NEWS FROM PARIS.

STATE OF PARTIES.

IMPORTANT FROM ROME.

PARIS, Moyoay, 11 a M.
Although the Assembly had no meeting yester-
day, a large ',umber of its members collected in the
different committee-rooms, associating themselves in
groope, accordaig to their prevailing opinions. The
party of the minority of the Provisional Government,
including Messrs. Ledru Rollin, Flacon, Louis
Blanc, Albert, Iltrbtls, Etienne and Emmanuel
Arago, amounting to from sixty to eighty mem-
bers, met in one of the rooms. The two questions
which enaged the attention of the members
were the interim government and the definitive
constitution of the reputlic, bat the former,
being more pressing, was naturally the prevailing
topic. I; V 7.111 understood that, in the meeting we
have just alluded to, a resolution was unanimously
adopted to support a proposition for retaining
the present Prov.si..nal Government in office until
the constitution should be declared.
In the other room., opinion was divided, but it was
generally agreed that a homogeneous interim govern-
ment ought to be established. Some advocated a
single interim president, to be invested with the ex-
ecutive, others that the executive should be vested in
a commission of three, five, or seven persons, and
others again that the assembly should merely appoint
a ministry to carry on the government until a consti-
tution should he di dared.
It was said that M. Lamartine declined to take
a place in the interim government unless M. Ledru
Rollin were included; and on the other hand that
M. Nlarrast dr din d any share in it unless M. Ledru
Rollin Were excluded.
In another meeting, consisting of about eighty
deputii a, it was propreierl that the interim government
should consist of MM. Lamartine, Ledru Rollin,
Arago, Marre,Rethmont, and Msrrast. It was said also,
that, notwithstanding the recommendation of M.
Lamartine. tent slime shall be no selection from the
Provisional Government, there is no doubt that the
Chamber will choose a committee composed of persons
who entertain his (Lamartine's) ideas of government.
During the *perch of M. Louis Blanc, on Saturday
(says the AssestAire Nittimmie), load bravos issued
from a galls ry Assigned by NI. Ledru-Rollin to the
delegates lrom the clubs. M. Degousi.,e, one of the
queistore, went up to them, and, with praise-worthy
firmness and dignity, declared the, at the very next
mark of approhition or disapprobation, he would
have the galiery cleared. The Assembly has regained
that dignity which was seriously compromised at the
first sitting by the audacious attempt at
made by some, aid deeply regretted by others.
Attempts (says the Prease) were made 011 Saturday
to stick up incendiary proclamations in the Faubourg
Saint Antoine, hut they were torn down by workmen,

It is known, says the Messayer, that M. Blanqui
and his club have protested with violence against the
summons to Paris of the 28th regiment, which had the
misfortune to have to combat for order at Lyons in
1634, and at It men in 1818. The non-commissioned
officers of thin regiment have just replied to this attack

PAPAL STATER. - Regarding the revolutionary
movement which, u we have already announced, took
place at Rome on the let instant, we have the fol-
lowing further particulars. The Roman people,
learning that the Austrian party began to exert con-
siderable influence in the councils o. the Pope, got up
demonstrations, the object of which was to demand
that war should be declared against Austria.
Pius IX. having assembled the College of
Cardinals at a secret consistory, there pronounced
an allocution, which threw Rome into dr gresteet

Roman troops was to protect the States of the
Church ; and that fw them to have ping the Poi
would have been for theta to infant, Ids aim
Demonstrations having taken plasm in oosoetronoe of
this discourse, the ministry, en mane, sent in its re-
signation, which the Pope refused to accept. The
national guard was pasted at the gates of the city,
and allowed no one in the costume of a priest to
;slue therefrom.
On the night of Saturday, April 20, the clubs sat
all night. They decided upon giving the Pope till
the 30th to change his resolution. On the Ist May
the people rose. There are but few troop. of the
line in Rome. if the Pope persists in refusing to de-
clare war against Austria, a Provisional Government
will no doubt bo established. Pius IX. will still be
Bishop of Rome.
In the new ministry Terengio Idaratini will have
the portfolio of foreign affairs.
The Pope's answer is momentarily expected.

We have received the Madrid mails of the 3rd

importance.

POLITICAL CRISIS.

