THE PROBABLE STARTERS FOR TO-MORROW'S
RACES AT ASCOT.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SzR,--I was unlucky enough in my selection for the Ascot
Stakes to take. Lady Evelyn as my choice, not dreaming
that within an hour afterwards she ;would be scratched—as
was the case. I trust those who confide themselves to my
pilotage also got on those horses that I placed in the nearest
position to Lady Evelyn, as I now anticipate that they (Story-
teller, Lucio, and Backbiter) will run home in the three first
positions.
Fer one of the races to-morrow, the Royal Hint Cup, it is
almost impossible to arrive at the exact list of starters at the
present time; as far as I can ascertain it is as follows:
Hernandez or Officious, Hothorpe, Exeter, Hardinge, New-
port, Catalpa, Merry Peal, Manifold, Phlegra, Knight of the
Shire, Timid Fawn, Bushranger, Sally, Solyman, Follow-
me-L tds, Mountain Flower, Little Savage, Lucio, Surprise,
or Janina and Robert. In the foregoing list I have named
three horses from one stable as starters, TiZ.—Ynight of the
Shire, Catalpa, and Little Savage, but one of the youngsters
will be found wanting—which, I know not. To my fancy
the race will lie among Newport, Catalpa, Manifold, Bush-
ranger, and Robert. I expect to see the winner in BUSH-
RANGER, CATALPA, or NEWPORT.
Fernhill Stakes, half a mile—Vaultress, Hoppicker, Jack
the Giant Killer, and Stella. My opinion is as before—
VAULTRISS to win.
The Albany Stakes—FRANTIC, Ist; ORELIO, 2nd. His
Grace and Hobble Noble are said to be non-starters.
Fourth Triennial, five furlongs, 136 yards —Auld Ac-
quaintance, Elspeth, Husk, Veteran, Cheddar, War-whoop,
Cuckoo filly, Brother to Elthiron, and perhaps another or
two. As already announced, my favour inclines towards
Brother to Elthiron, now called THE REIVER, and CHEDDAR,
whom I expect to see finish first and second.
Coronation Stakes, new mile—Filly by lon, out of Exotic
and Caloric. Both bad ones—a toss up for choice which,
it is said the Exotic will win.

The starters for her Majesty's Plate, it will be impossible
to give at the present time, the owners in all probability not
having made up their minds yet as to what they will start,
as previous events may alter the state of the case materially.
The same remarks will apply to the 50 sows. Handicap
Plate. I may as well observe, however, that Barcelona has
gone to Ascot, especially to run for her Majesty's Plate.
The betting this morning turns principally upon to-day's
events, but a little has bees done on the remaining three
days' races of the week to warrant the following list of
prices :—Royal Hunt Cup-7 to 1 each agst Newport, Catalpa,
and Manifold; Bto 1 each agst Bushranger and Mountain
Flower; 10 to 1 agst any other. Fernhill Stakes-2 to lon

TH

E FRENCH REPUBLIC.

We have received the Paris journals of yesterday.
The illoniteur publishes the following notice :
"By a decision of the Minister of Finances, the
interest attached to Bons du Tresor is fixed as fol-
lows, from and after Monday, the 7th of June cur-
rent:—

" At two per cent. per annum for bonds having from
four to five months to run.
" At 2i per cent, for bonds having six to eleven months
to run.
"At 3i per cent, on bonds of a year." '
This diminution of the rate of interest had become
necessary in consequence of the continued increase of
the receipts in the Treasury. These receipts amount
at the present day to 94 millions, although the reim-
bursements which the Treasury had to make to the
capitalists who did not agree to the conversion are
entirely effected.

M. GRANIER DE CASSAGNAC'S articles on Belgium
are reprobated at considerable length in the Ministe-
rial Pays, the Presse, and the Sidle. The Dibats
briefly expresses its astonishment at the introduction
of the name of the Chief of the State in the article
disavowed by the illottiteur. The Inclipe*thence of
Brussels has likewise entered the field. Neverthe-
less, we find in the Constitutionnel a reply of M.
VERON, the director of that journal, to the commu-
nicated note in the illoniteur. This article will pro-
bably cause great sensation, and will excite much
interest, as to the notice that will be taken of it by
the Government. M. VERON says—
" The Moniteur contains a serious accusation against
the article on Belgium, published in the Constitutionne/
by M. Grauier de Cassagnac. The article is charged
with infidelity or exaggeration. That article had, be-
sides, produced a lively impression at the Bourse. In
presence of these two facts, we cannot refrain from
giving some explanations to justify in the eyes of the
public the insertion in the Conatitutionnel of the two ar-

