TUESDAY EVENING,

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

We have received the Paris papers of yesterday.
Under the head of " C'est l'heure de se convertir,"
Dr. VERON gives more than three columns in the
Consiitutionnel, to show that it is useless for the old
parties to continue their resistance to Louis Napo-
LEON. The writer proceeds on the assumption that
the French people have too long abused the liberty
that they enjoyed to be capable of appreciating its be-
nefits, and that for their own interest they require a
Government which by its force and intelligence shall
restrain them from excesses in their own interest. The
following extract will show the tenor of the writer's
opinionsoi :s
, u Napoleon was imbued deeply with the feeling
that it was necessary to make a great coup d'etat, and
overturn with a firm hand the old institutions. which
were abused, in order, as he himself said, to replace the
pyramid on its base. Succurrere seclo everso. Well, then,
when anyone is not influenced by the blindest pride, how
is it possible not to be converted to respect for the Go-
vernment? not to aid it, emanating as it does from the
widest election by the people, and so ardently embracing
all the ideas of the time, and satisfying with so sure
a hand the interests and wants cf the country? For
more than sixty years the lore of liberty and respect for
constitutions have been made a popular religion. We
do not want to see the altars on which so many victims
were sacrificed broken to pieces with brutal impiety;
but one of the great laws of politics is certainly oppor-
tuneness of acting, and for a people menaced by barbs-
' rians the true beau ideal of a constitution has been for
a certain time the soul of a Trojan, counselled by a
Pliny the Younger. Yes, this is undoubtedly the hour
for men to be converted in France; and we consider that
a nation which in sixty years has committed so many
catastrophes, can without dishonour come and say to a
government issued from universal suffrage, ' I come (not
like Mdlle. de is Vallies, for ever!) to give up to you
my liberty, of which I have made so bad a use."
The Pays publishes a third article, by M. GRANIER
DE CASSAGNAC, under the head of "Le Gouverne-
ment du 2 Decembre devant la Raison et devant la
Morale." The present is in the same eulogistic strain
as the former articles.
There is an article in the Debats on the loan of
two millions sterling contracted for by Turkey,
speaking strongly in favour of that financial measure.
It concludes by saying—
" Turkey alone in Europe had no public debt. Why
should she not do now what all other nations have done
and practised with so much advantage? Why
should
not what has succeeded so well with them succeed with
Turkey? It seems to us once again that there is reason
to applaud and congratulate Turkey on seeing her, in
imitation of all other Governments, enter the career of
credit. We hope that Turkey will find therein an ele-
ment of activity, of labour, and of wealth. But Turkey
will not be alone in prospering by it. It her population
of thirty millions—such at least is the number given in
the least uncertain statistical returns—develop© their
agriculture, their commerce, the languishing
germs of
their manufactures, France, England, and all other
states will find in her a market of increasing importance,
a more extensive debouche for their productions, a more
extensive centre of supplies and exchanges. They will
find also a productive investment for their superabundant
capital. These relations of creditor and debtor have in-
creased during a certain number of years amongst all
people, and it would not be easy to say whether they' have
been more profitable to debtor or creditor. It is with the
capital of England that a number of manufactures have
been built, mines worked, and railways constructed on
the continent. Everybody has gained by that. One
party has been able to create enterprises which have in-
creased their fortune and the prosperity of their coun-
try. The other has derived a larger interest from their
capital; in fact, it may be said that part of the Eugiish
people live at present on the revenue which all the pa-
lions of the continent, without speaking of those of the
New World, pay them. Such is the double advantage
which we see in the future in the path in which Turkey
has just taken the first step with the support of the ca-
pital of France and England. We shall lend to Turkey
as we have lent to Piedmont and Spain. And we must
add, that those who may confide their money to her will
not have the fear that a revolution in the evening will
cause their debtor and their security to disappear in the
morning. For the stability of Governments in questions
of public credit is a very important matter, and we do
not know many Governments in Europe, which have
been hatter preserved than that of Turkey from the re-
volutions which have agitated the world."
The Siicle, in an article on the same subject,
although it approves of the loan, takes a less brilliant
view of the destiny of Turkey. It is of opinion that
Turkey is not in the condition to render it probable
that credit can be established there on a safe end
durable footing.
We read in a Par:s letter in the Austrian Lloyds of
Vienna :—" The marriage of the PRINCE PRESIDENT
with the daughter of the Prince GUSTAVUS WASA has
really been adjourned. The reasons are these :—One
of the most celebrated professors of the Faculty of
Medicine at Heidelberg has advised Prince WASA
not to allow the Princess CAROLINE to be married
until she shall be full twenty years of age, as her
growth is not yet terminated; she is at present only
nineteen. On the other hand the Princess WASA,
her mother, has been suffering for a long time from
a complaint which renders a surgical operation neces-
sary. It was therefore an act of propriety to adjourn
the marriage. ThiP, however, does not prevent an
active correspondence from being kept up between
the PRINCE PRESIDENT and the WASA family; and
every week the rarest fruits and flowers of the
season are sent from St.. Cloud to the Princess CARO-
LINE. LOUIS NAPOLEON had originally intended first
to conclude the marriage, and afterwards to proclaim
the Empire. But now, the contrary will take place.
He will ascend the throne before the end of the pre-
sent year, and will only get married next year. As
to the re-establishment of the Empire, it is not in
the power of Louis NAPOLEON to postpone it any
longer, as the councils- general have so generally de-
manded it.

