THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

We have received the Paris journals of yesterday.
Their leading columns are very barren of interest.
The Constitutionnel has an article on the overthrow of
RosAs, in which it says:—
" In 1845, when France and England decided to act
together against Rosas, Brazil was for a moment ad-
mitted into the alliance. Afterwards, the two great
Powers determined not to avail themselves of the co-ope-
ration of Brazil, but to act by themselves. It was not,
however, without their being informed of the services
which their auxiliary could render them. One of the
in rat witty diplomatists of Brazil even said to Lord
Aberdeen, Beware what son are doing; remember the
fable of the lion and the mouse.' L rd Aberdeen paid
no attention to the warning, and perhaps he has often
since regretted not having done so. Were the two lions
failed, the patience of the mouse has succeeded. Eng-
land and France could obtain nothing from Rosas, and
from the very beginning Rosas put aside the really
grave point of the matter—the fr.( e navigation of the
rivers, declaring that the treaty oi Vi: ina did not con-
cern him. Thanks to the new situation which row arises
from the fall of Roses, South America will make her
own treaty of Vienna for the navigation of the rivets,
and that is better than all the conventions that could
have been imposed on her by force of arms; for the
Young American natives do not like to see foreign powers
taking part in her affairs, and they will execute those
stipulations the more freely that they freely consent to
them."
The Moniteur states that up to the evening of the
23d the applications for reimbursement of the Five
per Cents., registered at Paris, and those of which
the departments had given notice, only amounted to
the number of 130, representing 34,843 francs of

rente.
The opposition candidate, M. HENON, has been re-
turned at Lyons.
Railway interests appear to be much looked
after at present in France. A decree of the
PRESIDENT of the Republic convokes the Coun-
cil General of the Seise-Inl erieure for the
24th inst., to deliberate on different questions
relative to the execution of the railway from Paris
to Cherbourg, and other important affairs to be sub-
mitted to it by the Prefect of the department. The
Municipal Council of Auxonne has voted a sum of
. 150,000 f. to be disposed of in the purchase of shares
• 'in the railway from Dijon to Besancon; and the
Council- General of the departmeLt of Calvados has
Voted a million for the execution of the railway from
?aria to °herbal:mg, of- which sum-J00,0017f. life-dr=
propriettd to the section from Paris to Caen, and
500,000 f. to that from Caen to Cherbourg. The
Council-General offers besides a subvention of a mil-
' lion for the branch line to Medzion, in case the Go-
- Yernment should determine to have it executed.
Admiral DUCREST DE VILLENEUVE died on Tues-
• day in Paris, of an attack of apoplexy. The funeral
service will take place to-morrow morning, at eleven
o'clock, at the church of the Madeleine.
A steamer arrived on Monday at Havre, from
Dlorlaix, having on board 36 prisoners, who had been
released from the Duguesclin, on condition of their
proceeding to a foreign country, which would be fixed
on as their place of exile. Among them are MM.
XAVIER DURRIEU and DE KEGLER, ex-editors of the
Revolution; LACHAMBAUDIE, an author of fables;
GARAUD, a statuary ; GUERIN, a chemist ; PAULUS,
IELAVILLE, A. LEMAITRE, E. LEMAITRE, AGARD,

:The Emancipation of Brussels states that Count
B IIAUSSONTILLE and M. ALEXANDRE THOMAS, On
leaving the Court of Assizes, after their acquittal,
Were cheered by the people outside. Orders were
immediately given to them by the Government to
leave Belgium.
The Emancipation of Brussels gives the following
communication from a correspondent :-- L' A young
Journalist showed me a letter of a very rare cbarac-
. ter, and which does the greatest honour to its writer,
M. DR MORNT. One day this journalist publighed
an extract from a Belgian journal, which contained a
, high eulogium on the Minister. M. DI. MOUNT im-
mediately wrote the following letter :—` Monsieur,—
When the authorities do not permit criticism, they
ought not to allow eulogium ; have the kindness,
therefore, for the future, not to publish anything
relative to me.' "
M. TURGOT, Minister of Foreign Affairs, and M.
BE MAUPAS, the Minister of Police, have been pro-
rooted to the grade of Commander of the Legion of
ti.onour.
According to the Patric, M. VATIN, charged to
Wind up the affairs of the Civil List of King Louis
rHILIPPE, states in his report on the subject, that
. the destruction of porcelain in the pillage of the Pa-
141s Royal and the Palace of Neuilly, in 1848, was
In considerable that not less than 10,8841..50c. were
Obtained from the manufactory of Sevres, for the gold
013 the broken pieces collected.
A great number of beggars have for some time
Pas t occupied a large house in the Quarter de la
epiniere, and have formed amongst themselves a
'Fraternal Association" for duping the public. Some
Went into the streets, and pretended to be labouring
under severe infirmities, others hired children and
. Passed them off as their own, others visited respecta-
ble people in their own houses, an Englishwoman
specially confined her labours to the English com-
munity, a degraded ecclesiastic victimised the clergy,
and some of the band remained at home to manutac-
Lore begging letters and petitions. The money which
W 55 collected, amounting to a considerable 1011111 daily,
Was carried to a common fund, out of which the house
Was kept. Every evening the whole band dined to-
gether in good style, and, it seems, amused them-
,elves_, in drinking toasts to their dupes. On Tues-
day the police put an end to the operations of the
band by arresting the whole of them just as they were
about to sit down to dinner. Tney were carried off
to the Prefecture of Police.
Government securities were firm at the Bourse, but
'here was not much business transacted. Railway
shares were heavy. The Five per Cents. opened at
100 f. 25e., and closed at 1001. 40c. for the end of the
