tion in case of need. Baron TALLEYRAND is said to
have resigned his Secretaryship. The Eco mentions
a report that the new French Government have re-
quired to know whether the Spanish Government will
recognise the Republic. It is said that they demand
an answer within three days.
There has been another great fall in the funds. The

Coupons, 11 sellers.

"The guards filed off to the music of the Marseil-
laise, and the crowd dispersed in perfect order. Such
was the effect of this republican manifestation, that
the inscription of volunteers for the 12th legion
amounted yesterday to 730, instead of the hitherto
average diurnal number of 150.
"Great changes have been made at the Luxemburg
palace. The private garden hitherto appopriated to
the grand referendary is open, with all the rest of
the garden, to the public. The glazed passage which
led to the residence of the president of the palace, and
which was used as a conservatory, is being removed.
M. Dupont (de i'Eure) is established in the hotel of
the late chancellor, and over the principal entrance is
inscribed, Hotel du president du Gouverneinent Pro-
visoire de la Republique.' "
M. ALEXANDRE DUMAS has, through the columns
of the Presse, addressed the following letter to the
DUC DE MONTPENSIER

We have received the Paris papers of yesterday.

The Constitutionnel states that a rumour was in
circulation, to the effect that it was intended to post-
pone the elections for the National Assembly, at
present fixed for the 9th April.
The Provisional Government has established the
Discount Bank of Paris, which will commence opera-
tions on Monday. Similar banks are to be esta-
blished in the departments.
The National denies from authority the statement
which appeared in the PreAse, that M. Gouncuaux
had resigned the office of Finance Minister, in con-
sequence of a difference of opinion with his colleagues.
M. GouncnAux had originally only accepted the ap-
pointment provisionally until M. GAaNIER PAGES,
to whom it had from the first been intended to en-
trust the portfolio of the finances could make ar-
rangements to resign the office of Mayor of Paris.
The National also denies the rumour that M. noun-
CHAUX is to be appointed Governor of the Bank.
That gentleman retires definitively into private life,
A meeting of the partners of the firm of GOUIN and
Co. is to be held this day (Friday) for the purpose of
taking measures for the immediate re-organization
and re-opening of the bank, and for augmenting the
capital by 15 millions of francs.
The Provisional Government is adopting the most
vigorous measures to meet the financial crisis. A
deputation of merchants waited on them yesterday to
ask for an extension of the time already granted for
meeting bills becoming due. The Government re-
plied they would consider the subject, and it was
understood that the request would be granted.
The ,Sikle says—

" Prince, if I knew where to find your Highness,
it would be by speech, it would be in person that I
would go to offer you the expression of my grief at
the great catastrophe which has personally befallen
you. I shall never forget that during three years,
apart from all political sentiment, and contrary to the
desires of the King, who knew my sentiments, you
were kind enough to receive me, and to do me the
honour to treat me almost as a friend. I boasted of
this title of friend, Monseigneur, when you resided
in the Tuileries ; now that you have quitted France
I demand it. This friendship with which you honour
me—more than once you told me so—was an inheri-
tance which you received from your, brother—from
your brother—whom Providence destroyed—because
he was without doubt—by the love which was borne
him—too great an obstacle between what was then,
and what is now. Nevertheless, Monseigneur, your
Highness, I am certain, had no need of this letter to
know that my heart is one of those which is acquired
to you. God forbid that I should not preserve in all
its purity the religion of the tomb, and the worship
of exile.—l have the honour to be with respect,
Monseigneur, your Highness's very humble and very
obedient servant,
"4th March. AL. DUMAS."

The Minister of Finance has issued a circular to
the inhabitants of France, reminding them of the
systematic prodigality of the late Government, and
declaring that, under the French Republic, such a
course of things cannot be permitted to exist. Al-
ready the Provisional Government, he says, is seek-
ing the means of diminishing, in a large proportion,
the expenses of the State ; but, in order to succeed,
it must be energetically seconded by all the citizens.
It does not call for any extraordinary sacrifice—a
simple anticipation in the payment of the imposts will
be sufficient. In consequence, all good citizens are
called on to pay into the Treasury at least one-half
of their year's contribution. By that means, the
circular declares all the services of the State will be
properly carried on, and private credit will he
strengthened by the firm situation of the credit of
the State. The circular concludes by declaring that
the Provisional Government awaits with perfect con-
fidence the effects of this appeal to the patriotism of
France.

