PASIS , Friday . —The sitting ' , of the _Lsgislative Assembly to day _commenced at the usual honr . M . _Fdvrsau " presented petition-demanding an , appeal to tbe people . M . Leon Faucher announced that the committee ori the Electoral Law would not be _ifsdy-witb their report on the petitions against the liar until to morrow . The debate was resumed upon the Electoral Bill . Articls . 9 excludes , for a _perioddf five years , from the right . pf voting , all persons condemned to more than one month of imprisonment for rebellion , outrages , and violence , against the authorities or public force , for offences specified in the law on _attroupments , and the law on clubs , and fait infractions of the law on

      hawking about articles for sale ; tbe same term of exclusion is visited on soldiers sent for punishment into companies of discipline .. M . Charras proposed to _sappress ' the paragraph applying to the military . His . amendment , having been opposed by M . Aymeand General _d'Hautpoul , was . rejected . . The 9 * article was adopted , with , aa addition of M & f . Moulin and Mortimer Ternanx , applying the exclusion to _persons condemned for outrag ? _s against witnesses orjriries . M . Nettement proposed to extend tbe same disqualification to persons conjicsed of . adultery , or ef keeping a mistress under the conjugal roof , or bf selling adulterated liquors , or of selling by false _wehrht , or of indulging in stock jobbing frauds . This amendment was adopted , as far as related to adultery ; the other UKU were rejected . ' '

      The' succeeding articles were adopted without any discussion of interest , after the rejection of a ot of' amendments proposed by MM . Vaujuas _, _Paupin ,. Cbavoix , St . Romme , aud Larcy . The last of these was highly important , and was only thrown out by an inconsiderable majority . It proposed that every Frenchman of 21 years of age should he entitled to vote at the elections of 1852 provided that he were inscribed on th ? roll of the personal tax , or of the highway duty for 1851 and 1852 , saving the disqualifications specified in the law .

      The first vote , taken by _assiset leve , was doubtful . M . Lajran _^ e proposed to incapaciate from serving-in the army or navy persons disqualified to vote . Numerous voices called for the " previous question . The motion of MM . Levet and de 1 _Espioasse to fine electors who made no use of their franchise , . wasrejected .. On M . Morea ' u ( de ' la Creuse ) -proposing to exempt from taxation all di .-qa 4 _liriid - to ; vote , the previous question was voted . . M . _Larabit . complained tbat tbe vote of uigency reduced to three days only the constitutional right of the President of the Republic to submit the question to a fresh deliberation . The P _« _$ id 4 _t of the Assembly said that the Chamber had no business to interfere in what _caricerned the

      _constitutional prerogative of the President of tbe Republic The . debate on the . separate articles of t _* ie Electoral Liw having closed , at six o ' clock the bal ot cemmenced on tbe ensemble oi the law The result was a 3 follows : — Number of votes ... ... ... 674 : Absolute majority ... .. * ; .. 338 For tbe law ... ..

      General de Grammont has presented to day a proposition for a credit of three millions for the purpose of transferring the . sittings of the National Assembly to Veasailles , as well as the residence of tbe President of the Republic , to date from Oc < oher 1 , 1850 ; and for the appropriation of the palace to this object . The _co'nmitiee . of parliamentary initiative has terminated the examination of propositions recommending the convocation of the councils-general in case ¦ of . aa entente , and transferring to these councils the authority of the central power in cage of a rupture of communications . It recommends the measure to be taken into consideration .

      Saturday . —The ' Daily News correspondent says—The grand blow of the session has been struck . _. The Conservative party bave carried their _Electoral Reform Bill uomutilated through the _Legislature by a majority which has far exceeded their most sanguine . hopes . Their triumph is great accordingly : and the organs of reaction , big and little , insult tbe'carcase ot the _giant _^ Universal Suffrage , whom they deem slain . Was this the th ' mg we feared , say they , this recreant monster , this tame hon , who suffers bis nails to be pared and his teeth to be knocked ont quite passively , merely roaring , without either biting or scratchng . ' Others less confident are apprehensive lest the calm of the many-headed monster be a false ruse , and . hint qu'il fait k mart . . . Certainly if we are to attribute any _sincerity to the appeals made by the leaders of tbe

      _peof'le to abstain from the least showpf violence , tbe tranquillity of Paris is due to anything but a want of will on the part of the provoked to accept the challenge of their taunting adversaries , and come down , as the phrase is , into the street . _To-day there is at the head of the * _Presse , ' printed in large type , an emphatic _address to the most irritated section of the community , imploring them to be calm , and not . to ruin their cause by a precipitate appeal to arms . To the headlong disciples of communism the words of Rohespierre are quoted , lies * eching the citizen * to baffls , by an inflexible adhesion to order , the designs of agitators who _sought their rnin hy stirring them to acts of mutiny . Such continued _exhortations to _patience indicate not less than ire discoveries of tbe police tbe sourd workings of an exasperated party , who are for upsetting the decrees of the Legislature by a fresh revolution .

