LATEST FROM PARIS.

PARlS.'Wensr,:uAr, f 30 p m.
The present Minister of the Interior, M. ltecurt,
is showing some disposition to correct the flagrant
abuses practised by his predecessor, M. Ledru-
Roll in.
Among the doings of the latter gentleman during
his provisional ministry, one of the most notable wa,
the notninatioa of an individual named Ilonniss,
one of the mo-t furious orators of Illanqui's
club, to be Prefect of the department of La (lard. M.
Recurt has very unceremoniously dislodged this per-
son, by a telegraphic despatch, dated the 19th, which
announced simply that M.'llouret was nominated pro-
visional Prefect, and that Bunnies was dismissed.
It appears that the announcement of M. Elias
Regnault to be Chief Secretary of the Prefecture of
Police has been unfounded, or at least premature.
Yesterday a waggon was stopped at the barrier,
loaded with six barn Is of gunpowder. In the house
to which these were addressed a search being imme-
diately made, forty-four cases of muskets were found.
The number of troops of all arms now in Paris is
45,000.

NATIONAL ASSEMBLY-WEDNESDAY.

The alarming rep:rts that were current yesterday at the
,leis Bourbon were not repeated to-day.
The report of the resignation of the Executive Commission
has °sued wholly to be credited.
The number of troops that guard the Chamber was to-day
reduced to the ordinary number.
The sitting was opened at one o'clock. It commenced
with the presentation of a host of petitions and propositions
of no geeeral interest. when an untzpected incident arose,
which excited much attention.
The Peet:weer announced that he bad received a letter
from the Prince de Joinville and the Duc d'Aumale, and
another from the Duc de Nemours, which he proposed to
refer to the committee of the decree as to Louis Philippe and
his family.
A great number of Voices: Read! read! (Lively curiosity
was excited in all parts of the Assembly.)
The Pueet neer then read the following letters, received
from the Dukes of Nemours and Aumale and the Prince de
Joinville:
Ilkfty 19, 1849,
Y. le President, —The public journals inform us of a projected
decree to exclude us altogether front France. The RCatimeuts with
which that project inepirea us removes the re-erve which till now we
had imposed upon ourselves. Wc had hoped that this reserve, en-
tirely patriotic, would have ben appreciated. The Assembly met ;
it proceeded, in Ito independence and its sovereignty, to vote the new
constitution, and we did not with in the most of its deliberations to
occupy it with the expremion of our personal wishes.
We considered that, in quitting Algiers at the fleet appeal to oar
pats iottom, we hatinthed to the country a solemn Kea of our
firm intention not to disunite France, as we had t stifled the respect
with which we accented the appeal made to the nation.
We flitter ourselves, thereicre, that the country cannot think of
repelling us who hove always loyally and faithfully wry"! it, In our
professions, whether naval or military.
The pr. ject of the decree, however, showy that some have thought
otherwise, and the moment chosen to produce it constitutes, besides,
an assimilation which we cannot accept.
Exempt Irsro all personal ambition, we protist, before the repro.
tentative. of the tuition, against a meiwure from which a knowledge of
our previous services and our sentiments should have guaranteed ws.
Deign, Sir, to place that letter beore the National Aasembly, sad
receive the liallranCe of our high consideration.
