NO. 5490 AFFAIRS IN EUROPE. TUMULTUOUS AND EXCITING DEBATE IN TRE New National Assembly of France. Our French Correspondene: Panis, May 31, 1849. Important Events in France—Opening of the New Na- tional Assembly—The Position of Partwes—The Ma- eready Riot—The Scene in the Assembly—vAspect of Affairs - The New Ministry, $e. This week has formed an important epoch in the history of the year 1849, being sigualised by the in- stallation and inauguration of the first Legislative Assembly, elected by universal suifrage, and conyoked under the authority of the constitution. I say the first, because you must remember that the last was not @ legislative, but a constituent Assembly, and it was not convoked regularly under any constitution, but by the dictam of the despotic power exercised by the Provisioua Gorernment, which reigned after the eonvulsien of Fekxeary, During the last week, the most sinister forebodings prevailed; and, if the event has not realtzed them, they were not che less well founded. We now know that we are trembling on the brink of another revo- lution; or, at least, of something as nearly approaching as the present revolutionary times would admit of. On Tuesday, the 224, all was prepared for it, and nothing but the most extreme diligence on the part of the government, and a favorable combination of circumstances, prevented it. The project of the party of Montagnards was to annul the eleetions—to declare the Assembly a convention, and later to dis- solve it by some revolutionary expedient, and thus to seize the rcins of power. All these projects have fallen to the ground. On Saturday and Sunday, the most extreme precautions were taken by the authorities and the Montagnards saw their visions vanish, one by one, like the ehadesof the kings evoked by the witches of Macbeth, ‘The Legislative Assemb!y mot on Monday, without further impediment. Nevertheless, an attempt was made by the rabble, in which, however, none of the lead- ers presented themselves. The ostensible object was to eompel the Assembly to proclaim the Republic again from the peristyle of the Chamber. The troops were call- od out, and the mob was very gently, but firmly, pushed away by the breasts of the cavalry horses. Squads fof dragoons, accompanied by scriens de villa, advanced ateadily along all the principal streets abutting on the Chamber, pushing before them the crowd. In an hour the environs of the Chamber were completely cleared, and the vociferations of the populace, re:aoved to a dis- tance of more than a quarter of @ mile on every side, no longer disturbed the Representatives, The first act of the Chamber demonstrated tho strange reactionary tendency of the great majority of its memb This was the election of the President of the Bureaux. You will recellect that the Chamber is resolved into 15 sections, or committees, called Bureaux, each consisting of 50 members. Each bureau meets ily in a separate room, and deliberates apart from the rest of the Assembly. All questions of importance which are brought before the Chamber first undergo a deliberation in the bureaux.asort of preparatory decl- sion, previous to the discussionin the Chamber. In this ‘way many of them fall to the ground, by rendering it evident that they cannot be successful in the Chamber. Each of these bureaux, ence a month, dat- ing from tho opening of the Chamber, elects a Pre- sident and Secretary, and the political character of these officers is taken as an indication of the opinions of the majority of the bureaux respectively. In the present case, the Presidents have been selected by ma- jorities, more or less considerable, from the reaction- ary party, with only one or two exceptions. They aro as follows : I'reridents—MM. Molé de Pouat, Marshal Bugeaud. General Bedeau, Baroche, Dupin, De Remu- sat, Gouin, Duc de Broglie, Thiers, Quentin, Bauchart, Mauguin, Francis Arago, and General Cavaignac. Se- oreturies—MM. de Larcy, Berard, Gasloude, Victor