PARIS, TIICIEDAT EVENING:

To-day the Committee of Permanence held • sit-
ting, at which all the members were present, except-
ing M. Dupin, the questor de l'anat, and secretary
of the Aseembly, M. Berard. M. Berryer, who made
his appearance for the first time, was observed to be
engaged long in conversation with General Chan-
gatuier. The measure of putting the departments
of the Cher and Nievre in a state of .siege was ap-
proved by all the members present, excepting MM.
Ivan and Didier, the latter of whom moved that the
Ministers of War and the Interior should be ex-
amined on this subject. General Bedeau remarked
that the Assembly alone could judge of the right of
of the government to apply the state of siege, and
that the ministers would answer for the act from the
tribune. M. Didier's motion was rejected by
thirty-two votes against two. The complete
tranquillity of the metropolis and the suppression
of disorders in the departments of the centre having
been affirmed, the committee adjourned their next
sitting to Monday, reserving the liberty of meeting
before, in case a ministry should be formed.
The Constilutionnel contains the following state-

briefs in consequence of the partiality with which'
the proceedings were conducted. The Minister of
Justice ordered the procureurs-general of the bars to
which these advocates belonged to lay complaints
against them before the respective Councils of Disci-
pline. In consequence of this the Council of the
Order of Ljons suspended the advocates belonging
to that bar for a month ; and the Council of the
Order .of Bourges has juspended M. Michel (de
I3ourges) for three months. The latter decision went
by default, M. Michel (de Ilourges) not having ap-
peared.
Marie Therese, daughter of Louis XVI. and the
Duchess of Angouleme, expired at Frohsdorf on the
morning of the 19th inst., after a few days' illness,
said to have originated in an attack of cold. A few
lines, not unpathetic, from an old servant of the
elder branch of the Bourbons, Count de Pastoret,
lamenting the decease of this princess, inured from
her earliest years to the most awful trials of adver-
sity, are inserted in the Assemblec Nationale. The
princess died in her 71IrtTyear.
The Jfmiiteur contains an important reform pi o-
posed by the Minister of War, and approved by the
President concerning the organisation of the cavalry.
The plan is designed with the object of always hav-
ing regiments of cavalry ready to march, and general
officers to command them, who know them and are
known by them. Of the 51 regiments of cavalry in
France, nine divisions are formed, two of the north,
two of the cast, one of the west, two of the centre,
and two of the south (Alps and Pyren(vs). Each of
these divisions
.is to form nn arrondissement of in-

spection, to be inspected several years in succession
by the same general officer. The organisation upon
each great fraction of the territory of divisions of
cavalry ready to be put on a footing of war, provides
for the eventuality of the formation of armies on the
frontier. The approximation of regiments of the
same arm by assigning to them conterminous garri-
sons, prepares their union in brigades and divisions,
and the formation of arronuissements of inspection
confided fur several years to the same general officer,
paves the way to command for the ease of war.
