The report having been adopted, the meeting was
made special for approving the Bill for the branch now
before Parliament, which having been confirmed, the
meeting was dissolved.

FRANCE.
The Moniteur, publishes a decree by the National
Assembly, declaring that the National Guard, the
Garde Mobile; and the troops of the line have merited
the thanks of the'country, and voting the thanks of
the National Assembly to the delegates from the
provinces who ,assisted in the defence of the national
sovereignty. Two other decrees order the pro. •
secution of COERTAIS, BARnES, and Ammer, and
charge Captain ALLART, of the Ist legion of
tie National Guard, with the custody of Cora..
TAM Another decree appoints M. CLEMENT THOMAS
Commander-in-Chief of the National Guard. There
are two decrees accepting the .resignation of M.
GUINARD, as chief of the staffpf-tilw:National Guard,
dismissing M. SAISSEL, as sulikiliKand there is also
an important order by the Minister of the Interior:
revoking the appointments of all the commissaries.,
general of the departments from the_ 18th inst., theii
functions being without object now that the govern-
ment is in the -hands of the National Assembly. We
also find in the Mon:tear the following proclamation
to the French people from the Executive Govern-
ment

" Citizens!—A crime has been committed against the :)r.4,
National Assembly. Some factious men have attemptedliz-h•
to violate the sovereignty of the people. In presence of !•.x..:
this attempt your representatives remained calla:Land__
firm; the majesty of right has triumphed over brute
force. The Assembly, for an instant disturbed, has •
resumed its labours. It sits in the midst of you, still
great. still strong, ever ready to insure the triumph of
tho Republic, and to realise for labourers the just
hopes which the revolution had given to them. Crime
is vanquished. The National Guard, the Garde Mo-
bile, the army, all the forces of Paris and the barlieue,
drove before them the insensate conspirators, who
masked their plots under the name of Poland.
Citizens I—Your victory is hallowed, for the blood
of your brothers has not been abed. Remain
still armed at your posts ready to defend, as you so
well have known how to do, the Republic against
anarchy. The men who have sullied the temple of the'
constitution henceforth belong to justice. Justice is in
action, the Government is vigilant, and the culprits are
in custody. Have faith in the future, for the future has!_
never been wanting to those who have fidelity and
courage, and your fidelity and courage have been put to
the proof."
Signed by the Executive Commission.
It appears that M. CAUSSIDIERS, the late Prefect
of Police, and who is most seriously implicated
in the treasonable attempt of Monday, still
holds out against the public force at the
Hotel of the Prefecture, where he is sustained, it is
stated, by about three or four hundred Inontagnards.
Not the least apprehension is, however, enter:
tamed of a serious resistance, or of the escape of the
perturbators,: as the hotel is completely invironed
by an immense force of National Guards, Gardea
Mobiles, troops of the line, and artillery. This im.
t•osing force, who evidently act with a design to
*Pare the effusion of blood, is so imposing in its num-
I3ers, as to set all fears for the results entirely at rest.
ale idea of holding out at all against such a powerful
demo
n;it
ttrraion is, indeed, wholly preposterous. In
of the capital security appears perfectly
A-estored.

! It will be seen that during the course of the sitting
p'esterday, it was announced by the Ministers to the
ssembly that the persons in the Prefecture had
urrendered, and that it was now in possesion of the
officers of the republic.
