Advice.s of yesterday evening's date state that Paris was then perfectly tranquil.
General Cavaignac, however, has announced that the state of siege must continue for some time.
-The funeral procession for the victims of the 23d of June, reduced to the greatest simplicity and briefest route, passed off on Thursday without any accident of mark. General Cavaignac was present, in plain clothes. Great military precautions had been taken to prevent untoward manifestations, which were apprehended.
Lieutenant-Colonel Constantine, who was Chef de Cabinet to General Subervie and M. Arago, and one of the military judges appointed to inquire into the insurrection of the 23d of June, has himself been arrested, on pried that he actually "took part with the insurgents" on the 24th, "and directed their operations."
M. de Lainartine has been goaded by the "delirium of calumny" that has raged against him to break the silence which, "not impatient for justice, nor doubting the future," be hitherto maintained. An article in the Journal des Debats stated Chet" the insurgents of June, in raising their barricades, followed out a plan traced for them under the auspices of the [Executive] Government itself." In a letter to the Constitutionnet, Lamartine says—" To such a charge, of being a professor of civil war, and a preparer of carnage—made against one who every day for four months past offered. his breast to spare the blood of his fellow citizens—there is no answer, but a cry of indignation, which rises from the bottom of the soul, and which I pray you simply te register." M. Emile de Girardin has been liberated4 and has published a spirited but dignified protest against his arrest without motive, his imprisonment an secrete without examination, and his release without explanation. La Freese remains under official seal.