Lefranc, Poujolat, De Merode, Emile Leroux, Mortimer Ternaux, Talhouet, Hippolyte Fortout, De Laboulie, Fresneau, Le Verricr, and Payer, are of the bureaux not having yet completed their elections. You will see that this list inclades the chief representatives of the monarchical and reactionary parties. ‘The first division indicating the relative strength of parties, took place in the new Assembly on Tuesday, ona question as to the validity of one of the elections, which was attempted to be set aside on the pleaof the undue influence produced by the celebrated telegraphic despatch of M. Leon Faucher, which was alleged to have deprived the ultra democratic party of some thousands of votes, This decision defined pretty fair- ly the strength of the socialists, of every hue. It ap. ared that they mustered on the occasion 179 voter Rat aliwttg (or Govadiocal aowaatéstoa Chey minyl pers haps be stated at 200. This tis rather belew the pre- vious estimates, The members of the National Assembly have already ‘Degan to form the several political clubs, or, as you ‘would call them in America, “ caucuses,” for prepar- ing beforehand the measures intended to be taken in . They embled in three distinct re he first and largest is that which was formerly @alled the reunion of the Rue de Poitier. It sssembled on ‘Tuesday, when Count Molé was called to the chair, and a committee was formed. consisting of the Duc de Broglie. (Marshal Bugeaud, Count Mole, MM. Thiers, ‘and Berryer, for the purpose of recommending to the meeting the names of candidates to be proposed ia the Assembly for the offices of president, vice presi- dent, and secretaries. ‘The number of members who sitended this meeting. which was also held in the Rue de Poitier. on this ocgasion. was above 300; aud as @ considerable number beve not yet arrived in Paris, and others were accidentally absent, the total number of the party forming that reunion may, perhaps, be Sairly stated’ at 400. Another club of the moderate party, of rather more democratic complexion, has been formed under the auspices of M. Dufaure, and has commenced its mevt- ings in the salons of the Restaurateur Lemardelay. The wumber who attended on the present occasion was Ddetween 70 and 80; but this reunion may be taken, when complete, ut ubout 100. M, Dutaure is president, Gen, Bedenu and M. Paiilet, vice presidents, and M. Peupin aud Ovcar Lafayette. seccetaries. It is proba- ble that Gen. Cavaiguac, and the few membors of the Astembly who hold the lato politics of the National, will join this reunion. The party of the Mountain has of course also re-as- sembledits membere, under the Presidency of M. Ledru Rollin, Lamenais, Baune and Deville, MM. Bertheton, Pelietior, Ratticr, aud Cormmissal aries Serjeant Balchot surer; aad s This party has agreed to propose M. Ledvu Rollin as President of the \ssembly, Mui. Lanemenais, Felix Pyat, Mathieu (de la Drome) Deville, Buune and Boichot. as Vice Presidents; M G bur, Bertholon, Pelletier, Wadaud Jules Leroux and Commu issaires, as Secretaries; end MM. Brives, Marc Dupaicse and Nattier, as Ques- tors. It ia worthy of note in reference to the proceedings of the Montagnards that they bave taken e«pecial care to caress the lower members of the army, who have Deen elected into the Asvembly. Thus Serjeant Boi- ehot is proposed axa Vice President of the Assembly, and is Treasurer of the reunion of the Mountain In like manner Serjeants Rattier and Commussaire are Sceretaries of the re-unioa of the Mountain, iu which the latter is to be propored ay Secretary of the As- sembly, and the former as one of the Questors. The policy of the Mountain is evidentiy to wheedle the arm: y: It is above all things necessary. in reading our French polities, that your readers should remember that the democratic parcy, or the party ot the Montaguacds Bere, means what you call in Anierica Fourierism; @ name, aliiough of French origin, altogether shandoned here.

