A new candidate has started for Paris in the person
of Admiral DUPETIT THOUARS. Count D'ALTON
SHEE has retired in favour of the Socialist candidates,
and it is said that negotiations are going on for the
retirement of M. RasrAlL in favour of Louis NAPO-
LEON BONAPARTE. Both Orleanists and Legitimists
have united to support Marshal BUGEAUD, who is
said to have made his peace with the Bourbon Pre-
tender of the elder branch, and to have written him a
most penitent letter. The Marshal, moreover, hath
indited a most gunpowder letter to the electors of
Paris, in which he empresses his ardent desire to fight
everybody everywhere.
There is to be a grand fete on the 22d inst., the
anniversary of the foundation of the first Republic.
The debate on the right to labour was resumed
yesterday, and, to the astonishment of every one, M.
BILLAULT made a furious attack upon M. TRIERS,
and energetically advocated the Communist view of
the question. M. DE LAMARTINE followed, and de-
clared himself opposed to the acknowledgement of
the right to labour. Ultimately the amendment of
M. MATHIEU DE L♦ DROME was withdrawn, and M
GLAIR BIGOIN was left proposing an amendment
which recognizes the right of existence by labour,
and to assistance in distress.

The Gazette contains a decree enacting that the

that the amount of notes to be

continued in circulation shall not for the present ex-
ceed 500,000,000 reels ; that those now exceeding
that amount which may be brought in shall be an-
nulled by being accepted in payment of the forced
loan or the Customs duties, or being paid in specie;
that 100,000 reels in specie and good securities shal
be deposited in the new branch as security for all the
notes in circulation ; that the notes of the Bank shall
be everywhere received in payment of taxes, &c. ;
that the public treasury shall maintain constantly a
quantity of specie equal to a third of the amount of
the notes in circnlation, and to have the other two-
thirds in good securities easily realised ; and that
no increase in the above fixed amount of notes
(500,000,000 reels) to ba in circulation shall take
place without a corresponding increase in the securi-

ties to be deposited. This decree produced a good
effect in commercial circles; the discount on bank-
notes fell to 2* per cent., and it was believed the
notes would soon be at par. Some political arrests
had been effected.

A Montemolinist and Republican conspiracy had
been discovered and put down at Saragossa.

Letters fro
Berne, in the Augsburg Gazette, re-
port the proceedings of the newly assembled Diet, and
the acceptance of the federal constitution by the

into a direct
negotiation without any mediation, and
that the city of Verona had been selected as the place
of meeting for the Plenipotentiaries. The Prince

CA.VAIGNAC'S FILE FOR FRENCH NEWSPAPERS.—
General Cavaignac has recently taken out a patent for
an improved File to huld (very fast) French newspapers.
We are enabled, by the courtesy of the gallant patentee,
bolds to give a faithful engraving of the instrument (a sword
run through a host of newspaperb). It will be observed,
that although it alreadybds mny
to file every newspapers, there
is ample room for many more. Indeed, it may be made
newspaper throughout France.—Punch.

Great complaints are made that unfair means are
being resorted to for the purpose of coercing the votes
of the military during the approaching election, or
of depriving them virtually of the right of suffrage.
Several soldiers of one of the regiments stationed in
Paris have addressed the following letter to the editor
of the Reforms on this subject :-
4. Monsieur le Redacteur,—The revolution of Febru-
ary admitted and proclaimed our rights as citizens—we
who were only soldiers before that immortal event. The
R-public, in taking for its motto those sublime words—
' Liberty, Equality, and Fraternity,' has admitted us to
the banquet of political life, where fresh duties await us;
for the first time our voices are to be counted—we are
going to choose those who will discharge the debt of
the past. If we have not been able to prevent the elec-
tion of certain men, the born adversaries of the people,
as sincere and devoted Republicans we shall, at least,
have protested; but this right—the right of Universal
Suffrage, purchased with the blood of our brethren, has
not delayed becoming, at least in our regiment, com-
pletely illusory, the manner in which things are ma-
naged rendering the exercise of it virtually impossible.
" Be assured, Citizen Editor, that this has deeply
grieved us; we, therefore, protest, through the medium
of your journal, and point out the following facts:—
. 1. We only heard accidentally of the day of the
election, and when we did hear of it it had terminated;
when we went to our superior officer to complain, we
were told that the elections were all over. On observ-
ing to him that we had only just come off guard, and
that more than sixty voters for the department of the
Seine had thus been unable to exercise their right of
voting, we were told that a time should be fixed for
our doing so, since which we have heard nothing more
of it.

2, We have to-day taken fresh steps by applying to
the sub-officer, who is the scrutineer. He replied that
we annoyed him; in other words, be sent us about our
business.

" We will further remark that the Members of the
bureaux were not properly chosen, and were chosen
without our consent.

" We submit these facts to your judgment, persuaded
that you will do all that is possible to preserve rights
so dearly acquired by our glorious revolution of
February.

"Health and Fraternity.
" May God preserve the Republic.
(Signed) " The Soldiers of the —of the Line.
" Paris, Sept: 12, 1848."
" These facts," observes the Reforme, " are serious,
and call for a serious inquiry, which we demand. It
would, in fact, be better to suppress the right of the
army than to thus stifle it by a denial of justice and by
hypocrisy.
" We have had other facts brought to our knowledge
on the subject of the elections, which we publish without
reserve. On Sunday the sergeant-majors received
orders to prepare the bulletins for their subordinates,
and to inscribe on them before their distribution the
name of Marshal Bugeaud. Several soldiers refused to
vote, not seeing themselves free in their choice. In seve-
ral arrondissements, and principally in the 2d and Bth,
every demand for inscription has been refused since the
7th inst. In the 2d arrondissement more than 5,000 re-
fusals of this. kind have been pointed-out." • -
Some of the journals having stated that a spirit of
discontent and insubordination had manifested itself
among a few of the soldiers stationed at the Ecole
Militare, on account of the substitution of bisciut for
bread in the rations, the Moniteur du: Soir contains
an explanation on the subject of the biscuits given
out in lieu of bread for making soup, saying that it
was true that thesoldiers at the Ecole Militaire cried
out against the supposed innovation under mistaken
impressions, that were explained, and the matter set
to rights.
In consequence of the dispute existing between the
master builders and their workmen, on :the subject of
the hours of labour, M. Ducoux, the Prefect of Police,
bas issued a proclamation, stating that the law of the
Assembly has not at all altered customs established
in trades anterior to the 2d March last. That
when before that date the custom was to work a less
number of hours than twelve, that custom is still in
force, for the new law only prohibits the working
for more than twelve hours.
