THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

We have received the Paris journals of yesterday.

A decree in the 111 oiiiteur fixes the nvniber and com-
position of .the electoral circumscriptions of each de-
partmenll

The Moniteur says—
• As we have already announced, the International Sani.
tary Commission recently held its last sitting, under the
presidency of the Minister of Foreign Affairs, and the nego-
tiation of the collective Convention, which is to consecrate
its labours, has been entered on diplomatically. The Com-
missioners of his Majesty the King of Sardinia, possessing
full powers from their Sovereign, yesterday signed, with the
Marquis Turgot, the Convention, of which the protocol
remains open for the signature of the other contracting par-
ties. The Minister could not do otherwise than congratu-
late himself with the Sardinian Plenipotentiaries on this
first and happy result of a negotiation so profitable to the
commercial and maritime interests of France and her allies.
He also took pleasure in rendering on this occasion
honourable testimony to the special co-operation which he
received from M. de Lesseps, Director of Consulates and of
commercial affairs, whose zeal and enlightenment have
once more, in this affair, justified the confidence of the Go-
vernment."
The Constitutionnel says—
" A rumour has been circulated that the Government
intended to seize on the monoly of the insurance offices.
We are able to affirm that the Government has never con-
templated anything of the kind. It is one of the thousand
false reports which malevolent persons propagate to excite
alarm.'

A letter has been addressed by the Duke DE NE-
MOURS and the Prince DE JOINVILLE to the testamentary
executors of Lorne PHILIPPE, of which the following is
a translation
"TO THE TESTAMENTARY EXECUTORS OF RING LOUIS

PHILIPPE.
" Claremont, Jan. 29, 1832. Gentlemen,—We have re-
ceiveA the protest which you have drawn up against the
decree of confiscation issued against us, and we thank you
very sincerely for your efforts to resist injustice and violence.
We have found it quite natural that you should have
directed your attention specially to the question of law,
without noticing the insults heaped in the preambles of
those decrees on the memory of the King our father. For
a moment we thought of abandoning the reserve which
exileimposes upon us, for the purpose of repelling in
our own persons; the attacks so shamefully cast upon the
best of fathers, arid, we do not fear to add, on the best of
kings. But, on considering the matter more maturely, it
appeared to us that to such imputations a disdainful silence
was the best answer. We will, therefore, not lower our-
selves to point out how particularly odious the calumnies
are, when brought forward by a man who on two different
occasions received proofs of the magnanimity of King Louis
Philippe, and whose family never received anything from
him but benefits'. We leave it to public opinion to do
justice to the words, as well as to the act which accompanies
them ; and if we are to believe; the testimonies cf sym-
pathy which we receive from every side, we are sufficiently
revenged. To the honour of a country to which the King oar
father has given eighteen years of peace, of prosperity. and
of dignity— of a country which we his sons have loyally
served -to the honour of that France which is always the
mother country which we love—we are happy to observe
that these disgraceful decrees, and their still mere disgrace-
ful preambles, have not dared to appear excepting under the
regime of the state of siege, and after the suppression of all
the guarantees which protected the liberties of the nation. In
finishing, we beg of you, gentlemen, to express our warm
feeling ~f gratitui le to the eminent men of all parties who
have offered to ufi the assistance of their talent and their
courage. We accept that assistance with great pleasure, per-
suaded that, in f.o-day defending our cause, they defend the
rights of the wt ole of French society.—Receive, gentlemen,
the assurance of our sentiments of affection.

" LOUIS D'ORLEANS, Duke of Nemours.
" F. D'ORLEANS, Prince of Joinville."
