EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

(11ON 091 OWN CORRNSPONDENT.)

EvEN2s,.
The violent outcry of the protectionists against the
bill abolishing prohibitions in the tariff has forced the
government to raise the duties substituted for prohi.
bilious to an amount considerably beyond what WAS
at first proposed. A bill containing the modifications
concedtel in the hope of calming the alarmed menu-
facturere was presented to the Corps Legislatif yes.
terday. This evening's Paya is instructed to say
that the new duties are, in the opinion of practical
men, amply protective. The public is also entreated
to reflect that the government can have no interest
in drying up the sources of national industry, and
to believe that the government being at the head of
a permanent court of inquiry into the economical
position of Preece, is enabled to proportion the
tariff to all the necessities of the situation. By col-
lecting and centralising the information from various
sources, which cannot be accessible at once to any
private individual, the government is more
able than either individual theorists, on the one
hand, or those concerned in particular interests, on the
other, to know what the general good of the country
requires. The Pattie makes ano less earnest appeal
to public confidence in this matter. It assures the
protectionists that the Emperor has made no cont.
pact with free trade; that he is wedded to no party
but the party of right and justice; and that if, after
discussion, it shall be made to appear that the pro-
posed duties are even yet not high enough, the
government will be the first to offer to raise them.
At the same time the Patric says pretty roundly that
pure and simple prohibition must be considered aa
thing of the past.
The following is the exyost.; des motels of the bill
for settling 600,000 fr. Rentes upon the heirs of the
late Queen of the Belgians, the Duchess of Saxe
Coburg Gotha, and the heirs of the Duchess of War.
temberg :
The Prince President of the Republic, being et the time
invested with plenary legislative power. made a decree on
January 22, 1852, which, for reasons grounded on the old
public law of Preece, reyored to the awe the or operty
comprised in the donation made by King ',lois reit:tee
to his children on August 7, 18.40. This decree,
maimed by a second, of March 27, 1852, has
received its comtlete and regular execution. Teo
a'miaistration of the domains of the crown took definitive
poueulon of the reel and other property comprised in tho'
donation, and has slier ated a part of it. But it has ap-
peared ti his Majesty that a measure prescribed by reasons
of state, and justified by the ancient rale, of the monarchy,
may be modified, so far as regards the three princesses,
daughters of Louis Philippe. These three princesses were
among the number of the king's childr. n mentioned in the
act of August 7. Ate later period they settled the pro-
perty conferred upon them by this dotetfoo so marriage
portions. The marr.age portion (dor) of a prircees who
her country to enter a foreign family may
be considered as one of the reasons for AA
marriage. Moreover, the treaty of Paris of Msr:h 00 bee
happily re-established puce between the great powers of
Europa ; this treaty is doubtless destined to roam, and
even to create, friendly relations between the sovereign
houses of Europe. Muter these circumstances, the Empe-
ror has desired to adopt, with regard to these three
princesses, a measure which the international character of
their matrimonial contracts and the actual state of our re-
lations with Europe, permit the equity and benevolenee of
has g. yernment to take. It is to realise this idea, that the
Emperor c remands us to submit to your sanct:oe the fol-
lowing ferojet de loi:
[ I he teat of the bill has already be en published ]

At the Bourse the Rente opened with much &m-
-ime, at an advance of nearly half a franc upon yes-
terda3's prices. It was very well sustained for
some time, but in the afternoon considerable sales
in the parquet caused a reaction lor account. The
last prices were 71fr. and 71fr. ac., being a rise of
20c. both for cash and account. Credit Mobilier
rose 10fr. All the railways improved, and although
the highest prices of the day were not sustained,
Orleans left off with a rise of 20fr.; Eastern, 10fr.;
Mediterranean and Geneva, Ifirr. each ; St. Ram.
bert, 16fr. ; and other lines from 2tr. 50e. to Cdr.

It has been mentioned that the Municipal Council
of Nantes had desired to be allowed to offer a residence
to the Imperial Prince. The Aram )logical Society
of France, which happened to be sitting at Neuter
when the vote was passed, have recommeeded the
municipality to buy the old palace of the Dukes of
Brittany, which, they say, might easily be converted
into a superb palatial dwelling.
M. Place, of the Societe du Credit Mobilier, was
expected at Constantinople, with • view, among vs.
rions other competitor', to the organise, ion of a bank.
Preparations on an extensive scale were being set on
foot ior his reception, and a palace at Buyukdere was
on the point of being taken and furnished hand.

message put a full stop to the preparations, by the
startling announcement of M. Place's failure.
