The Irreconcilable and Hi Career uLe Figaro," "La Lanterne," "La Marseillaise" A Bed Republican De magogue. Henri Rochefort, who hts been the direct fame of the rceont tumult in Farls, is still a young min, and bcan life ns a theatrical critic, from which position he drifted into that of a writer for the Charitari, or Paris runch, a weokly periodical which is as funny as it dare he without incurring the risk of suppression. He next became the chroniqwur or chronicler of tbo Figaro, and for some time was the life and soul of this popular sheet. No part of a French newspaper Is more characteristic and attractive than the chroniqtie or record of pass ing events, into which everything concelvablo is crowded, from the most important affairs of state to the most insignificant events of local occurrence. The French journalist does not, even in his most dignified editorial, restrain himself as much as his oolaborer in other parts f the world, and in the chronique especially ho plves lull scope to his versatility and vivacity, rambling over the. whole scope of passing events, and discoursing as readily upon the removal of an old chateau as upon the overthrow of a throne. A brilliant chronicler, therefore, at once commands the attention of the people, and it is in this capacity that many of the most suc cessful Journalists of Paris have , commenced their career.' In the chronique of the Figaro, therefore, it was that Rochefort. gradually established him self as 6ne of the keenest masters of satire in the French capital. On every possible point he brought to bear a vindictive and unscrupulous antagonism to the existing order of things, ridi culing the Emperor, ridiculing the Empress, ridiculing the Prince Imperial, and habitually holding up to the scorn and derision of the people the Napoleonic dynasty and all its ac companiments, motives, and movements.' Tilils weekly onslaught at last became so galling that M. Vlllemessant, the proprietor of the Figaro, received notice that he muBt give up either his paper or his favorite contributor, and M. Vllle messant ' elected the latter alternative. The Figaro might bo dull without Kochcfort; but Rochefort without the Figaro would certainly be useless. 8oM. Villeuiessant parted with Rochefort, and the latter, thrown upon his wits again, con ceived the idea of publishing a journal of his own, in the conduct of which he would be free from the . trammels . of antagonistic personal interests. His first application to the Govern ment for permission to start a journal was, as a matter of course, refused, and it was not until there was a change in the law regulating the press that he was able to make a beginning. In the early part of January, 18(58, the Govern ment had submitted to the Corps Leglslatlf the draft of a new press law. The first section of the law declared that thenceforth the French press should be free, but its subse quent provisions contained so many oppressive restrictions that the liberal and independent journals declared the existing order of things preferable, and called upon the representatives of their party in the Corps Leglslatlf to reject the measure in toto. The discretionary power of the Minister of the Interior and the prefects of the departments over the political press was put an end to, the system of authorization for those who wished to start new journals was abolished, and the burdensome stamp-tax was slightly lessened; but there was no reduction in the amount f caution-money required, the Unci for violations which the correctional tribunals were authorized and required to Impose upon editors, publishers, and r rioters were fixed at such unheard-of rates, and inflicted for the most trivial offenses, and, in short, so many new and odious features were added to the existing regime, that Emilo do Girardln, the editor of La Liberte, pronounced the new law a "hateful trap." But because of its few liberal provisions, and especially the clause which permitted the establishment of political journals without previous authorization, the ultra-imperial mem bers of the Corps Leglslatlf manifested a great deal of opposition to the moasuro, and its defeat atone time seamed imminent. The liberal journals, however, reconsidered their first posi tion, and advocated the passage of the law, which was finally effected after a stormy debate and not until several still more oppressive features were added. On the 11th of May, 18G8, the new law, having passed the Senate as well as the Corps Legislate, was promulgated, and in a circular issued a few days afterwards, M. Pinard, the Minister of the