LATEST FROM PARIS.

We have the letter of our own correspondent with
news from Paris to yesterday at noon.
M. Armand Marrast is appointed Mayor of Paris.
General Thiard goes as ambassador to Switzerland.
M. Jubelin is appointed Under Secretary of the
Marine and Colonies. Generals Pelet, Oudinot, Paill-
house, Vaillant, Lamoriciere, and Iledau, are named ,
as a commission for the defence of the nation. M.
Pagnerre is appointed Director of the National
Discount Bank, of which fifteen gentlemen are ap-
pointed a council of administration. M. Louis
Blanc, member of the provisional government was
to leave immediately for Lyons, where his presence
was required in consequence of the serious differences
which have arisen between the workmen and their

employer s.
There were no certain accounts in Paris of either
the Prince de Joinville or the Duke d'Aumale.
It is said that the council of Ministers is to consist
of fourteen members, each with a salary of 25,000
francs. 1. Finance. 2. Foreign Affairs. 3. War.
4. Marine. 5. Public Works. 6. Justice. 7. Com-
merce. 8. Worship. 9. Interior. 10. Poet-office.

The petition presented by a large number of the
merchants and shopkeepers of Paris to the govern-
ment, for the further prolongation of the period for the
payment of bills falling due between the 22nd of
February and the 9th of March, has been rejected by
the Minister of Finance. _ _

The new bank of discount occupies much of the
attention of the public and the government. Another
decree of the government, relating to some of its
details, appears this morning. The chief points esta-
blished by this are the following :
The capital subscribed by the shareholders is to be in
specie.
The capital subscribed by the state is to be in treasury
bonds.

The capital subecribed by the city of Paris is to be in city
bonds. _ . .

-Ti; first is to be in 500 f. shares..

All the profits are to belong to the shareholders.
The capital subscribed by the state and by the munici-
pality is only to be used to corer the contingent louse of the
concern.
Bills with two signatures. and not having more than 105
days to run, are discountable ; for the departments, 65 days.
Folioed of 15 shareholders.
_ .

Director appointed by Minister of Finance.
The rumour that the elections were to be post-
poned beyond the 9th April is contradicted.
The immediate organization of an efficient police
force is under the consideration of government. It
will be modelled on that of London.
. . _

A deputation of nonconformists consisting of
Joseph Sturge, Esg., G. W. Alexander, &g., G.
Bradshaw, Esq., R. Norris, Esq., and Edward Miall,
Pag., arrived yesterday at Lawson's hotel, with an
address to the French people, adopted at a public
Meeting in London. The address congratulates the
French nation on the recent revolution, and ex-
presses a hope that it will eradicate from the heart
et, the nation every
.thought, that. can germinate

into a sentiment of distrust, jealousy, or unfriendly
&piing towards the people of England.
The Prase says:—"A considerable number of
journeymen joiners who had assembled to converse
upon their own situation were alluding to the
1,000000 francs of the civil list, which the pro-
visional government had promised to distribute
among them, when at the moment the arrival of
Louis Philippe and his family at London in a state
lof complete deprivation was announced. Upon
hearing this news, one of the men present
said : " Sacristi ! that is very hard upon them.
I tell you what should be done. The advice
of llemngcr should be followed. A million
distributed amongst es would be but a very few
francs a.picee. Well, then,' let it be sent to the
Ilex-king. The alms of the poor do honour to mis-
fortune .

As an answer to various rumours which were in
circulation of extravagant demands having been
made by the persons who were lately in possession
of the Tuileries, as a condition of their evacua-
tion, the Moniteur Parisien publishes a list of
their names and professions, with an account of
the applications which they made on quitting their.
posts. Most of them are workmen, many of whom,
although in absolute want, made no demand for
relief, whilst others asked merely for occupation, or
for shoes, and other articles of clothing. The number
of persons who made no demand at all was far greater
than that of those who applied for the assiatunce
which we have mentioned.

