FRANCE.

PARIS. FRIDAY ISTENINO,

I: is agreed on all hands that the a•tempt of the
French o.rliasent to vindica•e i:s offended majesty
by arraigning at its bar the editor of the Poiru•r has
turned outs complete failure. Toe sixech of /41.
Ccir d'Est•Antte disappointed everybody by the
bumiii•y of its flight, and its prudent, demure tone.
11.1 of ject seemed only to get off his client, instead of
arguizg the great point at is,ue, and qtresoisning the
rsrozalive of the Assembly. The greater part of the
Lett shrtained from taking any part in the proofed-
kin; hence the small number of the division.

Tie l'o4coir to-day kisses the rod which has
chastised it, and avows itself in the wrong.
1: is thou4ht that the 3,000 fr. fine will figure in
the %enema, of the Eiyairo. Be that as it may, M.
de Larnarin accompanied the President on both
his late tripe to St. Quentin and Compiegne, althmgh
when in tee quality of chronicler far he paper than
a mo:t c octidential capacity.
Let.zarnier voted yesterday for appl)ing the
maximult ti .e to the Pouroir.
Acc.,e;.cg to the terms of the constitution a law
passed by the Assembly with urgency ought to be
prorau4.ted within, three days after the vote, unless
the Pre,thist of the Republic should in the mean-
time cal. a fresh delib. ration. Now u the press law
was voted on Tuesday evening it ought, sccordiog to
this rids, to have br n promulgated this mornieg.
The 3beittur, however, travelog ro trace of it. This
circumstance was tt.e object of much private com-
ment this afternoon in the Assembly ; arid it was ru-
mound that the President cf the Republic would use
the right with whiei he is armed by the constitution
to send the law back to the Chamber for reemaider-
mica. Bat in that MID the President's message
saga( to he presetted this afternoon. If there is no
menue the pr, eidtnt of the Assembly will be en-
titled to promulgate the law to-morrow.
The publishes the resolution of the
Assent) y relative to its prorogation, which is as
kilos Art. 1. The National Assembly is proro-
gued (run Sunday, August 11. iv M"11134 No ember 11, 1140. Art 2. A committee of twenty-
five umber's shut be appointed by secret

eiscurrenee with the bureau of the Assembly the
obligations prtecrilied by the 3ted article of the Corr
stitution. AO. 3. The powers of the bureau are
prolonged wail the re-opening of the Assembly.

bers who are to form the committee of surveillance
.deriog the purogatim. On the demand of the Right,
and af tr twvieg beard MM. de Nlorney, de Laua.at,
and Chegaray, the home adjourned the ballot till Mom
'day. The third reading of the bill on the agrical-
itural colonies of Algr ria was put off till tremorroW.
,Tura the debate oe the budget was resumed. M.
iblaigne moved an amendment to a chapter Mu
:Uwe ti the pensions of former members of the
prop slag to suppress the grant. This was rejected,
'Ay 370 votes against 170, and the pensions were
peso d. The discussion of the budfet was continued,
lead the bodget of the ministry of justice voted widh-
'ollt any debate of interest. On the budget of fama

ministry with their ea .yugetetu

policy of the government massed to be the same,
and that he hoped that the Reuse people would ewe
have a coostitution which 'mold receacile liberty with
security. M. Napoleon Bosaperte asked what would
become of asrnuschis who we. destined a prisoner at

aissehi was curia; to Fresco
The appeanees of the motion for bellotiug for the
interpar Mesentery committee of 26 on the ordrof
the day was considered today as 6a unfair surprise,
al sauce having bra given. Some sharp remon-
strances were made by the legitimists against this
proceeding of the president.
Tee groups cf the Assembly today were much
taken up with thecomposition of the committee of
25, which is to a etch over parlisineutary jute r. sts
during the prorogation. The great iaterest felt in
this subject, and the weight attached to it, proves
that the intentions of the executive are regarded with
/teat jealousy.
The report of M. Etienne on the budget of the
Assembly for 1831 was distributed yesterday. It is
bid at 7,774,650 r.
The arrival of a Russian ambassador at Path is
spoken of again as a probable and a proximate event:
A cabinet carioca was held this morning at the
Elsie e, and commenced sitting as early as ten dole*.
There was much talk yesterday at .Le National
Assembly of propositions which were said to flaw
been made to three general cfficers, to whom the
poet of aideodocamp to the: resident of the Republic
had been offered. It was stated that two nad
accepted, and one refused the off-r. Among the
firmer was mentioned the name of General Regnanit
de Stint Jean d'Angely. This rumour, which was
pretty generally credited at the Assembly, became
the subject of much comment. Many declared that
they c .uid not comprehend the affair, will, h resem-
bled an attempt at the formation of a mlilary house.
The President of the Rep':blic is interdicted by the
carstitution from commauding troops ; and the
anomaly of his having general Akers for aides-de-
camp would give umbrage to all parties.
Mlle. Caroline Murat, daughter of Prince Lucien
Murat, and niece of the President of the Republic,
has just been married to 31. C. de Chassercn.
A waterspout burst over Orleans on the 16th, in-
flicting much damage on the city.
M. Barbey d'Aurtilly, the author of the article in
the Mode, read by M. Jules Fevre in the Assembly
as a specimen of :he excesses o umitted by the
favoured press, has mat a challenge to his assailant.
The B.urse was much occupied with the report
that the press law would not be prcmulgated by the
President of the Republic. The funds began to s'nk,
but, the falseness of the news being ascertained, the
' &cajole prices exaibited a rise. The Fives dozed at
Mfr. 40c., the Threes at 58fr. 10e.
The metallic metres cf the Bank of France h .6 in-
crossed I million in Paris, but declined 31 millions
io the provinces. The discount acoommodatioa has
incr.acd 31 millions in Paris, and rowdy 21 mil-
lions in the branch banks, the amount of the former
being 49,860,008 fr., and of the latter, 76,242,1881 r.
The protested bills have fallen off about 120,0e0fr. in
Paris, and have increased about 30,0001 r. in the de-
partments, the amount of the former be.ng 328,4721 r.,
and the :atter, 1,362,691 fr. On the bide of the liabi-
lair is, the notes in circulation in Paris have increased
about 41 millions, but declined 2 militate in the de-
partraeLts. The account current of the Treasury has
increased about 11 million, the piesent amount being

47,575,570 fr. Pnvate accounts carreLt in Paris slur;
