PARIS, Tvasnar, 6 r.x.
Another explosion is reported to have taken place
within the Provisional Government last evening, in
which, as usual, MM. Lamartine and Ledru
Rollin
were in open conflict; the latter desired the further
postponement of the meeting of the assembly, the
former peremptorily opposed it; the latter
threatened a popular demonstration, the for-
mer treated the menace with contempt. M.
Ledrn Rollin then declared that he would have
Paris coven d with barricades to-day. M. Lamartine
rose and declared that he set his colleague at de-
fiance, that the n.ajority of the Government were
quite prepared for any measure of that description
promoted by the Minister of the Interior, and that
they would resort to effectual measures to defend it.
After this, report says, M. Ledru Rollin lowered
his tone.
This may afford an example of the scenes which
are daily occurring in the councils of the Provisional
Government.
The Mayor of Paris has ordered that the general
summing up of the votes shall take place at the Hotel
de Ville on Friday, the 28th, at nine o'clock in the

morning.
At the Bourse to-day there was a general improve-
ment
in values of every description, a circumstance
the reverse of what might have been expected con-
sidering the agitated state of the capital and the ex-
traordinary measures of precaution resorted to by the
government last night and today. The cause of this
favourable movement is the fact which has become
known that MM. Rothschild have, within a few days,
imported large quantities of specie, and are expected
to continue the same operation. The abundance of
metallic money thus produced is not the only favour-
able consequence inferred from this.
The passive attitude observed by these great capi-
talists hitherto has had a discouraging effect.
On the other hand, the circumstance of their now
taking the a, tive part indicated by the measure I
have just mentioned, excites hopes that they intend
to come forward and re-assume their wonted position
and influence in the financial affairs of the country.
This morning the examination of the votes was
commenced in Paris and the Barilieue.
The election of M. Lamartine will be almost
unanimous. It is thought that the election of the
12th arrondissement will be annulled. in consequence
of the gross frauds practised there. I learn that go-
vernment has already received the news that M.
Milton Barrot has been elected by an immense
majority in the department L'Aisue.
As I told you would probably be the case, the
couLeil of government his decided to-day respecting
he remainder of the railways, viz., the unfinished
lines. The shareholders are individually to have the
option either of accepting the same terms as have
been decided for the finished lines—that is to say, to
receive Five per Cent. stock in exchange for their
shares, the value of the one and the other being taken
at the average prices of thee ix months before February;
or they may pay up t remainder of their capital
and receive 5 per cent. stock at par for the whole.
The decree as to the railways will appear, as it is ex-
pected, in the Moniteur of Thursday.
The Mint is now coining one-centime pieces. They,
as well as the pieces of five-francs, are coined from
the dies of Dupre, the engraver of the first ra
iepubliemale,
c.
They are in copper, having the head of
with a Phrygian bonnet, with the motto "Republique
Franca:o ;" on the reverse is " Up Centime, 1848."
They are about to coin half a million in value.

LOMBARDY.—The Gazette of Milan, of the 19th,
says : " All the Southern Tyrol has declared for the
good cause ; the valley of the Adige alone is kept in
check by the presence of the Austrians concentrated
at Trent. It is said that Major Trolli, of the Pied-
montese troops, was ntade prisoner, in a sortie made by
the Austrians at Peechiera, and was taken to that town.
