effect, to raise a national loan of two milliards of
francs on the following terms :
" The State shall issue credit-paper to the amount of
two milliards. This paper shall represent an equal sum
to be paid by the subscribers to the loan. The credit-
notes issued by the State shall bear the title of Loan
Bonds.' They shall be of the amount of 20f., 501., 1001.,
2001., 5001., and I,ooof. The issue shall take place
monthly; during three years from the promulgation of
the decree, until the amount so issued comes up to the
said sum of two milliards. This issue shall amount for
each of the four first months of the se-ries to 100 millions,
and for the other months to 50 millions. The interest to
be paid by the State for the funds arising from the loan
shall be reduced from 5 per cent, to 1 per cent., the rate
of the Bank. A special bill shall regulate the mode of
repayment."
It was expected that there would have been some
disturbances in Path on Friday night. If any such
were intended the eineutiers were awed into good be-
haviour by the preparations made by the Government
and the public tranquility remained undisturbed.
Galignani' s Messenger publishes the following from
Lille :
-

" The workmen of the atciers communaux of Lille,
who, as we have stated, had returned to their labour,
and appeared disposed to be orderly, suspended work
again on Thursday, and passed the day in idleness.
Five or six numerous assemblages were formed in the
streets, but it was not considered necessary to take
any measures, as there were no disturbances., At
half-past six, however, as the mayor was going to
the Municipal Council, he was followed by
several hundred individuals who addressed him in
gross language, and at length several of them
seized him by the throat, and beat him. His life
would probably have been in danger, if he had not
been rescued by some citizens, and lodged in a
house. Four of the fellows concerned in the out-
rage were arrested. Great excitement now prevailed in
the city, and the groups of workmen became so nume-
rous, and so threatening in their language, that the
rappel was beaten. On the appearance of the National
Guard, the perturbators fled, but bands of boys pa-
raded the streets, singing the " Marsellaise," the
" Girondins," the " Chant du DASpart," &c. A force
was sent to the mayor's house, but the rioters, though
they broke some of the windows, made no attack on it.
The National Guards remained under arms till mid-
night. Early yesterday morning the mayor issued an
arrete, which was approved by the Prefect, dissolving
the ateliers communaux, on account of the disturbances,
and of the refusal of the men to do piecework, but pro-
mising relief to the workmen until associations of them
should be formed to do the work by the piece. About
six o'clock in the evening the workmen assembled in
numerous groups, and displayed a threatening attitude.
The rappel was beaten, and the National Guards turned
out. There are no later accounts.

The accounts from Paris of last evening state that
neither CAUSSIDIERE nor Louis BLANC have been yet
arrested ; indeed it is supposed generally that they
have succeeded in escaping into Belgium.
The club of the Salle Montesquieu and that of the
National Guards having complied with the requisi-
tions of the new law, resumed their sitting on Friday.
The second report of the Committee on the consti-
tution is to be presented to the Assembly by M.
MARRAST in the course of the present week. The
clauses with respect to " the declaration of duties and
rights," and the chapter on the " sovereignty of the
people," are suppressed ; and the clauses which gua-
rantee to all citizens the right to work and to re-
ceive instruction, are greatly modified. In the
chapter relative to the election of a President of the
Republic, it is declared that no one can he Presi-
dent who has lost his rights as a French citizen.
The effect of this latter clause, if carried, will be to
exclude Prince Louis NAPOLEON.

Some transactions took place on Sunday in the
Passage de !'Opera, at the price of 73f. 25c. for the
Five per Cents., being 50c. lower than the closing
price of the day before in the Parquet. It is, how-
ever, to be remarked, that for the two or three days
before the Coulisse had soli at from 25c. to 50c. lower
than the Parquet.

Madrid journals of the 22d have arrived.
Several arrests have taken place in Madrid, by
order of NARvAxZ, who has, it is alleged, discovered a
Carlist conspiracy in the capital.
The financial scheme of MON is as follows :—He
purposes paying off sixty millions of the Government
debt to the Bank in cash, thirty millions of which are
expected from the provinces, and the other thirty to
be advanced by the Madrid capitalists, a meeting of
whom was called on the 21st, when a committee was
appointed to carry out the required advance.

