PARIS, FIIIDAT 7 in.
To-day the members of the Assembly met in the
bureau; to appoint a committee of fifteen representa-
tives fur the examination of the Electoral Reform
Bill. The following committee was appointed:—
MM. de l'Espinasse, Beaver, Leon Faucher, Placa-
tory, Becher, de Vatimetnil, de Boinvilliers' Base, de
Lawler, Gen. de St. Priest, Jules de Larstsyrie, de
Broglie, de Montigny, Combarel de Leyval, Leos de
Malleville. Of these, 7 belong to the committee of 17
who (raised the bill. The Caine, of the remaining 8
are to be found on the side of the government in the
division on the previous question, which took place on
the Bth. ])e l'lspinssse and Comberel de Leyval are
the only two of the committee nr favourable to the bill.
Paris continues to preserve an aspect of perfect
quirt and order, even in those portions of the city
which ate the first to break into Same on the eve of
Iw. We. This tranquillity is, I think, misinterpreted
by the party of order. It meats not discouragement,l
as they imagine, but discipline. The precautions
which the governnment is adopting show, that an
instate will not take it by surprise. Several fresh
regiments have been added to the garrison. Two re-
giments on the point of departure have been conk r-
imaded. The new battalion of gendarmerie mobile
has been installed in its barracks. The barracks of
the Ecole Militaire are so crowded that the soldiers
sleep in the passoges.
On Wednesday evening and Thursday morning
some members of the Mountain and the delegates of
the socialist conalave sat en:p..rrnanence, to decide
upon the cow se to pursue cinder present circumstances.
Aft. r a stormy discussion the qui stion is said to have
been put to the vote whether there should be any
armed resistance and an immediate resort to force, and
minted by 80 noes against 70. Ti.e conclave then
adjourned until the Electoral Bill should have passed.
Meanwhile there is little doubt the reds are busy in
recruiting adherents among the national guard.
Teday the sitting t f the Legislative Assembly has
presented litt'e interest. The private budget of the
Assembly has been voted. The house then passed to
the budget of the Ministry of Public Work., govern
chapters of which were voted, but no incident of in-
ten st chequered the monotony of the debate.
Sereral it tiers from the departments of the Cal-
vados end .14 Manche, ell agree to the state of
suffering felt in the rah province of Normandy. The
prices of bath cattle and prodece were sensibly im-
proving when the election of the 10th of 3lerch at
Peril s.opped this favonrabla movement, and the
el- ction of the 28th of April Las rendered the state cf
things more deplorable than ever. The majority of
the breeders and graziers have been obliged, ua order
to raise money, to sell some of their finest stock at
ruinous prices. Stallions of the most useful and
vnuable kinds have been sold for exportation. Those
farmers who were compelled to make there sacrifices
found only a temporary relief from it, and are now
for the most part unable to pay their rents. It will
take many years before Normandy can recover the
lo se* which it his sustained, and recover its for-
mer prcsjxrity.
The captain of t!:e company of the National Gnarl
at 3laysese who at a late review came on the grownd
in a Phrygisa esp. has been suspended for two months
by the onseil de D.cipline. The offender will have
to answer for his conduct befse the Court of Assists.
An &Aiwa for libel was yesterday brought against
M. Chen; the author of a work named " Lea Con-
epizeteurs,"and against MM. Garner, frioes, the pub-
lishers of tho work, by M. B irbaste, wh se name is
mentioned by M. (lran. The damages were laid at
3,000 fr., but the court awarded only 26fr. firm against
each of the defendants, and 5001 r. damegis, to be
paid by them conjointly.
The Patrie reports that the statesmen of the
National, under the inspiration of M. Leopold Lune
(de Limoges), are labouring to form a special meet-
iuq,
to which will be united that of the Aim's de la
Constitution. Armand Nlarrut aspired to preside
over the new conclave of the Rue Lepelletirr, bat the
National has rejected him to confer that honour on
IGeaeral Cavaigne.c. It is aid that many of the tiers-
pa& ,or Left Centre, have refused to form part of
the meeting of the Natinnal. General Lamoriciere
becomes the president of the meetieg of the tiers-port,. I
The roir flu People, which rare 4 misses an coca-
akin to work on the terrors of the men of reaction,
publishes this morning in large type the names of the
committee of the 17 at the head of its number with
this intr.( daction "It is important for France to know
the names of these 17 members of the royalist committee
of public safety, who have governed the country for
two years, and hive just revealed publicly their sinis-
ter power in proposing the violation of the constitu-
tion, and the confiscation of universal suffrage.
The new cry of the democrats is " orbanisation of
refusal to pay the taxes."
Yesterday, the famous chemist Guy-Lussac, peer
of France, expired at the age of 71, after a long
and peieful illness.
