THI FRENCH. REPUBLIC•  We have received tie Paris journals of yesterday. The Committee of ?ermanance of the Assembly held their usual fortnightly meeting on Thursday. Tho following report of the proceedings appears in some of the journas : " The Permanent Committee assembled yesterday under the presidency d M. Lacrosse, one of the VicePresidents of the NationallAssembly. Twenty-two members were present, of whom eighteen belonged to the committee and four to the bureau of the Assembly. They were—M\l. Lacrosse, president ; Benoist d'Azy, vice-president of the Assembly; Yvan, secretary; Le Flo, questor; De Melun, General Changarnier, Vitet, De Montebello, De la Tourette, General de Bar, Adm. Cecille, Ponjoulat, Dufougerais, Didier, Gen. Grouchy, Passyßernardi, Bocher, General Rullieres, De Kermarec, De Montigny, and Hubert de Lisle. " M. Lacrosse opened the sitting by communicating to the committee the measures which She Government had thought it its duty to take with regard to several committees of sevolutionary propagandism, connected with the central me in London. The Government has been long aware teat branches of the London committee were established is Paris, and that their object was to propagate revolutonary doctrines, not only in France, but abroad, particularly in Germany, and after having acquired a patty° proof that these establishments were in full activiti, it ordered a descent of the police, which led to the arrest of a certain number of persons, several 1 of whom were Germans, and the seizure of important papers. One of the chiefs was also arrested at Strasbourg at the moment when he was proceeding into Germany, having vial him proclamations and very important documents. Tie President, moreover, announced that tranquillity wat secured, that the Government was on the watch, and was perfectly prepared to put down any attempt at disterbance. As to the departments, nothing new had taken /lace to give rise to any uneasiness. Attempts had been made in the departments of the Drone) to seduce some sub-officers and soldiers from their duty, but they were attended with little success. The revolutionary agents had, however, succeeded in compromising some soldiers, three of whom had withdrawn themselves from the punishment which awaited them, one by committing suicide, and two others by deserting. The President then, alluiing to the :state of manufactures, said he was happy to announce to the committee that two of the principal branches jewellery and cabinetmaking—which had feared to be without employment in the winter, will be able to furnish work to their numerous hands by means of the extensive orders which they have received in consequence of the Exhibition of London. Building also was, he said, going on very prosperously in Paris, where the demolitions occasioned by the prolongation of the Rue de Rivoli occupy a number of workmen, and necessitate constructions on other points of Paris. The harvest has been an average one, the most satisfactory state both for the producer and the purchaser, and consequently for the consumer. After this statement of the President several members spoke on the subject of the revolutionary propaganda carried on by the French refugees in London. " A Member of the Committee observed, that for a long time past the British Government had tolerated the political refugees at London in conspiring against all Governments, and that it would, perhaps, no proper for the Committee, through its President, to advise the French Government to come to some understanding with the English Government on the subject. He asked the President whether the Government had taken any stops in the affair 7 "M. Lacrosse replied, that he participated in the uneasiness felt by several Members, and doubtless by the Government itself, at the tolerance shown by the British Government ; that he regarded that tolerance as bad and disastrous, but that he was not in a position to reply to the question addressed to him. " Another Member observed that the English laws permitted refugees to say and write whatever they thought proper, and that so lung as they refrained from any act or demonstration the English Government would not interfere. He did not, moreover, think that the permanent Committee could come to any resolution on that point. " A third Member, whom we believed to be Genera Changarnier, remarked that the Committee was not a deliberate body, and had no right to insert on its minutes any mention of such a delicate subject. Its only mission was to watch, and it ought not to depart from its attributions. It had not to meddle in general politics. Besides, he said, the Government had made arrests, and that proved that it was on its guard. The great majority of the Committee thought that the position of the refugees in London, conspiring against their country and against all Governments elsewhere established, was a thing much to be deplored; but that it could not interfere in:the policy of the Government on so delicate a subject. Another member suggested that the arrests made in Paris were perhaps the result of warnings from the English Government, and the French Government wished to be prepared to prove that the proceedings of the refugees were not confined to writings, but extended to criminal acts." The arrests on account of the pretended plot still continue ; up to last night 232 have been arrested. The Patrie, the organ of the Government, admits that many of those arrested are not concerned in the plot, but that they havebeen arrested for security's sake, that is to any, to prevent them from taking measures to start a Republican candidate for the Presidency in opposition to the unconstitutional candidature of M.
