• MILITARY PRECAUTIONS.
PARIS, MONDAY, 6.30 P.II.
To-day, before noon, the National Guard, troops of
the line, and Garde Mobile were moving in all
quarters of Paris. At one o'clock the Palais Bourbon
was completely filled with troops of the line and ar-
tillery. All the avenues leading to it were blocked
by battalions of infantry and Garde Mobile, and none
but those provided with tickets were allowed to
approach within that distance. The chief thoroughfares
I were patrolled during the day by detachments of the
National Guard, and several companies of each legion
were kept under arms all the day, at various assigned
points of the capital. Arrangements were made so
that within a few minutes a large force could be con-
centrated on any required point.
The Palais Bourbon was in a state to stand an
attack from a regular army. Besides the artillery and
the sth Lancers, there were around and within nine
battalions of the line, nine of the Garde Mobile, and
four of the National Guard. The Salle des Pas Perdu.
was filled with general officers and their aides•de-
camp. Horses were keut ready saddled in all the
courts and gardens.
General Cavaignac, Minister of War, was present in
full uniform, and held several conferences with
General Tnomas, Commandant of the National Guard.
It was announced that the ouvriers of the ateliers
were about to bring to the Assembly the petition
I gave in my despatches of this morninte, accompanied
by. alarming and menacing demonstrations, and to
insist on maintaining the present or4anisation of the
ateliers. _ .

On inquiry, however, by emissaries sent for the
purpose, much of this alarm was dissipated. No at-
troupements of a formidable nature were observed.
Some assemblages were found near the Barrier° de
Trone, on the road to Vincennes, and in the Faubourg
St. Jacques, but none of these presented any menacing
circumstances requit log the demonstration of military
force that was observed at the Valais Bourbon and
which was known to be in readiness in the various
military points of the capital, and principally at the
Hotel ae Ville, where, beside the National Guard
and the troops of the line, seven battalions of the
Guard Mobile were stationed. _

La R,publique of to-day says, " The Executive
Commission have held a council on the events of
Napl.s, and instructions were immediately sent to
Admiral Baudin that, if the King did not at once give
satisfaction and indemnity to the French subjects
who had suffered in this horrible affair, it might lead
to serious mulls."

The hotel of the Ministry of Public Works has been
guarded since Saturd .y by an imposing military force,
composed of troops of the line and National Guards.
Yesterday the soldiers of the Garde Marine made a
seizure, at Montrouge, of 200 poignards, with ivory
handles, 40 cartoucheboace, full of cartridges.a num-
ber of pikes and of foils, which had their points
sharpened, and • sack-full of bullets ; all of which
were brought to the Prefecture of Police.
The following document was amongst those seized
at the Club des Droits de l'Homme

A red placard, posted about Paris, convenes ameet-
ing of the women sincerely devoted to republican
principles on Tuesday morning, at the Place Ven-
dome, to carry up an address of gratitude to the
citizen Cremieux, for having taken the initiative on
the subject of divorce.
We read in a journal, "The son of Louis XVI. is
certainly immortal we have just received, from the
ex-Count de Richemont, a copy of a letter addres-ed
to the National Assembly. The writer, calling him-
self the son of Louis XVI., cla'ms the legal restoration
of his civil rights. What an avalanche of pretenders!'
The Committee of Finance whi..h met this morning,
to consider the question of a conversion of treasury
bonds into five per cent. renies, had a prolonged
sitting. The representative of the agens do change
who was summoned to this deliberation opposed the
project warmly, and recommended a loan.

NATIONAL ASSEMBLY.—MONDAT.
The cluing did not commence till two o'clock, on
account of the important discussion in one of the bureaux on
the project of leer as to divorce. In many bureaux there is
much opposition to the measure by very many members,
who have put forward some strong arguments, both on
domestic and religious grounds.
At this moment we learned that the Commandant of the
Palace had arrested a person in one of the tribunes who hod
arms cone, aled under his blouse.
Several arrests were announced to have been made in
Paris: amongst others that of M. Bach, commandant of the
cavalry of the Garde Mobile.
It was now announced that the °eerier,. having formed a
junction, had derided to send twelve delegates only to the
National Assembly.
The Assembly decided to adjourn till to-morrow the die-
mission as to the project of decree on the "ateliers na-
tinaeux," proposed be M. de Falluux, in the name of the
Committee of Operatives.
This project pr.poses to substitute piece-work fir drip•
work, and to send back to the dep rterienis the workmen who
have been lees than three months in Paris, and have no
means of support.
The Assembly passed to the order of the day, on the nth-
iect of the questions addressed to the Minister of Public
Works by M. Taschere►u as to the disappearance of M.
Emile Thomas.
M. le Ministre: I have always found grett difficulty
in knowing what passed in the ateliers, and having the
names and exact number of ouvriers, besides which M.
Thomas had declered h a intention of not taking on
himself any responsibility in the wise end necessary ritornis
to be made in the <meanie ition of the ateliers. It is for the
interest of M. Thomas himself, that he was sent away; the
mission that he retired is very important.
M. TASCHIIREAU: I insist on the minister giving a decla-
ration that the honour of M. Thomas is not implicated in
thin RUT.
The minister kept a profound silence.
M. BASTI DE. Minister of Foreir. Affairs, announced that
Spain and Belgium hid recognised the Republic.
A discussion now ensued as to the reading of a letter, ad
dres.eil to the Assembly by M. Louis Boonapartc, a hich was
ultimately refused, and the order of the day was then taken
fir the project of the decree relative to the relations between
the Executive Commission and the Assembly.
The discussion upon the project of the decree relative to
the relations of the Assembly wilt the Executive Commis
pion ease. nothing interesting. The Chamber having voted
the hot pAragrapb, dispen+ing with the attendance of the
executive power at the sittings of the Assembly,

unless summoned by the President open the riquisition
of forty members, proceeded to consider the question
of granting power to order the rappel to be
beaten in the manner recommended in the report. M.
Cavaigniui, Minister of War, proposed en amendment to the
effect that, in COO of danger, the President should have
power to order the executive to take the neceseary meuures.
