He afterwards undertook the management of the Rrvue KuiUme and criticized Marshal B izalne and the Government with great acerbity. In 1969 be was returned to the Corps Legislatlf, and distin guished himself by the boldness of his opposition to the extreme measures ol the O ivernmcn. He par ticularly Insisted upon the duty of the deputies to meet in their own right, if they were not form i! ly called together by the Government. Ia the turbu- 1 nt scenes on the 9th of August which accompanied the downfall of the Ollivier Ministry, Count de Keratrv took a prominent part, and from the time when the news of the great reverses of the t rench armies was received in Paris, he has been earnest in insisting npon every possible effort being nude to repel the invaders. IH Emtnnnurl ArnRt, who, as a Paris Deputy, has a place in the Provi sional Government, but nvt a seat lathe Cabinet, belt ngs to the same Illustrious family as the new Mayor of Paris, whose nephew ho is. He is the eldest son ot Francoia Arago, the distinguished ahtronomer and statesman, and was bora in P tris Augmt 6, 1912. He Is an advocate, and wis fleeted a member of the Council of Advocates, His name, as well as his opinions and tendencies, rained him to bcretaineil in several political cases of Im portance. He defended Barbes and Martin Bernard In 1919. In 1848 he took an active part ia th Revo lution, and on the morning of February 24 protested from the bslcony of the Xatioiiale against the abdication of LouU Philippe, declared the monarchy extinct, and called for a provisional government. He was at once appointed by his republican friends to oppose the proc amatlon of tlie regency, and ran to tho Palais Royal with Farrans, Jr., Chaix and Dnmcrll. They arrlvd at the door of the chamber In time to see the Duchess of ( leans and her son enter. When M. Dupln hid read from the tribune the abdication which an nounced the regency, Emmanuel Arago rose and loudly proclaimed that royalty was by this act extlutt, and tho people objected to a regency. Lamartine and other deputies followed, and a Pro visional Government was organized on the spot, the Duehetss of Orleans and the royal dutres making t leir way out lu the tumult of the debate. la a few days it was announced in Paris that Lyons wis in a most excited state owing to the stoppage of trade and the deputation of the workmen, and ArafO was immediately despatched oy tho Pro visional Government as Commisoary. General, with plenary powers to act according to bis discretion. Finding that (the question being one of foodjth risriger was immluetit, Arago consulted w th the Major of Lj ens, the Receiver-General, and thn In tpictor-Gencral of Finances, and gave ai order on the Kccelver uencral for the sum of ' five hundred thousand francs, to he immediately applied to the relief of the distressed. This action was subsequently misrepresented and made the sub ject of furious party invective, but ho was after wards justified by a vote of the Assembly. He was elected a member of the Legislative Assembly for the Pyrenees-Orlcntales, and was djsoatcbed M Berlin as Envoy Extraordinary, May 25, 1849. He resigned on the e'ection of Louis Napoleon as Pre Fident, and returning to pans, continued in Kteady opposition to the G ivernment. Willi at Berlin he intervened iu behalf of the Poles in tha Grand Duchy of Poscn, and procured the release of General Mierolawskl. lie protested strontrly against the Roman expedl tlon. Not leaving France after the coup d'etat, he rtstimed the practice of law ia Paris, and in 1M7 de fended Berezowski. He was again la politics ia 1S('1, and in the general elections of that year was the candidate of t ie Opposition both In tha Enteru Pyrenees aud in the Var, but was elected la neither. In the special elections of the November following he was a candidate from Paris and was elected. At. Kuanne PeMetan. as deputy from Paris, has also a p ace in the Provi sional Government, but no Cabinet position. IU was born at Royau. la the Department of Charente Inferlcure, on the 2Cth of October, 1813, and studied for the profession of the law at Paris. Ha is the author of a number of works which have attained a good standing and gtven him considerable repute as a writer. For some years past he has also been an active participant la political strife, and In 1864 was elected a member of the Corps Legislatlf from one of the Paris districts as an opposition candidate, being re-elected in 169. In the Chamber he has always been an active and courageous antagonist of the Empire. REPUBLICAN IS Tl N FRANCE. Prrvlcna Attempt at Hrittog npaFrenrh Rr. public, aad now ihvy have Fared A lliatort rul l ratline. At a time when France, in tho midst of a great national disaster and humiliation, is again atout to try the