consciences. Tun will find in all the ministers of religion a
readiness to answer your appeal. They hail with sincere
homage the establiehatent of the republic. They find in it

fraternity, revealed to the world by the gospel, and carefully
inscribed in the constitution. They will piously raise their
thoughts towards God, who protects the nation end the repub-
lic. They will thank him for his benefits, and pray to him for

The following address has also been issued in favour
of M. Ledra itollin, signed by several of the leaders
of the party :
Citizens.—We desired unity of power, and we still desire
it. We ham voted sgaiest the principle of the presidency,
but since the vote of the nuijerity has carried it, since the
emastitution admit* • priaident, we must not now be Mace
tive, we must concert measures for the election of a man who
shall »prevent our principles, and secure their triumph. We
have only one observation to make on the importance of the
choice which the electors are called on to make—on that
choice depends the rope Ale ! The candidates who seriously
offer themselves to your suffrage: are known to you, you
know how much they are worth : one has for his claims a
name, a dynastic reminiscence, the other pledges
given to reaction. Without wishing here to dia.
cuss the merits of all, we would first observe
that at the head of the republic must be placed a
l' republican, for the repeblic must be preserved, developed,
and completed, for it must live alone, and must curtain
those democratic and social institutions, without which it
would he no more than a shadow and a name. Under then
circumstances, the citizen Ledru Rollin is he who merit* all
our confidence, and who can moreover amalgamate the
divers Shades ot democracy. We need not recall to the esteem
of patriots the claims of that man who, the first with the
people, proclaimed the republic, and who organised uni-
versal suffrage. If the °Stints Ledru Rollie could not
hitherto either in the Provisional Guverument, or the hue•
cutive Commi•sion, apply all our principles, and realise
all our ideas, it is that he was paralysed by a majority de-
voted to c,ntrary ideas and principles. You know our
opinions by our votes in the Assembly, and by our dreier ,-
tion to the people. If you adopt this programme, vote foe
the awn who has signed it, and all whose efforts will tend to
realise it.
This manifesto was publicly read to-day at the
Place laubert, amidst the most clamorous applause
of the populace.
The report of the Bank of France, which I sent yes-
terday, is considered less unfavourable than the pre-
ceding ones. The discounts have ceased to diminish,
at least in the capital. The amount of the unpaid
bills, which was 4,000,000, is now only 170,0001.,
while the protested bills are diminished by 600,000 f.
The specie is increased by nearly half a million in
Paris, and by a million in the branches. The trea-
sury balance hassuddenly started up from 11 millions to
22; millions, in consequence of an instalment of the
loan carried to the credit of the government on ac-
count of the loan of 150 millions. The circulation
bas increased 6 millions in I'aris, but it has diminished
4 millions in the branches.
SUNDAY, II A.Y.
The heavens are not propitious to the new consti-
tution. At the moment of its solemn promulgation
" the sky is overcast, the morning lowers;' and M.
Armand Marrast delivers the new law from the front
of the Tuileries amidst a snow-storm ; nevertheless
battalions of the national guard have collected at
the appointed places of rendezvous, and some few
deputations have arrived from the departments.
While I write these liner, notwithstanding the
inclemency of the weather, th, Place de la Concorde
is filled with national guards, and the curiosity of the
public has so far prevailed against the snow and the
cold that a considerable number of persons of both
'sexes are seen in the galleries. Of course those parts
of the Place occupied by the public present a rode!
umbrellas.
A decision taken by the Assembly last night after
my despatches had been closed has already created
the most painful anxiety, not to say alarm, among
all the peaceable and 'tell-disposed population of the
capital. The question was, whether the Assembly
should continue to give leave of absence to its mem-
bers, thereby endangering the continuance of a suffi-
cient number in Paris to constitute a house. Oa
Friday the number of cony,'s granted was 223,
and yesterday they were increased to 260. M.
Sherbette opposed the granting of conies. The
proposition was rejected by 336 votes against 196,
and the additional enrages referred to were granted.
The Delhats this morning refers to the consequences
which may arise from this with the moat gloomy
forebodings.
The mails which brier the letters and journals
from Italy have not arrived is Paris this morning.

SPAIN.—The Madrid journals and correspondence
of the 6th have arrived.
The council of ministers has decided that the
Cortes shall be convoked for the 14th December, and
lin the same council it was decided that the ministerial
candidate for the presidentship of the Cortes should be
Seijas Lozano, who was formerly Minister of the
Interior in the Sotomayor cabinet.
There was still great divisions in the cabinet. MM.
Mon and Pidal continue a systematic opposition to
General Nurser, principally on the question of
finances, but without at present going any further.
Narvaez does not conceal his annoyance, and seeks
all possib e means to get rid of them; but MM. Mon
and Pidal can command the majority in the congress.
A private letter of the 6th says : " I mast inform
you that the government is at this moment very much
embarrassed in financial matters, and I learn from
good authority that they are uncertain if they can
pay the next half-year's dividend on the Three per
Cents."
In the face of this statement, however, the Three
per Cents. are to-day quoted at 191, being a rise of
per cent. on the quotation of yesterday.
The Prince and Princess of Cana were to quit on
the 7th. The King of Naples had by his ambassador
officially protested against the reception accorded
them. _ _ .

ITALY.

THE ANGLO-FRENCH MEDIATION.
The Anglo-French mediation has been resumed, at
the express request of the Sardinian cabinet. That
government, strong._ in the support of the chambers of
Turin, informed M. Bastide that it would wait till
next spring for the issue of the mediation. M. Bas-
tide communicated these overtures to Lord Palmer-
ston. It may be recollected that the French govern-
ment bad proposed Rome as a city where this affair
should be treated. Lord Palmerston objected, saying
that Rome having been named es the place
of meeting of the congress in which the bases of
the Italian diet are to be laid, that city did not offer
sufficient guarantees of security. Lord Palmerston
proposed Brawls The French government does not
object ; and it is to be hoped that the same feeling
will animate the Austrian cabinet. One difficulty
still remains : Austria has proposed a congress of all
the European powers. The mediating powers, on the
contrary, only desire diplomatic conferences in which
England, Austria, France, Sardinia, and the other
powers of Italy represented by a common plenipoten-
tiary, would take part. The Marquis Ricci is men-
tioned as likely to be chosen for Sardinia, and the
Marquis Ridolf for Tuscany and the other Italian
state..
PIEDMONT.—A letter from Turin of the sth inst.
says : " An attempt has been made to levy a forced
loan of 100,000,000 livres, but in the Chamber of De-
puties the struggle is who shall escape this burthen.
The representatives from Saroy and Sardinia decline
it on the part of their electors.
TUSCANY.—The Alba of Florence says Garibaldi
has arrived here with 84 men, and has been enthu-
siastically received by the people.
Sir George Hamilton has had conferred on him by
the Grand Duke of Tuscany the decoration of Cheva-
lier Grand Cross of the order of merit of St. Joseph.
NAPLES.—II Tempo of Naples, of the 30th alt.,
says, Count Ludolf, charged with a mission by the
governments of France and England, has arrived at
Naples.
