FRANCE.

PARIS, FAIDAT ETZSINO.
The Owseire reported this morning that the quar-
rel with England was definitively made up, and that
IL Drawl de Maps would return to England to-
Wierrele to resume his functions as ambassador. Having
rifted the authenticity of this statement in a well-in-
formed quarter, I And no foundation for it. Up to
this afterneou I have reason to believe that nothing
had been settled. But two Queen's messengers bad
arrived from Ragland within a few hours of each
other which shows that the most active; exertions
afw main to brieg the negotiation to a close.
The dotatiou bill le expected to come before the
buena: either to-morrow or on Monday.
The Ctusdifiitiersisel contains a long article in sup-
port of the bill, the main argument of which rests
upon the depreciation of funded property, and the
stoppage of the Mon mint of recovery of industry and
commerce from its peat depression, which would re-
sult from the rejection of the bill. It says:
The recent elections of Paris caused a decline of nearly
10 fr. in the public funds—the act of courage aectraplished
by the two powers imprinted on thus a movement of pro.
eressioa u rapid as their decline had been. Well! sop-
' Flume, what unapt be admitted, that the bill will he
rejected, it would he a triumph for communism and an alarm
for all France. Publie wealth would lose all the ground it
has gained. Ten franca decline would represent on the
capital pieced is the funds of the state • sum of 500,000,0001 r.
The laud would undergo as equal lose—the amount would
have to be counted by milliards. Then there would be the
depreciation of personal capital—more milliards. Money
would become beyond price, or be masted. Manufaetures
would be stopped. Work would cease. It is not then a sum
of 2,000,000 fr. which the rejection of law would cost to the
country. The univereel disquietude which such a remit
would cane" would lead to a universal depreciation amount-
ing to milliards.

The same journal tot only advocates with
zeal the proposition of General °remount for the re-
moval of the seat of government to Versailles, bat
insists upon the duty of placing out of the reach of
the factions, the treasurers of art, science, literature,
and civilisation at present accumulated within the
walls of the mutinous espitaL
In the Assembly to-day the debate opened on the
third reading of the Transportation BilL M.
Leaner designated the bill as the continuance
of a system of provocation. The majority
wanted to hunt down the republic. (Interrup-
tion and laughter.) It would be incomprehensible
to posterity how a government, hatched from the
blood of the combaiants of February, • govern-
ment issued on the 10th of December from universal
sulker, and charged by six millions of citizens with
the mission of making good laws, c iuld tear the act
of its baptism. Sinai the pretended conspiracy of
January 29, how many provocations had been wee-
' mulated ? Bad passions had flown abroad on the
wing■ of the telegraph. (Laughter.) France de-
based at home and insulted abroad. Hungary aban-
doned. (Noise.) Rome bombarded. (Fresh interrup-
tion.) Tina rev. fathers reviving the inqaisition. Pro-
vocation always and everywhere. Trees of liberty cut
down ; the tombs of the soldiers of July and February
profaned ; 600 citizens transported without judgment;
the schools locked up, and the keys given to the Je-
suits; soldiers prosecuted for voting according to their
consciences; ant on the morrow of the murder of
noi 1 suffrage—(loud cries of " Order ! order !")
its corpse had been disinterred to strip it of the right
of petition. (Noise.) They bad audaciously—(Order!
order !)—set their seals on the electoral meetings.
Tne orphans and widows of the victims of February
were Ecrved, while they paid the wages of the viola-
lation of the sovereignty of the people. Here
an altercation commenced and went on between the
speaker and the prepident, who called him to order
twice. The Assembly expressed, by frequent bursts
of laughter, its amusement at the hits given and re-
ceived, while M. Lagrange grew more violent in pro-
portion to the admonitions he received, and the pre-
sident more tart and smart in his repartees. When
quiet was restored, M. Theriot de la Heinere said
tnat the party of disorder must be attacked with
uncompromising vigour. Louis Philippe had
fallen by an attempt to come to an unlit ntanding with
them. The majority, if it did not with to peas over
to the opinions of M. de Flotte, most take the initia-
tive, the offensive. M. de Fluke said they might talk
of war if the pleased, but let them not talk of right
and justice. They were the majority, the strong;
they might make laws, and he would obey them—
the people would obey them; but the minority claimed
the privilege of appealing to history, to the future, to
opinion. The law was equally opposed to religion
and morals, and they had no right to quote either in
its support. The majority did not understand the
position of representatives. They set themselves up
fir tutors of the people, while they were only there to
do the people's wilL (Noise on the Right.)
The general discussion was then closed, and the
house passed to the discussion of the separate articles.
After the rejection of several amendments, the
three first articles of the law were adopted in the
same form as on the ',coed deliberation. Articles 4
and 5 designate the valley of Waithau and the isle of
Nonkahiva u the places of transportation. M. Du-
pont du Bussac moved that the places shuld be left
to be named in an ulterior law. He entered into de-
tails to prove that Waithau and Nonkahiva were de-
sert and uninhabitable.

This amendment was rejected, and all the articles
voted by a large majority, except that relative to the
retroactivity, which is deferred till to-morrow.

M. Dupont de Bonne has demanded to question the
Minister of Foreign Affairs upon the relations with
Engl►nd.

The -trembly rejected tl•;$ proposition, by refer-
ring the interpellation for a month, which is equiva-
lent to its rejection.

The procurear of the republic yesterday caused to
be seised at the Post-offim and in its offices, the
weekly journal the Fueille de Peeiple, on account of a
leading article on the sew Electoral Law. The re-
spoomible editor is to be prosecuted on the charge of
attacking the rights and authority of the National
Assembly, and of exciting the disobedieuce of the
laws.

The prefect of the Haute-Vienne has imuid • pro-
clamation declaring, as the reading of journals aloud
in factories and workshops convert these latter in •
manner, into clubs, and prevent work, such reading is
interdicted in that department.
To-day there was a splendid review in the Champ
de Mars. Tue President was there with a brilliant
staff. The infantry ran past at the gymnastic pace,
as it is called; the cavalry and artillery pamei at a
swift trot. The regiment of carabineers, with its
gorgeous equipments and armour, made a great show.

The metallic reserve of the Bank of France this
week has increased in Paris about half a million, and
in the departments 11 millions. The discount-seam-
modation has fallen off 7} millions in Pans, and about
a quarter of a million in the departments, the amount
of the former being 35,392,537 tr., and of the latter,
86,285,527 fr. The protested bills have decreased
about 25,000 fr. in Paris, and about B,ooofr. in the
provinces, the amount of the former being 880,705 fr.,
and of the latter 1,355,317 fr. On the side of the lia-
bilities, the notes in circulation have fallen off 3 mil-
lions in Pans, remaining about as they were in the
departments. The account-current of the treasury has
increased 31 millions, being at present 44,055,257,r.
Private accounts current have fallen off 71 millions
in Paris, and increased nearly 1 million in the coun-
try, the amount of the former being 88,9439,899 fr.,
and of the latter 29,299,068(r. The whole amount
of the metallic reserve is now 4721 millions to 4911
millions of notes in circulation.

The Five per Cents. rose this morning in the Pas-
sage of the Opera to 94fr. 850.; but at the Parquet
they opened at 94fr. 800., at which price they were
offered throughout the Bourse. They closed at
94fr. 20c. at the Parquet, and at 94fr. 25tr. in the
Confine, a fall of 45c. on yesterday's prices. The
Three per Cents. closed (coupon detached) at 58fr.800.