experiment of a republic, a brief resume of the previous attempts In the same direction will not be uninteresting. The revolution in the new world which called a new nation into existence, and transformed the Hrltii-h colonies into the United States of North America, and e'tahltsbed a republic, the chief corner-stone of which was the absolute legal equality of all its citizens, was the Inspiring cause of the gieat convulsion that overthrew one of the oldest monarchies in Europe and Inaugurated scenes of terror that mankind still trembles to think upon. The example of America was the spark that caused the explosion in France, but the real reasons for the revolution are to be looked for In the long years of oppression during which the people of Frauce gianed under the tyranny of ;a haughty oligarchy of noMes, and were taxed beyond endur anceto support the 'rivolltles and extravagances of the gayest aud most splendid court of Europe. Tue lEbeci'lty of LouU XVI, the Insensibility of his queen to the dire misery that surrounded her on evtrynde, and the wasteful extravagance of the Ministry, served o prec'pltate the storm that bad been gathrliig fu. centuries. The passions of the populace were excittd by the writings of political pamphleteers who pointed to the example of Ame rica, and asked why France should endure all tho miseries imposed upon her when it needed bat a nnt ed effort to free the nation from i's tjrints, and when the storm burst upon the loth of August, 1792. ant the King and his supporters were obliged to succumb to its lurr. Tue National Convention met on the 21st of September, and the King was sentenced to death as a defiance to the powers of Europe, which had combine t to crush out the spirit of liberty that had arisen la France. The republic entered upon the apparently unequal contest defiantly, and the French people, with a unanimity that has never lieea paralleled, burled themselves against their invaders, and on the adjournment of the convention, on the 25tn of October, 1708, after a session of more than thirty, seven months, the enemies of the republic were everywhere humbled. In the meantime scenes of terror were enacted ia Pails, and the world stood aghast at the atrocities that i were committed Ui the upe pi liberty. The old order of things was swept away as If It had never existed, and tho proud nobility bad cither perished under the axe of the guillotine or been driven Into exae. The first French Republic wore Itself out ith its own fury, and It practically ended when Na poleon Bonaparte, the successful general of tue armies, which had defeated the combined forces of Europe, became First Consul and grasped the reins of power. Then followed tho empire, the fall of Napoleon, the restoration of the Bourbons, and th tlr second downfall, when Charles X was forced to fly; the accession of Louis Philippe and his downfall In 184. The revolution or February 24th, 1S49, was precipitated by the agitation in favor of parliamen tary reform, and the weakness and timidity of the King In abandoning his throne probably gave a very different turn to events than if he had remained at his post and resolutely met the issues of the hoar. It was thought that this time the republic would have a fair chance for success, and a large portion of the nation were prepared to give it a cordial sup port. A republican constitution was adopted, and on December 10th, 1949, Louis N.ipolcon Bonaparte, who raw that bis opportunity had now arrived, and had landed in France so saon at the revolution was consnmated, was elected President of the French republic by 6,6f8,7Bo votes agalnt 1 B00.0C0 which were cast for Cavalgnac. Dissen sions soon arose between the majority of the Legis lative Assembly and the President, and there were signs of trouble as tie period for a new Presidential election approached. Louis Napoleon, who skilfully fostered the popular dissatisfaction agalust the Government, dissolved the Assembly December 2, 1851, and assumed dictatorial powers. He appealed to the people to sanction his action, and with the aid of the army, which he had secured to his Interests, he was chosen President for ten years by nearly eight million votes. A new constitution was formed, and on No vember 7. 