o THE a NO. 5380. Our Freneh Correspondence. Panis, Feb. 8, 1849. The Threatened Revolt of the Twenty-Ninth of January, nm Parts—Tremendous Muitary De- monstration-—Aspect of the Affair—The Disso- bution of the Assembly—Views Antagonistic to @ Republic—Are they Correct '—&e., &c., He. The last fortnight has been as fruitful in inct- dents as most periods of the same duration through which we have passed during the last eventful year. My last lette> was scarcely despatched from here before an incident occurred which, though at the momept unknown, happened to come to my know- ledge from immediate personal observation. A fend of mine, who folds the rank of captain in one of the legiens of the National Guard, was ad- dressed on the morning after the despatch of my last letter—that isto say, on Friday, the 26th ult., —by a deputation of the company which he com- mands. These individuals disclosed to him the existence of an extensive conspiracy for the over- throw of the present cabinet, and for the estab!ish- ment of the Republique Rouge, as the only means by which a real and durable republic could be es- tablished in France. Not that the said deputation approved-of or sympathised with the red republi- cans or the socialists, with whom they were forced into a coalition; but that they felt convinced that the present reactionary government had no other ultimate object in view than the overthrow of the Tepublic and the establishment of the monarchy, and that no eflectual means of deteating this plot were available, except by a temporary union of all shades of true republicans, and that this unton coud only be effected by a concession on the part of the moderate and sincere republicans to the more exalted and violent. This deputation applied to. my tnend, knowing him to be a partizaa of the Cavaignae government, to sign the general roll of the conspuacy. On examinoing the document thus submited to him, he perceived that his owa name, had he signed i1, woud have been the 7,6i5th on the list—the names being thus regularly numbered. My trend declined the invitation, without, how- ever, giving any express promise of secrecy. Not being at all disposed to see Paris the theatre of civil war again, he went te one of the ministers, to whom he communitated this circumstance, of course, however, without naming the parties who had spplied to him. The minister laughed at the affair, made light ot it, aud declared it to be a sottize unwortby of attention, and at the moment Teally believed whathe said. ‘This, observe, wason Friday. On Sunday a most magnificent entertain- ment was announced to be given to the President of the Republic, by the Munister of Justice, at the Hotel in the Place Vendome. To this enter- tainment T was tortunate enough to have been invited, and a truly ropal feast it was. The dinner, which was given in the long gallery of tne Hotel, consisted of 60 covers. The President of the Republic sat as usual here, in the middle of one side of the tables, with Madame Barrot on his right and the venerable mother of that lady on his lett, those being the only iadies atthe table. The party consisted of the Cabinet Ministers, some few members of the corps dtplomatique, among whom was Lord Normanby, the British ambassador, the President of the National Assem- bly, some of its most distinguished membera, and several individuals eminent in letters and the arts. In the evening, a purty of 1500 persons were invited, among whom were at least 500 ladies, dis- play ing all the splendor se remarkable in the Pari- sian mode. Noassemblage has exhibited so much beauty and fashion 1n Paris eince tne revolution of 1830 Whatever may have been their motive, a considerable number of the families of the ancienne moblesse trom the Faubourg St. Ger- Main, on this occasion accepted the invitation ot the Minister of Justice. {n the midet ot of this testival, which continued uatil midmight, appeared General Changarnier, with a_counte- mavce marked by his usual placidity. That gay crowd was Rot aware of the anxious thoughts whic! at that moment occupied him and the Minister et the Interior, who was at his side They had just received intelligence affording a most alarming confirmation of the communication which had beea made on Friday to the minster, and which I have betore mentioned. Before the brilliant assem- bly had separated, measures were taken for the to.lowing day, on which, accordingly, the great military demonstration was made, an account of which you will have seen in the journals. In the forenoon of the Monday numerous bodies of troops of every arm were seen converging towards the Assembly, and collecting 1n the Place de la Madeleine, the Place du Paatheon, and other cen- tres of popular assemblage throughout the capital. Before one o’clock the environs of the Assembly were completely filled with troops ; the area of the church of the Madeleme, the Rue Ri , the Place de Ja Concorde, the Champs Elysées, the bridge in front of the Assembly, the gardens o¢ the "Assembly and the Tuileries, and the quays, were one lurge camp. Artillery was planted with artillery men ready mounted and prepared for action, ut all the approaches to the Avsem- bly. Wagons, containing implements to raise defences, and destroy barricades, were posted at various points. All the strategic points adop- ted