Much vague apprehension was felt in Paris on Thursday: a
deputation of women was to wait on the Assembly with a memorial in favour of the insurgents of June, and it was feared there would be serious disturbance. The uneasiness was heightened by the absence of definite knowledge; for Wednesday being the Festival of All Saints, hardly a paper appeared, and there was full scope for bare rumour. Nothing remarkable occurred. The petition was taken to the Assembly without disturbance—Government having largely prepared to keep order; and it was presented by a member of the Mountain without remark. '
The Garde Mobile and the regular troops have become so jealous of each other that personal encounters happen in the streets, and give the au- thorities both trouble and anxiety.
The Mon iteur of yesterday notifies the removal of eight Prefects, and as many new appointments. The men removed belong to the " Red " party; their successors are of the Moderate Republican party. The same paper announces that tomorrow (Sunday) General Cavaignac will review all the troops at present at Paris, in the Champ de Mars.
