WEJJNESDAY EVENING,

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

We have received the Paris journals of yegterday.
The result of the election for Corsica is now
known. The Government candidate, M. SEvERINA
ABBATUCCI, has obtained nearly the whole of the
votes.

A decree from the PRESIDENT of the Republic, ap•
points M. BILLAULT, Deputy, President of the Legis-
lative body.
Nearly one-third of the candidates elected as mem-
bers of the Legislative body were members of the
ex-Legislative Assembly.
It has been decided that the members of the new
elective Assembly are to take the official title of de-
puties of the Legislative body.
The France Napoleonienne contradicts rumours,
current for some days, that the 4. -p
RESIDENT of the
Republic has been dangerously ill—acute rheumatism,
brain fever, cholerine, having all been mentioned by
the gossip-mongers as diseases with which he had
been attacked. He paid a visit on Monday to the
Tuileries. He Went there in a light two horse car-
riage, which he drove himself.
The Patrie contains the following communicated
note :—"A report has been several times circulated
that certain differences had arisen between the PRE-
SIDENT of the Republic and General ST. ARNAUD.
This report is absolutely false. We declare, for the
sake of truth, that since the accession of General St.
ARNAUD to power not the slightest difference has
taken place between him and the PRESIDENT. We
affirm this in the most formal manner."
A decree in the Moniteur declares it to be indis-
pensable ;
and forevey public functionary to take an oath
of allegiance, in accordance with Art. 14 of the Con-
stitutionordersr that in case such oath is refused,
or its terms modified in ilny way, the person so acting
shall he considered as having given in his resigna-
tion. Special decrees shall determine the mode in
which the Ministers, members of the great bodies of
the State, officers in the army and navy, magistrates,
and functionaries, shall take the oath in question.
The following is the 14th article of the Constitu-
tion, which is confirmed by this decree
Ministers,, members of the Senate, of the Corps Le-
gislatif, of the Council of State, officers of the army
and navy, magistrates, and functionaries, take the oath
thus conceived,
I swear obedience to the Constitution and fidelity
to the President.'"
Refusal to take the oath in this form without ad-
dition or modification will, according to the decree
in the Moniteur of this morning, be considered as a
resignation. Should General CAVAIGNAC, therefore,
refuse to swear fidelity to the PRESIDENT, there must
be a new election for the third arrondissement of
Paris.

The Moniteur contains a decree, definitively or-
ganising and making permanent the temporary
Chamber formed in the Court of Appeal of Paris by
the ordonnance of August 20, 1843. The Moniteur
also contains two other decrees, one transferring, in
the colonies, to the Correctional Tribunals, such poli-
tical offences as have hitherto been sent before the
Courts of Assizes ; and the other, modifying the en-
trance duties on wool and tallow in certain determined
cases
; wool, when coming in French bottoms from
countries beycnd Cape Horn or the Cape of Good
i
Hope, having to pay 15f. ad valorem, and when in
havn
foreign bottoms, or from other countries, the same as
at present ; and tallow, when from beyond Cape
Horni or the Cap
g to
eof Good Hope, in French bottoms,
pay 6f. the 100 kilog.; when from other
countries, 101, ; and when in foreign bottoms or by
land, 13f.
