OPENING OF THE NATIONAL AssEmBLY.-We
have received details of the proceedings at the
opening of the French Chamber on the 4th
inst, which passed off satisfactorily. The
members of the Provisional Government, dis
tinguished by tri-colored sashes, went in pro-
! cession to the Chamber, from which all per
sons havingarms were excluded. Loudapplause
greeted them on the way, and on their arrival
at the Chamber.
Among the members present beside the Gov
eminent, were the Bishop of Orleans, Lacor-
daire, lin the dress of Dominican friar,) M.
de Montalembert, Odillon Barrot, Dupin. Ber-
reyer, Beranger, Larochejaquelin and Billault
Nj. Dupont de fEure was the first of the Gov
| eminent who entered, followed closely by La
MARITIME aud the others.
SPEECH OF THE PRESIDENT OF THE Provision
AL CONFERENCE.-THE. Audry dy Puyreveau,
senior deputy, took the chair as President; af
ter which M. Dupont assembled the tribune and
delivered the following speech:
Citizen Representatives. The Provisional
Government bows before the nation and rem
ders homage to the supreme power with which
you are invested. Elected of he People, well
come to the great Capital where your presence
excites a sentiment of happiness and hope,
which will not be disappointed. Repositories
of the national sovereignty. you are about to
establish new Institutions upon the large basis
of democracy, and to confer on France the on
ly Constitution fitting for her-a Republican
Constitution. |
Thus having proclaimed the great political
law which will definitely constitute the coun-
try, you will, citizens, like us, occupy your
selves in regulating the peaceable and effica-
Cious action Of the Government In the relation
which the necessity of labor establishes among
citizens, and which must have for its basis the
sacred laws OF Justice and Fraternity. In fine,
the moment has arrived for the Provisional
Government to resign into your hands the I'M
limited power with which the Revolution in
vested 1t.
You know whether with us the dictatorship
has been anything more than moral power,
exercised amid the difficult circumstances in
which we were placed. Faithful to our origin
and to our formed convictions, we hesilated
not TO proclaim the nascent Republic of Feb
ruary. To-day we inaugurate the labors of the
National Assembly 10 that cry at which we will
always rally-"Vive la Republique." Zap
plause.)
Some business was gone through in the after
sitting, but it was not expected that the Presi
dent of the Assembly would be declared till
next day.
The DANCE BEGUN-The correspondent of
the Daily News writes from Paris on the Sd as
follows:
/ am assured that the Provisional Govern
ment yesterday received telegra phic depatch,
announcing that the army of the Alps had en-
tered Savoy.
From another source we learn the following:
Reports current that the Army of the
Alps had entered Savoy to aid in defence of
Italian independence against Austria. The
Moniteur of the Sd published decree granting
a credit of 10000 900 francs for war purposes.
The inference is, that movement on Lombar
dy is in contemplation, in the event of the
Austrians defeating the Sandman troops. The
Constitutional, however, denies that there is
any truth in the report that France is about to
declare war against Austria.
DIsTURBANcEs.-The riot at Rouen was
somewhat serious. 1t is supposed to have been
excited BY the harrangue of Blanqui, and other
ultras, against the Republican authorities. On
the night of the 26th. band of some 400 pass
ed along the quays, crying, down with the
National Assembly" and singing the Cairo
I
ed to disperse them. The mob threw up barri
cades. and made stout resistance. They were
finally subdCed, but not until sharp fire of
musketry and cannon was opened upon them,
by which some twenty lives were lost.
| At Amiens also there have been disturban-
ces, but attributable to no political cause, mere
ly tumult about wages. At Rocefort the
electors of several parishes fancying some trick
ing was going on with the bulletins, seized the
ballot box and burned it. The next day the
struggle was renewed. Five persons were
killed, Government Commissary was expelled,
and an officer of the line wounded
at Lyons there have been disturbances, but
the most remarkable at Limoges. There the
workmen rose possessed themselves of the
town, and imposed upon the more wealthy in
habitants forced contribution of $50 ,OOOf. :;
one inhabitant alone is believed to have had to
pay 7O0f. (928) No attack upon the liberty
l-of person was made. Families in easy cir
cumstances were suffered to leave the town.
1t was expected that order would soon be re-
