PARIS, Trim'Ay, 6 c.u.
Last evening, the assembly of the Rue de Poitiers,
on the question of the dissolution of the National
Assembly, resolved to support the proposition of
M. }bateau, for fixing the elections for the Legislative
Ass' mbly for the 4th of March, and the dissolution
of the Constituent Assembly for the 19th.
The Committee of Justice has rejected to-day the
proposiLion of M. Gonin, for repealing the law of
banishment against the two branct es of the house of
Bourbon. M. Faucher, Minister of the Interior, was
called before the committee, and recommended the
adjournment of the project. M. Laissac, • friend
of M. Loden Rollin. was named reporter. The
Committee of Justice was also engaged with
the proposition of M. Ratteau, for the dissolution of
the Assembly on the 19th March, and came to • deci-
sion to reject that proposition, naming M. Chevy, •
Mont•gnard, for reporter.
The bureaux have named a committee of 15 mem-
bers, to prepare the organic law upon the state of
siege. That measure will be restrained within the
Larrowest possible limits.
M. M. Philippon has laid before the Assembly a
proposition for the recovery of certain debts due to
France, by Spain, Belgium, Greece, Tunis, and the
late king, Louis Philippe. This project is to the effect
that the liquidation of all these claims be enforced
with all possible promptitude, so that the amount may
be brought to the credit of the budget of 1849.
M. Bouvet has preserved the following project,
with a demand of urgency for it. Considering that
war is contrary to religion, humanity, and public
prosperity, the National Assembly decrees : 1. The
French republic proposes to the governments of
Europe, America, and other civili--ed countries, to con-
cur in a congress for a proportional disarmament,
the abolition of war, and the formation of a court
of arbitration. 2. The Congress shall open on the
Ist of May, 1849, at Constantinople.
The Bourse r. mains nearly unchanged. The report,
which I have alluded to more than once lately, of an
intended manifestation of the National Guard, gains
more and more consistency. This was much
spoken of at the Bourse atd elsewhere to-
day. Nothing will, however, be done, until the
debate shall take place on the proposition of M.
Rattesa. It is certain that that proposition will be
rejected by a large majority, unless the fear of a
serious manifestation may affect a part of the
Assembly. In any case, however, its rejection
is nearly certain. Strong popular manifestations
will then eLsue, and it is said that the National
Guard, or the great majority of that body, confident
in the sympathies of the six millions who voted for
the President, and of the secret approbation of the
government, will adopt such a measure as may be at-
tended with serious consequences.
The Pat'ie states that during the sitting of the
National Assembly yesterday some of the represents.
tires handed about a list of aandidates for the mi-
nistry, at the head of which are the name of MM.
Billault, Jules Fevre, and Dupont (de Basset).
It is announced (says the same paper) that the
Pope, wishing to avoid foreign intervention, intends
to try a personal step. He will, it is said, go to
Civit• Vecchia, and there make an appeal to the
People, which, if not responded to, things will take
their mule.
The Princess Stephanie of Baden, whose arrival has
been for some time expected, and once or twice erro-
neously announced, has arrived in Paris, and it is
stated in the Constitutionnei that she is to do the
honours of the President's palace.
In the Assembly to day, M. de Marquis brought up
the report as to the election of M. Louis Lucien
Bonaparte for Corsica. He pointed to many irntgn-
Wilke sad many frauds. In many cantons no TOW
