to the thanks and gratitude of the community.
In the olden time he would have been rewarded for

engaged in the cultivation of the soil.

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

we have received the Paris journals of yesterday.

The fetes at Strasburg continue to be the sole sub-
ject of attention. The PRINCE PRESIDEIST iS EA
pleased with the enthusiasm of his reception, that he
postpones his departure till to-day (Thursday). He
will pass the night at Nancy, and arrive iu Paris
on Friday evening. A more rapturous welcome has
never been accorded to any personage.
On the evening of Monday, after the review, the
PRINCE PRESIDENT gave a grand dinner of seventy
covers to the principal officers who had taken part ill
the military operations of the day. He afterwards
went to the ball offered by the town, which was of a
most splendid description, and danced with one of
the seven young village girls, who the day before,
at the procession of the peasants, had presented him
young with a basket of flowers. To each of these

women the PRINCE had ordered a jewel of value to
be presented from him ns a remembrance, and to
the one who had spoken a short compliment to
him on that occasion, he now did the honour of
making her his partner in a quadrille. The PRINCE
withdrew at eleven o'clock, but dancing was kept up
with spirit for several hours later.
The PRINCE PRESIDENT of the Republic has con-
ferred the cross of Commander of the Legion of
Honour on Count DE SEGUE, president of the board
of directors ; the cross of Officer on M. VUIGNER,
engineer in chief of the company ; and the cross of
Chevalier on M. LEMOINNE, engineer, who drove the
engine of the Presidential train ; M. DUTHOUX, ordi-
nary engineer, first class; D 7. JACQUINE,
engineer in
chief, who directed the works of the fourth section ;
and on M. HALLOPEAU, chief of the working of the
line.

We find the following in the Debats :
"We are assured that soon after his return from
Strasburg the Prince President will make a slight modi-
fication in his Ministry. M. Drouyn
President cf the Senate, will, it is do Lhuys, Vice
said, be named Mi-
nister of Foreign Affairs; M. Turgot will become Mi-
nister of State;
Public Works in the roam of M. Lefebvre-Durufle; M.
M. Magne will bo named Minister of
de Casabianca will bo President of the Section of
Public Work 3 at the Council of State in the room of M.
Magee, and M. Lefcbvrel)uruflei, will be made a mem-
ber of the Senate."
The Algiers journals announce that the expedi-
tion of General MONTIUB4N on the frontiers of
Morocco had terminated, and been crowned with
complete success. The hostile tribes had made
their submission after soliciting the mediation of the
EMPEROR, in the hope of obtaining better terms.
The Constitutionnel has an article on railroads, in
which it recommends, now that the great lines are
nearly completed, that the secondary lines shall be
undertaken, but with great re g y small amount of
and to economy, in
order that with a compa
capital this mode of communication in France may
become general. The Constitutionnel refers to what
has taken place in other countries, to show that it is
possible to construct railroads at a much lower rate
per league than has been expended on the great lines
in France, where enormous sums have been absorbed
by stations and works of architecture, which were nut
absolutely necessary, but which on lines of great
traffic, and likely
to make large returns, were more
than excusable.