by§th insurgents at any previous insurrection were militarily occupied. E Prince Louis, on horseback, accompanied by two aides-de-camp aad a squadroa ot dragoons, essed before the lines of troops, and everything indicated a firm determination on the part of the government to prevent the infraction of order This great demonstration had, undoubtedly, & favorable effect. The tunds at the Bourse rose, and many of the timid and wavering in the cham- ber rallied to the government, who obtained, oa feveral questions, majorities more or less; but still the point was gained. The matter, mean: while, was variously interpreted by parties. The vovernment declared that it had detected a vast conepiracy tor the overthrow ot the moderate republic, the abolition of the conetituuon, the con- fiscation of ‘property, the establishment of paper money, the deprivation of personal liberty, the proscription of an immense number of persons, more or less eminent in the leguelature and in the press, including the Bonapatte famtly—and, in short, for the establielment of the Red itepublic. A quantity of flags were found, which had been prepared to be erected on the occasion, consisting of a triangle vpon a red ground—the trrangle de- noting equality, and the red ground the terror— all indications of liberty and fratermity being ef- fuced. The movement contemplated in Paris was alleged by the ministry to be connected with like movements ot the same kind, and by the same arty, throughout the provinces, and reports of the refeets and ot the provincial functionaries were quoted each successive day in coutirmauon of this. Such was the stutement of the government. On the other hand,the democratic party denied the existence of any such conspiracy. and retorted on the goveroment, declaring that the only conspira- ey which existed was one among the mo iste and reactionuires, at the head of which wae the government iisell—that the object of this con- tpivacy was the overthrow of the republic aad the restoration of the monarchy under one or the other retenders, - : M Ledit Rollin brought in a bill to imige cele the ministers tor violating the constitution. This, on being referred to a committee, was thrown out bya large majority. Alter the affair ot Monday, a commitiee was appornted to enquire into the grounds upon which the government made the extraordinary military demonstrauon of Monday, and to ascertain whether its real object was not to mtmgdate the Assembly. This committee, howeverg will pre bably end in no result, for it is not likely that the government would lay itself open to such a charge. There can be no doubt that there were sume grounds for its proceedings. ‘Lhe only question cun be, whether the measures taken were not more than proportionate to the exi- eney of the occasion. 7 Be thi it may, above 200 persons have been arested, and are in prison, on charges connected with this conspiracy. The trial of these will show whether or not the goveroment had sofficient grounds to justify so extraordinary a maunifesta- un. Among the persons who have been arrested, are Count D’A:ton Shee, ex-peer of France, who has become noted asa leader of the socialat party, and M. Aludamize, the commandant «f the Guar Mobile. Besides these, there 18 also among the privoners Col. Forestier, the commander of the 6th tegen ot the National Guard. Daring the week which commenced with the S 29th, the feelynge excited by that military demon- #1 vy were termenting,both in the Assembly and out of it. ‘The Asermb'y, notwithstanding the protestations of the government to the contrary, thought er pre- terced to think, that the real object of the milstury demonttration was to inumidate the Assembly and to show the ability of the govern- ment to putin force an efleetual “coup d'etat,” and close the Assembly if it did not consent to close itself. The m-jority of that body, there- fore, concocted during the week a plan for the open defeat of the Cabinet, which was carried into efleet on Saturday last. Immediately atter the events of Monday, a committee of the Assem- bly was appointed to report to the House whether there existed grounds for an enquiry into the con- duct of ministers in relation to those events. This cominittee, although} composed of a majority of membera hosule to the government, made a re- port that there were no grounds; that the explana- tions of the government were satistactory, and that the ministers weie entitled to the confidence of the Aseembly and the gratitude of the country. This report was presented on S:turday, and a proposition meade that it should be adopted. Up- on this proposition, an amendment was mived, that, on the contrary, it should be rejected, and that the continuance of the Cabinet in office was dangerous to the republic. After one of those fu- rious and tumultuous debates ot which the As- sembly has been so frequently the theatre since February, and in the course ot which it frequently appeared that the matter was likely to be decided by blows rather than by arguments, a division took place at a late hour ot the evening upon the simple question whether the report of the commit- tee should or shou'd not be adopted. The report was rejected by 407 votes against 387. That part ot the amendment which declared the Cabinet dangerous to the republic, was reserved for ano- ther