We have received the Paris papers of yesterday.

Everything remained perfectly tranquil in Paris,
and the Ministers were employed in the duties of
administration. The Minister of War is making
arrangements for the relief of the National Guards of
Paris from their onerous duties, by the recalling of
the regular troops, and the Minister of the Interior
in preparing for the elections. The Presse, in the
course of a long article on the subject of the elections,
highly disapproves of the proposed allowance of 25f.
per day to be made to each Deputy.
The ilfoniteur contains a decree of the Provisional
Government, which raises to 5 per cent. the interests
on deposits in the savings' banks. " This measure is
one of justice," says the decree ; "the small capitalist
ought to be placed on an equality with his richer
contemporary. Already the interest on Treasury
bonds has been raked to 5 per cent. Why should
not that upon the smaller obligations of the State be
fixed at an equal figure, and thus tend to the welfare
of the industrious classes, the produce of whose
economies constitute the principal portion of the
funds of the savings' banks ?"

It also publishes a decree of the Provisional Go-
vernment instituting in the manufacturing and com-
mercial towns national banks of discount, the capital
of which is to be composed—one-tlaird of money sub
scribed by the associates, one-third of city bonds, and
the other of Treasury bonds.

another decree institutes a national bank of dis•
count in Paris, with a capital of 20,000,000 f. The
merchants of that capital had subscribed one-third of
that sum ; the city of Paris was to issue bonds to the
amount of the second third, and the Government
Treasury bonds for the other.
A third decree places the savings' banks under the
guarantee of national loyalty, and raises the interest
to be paid by the State on the investments to five per
cent. from the 10th of March next.

On Tuesday the Archbishop of PARIS, accom-
panied by two Vicars. General, attended at the Hotel
de Ville, and gave in his adhesion to the Provisional
Government in the name of the entire clergy of the
diocese. M. Durowr DE L'EuRE, President of the
Government, thus replied to the prelate :

" The Provisional Government receives with the
liveliest satisfaction your adhesion to the Government
of the Republic. Liberty and religion are two
sisters, equally interested to live on good terms with
each other. We rely on your co-operation and on
that of tile clerg3 , you may rely on the sentiments
of benevolence of the Provisional Government."

The news of the French Revolution reached

and-a-Half, and Four per Cents., commenced in

The Siècle gives the following description of the
manner in which the votes are to be taken at the
approaching elections :
" The electoral rights of citizens are attested by
the register of the name. Every elector should,
therefore, present himself at the mayory of his
arrondissement or commune, in order to have his
name inacribed. The only document he will have
to produce will be the register of his birth. On
receiving this document, the Mayor will deliver to
him a bulletin of inscription, signed by him, and
containing the name, profession, age, and residence of
the citizen.

" These bulletins delivered by the Mayor, will be
sent by him to the chef lieu of the canton, and by
the assistance of which the lists of electors will be
drawn up. It is useless to add that these lists will
be made generally public; so that each citizen may
have the power of causing to be erased any indivi-
duals who are rendered incompetent by Art. 6 of the
decree.

"When these lists are drawn out, individual cards
made from them will, a few days before the elections,
be deposited at the mayory and placed at the disposal
of each elector.

" This card will give the right of admission to
the citiaen to his section.

" The difficulties which might arise in populous
districts will be got over in the following manner :
"The general list of the Department of the Seine
will be divided into approximative sections of 500
electors; so that the electors circumscribed within a
narrow extent, will vote together at the place of
meeting of their section, which will be pointed out
on the card delivered to the elector.

_
" Every one will then inscribe his name on the
bulletin which will be delivered to him, as many
names of candidates as there are to be deputies for
the department.
"Those who cannot write must, as in other official
documents, have their mark attested by two wit-
nesses.

" In each section a proces verbal shall be drawn up
of the number of votes, which will be transmitted to
to the chef lieu cf the department, when the definitive
amount of the voting will be made up.
" The members of the National Assembly will be
elected according to a majority of votes, the minimum
number must exceed 2,000."

ANNETTE MEYERS.—We are informed that a peti-
tion has been adoptod at the Stock Exchange, praying
her Majesty to grant a commutation of the sentence
passed upon this unfortunate woman. The Stock Ex-
hange does not often interfere in cases of this kind, but
the sympathy expressed in behalf of Annette Meyers
was very general, and confident hopes are entertained
that the appeal in her behalf will be successful
