NEWS FROM PARIS.

MMEDIATE INVASION OF SICILY.

MISCARRIAGE OF THE QUEEN OF SPAIN.

PARIS, TUESDAT,
In adverting to the parties which have figured as
the leaders of the club of the Palais Royal, some of
the Paris journals had mentioned the names of NUM.
Lamartine, Ledru Rollin, Caussidiere, Albert, Barbee,
and Louis Blanc as among its leaders. This has
elicited a public disavowal by Glais Bizoio, the
president, who writes to the Journal drs Mals, that
not one of these individuals ever set foot within the
club. He declares that the club adopts no other prin-
ciple or flag than the following, " universal suffrage—
one chamber - an elective responsible president—and
the right of labour."

A meeting was held last night at the club of the
Rue de Poitiers which was most numerously at-
tended, and at which a discussion took place involv-
ing the consideration of the present condition of the
country, as well in its internal state as in its foreign
relations, and including an appreciation of the policy
of the present and past administrations since the
revolution of February. The debate was opened
by M. Leon Faucher, who in an elaborate speech
developed views and sentiments on the present situa-
tion and prospects of France, whick received the
general concurrence of the meeting. Ile said that
the real prefect of police is still Causaidiere, from whom
M. l)ucoux takes all his inspiration; Lamartine rules
the foreign affairs under the name of Bastide ; and
Ledru Rollin rules Lamartine. The anarchist
journals, such as La Reforme and La Dona-
eratie Paefflque, have been allowed to pour forth
daily their furious invectives against every prin-
ciple of social order, while the respectable journals of
La Preme and L'Assemblie Nationale are suppressed.
M. Leon Faucher concluded a somewhat violent
speech with a proposition either that a deputation
should be sent to express the sense of the meeting to
General Cavaignac, or that interpellations should be
made and a debate raised In the assembly.. .

After some observations from MM. Mau-
guin, Puvergier d'Hauranne, and Degoussee. , who
concurred generally in the sentiments expressed by
M. Leon Faucher, but deprecated any systematic or
factious opposition to government at the present
moment, the discussion was adjourned till the next
meeting. This adjournment was thought the more
desirable as it happened that M. Thiers was not
present.
The ltbmiterer of this morning contains the decrees
of the National Assembly for the distribution of
00,000 francs among the theatres, by equal fort-
nightly instalments between this and the Ist Oct. ;
and that for the free admission and maintenance of the
pupils of the Polytechnic School, after Oct., 1830.
It was stated yesterday at the assembly, says the
Patric, that the Minister of Finances has decided
upon withdrawing the bill of M. Duclerc for a pro-
gremive duty upon legacies and successions, and upon
donations inter riros.

The Madrid mails with the journals and corre-
spondence to the 20th have arrived.
A telegraphic despatch had arrived at Madrid on
the 20th, from IA Granja, announcing the miscarriago
of the Queen, arising, it was said from same personal
imprudence, but no details were given. Physicians
were sent to La Granja from Madrid. All receptions
and court ceremonies were postponed.

NAPLES.—A letter from our Naples corres-
pondent of the 17th inst., brings the important news
that immediately on the arrival at Naples of the in-
telligence of the election of the Duke of Genoa as
K; of Sicily, preparations on an extensive scale for
the invasion of Sicily were made. Orders were issued
to prepare all the steam frigates, and gun boats
in the bay and harbour, and all the commer-
cial steamers were seized as well as every description
of boat capable of carrying arms. The sailors em-
ployed in the coasting trade, not only at Naples but
at all the islands, were impressed—every expedient
was resorted to to augment the army. It was calcu-
lated that the forces available for the invasion con-
sisted of about 20,000 troops in Calabria, about 5,000
in the fortress of Messina, and 6,000 or 8,000 at Na-
ples. It was expected that the embarkation would
take place about the 20th, and that the forces would
be landed at. Syracuse. Our correspondent, how-
ever, after inspecting the condition of the steamers,
doubted the practicability of this.
The liberal party were in high spirits, feeling a
confidence that the Sicilians, aided by Charles Albert,
would certainly prevail against the royal troops.
The British merchants resident in Naples were
mile to contribute to the forced loan. The Five per
Cents. fell to 854.

LONIBARDII.—The Turin journals of the 21st
announce a victory obtained at Governolo by General
Bava over 2,000 Austrians, from whom be has taken a
standard, two pieces of cannon, and 300 prisoners.
Tne Sardinian head-quarters were at Marmirolo,
within five miles of Mantua. Among the prisoner,
taken by General, Bava and sent to Cremona, were
nine officers, including one field officer.

LATEST FROM PARIS.

PARIS, TUESDAY, 6 30 P.M.

The discussion in the Assidirblv to-daY was upon
the proposed law of the clubs. The ensemble of the
proposed project produced no debate, and the As-
sembly proceeded immediately to the articles. Mui h
amusement was produced by the ardour with which
M. Flocon assailed that clause of the measure
which interdicted the presence or participation of
females at the debates. Some objections were also
made to that article which proposed that a magistrate
shouM be present at their meetings, but the Assembly
appeared to take little interest in the general discus-
sion, the greater part of the articles having been suc-
cessively voted. The 13th article only, which sub-
jects every club to be licensed by the municipal
authorities, occasioned a lively discussion.
It was attacked by MM. Defalleux, Durieu, and
I)ufaure, as being even more stringent than the mea-
sures directed against popular assemblies under the
monarchy. MM. Senard, Coquerel, Baze, and Dapin
(ainO, defended it, as necessary to the execution of the

At the departure of our reporter it seemed probable
that the article would be adopted.
M. Marrast, who presided today, has given un-
expected satisfaction to the Assembly.
Yesterday evening, at seven o'clock, the government
' removed the seals from the printing offices and
bureaux of La Presse. The prohibition against its

various occurrence., political, financial, and literary,
since its suppression.
Within a few days orders have been given to allow
no persons to visit the insurgent prisoners, not even
those furnished with permits of Gen. Bertrand, or
any member of the National A isembly.
It is stated that the sequestration under which the
Orleans Railway is placed is about to be taken off.
The board of directors has appointed M. Nloeirlhou
director of the company, and M. Poloaceau, Jun.,

The Minister of Public Works has issued the fol- ,
lowing decree, dated the 22nd :—" All citizens who
have tilled any functions whatever in the service of the
ateliers nationaux are held bound to obey the injune-
tionsof the Commission of Liquidation, established by
the decree of lat June last, under pain of being pro-
ceeded against as withholders of the public money."
The Committee on the Constitution met yesterday,
with the 13 gentlemen chosen in the bureaux. M.
Marrast, the President of the Assembly, having at-
tended, was offered, according to the custom of the
old Chamber, the Presidentship of the Committee, but
he declined the honour, asking to be allowed to
merely preserve his functions of reporter. M. de
Cormenin, in consequence, continued to occupy the
President's chair.

The tour military commissions lately instituted by
the chief of the Executive Government, to assist in
examining the files of examinations against the
prisoners of Juno, base not yet commenced their
sittings. Rooms are being prepared for them
at the Palais de Justice. The four commissions
originally nominated met on Sunday and yeiker-
day. They have already examined about 400
cases. On an average, one half of the prisoners are
set at liberty after an investigation into the charges
against them, their release taking plac: within
twenty-four hours of the decision. The other half