"During the occupation of the Tuileries by the
self-formed guard," says the COl,sfittilionnel, "excava-
tions were made in many parts of the garden, with
the evident object of finding the treasures rumoured
to have been buried there at the time of the fall of
Louis XVL Enormous flags of stone have been
taken up in all the vaults and secret passages, in
order that they also might be explored."
Five persons were arrested on Wednesday, on a
charge of having stolen, or being receivers of, some
diamonds and jewellery from the 1 uiteries. " One of
Ithe thieves," says the Gazette des Tribanaux," having
entered a wine-shop, and become intoxicated, was in-
duced to place in the hands of another man, who is in
custody, diamonds of the value of 100,000 francs for a
five-franc piece, and a few litres of wine. Nearly the
whole of these diamonds were found in the possession
of the man who had thus obtained them. ,

For some days past several persona have been selling
sword-sticke publicly on the Boulevards, and on the
Place de la Bourse. By an order from the delegate of
the police, this trade hos been stopped, and all the
' sword-sticks exposed have been seized, as the sole of
such weapons is prohibited by law.
The government has published to-day detailed in-
' structions as to the mode of conducting the elections.
The following observations on the present commer-
cial and social crisis, and on the moat pressing of the
financial embarrassments of the government, afford so
just a picture of the situation, and are altogether so
apropos, that we cannot forkiear giving them at
length. They form the leading article of the Journal
des Debuts this morning :
The public is the prey of a species of panic, and this ex-
plains the extreme difficulty which no mazy tradesmen un-
dergo in the tultilmeat of their enrafrenu.nts, with their
hands full of sseurities which a auuntli safer would have been
considered excellent. They who have cash in hand will tent
let it go on any terms whatever. It is now quite impossible
to borrow money by contract or mortgage. Eviry one cur-
tails the moms of his establishment, and adopts the most
economical way of living. One step more, and people will
bury whwever precious articles they atlases-, and assume the
outward appearance of poverty, despite the fortune possessed,
so in the East. . . .

This panic is greatly to be deplored ; and must be shaken
off, or it will engender a daily increasing misery. Nothing
good, on the contrary, every evil, will result from it,—true it
is, the revolution came upon upon us by surprise, the re-
public has been established contrary to every expectation.
But it is proclaimed, it exists, it in recognised, and it is evident
that what is done cam): be undone. France must new run
else chance of that adventure, that we, ter our part, were far
from wis'iesg; it is now the duty of each to do his utmost to
turn this chance to the greatest advantage. Experience may
point out perils. but that is a greater reason to endeavour to
remove all d inger as far so possible. France, her interest,
her future, arc now at stake.
Thus, we must own it, the moment is past for us to con-
ceive alarm at the new regime we are placed in. We must
view it with sa»g froid, with calmness, and endeavour to
make the best a it. One and all, we must lend our aid to
I it, and consequently have confidence in it. Instead of in-
sulating ourselves, we must support each other. Capitalists,
tradesmen, landlords, workmen, each and all of us, such
must be our feeling. We are as on a vessel beaten by the
tempest; it each man of the crew thinks hut of himself, and
I ricefusr.itonue: expose haintll _self to
w ~eloaanreeornin theiia,tner:ed st
noneo eaLl,atphee
board, d. these . .

It behoves us then no longer to be influenced by a selfish
feeling, but to assume a good outward countenance. It is
indispensible that thi y who have fomething to risk, ri'k that
something to a certain extent. Universal ruin can be con-
quered alone but by firmness and decision. There are some
movements in life when temerity is a virtue ; there are some
situations from which audacity alone can extricate us.
If each consent to risk a little, those expedients which
have been recommended and which government has adopted
will prove efficacious.
Then the bank of discount established in Paris can be
organized immediately and will accomplish its aim; then
will the banks announced for the departments find means
of existence, and will tend to secure French industry.
This example must be set by the Bank of France, which
indeed well deserves our praise, by capitalists, and by every
person possessed of specie. Each has his tribute to pay to
the circumstance ; and it would be more than imprudent—
it would be culpable, to refuse it.
There are certain acts of authority which are of a nature
to produce the best result. Nor can we disimulate the fact
that the great distrust which now prevails arises chiefly
from the supposition that the treasury is in a very em-
barrassed situation. Three hundred millions are due to the
savings bank ' • a sum of pretty nearly of equal value
will soon be due to the possessors of Treasury bonds.
Certainly, if depositors were prevailed on to leave
money in the savings bank, and if the hearers of treasury
bonds were prevailed on to renew them, our finances
would be greatly relieved, and there is every reason
to believe commercial affairs would then become less
difficult. In order to effect this double result, govern-
ment has increased the interest on the treasury bonds
and raised to 5 per cent. the interest granted to the
depositors of the savings bank. In the present state of
things that is not, however, sufficient. The rate of 5 per
cent. will not prevent demands being made for payment on
the treasury. It is painful to pay 3 per cent at the savings
bank, and especially to the bearers of treasury bonds; but it
would be still more painful were the coffers of the state to
remain empty. With respect to the savings bank, the
government might also revoke the dispositions of the law of
1844, which limited to 1,500 francs, instead of 3,000, indi-
cated by the fundamental law, as the sum which could be
inscribed to the account of a depositor.
A candid report of the situation of the finances, and of the
means which are to be adopted to counterbalance the ex-
penses and the receipt would have a good effect upon public
cpinion. The public are impatient to know what they have
to expect; and, under a republican government, they have
more than ever a right to be made acquainted with it. From
the very instant it will have been clearly demonstrated :to
the public that the state can fulfil its engagements, and
that national credit has nothing to fear, many of those per-
sons who arc now so greatly alarmed will become confident,
and that confidence alone will suffice to change the aspect of
commerce. _

