We .give the following interesting nar-
rative of the concoction and successful
execution of the covp d'etat of December
2d, by which Louis Napoleon surprised
France and the world. Its source is M.
Granier de Cassagnac's piquant " Ooin:
plete and Authentic Account of the Events
facturera pifies. ' °f December, 1851." The greatest mar-
H^& Son, vel about the matter is that such extensive'
and complicated arrangements could be
l^jt completely secret for fifteen or six-
teen days: ,
—mItor-, the ¡Presi-
dent yet remained master of his action ;
in a few months it would have been too
Banjos, late for him and everybody else. He re-
solved to " save the country." Throe men
were the confidants of his idea—Gen. de

—M. de Moray for all the responsibilit}'
to encounter as Minister of the Interior:
Ohangarnier was confided to two men. se-
lected for their rare euergy, Capt. Boudi-
no^ of the Republican Guard, and the
commissary of police. Leras. They took
with them no less a force than fifteen
picked police agents, thirty Republican
(guards, and a picket of ten cavalry. At
five minutes past 6 they rang the bell at
No. 3 Rue de Faubourg St. Honore, where
the general lived. The porter asked who
was there, and being told to open the door
for some one who wanted to speak to him,
he became suspicious and refused, to do so.
The commissary then marched into a gro-
cer's shop next door, from which he rightly
guessed there mnst be a communication
wTCTi Gen. Changarniers apartment. In
an imperious tone he demanded the key,
which was instantly given to him.
Followed by several of his men. he pro-
ceeded to the general's room, snatched the
keys from the servant, whom he met upon
the staircase, and rushed towards the gen-
eral's bedroom. Gen. Ohangarnier by this
time knew the designs of the intruders
He r.ppeared at the door of his bedroom
in his fhirt, with a pis' ol in each hand
The commissary said, '' What are you

tions ; M. de Maupas for the action of the
police.
During more than fifteen days these
three men planned with the President all
the details of this immense act, an act
which is not equaled by the 13th Bru-
niaire either in difficulty, ability or great-
ness. The most minute things were fore
seen, concerted, detailed, prepared, with
such marvelous secrecy, that the friends
most to be depended upon, the agents the
most necessary had not a suspicion of
what was to be done before the final mo-
ment for action arrived.
The simultaneousness of all the meas-
ures to be taken was evidently the first
condition of success. The principal ot
these measures were four in number ; the
arrest of guilty or dangerous persons, the
publication of the official proclamations,
the occupation of the palace of the Na-^
tional Assembly, and the distribution of
tols. saying
me dress myself." lie begged that his
servant, with whom he could not dispense,
might not be separated from him. This
favor was granted. On his way to prison,
he said. '• The President was sure of his
re-election. He need not have recourse to
w coup d'etat: he is giving himself much
useless trouble/' lie afterwards added
•• When the President shall have a foreign
war, he will be glad to seek for me to give
me the command of an army "
M. de Caisagnac gives the names of the
commissaries of police charged with those
several acts, and particularizes the man-
ner in which the arrests were effected.
All the generals, it appears, were found
quietly asleep in their beds. Alluding to
the arresta of Gen. Cavaignac, M. Granier
de Cassagne says: "The arrest of Gen.
Cavaignac was neither long nor difficult
M. Collin, the commissary of police, hav-
troops upon all the points judged neces- ¡ng entered the house in which the general
sary. The hour of quarter past G in the
morning was fixed upon ior the simulta-
neous execution of all these measures. It
was necessary that the plan should not be
divulged by anybody, or bccome known
by piece-meal, but that it should burst
forth at once in its entirety, and be at
the same moment successful. At a quar-
ter past G the arrests were effected; at
| half past 6 the troops were at their posts;

