Tbe National Guard and the " Garde Mobile" rose against the movement,, aod expelled the intruders. The follo*ia{ is a detailed account of tbe suppression of tbe Clubs* from the pen of a correspondent to a London journal• " Alter 1 despatched my parcel this morning, I went to the National Assembly. My way lay across Ihe gardens of tho Tuileries. I found the terraces whirh command the Place de la Concorde occupied by the Garde Mobile, and tbe ga*e opening upon the Palace shut, with troops drawn up on the garden side. Retracing my steps towards the aide opening to tbe bridge called Pont Royal, I found the garden filled with National Guards; and on reaching the other aide of tbe bridge 1 discovered that tbe Quny d'Orsay, leading to the Chamber, was closed agam*t the public, lieing provided *thak ticket, I was allowed to pass, and the line occupied with Guard Mobile, infant|» wHJfevalry. The streets ruuDing parallel were In front of the Assembly, facia jjpe b'Bßte, and commanding the Place de la Concorde, was of Arliitfery. On all sides the avenues were filled wi h troops and National Guards, and no one allowed to pass wi lio t a ticket. On entering the house I could see traces of the invasion ; panels of doors aud panes uf glass were broken. Within tbe house a rumour was current, that a decree having passedfefor the dissolution of the Republican Guard, a netPßfeice force, under the imttedute orders of CaußsidieteJmfetance ou their part was apprehended, au&in&Hvren said that the resistance bad begun, and opt tOHLwaa firing in that dilution. A communication on*M|®ubject will be found lower down. M. Caussumßjentered about half-past one o'clock, and went his seat on the Mountain. Previous to the arrival of M. Caussidiere, M. Gamier Pages ascended the tribune, and proceeded to eapla a the steps taken by the Executive Commission to poc down tbe if (he day before. Tbe most energetic meaguiwajjbeen used. The ringleaders had. been taken ii«o rißtroy, and tranquillity restored. M. Sobrier had been fejrested, tbe artus and amhsuoitioo which had been secreted in the house bad b;eu seized. The most obuoxious of the clubs had beeu closed; tka*, usually called Blanqui's had been surrounded the night before, the meeting dispersed, and some arrests made. The prisoners were at that moment lodged in Viocennes. Barbes,' Blanqui, and Albert were io custody, as Bt.ain, and Colonel Saisset. The would not be allowed to exist as belonged to that body employed at of Police would be dismissed. He beq|ped3%&h respect to Hie head of tbe department. Caussidierefftaat he had acted wita good inteutions. (Cries of " Nb, no.") Clement Thomas, in whom they all had confideace, was at the bead of the National Guard,and every measure had beeu ta'ten requisite to secure public safety. He Called on the National Assembly to support the Executive Commission, who, to act with tbe uecea»ary energy, required all theit support. (Cheers.) M.

(Immense cheeriug) At half-past one o'cUgfe, jfee busiaes* of the day was resumed, under by propositions of acknowledgment of °f the National Guards. The tribune Wis wTCeusaidiere, the Prefect of Police, who, io MmarUed expressions of distrust, proceeded lie was however, allowed fair play, although derisive laughter met mau; of his most emphatic assertions. He complained tint be hud been unjustly accu&ed, which he felt the more fur having breti appointed Prefect of Police by means of the barricades. He bad responded to their confidence by pi'eserung Pari* for ' > months from anarchy.

He knew he was no! necesaarily Mrrounded by people of indifferent character, bat after making all allowance he could not, he declared, afford him his confidence (loud cheers).--M. Jules Favre, Under Secretary of the Foreign Minister, rose to «ay that no man should he condemned on anonymous communication.. The dissatUfecuon or the chamber became so great, when it m teen that the ex-Secretary of Ledru-Rollm was disposed to screen M.Cauasidiere, that he could hardly be heard. In fact, it waa understood that the Republican Guard had been disbanded, which explains the discontent felt at the intimation to the contrary. —'M. Dupin, in a brief speech delivered with great vehemence, demanded that the government should act with firmness and energy, and afford by their conduct some sense of security to the p eop j e> M. Cauisidiers rose again, but the impatience of the assembly went beyond bounds. He was understood to offer his resignation, if confidence was not Alt in him.—The sitting was then adjourned.

General Courtais, [against whom the exasperation atreme, and who was assailed from all parts with the cry of' Down with-the traitor 1' having made a aim that he desired to speak, said, 'lathe name of the people I order the National Guard to leave I A National Guard then cried, • You are no longer eeneral of the National Guard—you are a traitor, aud | in the name of the people I degrade you.' So saying, same National Guard tore off his epaulettes, St another wrested from him his sword, on which )d placed his hand..

These man must be repudiated by the National Guard, by the National Assemb£, and br France. We demand the expulsion of Barbes, and Courtais, as General ; and that both may be brought to trial.

In the seirch made on Monday evening, at the of the Commune de Paris, there were found six hundred muskets, most of which were loaded, a barrel Of nunpowder. and other munitions of war. Some n'f the capers which were seized ore said to be of ffreat importance. We understand that not less than 82 arreßts were made in Sobries's apartmen;s. One of the persons arrested had a paper in his band, which he thrust into his mouth, and tried to swaliuw it- but being seized by the throat, he was obliged to eive it up, and if turned out to be a list of allies. A large quantity of arms, powder, and ball-catridges bad been seized at the residence of Blamiui, and at other houses wher he had hired rooms.