"A letter from Toulon, written by a captain of a
corvette, has arrived to-day in Paris. It announces
that a steamer, bringing both the Duke d'Aumale and
the Prince de Joinville from Algeria, has cast anchor
at the distance of a few leagues from Toulon, near to
Cape Sapet. The Prince was waiting there for the
orders of the Government. We have no news from
Algeria."

M. CARNOT, the Minister of Public Instruction, has
issued a circular to the teachers of Primary Schools,
ordering them to instruct their pupils in their poli-
tical duties as citizens as well as in their religious
and moral duties. After dilating upon the impor-
tance of such instruction, he thus proceeds :
" The greatest error against which it is necessary
to warn the inhabitants of the country is, that it is
necessary, in order to be a representative, to have
education and fortune. As to education, it is evident
that a worthy peasant, with good sense and expe-
rience, will infinitely better represent in the Assembly
the interests of his condition than a rich and lettered
citizen, who is a stranger to country life, or blinded
by different interests to those of the mass of the pea-
santry. As to fortune, the indemnity which will be
allowed to each of the members of the Assembly will
be sufficient for the poorest. It must not be for-
gotten, that in a great assembly, such as is about to
meet, the greater number of its members fulfil the
part of a jury. They judge by yes' or • no,' as to
whether the matters proposed by the elite of the
members be good or bad. They have occasion only
for honesty and good sense ; they do not invent.
This is the fundamental principle of Republican law
in the matter of national representatisn.
He then directs the rectors to get manuals drawn
up, in the form of question and answer, on the
rights and duties of citizens, and to be careful that
they he such as that profitable lessons may be drawn
from them. It is the duty of the teachers, he says,
to fill up the serious gap that has hitherto been
allowed in primary education, and the Government
looks for their energetic assistance in correction of
past faults.
" Let then (says he) the thirty-six thousand pri-
mary instructors rise at my appeal, to make them-
selves the immediate repaires of the primary instruc-
tion given to the inhabitants of country parts. May
my voice touch them even in the most remote villages.
I implore of them to contribute their part in
founding the Republic. The question is not now, as
in the time of our fathers, to defend the country
against danger on the frontiers. It must be defended
against ignorance and falsehood, and on them devolves
the task. What France requires is new men. A
revolution must not only renew institutions, but men
also. The altar is changed when the work is changed.
This is a principle of our policy, which it will not be
difficult for our teachers to inculcate."
It concludea as follows :