ister of the Interior." A search made in
the chamber of M. Thiers did not lead to
the discovery of any political correspond
dence. M. Thiers replied that he had his
political correspondence addressed for
some time in England, that nothing woul4
be found at his house. On bciog request
ed to descend and leave the hoase, M. ^
Thiers was much affected, appeared
alarmed, and was fall of besitatation in his
movements. He waB led to believe that
he was about to be conducted to the Pro-
feet of Police.
The direction taken by the carriage
augmented His apfu>ak* «oua, «id he en-
deavored en route by every sort of cap-
tious and subtle reasoning to turn tho
agents of police irom the accomplishment
of their duties. On his arrival at tho
prison of Mazas, M. Thiers asked if ho
could have his coflfec as was his custom.
Every attention was shown him. His
courage, it must be confessed, entirel*
abandoned hi;u in prison, and he did not
sho.v greater firmness than M. Greppo.
Excused from being transported to Ham,
M. Thiers was provisionally taken back to
his own house. By a new decision. M.
Thiers was to be taken to the right bank
of the Rhine to the bridge of Kell. Tho
officer of peace, Yindenback, went to tako
M. Thiers from his house on the 8th of
December, at Gin the evening. M. Miguci
and another friend accompanied M. Thiers
to the Strasburg railway station, and M.
Granigiere de la Mariniere accompanied
him to Kell. At the moment of setting
out M. Thiers wept abundantly. On his
arrival at Kell, 31. Granigiere de la Mari-
niere carried to the officer of peace, Vin-
denback, a letter of protestation and a let-
ter ot thanks, for the attention shown to
M Thiers 31. Thiers announced his in-
tention of going to Frankfort, and thenco
to Dresden, where he had to meet an old
friend, with whom he should amuse him-
self in painting.

resided, No. 17 Rue de Helder, had the
following conversation with the porter:
•• Iu what part of tho house does Gen.
Cavaignac live?" "lie is not at home,"
said the porter. I know that he is at
home, and I inmt see him." " He is not
—at any rate he is asleep—you come too
early ; his lodgings is on the entresol."
The commissary went up knocked and
ran;;•<• Tor -tie
gen era í. A female voice replied that the
general was not at home. The commissary
rang the bell again, and a female voice ex
claims, Who is there?" The commis-
sary called, in the name of the law, for the
door to be opened. The general replied,
'• I will not open it." The commissary
said, i; General, if you do not open the
door I will break it open."
The general then opened it, and the
commissary, having entered, said, " Gen-
eral, you are my prisoner; resistance
would be useless, for alt my measures are
taken. I have orders to arrest you, in
virtue of a warrant which I will read to
you." The general would not hear the
warrant read, and becoming greatly ex-
asperated, abused the commissary, who
advised him to be moderate. The general
then looking sternly at the commissary,
^aiu, - What! you arrest me! what is
your name?" The commissary replied.
•' I shall not conceal it, but this is not the
time ; you must dress yourself and follow
me." The general then became more
calm and said, " Well, sir, I am ready to
follow you; all I ask is for time to dress
myself: let your attendants withdraw."
He then asked permission to write, and
this was granted. When the general was
ready, he said to the commissary, " Now
let us set out; but I ask as a favor that I
may procced to my destination with you
alone." The request was complied with.
On their way the general appeared in deep
thought, and only spoke once, which was
to ask if he alone had been arrested, and
where he was going. The commissary
said he could not reply to the first ques-
tion, but he was going to the prison Mazas.
When the commissary of police entered
the bedroom of M. Thiers, in the Palace
St. George, M. Thiers was asleep The
of Paris.
At half-past G, M. de Morny took pos-
session of the Ministry of the Interior,
accompanied by 250 of Chasseurs de A tá-
cennos. and remitted to M. de Thorigny a
letter, in which the President thanked
him for his services, and informed him of
the steps which he had taken.
M. de Belvele, the President's orderly
officer, was instructed to superintend the
printing of the proclamation, and the com-
positors had been kept at the national
printing office for a special service. At
11 o'clock the director of the printing of
fice was sent for, and at midnight, the es
tablishment was surrounded by gendarmes:
sentries were immediately placed at every
door and window, and then, and not till
then, did M. Belvele produce the docu-
ments which had been confided to him—
the printing of which he superintended
himself, and remained until their impres-
sion was completed, and then carried them
to the Prefecture of Police.
The persons ©f whom the police were
to render themselves masters were of two
kinds—the Representatives more or less

and the chiefs of secret societies and the
commanders of barricades, always ready-
to execute the orders of the factions. Both
had been for a fortnight under the surveil-
ance of invisible agents of the police, and
not one of those agents suspected the real
object of his mission, having all received
orders for imaginary purposes. The whole
number of persons to be arrested was sev-
enty-eight; of whom eighteen were Repre-