Interior, announced that "henceforth the press will ouly have as its judges the judges of every citizen. It will no longer be under tutelage. " As soon as the new law was promulgated, a (warm of new papers sprung up all over France. By the 1st of July, 1808, 6lxty-four new journals, nearly all weeklies, had been established in the departments, while to the press of Paris alone were added seven new dallies and twenty-three new weeklies. The new journals responded to the demands of the people, and a uiore defiant tone was manifested by them than bad been heard for years post, The people, on their part, eagerly encouraged the new ventures, ana some of them in a very short time attained an almost Incredible circa Jatlon. . Among the new weeklies established In Paris was one by Rochefort, with the title ol La Lan terne. It was published In pamphlet form, and ftonsisted entirely of short paragraphs, into which the writer threw all the bitterness of his heart as well as all the brilliancy of his style. , He pounced eagerly upon the "dark spots" of the second empire, raking Paris over and over to gather up all the scandals affecting the im perial family, as well as making the most sar i-astlc use of the failures aud oppressions of the Government that the perverted ingenuity of reckless , red republicanism could devise. La Lanterne became . a receptacle of nastlness, as well as a fountain of sarcasm, and discontented Paris fairly gloated over the delicate and deli clous morsels which were served up in Its ettlustas. The aggregate circulation of the first nine lenses reached 1,155,000 copies, and the ssbieriptloa lilt was being rapidly swelled when the heavy sentences imposed by the Sixth Cham ber of the Correctional Tribunal of Paris upon Rochefort made it necessary for him to conduct its publication and distribution secretly for a time, and finally left him no alternative but flight. ' "! ' ' . f Rochefort repaired to Brussels, where he was received with some show of enthusiasm, and continued for months thereafter to Issue La jMnteri eiiom that point and Aix-la-Chapelle Alternately. It was now necessary forhiin to resort to the most ingenious devices to smuggle across the frontier the hundred thousand copies which for a long time failed to meet the demand. But he was equal to the emergency, and La Lanterne, printed on thin tlssud paper and con cealed in all inconceivable fashions, was sent through the lines of watchful emissaries and still scattered broadcast over Paris. Meanwhile, the elections of May, ' 1800, transpired, and, while the ropular Tote showed a decided majority to be still willing to submit to the empire," there was manifested such a decided reaction that the .Emporor became alarmed, and the liberal policy which eventually culminated in the elevation of Ollivicr to power was Inaugurated by the promulgation of the Senatus Consullum. In this serious struggle between the empire and Us antagonists of various grades the light of La Lankrtw gradu ally faded until it was almost extinguished. Rochefort continued to fulminate his diatribes against Imperialism through its columns, but he was too far removed from' the scene of the strife to maintain his hold upon the people, and Paris at last acknowledged that it had enjoyed a sur feit of his bitterness. Being given to understand that he was in cluded in the amnesty which was extended in 1809 to the greater number of political offenders, Rochefort announced himself as a candidate for the Corps Leglslatlf at the supplementary elec tions of November, aud started for Pans. As soon as he had crossed the border, he was ar rested by the police; but the Emperor interposed in person and ordered his release. On the 7th of November, 1809, he entered Paris, not as much of a martyr as he had hoped to be. Crowds of the bourgeoisie followed him through the streets, but Rochefort free to come and go ut will and without the ban of the empire upon him, was not the Rochefort that could command such a demonstration as the day of Victor Noir's funeral or the barricades of Belleville. lie re tained, however, sufficient favor with the masses to secure a seat in the Corps Leglslatlf from the First Circumscription of Paris, in which the vote stood, on November 28, for Rochefort, 17,978; for M. Carnot, 13,474; and for M. Terine, the regular government candidate, only 2704. At the election held in May previously, M. Gani betta had received 21,734 votes, four thousand more than were required to ensure his election, but he preferred to represent a country district in which he had also been elected. At the opening of