LATEST FROM FRANCE.

(BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.)

(From the 3rd edition of the Times.)
PARIS, MrNDAY, 9 30, A.M

The Presidtnt has addressed a proclamation to the Nation, in
wh ch he says that the first part of his task is accomplished,
and that society has been saved.

The impending appeal to the Nation will terminate the
struggle of parties.
If he does riot possess the confidence of the people, a vote to
the contrary will be sufficient, without shedding blood.

So long as the Nation shall not have token, he will do his
best to neutralise factious attempts. _ _

It was insanity in the insurgents tp fight against an army
united and disciplined, and animated by military honour and
patriotism.
The calm attitude of Paris, the approbation of the inhabi-
tants against the emeute, are witnesses enough to prove in fa-
vour of whom the capital pronounces.
On this occasion an anarchy has met repulses in those places
where insurrection formerly found moat ready recruits. The
workmen took no part with the anarchists.
In conclusion, the President declares that his sole ambition

ensure the peace and prosperity of France ; and that the coun-
try will soon accomplish in tranquillity that act from which a
new era ought to arise for the Republic.

According to the Government organs, not the slightest indi-

The prices of nearly all the public securities have risen

The shares of of the Bank of France have risen 100 francs ;
those of several railroad companies, 25 francs. Government
accounts, received from all the chief towns of the departments,
state that tranquillity has been maintained. In many towns,
not garrisoned by troops, the population remained quiet ; and
it is stated by Government that the working and other classes
would have united, if necessary, in supporting the cause of
order. .

The Prefect of the Department of the Allier declared in a
state of siege has published an address to the inhabitants de-
claring that the greatest rigour would be displayed in repress-
ing brigands who disturbed order. He exhorts all the friends
of order to unite in resisting any attack.

TRIAL OF THE DUKE OF NORTHUMBER-
LAND'S PRIZE LIFE BOAT.

It will be remembered by our readers that, in October,
be Ddlce of Northumberland, with a patriotism
of emulation, offered a premium of 100 guineas
for the most approved model of a boat to preserve life in
cases of shipwreck, contiguous to our coast ; and also
appointed a committee of gentlemen, well versed in nau-
tical matters, to decide on the relative merits of such
models as should be The difficulties to be

that existing- boats were too heavy for transportation
quickly along the shore ; that they did not free
themselves from water with sufficient rapidity. and that
they had not the power of self-righting. After due
examination, the prize was awarded to Mr. James
Beeching, of Great Yarmouth, who, to test the principle
in the righting, sailing, and rowing of these boats, has
this week honoured Liverpool with a visit. Yesterday, a
trial, preparatory to the public one arranged for to-day,
took place off the Waterloo-pier. A large number of
gentlemen were present—amongst them Lord Cholmon-
deley, Mr. M`Lean, Secretary of the Mariners' Shipwreck
and Humane Society, Lieut. Lord, Captain Gillam, and
many other gentlemen versed in such subjects. The craft

being slightly rounded in the floor, and plump in the side.
