LATEST FROM PARIS.

PARIS, TUESDAY, 11 30 •
For some time back it has bee* reported that Gen.
Cavaignac and his party had come to an arrangement
with the Journal des Debate by which they have
scoured the support of that journal. According to
one report it bad been directly purchased; according
to another, high military promotion for one friend and
an embassy for another, has been the consideration.
Whatever may have been the conditions, however, the '
result has been for sometime manifest. The Delve, has
I been gradually and skilfully tacking into the course
of the National, and it now sails full in the wake of
it. To-day it has declared for the candidateship of
General Cavaignac.
The resignation of M. Marrast, as president, given
unexpectedly last evening, produced one of those
curious scenes which are so frequent in the Assembly.
It may be remembered that M. Marrut's month does
not expire till Saturday, and in due course he could
not resign till Friday. Being questioned as to the
reason of conduct so extraordinary, he admitted that
he desired that the members who have obtained
cough, and who would leave before Friday, should
have an opportunity t f voting. As the majority of
these are his own friends, the Assembly thought the
proceeding ra'her tmnsparent,and M. Larochejaquelin,
tra°vlenegd mounted the tribune, designated it by the
term " escobarderie," which M. Marrast declared to
be unworthy of reply.
Another democratic banquet has taken place at the
Barriere du Maine, atone franc a head, at which nine
representatives, membersof the Mountain,attended. On
entering they were received with cries of " Viva la
Montagne ! M. Louis Blanc was declared honorary
president on the occasion, and was represented by an
empty chair. The vim-president, M. Vancard, acted.
All tile usual toasts were given, with which the public
are already familiar, and in which the name of the
Mountain was effectively repeated.

Since the foregoing was in type, the following has
arrived :
PARIS, I'I:IMPLY, 6.30 P.M.
M. Marred was re-elected to-day president of the
National Assembly, by a considerable majority. The
following is the division : Voters, 585 ; majority, 293 ;
M. Armand Marrast, 378; L. de Maleville, 144 ;
Locrosse, 21 ; Senard, 11.
In the Assembly today the project for the com-
pensation to the depositors in the savings banks and
the holders of Truancy Bonds was postponed to
Monday. The supply necessary for the re-establish-
ment of the chair of political economy and the other
profeseorebips suppressed by the provisional govern-
ment after February, was voted.
The committee appointed to fix the responsibility
of the president of the republic and the ministers, has
held four sittings, at which there have been very ani-
mated discussions. It appears to be the determination
of the committee to surround the president, whoever
he may be, with such a network of restrictions, and
such tight limitations, that power will scarcely be left
him to breathe or to move. The difficulty will be to
act or speak at all without committing treason against
the state. The great object of the committee has been to
preserve to the National Assembly the same complete
and unrestricted sovereignty which it now possesses,
notwithstanding the nomination of the president. It
has been decided that every intervention, however
apparently inoffensive, on the:part of the president or
of the ministers, with the elections will be held to be
a crime against the state. Careful provisions are also
made to punish in the president or the ministers all
attempts toecercise undue influence in the Assembly.
There was a considerable public excitement last
evening in Paris. Very animated and noisy groups
collected on the Boulevards and in the garden of the
Falai' Royal, where they were addressed by orators.
Lord Normanby had a reception last evening, at
which General Cavaignac, M. Msreast, General La-
moriciere, and all the other ministers, were present.
As was expected, the bishops are coming forward
in surnort of General Cavaignac. The Brest journal
contains a declaration and a manifesto in his favour,
signed by the Bishop of Quimper and twelve other re-
presentative'. The Bishop of Quimper, who has much
influence with the clergy generally, has written to
most of the bishops of France in his favour. The
other bishops, who are members of the Assembly,
have adopted the same course.
Among the numerous comments which the adop-
tion of the candidateship of Prince Louis by the mo-
derate party has excited, the following, from the
National of this morning, is deserving of quotation :
The Constitutionnel prot,ouneed itself, yesterday, plainly
in favour of M. Louis Napoleon u a candidate for the presi-
dentship. We shall not discus this resolution in a penonal
point of view, for we do not want to place the Comfits-

Our Madrid oonespondent, writing on the Bth
instant, says :
The Queen's forces sustained a considerable defeat from
the Carlini on the let, who, 1,000 foot strong, attacked the
column of Brigadier Paredes, composed of picked men, at
Bequirel. Four cavalry officers on the Queen's side fell,
and of foot many were slain and fifty taken prisoners.
The detachment of La Birbal, in number 80. had surren-
dered to 800 Carlirs, and reports prevailed at Barcelona, on
the 3rd, that three companies had been made prisoners near
Vich. Meanwhile, Ametiler and his republicans have been
driven into France. The Pamplona correspondent of the
Befog= announces an invasion of Navarre as on the eve of
taking pleas.
Though the Bayonne papers contradict the fact of
the destruction of the faction at Huesca, our corres-

poadent says :
Some additional details have been received concerning the
defeat of the republican faction near Huesca. Brigadier
Angles, who pursued the rebels with 50 horse after their de-
parture from Hums on the afternoon of the 30th, came up
' with them at Bietamo, two leagues from Huesca. Here he
waited for the infantry, which amounted to 125 men. He
also sent for the other half of his force which he had left in
Hance, and for four companies of foot at &agues*. With
such forces as be had he blocked up ail the avenues of the
town overnight. The fighting commenced early in the morn-
ing. The rebels, between 200 and 300, were driven from house
to house till they occupied only the church and two houses.
In the afternoon of the 31st they surrendered at discretion.
The number executed is not yet known. In fight they lost
five men. Probably the arrival of the four fresh companies
from limn's& decided the affair.
The Prince of Carta wish his family left. Madrid last
night, by the road to Andalusia. It appears that for the
present he will reside in Gibraltar.
The two cabecillas, Barren and Altamira, were shot at
Figueroa on the 31st.
La Siva, tried for shooting at the queen in June, 1847,
has been sentvneed by the tribunal to which he appealed
from the sentence of death, to 20 years' confinement in
prosidio.
