There is today a highly romarbable article lathe
Ordre, which seems to offer an arizyfee the de-
feotioa from the liberal principlessi,ocated
with energy by the tier-pare. 'fbe-exeuseis appre-
hension of the difficulty into whisk the government
would be thrown by the rejectionor even modification
of 'he bill.
The Cbtsridediatowl gives in its first page en article
beaded by the name of Cavalgnao, in large print,
which analyses the career of that statesman and mol-
dier since the revolution of '4B, and concludes that he
will be henceforth rejected by both the great parties.
Count Hobe:Abel has presented to the President
his credentials as envoy of Saxony, together with the
letter of recall of M. de Kdoneritz.

Several waggons of ammunition have set oat from
Paris for Lyons, Toulouse, Lißar, and Marseilles.
From a return in the Amman des Chemins de Fer,
it appears that the average weekly receipts per kilo-
metre of the principal railways have been as follows
during the first seventeen weeks of the present year :
Orleans, 1,392 fr.; Rouen, 1,038 k. ; Northern, 707 k. ;
Hans, 607 k.; Strasburg, 697; Bordeaux, 6951 r.;
Avignon and Marseille., 419 k. ; Centre, 302 fr. ;
Amiens and Boulogne 249 k.; Tours sad Nantes,
238 k. • Monteresa and Troyes, 197 k.; Dieppe, 178 fr.
The first weekly receipt per kilometre on the Paris
and Lyons railway, including the section from Dijon
to Chalons, was 4761 r., it has since risen to Mfr.
The Western line, recently opened, yields on an
average 350 fr. ; the Strasburg and Bale line, about
250 k. _ _

Some days ago information was given to the com-
missary of polio. of the quartier, that a man living on
the Boolevard do Mont.Parnasse was engaged in the
clandestine manufacture of arms. A watch wuset

on ascertained that when he had
comp!eted any weapons, he deposited them at the
wina shop, at the BarW:re d'Enfer, where a man in a
blouse sought them. Yesterday be was arrested is he
was conveying to the wine-shop three cane-muskets.
A search in his lodgings resulted in the seizure of a
kgreat many gunsmith's tools, of three infantry mus-
ets, some swords, and a small quantity of ammu-
nition.

The responsible editor of the National of Paris, M.
Lombard Morel, and the responsible editor of the
RetpuiVicnin de Seine-et-Marne, M. Perrin, were yes-
terday severally condemned (the former by default)
by the Correctional Tribunal to three months' impel-
ferment and 200 fr. flee, for having announced a
eupscription to pay the fine and costs incurred by a
woman, named llourteaux, of Fontsnaille, for having
illegally hawked newspapers. Perrin is a dismissed
schoolmaster, who had already been condemned for
political offences.
The Erenement says that a council of ministers met
yesterday at the Elyse.. and that, according to report,
the difference between France and England was com-
pletely settled. I have made inquiry with regard to
this statement, and find that no arrangement has been
yet concluded.' Lord Normanby comes dail7 to Paris,
and returns to his country residence at Nersailles in
the evening.
I have before mentioned that Girardin has been
cited before the tribunals for clandestine printing.
The fact is, that hir celebrated petition against the
Electoral Bill formed • part of the Presse, space
1 being left for the signatures; but when this was cat
off no printer's name was attached. The delivery of
the kntence has been put off for a week.
The Five per Cents. to-day, after having fallen to
90.25, rose to 90.90, and closed at 90.85, being a rise
of 10c. upon last night. The Threes experienced a
rise of 15c. upon 66.60.
In other stocks but trifling variations were observ-
able. The tendency at the close of the Bourse was
decidedly to rise. Tne continued rise of the funded
debt is the best proof of the small importance attached
to the affair of the recall.

PARIS, WIDNESDAT Emma.
In the sitting of the Legislative Assembly to-day
the &bate on the Electoral Bill was resumed. M.
nipy moved an amendment to the Ist paragraph
of the 3rd article, proposing to make the list of per-
sons exempted from the personal tax on the score of
indigence a means of attesting the electoral
domicile. M. Leon Faucher having declared
no such list existed, M. Tiugny withdrew his
amendment, which was taken up, however, by La-
rochtjacquelin. The latter said that he had always
been for universal suffrage, even during the monar-
chy. The present bill was brought forward by per-
sons who had set aside, by the previous question, his
proposal to appeal to the nation as a violation of the
constitution. But the bill was a much clearer
violation of the constitution. It diefranchised half
the electors of France. He was against admitting
vagabmds and criminals to vote ; but this bill would
take away the votes of the rural population. In his
department there were sixty-eight thonaand electors
net inscribed upon the roll of the personal tax. Upon
being pat to the vote, the amendment was rejected by
a large majority. Among those who voted for it
wire MM. Laborde, Favreau, and de Orammont.
An amendment, presented by. M. Vauguas and others,
tending to extend the conditions of franchise in the
bill, was also rejected. Bat a motion of M. Elche-
very, proposing to extend to grandfathers and
grandmothers, and relations within the same
degree, the obligation of certifying the resi-
dence of their descendants, was adopted by the
Assembly. M. Jules Fevre then moved an amend-
ment, by means of which the certifiate of domicile
could be furnished by two citizens of the commune.
He aczused the law of unconstitutionality, and re-
commended his motion as an abatement of its wrong
by a return to •the common right. M.
Baroche said that this amendment could only be of
ass in ease of refusal on the part of the employer
or master, and the relief provided by the committee
in this case was an appeal to the jugs de pia. The
amendment was rejected, as was also another of the
same tendency presented by M. Rolltnat. Then the
amendment of 31M. Beaumont, Vesin, and others,
proposing to base the certificate of domicile on the
lists of those who drew lots for satisfying the recruit-
ment, was brought forward and developed by M.
Vesin.

The amendment of Beaumont and Vesin was re-
jected, and Art. 3 adopted by 438 against 198.
The speech of M. Bouvet in favour of the amend-
ment of Wain excited a ferocious uproar, and a duel
is said to be arranged between M. Bouvet and M.
Roger dn Nord. The party of Beaumont and Vain
will vote for the ensemble of the law (Vesin has de-
clared as much) notwithstanding the:rejection of their
amendment.

The vote on the ensemble of the bill will, barring
unforeseen incidents, be taken to-morrow. It is con-
sidered certain of being passed by a large. majority ;
the right say 120. Not only are the majority already
mowing triumph, but the standard-bearer of
the crusade against democracy, the Patna,,
gives notice that a pendant to the E lectoral
Law is already on the stocks, and will be launched
forthwith. The threatened bill is not further speci-
fied ; bat everything indicates that the majority will
not wait till 18.52 to revise the conatitation.
An immense number of petitions against the Elec-
toral Law have been presented from all parts of
France.
M. Odilon Burro!, who in the beginning showed
a disposition to oppose tho Electoral Liw, has an-
nounoed to his friends that he would give it his entire
support, and not fail ist the critical hour of voting.
The vacillation exhibited by this statesman is really
painfuL
