The Paris papers of Saturday state that the French Court
has altered its design of presenting the infant Prince to the Chamber, or of altering his title from Count of Paris to Duke of Orleans.
The Odillon Barrot or Gauche party, deeming it requisite to be ready and prepared for any events that may happen have issued a circular, addressed to the Electoral Committees in the Provinces, and, under the pretext of watching over the lists of votes yearly prepared for the Col- leges, have advised the permanent establishment of those Committees ; "which are," says the Morning Post, "nothing more nor less than re- volutionary juntas of safety."
The National mentions extraordinary precautions taken by the mili- tary authorities of Paris. The troops are ordered to remain in their barracks ; and general officers are seen, both day and night, inspecting the military posts, and ascertaining that the orders of the day are properly obeyed. The Commerce says, that within the last few days orders have been given to hasten the construction of the fortifications of Paris.