Police on the 1st of December, until 11
o'clock at night, under the pretext of the
presence in Paris of the refugees in Lon-
don. At half-past 3 in the morning of
the 2d the officers of peace and forty com-
missaries of police were convoked at their
houses. At half-past 4 all had arrived,
and were placed in small groups in differ-
ent apartments, for the purpose of not ex-
citing suspicion.
At 5 o'clock all the commissaries went
down separately into the office of the pre-
fect. and received a communication of the
simple and entire truth, with the necessa-
ry indications and orders. The men had
all been selected with special care for the
duty to be confided to "them, and all went
away lull of zefl and ardor, resolved to
accomplish their duty at any price. None
failed in his promise. A great number of
carriages, prepared in advance, were sta-
tioned in groups on the quays in the
neighborhood of the Prefecture of the
Police, so as not to excite suspicion. The
arrests had been so arranged between the
Prefect of the Police and the Minister of
War that they should precede by a quar-
ter of an hour the arrival of the troops on
the places indicated. The arrests were to
be made at a quarter past 6, and the
agents were ordered to be at the doors of
the persons to be arrested at five minutes

rant. M. Thiers sat up hastily, rubbed
his eyes, and said, '* On what account?"
The policeman replies, '• I am come to
make a search at your house ; but do not
be alarmed, up harm will be done to you;
your life is in no danger." This last as-
surance appeared necessary, for M. Thiers
was in great consternation. " But what
do you intend to do? Do y7ou know that
lam a representative?" "Yes; but I
cannot enter into any discussion on this
roint; I must execute my orders." '-But
what you do may bring you to the scaf-
fold." "Nothing shall prevent the fulfil-
ment of my duty." '• But it is a coup
d'etat that you are making." " I cannot
answer your observations; I pray you to
get up." "Do you know if I am the only
one in the same predicament; are any of
my colleagues in the same case ? " I do
not know, sir." M. Thiers got up and
slowly dressed himself, refusing the servi-
ces of the agents of police.
He all at once said to the commissary:
" But, sir, suppose I should blow out your
brains ?" "I do not think that you would
be guilty of such an act, M. Thiers; but
in my case I have taken my measures, and
I know how to prevent you." " But do
you know the law ? Do you know you
violate the constitution ?" "It is not my

A late number of the London Punch
has some good tilings, from which we ex-
tract the following:
A Speculators Apology.—You can'fe
make the pot boil without bubbles.
Question for Naturalists.—Why is tho
pelican like Mr. Hobbs ? Because he is
celebrated for ¡licking his chest.

Briefless on the Profession of the Lato.
Briefless says, the law is certainly a pro-
fession, for with him it is anything but a
practice!
The Tightest Knot, in the World.—Tho
matrimonial knot, once tied, never can be
untied ; and the worst knot is that, like
theGordian knot, you cannot even cut it.
The Fort us " nf War.—The charge'of
the British troops is objected to by tho
financial economists in peace, and in war
by the enemy.
Fact in Animal Magnetism.—An al-
derniam being mesmerized, was found to
be a clairvoyant on placing a pair of spec-
tacles on tho pit of his stomach.
If a foreigner were told that many a
poor curate struggled aud starved upon
£40 a year, for doing the work of a rector
who frequently had £4.000, what would
he say of the English Church ? "Shame-
ful In a curacy !" {Inaccuracy.)~
Prophetic.—When you see a big woman
put her hands upon her hips, and, looking
verv black, intimate to a person that she
is going to give him a " bit of her mind;"
the chances are, she will not only give it
him, but likewise break the peace.
What is it that a woman frequently gives
her countenance to, and yet never takes
kindly ? The small-pox.
Questions in Mythology. — If Atla®
could support the world ou his shoulders*
was he able to balance the poles on his
chin?
Non-intervention.—A principle that
cannot be recommended too strongly in
all matrimonial wars.
Akin to the above is the following re*
ceipt to brew a domestic quarrel:
'* Get plenty of hot water, which you
can always have by running into debt.
Into the hot water throw your grievance,
and keep stirring it for several hours with
any small trifle that turns up. When ife
begins to boil, pour in all the household
annoyances you can rake together, and
flavor it with the bitterest truths, of which
you should always keep a stock at home,
ready cut and dried. Let it stand all
night, and, if you come down to breakfast
very late the next morning, you will find
that there lias been a great rise, in the
meantime, in your quarrel. The next
thing is to commence cooling down, which
is best done by rapidly drawing off" into
opposite corners. If you want your quar-
rel to be brewed very strong, and to last
the household a long time, you had better
get your mother-in-law to come and live a
month with you."
