zaturiyal) to imoittrtti),o vooto. LONDON-, APRIL 19. THE Paris papers of Thursday and those dated Fri- day arrived this morning (Saturday) by express. We learafcythem that two telegraphic communications of the loth, from Lyons, announce the total cessation of military operations in that city-the troops remained masters of the whole town and its suburbs, and busi- ness," adds one of the telegraphic despatches, has resumed its course." The official particulars from the scene of action announce that though the battle was bloody, it was decisive. The revolters, driven from their positions, took refuge in three or four churches, and amongst others in the Cathedral, to which a regular siege was held. All the insurgents who took refuge therein were killed. They were said to amount to up- wards of two hundred. M. de Montalivet, in the Cham- • ber of Peers, said, We have gained the victory, but it cost us dear. Three or four churches were stormed, and all those who defended them were put to the sword." Among other persons arrested at Lyons are a son of Marshal Bourmont and M. Sarda, the commander of the steam vessel which landed the Duchess de Berri on the coast of Provence some time since. It appears that 5ra^e disturbances at Paris, the whole number of rioters did not exceed 300, but that upwards of 50 of them were billed, and the number of wounded received at the Hotel Dieu oh Monday was 24. Several persons who took no part in the riots became the victims of the fury exhibited on both sides. Between Sunday morning and Monday night the number of persons arrested on suspicion" exceeded 1000, thus shewing that the ramifications had extended far beyond the numbers engaged. The two Chambers had gone up to the King with addresses pro- fessing strong attachment to him personally, and indig- nant deprecation of the disorders in the streets. His Majesty received them most graciously, and repeated what his Ministers had already stated, that he meant to propose to them some strong measures for effectually preventing such outbreaks in future, but that the palla- dium of French liberty would. be religiously respected. M. Persil, Keeper of the Seals, in conformity to the previous day's announcement, brought into the Chamber of Peers, on Tuesday, a Royal Ordinance, by which the Chamber is required to assemble as a Court of Justice, to try, without delay, the prisoners who were concerned in the riots in Lyons on the 9th, 10th, 11th, and 12th of April, and in Paris during the night of the 13th and 14th. The Chamber assembled on Wednesday, in order to constitute itself into a Court of Justice. M. Persil also proceeded to the Chamber of Deputies, and there read a Project of Law establishing certain penalties in cases of persons having arms in their possession without legal authority to that effect, or being found with arms in their hands behind barricades, and in times of riots. Marshal Soult also read two Projects of Law for extra- ordinary credits, in order to maintain the army in Sufficient force to check the attempts of the factious." Tranquillity had not been again disturbed in Paris.- On the same day M. Theirs also applied to the Chamber of Deputies for a vote of 400,000 francs, for the relief of the relatives of the loyalists killed, wounded, or dis- abled, in the conflicts at Lyons, St. Etieme, and Paris. The Countess of Pembroke steamer, in the service of the Queen of Portugal, arrived at Plymouth on Wed- nesday, having left Lisbon upon the 10th, Oporto on the 51th, and Vigo the 12th instant The intelligence that the Emperor, Don Pedro, accompanied by the Minister of War, and by his General Staff, had left Lisbon on the 9th, for Santarem-that the check which was reported to have been received by the Baron de Sa-proved a false report. The Baron retired to Mentola, to wait for reinforcements, already on the way, but without loss, which would enable him to clear the Alemtejo. On the 11th, Monte Alegre, in Tras-os-Montes, had declared fit favour of the Queen. It is also stated that on the 9th, the Spaniards, to the number of 2000 or 3000, entered Portugal by Chaves, and advanced to Vellarinho, flowing some Spanish Carliststhat were going to join iron Carlos. In their progress they came upon a Mlguelite Chief of the name of Raymundo, and troops, and took from him all his baggage, &c. The Duke of Terceira had united his forces to the troops of the North. Admiral Napier, at Oporto, was arranging another ex- t, pedition for the ports between Oporto and Peniche, yet remaining in possession of the Miguelites. It appears by the Brussels papers that the troops were again under arms on the 13th, but tranquillity was nmlisturbed. King Leopold's Government has begun to act rigorously on the law for banishing notorious persons from the kingdom, and among those expelled are M. De La Boissiere, one of the editors of the Lynx; M. Froment,. the editor of the Messager de Gran; M. Robert, the editor of the Voix des Peuples; M. JJugardieu, and M. Cabet, the Member of the Chamber of Deputies who lately retired to Brussels to escape the consequences of his condemnation by the Court of Assize Paris. The printer of the Le Jeune Belgique has arrested for printing an inflammatory handbill; and there have been several other arrests.
