LATEST FROM PARIS.

PARIS, MONDAY, 6•30 r.u.
Every successive day developer more clearly the
re-actionary tendency of the majority of the Aram-
My. This was manifested in a striking manner
to-day by the results of the monthly elections of the
presidents and secretaries of the bureaux, the majority
of whom were last month of the party of the govern-
ment, or the ultra-democrats. Of the fifteen
bweasix there were today only three repub-
licans of the 'Wee elected as presidents, and,
is the eases of these three, there were special
reasons for the favour shown them ; these
were M. Dupont de l'Eae, respected as the father of
the Assembly ; M. Argo, known for his vigorous op-
position to the socialists and ultra-democrats ; and M.
Landrin, who insisted on the impeachment-of Louis
Blanc. The remaining presidents elected were MM.
Mole, Thieve, O,lilon Barret, Leon de Nialleville De
Remmat, Dotage., Davergier d'Hauranne, and other,.
all of whom make no disguise of the profound regret
with which they regard the revolution of February,
and only profess to endeavour to make the best of it.
The report of M. Binaut upon the project of the
budget of the present year will be distributed to-
morrow. The committee have made some large re-
ductions upon it, which affect all the ministries ex-
cept that of war. I am informed that the total
amount of these reductions is not less than ten
millions; the salaries of diplomatic agents have been
considerably cut down; that of the French minister
in London, for example, will be reduced to 150,000
francs. The salaries of prefects and sub-prefects are
also considerably reduced.
The committee on the constitution have resolved to
oppose all the amendments which have for their
object to exclude the members of the royal and im-
perial families.
It is stated for certain that M. &nerd, minister of
the interior, bas resigned.
The Bien Public of this morning says, that it is
stated that a company, exclusive of backers properly
so called, bet including some of the first financiers, is
on the point of proposing to government a loan of
three or four hundred millions, on terms much more
advantageous than those offered by Messrs. Roths-
child and Charles Devaux, of London.
Letters from London announce the intended publi-
cation of the memoirs of M. Cussidiere. The ex-pre-
fect of police is about to give a history, without con-
cealing any name, of his entire life of conspiracy,
from the latter years which preceded 1830, and to
raise the veil which still conceals the causes of many
events which have occurred since the revolution of
February.
Several provincial journals announce that the veri-
fication for the Guard National Mobile has produced
a lively agitation in the rural districts. The peasants
think the times of the conscription are returned, and
that, their names once inscribed, they must perforce
leave their homes for the army.

Private oorrespeadenes from Madrid of the 27th,
states that it was reported in diplomatic circles, that
M. Leeseps would shortly receive letters accrediting
him W the Spanish government, as minister plenipo-
tentiary, and not as chat* d'affaires of the French
republic.
The Herald° of Madrid, of the 27th ult., tills its
leading columns with • magniloquent account of the
baptism of the Duke de Montpensiees child, and an-
nounces that, immediately after the ceremony, a royal
decree, appointing the infant a member of the Order
of Noble Ladies of Maria Louisa, was read, where-
epee the duke, not without emotion, decorated her
with the insignia of the order! A decree relieves
the Minister of Marine from the administration of

the department of the Interior, which he had taken
during the minister's absence at Seville.
A Madrid letter of the 27th ult., states, that the
government had just seized the papers of two secret
clubs, and arrested some of the members, who had
confessed that they had received money from Spanish
refugees in France, with which they were to attempt
to corrupt the garrison of Madrid.

By an official statement in the Pisdasontass Mantle.
of the 28th nit., it appears that up to that date the
number of muskets delivered to the National Guard
of Piedmont amounts to 52,567 ; that 13,000 more are
ready in the arsenals for the detached corps; and
that 17,000 are expected from France. The Roman
Legion had marched from Rome on the 23rd.
The pontifical government intends opening a new
loan of 4 millions of wadi (24 millions of francs).
Count Mamiani has left Rome for Pesaro. The
French steamer Brazier cast anchor at Ancona on the
22nd, from Venice, with despatches for the French
and Sardinian consulates. The above paper quotes
letters from Sicily, of the 19th, which announce the
expiration of the armistice and the resumption of hos-
tilities. It would also appear that the Messinisns,
reinforced by many thousand Palermitans and others,
who had hastened in mass to the scene of war from
the adjoining countries, had surprised Messina, and
occupied it once more, taking ample vengeance upon
the royal troops, who had been forced to take refuge
again in the citadeL Another letter states that Mi
lasso had also been taken again by the Sicilians, the
royal troops having fled after a great loss.
E Tempo of Naples, of the 22nd, on the contrary,
publishes letters of the same date (the 19th), which
state that the aspect of the city was entirely changed,
the port resuming its animation, the barricades being
removed, the streets cleared, and the city tranquil.
Tie Patric of Florence, of the 25th, states that, at
Modena, for two or three days slues the 21st, paid
men were promenading the streets, shouting " Vire
121:2nblique !" wearing large cockade& The civic
had arrested them, and thus put an end to
ig—disordere.
The Gazelle of Genoa, of the 27th, says that the
correspondence from Turin announces that several
Polish generals had been named to the command of
the army, and that all expenses of the court—of pomp
and etiquette, and which savoured of superanuataa
saga, bad been abolished.
The Patria of Florence of the 25th, quoting the
Epoca of Rome of the 22nd, says: " If we are not
misinformed, France, on the simple assertion of the
report at Rome that M. Rossi was to be called on to
form a ministry, made the most energetic remon-
strances to the pontifical government. M. D'Harcourt
communicated these remonstrances to the pontiff, who
is stated to have replied,' C'ert un pen fort,' and that
the nomination of M. Rossi was a' fait accompli.' "
The Courier de Marseille publishes, in its.private
correspondence from Rome of the 24th, a statement
that 1,300 volunteers had left Ravenna to go to the
succour of Venice. The government, it would ap-
pear, decided with difficulty on the engaging 12,000
foreign troops. The minister Marini left on the 23rd
for Tuscany. The leegue between Rome, Florence,
and Turin was the sabiect of much amvereation.

RUSSIA.-ST. PETERSBURG, SEPT. 21.-TUB
CHULBILL—The cholera, which broke out towards the
middle of Jun* bee mmost- disappeared. The contagion
was far more fatal this year than ia 1831. In the first 17
days 7,500 persons died of h. The pale arced by the opt.
detnic, chiefly among the lower Blass s, putty hummed the
general mortality. Not leis than 100,000 fled from the
capital without resources, and even without clothes, and
threw themselves into the environs, when the villagers
I everywhere repelled .m. Without any esylurn, without
food, hundreds of them expired, and the wrens were
frequently so covered with their corpus, that it was scarcely
pomible to get along. It is not known how many perished
in tbis manner, but assuredly the cholera, which daily car
tried off i's 1,500 victims when it was at its height, wu not
more fatal. All the public works were su.pencled, but the
Emperor, by daily visiting the capital, succeeded both by his
presence, his calamma, and his resolution, in obviating those
troubles which acs so frequent under similar circumstances.
The contagion has likewise made great havoc at Astrakhan.
