LATEST FROM PARIS.

The Times Office, Tuesday Morning, June 13. The IWis papers published yesterday, hnve reached us by express Among them \i a new one, the title of which is significant— Le Napoleonian. Paiiswas perfectly tranquil up to the departure of our express. The night of Sunday passed over without any disorder, and even without any attfimtrt. to form on attroupmmf . The Razzai of Saturday night appeared to have intimidated the ill-disposed and to have entirely allayed curiosity. The Porte S\ Denifi olid the Porte St. M>min, were perfectly fiee from crowd or tumult on Sunilav night. More than l,C()0 pei6on* were arrested on Saturday nig;lit, uraongit whom were two representatives of the people AI! were swept off to the Prefcture of Police, where they remained until Sunday morning, when most of them were discharged. It was remarked that the National Guard-, instead of complaining of the extra service imposed on them by those assemblages, repaired with alacrity to their respective maiiies, anxious by a vigorous onset to abate tbe iiuißancc. The apprehended banquet of fiv<> song per head, ws» not to take place yesterday, but the Government were well prepared to meet it had it not been postponed.— Paris was filled with troops of the line, and all the villages round wpre crowded with regiments of cavalry and iufantry. The Chateau and Fort of Vincennes overflow with artillery and soldiers ot the line. Thus no fear existed of any teriout popular movement.— Moreover, the members ef the government were un* deritood to be better and more united than they had been. M. M. Lamartine and Ledru RoUin had complained of symptoms of disapprobation of their conduct in certain portions of the Assembly, and even id the Executive Commission itself, and declared that unless those indications were made to disappeai , they would resign. Very long conferences consequently took place on Fiiday and Saturday lust, which resulted in an engagement on the part of M. M. Arago, Marie, and Gamier Pages, that the Assembly ihould be held to display more energy than hitherto, and that they themselves would cordially co«operate with M. M. Lamartine and Ledru Rollin, in imparting more of ioice and deciiion to the acts of Government. It was believed thai- the question ramed by the dec* tion of Prince Louis Napoleon would not come on for discussion in the National Assembly before this day. The Assembly was to be occupied yesterday by the demand of the Executive Commission (Government) of IOO.OOOf. per month for its expense!. Some of the lepresentatives had threatened to oppose the grant as extesiive, but the Executive Commission resolved unanimously on Sunday to make the matter a Cab neC question, and to jetire en masse, were it curtailed in even the slightest degree. The National states that the question of confidence in the National Assembly has been rai ed by co.nraou consent between Uie Executive Government and the Assembly. The numbers of the Executive Government considered It their duty, ni cons quenee o" cer« tain significant manifestations, to lake the sensr, of the nation*' lepresentatives on a decisive question. The NatiJifal is of opinion that the Assembly, without approving all the acts of tha Executive Government, may, and outfit to accord the vote of confidence demanded. The Minister of War has been adapting measures at once wise, active, and energetic. The papers before us show that numerous promotions have taken place in the French army. 243 pupils ot the military school of J'aint Cyr have beeu appointed second-iieutenanti in the ii fantry of the line, and 53 in the cavaly. Two lieutenant-colonels of the line l.aye been raised to the rank of eoloncl ; four majors to that of lieu't-colonel, and four captains to the rank of major. 258 noncommissioned offkers of inlantry have been promoted to the rank of second-lifutenent, and 64 non-commi*. sioned officeis of cavalry have obtained a similar rank. In consequence uT the proposed addition of a battalion to each regiment oi the line, 300 captains, 300 lieutenants, and 800 second- I leutanants, will receive promo ion. All the letters received from Algeria describe the Arabs as preparing for vi'iu, great movement. They receive with avidity the news from France, and when* ever any troops are embarked on their letum home they endeavour to count their number.