Serious disturbances have it appears broken out in
the Department of the Haute Garonne. A troop of
brigands issued from the Upper Pyrenees and com-
menced an indiscx imiate system of plundering and
burning chateaux and farm-houses. Troops were
dispatched from Toulouse, who succeeded in dis-
persing them, making twenty-five of them prisoners,
who are to be tried at Toulouse immediately.
From the tenour of the following article in the
National, it would appear that the Provisional Go-
vernment entertains every hope that the peace of
Europe will not be disturbed.
" Our provisions relative to the foreign powers ap-
pear likely to be confirmed. We learn from the English
journals that the Prussian Ambassador at London has
declared to Lord Palmerston, that his Government
would remain a neutral, if not indifferent spectator
of the revolution which has been accomplished in
France. Information which we have received from
a person who arrived yesterday from Berlin, autho-
rises us to believe that in fact peace will not be
troubled in that quarter. The news of events at
Paris, of the adhesions of the departments, and of
the calm which everywhere prevails, have thrown
the Court of Prussia into great agitation. The
enthusiasm of the population of Berlin did not
permit Frederick William to change his disquietudes
into menaces. Ile comprehended that, and has re-
signed his mind to leave us undisturbed. The Liberal
Opposition becomes more p.,werful and more deter-
mined, calls for new concessions, and thus occupied
at home, it is impossible for the King of Prussia to
think of renewing the wild attempt of 1792. Were
he even inclined, he would not be able, probably, this
time to induce his people to march against us. The
affair of Neufchatel alone could excite his anger; but
that question is not a popular one in Prussia. Public
opinion has already had occasion to declare itself on
that point. It is unwilling that the King should
engage the whole nation in the defence of an
interest of but little importance, and altogether per-
sonal to himself; much more would it disapprove
at present of the conduct of Frederick William
to commence a war destined certainly to become
general. Thus, whatever may be the regrets, the
fears, and the anger of the Prussian Court, it is almost
disarmed against us; it must be satisfied to curse
France in secret, without attacking us: Austria in
her part is too much occupied with Italy to think of
us. Russia alone remains, but reduced to her proper
strength, separated from us by Poland and Germany,
In want of money, she will probably postpone her plans
if she entertains any hostile ones. We continue, con-
sequently, to think that none of these powers will be
tempted to interfere in our affairs. They are aware,
besides, how France is accustomed to receive trouble-
some visitors of that kind, and the perfect security
which prevails here will be to them a sign of the little
disquietude which their plans cause."
M. Louis BLaisc, the President of the Govern-
ment Committee appointed to adjust the claims of the
labourers, had fixed the salary of the drivers and
conductors of omnibuses to 3f. 50c. per day. M.
BLANC had, moreover, considerably reduced the
amount of the fines to which they were liable, and
decided that their proceeds should in future specially
belong to the conductors and drivers, and form a
fund for the benefit of the sick and wounded, their
widow s, &c.
The Courrier du Nord of the 7th thus announces
that the strike of the miners of Anain was nearly
terminated :

" Those honest labourers felt how deplorable it
would be, not only for the Anzin Company but for
the manufacturing interests generally, if the suspen-
sion of the works continued much longer, and have
consequently reduced their pretensions to an increase
in their salary of 20 centimes (2d.) per day. We
are informed that the company is inclined to make
that concession the moment the works shall have re-
commenced. 'We have even heard that the Adminis-
tration of Anzin would probably follow the example
lately set to them by M. Rothschild for the Northern
Railroad Company, and to interest the workmen in
the prosperity of the concern by awarding to them a
share of the profits."
These papers do not confirm the rumour received
by telegraphic dispatch, yesterday, from Folkestone,
that the Provisional Government had stopped payment
of the Treasury Bonds.

" Such is the new service which in these revolu-
tionary times I claim from the zeal of the primary
instructors. In the meantime, and before they have
time to teach infants, with the necessary degree of
calm, the elementary rights of the citizen, it is ne-
cessary that they should, en tattle hate, teach the
adults. This is a task which is not beyond their
force, and you will aid in it."
The paviers of Paris have struck for an increase
•f wages. They refuse to resume their work, unless
the Government gives them Bf. a-day, in place of 4f.,
the ordinary price. The Government not being
inclined to yield to such a demand, has employed
journeymen masons to repave the streets.
The Reforme gives the following account of the
reception of M. BARGES (for eleven years confined
in a dungeon, the victim of the tyranny of the Ex-
KING and his Ministers), as Colonel of the 12th
Legion of National Guards:—

The Duke of SAxE•CoRURG and his Duchess, the
Princess CLEMENTINE of Orleans, arrived on Satur-
day evening at the Palace of Brussels from England ;
but the next morning set out again for Germany.
BOURSE, THURSDAY, FEB. 9.

