THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

We have rec'eired the niris journals of Yesterd:ty.
The CoOtittitionnel has kept its preini4 to corn,
meat upon the letters of Generals OniNG AMMER and
DE LAMOKICIERE. In the number'of yesterday there
is nearly a rive on .the subject from the pen cf
GRANTEE DE CASEAG SAC. The greater 'part of the'article,
ooneists of a
,review of the military career
of General ,Cuikr;QA-autnt, which is made with a view
.to show that he is not the able man -that-he - desires
the world to imagine he- is.„lu_ the. concluding portion
of the article tire some sharp observa;ions. Itl. GRA-'

political pereonages, to' wbene he proposed to arrest
Louis Napoleon and to send him to Vince: mica ; to shut
tip the Legi-latire Palace, by proroguieg the Astemi:iy
for six rnoLtili; cud to assume himialt the. dictatorship.
AMonest, the persOns :thus convoked nen& present *4B
Melia, W.° refused to take part in -Eueh treason,
and who immediately informed the heed cf the State ( f
what had taken place. These three fate, perfectly au-
thentic and absolutely incontereable, Chow what do-
dance is to be given to General Cbatigarnier's drclera-
tons concernivg his mensuetuden his spirit of order, end
his profund respect for the law. To have desired, to put
an end by vie:entice to two Assrinbret or to prorogue
, them; to have Wished to arrest the elect of
,sia millions
of mun; to have
to elhis position and corarnaed;
he it 'd • proposed to imprison him from whom
and all that in order
impose on Fratee himself as dictator—that ca.*
sihatever may be said of in neither evinces
great respect for legalnyn nor any great frankness of
cherecter, and, in ucloitier, renders somewhat sus-
. picions, it will be admitted, the recital of 'the carious'
attempts made on the virtue of title new Joieph."
These charges are far more serious than military
blunders imputed to CUANGARNIER. Neither, he, or
Count MOLE can pats them sub silentio. M. DE CAs-
lAGNAC winds up with the following apostr9phe:tO the
ectisant generals
"Do -au then suppose that you have carried away
with'you the good sense and the honour of your country,
and that all honest folks disappeared from. France the
day when you passed the frontier? Pale imitators of
Pichegru and Moreau, you have their pretensions, bgt
not their glory. May God he pleased to stop you in
time, that you may not have their cleetiny."-
'' The Pays has an article on the- letter of General
DE LAMORIC/E2E. The style is very different from
that of the Constilutionna. It says:—
"No one, not oven himself; shall cause us to forget the
onsiderable services which General de Lsneoritaa e has
rendered to Fierce and to society. The army has
.always reckoned him amongst its most valiant soldiers,
and anarchy amongst its moat formidable adeereariee.
Our heroic combats in Algeria remind us of him, end in
the disastrous events of June he gloriously 'contributed
with his person to the safety of the country. Those are
merits which no one has a tight to deny or depsecian ;
and, for our part, we recognise them the more willirgly
that we have never seen in M. do Lemotie are one
of - those ambitious men cf gigantic plans
who dream of the poriious eunlimities of power. There
is in M. de .T.,morie ace may one defect which paralyses
those emineat qualitiee and that ia, an ardent imegit a-
, tion,ra precipitation, and a vivacity which sometimes
climes his cooler reason to deviate:from his (Aka, end
`fretinthat moderation which is so recenisite in a political
Inert. We remember the phrtse by which the ilcustrious
Alartlhal Bugeaud charactetised that impetuous organi-
zitiorn 'lt is,' said he, 'at 11(.8e1 vnaich goes rolling on
and on, until it finds a h le to fall into.' The letter of
. General de Lamoricle is, in our opinion, a fresh
proof of his proneness to yield to sudden inspirit -
tions. His bitterness of tone, his violence -even,
Spring rather from the heed than from the heart,
from the circle in which be lives rather than from what
his conscience dictates. Is it seriously that M. de
La,t1:10fIC:1 e can speak of the present Government as
maintaining itself by force in pewer, when in reality it
12_as for its, base universal suffrage, and the strongest
m
aenT station of the national will. le it sincerely that
ate reproeches the Government with not respecting
either persona or property, when thaeGoverpment has
coraolidated in eo efficient a manner, the great principles
on which rest the eetety of society and the future pro-
grew; of civilization ? Let M. de Lainc;ric I e examine
his conscience and say, if placed between the dangers in
which France was being engulfed, and a patriotic ille.
gOily, if,- haVing the power like Luaus Napoleon to
crush 'anarchy to its very root at the price of some ca.
orifices called for from liberty; he would have hesitated
an instant. These attacks against the national sove-
reignty, this ingratitude for the benefits which society
owe to the present Government, 'are not worthy
- of General do Lamoric:e[T.. llis heart and his patriotism
will one day regret the errors of his head."
The lifouiteur coutaininennneatesatosetise effect that
the only motive the Government hid in- view in not
authorising- the publication of the letter of the Count
DE CuatianonD was respect for the Constitution. The
Government could net authorise the. publication'Of 'a
letter Which counsels refusal to take the oath re-
quired
by the Constitution grounded on a principle
essentially contrary to that of the national sove-
reignty.
Th..-3 • PRINCE PIMIDENT :has-.ordered that there
shall be, from his privy purse, distributed to all the
workmen who suffered by the late fire in the Fau-
bourg St. Antoine the full•amount of all their losses
by that calamity.

`The management of the Italian Theatre was con-
fided in 1849 to M. Roncoei for six years, bilt in
September, 1850, it was taken from him by the
Mi-
liister of the Interior on account of his embarrassed
pecuniary situation. M. RONCORI appealed to the
Council of State against the Ministerial decision, and
in the event of its being confirmed demanded da-
Thrgna. M. BEE, his partner, joined him in this
_ proceeding. Mr. LUMLEY, his successor, on the
'contrary; presented a request that Itorscorn's demand
should be rejectQd. , The matter was pleaded before
and examined by the Council of State, and on Mon-
. Any judgment was given. • The Council decided
..that Mr. LUMLEY had no right to interfere, and his
intervention was set aside. A similar decision was
given with respect to M. BER. As to M. RONCONT,
the Council allowed him, as, at a late stage of the
proceedings, he hod ri quested, to withdraw his 437
peal agranst- his dismissal, and with leipect to his de-
mend for damages, it declered that he was not entitled
to any. _ _ _

A "i) ographical notice in the Pattie on Madame
SAQUI, who, IA the age of 7.5 years, is now dancing
on-the tight reps at the Hippodrome, states Borne
curious facts to account for her' being complied at
so advanced a I..erivd of life to continue a fatiguing
and hf:z>.rdous performance. it appears that Madame
SAQUI bad acquired a. lisndsorne fortune many years
age, nod had isselVed to retire, when her hrotbei„,
who was the manager of the Rouen Theatre, tvLs on
the point of becoming bankrupt with debts amount-
ing to 600,000 f., and, to save his credit, Madame
SAQUI paid the whole amount, and reduced herself to
poverty. Since that time slo has never been enabled
to accumulate euffloicnt wealth to retire, and latterly,
ttez.crding to the Pattie, she met with a terrible mis-
fortune. She was returning•frem Spain with about
30,000 f., the fruit of great exertions, when she 'MS
stopped by banditti and roliced of the whole of her
money. In her youth she was p-e.runiz,A by tl:e
Emperor NAPOLEON, who frequently' made her pre-
Bente; and on one occasion, when mach in went, of
geunents, she applied to the
. money, to.- meet some Roge
EMPEROR for the large sutra of 10,000 f., and he sent it
to her immediately.