1S62, a motion was made in the Senate for the re estahmeut of the empire. Tnis was acceded to by the people of France by a vote of 7,a24,12D, and the second French republic ceased to exist. Th second empire has now perished like tho first, and the nephew, like the uncle, is a fugitive from the people he hud betrayed, and a prisoner In the hands of h'l enemies. The French republic has been proclaimed for the third time, In the midst of a great public calamity. A large portion of the fiirest part of France is overrun by the Get mans, who are advancing rapidly npon Paris after a series of vic tories unparalleled in the annals of warfare, and the future of the new republic is shrouded in Im penetrable clouds. That France will be enabled to emerge from her present trials nurltled by her mis fortunes, and that the new republic will be esta blished upon a more permanent basis than its pre decessors, la th sincere wish of every lover of llbeity. TIIE BATTLE BEFORE METZ. Official German Reports of the Engagement of AUunl I I, By mall we have received two ofllclal German re ports of the first engagement near Metz, that of Bundny, Aug. 14. The Dm, dated Herny, Aug. 15, Is as follows: This morning his Majesty the King, accompanied by Ban n M like and tue other generals of tue royal headquarters, as also by Couut Bisinarct aud Count KutUMiit, the ml'.itury member of the Russian Em bacHj at Berlin, inspected the locality of yesterday's light. It is situated between the eastern ramparts oi Meiz aud the villages An, Laguenexy, Homy, and Coiombey. AtCultguy,wett "t fange,w hero the bead quarters ol the 7tJ Corps d' rmee were, the Kug, with his suite, mounted and proceeded at once to the battle-Ueld. It appears that oa the morning of the 14th the French army was stationed i ast of M. tz, occupying three different camps, and stretching over a sace of at least nine kilometres. It is probable that General Bazalue intended to fall back on Chalons, and that it was only owing to rumiry dltlicuitles with which he had to contend that we still surprised him at Metz. At 2 o'clock in the afternoon General Steiumetz ordered the 7ih CWpa d'armee (Westphaiians, uneral von 2aMrow) to proceed to tho attack. As on previous ccasioi s we iound the French behind earthwors and in ritle pits, w tilth, while protecting them from our lire exposed our troops to the full eifect of their deadly aim. On this occasion, as on some other preceding ones, it was observed that the French, wheu crouchlug in rifle pits, lire more calmly than in the open, one alter the other we bad to take the pits and intrench nieuts near Ars, Laguenexy, Grlquy. Burny, uolom bev, and some other hamlets, which, surrounded with hedges, present considerable nitllculties for attack. The fight was long, vehement, and very sanguinary. As the French stood on the defensive, and only popped up out of their shelter to lire, their dead have ueaily all been shot lu the bead. In one rule pit alone we found 781, all laid low by our sharp shooters, our losses, too, are considerable, as we did not break i ff the engagement till late iu the evening, by which time we bad driven the French into the very glacis of the fortress. When the enemy bt can to yield, immense confusion s-t in in his TaiAx. After a short time he had entirely disap peared, most oi inesngniiy wouuaeu managing to effect their escape with the rest. As we have made prisoners of nearly all regiments Of thiee principal corps united under General ua ealue (respectively commanded by Geus. Da Caen, Frosfard, aud Laduilranlt), it seems that we had nearly the entire f r ;e opposed to us. Yesterday's fight, nailing the French army to the spot at Metz, will be the more prolitlo in results, as the Crown Prince has ai re dy occupied Luueville and pene- uati a even to rom-a-iuousson. lu thn meantime, we are constructing a railway from It willy, south or Metz, to a certain point l oitheaHtof the fort'ess, which will enaole us to utilize the Saarbruck-Meiz-Nmcy line, even though Metz remained lu the hands of the enemy. Though a tempi rary construction, aud built in the light style oi the Aineilcan prairie railways, It Is a grand en terprise, and occupies thousands or lalmrers. Our. diflleultles in the task are the greater, as the lnlia- nants or me neignuornooa nave tieen unstiy dialled into Metz to work on tne new rortiucatious, The Becond report, dated Pont-a-Mousson, August 16, nadB as follows: 1 he royal headquarters having been removed to day from llerny to Pout-a-Mousson, are now sta tioned in the midst of the three operating armies, of which the one under General iStelntntu is hetore Metz : the oi her, under Prln e Frederic t Charles. lias tint far beyond Pont-a-Mousson, and the third, ULder the Crowu Prince, has reached Nancy. The haMs of future operations now is the Moselle, be tween Nsncy and Metz. There is little doubt that the engagement near PaDge, on the 14th, will be attended with tne most important consequences. Marshal Bazalne, being obliged t fight by our troops comlnK up wlih him. probably kept auiet on the 14th, becaus he hd determined to eel -brate che l&th, the Napoleon s clay, uyanattie. iiea t ordlnglj, in the night from thr 13th totheUtn, drew his troops together luto one continuous line. m , it I. a ...... ., n V, . ...,.,..1 . , , , I,,.,,..-...!

