I LIVERPOOL, April 8.
I The additional intelligence received fpm
France is Of Importance. The Provisional
Government having sequestrated the Orleans
and Central Lines Of Railway, the directors
met, and resolved that the shareholders be con-
yoked, those Of the Orleans on the 9th, and
those Of ,heCentre on the 2Sth instant that
the revocation Ofth sequestraton be demand
ed of the government as speedily as possible,
and that, pending the seques,ration. all posi-
bic measures be taken by the two boards for
the preservation Of the rights of shareholders
and of third parties.
The statement that NJ Thiers had declined
the candidateship 10 the Assembly is, the Con-
sttutional says, erroneous.
The Provisional Government have issued a
decree, aulhorisng the collectors, assessors,
commssaries, 10 remit or diminish the contri-
buttons of 40 per cent of the years taxes, in
cases where II shall appear to be individually
oppressive. Another decree appoints NJ. Ara
go Minister of War; with Lieut.. Col. Scharas
as Secretary. NJ Aragois TO hold ad interim
the Ministry Of Marine.
Another decree imposes tax on all salaries
received by functionaries Of the state Of every
grade.
1t is reported that NJ. Garmier Pages is to
retire from the office of Minister of the Finan-
ees, and that he is TO be succeeded by VI. Ach-
lie Fould, the eminent banker. This is an ap-
pointment which would give great satisfaction
TO the commercial community throughout
France.
The commercial prospects of France become
daily more and more gloomy. The necessities
Of the Government are also rapidly increasing |
The Bank Of France has made advances to the
Republic by way of loan, on the security of
treasury bonds, to the extent of 0,000 900
francs, 1.-TWO million sterling;) but these funds,
With such temporary aid as can be procured
through the ordinary resources, must shortly Il
,oine to an end. A few patriotic gifts, amongst
which we see the Archbishop Of Paris contri-
,utes his silver spoons and forks, the only
,latc he had left, have been sent into the re-
publican treasury but in national point Of
new, the amount raised is quite insignificant.
Not day passes but ii is marked by the fail
ire ofsomc considerable banker. Il
The funds in Paris have experienced fur
her alarming decline, the three per cents hav-
ng been down as low as 81, which is twelve
er cent below the lowest price they have ev-
r ranged since their creation. We have even
card that some bargains have been done al
81! II
Paris was quiet and tho last accounts from
.yons announce the complete restoration of
in that city. II
The elections for officers ofthe National Guard
ave, generally speaking, terminated in favor
