It is stated that M. de Biomeleft, the Russian
charg6 d'affaires, is to leave Paris this week for St.
Petersburg. M. de Balabine, secretary to the em-
bassy, is to direct the affairs of Russia in France
during his absence.
It is well observed by a contemporary, that the
danger of our present situation here, is not that of
foreign war, but of domestic disorder. The enemy
which threatener is to be looked for neither in St
Petersburg, in Berlin, nor in Vienna. It is nearer
home. It is, in short, distrust. Credit is shaken at
home. One large banking concern stopped yester-
day. Others are shaken, aad their fall is expected
from hoar to hour.
The thrifty artisan and domestic rush in alarm to
the savings bank, to draw out their hard earned ac-
cumulations. The petit commerce crowds to Caisse
Ganneron, to Lafitte, and the other banks, to draw out
their balances.
The public press, prompted by circumstances like
these, has taken the initiative in urging on the
government the adoption of most sweeping measures
of economical reform by the abolition, not of indi-
vidual offices, but of entire classes of overpaid and
useless public functionaries, La Presse proposes
boldly the total annihilation of the corps diplomatique.
No more ambassadors (says that journal)—no more pleni-
potentiaries, charges d'atfaires, nor secretaries of embassies,
--consuls, nothing but consuls. France needs nothing m..re
to protect effectually her national interests, commerce, in-
dustry, and her subjects. No more double salaries—no more
useless expenses. France wants all her resources to save her
credit, and accomplish the reforms which are required by
the popular welfare.
We have 10 ambassadors, which cost us 1,470,000 francs ;
21 plenipotentiaries, 1,130,000; 33 secretaries to embassies,
323,000 f. And what is the use of all this,—nothing,kabso-
luttly nothing, unless to give rise to difficulties, rivalrysand
misunderstandings.
Do away with all this and there will be
• saving of 2,293,000f.

Carry this to your credit, and 3,678,000 francs will soon
represent a capital of 100 millions.
Let the revolutions which sweep away a throne sweep

away also abuses.
An impression prevails generally that the private
property not only of the ex-king, but of the princes
and princesses, will bo confiscated. What is certain
is, that all the property has been for the present put
under sequestration. On this subject the Sleek this
morning observes:
A decree of the provisional government has put under
sequestration the real and personal property belonging to the
privive domain of the king, and to the princes and princesses
of the royal family. As a provisional measure this is well;
but what will be one with this property ?
The question is delicate, we a,.mit, but it is prceiely for
that resin that we should profit by the calm of the minds
of the people at this moment to solve it.
Confiscation is abolished by our laws, and, if it were not,
it is not to a government which hes generously proclaimed
in the heat of combat the inviolability of human life for po-
lite.' offences, the we can attribute the intention of violating