PROCEEDINGS OF TIIE ASSEMBLY

PARIS, MONnAT, 6 PIC
Considerable uneasiness has prevailed throughout
the day respecting the effect likely to be produced by
the expected decision of the assembly as to the interim
government. The large majority of the assembly
being decidedly hostile to the minority of the Pro-
visional Government and the ultra democratic party
of which they are the leaders, and a large number
of them having been expressly commissioned by their
constituents to vote for the exclusien of Ledru.Rollin
and the other members of the ministry from any par-
ticipation in power, one of two things must ensue.
Either the large majority of the assembly and of the
nation which it represents must bow before MM.
Ledru Rollin, Flocon, and Louis Blanc, or it must,
by excluding them, provoke the attack of the scum of
the Faubourg. which stand at their back, ready for
action. That such is the alternative is not only un-
derstood, but explicitly announced by the journals of
the ultra party.
We are certain (says the journal of M. Ledru Rollin) that
the constituent will not renounce the acclamations of the
people, and that, after a mature examination, it will bow
before the men who nobly and viliantly accomplished
the revolution; but if the constituent, the offspring
of the election, renounce its purest,—the revolution,
then we will leave these delegates to their fancies,
and we will all forth the people. We already ful-
filled this duty under the monarchy, and we are ready to
fulfil it again under the republic.
Thus the situation is clearly defined. M. Louis
Blanc, the phamphleteer ; M. Flocoo, the reporter ;
and Albert (ourrser), with their adherents, the mob,
will rule the Assembly and France. If the majority
do not fulfil their behests they will appeal to the mob,
' and another 24th of February will be enacted in the
streets.
Notwithstanding this state of things, an improve-
ment took place at the Baum° to-day. The Threes
closing at 47i, having previously reached 47; ; and
the Fives closing at 69.1, after having reached 70
cask.
P.S.—Six o'clock.—At the moment of closing
my despatches, I learn that the other members
of the government and ministers having sever-
ally read their reports, M. Lamartine com-
menced his statement as Minister of Foreign Affairs,
a little before four o'clock. I send 76a a resume of
his address, which was concluded aehalf-past five,
when the Assembly adjourned until this evening,
when they will hold another session, to resolve on the
l interim government.

NATIONAL ASSEMBLY.--MozDAT.
Public curiosity appears to flag. This morning, be-
fore the doors were opened, the "queue" did not
exhibit above 100 persons. The vendors of tickets
were, however, still to be seen offering their wares
for sale.
In the interior of the palace, the " Salle de Pas
Perdue," where formerly deputies and journalists met,
and news circulated, and where not long since, the
famous reform banquet, the prelude of the revolution,
was concerted—has lost its wonted aspect. The only
news which circulated there to-day related to two
met ings which took place this morning at nine, con-
sisting of members of opposite parties.
In the 14th bureau the moderates met, ander the
presidency of M. Martin (of Strasbourg), where it
was agreed to propose to vest provisionally the execu-
tive power in a committee of five members, and to
charge the same committee with presenting a project
of a constitution. The five members proposed were
MM. Lamariine, Ledru Rollin, Gamier Pages,
Arago, and Marie.
The other meeting, in the 17th bureau, under the
presidency of M. Trelat, at which attended M.
Ledru Rollin and the other members of the minority
of the Provisonal 6.ivernment, decided to propose
that the present government should be continued
provisionally, bat that MM. Lammennais and
Beranger should be added to it, and that it should
be charged with preparing a constitution. It was
added that a little before the hour of entering the
hall of the assembly, a conference took place between
the two meeting., and that it had been decided that
' the combination proposed by the 11 bureau should
be adopt d.
However, nothing was yet decidedly determined,
because it was cee tain that the majority of the mem-
le re would rote for M. Marrast instead of M. Ledru
Rollin.
At the opening of the sitting it was remarked with
astonishment that the diplomatic tribune was unoc-
cupied, although it was announced that the principal
part of the members of the diplomatic body had ap-
pointed to meet to hear the report of M. Lamar-
tine of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
The ladies tribune was filled with ladies, who.
from their dress, appeared to be principally from the
provinces.
In the public tribunes there was an enormous num-
ber of men in blouses.
The session of the assembly commenced at a quarter-
past 12, under the presidency of M. Buches.
The President announced that the beaurauz
would meet this evening, to name a commission
charged with framing the political constitution, the
constitution of labour, and of petitions.
'I he Minister of Finance (M. Gander Pees) then
resumed the reading of his report.
The minister spoke in a voice so feeble as to be
almost inaudible in the gallery. Among the more
prominent points of his report we collected the
following :
Ist. That the fallen government had taken the deposits of
the savings hanks.
2nd. That the Provisional Government bad left at the
tie
disposal of the National Assembly property of the civil
representing • nerve of 100 millions, the domain of the
state having the same value as the crown diamonds.
In speaking of the Treasury Bons, he said that the
issue of these required a law ; that to the holders of
them an alternative had been offered, either in pay-
ment at 5 per cent. at par, or a postponement of pay-
ment for 6 months.
Undoubtedly a more efficacious measure might have
been adopted, but respect for the sovereignty of the
people commanded that the question should be re-
served for the assembly.