the session on November 29 Rochefort was not presont to respond to the hisses which greeted his name when it was called, but he soon after assumed his seat and took the oath of allegiance to the empire, with the mental reservation of the right to violate it as soon as the opportunity should be presented. The failure of the proposed demonstration of October 20 against the unwarranted postpone ment by the Government of the opening of the session had thinned out the ranks of the irrecon cilable?, until Raspail was left alone on the ex treme left, and Rochefort embraced him and was embraced in return. The two stood practi cally alone, and apparently powerless for the time. When Rochefort arose to assail the Em pire in the chamber he was rewarded with the cheap martyrdom of derision alone. Ollivicr was called to the head of the ministry, the so called constitutional regime was inaugurated, the new government commanded the confidence and support of the entire imperial faction and the greater portion of the opposition, and France was on the point of forgetting that Rochefort had removed his base of operations from Brussels to Paris. This was fortunate for France, but it wa? far from gratifying to the artful demagogue whose career we are sketching. As soon as he had returned to the capital, he had projected a new journal, which it had been his intention to bring out early in December. The first number, however, did not make its appearance until the new year; but when it was once upon the street, it was almost as eagerly sought after as had been La Lanterne before it. It bore the title of La Marseillaise, and in this title alone presented an irresistible claim to popularity. In its columns, Rochefort, aided by Victor Noir and a staff of brilliant writers, continued to assail the empire and all Its surroundings with his old-time bitterness and vivacity, and once more he became the talk of the town. But he failed to create any unusual sensation until about the 7th of January, when an article ap peared reflecting severely upon Prince Pierre Napoleon Bonaparte, a cousin of the Emperor, in which occurred such choice passages as the following: 'There are singular people In the Bonaparte family whose ambition cannot be satislied, ana who, seeing tnemseives positively thrown into tne snsae, grow spiteful at never attaining power. Let us place in tills category wince Pierre JSapoleon lionuparte, who permits himself to write newspaper articles in his leisure hours. As may be seen, the 1'ilnce does not write with a light haml. hcratch a Bonaparte, and you see a wild beast ap pear. Let the future republic beware of all who bear the name of Bonaparte, or anything that borders on princes, kings or emperors!'' Prince Pierre thought fit to take offense at this article, and sent to Ror hefort a note closing with these words:"I reside at No. 59 Rue d'Anteull, and I promise you that if you present yourself you will not be told that I am out." On the afternoon of January 10, two of Rochefort's assistants presented themselves at the Prince's residence, to act as seconds in a contemplated duel between the Prince and Pascal Grousset, another member of the staff of La Marseillaise, who had ventured to relieve his superior of the quarrel with the Emporor s cousin. 'The latter was not satisfied with this arrangumout, and during the altercation which ensued, Victor Noir, one of the messengers, was shot 'by the Prince and died as soon as he was fairly out of the house. The subsequent events in this tragedy are of too recent occurrence to need recounting here. A hundred thousand people atteuded the funeral of Victor Noir, which was held on the 12th of January, Rochefort being present and exerting himself to the utmost to prevent a premature disturbance. When the ceremonies of the day were over, he rode down the Champs Elyses. accompanied by Raspail and followed by a great crowd chanting the "Mar seillaise," until a regiment of troops barred bis war ad be was obliged to proceed to tho chamber of tho Corps Leglslatlf alone. 