The Cardinal Archbishop of BESANCON, at a recent
distribution of prizes in the college of that city, took
occasion to defend the study of Pagan authors of
Greece and Rome, which has lately been attacked by
a certain party in the church. Those authors are, he
said, models of taste and elegance, and without them
it is impossible to know antiquity. He denied that
the study of their works can lead to immorality if
masters do their duty in inculcating Christian truths
in the minds of their pupils. The Cardinal Archbishop,
however, said he had no objection to the study and
examination of the fathers of the church, provided
they be kept within moderate bounds.
The Journal du Havre states that a company has
been formed for founding, on a grand plan entirely
new, a sugar establishment at Guyana. It proposes
to employ such of the forcats as may be recom-
mended by the authorities for their good conduct.
From an experiment just made, it appears that
telegraphic di,patches can be transmitted from Paris
to Vienna, via the Strasburg Railway, in about an
hour. The closing prices of the Vienna Stock Ex-
change were sent off a few days ago at three o'clock,
and reached Paris at five, atter being detained at
Strasburg nearly an hour.
The Boure was remarkably firm, with a slight rise
in the price of Government securities. The Four-and-
a-lialf per Cents. opened at 105 f. 85c., and closed at
the same price for the end of the month; the Three
per Cents. closed at 771. 45c.; Orleans Railway Shares,

France, on the subject of the attacks directed against
Prince Louis NAPOLEON, have remained without effect,
11. DE TALLENAY, tha French Minister to the Ger-
manic Die, has broiight the affair immediately before
the Diet by an energetic note, in order that the As-
sembly may adopt general measures."
The Universal German Gazette states that the
police of Silesia have been ordered to look out nar-
rowly for a certain kind of handkerchief, which, after
having been washed, loses the colours of the pattern
stamped on them, and bring to light a revolutionary
manifesto.

DENMARK.
It is now publicly announced that the fortress of
Rendsborg will be dismantled. This step is about
the wisest which could have been taken, and does
honour to the present Cabinet. The position of
Rendsborg is such that it is the natural stronghold of
Holstein and Germany, the dangerous wasp's nest of
Schleswig-Holsteinisin. Immense quantities of arms
and ammunition have been removed, including an
incredible number of cannon, partly of Prussian
model, and partly, copied from the Danish.
On August 26th was held the usual quarterly
meeting of the Royal Society of Northern Antiqua-
rians. The Vice-President, Privy Councillor WkGE-
NER, exhibited drawings of three stone monument:,
at Thisted, in Jutland, one of which was a rune
stone, hitherto little known. CARL SCUT, Lector in
Archwlogy in the University of Upside, afterwards
read a sketch of some of the most remarkable antiqui-
ties in the Swedish island of Gotland. We wonder
that so few of our countrymen visit this highly in-
teresting island. It is a perfect mine for the anti-
quarian. It has nearly 100 ancient churches most
of them in excellent preservation, and abounding in
magnificent sculpture and all the rich forms exhibited
by the architecture of the thirteenth and fourteenth
centuries. Many of them have also preserved their
windows of painted glass. We hope that sc ne ex-
cellentecclesiologists will pack up their portmanteaus
They must not be content with the tre:,.spra

already creeping into this distant land, and in a few
YTS many things now extant may be objects of tra-
dition.of ruined \Visby, the capita!, where secular buildings
still exist in great numbers from the early middle
age; but must boldly wander through the country
and visit the antique village churches, which are ge-
nerally perfect. They will find abundant hospitality.

