PARIS, Friday, March 10.
The forthcoming elections in France excite
great attention. The Government were aware
Of the fearful importance of the matter, and
were, with the temper and the sagacity that
had hitherto characterized their measures,
preparing for the crisis.
500 mercantile firms connected with the
Paris Bourse waited on the Provisional Gov
ernment to ask the further Ge'ay Of q month
on bills due on the 29th ult., which, by de-
cree of the Government, had already been
extended TO the 10th inst. Their demand
not being acccded to, they were said to have
threatened to dismiss their clerks and work
men, and announced their determination not
to satisfy their engagements.
Towards the close Of business on Thursday
the market considerably improved in conse-
quencc of report that the Government
would publish on Friday an expose Of the
financial situation Of the country, in which
important reductions in the public expenses
would be announced. 1t was understood
| that all salaries above 5000 francs would be
reduced, and that a minister respectively
should not be allowed more than $4,000 francs
(&l00Q) per annum.
The Three per Cents. closed on the Paris
Bourso on Thursday at f so; the Five per
Gents. at f &c so.
Papers from Toulon state that the Duke
d Aumae and the Prince de Joinyille had ar
rived of that port and made communica-
ton to Admiral Baudin, who had, through
the telegraph, applied to the Government for
instructions. The Admiral it was said, had
been authorised to place Il steamer at the dis
posal Of the Princes, to convey them wherever
they pleased.
The account Of the revolution in Paris
reached Vienna on the 1st ins:., and produced
a profound impression. The CONSERVATION
which prevailed there" says an article in Tie
National, "cNnnot be described" The Five
per Cent. (Metalliqucs) fell from 81 to 81.
The intelligence fom Italy received III Wen
ma was anything but satisfactory.
The Archbishop of Paris, accompanied by
two Wears General, presented himself to the
Provisional Government on Tuesday, and
gave in his adhesion to the new order o.! things,
in the name Of the entire clergy of hs diocese
NJ. Dupont de pEure, President of the Gov
eminent, thus replied to the prelate: The
Provisional Government receives with tie
liveiest satisfaction your adhesion TO the Gov
ernment of the Republic. Liberty and rcli-
gion are two sisters, equally interested to live
on good terms with each other. We rely on
your cooperation and on that of the clergy,
as you may rely on the sentiments Of bcnev.

The failure of the house Of Gouin & Co. on
the 9th of March, caused much excitement.
The cause of the failure was the refusal OF the
Bank of France to make them advances be-
; yond 100000 or 7,O00,000f and its out
standing liabilities are stated at 50,000,000f
, or 100000.
The French revolution appears to have
produced fruits elsewhere. Wilmer & Smiths
Times says:
In London a triiipg disposition to riot vas
exhibited in the early part of the week, but
tie disorders were confined to a few mis-
chicvous boys and artisans out of employ
ment. Order was speedily restored. in
Glasgow the tumults were more serious, and
several persons have been unfortunately shot
by the military. The rioters in that city
were merely thieves who p}undered the shops.
land had evidently neither concert Eor any
political object in view.
In Manchester some tendency to disturb.
ancc has been exhibited, but every thing is
now quiet In our own town tranquility has
: been disturbed. Numbers Of unemployed
porters and others have assembled On the
Exchange, but no political feeling IS obserya-
bic. In ireland 10 breach Of the peace has
yet taken place, but the exciting language
of q certain portion of the press, which sur
passes any thing within our recollection, has
not escaped the attention Of the authorities.
The revolution produced some excitement
in Belgium, but the government soon que!lcd
every disposition to disturbance.
SpA1N-In Spain the French party is
completely ovcrthrown. Christina is in utter
, despair. Naryaez has proposed in the Cham
. bcrS Il suspension OF the individual guaran-
tees OF public liberty, and las obtained 3d.
| 100000 sterling to enable the Government to
protect the throne of the queen and the in
dependence Of Spain. No republican feel
ings exist, but the Progrcsistas strcnuously
oppose the surrender OF their liberties to the
executive.