PRUSSIA.

The official journal of the Government contains a
long account of the disturbances which took place on
the 22d, from which it appears that the houses of
some ministers were assailed, and some constables who
had gone to maintain order were grievously injured.
It was said that shots had been fired. The official
journal announces that a judicial investigation had
, been set on foot, and it calls on those who can give
evidence to do so. In the Assembly the Ministers
gave explanations on the disturbances, from which it
appears that the excesses at Charlottenbourg were de-
plorable, and that one of the democrats was so ill-
treated by the people as to be in danger of death ; that
at Berlin the mob broke open, with iron bars, the
doors of the hotel of the Minister of the Interior, and
penetrated to the apartments ; that they uttered
cries at the residence of the President of the
Council, and threw stones through his win-
dows at a moment when all the foreign ambas-
sadors were assembled ; that they damaged the facade
and smashed the windows of the hotel of the Minister
of Justice, and told him in the street that he ought to
resign as he had lost the confidence of the people.
' The mob also went to the Hotel-de-Ville and devas-
tated the corridor. The constables had the greatest
trouble to prevent further mischief until the arrival of
the Civic Guard. The Ministers announced that ex-
traordinary measures would be presented to the As-
sembly by the Government. The Minister of Justice
was hurt in the leg by a stone thrown through the
windows of the President of the Council. The dis-
turbances at Berlin were caused by what took place
at Charlottenbourg, and were excited by a placard
of the Democratic Club. A letter from Berlin, of
the 23d, gives the following details :
" The people, excited by speeches of two men named
Dorvint and Bauer, sent a deputation to the Ministers to
demand the abolition of constables, the release of poli-
tical prisoners, and, if possible, the retirement of the
Ministers. The deputation was received by the Mi-
nister of Justice, at the hotel of the President of the
Council. Dorvint and Bauer insisted on the demands
of the people, and dwelt at some length on the neces-
sity of the retirement of incapable Ministers. The Mi-
nister of Justice heard them with great calm, and an-
swered with great moderation. As soon as the deputies
had retired terrible cries were heard, among which the
words " Vengeance I to arms !" were distinguished,
and at the same moment the visitors at the hotel
of the President of the Council were compelled to
abandon the front apartments in consequence of a
shower of stones from the streets. The cause of
this act of violence is not exactly known : some say
that whilst the deputation was with the Minister in the
hotel, a troop of constables charged the people; others
say that the people were alarmed at not seeing the de-
putation return. Presently, the mob armed themselves
with iron bars, and tore up the pavements; after which
they sent another volley oF stones at the hotel, and broke
every window. The constables were obliged to retire,
though not until some of them had been wounded. Inns
scene of devastation lasted an hour, during which the
visitors of the President of the Council got away by the
back doors. At length the Civic Guard, which had
been detained at a fete, arrived, and drove the crowd at
the point of the bayonet from Wilhelmatrasse. The
mob went to the Lime Trees, and continued similar
scenes till midnight. A barricade was raised near Beh-
renstrasso and Friederichtstrasse, and the armed force
had to carry it. Several shots were discharged. There
is a talk of many wounded and even killed. About 40
persons were arrested with arms in their hands. The
Lime Trees and Wilhelmstrasse present a desolating
aspect, as after the days of March."
On the evening of the 25th the Burgher Guard
and the whole constabulary force were assembled, and
on the blowing of a horn they cleared the Linden
and closed all the avenues leading to it with double
chains, and thus prevented the meeting of any riotous
assemblage.
The new law, about to be proposed to the Assem-
bly for the regulation of public meetings, enacts
that no open-air meeting shall take place without
twenty-four hours' notice being given to the police.
It also fixes certain rates of punishment for those per-
sons attending meetings, making a distinction when
they are armed or unarmed, and adds that in the
event of an assemblage not separating at the third
summons, the armed force will b,9 called upon to dis-
perse it.