The Muniteur publishes a report of the financial
situation of the republic, as drawn up by M. Gamier
Pages. The public debt amounted, on the Ist of
January, 1848, to 5,179,944,730 francs. The Minis-
ter, after showing that the budgets under the late
government had increased enormously, and exa-
mining the state of public works (of which those
already commenced and to be yet finished,
will, when completed, cost 839 millions of
francs), the floating debt, amounting to 872 millions
of francs, the bons du tresor, of which there are
329,886,000 in existence, and the savings banks, in
which there are deposits to the amount of 356,087,717
francs, says that the sinking fund should yet be main-
tained, and that the government is determined to
make a great reduction in the number of em-
pbuss, and to put the remainder on a new
footing as to salaries. He then declares that
the crown diamonds, jewels, and plate, found at
the Tuileries belongs to the nation, as they had only
the usufruct of it, and he recommends that the dia-
monds should be sold by valuation, and that the plate
found at the Tuileries, Neuilly, and other palaces,
should be coined into money, with the effigy of the
republic stamped upon it. The property of the an-
cient civil list he declares to have returned to the state,
in the same way that they passed successively from
the ancient king to the emperor, and from him to
Louis XVIII. and Charles X., and from them
to Louis Phillipe. He adds, "It is to be under-
stood that the private domain is not comprised
in the above measure, and that it remains seques-
trated at the disposal of the National Assembly. With
regard to the Crown forests, he thinks the most of
them ought to be retained, but that some may be sold
to advantage, and he thinks the quantity to be sold
may amount to the value of 160,000,0001.
With regard to the loan (contracted last year by
M. Rothschild), the Minister states that it is doubt-
ful if the remainder of the instalment* will be paid
up, but as money will be necessary for the Govern-
ment, he propose. to borrow the remainder of the snm
allowed to be borrowed by the law of the Bth August,
namely, 100 millions, by way of a patriotic national
loan, to be issued at 6 per cent.
Oa Olio report decrees follow, authorising the

Minister of Finances to contract& loan, sell the Crown
diamonds, and the Crown forests, as far u he may
consider necessary.
The following is a decree for the abolition of im-
prisonment for debt :
The provisional government of the republic. on the report
of tke Minister of Justice. considers that imprisonment is an
old abuse of Roman legislation, which places men and pro-
party on the same level, sad is incompatible with our sew
public right;
Considering that if the rights of creditors deserve the pro-
tection of the law, they should not be protected by means
which humanity and reason reject, that deceit sad fraud
have puni•hmint assigned to them in the penal code, that
there is a violation of human dignity in the estimate which
snakes the liberty of citizens a legitimate equivalent fcr a
pecuniary debt;
Decrees—ln all cases where the law authorises imprison-
ment of a debtor, as means for the creditor to obtain pays, ent
of a pecuniary debt, that measure shall emir' to be applied,
until the national assembly has definitively decreed with
regard to imprisonment.

IMPORTANT NEWS.

