We have received the Paris papers of yesterday.
The offic.ial announcement of the returns for Paris
has produce d an immense sensation among persons of
every class. The Reforme is full of exultation. It
thus commences its song of triumph :
" The electcrs of te eine have worthily raised up
the standard c,f the revolution, at one moment covered
by the vote oS ihe 10th of December. Henceforth, the
moral ascends cc; is secured to the Republic, and the
monarchical fa ctions, coalesced by the directors of the
Rue de Poitiers,, remain buried in their numerical vic-
tory purchased at the cost of so much intrigue and
falsehood. Whti.-t sudden conversions! What a change
of attitude! It aTpears, in truth, that we are returned
to the 25th of Fe bruary, 1848.

The Patrie of yesterday evening .says :—" Up to
this afternoon at four o'clock the Government had
received, by telegraph or by mail, accounts of the
elections in the departments, which give the follow-
ing results :—Moderates 450, Opposition Democratic
Ssecialists, 179, doubtful 98."
The Ministers suffered some serious defeats on
Saturday in the National Assembly. The Bill intro-
duced by M. LEON FAUCHEIt for the continuance to
General CHANGARNIER of the double command of
the garrison and of the National Guards of Paris,
c ime on for discussion. The Ministers wished the
discussion to be postponed, but on a division the
motion for postponement was rejected by a majority
of 294 to 254. The discussion was then continued.
M. ODILON BARROT warmly supported the Bill,
which was as warmly attacked by M. GREVT. On a
division the Ministers were defeated, the numbers
being—

General LE BRETON, one of the questors, then
proposed that the Assembly should adjourn till
Thursday, in order that the hall should undergo some
necessary repairs. M. FLOCON opposed an adjourn-
ment at a moment when an armed Revolution was at
the gates of Strasburg, and when Russia was march-
ing into Austria. .M. LE BRETON'S motion was
rejected by a large majority, and the Assembly
adjourned to Monday.
A Cabinet Council was held on Saturday night, at
which many of the members recommended resistance
to the decision of the Assembly, the continuance of
General CHANGARNIER in the command, and the dis-
solution of the Assembly by armed force. In the
face, however, of the votes of the army, as recorded,
was felt that, perchance, the " engineer" might
" hoist with his own petard," and accordingly more
moderate councils prevailed ; and in the Moniteur of
Sunday appeared an announcement that the General
of Brigade PERROT is appointed ad interim Comman-
der-in-Chief of the National Guards of the Seine.
General CHANGARNIER retains the command of the
troops of all arms stationed in the first military
divisors.

terday, to bid them adieu. In doing so he made them
a speech, intimating that the separation would pro- ,
bably be temporary and of short endurance. It ap-
pears from this that there is an intention of bringing
forward a proposition in the new Assembly for the
maintenance of the double command in his hands.
He passed a high eulogium on General PERROT, so

Th• Ministry is in the agonies of dissolution.
Marshal BUGEAUD arrived in Paris yesterday, and
will be, it is said, charged with the formation of a
Ministry preparatory to a coup d'etat for the destruc-
tion of the Republic. He will have all his subordi-
nate Ministers military men. Should such a
Ministry be appointed, we may expect to see LOUIS

Several of his best friends have urged Lotus NAPO..
LEON to send for M. DUFAURE, but he refuses to do
so. General LAMORICIERE and General CATAIGNAC
have both been sounded, but they refuse to join either
a BUGEAUD or a coalition Ministry, although they
will join any Ministry of which M. n
UFAURE shall
be the chief.
U. DE LESSEPS arrived at Civita Vecchia on
the 14th.
La Patric announces " on authority" that a report
current in Paris on Friday and Saturday, relative to
insurrections in Lyons and Strasburg, is totally un-
founded.
Le Credit adds, that letters had been received from
Lyons confirming the statement of La Patrie, and
that the report of an insurrection at Strasburg on
ginated in the sympathy loudly expressed by the
troops of the garrison of Strasburg for the Republican
insurgents on the opposite bank of the Rhine, and
that the Government, informed of this fact, had
dispatched General BOUGENET to Strasburg in all
haste.
La Presse announces the departure of M. DE
FERRIERES for Vienna on Friday last, with dispatches
of importance.
The following are the returns of the Bank for last
week : Specie has increased in the capital by
2,500,000 f., and decreased to the same extent in the

nearly 3,000,000 f. in Paris, and 1,500,000 f. in the

much vary. The Bank-notes in
