The decisions of the conneils.general, so far ns
known, have been in the great majority favourable to
the revision of the nonetatution. The expression of
this desire has not been accompanied, exoept in one
or two nee instances', bye recommendation to prolong
the powers of the President. Generally these provin-
cial aseemblies have expressed thtir confidence in the
wisdom and &moths of the National Assembly to
effect to. necessary reforms is the way lent likely to
disturb the country. It is impossible that so decided
• manifestation depiction on the part of these impor-
tant bodice should not be bailed throoghont France
se • severe blow to the work of the Ganetituent
Assembly. Everybody sees the danger of not pro-
vidiog against the crime which most engine, if Louis
Napoleon should be at the presidential election in
le 4:•2 the only candidate who obtains two millions of
votes, while the constitution declares him not re-
eligible. Au anomaly so obstructive to the natural
course of the national will ought clearly to be guar:!ed
against by timely remedies, else the knot will have
to be cut by the sword.

selves on the subject of the revision of the constitu-

The public attention has been at last seriongly fixed
upon the Suiety of the Dix Gommlee by a cerise of
revelations and averments concerning the nature and
Mine of this formidable &acclaim, which could no
longer be evaded by silence. Tne mask of a charitable
institution WWI torn from this Bonapartist conspiracy
by a variety of organs demociatic and moderate. It
was said that a mutual-aid society is not divided into
brigades and regiments like an army, with a military
hierarchy, generals called organisers, colonels going
by the title of commissioners, captaius dubbed heads
of sections, inspectors who perform the office of
corporals, and members who wanted nothing but the
name and opportunity to become soldiers. To tolerate I
a secret club presenting the same features of organisa-
tion and the same illegal character as the socialist
clubs, is too glaring a breach of duty in the govern-
ment not to call down the strongest reprehensions from
the Committee of Permanence, composed as it
is of persons expressly selected to cross
the President's ambition. Meanwhile • founder
and secretary of the society has addressed a
public letter to General Pia% its president, giving in
his resignation, in consequence of the general's ex-
pressed determination not to sneerer the challenges of
the press. M. Gillis, the censor of the society, has
addressed s letter to the Ordre, which is far from
satisfying the public as to its objects. It has affiliated
Edges in a cut number of communes throughout
France, and mutt become ere long a serious subject of
parliamentary inquiry; for, although the number of
members and the resources of the Dix Datembre are
not such at the present moment as to give any serious
cams for immediate alarm, the executive power is
watched by the majority with too much jealous vigi-
lance for the growth of a revolutionary instrument to
be permitted to proceed quietly.
M. Berryer, who has been spending some der on
his estate, at Angerville, near Pans, has come to
town to-day, to attend a sitting of the Committee of
Permanence which will be held to-morrow, and is
expected to be more animated than the preceding
meetings. It is said that explanations will be de-
manded with regard to the movement, of M. Sal-
'Andy, who goes from Wiesbaden to Claremont, and
from Claremont to Frohsdorf. The departure of M.
Saleslady for Frohsdorf, announced yesterday by a
serious organ like the Debate, makes much sensa-
tion; and the government is not a little disquieted by
the active efforts mode by this ex-minister to promote
• fusion between the Bourbon branches.
Dr. Choumel, the confidential physician of the
Odom Emily, received lest night an express from
Bemis, summoning him to repair with all despatch
is the bedside of the Queen of the Belgians, whose
alma appears to be of a much more serious nature
than was at first "append.
Since Louis Philippe's death, the journals have
been speaking of the fortune which he has left, and it
has been even said that the legacy duties would
amount to some millions. I find the exaggeration
which I suspected in these accounts is greater than I
supposed. The landed property belonging to the
late king contains about 88,000 hectares (the hectare
is nearly 21 English acres), thcia divided : 46,000
comprised in the donation made by the king to hie
children on Atiliast 7, 1830, and of which he reserved
to himself the life interest; 13,000 belonging to the
king himself; and 18,000 bequeathed to him, for his
life only, by Madams Adelaide, his sister. The groat
revenue of this property, calculated on an average of
tea years, is 2,989,000 fr. Su 1848 it has been
smaller, and for 1861 will not, it is supposed, amount
to more than 3,900,000 fr. Bat from all this it is

necessary to deduct the expenses of taxes, insurance,
management, agency, B<o., amounting to 1,811,0006.
There therefore remains a revenue of 2,378,000 fr.,
which, at three per sent., represents a capi-
tal of nearly 'treaty-sine millions. In this
valuation I do not comprise non-productive
such as chateaux. parks, and gutless, which,
it must be admitted, an not without importance.
For inatanee, the park of Mocesaux, is the Faubourg
da Roth. close to Perim is altogether unproductive,
and contains 19 hectares, worth, say, 2,000,000 fr.;
also the park of Nesilly, oontalame nearly 188 Me-
tre, gives no yet, if sold is lots, it would
give at least 4,000,000 fr. I ought to mention that I
have included in this statement the property of the
Duke d'Aumals's domain, of which the Queen Maris-
Amelia has the life see and which gives about
137,000 fr. a year. In Sus, to be exact, I ought not
to pas. over in Alma the 'moveably property of the
King, coneistioe of matters held in gammon by him
and Madame AMaide arising from canal shares and
tontines, which, without exaggeration, mud be
worth 323,000 fr. a year; also government securities
belonging to Louis-Philippe himself, amounting to
100,000 M. a year, including 30,000 fr. a year in the
Five per Conte" for the chapels of Dreux and Nenilly.
But this situation, so brilliant in appearance, is con-
siderably diminished by the enormous debts con-
tracted almost exclusively for the works widertakes
at Versailles and the royal Wares. The names of
the executors of Louis-Philippe an now known :
They are MM. de Montalivet, Dapio, Sen., de Mont-
morency, Leplagne, Barris, and Scribe, formerly
advocate of the Court of Qu;ation.

The President received the authorities of St. Lo at

address of the president of the Tribunal of Commerce :
You address to me, for services which say government has
rendered to commerce, the expression of a gratitude to which
I am very sensible. The two establishments of which yiu
desire the oration at Bt. Lo (an independent depot of tail•

The government has received the following tele-

sident :

AVRANCHEI, Sir?. 11. 8 A x.
The President vet out yesterday from St. Lo, and arrived
at ATTIPA.ohes yesterday evening at de, pawing through Colo
teams and Grenville by the way. At Coutarices be went to
the cathedral, where he was complimented by the bishop, at
the head of his clergy. At Granville he laid the foundatior.-
Mose of a bean which Is to complete;the'port. In Omit.°
towns, and everywhere on big passage he was received with
cries of" Vive le President! Vice Napoleon!" The en-
tread into Amanches, amid as imaeaw population, grouped
upon the balustrade of the ascent into the city, sad saluting
the President with the most enthusiasUc acclamations, was
magnificent.
