between debtor and creditor. The Bill, it should be
observed, among other advantages, involves a saving
of more than 12 0001. aye ;r. When economy is so
much pressed upon the Government, such a measure
should not be neglected. There cannot be two opinions
as to the great value of this measure. It is not a
party question, but one involving the character and
the property of the commercial community in this
kingdom.

1111 E FRENCB REPUBLIC.

TRANQUILLITY RESTORED.

The Paris journals of yesterday, besides giving
particulars of the insurrectionary movement, contain
full accounts of its suppression and of the complete
restoration of tranquillity.
Even as early as Wednesday evening Paris bad
resumed its usual appearance. Traffic was unim-
peded ; cafés, restaurants, and several shops, were
re-opened, and the usual promenaders thronged the
Boulevards.

Until ten or eleven o'clock, the troops and Na-
tional Guards occupied
.the streets and squares;
but notwithstanding there was no attempt throughout
the night at any further disturbance.

The result of the discussion in the bureaux of the
Legislative Assembly was as might have been ex-
pected. The report of the Committee being brought
up at half-past five o'clock, the debate was resumed
upon the Bill, the introduction of which we announced
in our Third Edition of last evening.
Ultimately the Assembly decided by a majority of
394 to 82 that the decree was carried. This decree
places Paris and the first military division in a state of
siege—the application of the state of siege to the
first military division, implying that the six following
Departments are comprehended in this measure :

1. The Seine.
2. Seine et Oise.
3. Loiret, Loir et Cher, and Eure et Loir.
4. Seine et Marne.
5. Seine Inferieure et Eure.
6. Yonne et Aube.
M. ODILON BARROT announced that he would
bring forward other measures at the next sitting.

During the course of the discussion General CA..
VAIGNAC spoke strongly against the Mountain, and
declared that although he differed in opinion from the
Ministry, he was ready to die for the cause of order
and society. This declaration, coming from so true
and honest a Republican, is identical with the cry of
the pcpnbition throughout the insurrectionary move-
ment —E Ordre surtout

On the Ministerial decree being passed, the
PRESIDENT then informed the Assembly that M.
SUCHET DU VAR had been arrested, and demanded
whether the arrest would be authorised by the
Assembly. He and other members of the Mountain
had held a meeting at the Conservatoire des Arts at
Metiers, and had gone to invite the National Guard
to join them. After some discussion, M. NAPOLEON
BONAPARTE proposed that M. SUCHET DU VAR should
be heard in the Assembly. This was rejected by 328
votes to 87. The Assembly then adjourned, at nine
o'clock, till ten to continue the discussion on the arrest
of M. SUCHET DU VAR. The sitting was resumed at
half-past ten o'clock, when the arrest of M. SUCHET
was authorised, as also that of Messrs DEVILLE,
MARONE, DAMILE, PILLIS, BACH, VAUTIER, and
FARGUIER FAYOLLE, representatives, who had been
arrested. A report was then read by M. LACROSSH
from General CUANGARNIER, giving a favourable ac-
count of the state of the capital, after which the As-
sembly adjourned to ten o'clock this day.
At this meeting of the Mountain M. LEDRU ROL-
LIN is positively said to have been present, but, with
Sergeants BoIcHOT and RATTIER, he escaped.
When the eight representatives above-mentioned
were arrested and conducted to the Assembly, they
were greeted by the soldiers on guard with cries of
" A bas les Rouges !"
As we partially stated last night, M. ETIENNE
ARAGO and M. FORRESTIER, with two other Colonels
of the National Guard, have been arrested; so also,
it is asserted, has M. FELIX PYAT.
There were likewise rumours (to which little
credit was attached) that arrests were to be made of
M. LEDRU ROLLIN and his two non-commissioned
military Aides- de- Camp.
The Moniteur of Thursday morning publishes the
decree of the Legislative Assembly, declaring Paris
and the first military division in a state of siege. It
publishes a decree of the PRESIDENT of the Republic
dissolving the Artillery Legion of the National Guard
of Paris. It also publishes a proclamation from the
Legislative Assembly to the French people, and an
address from the PRESIDENT of the Republic to the
nation. The decree of the permanence of the Legis-
lative Assembly was posted up in the streets on
Wednesday evening.
The subjoined is the bold Proclamation of the
PRESIDENT of the Republic :

" THE PRESIDENT OF THE REPUBLIC TO
THE FRENCH PEOPLE.

