Paris was perfectly tranquil up to the hour of the
departure of th 3 post last evening.
The vlonitear du Sair of Saturday says :—" Our
relations with the states of Central Ameriva have just
been interrupted. Our Consul has quitted Guate-
mala, leaving our countrymen under the pr Itection
of the representative of Great Britain. We are as-
sured that this measure was taken in consequence of
grave insults to the new Government of France, in
which insults the President CARREVA is said to have
been associated."

In the sitting of the National Assembly yesterday,
the discussion on Article 16 of the Constitution was
resumed, and an amendment accepted by the Govern-
ment and the Committee, and adopting the principle
of proportionate taxation, was adopted by a majority
of 644 to 96. Article 17 was adopted without debate,
and the discussion was going on on Article 18 (which
relates to the public authorities) at the time the post
left.

Great excitement was created among the ultra-
democratic party at Lyons by the return of the
moderate candidate. On Thursday a mob of six or
seven hundred individuals in blouses went to the
Prefecture, and summoned the Prefect to appear.
The Prefect having come forward, they demanded
with loud and confused cries the annultnent of the
election of M. RIVET. The Prefect explained that
he had not the power to do what they required—
that the Assembly alone had ; and that they should
petition if they had any proofs of illegality to bring
forward. "Proofs!" cried they, "we don't want
proofs, we are convinced ourselves, and that's
enough ! We have been robbed and tricked, end
will have the election recommenced !" After a good
deal of parleying, haranguing, and vociferation, the
Prefect, fearing that the mob would invade the Pre-
fecture, called out the troops of the post and made
them station before the railing. Subsequently the
mob assembled on the Place des Terreaux, and re-
mained to an advanced hour, bawling the chorus of
the Marseillaise, " Aux armes, citoyens !" &c. A
band paraded the quays, roaring the same words, but
no other disturbance took place. These demonstra-
tions, however, caused great alarm to the peaceable
population.

The following letter, says the; Mouiteur cicc Soir,
has been addressed to the British Consul at Boulogne
by the National Guards who visited E:lgland : •
" onsiur le Consul,—Being unacquained with the
administrative formalities of your country, we take the
liberty of requesting your kind intervention to thank
your fellow-countryint.n ia the name of all our comrades
a,isembled at Boulogne, for the kind care, the gracious
and friendly reception, and the respect and attention
of every kind, of which we were the object
during our too short stay in England. In the impos-
sibilily, Sir, of transmitting to you the names of all
those to whom our sincere thanks arc due, we restrict
oursolves to naming the directors of the, Continental
strainers, and particularly Mr. Herbert, their t;ecretary-
generzA ; the directors of the South Eastern Railroad,
and Mr. Cockerton, their representative et the London
station ; to Superintendents Swan and Easel, and Cap
tains Paul and
sion, to be the interpreter of our sentiments of gratitude
Monger. Be pleased, Sir, on this occa
towards the honourable functionaries by whose delicacy
so many of our fellow-countrymen have profited. It
such conduct,
opportunity of proving, in our turn, to your fellow-coun-
Sir, leaves anything to be desired, it is the
try men, the value that we attach to this into h of sympa-
thy to the French name."

The Minister of the Finances has issued a notice
contradicting a report that the dividends on the
Five per Cents. for the present term were not to be
paid. The Minister says that the payment com-
menced on the 221, and that arrangements have
been made giving additional facilities to the public in
order that the operation may be finished with promp -
titude.

BOURSE.—PARIS, MONDAY, SEPT. 25.
THREE o'CLocx.—The uneasy feeling which pervaded
the Bourse for the last week still continues. To-day there
was hardly any business done, and it was with difficulty
that the Rentes and Shares were sustained. There were
various rumours afloat of Bonapartist conspiracies, but
they were not generally credited. The landing of the
Enrich troops at Venice is also looked npnn as likely
to lead to fresh complications. For the Account, the
French Three per Cents. and Five per Cents. remain at
the prices of Saturday, but quotations are nearly nominal;
the Loan has fallen 25c. For Money, the Three per
Cents. have risen 25e.; .Five per Cents. remain as on
Saturday; while the Loan is sc. lower; Bons du Tresor
