Received June 23, 4.19 p.m Paris, June 22. M. Albert has been arrested. One hundred thousand peasants attended the funeral of one of their leaders, who was shot at Narbonne. Further details of the mutinous outbreak state that the Ogde mutineers numbered 607. They first plundered the magazine, and afterwards asked to be allowed to return free from disciplinary measures M. Clemenceau refused to negotiate with the rebellious soldiers, and thereupon they declined to surrender. These men had, at the outset of the wine trouble, been withdrawn from Beziers, because of their sympathy with the wine growers. Upon learning of the outbreak, General Lancroissade, the officer commanding at Beziers, tried to turn the mutineers back peaceably, but he declined to take the responsibility of ordering his own men to attack them. Sparing has occurred in the Chamber of Deputies. M. Clemenceau heartily endorsed General Lancroissaae's decision, and announced that General Bailloud went unaccompanied and induced the mutineers to return to their barracks. Great uproar prevailed among the Deputies, and for some hours the Chamber was a regular pandemonium. A vote of confidence in the Government was finally carried by 327 to 223.