" Some factions persons dare once more to raise the
standard of revolt against a legitimate Government, for
it is a Government produced by universal suffrage.
" They ac,uie me of having violated the Constitution;
me, who, for six months, have borne tranquilly their in
sults, their calumnies, and their provocations.

" The majority of the Assembly is itself the object of
their outrages.

" The accusation of which I sm the object is but a
pretext, and the proof is, that those who now attack me
pursued me before with the same hatred and the same
injustice when the people of Paris nominated me their
representative, and the people of France made me Presi.
dent of the Republic.
" The system of agitation keeps the country in a state
of uneasiness and distrust, which engenders misery.
" This must cease. It is time that the good should be
re-assured, and the wiekrd made to tremble.

"The ft-public has no more implacable enemies than
those men who, perpetuating disorder, force us to turn
France into a camp, and divert our plans of amelioration
and progress into preparations for combat and defence.
" Elected by the nation, the cause which I defend is
your own. It is that of your families, your properties--
that of the poor as well as of the rich—that of civiliza-
tion itself.
" I will not shrink from anything to make this cause
triumph. " L01:38 NAPOLEON BONAPARTE.
" Paris, June 13, 1849."

The next document in importance is the Procla-
mation from the Legislative Assembly to the French
people. It runs as follows :
" Citizens, National Guards, and Soldiers,—The Re-
public and society are threatened.
" The sovereignty of the people is odiously misunder-
stood by a factious minority, who make an appeal to
arms, and who by an impious war, comprises afresh both
public peace and the reviving prosperity of the country.
" The Legislative Assembly if sure of the national
will, will energetically fulfil the duties which are im-
posed or. it under these serious circumstances. It is to it
that belongs to speak in the name of the people which
has placed its sovereign mandate in its hands.
" Guardians of the Republic and of the Constitution,
which are the inviolable guarantees of society and of
threatened order, the national representatives will de-
fend to their death, against a criminal insurrection, the
Constitution and the Republic. which are thus attacked.
" Citizens, rally round your representatives, the re-
presentatives of the French people! It is in your union
with them, with the President of the Republic, with our
brave and faithful army. it is in our unanimous concord
that lies our common safety. Citizens, National Guards,
and soldiers, in the name of the country, in the name of
honour, of justice, and of the laws, the Legislative As.
sembly calls on you solemnly to come to the defence of
the Republic, of the Constitution, and of society.
Vive la Ripublique.' "
(Signed by the President and Members of the Bureau
of the National Assembly.)

General CHANGARNIER, who has been re-appointed
to the united command of the National Guard and
the army, has issued the following address to those
placed under his command. The address is interest
ing as giving a rapid sketch of the attempt at an out-
break : _ _ _

" National Guards and Soldiers,—By a decree of the
President of the Republic, dated at half-past eleven
o'clock this morning, I am invested with the command-
in-chief of the National Guards of the Seine and of the
troops of the first military division. The relations which
this decree establishes between us are not new, and we
have already been able to show what may be expected
from the reciprocal sentiment of confidence which exists
between us.

which, however, wounded no one. The column which
went to the right found three barricades commenced, the
one opposite the Caf6 de Parii, the other before the
Passage de l'Opera, and the tbird at the entrance of the
Faubourg Poissonniere, from which some shots were fired.
These barricades did not, however, stop our march,
which continued to the Madeleine on the one side, and
to the Porte St. Denis on the other, where the assem-
blages were completely dispersed.
"The ardour of the troops and of the National
Guard, who united with them on their march, is indis-
cribable; it could wily be equalled by the grateful en-
thusiasm of the well-disposed part of the people, who
look to you, National Guards and soldiers, for their
safety, and for the hope of again living under the laws
of a civilized people.
