THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

We have received the Paris journals of Saturday
and yesterday.
The PRINCE PRESIDENT left Nevers for Moulins
on the 16th, at ten io the morning. At Villeneuve-
sur-Allier, where the Emperor APOLEON bade adieu
to the officers of his guard in 1814, the Mayor, at the
head of the municipal council, several functionaries,
and a number of large landed proprietors, amongst
whom was Count DES Revs, Pcer of France under the
Monarchy of July, received the PRINCE at the en-
trance of the town, under a triumphal arch, bearing
above the device in letters of gold—" Vive l'Empereur !"
"Vive Napol6on II !" The population received the
cortege with the loudest acclamations; and after a
short stay the PRINCE PRESIDENT proceeded on his way
to Moulins.
Moulins is a charming town situated on the banks
of the Allier, in the midst of a fertile plain. The
streets are wide and regular, and several public pro-
menades are planted with trees, reminding one of the
towns in the South of France.
The PRINCE PRESIDENT arrived thereat two o'clock,
and, notwithstanding the rain which fell, his entry
was a complete triumph. An immense concourse of
people from every part of the department of the Allier,
and from the adjoining departments, greeted the
PRINCE with the unanimous cry of " Vive l'Empe-
reur !" The PRINCE proceeded at once to the cathe-
dral, where he was received by the Bishop at the
head of his clergy. Cries of " Vive I'Empereur !"
did not cease being repeated during the filing-off of
the National Guard and of the troops of the garrison.
In all the villages between Nevers and Moulins, the
PRINCE'S carriage was covered with flowers ; triumphal
arches were erected on his passage; the enthusiasm of
the population exc. 'tds all that can be imagined. At
Moulins the PRINCE visited the hospital, and every-
where left marks of his munificence. He went in
the evening to the ball given at the Hotel de Vile.
He opened the ball with the Countess GUYOT, the
wife of the Prefect ; his vis-a-vis was the Prefect and
the wife of the Mayor of Moulins. The PRINCE
was greeted on his passage by the acclamations of an
immense crowd. During the ball, the cry of " Vive
Napoleon !" and still more that of " Vive l'Ernpe-
reur !" burst out several times. The PRINCE with-
drew at ten o'clock, and was accompanied back to
the prefecture by the same cries of enthusiasm. He
left the town at eight o'clock the following morning.
The last accounts of the PRINCE PRESIDENT left
him at St. Etienne on Saturday afternoon. His re-
ception there was magnificent. The cries were " Vive
Napoleon !" " Viva l'Empereur I" The Moniteur is
filled with addresses presented to Louis NAPOLEON
in the course of his tour.
A Lyons journal states that the PRINCE PRESIDENT
will proceed from Valence to Avignon by water.
The steam-boat company called the Parisiens have
received orders to prepare one of their boats for
the 24th.
Another screw line-of-battle-ship was on Thursday
added to the French navy by the launch of the Jean
Bart, of 100 guns, at Lorient, which went off with
the most perfect success, and amidst the enthusiastic
shouts of thousands of spectators.
In consequence of the new organisation of the
Ministry of State, that department is divided into
two services, the division of the Secr4tariat, and that
of Palaces and Manufactures. At the head of the first
is placed M. MONTULLE, who was previously sub-
director. M. Vermeil, who was chef de bureau of
the direction of palaces and manufactures, is appointed
chief of the new division of the same name.

SPAIN.
Our accounts from Madrid are of the 14th inst.
The Gazette publishes the following :
" The Queen has ordered that English vessels should
be considered, in the ports of the peninsula and of the
adjoining islands, as Spanish vessels, with regard to the
payment of harbour and navigation duos, f rom the 2d
inst., the day on which the Government was cfft.iially
informed that Spanish vessels enjoyed the same advan-
tages in the Forts or Great Britain."
Dispatches from the Captain. General of Cuba,
dated the 9th ult., stated that the most perfect tran-
quillity prevailed in that island. Yellow fever had
manifested itself with considerable intensity, and a
few cases of cholera had occurred.
