Paris was perfectly tranquil up to the hour of the
departure of the post last evening.
The Illoniteur du Soir of Saturday says :—" Our
relations with the states of Central America have just
been interrupted. Our Consul has quitted Guate-
mala, leaving our countrymen under the protection
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 annulment of the
election of M. RIVET. The Prefect explained that
he had not the power to do what they required—
that the Assembly alone bad; 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, and
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 Terremi., ..a re-
mained to an advanced hour, bawling the chorus of
the Marseillai4e7 " Aux armee, 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:ilionileur du Soir,
has been addressed to the British Consul at Boulogne
by the National Guards who visited England :
" Monsieur le Consul,—Being unacquained with the
administrative formalities of your country, we take the
liberty of requesting your kind intervention to thank
your fellow-countrymen in the name of all our comrades
assernblA 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-
sibility, Sir, of transmitting to you the names of all
those to whom our sincere thanks are due, we restrict
ourselves to naming the directors of the Continental
steamers, and particularly Mr. Herbert, their secretary-
general ; the directors of the South-Eastern Railroad,
and Mr. Ccckerton, their representative at the London
station ; to Superintendents Swan and Essel, and Cap-
tains Paul and Monger. Be pleased, Sir, on this occa-
sion, to be the interpreter of our sentiments of gratitude
towards the honourable functionaries by whose delicacy
so many of our fellow-countrymen have profited. if
such conduct, Sir, leaves anything to be desired, it is the
opportunity of proving, in our turn, to your fellow-coun-
trymen, the value that we attach to this mark 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'CLocii.—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
French troops at Venice is also looked upon 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 arc nearly nominal;
the Loan has fallen 25c,.. For Money, the Three par
CentF. bare risen 25c.; Five per Cents. remain as on
Saturday; while the Loan is sc. lower; Bona du Tresor
are not quoted; Bank of France Shares hare fallen 15f.;
Belgian Bank Shares are quoted for the first time for
some weeks at 645; ditto Two-and-a-Half per Cents, are
at 39; Spanish Active not quoted; ditto Three per Cents.

ment; Rothschild's Receipts are as on Saturday. Ex-

SUCCESSFUL INSURRECTION PROCLAMA-
TION OF A GERMAN REPUBLIC.
The Republicans under STRUVE have made a suc-
cessful outbreak in Baden, and have proclaimed a
German Republic. According to the Gazette Na-
tinale Suisse, STRUVE had returned to the Grand
Duchy to attend his trial for certain articles which he
had published in his paper, the Spectateur Allemand.
He was received by the people with enthusiasm, who
accompanied him to Lorrach and conducted him to
the Hotel dc Ville. There he harangued the people,
whu arrested the magistrates and the other employes
of the Government, and imprisoned them. The
tocsin sounded, the whole of the neighbouring
communes rose, the refugees returned to their homes,
was called out, the republic pro-
claimedublican army, divided into three

masters of Lorrach.
The revenue collectors had taken the oaths to the
Republic, martial-law had been proclaimed against
traitors and reactionaries. Orders had been given
to the authorities to keep the tocsin ringing all day
in the different communes, and signal fires burning
on the mountains all night, to arrest all Monarchists
and sequestrate their property, and to call out
all the young men capable of bearing arms
and direct them to present themselves at the
chef lieu of the district. All these orders were
issued in the name of the Republican Government,
and signed, " STRUVE."
The following proclamation has been addressed to
the German people by the chief of the Baden insur-
rection :---

" The struggle between the people and their op-
pressors has commenced. The people have been
fired upon even in the streets of Franckfort- on-the-
Maine, the seat of the impotent Central Power and of
the verbose Constituent Assembly. The sword alone
can save the
triumphs at Frankfort, Germany will be plundered
German people. If the reaction
and oppressed by legal means in a manner more ter-
rible than she could have been by the most bloody
wars. To arms, Germans ! The Republic alone can
conduct us to the goal at which we aim.
" Long live the German Republic I
" In the name of the Provisional Government.
(Signed) " G. STRUVE.
" German Republic—Prosperity, Education, Li-
berty for all.

Head-quarters, Lorrach, Sept. 21." •
It is said that the Baden insurgents have taken
Friborg in: the Black Forest, and the French Patrie
of Sunday publishes a letter from Mulhausen, an-
nouncing that they had taken Carlsruhe, deposed
the Grand Duke, and marched upon Frankfort.

The following PRUSSIA.
Programme was addressed by the
new Minister, Vox PFuEL, to the Diet in their sitting
of the 22d :

that, while obeying
" We approach the august Assembly under the assur-
anceßing, and accepting the posts assigned to us, we are
firmly resolved to continue in the trodden constitutional
road. 'We will energetically defend the liberties guaran-
teed to the Prussian people, and repel every reactionary
the command of his Majesty the
attempt with all the authority of our office. We will
take especial care that these principles are rigidly obeyed
in all the branches of the public service, whether civil or
military.
" The administration which this august Assembly is on
the point of uniting with the Crown will, we trust, have
the guarantee in
itself that the Prussian nation, inti-
mately united with the whole German nation, will be
unanimous and strong."
In the course of the sitting General VON PFUEL
addressed the Assembly as follows :
" We appear berm) „this Assembly, Wing entered
