TUESDAY EVENING, JULY 11, 1848.

tion of all kinds was used; black flags were placed at the
windows, the effigies of the landlords were hung at the
door, and even threats of death put forth, and the flags
and illuminations employed as signs of rejoicing became
the means of forcing the landlords to abandon their
rights.
"If this state of things were to continue, property
would become annihilated. Many of the landlords
would be unable to meet their engagements, to pay their
taxes, or to provide for their families. A general de-
preciation of property would thus take place, which
would involve both landlord and tenant in the same ruin
and misery, and condemn them both to the direst want.
"Such Cannot certainly be the intention of honourable
and patriotic citizens. They have taken up arms in the
ranks of the National Guards, when on the 16th April
Paris reduced to nothing ahandful of factious men to the
cry of 'A Las le Communisme !' and they fought in the
terrible days of June those ferocious insurgents who, had
they have gained the mastery, would have decreed pil-
lage, and annihilated property."
On Saturday the report of General OuDisoT, in the
name of the War Committee, was distributed to the
Representatives. The report proposes that the effec-
tive force of the army in Paris and the environs shall,
from the 20th of this month, and until otherwise
ordered, be 50,000 men at least, and that they shall
be so placed as to be able to be concentrated in Paris
in less than a day's march. The Committee does not
fix any period during which this force is to be main-
tained, but makes it dependent on the general inte-
rests of the Republic and the decisions of the As-
sembly. From returns presented by the Minister of
War, it appears that sixty-three battalions of in-
fantry, forming an effective force of 47,250 men, can
be brought to Paris or the environs, as also fifty-two
squadrons of cavalry, consisting of 6,000 men,
in all 53,250 men, without including the special of
sedentary corps of artillery, engineers, gendarmerie,
and veterans, and the battalions of the garde mobile,
amounting to 15,000 men. At present, the total
number of troops in Paris and the vicinity is 45,000.
The journal of the Abbe DE LAMENNAIS (the People
Constituant), and that of M. PRUDIION (the I?epre-
sentant du People) have been suppressed by an order
of General CAVAIGNAC.
The project for imposing a heavy legacy duty on
successions was yesterday considered in the bureaux
of the Assembly. In most of the bureaux the Mem-
bers declared themselves against the measure.
The heart of General N EGRIER was yesterday trans-
ferred from the Hotel de Ville to the Hotel des In-
valides, in the vaults of which it is deposited. A
great many general officers, and a large body of
National Guards and troops of the line, attended, as
well as a deputation from the Assembly, and most
of the members of the Government and other public
authorities. The vase containing the heart was re-
ceived at the Hotel des Invalides by Marshal OUDI-
NOT, and deposited by him in the vaults along with
the remains of a great number of the greatest war-
riors of France.
The National Assembly met yesterday at a
quarter past two.
The President read a letter from the Committee of
Inquiry appointed to examine into the circumstances
connected with the late insurrection, stating that as M.
Landrin, one of the Members, considered that he might
be called on to appear as a witness relative to the events
which had preceded that crisis, thought it advisable to
give in his resignation. The Committee fully appre-
ciated the delicacy of sentiment which had prompted
this conduct, and had to express their regret at being
deprived of the co-operation of their colleague. " The
National Assembly will now," said the Hon. President,
" have to decide whether it will be advisable to replace
M. Landrin or not. The Committee have been sitting
for a fortnight, and perhaps it may not be unattended
with inconvenience to now introduce another person
amongst the Members who has not been present at all
the proceedings. What does the Assembly decide?"
It was decided that no person should be appointed in
M. Landrin's place.
The President—l have also the melancholy duty to
inform the Chamber that I have received a letter from
the testamentary executor of General Duvivier, inform-
ing me that that distinguished officer had expired on
Saturday morning at half-past four o'clock. His last
thought was given to France, which he always loved so
well, and for which at last he gave his life. I think the
Assembly will agree with me in the propriety of sending
to the funeral of our deceased colleague a grand deputa-
tion of fifty Members.—(Cries of " Yes, yes.")
The names of fifty representatives were then selected
by lot.
The President had also to state, that on Saturday he
and several of the Vice-Presidents, accompanied by the
Bishop of Orleans, one of the representatives, had visited
the civil and military hospitals in the name of the
National Assembly. They had found that 1,500 patients
still remain in these establishments.—(Sensation.) " We
beheld," said the Honourable President, "much suffering
in the course of our said tour ; but we also perceived
marks of the greatest resignation. As much as the pa-
tients manifested courage and resolution in the late con-
flict, so much do they now exhibit calm and patience in
their hour of suffering. We everywhere assured them
of the sentiments of interest which actuate the National
Assembly with respect to them, and in all cases our
words were received with every mark of gratitude. We
also heard on every side the strongest declamations in
favour of order and liberty.—(gear, hear.) I cannot
conclude without paying a proper tribute to the devoted-
ness nsisifested by the medical men, the dressers, the
sisters of charity—in fact, all the persons engaged in
affording the necessary cares to the patients. Intelli-
gence has been received as to the state of our colleagues
Bixio and Dorns. The wound of the former is making
but slow progress, but strong hopes are entertained of
his eventual cure ; as to Domes, he is going on satis-
factorily. I have also to say that General Bedeau is in
a way of cure, and that he will appear amongst us be-
fore long."—(Marks of satisfaction.)
A Representative—l can state that the accounts from
the hospital of the Val de Grace state that General Da-
mesme, though still suffering from fever, is going on
favourably.—(Hear, hear.)
The order of the day was the discussion on the Bill to
encourage the voluntary engagement in the army of
young men of from seventeen to twenty years of age.
The only point of interest was a declaration from
M. Senard, Minister of the Interior, who stated that
the object of the Bill being to furnish to the young men
in national workshops a means of provision for the future,
he thought it right to say that though these establish-
ments were dissolved, the same necessity still existed for
the adoption of the Bill.
The Bill was then adopted.

