without favour or affection, fear or prejudice. On
their decision will depend the well-being of myriads
of their fellow-creatures, and we cannot entertain
any doubt that their verdict will be an honest one,
in strict accordance with the evidence that may be
adduced before them.

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

We have received the Paris journals of yesterday.
M. GIRARDIN makes his second appearance in the
Presse, and fills nearly an entire page with his remarks.
He concludes with an exhortation to those parties over
whom he supposes he has still a certain amount of in-
fluence to accept the Republic as it has been give❑ to
them, and not to offer an opposition which would lead
to the re-establishment of monarchial absolutism. He
says—

conclude by saying to the Republicans, everything
examined and carefully weighed, you ought not to look at
the matter too closely, for that would be to play the game
of the Royalists ; you ought not to be more difficult to be
pleased than seven millons of electors, and you ought to be
contented with what still exists under the name of the Re-
public. To be content with it is the means of preventing a
restoration of monarchial absolutism, not only in France,
but in all Europe. in Belgium, in Switzerland, in Piedmont,
in Spain, and in Portugal. After the •.4th of February, how
did the vanquished act? Did they protest haughtily against
the Republic? No; it was by making themselves humble
that they appeased and disarmed it, and that they succeeded
in a few months in again seizing on the political predomi-
nance which they had lost. Let this example, borrowed
from MAI. de Montalembert, Berryer, and Thiers, suffice for
the Republicans, if they desire to preserve the Republic.
Let them everywhere accept, for want of something better,
and through fear of something worse, those words of the
speech delivered at the Tuileries on March 29, Let us pre-
serve the Republic I' "
The Slide, in signifying its approbation of the testi-
mony offered by the PRINCE PRESIDENT in suppart, ques-
tions, nevertheless, the justice of the condition affixed
by Louis NAPOLEON to the maintenance of the repnb
lican form of Government. "No doubt," says the
" that menace suspended over the country, would
be of a nature to force the most turbulent parties to re•
main at rest, if parties were reasonable. But if they
were reasonable, they would cease to be parties. Great
opinions can alone wait patiently; parties die if they do
not agitate. We do not certainly want to accuse any
one, but what, some fine morning, in the midst of general
tranquillity, is to hinder an abortive attempt from being
made on one of our frontiers, proving the folly or im-
patience of parties? Certainly, France would not be the
accomplice of such an act, and yet all France would bear
the penalty of it, since she would be suddenly deprived
of a form of Government considered at present
marvellously adapted to her character and wants.
It is, in fact, rare that it can be said of any mo-
narchy what the PRESIDENT has said of the Republic:
'lt menaces no one, and re-assures all.' What! it would
be sufficient to see the secret manoeuvres of some mal-
contents in order that the benefit of the present form of
government should be given up, and the country deli-
vered to all the chances of a new establishment? Be-
yond any doubt, the Government has not taken into
account the full bearing of such a phrase; it
perceive that it was by its opening .
a vast field did not
to all
kinds of intrigue, to all political passions, and that the
is
prospect of a change depending _ on so small a matter,
not calculated to re-assure men's minds, and
tranquillize
general interests."

the Legislative Assembly, as on the preceding day,

fication of election returns. After a considerable
number had been declared regular, the President
stated that, according to the terms of Art 46 of the
decree of March 22, the Legislative body must now be
considered duly constituted, and that intimation of the
same would be given by hint to the PRESIDENT of the
Republic. Sots° further returns having been verified,
the President informed the deputies that they had to
decide on the point of whether they would or would
not wear their official costume at their ordinary sittings.
The Chamber decided that it would immediately resolve
itself into a Secret Committee to discuss the point. The
public sitting then closed at three o'clock. The
decision of the Secret Committee, i•e it is understood,
that each deputy shall appear in uniform or in coloured
clothes, just as he pleases.
It has, it is said, been just decided that the Council of
State shall sit all the year, with the exception of the
two months' vacation, during which a Committee wiil be
appointed to transact the necessary business.
The Bill on monetary reform, which laas been ex-
amined by the Council of State, is to be presented in a
few days to the legislative body, as well as that relating
to the penitentiary system. It is said that this latter
Bill lays it down as a principle that all individuals con-
demned to sentences of an infamous character shall be
transported.

The members of the Court of Cessation and the First
Presidents and Procureurs-Gen‘raux of the Courts of
Appeal are to take the oaths before the PRESIDENT o
the Republic at nine o'clock on Sunday evening next, of
the Elyi6e.

The Marshal President of the Senate has taken up
his residence at the Petit Luxembourg, where ho will re-
main during the continuance of the session, and give re.
ceptions once a week. The President of the Legislative
body has already given receptions.

Our accounts from Madrid are of the 28th ult.
The report of the interesting position of Queen
BELLA appear to be confirmed. Her MAJESTY was to
proceed to the Royal Chapel of Atocha, to place on the
heads of the statues of the VIRGIN MARY and the in-
fant JESUS the precious crowns made with the jewels she
wore on the 2d of February, the day of the attempt
against her life.
It was reported that General PAVIA had been ap-
pointed Military Governor of Aranjuez, for the pur-
pose of keeping General NARVAEZ away from that
residence during the sojourn of the QUEEN. An old
enmity is known to exist between those two officers,
and it is not probable that General NARYIEZ would re-
turn to his estate while General PAVIA commanded the
district.

A hostile meeting was to take place between M.
ALEJANDRO CASTRO and General PAVIA, in cense-
quence of the publication by the former of certain do-
cuments likely to compromise the General. The latter
had accordingly sent a challenge to M. DE CASTRO. The
names of the seconds were not yet known.
The Heraldo, of the 26th, had been seized, merely for
announcing that the number of the preceding day had
been the obj,ct of a similar measure ! Such an out-
rageous persecution of tho press is unexampled, and
almost incredible in a soi disant civilized country.
The Tribunal of Madrid has confirmed the sentence
passed on the responsible editor of the Orden, for a libel
on General O'DONNELL, condemning him to three years'
imprisonment and 500 f. fine.