The royal mail steam-ship Hibernia, Capt. Shan-
non, has arrived at Liverpool from New York, whence
she sailed on the 26th ult. She brings specie on freight
to the amount of 40,0001. The intelligence partakes of
more than the ordinary interest. The venerable and
universally respected John Quincy Adams expired
in the House of Representatives, on the 21st ult. His
death caused the deepest gloom. Congress marked
its sense of the mournful event by immediately ad-
journing for a week. All the party bickerings that
had passed between the members but a moment before
were hushed oa the instant. The citizens of the
capital partook of a like feeling ; business was sus-
pended, and a general gloom took possession of
every one, so much so that several persons put on
mourning.
The several cities of the union have testified their
respect for the memory of this great repub-
lican. The Uni.n pays honourable tribute of
respect to an opponent which greatness never fails to
exact, and says:
The mournful and deeply impressive event, the anticipa-
tion of which, during the last thrie days, has created so
profound an emotion through our community, and 'almost
wholly suspended the legislative busimes of the country,
has come at length. Mr. Adams is no more. He breathed his
last in the speaker's room of the House of Representatives,
at twenty minutes past seven o'clock this evening.—The
manner and the circumstances of the death of this illustrious
and venerable patriot and statesman form the fitting close
of e life devoted even from early boyhood to the service of
his country.—His public career commenced in 1781, when
he was but fifteen years of age. At that time he acted as
secretary to one of the Amer.can legations. Since then—
during a period of sixty-seven years—he has been constantly,
almost without a single interval, in public official stations.
The last solemn visitation of Providence has found him—
and so he seemed to desire that it should be—at the post and
in the harness of patriotic duty. Crowned with his coun-
try's highest honours—representing to a younger generation
the old " heroic age " of our republic—the last venerated cur
vivor of the chief magistrates of our revolutionary era—as
if to the end that the great example of his life might be
most conspicuous and impressive, his spirit has passed away,
as it were, before the eyes of his assembled countrymen, from
the very midst of those halls of national council, wherein, by
his commanding participation in the labours of two gene.
rations of states men, he had achierrd his great and world-
wide renown
"Felix non solo= claritate sits,
lied etiam opportanitste moms!"
Meantime rumours about the probable peace with
Mexico were rife. It was said that the Mexican go-
vernment has annexed, as a condition to the cession
of any portion of its territority, that slavery
should not be permitted therein. If there be such
a condition, it certainly will not be ratified by the
Senate of the United States, not so much be-
cause there is any purpose or probability of
slavery being actually introduced into any portion of
the territory to be ceded, as from unwillingness by
any precedent to establish the principle that congress
may rightfully, or either branch of it, legislate con-
cerning slavery.
Speaking of this matter, the Courier and Enqutrer
says :—" Until this question is settled, legislation will
pause ; neither men nor money will be voted. The
loan bill, indeed, for sixteen millions is now in the
,senate, and on be pored at any hoar by that body—

and, al its amount will be needed, and a good deal
more, even with speedy peace—it may be that the
senate will at once pus teat bill ; and if a treaty soon
follows, the money will be obtained readily by the
treasury--at par, for 6 per cent. stock having:twenty
years to run.
The following is from the Nor York herald of the
26th alt.:

We have received authentic intelligence of a treaty °Come
with Mexico having been negotiated and accented by the
Mexican government, at Queretaro, by General Scott, on the
belied the instructions sent out by the government last year.
This intelligence arrived at hew Orleans on the 13th,
by the steamer New Orleans, bringing Vera Crux dates
to the tlth inst. Mr. Fraener, the bearer of despatches brorn
General Stott, has also been lauded at Mobile by the steamer
Iris.

The government messenger has arrived in Waohington.
These despatches contain the tie ity of peace proposed by
the Mexican Coogriss at Queretaro.
One of the conditions is, that 12,000 American troops are
to remain in the city of Mexico till certain obligations are
complied with. The balance to be withdrawn.
The boundary line is to be the Rio Grande, up to the
Gila, giving New Mexico and California to the United
States.

The Vailed States is to give a pecuniary consideration to
Mexico, of a small amount compared with that in the re-
jected treaty of Tacubaya.
On'.. Scott u Commander-in•chief of the American
Army, km taken the whole of the responsibility of accepting
this treaty. and forwarding It to our government. Mr.
Trist's agency in it is probably subsidiary to that of Gen.
Scott.

Great excitement prevailed at New Orleans, and greater
at Washington,
From Central America rather interesting news had
been received. The petty quarrels of the King of
Mosquito with the Nicaragaans had been taken up by
the British naval commander on that station, which
has led to a great deal of unpleasantness. The Vixen
British steamer, having on board the aforesaid king
and Mr. Walker, the British consul, anchored in the
port of San Juan de Nicaragua, landed a small force,
took possession of the town and fort, struck the colours
of Central America, and hoisted those of the Musquito
king.
The steamer departed, and a counter-revolution
took place. The commander of the Vixen returned,
but, finding threats unavailing, sailed away for
Jamaica for reinforcements.