1m Marseillaim of tho day following the kill ing of Victor Noir contained an inflammatory article signed by Rochefort, and commencing with the words, "I have had tho weakacss to believe that a Bonaparte could be other than an nssassln," and thtf demand for it was so great that It is said 400,000 copies of it were sold. On tho same day, January 11, a communication from the Procurcur Impcrlalo was laid before the Chamber, demanding the arraignment of Rochefort for outrages agalust the Emperor and exciting dtsordor and violence. The demand was referred to a committee, January 17 being fixed for the discussion : upon their report. On that day the Government was urged, on the part of the Left Centre, to abandon . the prosecution, this party expressing its entire confidence in tho strength of the ministry. Bnt the suggestion was unheeded, Rochofort himself ' provoking the martyrdom which ho courted by making a violent speech in which he declared that tho ministry were determined to get rid of him as a Deputy, being unable to destroy him In any other way. While th? debate was progressing, the hall of the Corps Leglslatif was surrounded by immense crowds of people who were hold at bay by the police. When the vote was taken, it resulted in 22o in favor of prosecution to 34 against, and the hcTo of the hour emerged from the hall to become the reel pleat of another grand popular demonstration. The trial before the Correctional Tribunal was proceeded with at once, closing on January 23, and resulting in the sentence of Rochefort to pay a fine of 3000 francs and undergo an im prisonment of six months, but without any do privation of his rights, either as a citizen or deputy. The result was a disappointment; tho punishment was so slight in comparison with what bad been anticipated, that Rochefort was again robbed of a share of tho martyrdom which he so eagerly coveted. But ho refused to appeal to a higher tribunal, and resolved to make the most of his opportunity. Full two weeks were suncred to elapse before any attempt was made to carry the sentence into effect, but at last a notice was served upon Rochefort to consider himself a prisoner, In obedience to the sentence of the court. On February 7, La Marseillaise contained au article, over his own signature, in which he declared his purpose not to surrender without a show of force on the part of the Government. On the same day the attention of the Ministry was called to the case in the Corps Leglslatlf, and M. Crcmieux made a strong appeal against the arrest of Rochefort, as a wrong to his con stituents. But M. Ollivicr was firm, and after an exciting discussion his position was sustained by a vote of 199 to 45, which presented some thing of a contrast to the vote of 220 against 31, by which the arraignment of Rochefort bad been ordered on the 17th of January. It was expected that the great Irreconcilable would bo arrested on leaving tho Chamber that day, but he was not molested until he was about entering a political meeting in the Rue de Flaudrc, running from Belleville to La Villctte. Then came the grandest epoch of his career. While ho was being hurried off to prison, his partisans assembled, and during the whole night held possession of the northeastern quarter of the city. Barricades, which it was thought the servile ingenuity of Baron Haussmann had rendered impossible, were erected in several streets, aud the attempt of the police to carry the principal one was repulsed by the people, one of the police men being killed outright In the assault, while the commissary who had charge of the detach ment entrusted with the duty of arresting Rochefort was seriously injured. The empire, however, held such a strong vantage ground that by the close of the next day the excitement had subsided, and a counter-revolution rendered impossible, for the present at least. And now Rochefort, the prince of the irreconcilables, re poses in his cell and awaits the expiration of his six months term of imprisonment to give Paris another sensation. ST. DEXIS AND YIXCENXES. The Hcene of Dlntarbance In Paris Revolu tionary ooiuciaeucen. Belleville Is a northeastern section of Paris, and adjoin tne famous Ojiartier du Temple. TVe boule vard ue Belleville, part of the Boulevard of the fix- terluur, passes through it. The streets In BelievUie are narrow aud winding, having remained untouched durum tne demolitions euecxed under tne directions of Baron Haussmann. It stands on a rlslug ground, and seems the only place left of old Paris In which a popular rising could be effeuted with success against a strong military force. M. Rochefort represents this district in tne Corps Leglslatlf, and received at the late election about 2u,uuu votesi The population are principally workiogmen and their families. These men are all intense Republicans, and cherish the revolutionary principles which all the associations of the district Inspire, Although common report assigns sinister motives to Napoleon III for leaving this section of Paris unaltered, he has not failed to take precau tious against a popular insurrection. Close by stands the Caserne Prince Eugene, capable of ac