The following telegraphic despatch from
Paris to Liverpool, just at the momen, of the
Caledonia's leaving, appears in the New York
Courier aud Enquirer
PARIs, Friday, June %, o'clock, p. NJ.
1t is just reported that the Executive Gov
ernment have all resigned, and that Gen. Ca
vaignac has been placed at the head of the
armed forces, and that the CITY or PARIS
HAS BEEN DECLARED IN "A STATE
OF SIEGE.
\ At the last moment, says the despatch from
London, we can only say that no mail has ar

T, 1t would be an abuse to your patience to re-
capitulate here the various causes for uneas-
ness that exist. Among them there is one,
however, which is very deeply felt, on which
you have hitherto heard little, but which is
likely to become prominent-namely, the pro-
cess ofconfederation that is in progress in the
departments, which threatens To array them
against the metropolis. This project has had
most success in the sOuth-four departments
alone Of which have already regimcnted r.
900 men. In Amlens, the opposite extremity
of France, the principle has also made great
step in advance. There seems to be abroad in
the provinces an impatience of what they deem
the tyranny exercised by Paris, and deierm-
nation to put an end to it. Were they unani-
nous this might be effected but it would be
premature to talk of the lost sway of the cap-

Letters iiOm Bordeaux received on Wcdncs-
day give an alarming account Of the state Of,
public opinion in that city and throughout the
department of the Girondc. The Republicans
complain that the additional tax of 4j per cent.
imposed by the Provisional Government has !
completely eXasperated the mass of the people
against the Republic.
An article in one of the French journals |
shows that the Army Of the Alps is composed
of battalions infantry, 80 squadrons Of ofcavalry, !
and formidable artillery, comprising alto
gether 30, 900 men. This army is composed of
picked men, all of whom have served in Alge-
ria 1t is said to be animated by the best spir-
it, and tn be well supplied with ammunition and
all kinds Of military stores.
The financial condition of France presses
heavily on the consideration of the press and
the public. la PREssE states that the Minis
ter Of Finance has in the Treasury but l3 ,OOO,-
OOOf TO pay the interest on the Three per
per Gents, due yesterday, and which amounted
to 100000 (f76O ,OOO). How the in
terest of the Five per Cents, due in Sep
tember next is to be paid, none pretend TO
say.
NJ. de Ro,hschild is in negotiation with the
executive government on the subject of loan.
In consequence OF some observations made
upon Prince Louis Napoleon Bonapartc by
Capt. Goudchaux, of the Republican Guards, |
the latter was challenged by NJ. Napoleon Be
trand. The parties met on Wednesday and
fought with sabres. Capt. Goodchaux was
severely wounded in the forehead.
