official notification in relation to the rumoured strike
of the French workmen on the Boulogne Railway :-
1
"It having been rumoured that the engineers on the
Boulogne and Amiens Railway intended to strike in con-
sequence of the directors refusing to discharge the Eng-
lish engineers in their employ, we are happy to announce
that those fears have not been realised, and that the in-
tended strike has, at least, been postponed. 'We can,
besides, assure the public that precautions have been
taken by the company to prevent any interruption to
the service of the line under any circumstances."
The Moniteur publishes the acceptance by the
Minister of the resignation, by M. JULES PAYEE, of
the office of Under- Secretary,of State. This seems to
give a sort of contradiction to the rumour that the
members of the Executive Committee had resigned.
" Those who have resigned," says the Constitutionnel,
"do not accept resignations." It is, however,
understood that, had M. GARNIER PAGES been de-
feated in his motion for giving precedency to the
railway debate, which was only carried by 387 to
362, he would have resigned, and that his resignation
would have been followed by that of all the members
of the Government.
General PERROT has been appointed to command at
vincenne. There are already inscribed the names of
130,000 ouvriers anxious to attend the banquet on
Sunday. General PERROT has, it is said, warned all
persons occupying houses within range of the guns
of Vincennes to be prepared to quit them at a mo-
ment's notice.
A telegraphic dispatch has been received, an-
nouncing the outbreak of a legitimist insurrection at
Perpignan, and the proclamation of HENRY V.
The Prince DE JOINVILLE and the Due D'AUMALE
are both concealed in Paris. The police are engaged
in endeavouring to discover their retreat.
Prince Louis NAPOLEON BONAPARTE has been re-
turned for the department of the Yonne.
M. DROVIN DE LHUYS is to be appointed Under-
Secretary of State fur Foreign Affairs, in place of
M. JULES FAVRE.
The Committee on Finance have received a de-
tailed aecount of the receipts during the months of
March and April. In March there is a falling-off of
14,238,000 f. over the corresponding period of 1847,
affecting principally the import duties, which are
lower by 6,451,000 f. ; the registration dues are
3,487,000 E lower, and the stamp duties 1,310,000 f.
The difference for the month of April is, as
we mentioned some days back, 17,230,000 f. ;
the falling-off in the Customs for im-
ports being 7,385,000 f., in the registration
dues 4,894,000 f., and in the stamp duties 1,389,000 f.
The Committee heard the report of Moansina-
TERNAUX on potable liquors, in which several
changes are proposed. The duties on potable liquors
before the decree of March 31, brought in 42,000,000 f.,
but now will produce only 32,000,000 E; neverthe-
less, it has been received with the greatest disfavour
in the departments, as it divides amongst 2,500,000
wine-growers the charge which formerly weighed
on 350,000 wine-sellers, rendering it impossible for
the growers to sell their wines, at the moment when
the land-tax is doubled.
The Committee on Labour has heard the report of
M. PASCAL Duraxr on several projects, sent in with

a view to raise public credit—such as a Banque
Hypoth6caire ; the issue of notes by the State to land
proprietors at a low rate of interest; the establish-
ment of a bank in each department, to perform the
duty of receivers-general for nothing, and discount
bills at a small charge ; and the issue of two milliards
of notes on the guarantee of national property. The
report states that the principal point in all these plans
is to relieve public credit ; and the next, to issue
paper money, to replace specie in commercial trans-
actions.

The Committee on Public Works, in its meeting
of yesterday, adopted the following resolutions :-
1. That all railways shall be purchased by the Go-
vernment, and become the property of the State.
2. That the purchase shall be made by giving the
shareholders rentes on the State. 3. That the com-
panies, on being purchased, shall be dissolved, and
that each shareholder be called upon individually to
accept or refuse the proposition of the Government.
4. That the shareholders refusing shall be required

to refer their claims to the arbitration of a Committee,
to the nomination of which they will be called upon
to consent.

It will he seen from this that the report of the
Committee of Public Works is in direct opposition to
that of the Committee on the Finances.

Some attempts at disorder having been manifested

in several brigades of the national workshops, M.
LALANNE, on Tuesday, issued an order, dissolving
the brigade of carpenters employed in the interior of
the Palais National. The brigade, previously em-
ployed on the outer boulevards, between the barriers
of Ivry and La Gare, is also dissolved. The head of
this brigade has been struck off the lists of the
national workshops. The men of the dissolved bri-
gades wbo can produce certificates of good conduct,
and who took no part in the disorders which rendered
the dissolution necessary, will be re-admitted as
members of the Ateliers Nationaux.

The Prefect of Police has issued a proclamation,
which speaks in strong terms against the acts of
certain journeymen bakers, wbo have been of late
attempting to impose illegal conditions on the masters.
The Prefect declares that all such attempts shall, for
the future, be most severely punished.

The National Assembly met yesterday, and was
engaged in discussing the measure for the prevention
of armed assemblages, presented to it by the Execu-
tive Committee, which appeared in The Sun of yes-
terday. The discussion, which was very animated,
had not concluded when the post left; but many of
the articles of the proposed measure had been agreed
to, and there was little doubt but that it would be

carried.
BOURSE--PARIS, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 7.

THREE o'cLocx.—The Bourse was firmer to-day than
h., has been for a long time. Thera is a considerable rise
in Railway Shares and in Foreign Funds, and the French
Rentes remain as yesterday. The recent news from
Italy, and the belief that the French Government would
not persist in the scheme for the spoliation of the rail-
way shareholders, was the principal cause of the im-
provement. The turn taken by the debate in the
House of Commons on the Spanish question has had
a good effect. It was reported that M. Duclerc, the
Minister of Finances, was about to retire. The divi-
dend was taken of the Three per Cent. Rentes.
For the account the French Three per Cents. are the
same as yesterday. Five per Cents. are also without
any change. For money, the Three per Cents. and Five
per Cents. are also as yesterday; Bons du Tre3or are at
23 discount; Bank of France Shares have risen 35f.;
Belgian Bank Shares remain at 700; Belgian Two-and-
a-Half per Cents. are not quoted; Spanish Actives not
quoted; Roman has risen lit per cent.; Rothschild's
Receipts have risen per cent. Railway Shares for the
account, settling of the 15th of June:—The only busi-
ness done was in Northern, which.have risen 61. 25c.iFor
cash, Orleans have risen 61. 25c.; Northerns, 25c.;
Strasburgs, 3f. 75c.; Lyons, 2f. 50c.; Rouen, 7f. 50c.;
Havre, 5f.; and Marseilles, 81. 25c.