day, and was entered upon the order ot the day jor Monday, An incident occurred on Saturday evening which 18 worth mentioning, as indicatiog the spirit which prevails among the different parties. Che President of the Assembly had arranged du- Ting the week to give a grand féte in his splendid paluce, to the Presidentot the Republic, at which all the cabinet ministers and great functionaries of the State, and the leading members of the Assem- bly, were to be invited, and in the evening a large party, of course including ladies, were to be as- sembled. This féte was announced in the public journals during the week, and it was stated thit the President of the Republic had accepted the in- vitation, On Saturday evening, accordingly, at7 o’cleck, were assembled the guests who were in- vited to the dinner; but it was unexpectedly an- nounced that, a few hours before, the President had sent an excuse, pleading indisposition as the cause of his absence. It was nevertheless ob- served that the malade had been on horseback during the day in the Champ de Mars, reviewing some troops of the line. ore than half the Ca- binet Ministers sent late excuses, and, in skort, the dipner wasa failure. The soirée was not less 60. On arriving there a little beiore 10 o’clock, I found the rooms almost empty. The numbers in- creased somewhat towards 11 o’clock, but did not exceed three hundred persons at any time during the evening. Amongst the guests I observed but few of them who might actually have been ex- pected to have been there, and the show of ladies was vpusually deficient, both in number and qua- lity; inshort,a more striking contrast could scarcely be imagined than was manifested between this {ue mar quée, and that of M. O. Barrot, which I ave already described. Immediately alter the vote of the Assembly eguinst the Ministry, the Cabinet assembled at the palace of the Elyse Bourbon, the President of the Republic jpresiding, and came to a resolution, which appeared in the Montteur of Sunday that, regardless of the votes of the Assembly, they would persevere in the mission whieh had been confided to them. It was again announced that the government considered itself as representing, not the mujority of the Assembly, but the majority of the country, and that, whatever might be the vote of the Assembly, they would continue in office until a general election should aflord the cvuntry an opportunity of returning an Assembly bab Ve should truly represent its opinions and its wishes. Monday was an important day in the Assembly. The question between the Assembly and the government was brought to a definite issue. An amendment was prcposed, declaring that the con- unuance of the ministers in cflic* was dangerous to the republic, the meaning of which was,that the republic would be 1n danger unless the office and functions of the President were regarded as a cipher, and the bya se of the State vested ex- clusiveiy in the Assembly. A debate took place upon this, in which M. Leon Faucher, the Minister ot the Interior, played a conspicuous part. The issue was a division upon the amendment, aflord- ing a result which no one in the ca of the da entertained the least expectation of. The amend- ment was rejected by a majcrity of 461 to 359, giving a balance of 102 votes in favour of the miais- try, and against the Assembly. This vote has been the finishing blow to the Assembly. In deliverin, it, that body has, as will be seen, committed act of suicide. On Tuesda: bate on the question of the sembly. You are aware, by my former letters, that @ great variety of propositions on this subject have been, from time te time, made, some men- tioning a parucular day tor the dissolution, and others mentioning particular measures to which the discussions ot the Gee be be limited. All these propositions were,on Tuesday,withdrawa, except one—that of M. Laujuinais—upon which all the parties not desirous ot the indefinite continuance of the Assembly had agreed. The proposition which produced this general concurrence, was to the ¢flect that the Assembly should confine iteelt to the discussion and passing of the electoral law and the completing the electoral lists; that the elections should take pl.ce on the Sunday following the completion of these lists and the assembling of the new legislative Assembly, and that the dissolution the present Assembly should be fixed for ten days after the elections. — .This is substantially equivalent to fxing the diesclution of the Assembly and the convocation of the new Aseemtly for the middle of April. From this time upul that period, we shall have a con- unued electroneering agitation; and unless some new and unexpected incident should arise, the pro- ceedings of the Assembly will henceforward attract but hitie interest. Let me now say a few words on the general Ronee spirit which prevails through the country. told you formerly that the monarchical parties had formed a coalition—the legitimisie, or par- tisans of Henri V., having consented to unite with the Orleanists, and an agreement being made that in case or the re-establi:hment of monarchy, the throne should be given or left to Henn V. with the succession to the Comte de Paris. In this arrange- meat, all parues aseume that Henri V., although he be only twenty-nine, and married to a young wife, can have