111 the margin of the list. The names of the electors who
may not have voted are to be called over. The ballot
boxes arc to be sealed up, and deposited during the night
at the Marie, and be protected by a post of the Notional
Guard or the army. The room containing these boxes
is to be senied up. The counting of the votes is thus
to be proceed toe—the boxes are to be opened, and the
number of votes to be verified. If this number be
greater or less. than that of the voters, the fact is to be
mentioned in the minutes. The counting of the votes
is to be made by the members of the bureau. The tables
on which this is to be done are to be ranged in such
a way that electors may walk round them. Blank
voting papers, together with those in which it may
be impossible to recognise either adhesion or refusal,
are not to be counted, but are to be annexed to the
minute s. Immediately after the counting of the votes,
the result of the ballot to bo published, and the voting
papers, with the exception of those annexed to the
minutes, are to be burned in presence of the electors.
In the communes divided into sections, the result of the
votes expressed in each section is to be settled and signed
by the bureau, and afterwards be conveyed by the presi-
dent to tiho bureau of the first section, who is to 'nuke
the additon. Vie examiuut;on of votes for all the de

The Minister of the Interior has addressed the fol-
lowing letter, dated the 7th, to the Cumniander-in-
Chief of the National Guards :
" General,—lu several parts of Paris some owners of
houses have shamelessly written on their doors—' Armes
donned.' One could conceive that a national guard
might write Armes (mach& de force,' in order to cover
his responsibility as regards the State and his honour
towards his fellow-citizens, but to inscribe a maik of
shame on the front of one's own house is revolting to the
French character. I have given orders to the Prefect of
Police to cause these inscriptions to be of aced, and I
request you to point out to me the legions in which such
things have taken place, in order that I may propose to
the President of the Republic to decree their dissolution."
By decree of the PRESIDENT of the Republic,
dated the 7th, the sth Legion of the National Guard
is dissolved. The motive for this decree was the
following letter to the Minister of the Interior from
General LOWORSTINE
" Monsieur le Ministre,—The National Guard will
applaud the sentiment expressed in the letter which you
have done me the honour to address to me. One of the
legions of Paris has submitted to the double insult of
being disarmed at the houses of its members, and the
shameful inscriptions of which you speak, The Mairie,
notwithstanding the presence of 60 men, was taken by
the insurgents. This was the sth Legion. I communi-
cate this tact to you, and call for its dissolution. I am
happy, on the other hand, to be in possession of a great
number of facts which show that the spirit of order
and obedience has not ceased to reign in many other

