merce :

" Monsieur le Ministre—The Chamber of Com-
merce of Paris hastens to associate itself to the move-
ment of glorious national regeneration, and to join
its efforts to those of all good citizens for the prompt
re-establishment of order after victory. Ready to
give its co-operation to the Provisional Government,
it places itself at your disposal for all the necessary
relations of the Government with the trade and
manufactures of Paris. It will occupy itself from
the present moment, and within the range of its
means, on the task of sustaining commercial credit,
facilitating the resumption of affairs, and contribut-
ing to the.welfare of the working classes. We are
with devotedness your tellow-citizens, the mem-
bers of the Chamber of Paris—Legentil, President;
Horace Say, Secretary ; Lanquetin, Treasurer • T.
Baudot, Bayvet, Bertrand, Devinck, F.
Hemon, Aloder aine, Moinery fils, G. Thibaut.
" HORACE SAY, Secretary.

" The Chamber of Commerce has decided that the
sum of 20,000 francs shall be paid for the relief of
the wounded and the working class."
The Minister of War has addressed the following
circular to the commanding officers of military divi-
sions and sub-divisions :

" Paris, Feb. 26.

" General,—A great national act has just been
accomplished ; royalty has disappeared before the
sovereignty of the people. All good citizens, all men
of sound feeling, ought to rally round the Provisional
Government of the Republic. The generals in com-
mand of divisions and sub-divisions will, therefore,
assemble the troops under their command, will pro-
claim at their head the new Government, and will call
forth a manifestation of their adhesion. They will
afterwards transmit without delay to the Minister of
War documents declaratory of their adhesion. The
generals will besides employ all the means in their
power to maintain discipline amongst the troops ;
they will see that their wants are regularly provided
for; and they will give all the necessary orders for that
purpose. They will concert with the administrative
authorities, in order that public order may be respected,
and, to that en 3, they will seek support from the
National Guard, to whom is more particularly con-
fided the task of defending our public liberties. The
Government Counts that the army, faithful to its
duties, will always remain in the path of honour.
You will acknowledge the receipt of the present
circular, the execution of which I confide to your
patriotism. " SUBERVIC."
The Constilutionnel gives the following account of
the damage done to the St. Germain's railway :

" The details which we receive as to the damage
caused to the St. Germain Railway are most melan-
choly. The injury done is estimated at from four to
five millions at least. The Pont de Bezons is de-
stroyed, like that of Asnieres. The atmospheric ap-
paratus has been devastated at Nanterre, and several
other partial demolitions have been effected. The
company is showing the greatest zeal in re• establishing
the service, partly by common carriages, and partly
by the parts of the line which remain uninjured. On
the Rouen and Havre line the damage has also been
considerable, particularly about Rouen at both sides."
The Provisional Government is making arrange-
ments for convoking a National Assembly. It is
said that it will be elected upon the basis of the Con-
stitution of 1791.

A meeting of all the Ambassadors from the dif-
ferent Powers was held on Saturday at the Hotel of
the Turkish Ambassador, and they unanimously re-
solved to remain in Paris until they should receive
communications from their respective Governments.
A captain of the National Guards waited upon
Lord NORMANDY on Friday, on the part of the new
Government, and stated that as the report was cur-
rent, that the Ambassador was alarmed on account of
the disturbances, the Government was ready to send
a party of the National Guards for the protection of
the Embassy. Lord NORMANDY at once declined
the offer, declaring that he felt every confidence in
the French people, and was well assured that the re-
sidence of the representative of a nation which had
been E o long on friendly terms with France would
be respected. The result showed the correctness of
Lord NORMANDY'S judgment.

A telegraphic dispatch from Southampton an-
nounces the arrival of a cutter at Jersey, having on
board General LEFEBVRE, a lady and two children,
and General LEFERTRE'S servant. The lady with the
two children are supposed to be the Duchess of
ORLEANS, with the Count DR PARIS and the Duke
DE CHARTRES, and General LEFEBVRE'S servant is, it
is said, M. GuIZOT.
A letter from Dreux, in the Union, says—" Louis
PHILIPPE arrived at the Chateau here on the 24th, at
eleven in the evening. A supper was sent out for
amongst the public eating houses of the town. He
was accompanied by MARIE AMELIE and the Duke
DE AIONTPENSIER. He slept at the Chateau, after
having sent for the Sub-Prefect and some intimate
acquaintances. He was in a state of complete pros
tration, and repeated each moment ' like CHARLES
X.!' He left the next morning in a hired carriage
and by bye-roads for Vernon. It is said here that
his passage through this latter town was not effected
without obstacles."

BOURSE.—PARIS, MoNDAY.—The Bourse continued
closed to-day. A great crowd of persons remained
all day on the steps, discussing public affairs. Under
the clock has been painted the words, Egalite, Liberty,
Fraternite, as is now the case with all the public
buildings in the capital. The coming settlement is
not now much spoken of, as the prudent plan decided
on by the agens des change removes all difficulty on
that head. The following are the rates at which the
accounts of the principal railway places are to be
closed:—Northern, 535 f.; Orleans, 1,1751. ; Rouen,
857 f. 50c.; Havre, 417 f. 50c.; Marseilles, 531 f.
25c.; Centre, 500 f. ; Bordeaux, 475 f. ; Lyons,
385 f.; Strasburg, 402 f. 50c. ; Nantes, 3801. The
period of resuming business is not yet
definitely fixed, as it is obviously the interest of the
new Government to throw back the time until public
affairs have settled down, and men's minds have be-
come somewhat re-assuretil. At present no one can
form an idea of the opening prit;2s ; but if a conjec-
ture can be formed from the rate aL which railway
shares are offered, the fall will be exceedinglygreat.
The fact is, that every one is puzzled what to (~."•
being unwilling to hold shares, and still obliged, from
not getting any person to purchase. General busi-
ness is, however, beginning to resume its course.
The Bank of France on Monday discounted to the
extent of thirteen millions. It has sent a circular to
all its branch banks in the provinces, recommending
to them to assist as much as they safely can the com-
mercial progress of affairs.
The Provisional Government has appointed a com-
mission, entitled the Government Commission for
'Workmen, to consider the labour question. All
parties advocate a peace policy. The mot d'ordre is
"No attack unless attacked." The account of the
Revolution had been received at Nice with the
greatest enthusiasm.

FATAL ACCIDENT.—On Tuesday last her Majesty's
steam-vessel the Triton, on going to her moorings at
Gravesend to adjust her compasses, previous to going
out on an experimental trip (as it is supposed to test the
means of preventing the spontaneous ignition of coals),
stationed one of her men, named Wooller, on the buoy,
to make fast a hawser, when, from the engineer mis-
taking the order given by the pilot to " turn astern," the
vessel was moved a-head, and the poor fellow was
knocked of the buoy by the paddle-wheel and drowned.
The ;deceased had been married only six weeks, and
was a great favourite with his officers and messinates.