The meeting of Gen. Taylor's friends at New York,
which had been adjourned to the 22nd, was held on
that day ; it was attended by 15,000 persons. 'Various
resolutions in fayour of Gen. Taylor being the ni xt
President were proposed and carried unanimously.
The Governor-General of Canada met the Canadian
Parliament at Montreal, on the 25th of February.
The Legislative Assembly has elected Augustus
Morin its speaker. The Inspector-General proposed
Sir Allen .McNab, which was seconded by Coionel
Prince; hut he was defeated, Laving only nineteen
votes in his favour.

In its commercial summary, the Courier and En-
quirer Says:
In our commercial and money concerns there has been no
per-lade change since the departure of the American steamer
Washington, on Monday lest, the 21st instant, iinleis in a
continued gradual improvement in the price of government
securities, as the confidence of approaching peace gained
strength.
Money is easy— hht there is not much activity in
exports. Our stock of flour is so small on the seaboard
as to prevent any such fall in prices as might benefit ship-
ments--and the last accounts for cotton were so littte en-
couraging, that there is not any great disposition to operate
in that staple.
The sales for export to England have been larger than
previously, hot not sufficiently s to advance the rates of
freight. The market has a downward aspect.
Exchange on London remains pretty much as per lists.
The best city bills bring from 10 to 101, but the quota.

NEWS FROM LOMBARDY.

We have the letter of our correspondent with news
from Paris to last night.
The financial statement, published in the Monitenr
this morning, the heads of which I s,nt in my
despatches, has had an unfavourable effect at the
I3ourse. The Threes, which closed yesterday at 52 50,
opened to-day at 49. They closed at 50. No busi-
ness whatever is done for account. All the agent
fear to incur the slightest risk. They have all suffered
heavily ; having found it impossible to get even their
beat clients to fulfil their engagements.
Gouin's bank, notwithstanding having received
offers of assistance, has resolved to wind up. It
is not supposed that the holders of the notes, bear-
ing inter( st, will lose anything.
The following decree of the government has been
published to-day :
The provisional government, considering that the fallen
acivrrnmnnt has left to the charge of the Republic a sum of
355,057,717 fr. 32c., arising from the deposits made in the
Savings' Bank ; considering that, of this cum, there only
remains disposable in cash 65,703,020 fr. 10c. whereas
the small deposits lxlong in general to necessitous
citizens; whereas the large deposits belong, on the
contrary, generally to persons in easy circumstances;
whereas it is desirable to reconcile the Interest of
justice with that of the treasury, and that ot private, I
individuals with that of the public, decrees :—" Art. 1.
The berets (receipt books), showing a payment of 100 M.
and under, shall, at the demand of the depositors, be

Art. 3. For the receipt books, in which the sum paid in
shall exceed 1000 fr., the Savings' Bank shall pay-1, 1001 r.
in cash ; the remainder up to half the amount in treasury
bonds of six months' date, and bearing interest at 5 per cent ;
3, the last half in a coupon of 5 per cent. Rents at par.
Art. 4. The receipt books, inscribed in the name of societies
for mutual assistance, shall not be subject to the preceding
provisions; their deposits shall be reimbursed in full in cash.
Receipt books for deposits made since Feb. 24, 1815, are also
excepted from the mtasure. Art. 5. Provisionally, and
until further orders, there shall be no transfer made of funds
from one savings' bank to another for the account of deposi-
tors. Art. 6. The member of the provisional government,

The Alba of Florence, of the 2nd inst., says that
the altitude assumed by Austria is of a nature to
make us hourly fear an imminent and inevitable
conflagration in Italy. The bloody edicts which the
Prsetorion.s threw at the face of the indignant popula-
tion of Lombardy, and the abominable conduct of
the military at Pavia, Padua, and Milan, announce
the approach of a most solemn moment.
At a cabinet counsel held at Turin on the 27th
ult., it was resolved to call out a new contingent.
The Opinione, a Piedmontcse journal, says that
at Milan the impatience and indignation of the
people are at its height. It was even reported
that the people were in open revolt. It is said
that Marquis Saporiti, councillor to the king of
Sardinia, has been arrested, or compelled to leave
Milan. This news, however, demands confirma-
tion. It is reported that a bloody collision
took place yesterday between the students and the
Austrians; as the Bohemians and Hungarians sided
with the former, the Austrians have been worsted,
and a Previsional Government was established.
