THE FRENCH. REPUBLIC

We have received the P.l:is papers of yesterday.
The Moniteur announces that the ad interim ad-
ministraion of the departments of the Interior and of
Finance, held by M. MAGNE and M. ADBATUCCI, In
the absence of M. DE PEESIGNY and M. BINEAU, is
at an end.

The Illoniteur 'publishes a long table of regulations
(in 45 articles) for the superintendence of sugar
manufac tories, of the Government functionaries, and
for the collection of the sugar duties, in accordance
with the enactments of the decree of Merch 27, 1852.
By decrees of the PRESIDENT a credit of 550,000 f.
is opened to the Minister of the Interior for the ex-
penses of the fete of the 15:h August, and a credit of
40,000 f. for the expenses of the colours of the national
guard.
The Minister of the Interior, M. DE PERSIGNY, re-
turned to Paris from London on Thursday. M. BI•
NEAU, the Minister of Finances, has also returned.
The Pays contains an article pointing out the
strange contradiction between the language now used
by the Times on French affairs, to that which appeared
in that journal on the Ist of December, 1851, on the
very eve of the coup dela t. It says-
6, We yesterday said that the English press, part of
which now reproach the President with so much violence
and passion for the revolution of December, was the first,
no the very eva of the coup cr.etat which delivered France
from the red spectre, to advise him to renew the 18th
Brumaire. We find, iu fa3t, in the Times of the Ist of
December, 1851, which rz•nched Paris on the very day
when the proclamation of Louis Napoleon had just been
posted on the wails, a complete and explicit approbation
ar.d absolution of this same act of patriotism and salva-
tion which now so warmly excites the anger and hatred
cf the English journal."

The Pays here gives the *,rticie in question, but
which we now only give the concluding paragraph,
point out the argument of the Pays. It runs
,hus:—

-6 No nation can be consigned to cnarchy by some
contrivance Of Asurc.'ity, which it is beyond the power of
mea to altr; and if the law itself affords no remedy in
such a predicament, the course of events will be arrested
by seine violent scspension of the law—that .i..:, by a re-
volution. If such a measure be dictated by an impera-
tive necessity it would claim a bill of indemnity from the
suffrages et the nation.'
-

" On that day (continues the Pays) the Times was en-
dowed with the gift of divination; it was a prophet. How
can it now blame after the fact which it approved be-
forehand? Its hatred and jealousy against France sud-
denly enlightened on the future results of the revolution
of December, for the greatness and the prosperity of,our
country, can alone explain the strange change in its lan-
guage.'
General DE ST. ARNAUD, the Minister of War, has
published a note, declaring that for the future, in all
' agreements made with contractors for matters which
concern the war department, a clause is to be inserted,
declaring that no works are to be executed on Sundays
and holidays.
The Constitutionnel gives the following account of
the working of the electric telegraph :
" The service of the electric telegraph has been for
some time completely organised and at work throughout
the whole line from Paris to Strasburg. This new line
is connected at Kehl to that of the Grand Duchy of
Baden, which in its turn joins the general network of
German lines at Burachel, so that now the telegrnphic,
dispatches, not only from rho north of France, but from a
part of Belgium and all England, for the centre and south
of Germany, as well as for Italy, need no longer pass
by the Austro-German lines but by Strasburg, which
is the most direct and the shortest route. Although
in some measure distance is not to be much taken
rasburg
into account as far as regards electricity, yet there is
l from the '
, the FreTnchhe
every advantage in crder to obtain celerity in transmis-
sions in following the Strasburg line. This may be
readily understood. From Brussels to Vienna v;(2

latter did not reach until the following evening, being a
delay of 24 hours by the German line. It is true that
the dispatch
by Germany coat from five to six francs less
than that by way of France. The competition which
Germany seeks to make for the transit of the electric
telegraph dispatches will not be more successful than
that with regard to the India mail. Strasburg and Mar-
seilles will remain from the advantages inherent to their
positions the two points of paleage, the former for tele• i
graphic dispatches, and the ether for the transmission of
the mails. If, as it has been announced, a convention iBl

in contemplation between France, Belgium, and Ger-
many for working the electric telegraph, it will give an
opportunity for settling about the charges, by means of
which the Austro-German Teleerephic Associa
seeks to prevent pereens using the French lines for their
dispatches."