Pakington, Lord St. Leonard's, the Marquis of Salisbury,
Lord John Manners, and the Duke of Northumberland.
Most of the Ministers will leave town at the close of next
week for their respective seats, as the House of Commons
will adjourn for the Easter holidays.

Verularn, Lord Colville, and Colonel Seymour, honoured the
French Plays with their presence last evening.
HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.—His Royal Highness
the Duke of Cambridge honoured her Majesty's Theatre with

the Countess of Harrington and Lady Jane St. Maur Stan-
hope, his Excellency the Russian Minister, the Baroness de
Brunnow and Madlle. de Brunnow, and Lord George Paget

THE CRYSTAL PALACE.—Yesterday the form of
in
petition which was placed e building for signature when
the public were first admitted gratuitously, about a fortnight
ago, was withdrawn, and a new one drawn up by the com-
mittee, was this morning substituted for it. About 50,000
names have been attached to it, and a large proportion of the
subscribers belong to the gentler sex.
Ma. CHARLES KEAN.—A considerate and liberal
act on the part of this estimable gentleman deserves to be
recorded, if but for the edification of theatrical managers in
general. Taking into account the serious detriment which
would be occasioned to the minor employes at the Princess's
Theatre, by the unexpected closing of that house during the
present week, Mr. Kean has most handsomely paid in full
the weekly salaries of all in the establishment holding en-
gagements under two pounds a week. An act like this
speaks for itself and will doubtless give additional intensity
to the warmth of the public welcome with which Mr. Kean
(whose health is rapidly improving) is certain of being
greeted on his re-appearance after Easier.
THE ITALIAN OPERA.IN PARIS.—The Italian Opera
closed on Tuesday
night with fforuza, in which Mdlle.
Cruvelli had achieved so many triumphs. The house was
, brilliantly attended, and the audience applauded all the
performers with a warmth which was evidently given and
taken as the expression of an affectionate farewell. The
past season under Mr. Lumley
recollected as one of th remarkable in the annals of
the opera. 's spirited direction will be

HUNGERFORD.RALL. Since the departure for
Paris of Lassaigne and Prudence, electro-biology has taken
up its quarters at the above establishment. The subject is
treated by Mr. Hicks, who gave last night his second lec-
ture, illustrated ,by experiments—operating upon the first
comers who chose to present themselves from all parts of the
house. Were we not limited to space, we could write a great
deal on yesterday's soiree, but we must be brief, and give a
general resume of the impressions produced. The entertain-
ment opened by a very scientific lecture, very well delivered,
upon the origin and science of mesmerism, &c. This in-
teresting discourse, illustrated by scientific demonstration,
very much pleased the audience, and kept them on the qui
vice for the practical experiments, which came on at the
second part of the lecture. Twenty-nine gentlemen, of
various sizes, ages, and temperaments, mounted the rostrum.
There they underwent the influence of the very talented
professor, who found amongst that number ten persons sta_
ceptible of that influence. rile nineteen non-susceptible
withdrew after ten minutes,leaving the stage to the operator
and those to be operated upon. But here again our space
fails; suffice it to say that the susceptible subjects of Mr.
Hicks first surprised and then convulsed the audience with
laughter whenever they endeavoured to act or move contrary
to his will, and yet they were all in their normal state, that
is, nowise in the mesmeric sleep. The success of the lecturer
was greeted throughout with long and loud plaudits, and a
third lecture was announced for Tuesday next, the 6th init.,
when we hope to End a bumper house.
APOTHECARIEe HALL.—The following are the
names of gentlemen who passed their examination in the
science and practice of medicine, and received certificates to
Lractise, on Thursday, the Ist of April, 1852 : Arthur Robert
omax, Hereford; Joseph Dunn Nelson, Exeter; Thomas
White Chester ' • William Field Bellin, Great Yarmouth;
George Vause Birks, Manchester ; Alfred Hedger, South-
street, Wes'-square; Henry John Davis Mathews, Denmark-
hill; Thomas Quiller Couch, Palpero, Cornwall; Charles
Richard Crossley, Ashby de la Zouch.
We understand that a special joint mission is
shortly to be sent by the English and French Governments,
at the instance of our Foreign-office, to Buenos Ayres, to ar-
range a treaty of commerce, and the free navigation of the
Parana. The Chevalier de St. Georges has, we believe, been
selected by the French Government, and he will have for his
colleague a distinguished British Naval officer, who played
a prominent part in the operations of
there in 1816.—Chronie;e. the British squadron
We understand that Captain Sir Charles Hothatn,
K.C.8., has been appointed the British Envoy to the Brazi-
lian Court, to act in conjunction with the French Envoy, in
settling the River Plate affairs.
Mr. Frewen, M.P., has been laid up during the
whole of this week with a very severe cold, which accounts
for his name not appearing in the division on Tuesday night,
as he is in the country.
TUE ARMY.—Major-Gereral James Simpson, late
commanding at Chatham, arrived at Portsmouth yesterday
at one o'clock, and assumed the command of the south-
western district, vice Lieutenant-General D'Aguilar, who
has been acting lieutenant-governor for the last two months,St. Thomas's bells rang a peal on his arrival. Already some

placed on the paper of the House of Commons the following
notice of amendment to the motion for the second reading
of the Militia Bill :—" That this House is of opinion that it
s not expedient to proceed with the Militia Bill in the pre-
sent Parliament." The public will learn with surprise the proposition madeby Mr.,Secretary
Walpole last night in the
House of Commons. It is that every