The increased expense of all branches of the pnblie
service created serious embarrassment, but, thanks to
the impulsion, at once wise and its., given to our
foreign relation., the reorgasiastioa of the army and
navy was more easy tbaa amid have been expected.
We declared to Rump, that we would bring war
upon no power, bat that we would firmly repulse all
alfgression, from whatever quarter it might proceed.
The report oonclnded with a panegyric on the Seta
of the Provisional Government.
M. Arago and the other ministers next presented
their reports, which were listened to with manifest
impatience, the assembly expecting and desiring to
bear M. Lamartine who finally ascended the tribune.
There were, he said, two parties is presence after the tote i
revolution—those who thought war the necessary come.
mutant of a republic, and those who looked for liberty,
peace, and prosperity as perfectly presible. For his
part, he belonged to the latter close, and though war miabt
become indipinsable, though Franc* might be forced to
have recourse to arms,
_yet be thought peace ought to he
aim ed at constantly. The whole policy of the foreign de-1
pertinent of France, since he had taken its direction, might
hi comprised in two words—armed diplomacy. The people,'
it appeared to him, had willed by the revolution three'
things—a republic; democratic progress, clearly avowed;'
and peace, if possible, accompanied by prosperity and
plenty. The honourable deputy then said that he
should endeavour to show that the system which
he had adopted was perfectly suited to the pre-
sent position of affairs. Ho thought that in doing
so, the National Assembly would riot think is necessary for
him to read a sketch which he had prepared of the state of
Europe after 1815. (Cries of " No, no.") He should thee
proceed to remark on the position of France, as to beiii
foreign pubey, after the revolution of July. In place of
standing forth amongst the nations of Europe in bee
strength, she had stood aput in a state of isolation aad
subalternity. There were two courses which might
have beets ad ipted after that event—either to deceits
war on Europe, or to adopt a system of peace, feunded sm
the fraternity of stations. The government which existed
after the revolution of July did nee her, and in consequence
it had reduced France to a state of deep humiliation. The
bun. member then proceeded to give a sketch of the mate
in Europe since the revolution of February 24, with a view'
to prove that the several nations were actuated by the same
democratic feelings as France, and that consequently there
was no enemy of auy power attacking France. Ile alluded
to the events in Austria, Prussia, Sicily, and Italy ; spoke of
Switzerland, Russia, and the various partsol Germany; in fact,
went through the *hole of Europe, and drew the conclusion
that France might remain as she was, at peace, but prepared
for all events. Prussia and Auntie could out act, he remarked,
sgsioet the will of their people. Swi,zerland, Italy, Sicily,
and the smaller German states were of the same opinion as
France, and sympathised with hi r most heartily. England
could not suspect France of any dt sire of meddling in Spain ;
Russia had Poland to look to. Whence, then, heal France
to dread the attack ? (Loud cheere.) Formerly, France,
with her thirn -six millions, wts isolated; now she stood
in the closest bonds of fraternity with the greatest pan
of the nation, of Europe, and, far from fearing war from
them, could look to them for aid. Under the late go.
vernment all was confusion, and now all was the vent), ul
democratic principles. The honourable minister coneluded
by expressing a firm belief that France, though fully
prepared for war, if, unfortunately, that course should be
called tor, would be able to remain at peace with the whole
world, and curry out the views of democratic progress
which ought to be the principal characteristic of a republic.
(Loud ch. ere)
M. RottniitAU said, that he had to propose, first, that the
members of the Provisional Government had merited well
of their count, y (great cheering), and next that an executive
committee be appointed, founding of live members, whose
names were the following (the loud. at dis.ipprobation
here buret out from the benches of the moderate party, and
every time the hon. memb. r attempted to read the names,
fresh interruption prevented him; nits of " It is a surpeise,"
You have given no notice," buret out frum several
benches.)
Great tumult haying arisen, the President suddealy put
oat his hat, which was to signify that the seting wee sun-
pended fur half-an-hour. This would give honoured/ mem.
ben an opportunity of coming to some understanding.
During this cessation of the proceedings, i: was stated that
the proposition had been agreed to in the morning at a
meeting of the ultra-republicans, and that the live names in.
tended to be b ought forward were Mid Lamartine, Arago,
Ledra Rollin, G.rnier Pages, and Marie.
When the public sitting was resumed,
M. Rovitagat: said that he should maintain the part of
his proposition refining to the vote of thanks to the Pro-
visioasl Government, and to the appointment of an execu-
tive committee, with power to appoint r. spousible ministers,
but he should omit the names ('• Ah, alt," and approbation).
The hon. member then read the proposition to that effect.
M. Bs tune rushed up the tribune, and cried out that
he couid not coincide in that opinion. (Oh, oh)
Before the assembly passed any such vote, be must cell on
them, in the name of the people, to demand an account of
several mutters coovnitted by the government against the
population. Let them call tor an account of the massacres
at Rouen. (Loud disapprobation, which rendered the hon.
member's voice inaudiule.)
M. Remain), the Government Commissioner at Rouen,
replied with great energy to M. Barbee, and after some
weeds from M. Cremieux, in defence of the government, the
question was put—" That the Provisional Government has
well merited from the country ;" when the iramenat maps.
rity declared in the affirmative, only two persons having
stood up against it.
The Chamber separated at half-past five, having
decided to re-ass, mble in the evening, fur the purpose
of nominating the commission of executive power.
