THE FRENCH REPUBLIC,

We have received the Paris journals of yesterday.
The members of the Legislative Body met on Wed-
nasday in their bureaux, to terminate the nomination of
the Committee, on the sumptuary Bills lately presented.
The Committee consists of the following members:—The
Duke ci'lJzes, the Duke d'Albuf&a, Baron de Bussieres,
Baron de Ravinel, M. Ansel, M. Sallez-Claparele, M.
Boissy d'Anglas, Count Frederic de Lagrange, and M.
Desmaroux de Gaulmin, M. FavArt, M. Pongerard, M.
Schneider, M. de Kergorlay, and M. de Ladoucette. Of
these gentlemen, the first nine are opposed to the mea-
sures in tote; M. Favart is opposed to the Bill increasing
the duty on the transfer of real property, whilst only
the last four have signified their intention of supponting
the Bills. A second Committee was also nominated,
namely, on the Bill relative to the re-election of the
councils-general, the municipal councils, and the coun-
cils of arrondissement.

The. Siecle dwells upon the cruel hardships which the
proposed taxes on paper will add to the already over-
burdened and depressed daily journal. The papers on
which stamp duty has lately been doubled, and whose
interest has been almost lost by the restrictions imposed
on the pens of writers, will now have to endure an addi-
tional fiscal burden, which, in many cases, will be:the
last straw that breaks the back of the camel. It calcu-
lates that the tax will add nearly three-and-a-half francs
to the journal supplied to the subscriber, without count-
ing loss on prows and waste, and the duty on the dif-
ferent other sorts of paper consumed in the establish-
ment. All the trades into which paper enters will suffer
more 'or less, and yet the gain to the revenue will be
paltry. The respectable booksellers are preparing re-
monstrances against this impost.
According to the Pays there Will be an extraordinary
session, of a few days' length, to enable the Corps Legis-
latff to pass bills prepared by committees, amongst
which there will be some railway bills. The line to
Cherbourg will, it, is believed, be brought again on the
tapig. • -
The release of ABD•EL-KA.DER is thought to be about
to take place. On Wednesday the chief of the State
had, it is said, an interview with the Commandant of the
Chateau d'Amboise, who, it was said, was taken to the
Elycez by the General ST. ARNAUD, Minister of War,
on the eve of the departure of the latter.
The Patrie says:—

"We have learned a fact which shows the popularity of
the Prince President among the working classes. It is known
that the miners of Rive-de-tier left off work some days ago,
in consequence of a dispute with their employers about
wages. It is now announced that they are getting up a sub-
scription to send delegates to Paris, to submit the case to the
Prince President, and take him for arbitrator."
There was a further rise in the price of public securities
at the Bourse. The Four-and ,a- Half per Cents. opened at
100 f. 65c., and closed at the same price for the end of
the month ; the Three per Cents. closed at 70f. 5e.;
