TURCK. In giving evidence before the Committee of Inquiry, M. TURCK had stated that he had heard M. BAURE declare on the 23d and 24th of June,  that the insurgents would not be put down till they had killed four or five hundred of the Members of the Assembly. M. B&UME .declared that this assertion was "an infamous and odious calumny ;" but M. MACK replied, however that might.be,' it'was strictly true. The President stopped both speakers, and adjourned the subject till the general discussion. M. Louis BLANC in the course of the same sitting complained bitterly of the conduct of certain journals, which hid garbled the evidence given before the Committee, by publishing only such portions of it as tended to inculpate him, and carefully suppressing everything that might tell in his favour. He concluded by giving notice for Monday of a decree prohibiting the publication of these documents in the journals until after the discussion shall have taken place in the Assembly. The following is the weekly report of the Prefect of Police on the state of Paris:—  " Citizens,—The emotion which hasoccwupayiedantdhempaukbinligc mind during the last few days is giving room for a ieeling of security of which no serious cause ought in point of fact to, disturb the duration. Vague rumours, alarming reports hawked about by malevolence, and augmented by tear, cannot long prevail against the evidence of facts. If it were true that men were capable of restoring in France a form of government justly abhorred,.that would be madness; for anarchy in our days would not lead kings to their thrones—it would only serve to precipitate the instigators and accomplices of these fratricidal struggles into an abyss. Without doubt, the stoppage of industry and the stagnation of trade do not cease so quickly as each of us of fotuhled wanting desire • but the miseries which the revolution of February may have' added to, though it did cause them, would only increase tenfold through our discords, and the workmen would be indefinitely condemned to privations which, with order, Constitution must have an early end.

The elements of the public fortune, the symp. toms of a slow, but continued return towards a normal state, assume every day a less contestable character. Facts and figures exist ; and bad faith itself cannot prevail against them. The workshops are being re-opened, and the workman ressumes the place which he had too long lost. The movement which is taking place in all branches of industry is even remarked in those of luxury, which the receipt of orders is again causing to become active. Renewed briskness displays itself in the ports, and the arrivals of July have greatly exceeded those of the month of June ; the single port of the canal St. Martin received last month 15,000 tons more than in the previous month. The markets are always abundantly supplied, and the price of bread is within reach of every purse. At the date of our last return, out of 27,301 workmen residing in furnished hotels, 16,925 were in work. At this time, out of 29,074 there :are 20,771 who have employment. The number of workmen remaining inactive is only 8,303 instead of 9,432. The Mont-de-piete from the Bth to the 15th has received in redemption of articles pawned, 314,077 f. ; the sums lent by it amounted only to 306,8201. The number of persons returning to Paris increases progressively—on the Bth by 4,394, and is the last week by 5,974. Instead of 710 foreigners alighting at the hotels, they amount to 765; only 628 have left the capital. In the course of the six days, from 9th to the 16th, 2,615 passports were given to French citizens, of which e 67 were gratuitous, and 560 were granted to foreigners. The prisons on the 14th contained 3,279 ordinary prisoners, and 8,069 implicated in the affair of June. The sanitary state of the prisons is and perfect. Of all those of June three only have died—two from one from a pneumonic affection. From their wounds, the ei t. ty are reduced to gh Simple robtempts npon propeeraverag 9th to the 17th there were eight .suicides. The ateof six a day. Only one attempt beries remain at th sentinel, was wounded by a ball Mobile, while on duty as n hand. The total number of the victims upon the person has been signalised. A soldier of the Garde fired by an unknown of June amounts to 1,415.La5t night a second convoy of 945 prisoners of June was sent off to Havre. The moral and physical state of the men sent away leaves nothing to be desired. Clothes, linen, and shoes were distributed to those who were in want of them before their departure. Their
