PARIS, THURSDAY, 630 P.M.
M. Oondcbaux, ex-minister of finance, is making
another attempt to deprive the holders of Treasury
bonds of the full compensation intended for them by
' the Chamber. He proposes the following amendment
on the projoeed law :
Art. 1. The ooneelidatime of Treasury bonds shall take
Awe at 61 Lane. As to thane already effected, there shall
be delivered to theme la wheal maw the consolidation was
made. a supplementary inetwiption of 3 per Ceuta, represent-
ing the Mariam between 61 sad db.
Lam might they was a meeting at the Rae de Poi-
tiers, at which M. Pregame delivered a speech,
indicating the grave dangers which must miss from
the absence of so great a number of members of the
Assembly as have obtained conga, and proposing that
the president and selretaries of the meeting should
be authorised to address a circular to the absent mem-
bers, urging them to return immediately to their
posts. This proposition was supported by M. de Re.
masa and Count Mole, and was unanimously adopted.
The Bishop of Orleans and the Bishop of Quimper
have now both given in their adhesion to the cause of
General Caraignac ; and an electoral manifesto has
been drawn up by the former, which the latter has
agreed to adopt. It appears, however, that another
bishop, who is a member of the Assembly, has
declined to join his right reverend colleagues. The
Bishop of Langres has declared that, in his opinion, it
is not for the clergy, and especially for the ecclesiasti-
cal dignitaries, to mix themselves up with questions of
the kind, and he has accordingly declined to affix his
name to the manifesto.

The Bien Public, the jeurnal of M. de Lamartine,
has the following :
The Abbe Fast. the Bishop of Orleane,has just hatted the
following Oltderal pastoral letter to all the archbishops and
bishops of Frazee;

mature reflection, it appears to us that the choice of
General Cavaigtac for the president of the republic would
offer to religion more guarantee*, sad to the country more
calm and stability, than any other candidateship. We be-
lieve also that the clergy ought to take part in the approach- '

M. Fayet has a perfect right to feel • prefereent, and to com-
municate It to his colleagues. Habituated as he is to cut
himself alined constantly next the praddent of the council,
he ha more opportusities than anyone else toapprecists the
character of that gentlemen. It is sat as that point that we
attack his letter. Wirt appease strange to as is the official
character of the doseamst. trader the monarchy of Louts
Philippe, a well se loader the Besterseless, the clergy were
much reproached via waft thmeselas men Instruments
of power, and fa eceseqesses last math of their popularity.
The republic restored to the clergy Ikea independence and
dignity ; and, if they desire to regain a mad ausendasey
over the population, they must avoid taking up arms for
any party. The interests which they represent are eta far
more elevated order than those beksghtg to pellets, sad they
ought to carefully keep themselves tress all stragles

by one of the most eminent leaders of the moderate
party, to induce him to write and pull& a letter,
• clearly g up the doubts attempted to be east
' upon his support of Prince Louis by the party of
General Cavargnse. The Constirutionnel has affirmed
• on authority, that Bugeaud retired in favour of
Prince Louis, but this is thought to be insufficient,
end an explicit declaration of the Duke d'laly will
probably be published to-morrow or next day.
Considerable offrospeinenta collected yesterday on
the Boulevards and Montmartre, in front of the Na-
poleon Club. The election of Prince Louis became
the subject of very animated discussion. Some dis-
order being manifested, the police intervened at ten
o'clock, and dispersed the crowds.
To-day wu the settlement for railway shares. It
was effected eerily, on account of the few transactions
which have taken place in those securities. The
North wu the only line quoted in the settlement.
Several reports " took place in the principal lines,
and the greater number of transactions were profit-
able to sellers. - - _

deputation of about 80 of the wounded of Fe-
bruary assembled yesterday outside the National
Assembly, and expressed a wish to be admitted to
present a petition, praymg that the pecuniary assist-
ance which they had hitherto received might be con-
tinued to them. M. Yoo, the commissary of police
of the Assembly, in conciliating language informed
them that they could not be admitted, and they then
delivered to him their petition, which he immediately
laid on the bureau of the president.
About six hundred workmen again assembled yes-
terday on the Champ de Mars, but they dispersed
when the commissary of police of the quarter had
informed them that meetings of this kind were against
the law, and could not be tolerated.
I am assured that it is decided that the conferences

of the mediating powers for the settlement of
Northern Italy will be held at Brussels.
Nothing of importance occurred in the Assembly
to-day Yesterday, the report of M. Attaroche u to the ,
exposition of the products of French industry for
1849 wu presented. The commissioner recommends
the erection of temporary buildings in the Champs
Elyse, similar to those used at the former exhibition,
but with additional accommodation for sgricnitnral
objects, and particularly stalls for the lion of
horses, cattle, sheep, and other living acts of
agricultural industry. The Exposition 1849 will
be opened in May.
