FRANCE.

PARIS, Fainwr, 11 A.m.
The Assembly proceeds with the project of the con-
stitution more rapidly and with greater unanimity
thin was expected. Having decided that there should
be a preamble, it prod eded yesterday to examine,
article by article, the preamble of the committee.
Tro amendments were proposed, the first to substitute
the term " principle" for that of " dogma," which was
adopted ; the other was that of M. Devils, which I
have already reported, and which was intended as a
sort of satire on the government. It was to
annex to the words, "In the presence of God "
the words "in a state of siege," &c. This
was of course rejected. The Bth paragraph will come
under discussion on Monday, to day and to-morrow
being reserved by the Assembly for general busineal.
This Bth paragraph will give rise to another debate
on socialism, as it involves the question of the " droit
du travail." _ _ _

A project has been put forward, and a petition
presented to the National Assembly to raise funds
to enable 20,000 families now unemployed in
Paris to establish themselves in Algeria. The trea-
sury being empty, an attempt will probably be made
to raise funds for Las object by private subscription.
Tee Astional, on the subject est the Austrim
mediation, says, " A rumour had been spread at
Berlin which the ministers of Prussia announced
lutrily at the assembly, to the effect that Austria had
accepted the Anglo French mediation. This news
reached us fn Paris to-day. We cannot, however,
guarantee its perfect exactitude, and we do not thii.k
that government has as yet received any direct con-
firmation ot it from Vienna."

The Dibats has the following letter from Toulon of
the 3rd :
Yesterday afternoon the maritime authorities visited
several telegraphic despatcher, which mused great excite-
ment. All the disposable steam boats had to prepare insets- '
dimely for putting to ma, and they were ordered to make
preparations for receiving on board troops of infantry and
nonage. Acoordingly, the steam frigates the Chenoque,
the Magellan, and the Monte stuns, and the steam stoop
Solon, prepared to deport, and according to all appearance
will pat to see during the night. The object of these pre-
panders Amlaless is to send a brigade into Italy,
for the steamers took on board a large quantity of
biscuit and a considerable amount of the materiel of war,
including a battery of artillery, the baggage of en ambu-
lates and encampment, to. 'Pk* orders of government be-
ing urgent, it was requisite to work during Use whole night
at the artillery and materiel. To-day the grestest aetivny
prevaik in the mama, where pieces of artillery and carriages
of provisions and ammunition ere being be-night by the rail-
way. Several engineers, who are to be attached to the ex •
pedition, here stetted for Mirseilles, and we understand that
the steam rs are going to that port t• receive oa board 4 batta-
lions of infaatry, an !centering comp env, ands battery of ar-
tillery. A thousand roporta are in circulation as to the direction
which will be taken by the expedition. Some say that we
are about to occupy Ancona, but it appears more probable
that our troops will disembark at Civita Yecohis, and will
I await further orders in the Papal States, perhaps at Rome.
Three is a report here that a division of the army of the
' Apt is about to embark at the Gulf of Juan. What is
c. resin Is, that the steamers which leave to night for Mar-
seilles are full provisioned for three months, which gives
ground for suppodag that they will mike many other
voyages with troops.

The Madrid mails of the 3rd have arrived.
It is Mated that an insurrection was expected to
break out at Seville before the confinement of the
Duchess of Montpensier. A column of 600 infantry
and 100 horse, commanded by General Lersandi, is
about to march from Madrid against the faction of
l'ico, in La Mancha, which tu always been described
in the ministerial journals as consisting of 20 or 30 at
moat. . . .