the rights of private property.
Still, the landed property belonging to the royal family
could not be restored without danger, if not for the state, at
least fur the republic. The solution must, therefore, be
sought either in the investigation of the circumstances of the
title or in the acts of ancient royalty.
Had the ex-king and the princes of his family a title to
their landed property, either that composing the private do-
main, or that tettltd on the house of Orleans ? In principle
the grants on settlements made on the {nine's of the blood
by the munificence of the sovereign, were only conditional,
and reverted to the throne either at the will of the sovereign,
or by the accession to the throne of the prince to whom the
grant was made. They were only parts made to support the
dignity of the throne. There is no longer a throne, there is
no longer need of its dignity being supported. On the very
terms of the grant, the sovereign, that is the nation, re-enters
en the property, the income of
w ich had been aliened for a
h
political purpose which no longer exiets.
As to the private domain, it only exists by a breach of con-
stitutional law. In settling on his children, before his ac-
cession to the throne, the property he derived either from
his anci eters or by royal munificence, the Duke of Orleans
had deprived the state of a property which belonged to it by
immemorial usage.
According to constitusl right, the state is bound to retake
posacasion, and even to demand Oman.
We have shown, then, that the family of Orleans is not
proprietor either of the property granted to it nor of that
composing the private domain. The seizure of these pro-
perues is not, therefore, a confiscation, and cannot be con-
sidered an infringement oa the right of private property.
But, besides the mere legal question as regards the per-
sonal property of Louis Philippe, we are entitled to inquire
if be be not a debtor to the state. In proceeding chrono-
logically we find in 1830 a debt of nine millions due from
the Medlin., to which must be added the interest for seven-
teen yean, the waste committed on the forests of the crown
and of the civil list, the amount of which may in part be
seoertained by the nen-application of two millions a-year to
the finishing the Louvre, to which it was devoted.
The Bank of Franc*, it is said, offers its decided
concurrence to the foundation of a new bank of dis-
count, the organisation and opening of which will
soon take place. Most active preparations are now
in progress.
The movement of Paris was known at Vienna on
he let of March, and had created the deepest con-
sternation. The Metallies fell from 91 to 82. The
news we receive from Italy is far from being of a
satisfactory nature.
An order of the provisional government again
changes the national flag:
Inasmuch as the flag of France is the symbol of national
unity, and that the form of the national flag should be inva-
riably fixed, it decrees:
The flag, as well as the national standard, re-estab-
lished aa they were fixed by the decree of the national con-
vention of 27 Plunose An. 2, afterthe des;gns of the painter
David.
In consequence the three national colours, arranged in
three equal bands, shall in future be placed in the following
order :—The blue attached to the flagstaff, the white in the
middle, and the red at the extremity.
The Moniteur contains a decree abolishing the laws
affecting the press, known as the laws of Sept. 1835.
They were instituted immediately after Fieschi's at-
tempt on the life of Louis Phillipe. Their excessive
stringency made M. Thiers, then minister, very
unpopular.
The Moaiteur also publishes the following tele-
graphic despatch front Toulon :
" Admiral Baudin to the Minister of the Marine :
"My flag was hoisted to-day as commander of the
fleet. The squadron saluted it with cries of Vive la
Republique.'"
The Presse states that the Provisional Government
intends to place the tomb of Napoleon under the care
of the emperor's brother Jerome, who is to be ap-
pointed Governor of the Invalides. It adds, that
Marshal Molitor, the present Governor of the In-
valides, highly approves of the appointment, and was
the first to Fi,c it his sanction.
'f he provisional government, on Monday, received
a deputation of upwards of 500 citizens of the United
States. These gentlemen walked in procession to
the Hotel de Ville, preceded by the American flag
and that of the French republic united, and flowing
from the same staff.
On Monday the Marquis of Normandy had another
interview with M. de Lamartine, on the subject of
the collisions which toms place at Rouen and Havre
between the French and English workmen, the
consequence of which has been that many of the
English workmen have been forced to leave
their work, and embark for England, without their
wages. Lord Normandy also complained of the con-
duct of the inhabitants of Granville, in preventing
the exportation of French cattle to England. M.
de Lamartine slated that acts of excesses of this na-
ture were equally injurious to trade and contrary to
the relations of friendship existing between the two
countries. He added that the government would
not fail to re-establish between the labourers and the
sailors of the two countries the liberty, security, and
friendship which ought to exist, and be strengthened,'
between the two governments.
The Minister of Public Works decrees the establish-
ment at Paris of a central bureau for the organisation
of national ateliers for the department of the Seine,
under the direction of M. Emile Thomas. The works
are to be executed solely by workmen residing within
the 12 tnairies of Parts. The workmen outside
Paris are only to be received in ateliers established
in the tontieue. The workmen to be classified
accordingly. The agents are to act everywhere ac-
cording to the instructions given by the engineers.
A system of general regulation will be pulished
within two months. The president and vice-president
of the government commission for workmen recom-
mend that each trade shall appoint three delegates,
and no more, to form a general assembly of delegates,
to meet at the Luxembourg, on Friday, the 10th

March.
The Journal des lAbats observes, on the financial
measures announced by the provisional government.
We have spin to enregister two other useful measum
on the part of the government—one, to pay the half-year's
dividend of the five per Cents., and the second, to open imme-
diately at Paris a discount-bank for small traders. The capi-
tal will be furnished. up to the sum of three millions, by the
traders themselves, and the rest by the Treasury and the city
of Paris. A similar measure wu adopted in 1830, after the
revolution of July, sad it rendered excellent service. The
situation, however, is no longer the same. Since that pe-
riod, the Bank of France has placed itself much mcooreunthave within