ticks on Belgium, by M. Granier de Cassagnac. Since
the re•election of the Prince President of the Republic,
we have not had the honour of approaching the Chief of
the State; M. Granier de Cassagnac only has brought
us several articles as the expression of the ideas of the
Prince President. We were obliged to refuse the inser-
tio❑ of one of these articles; bat from a sentiment of
respectful conciliation and of deference, that refusal,
given with regret in order to fulfil a conscientious duty,
rendered more easy for us the admission of the new
articles of M. Granier de Cassagnac, emanating from
the same source. There is particularly one fact that
we should not have allowed to appear in the columns
of the Conelitutionnel, as it compromised the name of
an honourable man, if it had not been affirmed to us
that this fact and this personal accusation were gua-
ranteed by the word of the Chief of the State. The first
article of M. Granier de Cassagnac on Belgium appeared
to have been inspired by a movement of rancour and
anger not justified by the complaints of which the
article made itself the echo. We therefore begged
our colleague to modify the tone of the article, and
to render it more moderate. When M. Granier do Cris-
sagnec read his second article to us, we confess that, in
face of the positive affirmations of our colleague, we did
not put this useless question to bim, ' are you authorised
to fetter the policy of the Chief of the State in matters
so eminently serious and delicate? Have you made
yourself acquainted with his views and intentions?' We
did not for a moment doubt but that M. Granier de
Cassagnac was the interpreter of the ideas, and even of
the sentiments, of the Prince President of the Republic.
It would have been suspecting his veracity, or supposing
him capable of carrying his indiscretion as far as a
breach of confidence. We shall only add one word
more, and that is, that we still firmly believe, even after
the article of the MoniteMr, that M. Granier de
Cassagnac was completely authorised. It is
necessary, in fact, once for all, that the public should
be made acquainted with the meaning of the
convenient and anonymous signature Communi-
qui. Are we to understand by the word communiqué
that it is the Cabinet, the Ministers who speak? Or
does it veil the signature of the Chief of the State? It is
necessary that this question should be solved on account
of the contradiction given by the Moniker to the Con-
stitutionnel. We have lately published several articles
by M. Granier de Cassagnac, under the firm conviction"'

that they suited the policy of the Chief of the State.
Having no longer the honour of conferring with Prince
Louis Napoleon on questions on the order of the
day, I was obliged to accept M. dranier de Cas-
, sagnae ad an authorised intermediary. We regret
Est being compelled to give this recital by the ar-
ticle of the Moniteur; but we cannot allow such
serious accusations to weigh on us, or even to re-
main without defence under the blow of a warning
from the Ministry of General Police, for the publication
of false or incorrect news. It would be wrong to con-
clude from all this that we shall change our attitude and
our language. We cannot forgot that the Prince Presi-
dent is the elect of eight millions of the people, that he
has saved France, and that it is be alone who can still
protect us from Socialism and from formidable re-
volutions."
At the end of this article are the following lines,
signed by M. GRANIER DE CASSAONAC:—
" It will be remarked that the cominunioated article
published in the Moniteur in no way disavows the policy
which we believe should, for the interest of the Govern-
ment, be followed towards Belgium."
The PRINCE PRESIDENT on Saturday again visited
the works at the Louvre. He was in an open car-
riage,
and alighted several times, and going amongst
the workmen, left with them marks of his generosity.
The PRINCE was everywhere received with loud ac-
clamations. . _ _

General DE LAw.iSTINE reviewed on Sunday the
National Guards of the communes of Issy, Vanves,
Grenelle, Montrouge, and
Clamart, Plessis-Piquet,
Vaugirard. After the review the General and his
staff were entertained by the officers of the divisions
which he had reviewed at a breakfast, at a restaurant
in the Champs Elysies. The health of the PRINCE
PRESIDENT was proposed by one of the Colonels.
The toast was drunk with great enthusiasm, and re-
plied to in an appropriate speech by General DE
LAVICESTINE. The health of the General was after-
wards proposed, and received with loud acclamationß,
as was a toast to " the union of the National Guard
and the army," and another to the memory of the
EMPEROR.

M. DETILLE, ex-Representative, condemned to
transportation by the High Court of Justice of Ver-
sailles, has just been pardoned by the PRINCE PRESS;

for being concerned in the Lyons plot, has been
commuted to banishment, and be is to be escorted

named JOUBERT has conducted himself so well at
Belle Isle that he is authorised to pass the remainder
of his imprisonment (18 months) in one of the prisons
(of Paris. Lastly, full pardon has been accorded to a
jeweller named VINOT, condemned to imprisonment
for having taken part in the insurrection of June.
