PARIS, TVESDAY, 6. 30 P.K.I
The government will determine, either to-day or 1
to-morrow, as to the choice of a general to command i
the sth division of the army of the Alps at Dijon. No 1
decision has yet been come to by the government, as
has been reported, to send an army to the borders of
the Rhine.
The council of ministers are in conference as to the
suppression of the Democratie Pacifique and the 17%
forme, whose tendencies and language inspire it with
fears. The Democratie Paosfigoe particularly, which
advocates the principles of socialism with greater
ardour than under the last regime, distinguishes itself
by extreme violence. The suppression of the Coosa-
teitiohnel has also come in question, which, however,
wages serious war against the disciples of Pierre
Leroux and Prudhon. No resolution has been come
to; but M. Thiers, who is known as the particular
patron of that journal, called on M. Senard,
the Minister of the Interior, for an explanation.
M. Thiers observed, that the late government had
never wit2e.d such a war of extermination against the
press as did that .4 the republic, which was responded
to by M. Senard, by stating that the old government
could not resist its enemies, and the republic was
obliged to adopt the most energetil means to defend
itself.
The demand of authorisation to prosecute M.Burek,
for avid( nee given before the Insurrection Committee
to the prejudice of M. Mallon:, in asserting that the
latter had icf, Les Vosges, to assist in the movement
of the 15th of May, has been refused, on the ground
that t'e Assembly is hound to protect the witnesses.
The income-tax is admitted in principle by the As-
aembly, but the project will undergo smae modifica-
tions in detail.
The committee of the National Assembly for the
examination of the project relative to the progressive
tax on successions and donations has almost termi-
nated its labours. It has been decided against in
committee, by a large majority. The present Minister
of Finance, it is said, is not disposed to press this
measure of his predecessor, having always considered
it unadvisable.

The project of the constitution was read to-day be-
fore the Assembly by M. Woirhaye, in consequence of
the indisposition of M. Marrast. After the reading
of this report, the only interesting incident of the
session was the discussion on the question of urgency
on the proposition of M. Laussedat relating to the
papers tound at the Tuileries. M. Laussedat spoke
of parties against the republic, of manoeuvres of the
royalist chiets. M. Larochcjaquelin protested, and M.
Setard, Minister of the Interior, declared that now
everything was tranquil. The question of urgency
was rejected.
The Committee of Finances heard the report of M.
Leon Faucher on the proposition to substitute a forced
loan of two hundred millions Lr the tax of 45
centimes. The proposition was rejected.
To-morrow an important meeting will be held in
the hue de Poitiers, the subject of discussion being
the propriety of the continuance or dissolution of the
Assembly after the vote of the constitution. The
legitimist party is very favourable to the dissolution
before the voting organic laws.
Vie read in the Cwastientinnel ; "On Saturday
evening, at five o'clock, a commissary of police pre-
sented him.elt at the ltue Taitbout, 2, and asked for
IL Louis Blare. On the reply of the porter that he had
notresided there for the last two months, the corn-
miluurY, opening his coat, and showing his scarf,
warned the porter to beware of saying any but
the truth. The man affirmed most positively that
IL Louis Blanc no longer resided there, and that his
le" lodging was 57, Rue Vivienne. The commissary
