PARIS, TCZSDAT EVINING.
The results of the sitting of the Chamber to-day
were highly important.
The extension of the prorogation was carried, as
I hare clearly stated, by the concert of the Club of
tahgeretiramides with the Rue de ltiroli. It has been
that the board of the Assembly should be ap-
pointed at the same time with the committee of
permanence.

The report of M.Manesean, after dwelling at much
length on the advantages of an intermission of par-
liamentary labours, expresses confidence that the
past difficulties experienced in the working of the
last permanent committee, will prove a wholesome
lesson for the guidance of the next, and looks forward
with confidence to the prevalence of undisturbed
harmony between the powers. The date of August
10 for the commencement of the vacation, is stated
to be preferred to that of August 18, not for the main
reason of the expiration of the powers of the board
upon the 12th, but because the thinning benches will
hardly furnish a house up to August 18, the date
proposed by M. de Melun. In the meanwhile, the
Assembly will have time to complete the necessary
discussion of that part of the budget relating to the
land-tax, before the meeting of the councils-general.
After M. Sautayra had spoken alone upon the
general question of the motion for prorogation, M.
Valentin was heard in favour of an amendment
moved by himself and M. Cholat, proposing that the
prorogation should not commence until the promul-
gation of the first book of the law on internal admi-
nistration. The amendment was opposed by MM.
Vatimesuil and St. Itoumme, and rejected by the
Assembly. The prorogation from the 10th August
to the 4th November was adopted by 420 votes
against 232. M. Creton then demanded that his
motion for abrogating the laws of exile against the
Bourbons, which was adjourned to the Ist Sept., and
cannot then be discusscsi, owing to the prorogation,
should be placed on the order of the day for Monday
next. This motion was rejected. M. Creton's mo-
tion has therefore been postponed until after the
prorogation.
M. Huguenin developed, amid the buzz of pri-
vate conversation, a proposition tending to make in-
surances fall within the province of the state. M.
lupin took this opportunity to solicit the attention
of the Assembly in fuvour of the distressed popula-
tion of the Niksre, whose dwellings and harvests
have been dreadfully ravaged by hail-storms and
a mysterious blight which has devastated the de-
partment in a hand of four leagues breadth. The
motion of M. Huguenin was rejected. The bill re-
lative to the purchase of the preference shares of the
four canals was then adopted on tho first reading.
The committee for examining the bill relative to
the 6th million loan by the city of Paris, have ap-
pointed M. Gouin to be president, and M. Desmarou
seeretarv.
Yesteiday was distributed in the Assembly the
report of M. Leverrier on telegraphic lines. The
committee proposes the following new lines : from
Tonncrre to Chalons, from Tours to Poitiers, from
Angers to Nantes, from Metz to Nancy, from Sam-
bourg to Strasbourg, from Amiens to Boulogne, from
Rouen to Dieppe, from Paris to Lc Loupe, from
Chalons-sur.3larne to Barleduc, from Angouleme to
Bordeaux.

A mass was celebrated this morning in the church
of St. Paul, in remembrance of the three days of
•

July. A large congregation attended. During the
day several crowns of ouniortelics have been thrown
at the foot of the column of July.
The directors of the Mint received, about twenty
days since, 26 millions of francs in gold ingots from
California, by way of the United States.
The Mint of l'aris is now coining for the Swiss
cantons money to the amount of 15 millions of
francs, iu pieces of silver and copper, with a mixture
of zinc. The Strasbourg mint is also coining the
same metal, to the value of 5 or 6 millions.

A cession by the state to the city of Paris of the
Bois de Boulogne is in contemplation, the city un-
dertaking to make vast improvements, so as to add
to the convenience and beauty of the promenades.
The Central European Committee, which holds its
sittings in London, has issued in the I'roscrit
another manifesto, couched is the usual mystic
style, to the I'ules, and signed by Mazzini, Ledru-
Bailin, and three others.

The funds aguined opened with much buoyancy,
and the Fives at one moment touched 9.3.93, but
there was a reaction towards the close. The Fives
closed at 93.75, with a fall of ilk. ; and the Threes
at 57.40, with a fall of sc.

ITALY.

The of Turin, speaks of a rumour that
10,000 Austrians are marching upon Naples.

PIEDMONT.

The leenir, of Nice, of the 23rd, states that a Pied-
montese inspector of customs has visited the French
frontier of that country, with a view to establish a
line of custom-houses. It adds, however, that the

. nature of the country is so favourable to smuggling,
that it is considered next to impossible to prevent it.

DENMARK.

The Kjubenharen Pates positively denies the
truth of the report, that the Danish succesaion ques-
tion bad been settled by a family agreement among
the claimants.
