FRANCE . ; lathe Assembly of -Thursday weekM , LayoND put the questions upon tha imprisoament . oi M . Proudhon . In the last week he sthi citiaea Prondbon bad been confined with the utmost rigour , jwithout being allowed to communicate with any of his friends . His held in his baud tu opinion given by several lawyers , who stated that . the course adopted toward Proudbon was clearly illegal . And be therefore came . forward to ask the ministers to account for the arbitrary proceedings to which the prisoner bad been submitted . . . _;
M . BarR'W , 10 reply , admitted -that a reproach might bs addressed to themdministration for its conduct , feet that such reproach must be that of . too great kniency rather than that of extreme rigour . He would ask the Assembly whether the greatest lenity had not been shown towards M . Proudhon , who , after be bad beea condemned by the Assemble and by the justice of the country , might have been sent to a common prison , but who , instead of this , bed been left in Paris , free to fee visited by all ins
friends . Instead of making use of this toleration he bad continued the very course which had already rendered him amenable to the laws of the country . This state of things had lasted upwards of forty days , when it was at length determined to prevent M . Proudhon from seeing his friends . He had not been placed in solitary confinement , hut placed with other persons suffering punishment like himself . The government had been kind to Mm , and by now withdrawing their kindness they only left him to be
treated as other prisoners . M . Boysset followed , and , amidst many interruptions , quoted a passage from a work written by Louis Napoleon while at Ham , in which he justified lis attempts at Strasbourg and Boulogne by the unpopularity and oppression of the government of Louis Philippe ; He concluded by moving an ordre du jour motive , blaming the conduct of the mi
wsters . After a few words in support of the motion by M . Pierre Leroux , the Chamber negatived it . Paris , Sunday . — The debate in the Assembly yesterday , during which one of the moat decided acts of the present government was discussed , concluded by a vote in favour of the executive . 'Do your worst now , ' said General d'Hautpoul to the members of the mountain ; ' we are ready for you ;' and in this tone he seemed to express a wish that
the dem ocrats might attempt something to enable him to crash them . The fate which attended these questions has convinced the Mountain of their total lack of power in the Assembly j they have therefore determined to sign a protest every time that an unconstitutional question , as they consider it , passes . Thus the' Voix du People' records this morning , that at a conference of the Monntaiu held yesterday , it was determined to place on the bureau of the president a protest against the military organisation of Prance .
In opening the debate on the subject , M . Pascal TJophat commenced by saying that it was no party question that he now dealt with , hut one which was in such close connexion with French institutions , that it was a vital one for all . He denied the right of government to pass the decree without referring so important a matter to the Assembly . He admitted that under the empire , the restoration , arid even the government of July , the military organisa tion of the army had often hern changed by decrees and ordinances , and so undetihe provisional government ; but with regard to the latter , he endeavoured to show that it was the sole governing power at the time that its decrees were passed . These
de-- crees of the empire and successive governments never bad gone so far as those of the present cabinet , and nerer before had France been entirely enveloped , as it was now , by a military system . The Constituent Assembly , when it chang d . the system of great captaincies after the first revolution , bad nought in view but to destroy the great provincial unities which weighed upon the central power . This idea was contained in spirit , if not in words , in the constitution of 1848 . it was from these considerations that he ( M . Pascal Dnprat ) considered the decree of the 12 th inst . as illegal , and in direct opposition to the spirit of the institutions of France . It was a decree which must' be
