PARIS, WEDNESDAY, 11
The report of the Executive Commission OR the
affsir of the lath, which I sent yon on Friday, and
which appeared in the Erpreas of Saturday last,
was not published in Paris until this morning, when
it appeared in the leading journals. It is severely
animadverted on as a lame and impotent delence, and
moreover an unjustifiable attempt to prejudice the
cause of those who are about to be brought to toe bar
of j twice.
l'he committee of the Assembly on the constitution
decided yesterday in favour of a single president, by
a majority of 17 voices against 5.
A placard was posted, yesterday, in Paris, pro-
posing the Prince de Joinville as a candidate for the
department of the Seine. The decree of banishment
against the family, however, disqualifies him for the
Assembly. The placard was torn down.
M. Louis Blanc was brought before the examining
magistrates yesterday, as a witness in the affair of
the 15th. _ ,

Several arrests took plaza yesterday under war-
rants from the examining magistrates in relation to
that affair.

It seems that, notwithstanding M. Louis Blanc's
theory of equality he hos shown but little disposition
for its practice. I learn that at the Luxembourg he
lived in royal state. M. Emile Thomas also, it
seems, reposed in luxurious splendour in the
Pavillon de Mouceaux. I learn that the furniture
was magnificent, so as to be suited fur brilliant recep-
tions. The expences of this youth suddenly elevated
from an humble rank by the political convulsion of
February have amounted to 1,000 francs a day.
A new associ .tion of representatives has just been
organised, with General Baragitay as Presi-
dent. It consists at present of about 200 members,
among whom there is no ex-deputy.

The Madrid mails of the lt6th have arrived. Our

correspondent continues to report the arbitrary arrests
of English subjects, for whom it would appear that
there is neither protection nor redress since the de-
parture of the British minister.
Accounts from Valencia announce the dispersion of
the formidable band of insurgents under Sendra and
Ibars.
The ministerial journals publish articles daily
grossly insulting to the English.
Govt rnment continued in great pecuniary embar-
rassment, and appeals were reported to have been
made by Narvaez for pecuniary aid to several indi-
iduals of the wealthy noblesse.
Our correspondent says: "After sealing up my
despatch yesterday I went to the Gefatara l'olitica to
learn from Col. Bristow, if possible, the cause of hie
extraordinary treatment by the government, and of
the violation of his rights as a British subject. I
found the colonel in a filthy entresol, where
ho had passed the night, swarming with prisoners.
At his elbow was one of the ronda urging him to
pack up a little valise with more despatch." Ai.d.
again : " I understand that the firing upon the people
outside the bank doors yesterday morning, between
four and five o'clock, was attended with fatal results.
Two have died, and five are severely wounded. It
seems a patrol took them for conspirators ; at
least this is the excuse. But seeing that the govern-
ment threatened, through its semi-official organ, the
Popular, a month ago, to disperse by force the crowd
that besieged the bank doors, no doubt exists in the
mind of any one that these murders were committed
with the connivance and by the order of the autho-
rities, to make the attendance with bank notes want-
ing change a dangerous occupation."

ITALY.—Advises from Milan to the 26th have
been received. It was affirmed that General Pepe
had advanced from Bologna and passed the frontier.
The French squadron, which was at Naples, had
despatched some of its vessels to the Adriatic.
A letter from Venice of the 24th says, that a
Neapolitan war steamer, arrived from Trieste, had
