THE FRENCEI IZEPUBLIC.

We have received the Paris journals of yesterday.
The Moniteur contains a report from M. Ducos,
the Minister of Marine, to the PREFIDENT of the
RePusii", Pointing out the disadvantages attendant
on carrying out the regulation which allows only
first lieutenants in the navy to hold commands at sea.
A decree from the PRESIDENT follows, authorising
second lieutenants also to command in certain cir-
cumstances, after two years' active service.
The Aloniteur also contains a decree deciding that
the superior commission of the mutual aid societies
shall provisionally fulfil the duties of commission for
the calsse de retraites for the aged, as ordered by the
law of June, 1850.
The official organ also declares that the excursion
of the PRESIDENT to Bordeaux cannot take place
before September 15, and gives a contradiction to ru-
mours which, it says, have prevailed, that the Go-
vernment intends to make further changes in the Mi-
nisterial offices.
The Saint Public of Lyons corrects a statement
by the Courrier de Lyon, that the PRESIDENT of the
Republic would be present at the inauguration of the
statue of the Eairxxox in that city on the 25th inst.
It is towards the end of September, says the Salut
Public, that the Chief of the State will visit Lyons,
and that the ceremony in question will take place.
On Monday evening a railway train on the line
from Tours to Orleans took uo at the station of Am-
boise the nephew of ABD-EL KADER and a part of his
amnia, among
whom were several families, Moors and
Negresses, and a certain number of children. They
alighted at Orleans, whence it is supposed they will
proceed by the Centre line towards the coast, en route
for Algeria.
Tne 'Minister of the Interior has just addressed a
circular to the Prefects,
informing them that the
town of Fontainebleau, having been authorized to
erect by suhcription a bronze equestrian statue of the
EMPEIOR in the Cour des Adieux of the Palace, they
are requested to invite the sub-prefects and the
mayors of their respective departments to promote
the subscription to this national work, and to pay
over the sums collected to the receivers-general.
The Baroness DEDEVANT, who is more generally
known by the name of GE sRGE SAND, which she has
assumed as an au,horess, has addressed a letter to
the editor of the Presse, in reply to one from him
announcing the death of Count D'ORSAT. She says
in it—

" My °' (Pair:Aimee with Count d'Orsay was of recant
date. His sphere was the world, mine was retirement.
It was necessary for excep'ional circumstances to occur
for us to become acquainted—and they did occur. He
was kind and devoted like a father, like a brother, to
those who interested me deeply. Henco arose our
friendship, which, having commenced late, seemed to be
desirous of making up f)r lost time. I was attached to
him by gratitude, which is the most serious and the
sweetest of all ties. He pitied the victims of political
tempests, and even on his death-bed, thought of and en-
deavoured to servo them. He was the friend of the un-
fortunate."

The-Bourse showed great firmness, and public securi-
ties recovered considerably from the late depression.
