THEE
T FRENCH ,REPITBLIC.
We have received the Paris journals of yesterday.
• Several of the-4;,3vespapers take pains to show that
'the accounts first published relative to the last.mo-
. meats of Prrllee PAUL- of Wurtemberg were incor-
rect. For instance, it is now asserted that it Was riot
a fortnight
,ago, but in the course of Fait. January,
that the Prince aNured the Protestant religion. The
POPE's Nuncio was note present as represented. lie
left the room beforethe death of the Prince; but had
administered extreme unction on the previous day.
And, moreover, the Prince of NVAUt -though he
certainly declared that the Prince wale-not ire, a state
of mind to desire any change in religion; did not leave
the room, but, on the contrary, rernaibed„..Vth his
relative till his' death.
The Union`says:—
" TWO years before hisa.entrance into the Itgaall Ca-
tholic Church, the Prince of Wurtemberg spoke to se-
veral persons on the subject orreligion, 4nd expressed
the doubts Which he entertained on the subject; it ap-
peared to him that a religion which originated from the
revolt of a monk, and was divided into many sects, could
not give either truth or salvation. About a year, ago he
said,.',l die a gatholic: Before abjuring, ho had seve-
ral ronferences with Father Revignan."
The Univers says that it was to the Abbe DE Its.-
'VIGNAN that the Princie first expressed his intention to
change his religion, and that he did so more thaU two
years ago. 'Paw rectifications do not make any
material change, in the general bearings of the, case,
for it appears that the Prince' has left no document,
nor writing of any kind, in which he makes the
slightest allusion to the subject of a change of
ligion.
On Siiiidai-the PRINCE PRESIDENT, accompanied
by Marshal JEROME BONAPARTE and a brilliant
and numerous staff, reviewed in the court of
the Tuileries and the Carrousel the troops composing
the 4th brigade of the, Ist division of the army of
Paris, commanded by General COURAND, the 12th
regiment of dragoons, from the garrison of St. Ger-
main, under the orders of General CAVAIGNAC, the
two battalions of the republican guard, the two bat-
talions of the gendarmerie mobile, a company of
sapeurs-pompiers, and 'two batteries of artillery. The
review Went off well, and the cries of " Vive NAPO-
LEON !" by the troops was enthusiastic. In the
course of the review the PRINCE PRESIDENT distri-
buted several crosses of the Legion of Honour and
medals of honour.
According to the last wishes of the deceased Mar-
shal GERARD, his. body is not to be laid out instate,
and after the funeral obsequies have been performed
at the Invalides, his mortal remains will be trans-
ported to the family burial-place at Villiers-St.-Paul,
in the department of the Oise.
-
The following is a brief sketch of his career :

aide-decamp of BERNADOTTE ; was Colonel at Aus-
terlitz; General of Brigade in the Russian campaign;
General of division in September 1812 ; Count of the
Empire in 1813 ; Marshal of France in 1830 ; Peer
of France at the same time; General-in-Chief at the
taking of Antwerp in 1832 ; twice Minister of War ;
twice President of the Council of Ministers ; Com-
mander-in-Chief of the National Guards of the
Seine ; twice Grand Chancellor of the Legion of
Honour ; Grand-Cross of that Order since July 29,
1814. The deceased took part in all the great battles
of the Empire.
In consequence of the death of Marshal GERARD,
there remain at present only five Marshals in France
—REILLE, promoted in 1847 ; JEROME BONAPARTE,
in 1850; and.EXCELMANS, HARISPE, and VAILLANT
in 1851. -
The funeral of the Polish General Count THADEUS
TYSZKIEWIEZ took place on Friday at Pere la Chaise.
The •cortege was very numerous, and the'body was
a
attended bymilitary escort. Prince ADAM SEAR.
warm' and General SKAZYNSRI delivered speeches
over the grave, in which they recapitulated the emi-
nent services of the deceased. Count VINCENT
kirszarez, the nephew, and Count Wonzisisai, son-
in-lave of the General, Were the chief mourners.
The election of the PRESIDENT of the Republic
which, according to the terms of the Constitution of
1848; was to take place at the Ile- de Reunion 120
days before the period for the election in France,
came off in January last before anything was known
there of the events of December. Prince Louis NA-
POLEON was re-elected almost unanimously.
The Moniteur publishes a circular from the Mi-
nister of the Interior to the Prefects of the depart-
ments, directing -the attention of those functionaries
to the new duties imposed upon them by the decree
of decentralization, and recommending them to sur-
round themselves with intelligent, laborious, and
strictly-honest employes.
The Constitutionnel says :—" We have been in-
formed of an act of courage and abnegation which
honours one of the members of the family of the
Pewee PRESIDENT. The eldest son of Prince Lu-
CON MURAT, remembering the traditions of his
family, has just engaged himself as a private soldier
in the 3d regiment of the Chasseurs d'Afrique. The
PRINCE PRESIDENT complimented the young soldier
before his departure, on his determination to demand
his grades only from loyal and real serVices."
The following note has been communicated to the
Orleans journals:—

" ThePrince-President received on the 121 inst., at
a private audience, the prefects of the Loiret, the Cher,
and the Loir-et-Cher, who presented to him petitions
having upwards of 12,000 signatures in favour of the
amelioration of the Sologne. The Prince manifested
great interest in this unhappy district, forming, at thirty
leagues from Paris, a sort of unwholesome steppe, and
declared that he would do all in his power to forward
the prayer of the petitions; he announced that a credit
was opened an the budget of 1853 for the execution of
works already prepared by the Government engineers;
and lastly, he led the prefects of the three departments
over which the Sologne extends to hope that he would,
as soon as he could, visit that interesting country."
A change of weather took place in Paris on Sun-
day, which will prove very beneficial to vegetation.
The quantity of rain that fell was not large, but it is
probable that with the change of moon there will be
abundant showers. The long continued drought,
with a hot sun and a drying wind, had begun to
create uneasiness as to the crops, but all the accounts
from the departinents concur in stating that no in-
jury has been done which a few days of rain will not
repair. 4
The Bourse opened with great firmness but prices
gave way before the conclusion of business. The
Four-and-a-Half per Cents. opened at 101 f. 30e., and
closed at 1011. 20c. for the end of the month; the Three
per Cents. closed at 71f. 95e.; Orleans Railway Shares,

It was reported in the political circles that the
Government intends to reform the electoral law, and
to effect modifications in the Constitution.
It is said that the Infante Don SEBASTIAN is dis-
posed to make his submission to the QUEEN of
Spain, and is desirous to come and reside iu Madrid ;
and that one object of the mission of the Marquis of
VILUMA to the Court of Naples, has regard to the_
reconciliation of the Royal Family. It is thougb(!t,

that the recognition of Don SEBASTIAN as Want

The late Prince DE SCUWARZENDERG has, says a
Frankfort journal, left a fortune of 500,000 florins
(about 1,100,000 f.) By his will, dated in 1847, be
leaves several legacies to different persons, and the
bulk of his property to the Princess DIATILDA, his
sister.
The unmarried ladies of Bremen who, in 1849,
worked a flag for the German fleet, have, in the pre
sent state of that force, sent to Admiral Baostscr to
I revoke the gift. They will not permit it to wave from
any vessel but a ship of war of the
"United German

they beg Admiral
Bsommor to return the flag, 4'lW a melancholy me-
