NEWS FROM PARIS.

PARIS, TUESDAY, 11 A.M.
The Minister of the Grand Duke of Tuscany, at
Paris, has communicated to M. de Lamartine a des-
patch received from his government, authorising him
to express the satisfaction of the Grand Duke at the
pacific dispositions of the Provisional Government,
and directing him to maintain friendly relations
with it.
The following important decree has just been pub-
lished by the governmeut
1. Provisionally the tribonala of COCIMITOO are em-
powered to grant to every person in trade a license for three
months at the most, against any proceedings by his creditors;
this license may be revoked on the demand of any inte-
rested party. The license shell only be granted on the fol-
lowing conditions:—The license shall name amongst the
creditors one or more commissaries; thedebtor may be one, but
not the only one. The commissaries may continue the trade
of the debtor, but for all extraordinary arts they must apply
for authority to the tribunal. During the license no cre-
ditor can be paid or preferred to the prejudice of others.
The division of payments shall be made by the tribunal or
one of its members, on a statement to be rendered every ten
days by the commissaries. The dift rent dispositions of the
law concerning the claim, the payment of hills not due as
regards the trader (the other parties being hound only
to pay when due) the validity of deeds, &c., payment and
compensation privileges and mortgages are applicable when
there shall be a judicial license. Ihe actions of the creditors
against partners shall be brought by the commissaries im-
mediately before the tribunal of commerce. In every case
the creditor may interfere for the security of his rights with-
out any other expense than the demand or the act in inter-
vention, the other remaining at the charge of the debtor.
It is announced this morning that M. de Rothschild
went yesterday to the Minister of Police, with the
view of contradicting in the most effectual manner
various reports which have been circulated as to the
intentions of that house. So far from having the
intention of quitting Paris, as had been announced,
and suspending his payments, he intended to
remain, to keep all his engagements relative
to the loan, and take the most liberal measures
to restore credit ; that his brothers from London and
Frankfort, who accompanied him, had come to Paris
with the same intentions, and to come to an under-
standing with him, that the monetary embarrass
menta were not all to be attributed to the events of
February, but that they, as related to many houses,
had existed before that time. M. Caussidiere thanked
him, and asked if he would have a guard placed at
his house. "So far from that," he replied, " I re-
quest you not to place one, I only wish it to be known
that having confidence in the government, confidence
ought to be placed in me."
One of the journals says the Duke and Duchess of
Montpensier are at Brussels, where they preserve
the most strict incoynito. The duchess is going to
Ems to pay a visit to the Duchess of Orleans, before
going to Spain. The stay of the duke and duchess
at Brussels explains an official note inserted in all the
newspapers, which denies that the departure of the
duke from London had been caused by the discovery
of a secret correspondence at the Tailleries.

Letters from Genoa, of the 16th March, inform us
that the constitution proclaimed is not acceptable
either there or at Turin. They wish the dismissal of
the ministry. It is said that the king is ill and dis-
contented. The provisional civic guard is on duty.
The actual government inspires no confidence. De
monstrations will be made. General Ruaglia has
bemisuspended, for having written an article in favour
of the amnesty. l'be people assembled under hie
windows, crying " Long live Ruaglia. 1)own with
Dorelli ; down with the ministry.' Things cannot
remain as they are.
From Turin we hear, on the 16th inst., that the
programme of the new ministry was required to con-
tain: 1. Immediate and complete arming of the
people, and formation of a corps of observation. 2, Oath
by the army to observe the statutes. 3. Entire am-
nesty. 4. Civil and political emancipation of the
Jews. 5. Omnipotence of parliament; that is, a
power to make all changes required by circum-
stances. - - . -- . . . .

Ina letter from Genoa, of the 15th, it is stated that
Austria concentrea every day new troops on the fron-
tiers. A great number of contingents had arrived,
with the cordon bleu on their breasts, and singing
" Coll' azzu.-a coccarda so! petto" whilst they paraded
the city.

A letter, dated Naples, 9th March, says! A steamer
has arrived from Messina. Pronio has sent to say that
he had sustained a fire for twelve hours, and could
maintain the citadel no longer. The fort of St.
Salvadore had been stormed by Messinese, who took
180 soldiers prisoners. A confirmation of this news
will be found in our Malta letter.

Our Madrid correspondent writes on 15th inst.,
that the bill of Narvaez for conceding extended
powers to the government, with the faculty of raising
two millions sterling, having received the royal
assent, is published in to-day's Gazette as a law of
tke realm ; so that the ministers may, if they choose,
shut the Cortes to-morrow, suspend individual gua-
rantees, and clap the whole branch of liberal deputies,
editors and agitators in prison.
The-funds were as follows :—Three per Cents., 231;
Fiveiper Cents., I,cl I.paper ; Passives, 5 paper ; Cou-
pons, 10 paper; Bank of St. Ferdinand, 110 cash,
112 paper. Exchange on London, 46 50-100.

By the Levant mails we have remixed the Athens
journals and correspondence of the 9th inst.' Much
activity was manifested in the war department. The
kingdom had been divided under three military corn-
mends, the first including Bmotia and Eubea, under
General Gardikiatti ; the second comprising Oriental
Greece, under the command of General Mamouri ;
and the third, Western Greece, under Sotiri Stratos.
The battalion of light troops, under Grivas, goes
to Arcania—nother body to Thebes—for Phtiotide a
detachment of. cavalry. The motives of these move-
ments are not known. Some•who pretend to. be in
the secrets of the government `say that some
of the chiefs had magnified the danger of the
popular discontent for their own views. Whatever
be the cause, these changes cost money, and the
treasury is -not sufficiently flourishing to admit
unnecessary expense.
Col. °redbird is named Chief of the Gendarateri
in substitution of. Col. Delyorghi, whose disgrace is
attributed to having arrested • the famous mirerque
•Tzinos. CoL Pisa is appointed Director of Stores,
-and CoL Thouret Major of Athens.

Advices from Persia to the Ist February, announce
that all the military operations in the Khorasan have
been interrupted by the winter, the Shab's troops
have retired to the towns, leaving the country to the
insarents ; it is little tenable now owing to the
quantity of snow which has fallen. It has been
officially announced to the Divan that the
Shah will, in the spring, direct the military
operations in person. It appears to be decided
that the Prince Bohaina Mirza will not again return
to Tauris. The heir presumptive to the throne left
on tho4Sth of January, to take possession of the go-
vernnient of Aderbaidjan. The winter is ex-
tremely severe; since the commencement of the
year the snow has never ceased falling. The
roads are impassable ; caravans and couriers no
longer arrive, and we are in a manner blocked up in
the city, without being able to get out.
Letters from Athens to the 10th inst. state that the
ministry has at last brought forward the budgets for
1847 and 1848. The total receipts tar 1847. amount
to 12,626,454 drachmae; the expellees fee the some

year are 17,421,602 drachmas, leaving a deficiency in
the year of 4,793,16 R drachmas.
