On the IGlh of April, Paris was in a state of great confusion in consequence of an attempt made by M. Ledru Rolli'n and the Communists to upset the. Pro visional Government. It appears that on Salurdjy evening, at the sitting of thy Provisional Government, very high words arose between the M7o parties, ul tra Republican and the more moderate members. .M. Ledru Uollin was particularly energetic, be.in,' o posed by M. Marnul, '"ho said that it was his film intention as well as Hut of hi m ire rnooVr.u 'OY leagues, to respond to the general wishes of tb ; na tion, and proceed .with mo I 'ration, as olh'rvv'H,4 n thing could ensue htit civil war and bloodshed.

They occupied the whole square of the Hotel de Ville, the Bourse, the residen ces of the Ministers, and tbj various public buildings. They lemained under arms all night. The supposition is, that uhcuit was found that the National Guards were out in great numbeis, tbey thought it advisable to proceed peaceably. It appears that there was actually an attempt made to depose the moderate members of the Provisional Gov ernment, which was rendered abortive by the firm ness of M. f.amartine. Before the procession began to move from the Champ de Mars towards the Hotel de Ville, M. Cabet went to the Hotel de Ville and demanded an inlerview with the Provisional Govern ment. M. l.amartine vva the only one who recermT him. M. Cabet immediately declared that tbe'iPjro visional Government had betrayed the cause of the people, and that it was necessary, and tint it should be lec instituted. Ho then banded in a list of those who should form the new Provisional Government, a id declared, that if it were not accepted, the people fh n assembled in the Champ de Mars would march on tli" Hotel de Ville, and efTect by force that which tb.'V b d would be gra.ited by peaceable m;ans.