noissue. This coalition, however, isnow broken up. The rapid increase of the mo- narchical party through the country, and the un- expected progress of the re-action, have been such that the Orewniets feel themselves much stronger than they were. They begin to think that the coalition with the Duc de Bordeaux wiil, besides postponing the accession cf the Comte de Paris, do them direct damage. ‘The Due de Bor- deaux obstinitely insists that he will return to France cnly us ita legitimate sovereign, ace knewlecged a8 such by the unanimous voice ct the people. He will accept no flag but the white tag, and will revive all the tradition and associations of the house of Bourbon) He 14 content, it19 tue, to allow the continuance of unt- versal suffrage, and democratic ins itutions ; ba he will be a king by descent, and not by election, acd will abolish the tr-colosed flag. This is an imyracticability, and, combined with other and nore powerful reasons, has determined the Or- Jeapiety to proceed Upon their own hook, as you say in Ametica. They wall go tor a regeney, under the Duchees of Orleans, until the majority of the Count de Pane, the council of regency, being pre- sided over by M. Thiers. I must tell you that this jroject is infieitely more likely to succeed than you can believe, with your Amercan ideas. You natwielly fied it diffieult to comprehend how a people tn actual possession of a very democratic republic, can be guilty of an act of suicide so egiegious a8 voluntarily, and by general consent, to return to a monaichy. It is, laamit, difficult to comprehend; but every well-informed pe: son here knewe that euch a result is likely speedily to en- sue. The feurs of the monarehiecal party are not that they will fail for went of sufficient support but that thear supporters will be too numerous, ani too ardent, and will push them on too fast, and thus exasperaie the minority and produce a pre- mature civil war. It is expected that the Cham- bers now aboutto be elected, will consist of an Immente majority of advecates tor the re-estab- lekment ot monarchy. There are two things, however, to which it 18 generally agreed we cannot return, We cannot abolish the tri-eolored flag which has waved over any fielde of glory, aud which been. identified with the most bril- lant pages of the history of France; neither can we reveke the great principle ot universal enflrage. Short ot this, however, the restoration of monar- chy would be hailed here with almost. univeraal tatisiscnion. ‘Lhe sincere and pure republicans, thore who discard all sdeas of terror, ot the guillo- tine ana the red flag—those who desire the estab- lishment of x goverom such as that of the United States—are, as Ihave often told you, a very small party, coufined exclusively to the capital, and to some of the manufacturing towns. The par- ties of the red republic, socialists and commu- nists, are, taken collectively, much more nume- rous; but all these put together, form a very small minority in France. The great bulk of the rural population, and the great majority of the commer- cial claeses and proprieters, desire to have a cen- stitutionsl monarchy. The commercial distreeses and general misery which have prevailed for the last twelve moaths, are, however, unjustly visited upon the republic. {tis true that they would probably have pre- vailed in any cage alter a great revolutien like that of February, no matter what might have been the torm of government established; but that is not taken inte account by the people generally, and the great mass, who are now suflering misery and star- vation in the fauborgs of Paris, and 1a the great towns, ascribe their sufferings to the republic.— Some of them would have socialism and commu- nism; but being convineed that these are unattain- able, they would rather at once return upon monar- coe Depend upon it, that this is a true picture of public opinion here, however difficult you may ea be conceived on the other side of the At- antic. ‘The proposition of M, Laojuinais, for the disan- lution oj the Assembly, was carried yesterday, with tome elight modifications, in the Assembly. The first aiticle, declaring that the electoral law should be voted without delay, was carried by aa im- mense majouty, The second article—that the elections should take place on the Sunday alter the closing the electoral lists produced some discus- sion; but on a division, was carried, by 470 to 337. The new legislative Assembly is to meet, and the present Assembly to dissolve itself, on the 15th, and not the 10th day, as originally proposed. The third article regulates the business to be done by the Assembly betore its dissolution, if there be time to complete it, viz :—the laws on the Council of State, the responsibility of public functionaries, and the voting the budget ot 1849, Last night, at miduight, the court martial deli- vered its sentence on the accused of the murder of General de Brea, and his aid-de-camp, Captain Mangin. Guillaume, Coutant and Quintin are ae- quitted; Daix, Vappreaux, Jeune, Lahr, Nourry and Chopart are condemned to death; Lebelle- guay. Nuens and Gautheron to travaue forcés for lite; Mouny, Goué, Naudin and Dugat to ten years of travaux forcés; Mouseel to five years; Luc totwen- a years of detention; Vappreaux. Amié, Bussteres, oully and Breese to ten years; Paris, five years; Geru, two years of imprisonment; Baude and Mas- son, one year. After hearing the sentence, the crowd quiited the hall of sittuny in profound silence, Interesting Aceount of the Discovery of the Gold In Calito: [From the London Globe, Feb 9 ] “Four Months among the Gold Finders in Alta-Califorma; being the Diary of an Expedi- tion from San Francisco to the Gold Districts.” By J. Tyrwhitt Brooks, M. D. Bogue.