LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 18 1852.

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

We have received the Paris papers of yesterday.
At Navers, on the morning of the 16th, the PRINCE
PRESIDENT received a great number of the principal
persons of the department, and gave a sum of money
to the Mayor to distribute to the poor of the town.
He also caused several sums to be given to a number
of old soldiers of the Empire. At eight o'clock he
visited the cattle-show, which took place in the bar-
rack yard, and where some fine specimens of horned
cattle and horses, both for riding and draught, were
collected. Prizes were distributed in presence of
the PRINCE to the persons whose cattle were con-
sidered the finest.

During his short stay Louis NAPOLEON had seve-
ral conversations with the principal functionaries rela-
tive to improvements to be effected in the town, and in
its staple manufactures, which are earthenware, glass,
and china. In its neighbourhood also are iron-forges
and foundries. The streets of the town also are badly
paved, steep, and irregular, and orders have been
g ofhisaddstraeysseasls
given to have ameliorations effected in those respects.
numberDurin receivedtnw nsa
ingreat
e
fromothe trheßlNvearEious
neighbourhood. They almost all ask for the establish-
ment of the Empire, and as a specimen we give that
which was presented to him from the inhabitants of
Clamecy. It runs thus :
" Prince, the town of Clamecy, more than any other
locality, is acquainted with the evils of civil war, which
you have just put an end to in the midst of the accla-
mations of the French nation, and for the peace of all
Europe. The ontire confidence which we have in you
leads us to express to you the wish, which has already
emanated from most of the Councils-General, to behold
you, Monseigneur, assume the title of Emperor, and so
to give your power that character of stability which
results necessarily from the hereditary form of govern-
ment—the only one which can suit the grandeur of your
views for the future, and for the happiness of the French
people."
At a little after nine the firing of cannon announced
that the PRINCE was about to leave Nevers. He pro-
ceeded in his carriage through the town at a walking
pace, and was again greeted with loud shouts of
" Vive l'Empereur !" The crowd at the bridge on
the road to Magny-Cours was immense, and here he
received a last farewell, his carriage crossing the
bridge amidst reiterated cries of " Vive l'Empereur !"
The prefect and the Duke DE MORTEMART are to
accompany him as far as Villeneuve-sur-Allier.
The Assemblee .Nationale, which on Thursday con-
tained nothing respecting the Duke of WELLINGTON
but the telegraphic dispatch announcing his death,
has in its number of yesterday a biography of the
deceased, and some remarks upon his public character.
The latter, which we subjoin, are conceived in a good
spirit, and are free from the exaggeration of nation-
ality which has rendered the appreciations of some of
our Paris contemporaries unjust. The Assembles
says—
The death of the Duke of Wellington is a subject
of public mourning for England. Never did British
subject render to his Sovereign and his country such,
signal services. Even the victories of the Duke of Marl-
borough cannot equal in the souvenirs of the English
nation those of the general whom it has just lost; for
never did the power of Louis XIV cause to England Ei peril
to be compared to that with which the power of Napoleon
menaced it for a moment. In 1808, when the English sent
to Portugal the army, to which the thoughtlessness of
Junot gave an unforecen success, their cause appeared
desperate in Europe, and British constancy itself seemed
shaken. With a general of another character, or rather
of another temperament than that of the Duke of Wel-
lington, the intervention of the English in the wars of the
continent would, no doubt, have had another result; snd
the fortune of Napoleon might have been changed. But
the Duke of Wellington had, in the highest degree, the
distinctive qualities of tho English race, cool reason and
perseverance. It was by these qualities that be slowly
succeeded in obtaining his success, and that is why those
successes are dearer to British pride. Wo will ,not say
more on this subject, to which for us are attachedtne
most legitimate susceptibilities of patriotism, and which
should be reserved to the calm and impartial examina-
tion of history. We shall, however, be permitted, and
it is useful, to remark that it was not to fortune only
that the English general owed the rare privilege of
being never defeated in a great battle, Montesquieu
has wisely said—' It is not fortune which governs the
world.' The constant good fortune which accompanied the
Duke of Wellington in his military career was the fruit
of the rale of conduct which consists in not leaving
anything to chance which can be taken from it by
counsel and prudence • in other terms, only to accept
a battle with all possible chances of winning it. That
is assuredly a system which but little seduces the ima-
gination; but the example of the celebrated man of
whom we speak suffices to prove that reason and will
can, in the long run, triumph over the boldest and most
powerful genius. We will not endeavour to appreciate
in a few lines the Duke of Wellington as a political man
as well as a general. His long life, which was so varied
and so fully occupied, requires an attentive study. But
one word will express what the Duke of Wellington
was politically; his death leaves a void in the poli-
tical system of England, for he was not only a man
of counsel, he was an authority. Although a stranger
for a long time past to active affairs, he still parti-
cipated in them by his judgment, and his approba-
tion or his blame was considered as a triumph or a
check for parties. He had the right, which belongs
to all in a free country, of telling the truth; but to him
was reserved the privilege of causing it to be accepted
by the Crown as well as by Parliament. How, then,
could England refrain from being moved, when that great
intelligence, by which she was:sure of never being misled,
becomes extinguished?"
There is a long article by M. VERON in the C.nsti-
tutionnel 013 the visit of the PRINCE PRESIDENT to the
South. The object of the writer is chiefly to show
that by this visit the PRINCE gives fresh importance
to the population of the departments in the desire
that they feel to have a fair political influence, and to
allow Paris no longer to declare with truth that
" Paris is France." There is a great deal of truth in
the description that the writer gives of the successful
impunity with which a turbulent minority in the ca-
pital has on different occasions overthrown the exist-
ing Government, and substituted one of its own. In
no instance could the revolution be attributed to
public opinion in the proper sense of the word even in
the capital itself. It was the work of a few ambitious
men, seconded by a mob aiming at destruction, when
public opinion called only for reform.
The Ministerial organ, the Pays has an article on
the abort speech made by the PRINCE PRESIDENT to
M. CHARLES DUPIN at Nevers. The Pays regards
this speech, taken in connexion with the opinion
manifested in the departments, as indicative of the
near approach of the empire.
M. GUIZOT has just arrived in Paris, but only in-
tends to remain a short time.

The Bourse was extremely animated, and public secu-
rities, particularly railway shares, rose in prico, The
Four-and-a-Half per Cents. opened at 103 f. 90c., and
closed at 103 f. 95c. for the end of the month; the Three

a report i❑ circulation the Government is said to have
an intention of sending the Consul• General of Prus-
