LATEST FROM PARIS.

PARIS, Trrsoty, 6 30 P N.
To-day there was much agitation in the Assembly,
owing to the general expectation that government
would propose some measures respecting the press,
especially having reference to the journals La Presse
and ..4qemblelr Natio/safe, both of large circulation,
which are now suspended.
After some bucineas of no general interest, M. Se-
nard, Minister of the Interior, proposed four projects
of law 1. As to the caution money of the journals ;
2. As to the abuses of the press; 3. As to the clubs;
and 4, As to the theatres.
The first requires that different claws of journals
shall deposit with the state sums varying from 24,000
to 6,000 francs, according to their frequency of pub-
lication.
The second retains the old laws against the abuses
of the press, with some modifications.
The third admits the right to meet in clubs, but
subjects them to a previous declaration, and to sur-
veillance of the police.
The fourth proposes a grant of 500,000 francs, to
enable the theatres of I'aris to re-open. The Grand
Opera is to receive a separate grant of 170,000 franca.
I am assured from good authority that the idea of
a tour in the East, as stated in one of the London
ournals, has not been for a moment entertained by
M. Lamartine. _ . .

The posts have been in general doubled in Paris
to-day. A great body of troops have been collected
at La Chapelle de St. Denis.
The discussion on the proposed constitution was yes-
terday continued in the bureaux of the Assembly.
The first bureau, by a majority of 22 to 45, decided for
only one chamber. The seventh and ninth bureaux
also declared for one chamber. The fourteenth voted,
by a majority of 23 to 10, for two. The eleventh bureau
having decided that the President should only be in
power three years, M. de Las Cases yesterday presented
an amendment to enable him to be re elected for three
other years, but M. A. Thouret warmly opposed it as
likely to endanger the republic. On a division the
vot*s for and against were equal, so that there was no
decision. The bureaux decided that the President's sa-
lary should be maintained at 600,000 f., after rejecting

the proposal of one member to make it 1,000,000 f., and
of another to educe it to 500,000 f. Some bureaux
discussed the question of the duration of the present
Assembly, and the majority appeared of opinion that it
ought to be maintained for 12 or 15 months, so as to
allow all the organic laws to be voted. The tenth
bureau, to which M.Garnier Pagt'lt,Nl.Cremieux,and
M. de Cormenin belong, has voted that a fixed and per-
manent committee of seventy-eight members shall be
nominated to represent the Assembly during adjourn-
ments. After a long and warm discussion, M. Gamier
Pages, in opposition to M. de Cormenin, M. Cremieux,
M. Isambert, and others, caused to be adopted a reso-
lution to the effect that no search warrant shall be
executed in the house of a representative without the
authorisation of the Avembly. The tenth bureaa
has nominated M. Cremieux, and the thirteenth, M.
Freston, to be t:elegates to the Committee on the Con-
stitution, for the purpose of making known the
opinions expressed in their bureaux, but without
taking part in the ulterior deliberations of the com-
mittee.

The Union says " The arrest of a high functionary
of the previous administration of the department of
war, was spoken of yesterday at the National Assem-
bly. This person, whose name we keep back until
we shalt have received more ample information, has
been, it was said, arrested on the gravest inculpation,
and accu,ed, if not of complicity, at least of great
negligence, in the last insurrection. Several other
impertant arrests were also spoken of."
The clubs of Toulouse are agitating. One has just
decreed the dissolution of the National Assembly,
and another the condemnation to death of General
Lamoricii: re !

Le So/at Public of Lyons, of the Bth, has the follow-
ing : " It is said that M. Felix Blanc, Col. of artillery,
of the National Guard of Lyons, who was at Paris
daring the events of June, was arrested on his re•urn
to Lyons."
The courier from Paris to Lyons was detained on the
Gth, at Joignv, in come quence of a telegraphic des-
patch, ordering the Prefets to search the mails of that
day, as they contained a vast project of insurrection
addressed to the Lyonnese insurgents. We do not
know the result of this search.
The commission of accounts of the Assembly, has
proposed thecompletere-organization of the short-hand
service, to remove the presses and establishment of
the Moniteur into one of the buildings belonging to
the Assembly, and to constitute the short-hand writers
public offs, ern attached to the Assembly.
'the establishment of short-hand writers is to con-
sist of 15 persona Five r, v:sers at B,ooof rants. Two
note takers and revisors at 5,600 francs. Eight note
talc, rs at 4,800 francs.
The note-takers are placed at the left side of the
tribuoc, and take notes by turns, the turn of each
lasting two minutes.
The revisors are placed at the right, and also take
notes, changing each quarter of an hour.
The note-takers are, immediately after taking their
notes, to make a transcript.
The revisors, by aid of the notes they themselves
have taken, revise the transcripts made by the note-
takers.