characterised as highly dangerous , forming as it did a number of new centres , which might become threatening at a future period .- He would ask what were the dangers which the executive meant to guard against by the present measure . He knew that there were departments which caused the government some anxiety ,. hot no one could assert that plots existed all over France to overthrow the republic He could well understand that certain departments should be placed under the care of a military governor-general at a time when elections were pending . But why . extend the circle all over the country ? Why were Reunes and Nantes united under one head , when these towns or these departments sent to the Assembly such men as Denjoy . Hole , de Kerdrel , and Parisis—men who were firm
allies of the government ? "What reason , in fact , could there be for treating Francs as Russia had done Poland , or Austria Hungary ? It . was not fear of insurrec tion that was the cause of this measure , but a desire on the part of the chief of the state ro increase his powerj-hy-pleasing and winning over the army to him , whilst by other means he ruined the authority of the national representation . Here M . Dnprat made allusion to the ' Napoleon , ' the journal which certainly represents the Elysee , and . of which several articles were attacks against the Legislative Assembly . Had not that journal , said he . stated that it only depended oh the republicans that Louis Napoleon should choose the part of his ancle ? A Voice on the Left . —Sonlouque . ( Laughter . )
M . Dopsat ( continuing ) . —Or that of tYashington . Great interruption here ensued , after which M . Dnprat concluded by calling an the majority to defend the institutions of the country . . i M . d'HiirrrouL , in reply , said that his answer would be divided into two parts , involving the question of legality and that of expediency . With regard to the fist poiat in ' consideration , he would say that the territorial divisions created by law had not been disturbed , and that as for the commands given to the generals , there were many cases that he could quote in support of the government measure , when similar appointments had been made , all of them by
decrees ot government . With- regard' to the question of expediency , ( continued M . d'Hautpoul , ) I will tell you that it is very natural for government , which is called on to " watch over the state and constitution , to take under its own responsibility , subject to the approval of the Assembly , all means which prudence may dictate for the purpose of averting misfortane . Far be it from me to seek to create fear , or darken a picture which is but sombre already . Demagogic factions are . everywhere on the move ; . secret societies conspire on all sides in the dark , and seek to insinuate subversive doctrines amongst the people , hoping that they may attain a complete cataclysm ; In this situttiohj gentlemen ,
government mast place itself on its guard . It were inexcusable notio do so ; andiheAssembly would have the Ml right to make it Accountable for neglect . What bave we done in appointing three generals , enless it be t « give more usiiy , more action , and caore rapidity to the - ' movement of troops ? We were desirous chat , if it becaae necessary , these -generals might immediately centralise their troops , and take all the necessary stess . They are not abose the authority of the state , as M . Duprat hinted } and these generals , - who . deserve all our ^ confidence , and wbo have proved by their long career that they were worthy of that-of the country , do not require your : netice to know what their duty
is ; their patriotism , « evotion to our institutions , and love of order -will inspire them in their conduct . I can eoaceive this meesare being unpleasant to certain ' minds , that the men who wish to see' asleep are' « ot pleased at sur precautions , but he convinced of this that the government is on the -watch and wsl not be surprised . The measure that we have takee is not aggressive ., rand does not « ompromise the ieterests of any . one . It , does sot threaten liberty , bnt on tbeconlra-jy strengthens it , if any ili-intentioaed men should raise their haed against it . . All goad citizens moat therefore rejoice . Government and the majority of the Assembly de
sire the same thing , —the maintenance of law , the constitution , public order , and security . It is on this ground that th « gjvern ' meat has taken its S ' and , and it is ' eertaih cf finding support ou these benches where the purest patriotism exist * , Where every one . understands hut duty , and where all are anxious to justify the confideaee iested in thenx by tneir fellOW citizen * . > For ont part we- > tasu hot fail jn the duty of whid , I have < jmt apoken j we shall watch alwaysrwertall remamotf the breach , and BejerreUrewhatever clamour we may hear .

