PARIS, eIIDAT. 6 30 P.lll.
Much movement and animation are observable to-
day in the Fanbourg St. Honore. The hotel of the
new President is the centre round which numerous at-

troupensents of the operative classes are seen. Great
precautions are taken by the authorities, apparently
with a view of preventing any attack or 'uprise upon
the palace. To-day the ante-chambers wen lea-
pletely filled with troops. The hall presented the
appearance of that of a barrack. A cabinet email
was in session there for stveral hours this afternoon.

The intelligence which I sent you et the plot
frustrated by the sudden presignifies et the
President en Wednesday, was in salntowee menet
Though I gave it under renews at that Essatent, I
have since learned, from ungusidawable authority,
the truth of what I stated.. _ . .

greatest ithserinese is felt by the new ministers
en this subject, and no precaution is neglected for pro-
viding for the remiss' ssonrity of the President of the
Republic. There is a report today that Prince Louis
bad pledged himself to some of the members of the
party of the Mountain to propose, or cause to be
proposed to the Assembly, as amnesty immediately
after his proclamation. The Assembly having, how-
ever, several times rejected such a proposition already,
and the new cabinet being opposed to it, some diffi-
culty has arisen. According to one of the journals,
the personal promise of Prince Louis had been given
to M. Theodore Bac that this measure would be pre-
sented. It is said that this question is now under de-
bate in the cabinet. The funds are again rising. The
Threes have advanced to-day francs on the prices
of yesterday.
It is expected that the new ministry will commu-
nicate its programme to the Chamber onTuesday next.
By decrees issued yesterday, the President of the
Republic has made the following appointmenta :—M.
Baroche, representative of the people, to be Procureur-
General at the Court of Appeal of Paris; M. Barger,
representative of the people, mayor of the snood
arrondissement, to be Piefect of the Seine; M. Amede,
Thayer, member of the municipal commission wounded
in the days of June at the head of his battalion, to be
Director-General of the Post-office; M. Dabost, late
administrator of the Post-office, to be reinstated in his
functions. By a decree of the Minister of the Interior
also dated yesterday, he OMNI M. Csetandst, advo
cats to be chief of his cabinet.

Although the Assembly did not sit to-day, the
bureaux were in session, and most of the members
were in attendance. The common topic of conversa-
tion in the Sidles des Pu Perdue et Conferences were
the prospects of the new cabinet. It was said, that
M. 0. Barrot had evinced a desire to keep a good
understanding between the cabinet and the Assembly.
Although the dissolution of the latter is desired, it is
not his intention to press sech a measure too I
urgently. The bureaux today were employed
in discussing the electoral law. It is desired
to limit the labours of the present Areembly to
the passing of that law and the law on the
responsibility of the President and that on the
responsiodity of the ministers. It will be contended
that the adoption of these laws ought to terminal'
the labours of the Assembly. If an attempt should be
made to postpone the dissolution further, the discord-
ance between the Asi-embly and the electoral body
is HI become apparent Petitions are already in pro-
cess of signature in the departments for immediate
dissolution. One of them, at Poitiers, has received an
enormous number of signatures. In this the right of
the Assembly to pass the organic laws is totally
denied. A large proportion of the Assembly begin
already to perceive the formidable character of this
auvemest, and the opponents of dissolution are
diminishing daily.
Napoleon Bonaparte, the son of Jerome, will be
sent as an envoy to London, to announce to the
English government the installation of the President
of the republic.
General Changarnier received to-day the officers
in amused of the different carps quartered In the
department of the Seine. He informed them that all
the °Moen or soldiers who should be found to attend
the clubs, would be immediately transferred to the
most ineligible garrisons of the country. The unusual
extent of power given to General Changsruier has
excited the remonstrance- of several re presentative,.
Questions on this subject will probably be put to the
government.
Iu the bureaux to-day a committee was appointed to
prepare the project of the electoral law, consisting of
t'se following m. mbe re —MM. de To-Awe-111e, Fayolle,
Reg nerd, Douesul, Chart() , Vesin, Billant, Login r,
Durand (de Romorantin), Charleaagne, St. Romme.

A grid number of the representatives have spoken on
the subjeet in the bureaux. The chief questions
debated were, what offices or functions would render
• cane.idate ineligible, and where the polling plac.
should be fixed. 'I ho majority stem disposed to ex-
tend very much ties number of offices inoompatihie
with the character of a representative. It was ni u
generally agreed that the polling plooes should be 1,,e
chief planes of the canton, and not of the comon.e.

which were desighed, and he coocludes u follows :

But in the following days the demands for
funds made by the different ministri. • in-
censed in a formidable proprtloa, and in
the analog of the 4th of November the
balance existing was not m-re than 27,729,002 44
which showed that from 27th October to 4th Noveinher, in-
elusively, the expenses exceeded the tee:nits' by needle
2,030,000 f. per day. This state of adage could not lait
keg without entieely exhauatin the treasury. Gonna
ruerstres wen neeeedingly demanded by the Minister of
Ilse amie, and seem the expense minding the receipts
rigidly diminished. The average of these expenses above
the receipts, trom the 26th o' October to 10th Novevit'ar,
had been 1,238,0001. per day. From the 10'h November to
the 14th Deannber it was not mere than 101,4001. On the
6th of November the Directeur du Mouvement dee Fond"
announced that, after the payment of public "orrice", nand.
ing the half-year's three per cents. on the 22nd of December,
the balance in band of the Treasury might be on the 31st of
December 6,000,0001. On the 18 hof N.mert her, theeks to
the precautions taken, the minietry obtained the assurance
that the balance would be 30,000,000 E Sines that time the
service of the receivere.general hes been very active, their
payments have increseed, and it may be affirmed that the
disposable balance en the 31st of Doesmber will exceed
40,000,0001. It may be added that the budget of 1849 mat
count on the following extrasnalaary nommus :
