THE CAUSES OF THE PAMS DISORDEB. The present condition of Paris shows plainly that the demoniac passions of the first French revolution are not extinct. The guillotine, if not yet set np, has been threatened; there have been imprisonments *of the unoffending and helpless, persecutions' of tho reli? gious orders, the public flagellation of the highest minister of the church, under the most revolting circumstances, and blasphemous utterances which seem in? vented to make them stand aghast at the impiety- whioh could venture on them. 'The substratum, however, of the whole moYomout\eeoni8 to be mainly tho, design of publia and privato plunder. Many of the leaders, no doubt, are of the old breed of fanatics and jacobins; others are ambitious, using communism, as they would any other ism, for their per? sonal aggrandizement, and some of their followers are honest idiots, who believe they are helping on the "universal re? public." But in gea er al inor? so fierce for the Commune are men enrolled in the National Guard during the siege, who have been living all winter rent free, haying food and . clothing gratis from the Government, while their wives and children were fed and clothed by regalar distributions from the Govern? ment " end benevolent societies, The return of peace involves the resumption of rent?, find of the laws of buyer aud seller, and the. Provisional Government has declared ' that all useless expenses must ho out down, in Franco, the Na? tional Guard reduced, and that all classes mast share tho financial stress until tho war indotaoity ia paid. Hence, the idle, improvident,- Veok??Ss arid profligate raise tho red flag, and the Commune proclaims the right of Paris to "govern itself," to fix the.sizp,. tho dutioji and the pay of the National Guard. . .w-? ai ;? ., .