„ _ . 11 . Mouli . ard , the editor of La Liberie , ' has been sentenced by the Court of . Assizes of Paris to imprisonment for three months and to a fine of 2 , 000 f . for having , on the 16 th of January ' , published a seditious libel calculated to excite hatred against the President of the Republic . The . ' . Vols du People' is seized almost daily . The Socialists are displaying the . greatest activity in Paris with a view to the approaching elections . In each arrondissement meetings have taken place , and delegates been appointed . ' These delegates , to the number of fifteen for each arrondissement , are intended to form a central committee , whose duty it will he to examine the chums of candidates , . and
propose them to the Socialist electors ... The delegates have . a busy time of it ; they are . occupied , amongst other thing ? , in examining ' the claims of candidates for the representation of Paris , who declare they have been lately converted to Socialism . The democratic socialist coinmittee intend to bring forward as their candidate ' ih " the Hautesi-Pyrenees M . Daville , son of M- Deville , condemned by the . High Court of-. Justice . . of Versailles ; in the Ariege , M . Pilbes , brother of one of . the persons condemned ; in the . Haute-Loire ; M . F .

Monday . Evening . —At the commencement . of the sitting of the Legislative Assembly to-day , the President ( M . Dupin ) announced that the total amount of credits already voted by the Assembly , for the yf ar 1849 , exceeded the amount of the receipts by no less a sum that 268 , 000 ; 000 fraric 5 . This amouTvccTaeht cieated a great deal of ftBtonishment and agitation on both sides of the house ; upon which M . Dupinapm rose ,. and said that he was
surprised to find that this , announcement had come unespectedly on the members . The fact was that the Assembly had fallen into the habit of voting partial credits , which , though small when taken ' separately , amounted to large " ' sums when united . This communication led to so much agitation and conversation among the members , that it was some time before the regular business could he resumed . The Assembly then proceeded to the adjourned discussion on the Public Instruction Bill . A warm
debate took place as to whether the inspectors of thecoUeges should be nominated by the superior council , er by the Minister of Public Instruction . M . de Parieii ; in the name of the government , contended that the nomination should be made directly by the Minister . M . Thiers ' spoke no less than three times in opposition to M . Parieu , and in favour of the nomination by . the council of the University ... The discussion was one ef the most lively of the session ; but - ultimately the- Assembly decided by a large majority against M . Thiers ; so that the nomination is given to the : Minister ., ; The Left arid a portion of the Centre voted / for the government proposition ; the ' ' Right voted against , it . The result created a great sensation , and is a severe blow tb ; the Church party . The sitting was suspended for a quarter of an hour . - ,. ' .
. 'La Patrie ' . says the government is a good deal occupied with the attitude of the-Socialist party in the east and south of France . A great number of strange workmen have arrived at Lyons under pretence of seeking work . The plan is said , to be to cause disturbances on different points at the same time in order no divide the forces Of the goverement , and . then to strike a blow in some centre . A letter from Nimes states that the operative locksmiths in that town have struck for higher wages . _ ¦ ' " ' ' The idea suggested by ; M . Emile de Girardih of a general illumination . . in' Paris oh the' 24 th February , by all the opponents , of the government , ; has been unanimously rejected by the ; So . malist Clubs , lest the agents of . the police might take advantage of it to create a disturbance . ' .
The ' Moniteur du Soir' states that the Attorney General of the Republic has ordered the' seizure of a ballad , entitled - Uiiheros Cosmopolite . ' A warrant has been issued for the arrest of'M . Constant Arnould , the author . ; .. . ,. / Pauis , TuKDA-it . r-This day a division tookplace on an amendment to the Educatioii Bill proposed by M . Fayolle . to the effect ; that primary- instruction should be obligatory , " and gratuitous for-children o ! both sexes . This amendment was rejected- by 436 to 179 . The House adjourned , at hal ' -past ' six o ' clock "' .
The Minister of Public Instruction has , by decree , suspended M . Emile Descharael , a professor at . the Lycee L . uis-Ve-Gra ' nd , for hayirig ' published ,. in , the last number , of a periodical called -the 'Liberie de Penser , ' an article entitled * Le Catholicisme et le Socialisme , ' : contamihg : attacks . ; onr .

, A demonstration was attempted during the carnival at Tulle ( Cbrreze ;) where the Socialists prepared to parade the streets in costume with chains round their necks and with scythes in their , hands ; The authorities ; interfered ^ and instead of JSO .
