THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

We have received the Paris journals of yesterday.
Theresult of the elections in Lyons exhibited OD lumens
majority against the Government candidate, this number
being ter LIENON (Opposition), 13,649; for Ouvrxx (Goi-
vernmeat), 8,356. It would appear, in fact, that were it
not for the rural communesalicutwns would, in most cases,
have returned anti-Napoleonists to the Corps Lsgislatif; de-
spite the Government influence.
It is rumoured that the Empire will be soon proclaimed
' notwithstanding the avowed opposition of Russia; yen,
seeing what has taken plairat the-elections, there is dougg
that the country would ratify a question.put in this sense by
a majority equal to that by virtue of which the Prince Pay-
siniLsr was authorised to make a constitution according to
his own good will and pleasure. Nevertheless the cities of
Peri:, Lyons,.l.4o„.prest, Rouen, an. 4 other centres of
population will contain elements of dissatisfaction menacing
enough to suggest the propriety of prudent Councils.

Our accounts from Madrid are of the 20th inst.
The Epoca states that the intended voyage of the Duke
and Duchess Ds MONTPEXSIgR from Valencia to the Balearic
Islands. Genoa, &c., has been suspended, because it was sup..
posed that the Duchess was in "an interesting situation,"
but that it has been decided that their Royal Highnesses
snatriesve Vmencie next month. •They are, however, to
proceed to England direct, instead of going, as was that in-
tended, to Italy.
A Madrid letter of the 20th states that the Nacion journal
having published an article offensive to the I'IOIIIII3IMT of
the French Republic, General Autics, the French Ambas-

vernment on the subject, and the consequence has been the
arrest of the director of the Nacion, preparatory to his being
brought to trial, and the seizure of thejounaal. from which
it cam be relieved only by a new deposit of caution money.