A reene took place fn the new Legisiative Assembly yesterday, which brought the country to the very verge of another revolution. Indeed, the Assembly was on the point of being utterly disorganised and dissolved. — = drevs the house on the subject of achange which had been made in the office of commander of the troops ia charge of the Assem! the president, M. Seats ad- dressed to him some observations, at which M. Ledru Rollin took offence. He descended, and declared that the President had insulted him aod his party, and that the tribune was not free, This produced a scene of con- furion and tumult which it is utterly impossible to des- cribe, The entire party of the mountain rose from their seats, and shouted and yelled in the most terrific manner, gesticulating against the aged President (M. Keratry is 84) taxing him with being in decrepitude, caliing him fool and an imbecile, and using menacing gestures with their fists directed to him. The secre- taries, with one exception, who happened to be all of the Montagnard party, descended from their places, and resigned thelr offices, joining M, Ledru Rollin, nd denouncing the President. The bureau of the Arscmbly was thus for the moment disorganized, and the uproar and confusion became worse than ever. M. O, Barrot, President of the Council, ascended the tribune, and endeavored in vain to obtain a hearing. Each time that he attempted to speak, his voice was drowned in an indeseribable uproar. Groups of mem- bers left the house, and. for & moment. it seemed as if the Assembly were about to dissolve itself. The re- port given im the journals can convey no idea of the terrible scene which was presented, nor of the dismay with which the spectators were struck. It seemed as though a new revolution way on the point of com- mencing, god many imagined that the Montagnards were about to descend into the streets, and raise the populace, after a considerable time, and when the lungs of the Mountaia weve fatigued with bellowing, a degree ofsilepee was obtained, when the Presiduat ayailed bimeclt of the opportunity of saying that if any- thing he bad uttered gave reasonable cause of be 1 withdrew it. This satisied M, Ledra in the meanwhile, the vacant seats of the dbeen filled, by order of the President, by as wavy members next in order of juniority to those who had retired; and ihe-question 6, whether the original Si cretarivs, Who had resigned, should not be allowed to iesume their places, {his produced another ecnilictand uproar, almost as bad ss the former, At length Marshal Bugeaud interposed, and restored order and Ganquillity by proposing, with the support of the majority, that the original Seeretaries should be allow- ed to retract theirreeignations and resume their places. And s0 the affair ended, We feel, however, that we are standing on a mine, and that the slightest spark may at any moment cause itto explode. ‘Chere isa great majority for order in the Assembly, it is true, and likely to be more compact than was expected; but.on the other hand. the mi- uorily far exceeds, in violence, the minority Q the former Assembly. 1 mentioned above that the moderate party has split into two sections, the less numerous of which were con- yoked under the presidency of M. Dufaure. An effort is now, however. being made to bring about a reconcilia- tion, s0 as to combine the whole party, M Molé has opeaed a communication with M. Dutaure, and hopes are entertained that, by mutual concessions, the two parties will coalesce. Such a step will no doubt be grcatly facilitated and expedited by the scene of yes- Yerday, which has filled «'l the parties of order with dirmay. As an indication of t! » utter mistrust which pre- vails threug bout the country, | have to mention a tact which has not yet transpired, but upon the accuracy of which you may rely. I have formerly mentioned that the gréat exhibition of the products of French industry, which takes place every fourth year, has been prepare for the present year, ‘and was to have opened to-mor- row. The grand square in the Champ Elysées has been covered with buildings at an enormous expense tor this exhibition, and it was expected that an immense con- course of visiters would be attracted by it from all parte of Europe. Notices were issued for the reception of the objects to be exposed, including all the produe- tions of the mechanical arts and of agriculture, and even an exporition of vegetable and animal produc- tions, Now the fuct is, that this great national exhi- bition is about to tail. ‘whe directors huve been wait- ing anxiously for the arrival of the objects of exposi- tion; but, alag! almost none have arrived. ‘The manufacturers and producers in all parts of the coun- try have informed the directors, that they cannot yen- ture to send their property to Parisat the risk of de- struction by insurrection, plunder and fire, Some things have arrived, but they are gencrally of such ® nature as to be least liable to injury or loss, Under these circumstances, at the eleventh hour.a notice bas been issued, that the ee of (he exhibition will be postponed until the 16th, Tus has been done in the faint hope that im this brief delay confidence may be restored and preducers and manufacturers be in- duced to #eD¢ up a sufficiency of the objects of exhibi- nt | learn from private sources, that the govern- together despairs of this, and the scene of yes- terday alone may be sufficient to remove all hops of this Kind. In fact, the result will, doubtless, be that the exhibition must be altogether postponed for the resent year The temporory buildings which have Been erected at so much cost, will, I presume, be al- lowed to stand, and the exposition will be postponed until the summer of 1850. P. 8.—Five o'clock, The new ministry isjust an- nounced. It is thus composed:—President of Council, M. O. Barrot; Interior, M. Dufaure; War, Generai Bue d; Foreign Affuirs, M. Bechard; Justice, Vavin; fi ce, H. Pasey; Commerce, Larabit; Instruction, ‘Tecqueville; Publie Works,De Versigny; Marine, Admiral Cecille; Police, Rebillot. Paris, May 31, 1849. The Bourse and Money Market. To day isan awful epoch at the bourse, and I have accordingly made arrangements by which I shall have information, before closing this letter, of the manner in which the settlement, which will be made to-morrow, is likely to come off. The most serious apprehensions are entertained—indeed, so great has been the alarm among the brokers, that many of the most prudent have, for the last eight days, refused to undertake any time bargains for their elients, however respectable and apparently entitled to confidence, One of the principal causes of the sudden decline in the market of the 2ist, and which had not become #0 palpable at the date of my last report—a decline simi- Jar to which nothing had occurred since the revolu- tion of February, was this: The holders in many de- partments in which the socialists had obtained @ ma: jority, excited by their apprehensions that the same results were common to all France, immediately sent orders to their brokers to sell, and these arrived in such quick succession and {n such numbers, that it was importible to find purchasers, Unfortunately: events in Paris only made the evil greater; the bourse was unable to sustain the shock, and speculators, far from staying the panic and reassuring the market by coming to its aid by purchases, were already so over- loaded as to be unable to take any more stock; but on the contrary found it more to their interest to turn from bulls to bears. and, in the hope of eovering their pull transactions, to sell large It was evident panic. would find a reaction so soon as its dered. So in truth bas it happened: The holders in the de- partments, who had been so much alarmed by the 40- cialist clections, became re-assured when they found matters not eo bad. and orders to buy are accordingly arriving pretty freely, Previous prices, however, have not yet bern attained. The violent debates in the constitaent Assembly, the revolutionary measures at- tributed to its dying members. the popular demonstra- tione, though not very numerous, alarming, made in the environs of the chamber, the M. Ledru Rollin having ascended the tribune to ad- a) 'y to foresee that a fall brought about by an | SUNDAY MORNING, JUNE 1 1849, I propose that Colonel Ambert’s letter be read. (¥¢ es!