commodating 3000 soldiers, and so situated as to command Belleville and cause considerable destruc tion by lis guns. This movement derives Importance from the coin cidence it has with that of '48 In mauy features. On the niornuig of the memorable 8:id of February in that year the streets were full of people, mauy of whom were armed, and all In tho highest state of excitement. As seems to be likely at present, there were contliuts between the Municipal Guard and the people between Rue 8t Antoinn aud Rne Montmar tre, and between Rue St. Martin and Rue Vlello du Temple. At sundown the flghtlug appeared to be generally suspended, and the people seemed as if waiting to see what would result from the new Ministerial changes. To wards evening, however, an immense crowd, unarmed and preceded by torches, came down the Boulevard anil stopped before Gulzot's re sidence, where they rent the air with dellaut cries. An accidental shot from this house broke the leg of an otllccr s horse. The oilleer in command, thinking his troops were attacked, without a moment's con sideration gave the order to fire, and a detachraeut of the Win line, dropping their muskets to their hip, with the niug.leg touching the dense mass of unwarned people before them, fired, aud 62 persons Jell dead and wounded. A cry of horror ami astonuihmei.t burst from the orowd "They assassi nate us! they assassinate us! To arras! to arms!" sounded on every side. This proved one of those critical moments which determined the result of French revolutionary conflicts There was ao longer any thought of reconciliation ; all night the people toiled at the barricades, and at suuriBe the next morning scarcely a street was passable to cavalry or artillery. On the 84th there was dospornje fighting at tho Chateau d'Kan, and it was eoideut that the In surgents intended to attack the Tulleries. The Na tional Guard, however, Boon fraternized with the people: the King aud tho royal faintly hastened from Paris, and the provisional kovernment was proclaimed, which Included Arago, Ledru Holllu, Crenileux names which now loom up in the latent protest which historic Paris has given against usurpa tion and Imperialism. Ht. Denis, where revolutionary movemonts aro re ported, is about six miles north of Pans, ft is pro bable that the secret organization which guides the present movement may have ordered a rising at this po:nt simultaneously with that in Paris, In order to divert the attention of the authorities. A railroad connects 8t. Denis with Paris. During the first revo lution, by a decree of the Convention, the royal Umibs In the Abby Church of 8t Denis were rifled of their contents, and the remains of kings and queens were thrown into two hvrirn ditches onnosl'.Q the northern porch. Vtncennea Is about one and a half miles east of Paria. It contain nivlr nmirii.lneu aud CAVAlrv barracks. 1848. How the Itlonses fought In That Year. In tVin rAanlntlAn rt into I m VlilatFA aaw Itm wflrt lng men gathering by small but steadfast oompanl", an waiting tor tne work to commence; mry marched down, grazing the walls of the streets which lead from It and the Canal de l'Ourcq. Home of these workmen, betier clothed than the others In cloth vests, or In surtonts Willi long skirts marohod before them, speaking In low tones, and giving words of command. These were the chiefs of the sections of tho Rights of Man, or the Families a sort of democratic freemasonry, Instituted after 1830. by some active republicans. Crowds of student and IntKirers thronged tho streets on the evening of the S3d of February, and, going to the ollloes of different newspapers, were harangued by the editors. They were Ored upon by the soldiers, and thus the first Wood in the revolution of '48 was shed. The people placed the dead In tumbrels their arms hanging . outside the carts, their wonndsuueovered, and their blood pouring over the wheels and dragged them by torch light to the olllee of the National, a trophy of approaching vengeance, brought to the cradle of the republic The bells transmuted from church to chnrcb, and onwards to the TiitlerleB, their pulsa tions, precursors or the Insurrection of the morrow. At this crisis the King sent for M. Thiers to con sult with him In regard to the formation or a minis try which should appease the people. M. Thiers Insisted on the admission to It of M. Odlllon Uirrot, leader of the oldest and widest opposition. The King consented. A proclamation to the peoplo was drafted, sent to the police, and posted np before morning; but It was too late. In the heart of the old city people were tearing up sidewalks