We found ourselves In front of the four corps Lad mirault, Failly, De Caen and Foasard, the latter of w nicn, it a true, oouia no longer oe caueu a corps, having bven almost crushed at Suarbruck. Of the three corps d'aru ee forming the First Aruiv. under General Stelu, (Westphauans, Khlnelauders, and East Prussians), the Seventh or Westphaiun corps opened the light. The engagement at lirst was little more than a skirmish, but by the new Frencn prac tice ol lighting frtmi rifle pits became very bloody, and assumed unexpected proportions. Eveutua ly portions of the Fust (East Prussian) cjrps d'armee became Involved, when the French were driven from pit to pit, from intreuchment to li trenchiLeut, and at length were compelled to seek alieUrr on th niacin of tne outwuika of Meitz As we advanced upon tuem they left their ditches soon enough, but t'ulv tu seek cover in another trench prepared a little further back. This aud the telling enect oi the Chassepot, when managed wth more deliberate aim, as it usually is by the French from unaor cover, retailed our progress. Stld, as we steadily gullied ground, we r. ached the glacis by the tnxe darkntss set lu. It was owimr to this very gradual advance of oor men that the Jfieuch had tune snowed tnem to retreat. The fact of their retreat is sufficiently proved by their not reappearing on the l&th. lu all proba bility they have joined the Guards under liourbakl and ai eat present drawlmrorf ou the hhzh roa! from Metz U Chalous.

ITew the Prnea'ane live ou the Preach. A French paper says the Prussians are wonderfully well Informed of everything that goes on, even to the smallest details. Some days ago a regiment of I blans entered a village through which the French army had passed four-aud-tw-mty hours before. The French had with great diitlcuiry obtained 31100 rations from the country people, the Prussians requirtd 2S 000; tlicv were told that it was impos sible to comply with this demand, and th it by com pletely despoiling the Inhabitants it would be impos sible to collect more than a quarter of what was clamed. The commandant pulled some notes out of his pocket and looked through them, ''Where is Schultz?" said he. "Here I a u, commandant," re p!Ud an honest fellow, reddening with pride at Und ing himself known to so powerful a person. "Vou have three cows a hundred hens. I know where you have hidden yuur oats ; you withdrew your flour yesterday, lie so good as to fetch all that, aud be quick about it." Thus the commandant caileJ all tha inhabitants one after the other, aud proved to them that he was as well acu J ilnied as themselves with their resources. It is needless to add that tho Sc.ooo rations were made up In an hour. time. Trouble ftrewinst la Alcrrla. The 7 'ail Hall Ga; tu hays: "It seems highly pro bable that there will bo disturbances among the French as well us tho Arab population of Algeria, We gather irom a long and vehement article In the AkkLar (jMinuil de VA.h'rie of ImperuV. proclivi ties, that three gentlemen, well know n as loading men of high character among Algerian colonist, have refused to take the oaths of allegiance 10 the (ioverumeur, thns excluding themselves from sit ting In the tieueral Council, and, as the Akhbar ex prefist s it, making it appear that the majojifr of the Alpcrtans are hostile ti the 1 ive.ru 'iiotit. M. .1 nly, the head of this party, has avowed openly that he will seize every occasion of shoaing his hostility to tbe tloverurneut."
