LATEST FROM PARIS.

Since the receipt of intelligence which will be found
in another page, we have the following from our cor-
respondent:
PARIS, Titessnsv, 6 30 v.m.
Paris continued tranquil today. The expectation
of the ministerial explanations to be elicited by the
questions of M. Pa-cal Duprat was disappointed. At
the opening of the session of the Assembly to- day, that
representative ascended the tribune and informed the
Assrmbly that the circumstances which yesterday
rendered his inttrpellatior.s necessary had to-day
ceased to exist, and thus the matter was allowed to
drop. As this was pretty well known, there was but
a thin attendance at the Assembly, where no member
of the government was present and only one or two
of the ministers.
I have received, from a representative friendly to
the government, the following statement, which may
be considered as that which the Executive Commission
desires to be put forth:
M. Pascal Duprat was induced to withdraw his
question, on which confidence was to be voted or re-
fused, in consequence of the friends of the govern-
ment in the Assembly having declared themselves
unwilling to give a new vote of confidence two days
After one had been giver by a large majority. The
twelve mayors of l'aris were consulted by the execu-
tive, and they were of opinion that there wall nothing
hostile to the executive in the vote of the admission of
Louis llonaparte. Many of the members who
voted on this occasion having made the same
de lsration to the Executive Commission, the
latter have renounced their intei•tion of re-
signing, and consider the vote in favour of Louis
Nap Icon and against the government as a special
one, in which the Assembly differed from the Execu-
tive without having less confidence in its general
policy.
Tao same groups of carious ;warms, waiting to
: witness the arrival of Prince Louis Napoleon on
former days Acre collected round the Chamber to-
r day, but the object of their curiosity did not arrive.
. It is said that the Committee of Finarccs is almost
• unanimously opposed to the plan of M. liuclere,
Mi-
nister of Finance, for absorbing t.:e railway corn-

para.'s.
The address of Prir.ce Louis Napoleon, which I
mentioned in my despatch of this morning as haying
been placarded on the walls of Paris, and addressed
to the electors of the Seine, the Yonne, and the Sarthe,

is as follows :
C.tizens,—Your suffrages fill me with gratitude; this
mark of aymuthy much more Mattering inasmuch as it
was unsol,cited, reached me at a moment when I proposed
to remain in retirement; out when the country has need of
the c ,ncurrerre of all its children to relieve it from the
mfficul•ies in •shich it is plac, rl, your centidenee imposes on
e duties that I shall know how to fultil. Our intro
ars
ours ntimr nts, our wishes arc the ft ,me. A son of Paris,
and now reprssentative of the people, I shall join my etf,,rta
to those of my colleagues to re-establish order, credit, trade,
to ensure external peace, to consolidate democrat's institu
i lions, and conciliate the interests which seem opposed at this
momen*, because th• y are mixed up with suspicion, and are
etruzeling t gether in lieu of progressing toucher towards
one common end, the prosperity and greoeatness of
free, the country.
Since the 24'h of February the pple ore and can
obtain everythine without brute force.
Let us all rally, then, round the altar of the country tinder
the ban, er of the republic, and exhibit to the world the
great spectacle of a people who have r, gem rated themselves
without violence, without civil war, without anarchy.
Lord m, June 11, ISIB. Lotus NAPOLEON.
The walls were to-day stuck over with n placard
bearing no signature, but recommending in strong
terms the Assembly to dismiss the government and
the ministry, and to confer a dictatorship on M.
Canssidicre.
Amongst the persons arrested in the tumie.tuoue
groups who uttered cries of " Vice Napoleon!"
" Vice l'Empereur!" there were many who were
implicated in the attempt of the 15th May, and
others who latterly have been noticed in the ottrove-
;neuter crying " Vive BarWs." Thus the criminal inquiry
necessarily have a double aspect, and have to
investigate contradictory manifestations by the same
parties. Many of the accused parties are charged
with having taken a part more or less active in th.•
attempts in favour of Louis Napcleon ; and others, and
the more numerous portion, used'only his name as a
pretext, and to conceal their real intention. It is re-
markable that since Wednesday the cries of " Vice
Barbee !" have completely given place to those of
" Vivo Napoleon !" Amongst these latter persons
are many belonging to societies and clubs holding the
most palpably ultra democratic opinions.
M. Leon Faucher has deposited to-day an amend-
ment on the government project of finance. lie pro-
poses to odd the following to the first paragraph :
"The subscribers to the National Loan issued at
5 per ci nt. at par will be admitted to share the
benefits 4f the present measure, and there shall there-
fore be delivered to them, on demand. an amount of
stock equal to three-sevenths of the amount of their
subscriptions."
Art. 5. The Minister of Finance is authorised to
grant an interest, not exceeding 6 per cent., to the
holders of Treasury Bonds who will consent to post-
pone for a year their claim for liquidation.
It is asserted that the loan will be 200 millions, in-
stead of 150, and that the Committee of Finances
proposes to suppress all the other measures by which
the Minister of Finances intended to raise 580 mil-
lions before the end of 1849.
A proposition of a grave nature was made lest
night at the" Club Democratique Centralo do la Garde
Nationale," which was to protest against the
principals and tendencies of certain journals, par-
ticularly the Republican Napolennien and the Petit
Caporal, and to require the Minister of Justine to
prosecute those journals immediately.
The committee formed to examine the bill to re-es-
tablish the practice of divorce has pronounced, by 13
votes to 4 against the measure. The whole committee
were unanimous in declaring against the presentation
of the bill at present, on the ground that the moment
is inopportune. It is supposed that the government
will withdraw the bill.
A journal called Le Bien Public, published under
the auspices of M. Lamartine, and understood to
express his sentiments, attributes to anarchical and
communist factions the election of Prince Louis Bona-
parte ; signalizes in strong terms, and terminates in
declaring that, even though an order of the day
motived should give to the Executive Commission a
new vote of confidence, the latter must nevertheless
resign their functions, owing to the false position in
which they are placed.
