POSTSCRIPT.
SATURDAY.
In Paris, yesterday, it was reported that M. Jerome Napoleon Bonaparte will come to London, as Envoy Extraordinary, to announce the installation of the President of the Republic. It is stated that the unexpected proceeding of Wednesday was adopted at the express instance of MM. Mold, Thiers, and Changarnier. General Changarnier had obtained information respecting a plot which was formed to seize Louis Napoleon, on his passage from the Assembly to the Palais Elysde Bourbon, and to conduct him to the Tuileries to the cry of " Viva l'Empereur! " He repaired to the Committee on the Presidential election; which, on his information, resolved to make its report immediately, and to urge an instant proclamation. On learning this resolve, General Cavaignac promptly acceded, and placed all the troops in Paris under the command of General Changarnier.
Few members of the Assembly attended at the-sitting on Thursday. General Cavaignac placed himself in the centre of the Right, close to his former colleagues, Messrs. Vivien, Marie, and Lamoriciere. The new Minis- ters entered the hall separately and without any form, and seated themselves on the bench vacated by their predecessors.
The Assembly voted a credit of 2,290,000 francs to defray its own ex- penses during the three first months of 1849, and another of 182,000 franca for the department of Publio Instruction. The President then announced that there would be no public meeting until Tuesday, and invited the Mein. hers to meet on Friday and Saturday in their Bureaux to discuss the elec- toral law and appoint a committee to prepare it.