—Mr. Biooks, it seems, left San Francisco on the 24th ot May last, with a party bound for the “dig. gings”—having arrived at that port with the in- tention of seeking employment as a surgeon in the volunteer corps organized by the United States overnment Meng ae Mexican war, and fiading the war over, and his chance gone, determined to try his fortune with the crowds going up the coun- ty. He appears to have returned te San Fran- cieco early in October, and thence to have trans- mitted to his brother in England the diary kept in the interval, which forms the work ot which we have given the utle. Whether ita contents be all true or not, they certainly look like the truth, the details being not only consistent with each other, but with all that 18 yet known of the dis- tnicts described; and few who read the book through will not admit that it is amusing. As to the main point, just now--what Mr. Brooke real- ized by his four months’ labor, appears to have been about fitteen hundred dollars--say three bundred pounds; and considering the circum- tances under which it was obtained and retained, we can hardly consider him a very fortunate man. Yet he had ne mean advantages, personal and other, over the majority of his competitors. From the first he was associated with a party varying in number from four or five to eight or ten, and including men dexterous at carpenter’s work, at trapping, HeSHE ES and the use of the rifle, and who roved brave, hardy, and faithful to each other. The first place they visited was on the south bank of the Americanos river Here they worked till the place got over crowded, and then went turther up the river, passing the point where the river forks, and taking the south bank of the south fork, till they reached the saw mill, where the first discovery was made. 2 We extract the account they received from Capt, Sutter, the owner of the mill, of the incideuts of the discovery:-— «1 was sitting one afternoon,” said the captain, “ j) after my siesta, gaged, by the by, in writing a letter to arelation of mine at Lucerne, when | was inter- rupted by Mr. Marshall. entieman with whom | had frequent buriness tranractions—bursting hurriedly Fro!

He paid no attention to this; but while he was giving directions to the work- men, having observed eeveral similar glittering frag- mento, bis curiosity was so far excited that he stooped dcwn and picked one of them up. “Do you know,” taid Mr. Inareball, “J poritively debated wichia my- self two or three times whether I should take the trouble to bend my back to pick up on pieces, and had decided on not doing ther on, smother glittering morsel caught o— the largest of the pieces now befure you. | conde- scended to pick it up, and to my astonishment found that it w f Sppears to be pure gold.

Some of the gold sent to San Francisco brought up crowds of people ; and a Jarge emigrant party of the Mormons having entered California across the Rocky Mountuine just as the aflair became known, balied, and tet to work about thirty miles higher up the river, Mr, Brooks and his party worked here tor some time, but finding the produce of their daily wathings ven fall off, ond hearing of better ground at Webei’s Creek, @ email stream running inte the South Fork, they etarted again, and there fourd the gold much more plentitul, oceurriag in ehore veine, and in Jumps among the rocks of the neighboring ravines.

They had, more than once, to fight tur both, and an these en- counters one of their number was killed and ecalped,§and several desperately wonnded. As their gold accumulated, they feared alike to keep it with them or to send it into a sater district under any escort stronger than the whole body. One arcel, so sent off, was captured by Indians, after a hard fight in ate detence. At length, by common consent, the party returned ; and on their way buck found matters wonderfully changed. 1 journeyed by slow marches aloog the baaks Sacramento, passing several colo oli on my way At noon | halted at one of thea tered some littie time reund aboutthecamp The rapidly decaying vegetation—here w but svill the poor inatuated were not prevented by poritive inability, worke ton until they sank under the toil.

One Yankee had already shot two men for entering his tent, and not going out when told. Mr. Brooks put bis head in to ask a question, and got leave to retreat while the host examined the fliatot his rifle. Mr, Brooks offers nothing more than a description ot his own adventures; thoughghe if evidently dis- pored to expect great European results trom the diecovery. For himself, his last words describe him as posseesed of $1,400 in San Franeisco, but anxious to get away, even to the Sandwich Islands, as the prevailing prices would swailow up all his store, for mere subsistence, in two months. © Pacific—Aighly Inte- em Na of the Ame, res at Coili—Singular Ps (From the Cherleston Courier, Feb. 21.
