IMPEACHMENT OF LOUIS BLANC

The committee of the assembly appointed to inquire
into the case of M. Louis Blanc decided, on Friday, by a
majority of 15 to 3, for the impeachment. The assembly
entered into the debate on Saturday, and after a discus-
sion the prosecution was negatived by a majority of 368
votes against 332.
INCENDIARISM IN PARTS.—Baron Rothschild's model-
farm villa has been burned by incendiaries, in pursuance
of the system, a detail of which will be found in Blanqui's
papers, viz. to destroy the bourgeoisie, by extinguishing
credit, through perpetual outrage and confusion. It is
supposed by the communists that the frightening away of
M. de Rothschild will be a great blow at the financial
means of government. There is little other news from
Paris. M. Louis Blanc's prosecution is looked upon with
disfavour.

The electric telegraphs of France are to be immediately
opened for public use. In this case all important intelli-
gence can be transmitted from Paris to London in little
more than two hours.

THE FRENCH RAILWAYS.—The French railway pro-
prietors are strongly protesting against the absorption of
their undertakings by the French republic. The measure
has been rejected by the assembly.
REPUBLICAN CIVIL LIST.—The sovereignty of France
being now in the streets of the capital, the nation has to
provide a suitable Civil List for its many-headed and
many-mouthed king, in the shape of wages for the na-
tional workshops in Paris, which amount, it is stated, to be
£lO,OOO sterling daily. For the edification of those who
are in the habit of declaiming against Royal Civil Lists,
let it be known that the French Republican Civil List is
at this moment running at the rate of Three Millions, six
hundred and fifty thousand pounds sterling per annum!
TRADE IN FRANCE.—The following fact, stated by the
correspondent of the Morning Chronicle, is very signifi-
cant as to the state of trade and monetary affairs :—" A
few days ago, two Englishmen, who came to Paris to pick
up bargains, went into one of the largest silk warehouses
in the capital, and after looking over the stock of goods,
which was a very excellent one, asked the proprietor how
much he would take off the invoice price, if they would
take the whole off his hands ? The warehouse proprietor,
after consulting with his partner, spoke of five or ten per
cent. ; but the Englishman stopped him at once, by say-
ing that they would give him forty per cent. on the in-
voice price, and not one farthing more. Tile warehouse-
man was indignant at first, but the end of it was that
necessity forced him to accede to the offer made, and the
Englishmen got the goods at sixty per cent. below prime
cost. Such examples, I suspect, are not singular." The
same writer adds :—" A circumstance which shows the
little confidence the moneyed interests have in the future
prospects of the Republic is, that some of the few re-
maining great bankers of Paris, who have contrived to
save a portion of their fortunes, are windirr, up their
affairs as fast as they can, and getting out of business."