The Assembly next adopted without opposition the
Bill demanding a credit of 500,000 f. for hospitals and
other charitable institutions.

The Bill, according a pension of 250 f. a year to such
of the Guard Mobile as had been decorated for their gal-
lant conduct during the late insurrection; was also
adopted, without remark.
The Bill demanding 500,000 f. for the service of tho
secret police was next brought forward.
The Minister of the Interior wished to observe that

the credit demanded was evidently not sufficient, parti-
cularly after the deplorable events which had lately taken
place. The Government, however, thought it better
not to demand any larger sum at present. When the
credit now granted was exhausted, the Government
could again come and demand funds from the Assembly.
As to the additional article proposed by the Committee,
that a Special Commission should have the power of
examining how the funds were expended, the Govern-
ment accepted it fully.
M. Creton observed that it was most essential that the
adoption of the Bill now under examination ought not to
be considered as drawing a sponge over the accounts of
the Provisional and Executive Governments. Such an
act would not be worthy of the attention which the As-
sembly ought to pay to everything relating to the ex-
penditure of funds, nor would it be just towards the
Governments which had directed the affairs of the coun-
try up to the late insurrection. Ho trusted light would
be thrown on this matter.

M. Garnier Pagi,s observed that undoubtedly the As-
sembly had a right to inquire into and verify all accounts
connected with the Government. He had, when before
the Finance Committee, demanded whether it would not
be its pleasure to have a full and detailed account
brought before it of the expenses of the Government,
from Februrry 24; the Committee had considered such a
course advisable, and had ordered the accounts to be
sent in. He would say that the Executive Committee,
far from having any objection to that course, on the
Contrary, were most anxious to have a full statement
laid before the Assembly.—(Hear, hear.)
M. Pagnerre observed that the accounts would be all
ready to be presented in a few days.
The Bill was then adopted.
The next order of the day was the discussion on the
Bill to regulate the service of the short-hand writers
employed to take down the discussions of the Assembly,
but on the proposition of a Representative to postpone it
until the budget of the Assembly was fixed, the discus-
sion was deferred.
The Assembly then resolved itself into a Secret Com-
mittee, to consider the budget of the Chamber.
The public tribunes were cleared at four o'clock. it
being understood that the public: sitting was over for the
day.
It was rumoured yesterday in the National Assem-
bly that M. ARMAND MARRAST had resigned the office
of Mayor of Paris.

The Orleans Railway Company intends to contract
a loan of ten millions of francs.

BOURSE—PARIS, JULY 10.
THREE o'CLocx.—There was a stormy reaction at
the Bourse to-day, which may be attributed principally
to the too rapid rise of last week. There is no doubt,
however, that it was partly occasioned by the uneasiness
now felt as to the designs of the Communists, who are
said to be preparing a new movement. The Bank of
France fell no less than 150 f., the returns published
yesterday being more unfavourable than was expected.
For the account, the French Three per Cents. have
fallen 2f. 50e.; Five per Cents. have fallen lf. 75c. For
money, the Three per Cents. have fallen 2f. 25c.; Five
per Cents. have fallen 2f.; Bons du Trosor are at 14f.1
die.; Bank of France Shares have fallen 150 f.; Belgian
Bank Shares are not quoted; Belgian Two-and-a-Half
per Cents., not quoted; Roman has fallen l per cent.;
Rothschild's Receipts have fallen per cent. Railway
Shares for the account, settling of July 13, have fallen
30f.; Marseilles, 11f. 25c.; Northern, 21f. 50c.; Lyons,

2F. 50c. The others are not quoted. For Money the
Orleans have fallen OF.; Rouens, 30f.; Ilavres, 301.;
and the others in the same proportion.

AUSTRIA.

The expectations of the peace with Italy, which
wore for a moment entertained at Vienna, have dis-
appeared. Austria endeavoured to impose upon Ger-
many a debt of 250,000,0001., and to retain the Vene-
tian provinces. Not only have these proposals been
rejected, but CHARLES ALBERT intends to comprise
the Italian Tyrol in his kingdom.

of but little consequence. The very same informa-
tion is contained in another letter, written by an-
other of the prisoners to his brother. We must how-
ever observe that it is not the fault of General
WRANGEL.

We refused to regard the Schleswig prisoners
as insurgents, which the Danes insisted upon in
the terms of exchange.
These minute details of the actual state of things
are most carefully kept from the prisoners, and it would
appear that even the Ministers do not hesitate to give
a false colouring to facts in order to excite the hatred
and indignation of the Schleswigers against their
lawful authorities.

HADERSLEBEN, JULY 4.—The general in command
arrived here yesterday from Christianfeldt, and it is
inferred that he will establish his head-quarters at this
place. The north is garrisoned and protected. Ge-
neral BONIN is established in Christianfeldt, Prince
FREDERICK in Wogensguard, and further west the
frontiers are patrolled by the outposts. No one anti-
cipated so speedy a retreat of the enemy, considering
that the place is calculated for defence even against a
superior force. The armies, however, are now about
equal, being from 16,000 to 20,000 men. General
WRANGEL appeared in the Schleswig-Holstein camp
a few days since, and heartily thanked the Prince
for his late able conduct of the troops as well as for
his admirable bearing. Our men are in high spirits,
and if it should come again to an encounter would
certainly fight the Danes most manfully.
A speedy cessation of the war is generally expected
here. GOD grant that it may be concluded without
a sacrifice either of the country or of the people.
Should the Danes again occupy the finest part of the
country the emigration of the greater part of the in-
habitants would immediately take place, for they
would recognise in such a proceeding the germs of a
new war.