lcgions."
The Moniteur publishes a decree of the PRESIDENT
of the Republic, forming a Commission composed of
the President of the Tribunal of Commerce of the
Seine, the mayors of the 2d, 6th, and Bth arrondisse-
ments, M. JAY, architect of the city of Paris, and M.
ARNAL, physician, to inquire into and estimate the
injury received on the 3d, 4th, and sth, by innocent
victims of the insurrection. The same decree opens
to the Minister of the Interior a credit of 200,000 f.
for the first necessities.
We find the following in the Patrie :—" The PRE-
SIDENT of the Republic having heard that M. TRIERS
was ill in the prison Mazes, and that he could not
receive proper attention there, has ordered him to be
removed to his own home, and there placed under the
surveillance of the police. M. TILLERS was therefore
set at liberty, and returned this evening to his hotel.
M. ROGER (Du Norm) has been set at liberty."
The Ivloriiteur Parigieu says :—We are assured that
M. Louis BLANC has been arrested, as he was leaving
a steamer, and about to take the railway."
M. CASABLANCA, ex-Minister of Finances, has ad-
dressed the following letter to M. D'AitcouT, Go-
vernor of the Bank of France :
" Monsieur le Gouverneur—lt has been rumoured
that on the occasion of late events, I, as Minister of
Finance, withdrew from the Bank a sum of twenty-five
million francs. You know that this rumour has no
foundation; that I confined myself in my dispatch of the
27th November, to making known to you the intention of
the Government to dispose of that sum, in virtue of the
treaty of the 30th June, 1848, and that fleft the Ministry
without having withdrawn the twenty-five millions,
which I wished to keep in reserve for the public service.
Be kind enough, I beg of you, to authorise me to publish
the reply which you will do me the honour to address
to me. Receive, &re "X. DE CASAIIIANCA."
" Paris, 6th Dec."
The following is the reply of M. D'ARGOUT :
" I hasten to reply to the letter which you have done
me the honour to address to me. You mention the false
reports which have been in circulation on the subject of
your relations with the bank, in quality of Minister of
Finances. These calumnious accounts have been already
contradicted in the Petrie and in the Constitutionnet. I
think there remains no traces of them. Nevertheless,
in order to satisfy your wish, I declare that on the 27th
November you did me the honour to address a dispatch
to me, saying that you had the intention of demanding
for the tieuaury a sum of 25,000,000, forming the com-
pletion of a loan of 150,000,000 which the bank had en-
gaged to make, in virtue of the treaty of the 30th June,
13.18, approved by the decree of the 25th July following,
and reduced to 75,000,000 in virtue of the law of 6th
Aug., 1850, a sum on which there had not been yet paid
to the treatut v, but 50 millions. The Council General
of the Bank, deliberating the same day on that demand,
admitted that it was in conformity with the terms of
that treaty, the last epochs of the payments of which
were bucctssively prorogued in the first place to the 31st
Deember, 1850, and afterwards to the 31st December,
1851. The Treasury up to this day (6th December)
has not availed itself of its right to make this demand,
and its account has not yet been credited with any por-
tion whatever of these 25 millions. I have the honour
to observe to you that although the most absurd reports
have been circulated on thousands of occasions ou the
operations of this establishment I should have had
enough to do to have contradicted thorn all, and I have
paid no attention to them. At the expiration of a short
time they have fallen into oblivion.—Accept, &
" Paris, Dec. 6." " D'ARCOUT.

King JEROME, on the night of the 4th December,
addressed the following letter to his nephew the NZ-
SIDENT of the Republic
My dear nephew,—French blood is flowing; stop it
by serious appeal to the people. Your sentiments are
badly understood. The second proclamation, in which
you talk of plebisciti, is badly received by the people,
who do not consider it the reestablishment of the right
of suffrage. Liberty is without guarantee if an As-
sembly does not suit the constitution of the Re-
public. The army has the upper hand. It is the mo-
ment to complete the material victory by a moral vic-
tory; and what the Government cannot do when it is
beaten it ought frequently to do when it is victorious.
After having beaten the ancient parties, restore the
people, proclaim that universal suffrage, sincere, un-
shackled, acting in accordance with the greatest li-
berty, will nominate the President and a Constituent
Assembly, to save and restore the Republic.
" It is in the name of the memory of my brother, and
partaking his horror for civil war, that I write to you.
Believe in my old experience; think that France, Europe,
and posterity will well judge you.
"Your affectionate uncle, •
"JEROME BONAPARTE."
It was immediately on the receipt of this letter that
the PRESIDENT re-established vote by ballot.
The Constitutionnel states that M. TRIERS is about

has also, with the exception of three Members, pro-
tested against it.

A letter from Brussels of the 3d, in the Post Ampt
Gazette of Frankfort,
says :—" This day a member
of the Mountain arrived here to get a proclamation
printed, containing a declarationsof impeactnent against
the PRESIDENT of the French Republic, but we doubt
much whether he has been able to find a printer to
undertake it. M. FELIX. PLAT has been here for two
clays. The arrival of a host of French fugitives has
caused the adoption of much more rigorous measures
as regards passports. Ono of the first acts of our
G-overtimi nt was to send dispatches to the Hague to
warn the Dutch Government to be on its guard
against certain eventualities. As regards this coun-
try, all that has been done has been to send instruc-
tions to the governors of provinces, and the military
commandants, to recall all officers and soldiers on
leave of absence.
The Chamber of Commerce at Havre made in its
sitting of the sth a demonstration against the acts of
the PRESIDENT. The military commander of that
port during the state of siege has therefore issued a
proclamation, warning all deliberative bodies not to
exceed the strict limit of their attributions, by passing
resolutions on such matters, otherwise they will be
dissolved. lie abstains from dissolving the Chamber