      The _« Tiaifs * correspondent _sia'es that oh'the evening of Wednesday tbe police _discoverelHn . the quarter St , Martin a secret association _,-composed of about a hundred persons , tbe greater part of whom wvre formerly M . _Lnuij Blanc ' s delegates at the Palace of the Luxembourg during tbe glorious days of the Provisional g < vemment . It was fonnd that these people were in possession of a manufactory of gunpowder and cartridges . Fifty of them were at once arrested , and taken this afternoon to tbe Prefecture of Police . The following additional particulars are also from the pen of au enemy .

      ' in virtue of a special warrant of the Prefect of Police , a commissary of police _represented himselt between nine and ten _< o ' cI _< ick at 37 . Rue Michel U Omte , where , according to information received , a secret society , was accustomed to assemble . In a room on the emresul , lighted hy a lamp suspended from the ceiling , forty-seven persons , nine of tbem females , were _tound seated round the table . Tbe commissary of police declared tbet he arrested them on tbe charge of _boldfng an _unauthorised political meeting . The meeting was presided over by a _bootmaker , and he was _assist ? d by a druggist as vice-president , and by the _celebrated Madame Jeanne Deroin , who it will be remembered , has _figured in

      a great many Socialist banquets , and who presented herself av the general elections as a candidate for the representatbn of tbe department of tbe Seine . Amongst those present were several members of the centralSocialist Cora mittee and of different suppressed clubs , together with delegates of what are called the _fraternal _associations of cooks , hairdressers _, shoemakers , & c . The female part of the meeting , not including Madame Deroin , consisted of two washerwomen , two capmaker ; , two dealers in ready made linen , a midwife , " and a milk dealer . Tbe latter calls herself the directress of the fraternal _assoelation of female milk d * a ! er « , bnt no one except

      herself has ever been seen in her shop . Afterwards a etinuie _snatch made in the apartment led to the discovery of a triangle egalilaire , and of a great number of papers . The president and vice-president admitted tbat that was the third meeting which had been held in the same place , but they pretended thai tbeobj ct was purely commercial ; they , however , admitted thai letters were addressed to the different associations , requesting them to send delegates . From the papers seized , and from the replies to _tr > questions of the commissary , it appeared that the meeting constituted what the law describes as a secret . society , and , accordingly , forty-seven of the persons were conveyed to the Prefecture of Police .

      Monday . —The _« M _oniteur' of this day publishes the new electoral law , which is signed by the President of the _Republic , and countersigned by the Minister of Justice . The report of the committee appointed to esamiae the bill to prolong the time for which the law against the clubs was voted has just been sent in . The committee _declares , that although it is to be hoped that the disorders against which the bill was voted will not recur , still as the peril remains , it is of opinion tbat tbe bill against the clubs cannot be safely rescinded .- The committee alto declares in favour of uigency , as the bill on the clubs will cease to be in force on the 19 th June .

The debate on the third reading of the , Stamp Bill then opened . It was decided that a bill of exchange not stamped , should not , on account of that defect , be entirely null and void . The owner will lose his ' action- against _indorsers , hut he can bring his action against the drawer and acceptor . This was the only interesting result .

      The CaWnet has determined ori the essential points of the repressive measures against the press .

      ITALY ROME . —Complaints have arisen from so many quarters lately of tbe infamous conduct of the sbirri , that tbe government is said to be about to dismiss the whole corps . The carbineers will be increased m the number of 5 . 000 men , and the troops of the line to 15 , 000 . There exists a great hatred between the carbineers and tbeir uninformed . rivals . At the Cafe of St . _Eustacbio , the other night , four sbirri went with a French corporal and six soldiers to arrest five carbineers , who were taking some refreshment after tbeir _palrol , saying tbat carbineers had no business in cafes . The _soim have _bsen extremely active in the environs of Rome since rumours of tbe clandestine return of Masi and

      other republican celebrities have set them all agog , and not a shooting party or a picnic bas been free rom their brutal interruptions . Not a week ago a set of holiday-making Romans , returning from the sea-side near Ostia , stopped to dine in a _capanna or but , on tbe banks of tbe Tiber , and were not a little alarmed to see a dozen men on horseback , wtft levelled guns , surround them , and proceed to a _srtrict examination of their _birtb , parentage , " and condition , allowing them to resume their meal / after a . volley of threats and abnse , ' with what appeite they might . ' To tbe same precautionary measures we must attribute the orders recently 'ssued regarding the gales of the city ,. the less frequented of which are closed at dark , and the others at one hour after .

      It is to be heartily wished that either the French or the sBirri would relax their political persecutions , and pay a little more attention to the internal _se _« enrity of the country . Robberies are agaia O ' 8 uchfrepuent _recuirepce that bo shop or residence