Menanr wished to draw the attention of the As- sembly to the fact that the National Guard of Chiilons- sur-Sadne had been dissolved. (Oh, oh! The order of the day!) He had to demand permission to address interpellations to the government on the subject. (Loud assent on the left. M. Laccosse, Minister of the Interior ad interim, re- plied that he found himself obliged to oppose the de- mand just made, as being unsuited to the present mo- ment. (Murmurs on the left.)

(Disappro- bation on the left.) ‘The matter then dropped.

(Murmurs) He considered the conduct of the councils-general in the late elections to have been highly reprehensible, (Hear. hear, on the left.) He should, in consequence, propose that all the documents annexed to the proces rerbaur should be referred to the Ministers of Justice and of the Interior, with a view to ascertaining whether a blame ovght not to be applied to such bodies. (Ob, oh! Agi- tation M. asics neaw must correct an error into which the hon. gentleman had, no doubt, involuntarily fallen in attributing an interference in the elections to the councils-general as public bodies, All that the mem- bers composing them had done was to take part in the elections as private individuals and electors, (“No no! more than that!’ on the left.) M. Nort. Panrait (a very young representative, re- turned for the Eure-et-Loiré, and lately a newspaper reporter in the gallery.) said—1 ascend the tribune to second the application just made by M. Bourzat to have measures taken to affix a blame on the councils. gene- ral for their conduet in the elections. 1 say that not only have these bodies improperly interfered in the late elections, but that other pubile functionaries have acted ina similar manner.

The hon. man then read the letter in question, in which th fect expressed his satisfaction that the members of the ecuncil- general had in the present grave circumstances determincd to join the central committee, which could not but be all the stronger from the co-operation of that body. (Voices on the right, Well. what is there in all that?”) The letter concluded by recommending that men in favor of order and public liberty should be returned. “I find the sense of this letter, pursued M.

Beauchene, (de Romorantin) ought to form part of the list of candidates supported by the govern- ment; in therceond, the prefect replied, that the eau- didate in question did not form part of the list which had been sent, and which the mayor ought to endeavor to make successful If, continued M, Cantagrel, { had the honor, or rather the misfort to be Minister of the Interlor—(“ oh? oh!"

The Prestvent. having proceeded to the counter-trial, declared the order of the day to be carried, and the in- cident terminated. ‘The Assembly then resumed the reports on the tion returns. Those of the Mayenne, Meurthe, Meuse, Morbihan, and Moselle were all validated, When the report on the election of the Niivre was brought torward, M. Gamron complained that some of his friends. hay- ing published a letter in which he had spokyn of the roposition to impeach the ministry, and of the repab- ic being proclaimed at Dresden, were now subject to lec~ | prorecution; he wished to learn why the authors of the caures could be discovered and d'xpassionately consi: | }, following placard had not als been proceeded against, The hon. gentleman here read the paper, which declared that the proposition of impeachment had been re by a large majority, (Laughter.) _Yorers on the left—Well, what is thero wrong in all that M.

Lactaupene complained that not a word could be heard of what was raid. What he asked, was the use cf reading over the minates of the preceding sitting if it was not for the purpose of allowing everything to be heard by the Assembly? (Cries of “Enough, enough!)