around the Carre baint Martin, anil building barricades. Wnen morning came the people siwthc procl imutlon ; it was not signed it was a snare. The new ministry needed time, but the people would not wait. At 10 o'clock In the morultia the troops assembled at the two flanks of the louvre; the King sa-v tnere was no hope; the troop were eoid, half frntcrntztng with the people. He abdicated in favor of his grand eon, the Count of Pari, in the midst of a defeat; bnt even then the people said, "Too late I too later' While the Chamber was discussing the prop-wed re gency of the Jiieen during the minority of the count de Pails, and Lttniartine trying ' to stay the plague both ways," a loud noise wa heard in one of the tribunes, and a body of men armed with muskets entered the chamber, forced their way to the front scat, and pointed their weapons at the Deputies and the royal party. It was evident that compromise was out of the ques tion; a provisional government, including la mar tine, was formed, the Chamber of Peers was for bidden to meet, the Chamber of Deputies dissolved, and Louis Philippe ran away from the exasperated people in a one-horse brougham. The people, re membering how they had been treated In 1830, were suspicious of all public men, and jealous of authority. In one day they assembled five times In front of the Hotel de Ville, and Insisted that the provisional govern ment should report its proceedings to them every fifteen minutes. It took all the eloquence even of Lamartlne, whom they loved, to keep them within bounds. For a time the people were quiet, but the National Assembly, knowing that designing men were exciting them, and more trouble was In store, commissioned General Cavuignac to concentrate troops at Paris, and when June had arrived a garri son of 45,000 men was stationed in and about the capita). But the outrages of anarchy were multiplied In Paris, and were resisted by the Government ouly by Sersuasion, vigilance, police regulations, and the ational Guard. The repressive laws of the old monarchy had been broken down, and the new laws of the republic had not been enacted. The nlnbs, public gatherings, and the press were dangerous weapons for the masses and against the republic Only the army could sustain the Government, which had become odious to the population be cause it endeavored to obviate the danger of riots by distributing the workmen over the depart ments. At 10 o'clock in the evening of the ftJd of June an armed mob assembled at the Luxembourg, intending to fight. General Cavalgnao took com mand of the troops and the National Guard, and the night was passed in preparation for attack and defense. At 7 o'clock next morning ten thousand rioters or revolutionists were forming upon the Place de Pantheon, Intending to attack the Luxembourg. Some battalions of the Eleventh Legion attacked them, and they dispersed through the quarters on the banks of the Solne and over the Boulevards, crying, "To arms! to arms!" From every sldelthey were joined by others, headed by agents of sedition and the clubs ; the National Guard might then have crushed them, and saved the blood that afterwards flooded the streets of Paris; bnt the National Guard was slow in respond ing to the call of the Government. While General Cavalgnao was concentrating his troops, the com bat was raging on the Boulevards. Two detachments of the volunteers assaulted the barricades, and fell at the first fire of the insur gents. Throughout the city the terrible battle raged. The gallant Duvlvler, Damesne, and Lamo rlciere were everywhere encouraging the troops, and by 4 o'clock in the afternoon all the left bank of the Heine was cleared of the Insurgents, and the populace rising in the Qnartler de Pantheon was overawed. Lamorlclere, although surrounded bv 200,000 men, succeeded in giving courage to the troops, and the dismayed and faltering National Guard; detachments of the National Guard of the Baultcne began to arrive, and the (rovernment felt sure of victory. General Cavalgnao, sur rounded by his stair, Ducierc, Lamartlne, and Pierre Bonaparte lately the murderer of Victor Noir and followed by his troops, charged the rebels from the Chateau d'Eau, crying, "Vive la Rcpub liquc!" Pierre Bonaparte's horse was shot under him. The cannon sent by General Cavalgnao de molished the last forttllcaMon of thetlnsurgents at this point, and four hundred corpses lay strewn along the faubourg. On every band the rioters were beaten and battled, and the Assembly gave all civil power into the hands of General Cavalgnac. Stock Quotations br Glendlnulng, Davis ft Co.