ITALY.
An order of the day of the Ist in the Piedmontese
Gazette directs that the National Guard of Turin
shall, from the 9th inst., do the service of the garrison
of the capital, which is to assist part in the great
manoeuvres which are to take place on the Bth, 9th,
and 10th.
In the sitting of the 30th ult. of the Royal Court
of Florence, advocate PANATTONI, one of the counsel
for GUERRAZZI and the other defendants, moved that
the amnesty granted by the decree of the 21st of No-
vember, 1849, be extended to all his clients, seeing
that the exclusions mentioned in that decree were in-
tended as safeguards of the constitution ; which being
now abolished, all motives for exclusion had disap-
peared. I❑ support of this argument, the Learned
Counsel quoted the motives detailed in the report of
the Minister on the question of granting an amnesty.
The Advocate-General having opposed this motion
the Court, after a long consultation, rejected it._
Another incidental motion was then brought forward
by the counsel of MONTARIO, which related to him
alone, and was intended to show that he had been
prosecuted after the date of the amnesty. This ob-
jection was also overruled, and the Court adjourned to
the following day.
A letter from Mantua states that the persons on
trial for being concerned in the society of death have
been sentenced to capital punishment. This sentence
has been sent to Marshal RADETZKY for his signa-
ture. It is believed that the ringleaders will alone be
executed.

TURKEY.
The Trieste Gazette publishes a letter from Con-
stantinople of the 22d ult., which declares that the
ex-Grand Vizier, RESCHID PACHA, ALI PACHA, and
Pimp EFFENDI, are about to resume the places which
they lately held. Mum PLCHA, the great adversary
of Rescain PACIIA, is, it is said, reconciled to him.
HALM PACHA is to be named to the command of the
fleet. The same journal states that 5,000 persons
have been deprived of their shelter in consequence of
the late Tres, and the Government has been obliged to
raise tents for them. The project of establishing a
railway to cross Turkey, starting from Belgrade, and
proceeding by Nisib, Sophie, PhilippopoliP, and
Adrianople, to Constantinople, and then pass by the
Asiatic passages towards Bombay, has been pre-
sented to the Porte by an English company, who
agree to bear the expense, estimated at 15,000,000
sterling. Several persons connected with the under-
taking were at Constantinople at the above date.

THE AUTUMN GUIDE TO THE TURF FOR 1852,
BY W. IturF, contain° w Calendar of the Races in the ore-
:•ent year to the end of August; the Performances of the
Two-year olds to the same period; the Nominations to the
end of the season ; and a careful Index of the Horses that
have run, with their Pedigrees. Altogether a sine qua non
to the Sportsman.
ELOPt MENT IN HIGH LIFE.—The parties con-
cerned in the elopement which has recently taken place in
Kilkenny are Captain Hay of the 92d Regiment, and the
lady of 111 r. Bryan of Jenkinstown, in the county of Kil-
kenny. The frail fair is daughter of the Marquis of Conyng-
ham.

Notice of the formation of a company for the pro-
posed Crystal Palace at Paris was posted yesterday in the
Stock Exchange. The capital is to be 13,000,000 f., or
universal.
520,0001., in 130,000 shares of 41. each, of which a small
proportion are to be allotted in England. The concession for
the building is granted to Blear:, Ardoin and Co. for 35
years, and embraces a minimum guarantee from the Govern-
ment of dividends of 4 per cent., aher the payment of all
4eindgevaoted to general purposes of exhibition,
provision for a sinking fund. The

VINEGAR AND ITS ADULTERATIONS.—The Analy-
tical, Sanitary Commission by the aid of microscopical and
chem.cal research, has examined the vinegar of almost every
maker of any note by whom the metropolis and its suburbs
are supplied . The results are perfectly frightful, We ap-
pear to have given death a crystal sanctuary, and invited
him to the centre of our table. "There is
,a skeleton," says
an old writer, " present at every banquet ;" but here, in the
shape of sulphuric acid, or vitriol, and acetic acid, the un-
scrupulous
.manufacturers have provided us with the means
of rapidly converting all assembled into grim anatomies.
The Sanitary Commission appears to have gone about its
mission like Diogenes, seeking by the light of science
throughout this great metropolis for an honest vinegar ma-
nufacturer—and one, and one only, has it discovered through-
out the length and breadth of th,s great City, and B
in ridge-
street, Southwark, has this rarity been found. The house of
Messrs. Potts and Co. is one of the oldest in London, havin
been a vinegar manufactory for upwards of a ce It ury tand g a
certainly a matter for
half, and it is . congratulation, that a
firm of so old a standing has not been drawn, by the com-
petition around, into practices which are alike destructive to
human life, and inimical to the character for probity which
our traders once held amongst nations.—Globe, - '
