurrection he visited tbe _worksh-ps cf the tadors founded by him at Ciichy . H * pretended thafc those' men were animated by the best intentions , but a great number of them were found among the insurgents . A _ to M . Caussidiere several witnesses d . c _' . ared that in several groups of insurgents regret was expressed at his absence , and complaints were made tbat he had n t sent his orders , as it was not kno _ what to do without him .

    M . _C-ussibiei-e said , that if he had gone he sbould not have returned . M . _Bacchart . —M . Mauvais , examined by the committee , stated that he had Feen M . _paussidiere go over a barricade in the Rue Sfc Antoine , accompanied by his Montagnards—at least he believed they were Montagnards from their ill-looking _iacoa and accoutrements . M- Boson said , that he . aw M . Cau . Bidiere near the church of St Paul ; he passed near him with M . _MauTaiB . to be quite Buro that it was be . Tbe committee bad endeavoured to ascertain the source of those testimonies , and why they had c ame so late . It learned that they had been communicated to several persons who bad related them second band , but the first witnesses bad protested their veracity . On the other hand , several representativea had affirmed in a certificate thafc they gaw M . Gau & _sui-ere at the Asssably daring the days

    of the 23 .-d , 2 <_ th , 2 oth , and 26 : h of June . But itwas said that some of the signatures to the certificate had teen obtained by M . Caussidiere saying to some of hia colleagues , ' Gentlemen , it is pretended that I was seen out of Paris , in a neighbouring town , during the _dajs of June . Can you affirm that I was in my place in the Assembly duriDg the four days of the insurrection ? ' It certainly appeared from tbe _Monitkbr , that on the 23 rd M . _Cautsidiere had uttered an _exclamation , interrupting a speaker in the tribune . The shorthand writer who waa employed at the mommt in taking down the _debateproved that his turn of duly had not come on until after two o ' clock . Hence it did not certainly mult from that certificate that M . Caussidiere , _thoug-. present in the A __ emb ! y , wa- not also in the Rue St Antoice dhon

    . Another representative , M . Prou , was also Bworn to b y several witnesses . On the 25 th of June he was seen oa the Place de In Bastille , and was met on the other side of the barricades by two of his colleagues . M . Proudhon had given no otker explanation of tbe employment of his time than that he had remained two hours in admiration of the sublime horrors of the cannonade . ( 'Ob , oh , ' and laughter . ) When interrogated as to his presence iu the Faubourg , M . Proudhon bad answered , thatthe emeute was _sooialist , but that he had cond emned it as inopportune . A deput y also had heard M . Proudhon take the defence of the _insurgentB . M . Proudhon bad ( according to this witness ) committed himself s ? tar as to declare , ' tbat they ( the insurgents ) had fought with superhuman courage , an d t h at t h eir cause appeared to him a just one . '

    M . Proddhon said , that the deputy had not spoken the truth _. M i _Bacch-RD expressed censure on the conduct of a man , who amidst the horrors of civil war could po to a combat as to a spectacle . ( M . Proudhon struck hig bureau violently , whioh drew forth cries of ' Order ! ' from all parte . ) The hon . reporter further announced that the details of the ramifications of tbe _conspiraoy in the departments , and other . Batters , would form the subject of a second report , The attempt of the 15 h of May , and the insurrection of the 23 rd _« f June bad , he said , extended over the whole of France . There were o _' . her revelations to be obtained and other truths to be brought to light . M _. Bauchard thus concluded his addree _. to the Assembly : —* Let us , in conclusion , take a rapid survey of the vast space which we have traversed , and recal the links which connect the different events to wbich we

    have called your attention . If we have remarked any differences in the immediate causes , as well _ in the tendencies , of the sedition of May and the catastrophe ot June , it ia never _ ele . 3 certain tkat those two attempts are only the different acta of a persevering plot , _tte idea of whioh was first _manifi-sted with -eclat on the day ofthe 17 th of _Msrcb , The _ideawf tha faction ? is always the saae— ' Dis trnst of the country and hatred of the _National Assembly '—a _sacrilegioa 8 idea , violating the very _princiole of popular sovereignty . It is only thc form of tbe idea that varies , and becomes more mesacing on every successive occasion . Thus , on the 17 th ot March , the popular manifestation ; oa t _& e 16 th of April- the conspiracy ; on the 15 th of J 6 ay _, the

    attem p t ; an d on t h e 2 3 r d o f Jane , civil war . The government , which the confidence of _ e Assembly has invested with the task of watohing over the future of the republic , was created in tha midst of this sanguinary struggle between order and anarchy . The victory which our national guard and thc army _tecled with their generous blood has once more strengthened the basiaof society , assured to authority its moral force , and restored to fhe government its freedom of action . The _goverccaent has derived fresh strength fr __ this situation ; it is also conscious that new duties have _devolved upon Hia conrequence . It will "be its glory to preserve tbe Republic from all fre _. h aggressions , and so to enable our fine country to accomplish all its glorious -deatinies . ( Long agitation !)