" Yesterday, at half-past twelve o'clock, there was
animmense assemblage of National Guards in and
out of uniform, in the Place du Pantheon, waiting the
appearance of the Mayor of Paris and General Cour-
tais, to proceed to the reception and acknowledgment
of M. Barbes, nominated provisionally Colonel of the
12th Legion. Other officers of different legions were
also to be presented. The appearance of General
Courtais and Colonel Barbes was hailed with loud
acclamations. After 11. Recurt, the deputy mayor,
had acknowledged and presented Colonel Barbes, the
band of the legion played the ' Alarseillaise,' all pre-
sent singing the hymn in chorus. Many of the
fellow-prisoners and 011 associates of Barbes in the
affair of May, embraced him in cordial congratula-
tion, the crowd exclaiming with enthusiasm, Viye
la Republique.' When silence could be obtained,
Colonel Barbes came forward, and delivered the fol-
lowing address :
" Citizens,—My voice has been extinguished in
dungeons of royalty, and I am unable to express to
you as I wish the feelings with which I am impressed
on finding myself at your head. I can only tell you
that I view my nomination as an honour rendered,
not to me, infirm and miserable man as I am, but to
the principle for which I have had the fortune of un-
dergoing some sufferings. It is for that I have ac-
cepted, and for that I am certain of your concurrence
in our functions. Citizens—do I deceive myself?
No. Citizens of the Republic, sons of France, we
all know but one duty—that of loving and defending
her with all our strength, as we would love and de-
fend our wives and sisters, against all who may have
the insane insolence to attack her. Such is your re-
solution—is it not, citizens ? For myself, what finer
fate can I be ambitious of than that of dying (as I
have constantly wished to do in my prison) for the
holy cause of the people, for equality, and for France?
Viva la Republique !'

Matters were better to •day ; in some cases the
fall has ceased, and in others an amelioration has
been manifested. Amongst the latter is the Three
per Cents., which show an advance of 5f., the closing
price being 521. They were at first weak, and after
having commenced at 48f., went down to 47f. 50c. ;
about two o'clock, however, some sales commenced,
which carried prices up, leaving them at the highest
quotation of the day ; the Four per Cents. closed at
67f., or If. higher than the day before. Five per
Cents. continued rather weak, closing at 73f. 50c., or
If. 50c. lower. Nothing was done except for money,
although, as on the previous days, the official lists
contain quotations for the Account. They also give
primes,' dont 50c., at 601., or Bf. difference between
that price and the money one.
The cause why the Five per Cents. exhibit more
weakness than the Threes, is that many speculators
anticipate a conversion as soon as the Constituent
Assembly has time to pay attention to the matter.
The number of quotations for the Five per Cents.
to-day amounted to not less than 27, a greater
number, perhaps, than was ever known before at
the Paris Bourse. Bank of France Shares have
again declined, the closing price being 1,9001.,
or 70f. lower than the day before ; Quatre
Cantina closed at 1,0001., or 50f. lower ; Rouen,
at 74f., or if. lower; Piedmont, at 8001., or 50f.
lower ; City of Paris Bonds, at 985 f., or 15f.
better than the day before. Belgian Five
per Cents, of the Loan of 1840, were negotiated for
the first time since the Revolution ; the price was 7.5 f.,
or 23'41. lower than the previous quotation. In
Railway Shares several lines show an improve-

ment :—Havre are 501., closing at 2f. 50c. ; Rouen, Cochrane, T. Wakley, Esq., M.P., and other Members of
Bordeaux, and Bale, each 10f. higher, closing respec-

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)
CORN EXCHANGE-FRIDAY.

The quantity of English Wheat fresh up to-day was
very small, and the stands were rather scantily fil;ed
with samples of both red and white, although the week's
arrivals coastwise have amounted to 4,850 quarters.
Selected qualities were in moderate request at fully
Monday's quotations. in the middling and inferior kinds
very little was doing at late rates. There was an im-
proved demand for most kinds of Foreign Wheat; but
we have no advance to notice in value. l'he supply on
offer was not to say large. Fine Malting Barley moved
off steadily at full prices. Grinding and distilling sorts
were neglected. There was a better inquiry for malt;
but no improvement was noticed in value. Oats were
quite as dear, with a steady demand. All other articles
as on Monday.

the Commissioners, the proceedings terminated.

ELECTION COMMITTEES.
(THIS DAY.)
HARWICH.

The Harwich Election Committee did not meet to-
day, in consequence of Mr. Beckett, one of the members,
having been attacked by the prevailing epidemic.

ISE W DLEY.

The Bewdley Election Committee re-assembled this
morning; Mr. Wrightson in the chair.
Mr. ALEXANDER was engaged the whole of the morn-
ing in replying on behalf of the sitting Member. He
announced hii in►ention to call several witnesses to rebut
the charges which the other side had attempted to
establish, and to prove that Sir Thomas Winnington, the
defeated candidate, and his agents, were guilty of bribery
