THE FRENCH REP ÜBLIC.

We have received the Paris journals of yesterday.
Toe lioniteur publishes a second warning which
hits hen served upon the Constitutionnel in conse-
quence of M. VERON'S article of the Bth inst. The
effect of this second warning is to give to the Govern-
Meet the power of suspending, and even suppressing,
the journal in virtue of Arii:de 32 of the Law on the
Press, decreed on the 17. h of February, 1852.
We read in the Moniteur :—" Some journals have
ascribed to the Government the project of proposing
a law for interdicting work and sales on Sundays
-and holidays. The Government never entertained any
such idea. It desires that the religious law shall be
respected ; it has prescribed to contractors for works
which it causes to he executed that they shall not em •
ploy men on the days which religion consecrates to
repose; but there stops :its duty and its right ; it
does not belong to the civil power to intervene,
except by the example it gives, in an affair of con-
science."

The PRINCE PREADENT of tho Republic went on
Tuesday in an open carriage to Vincennes, and wit-
nessed experiments with the new description of gun-
carriage which he has invented. He returned by the
quais. He was only accompanied by an °dicier
d'ordonnance.
The correspondents of some of those English papers
which have shown themselves least favourable to the
Government of Louis NAPOLEON received invita-
tions to present themselves in the cabinet of M. LA-
TOUR DuMouLIN, director of the department 'of the
press in the ministry of police. On Tuesday after-
noon the correspondent of the Daily News waited
on M. LATOUR DUMOULIN, whose manner is repre-
sented as being characterised by perfect politeness
and suavity. The tenor of his communication was
that the French Government bad observed attentively
since the 2d of December the attitude of the Eng.
lish press, and regretted to perceive that many of the
London newspapers were not only hostile to the pre•
sent Government, but outrageous towards the
head of the state. Now the French Government
did sot ask for support at the hands of any
foreign newspaper ; it did not even wish to depre-
cate opposition ; but it was determined not to
allow the parson of the head of the state to
be treated with outrage and insult, and his
name to be dragged through the mire (traine dans la
bone). It was not only in the letters of the corre-
spondents that this offensi,ve manner of mentioning
the person of the Prince Louis NAPOLEON was prac •
tised, but also in the leading articles. But in either
case, for the future, the person of the correspondent
would be held responsible, inasmuch as it was only
fair to suppose that he furnished the false news on
which the insulting appreciations contained in the
leading articles were founded. The correspondent
was then given to understand that if either the Pari3
letter of the Daily News, or the leading articles of
that paper, contained any expressions outraging the
person of the PRINCE PRESIDENT, he would be consi-
dered as the responsible person, and be forthwith
expelled from France. (The correspondent of the
Morning Chronicle and Advertiser, whom the direc-
tor also has seen, has received a similar warning.)
The correspondent of the Daily News protested
against this principle. He stated that if the French
Government made the Paris correspondent of an
English paper responsible for whatever appeared in
that paper relative to France, it would act neither ac-
cording to the principles of justice, law, nor inter-
national usage. It was known that the responsibility
could only lie with the editor of the newspaper in
England. A correspondent formed no part of what
the French call the redaction of a paper. He was a
private person, who sent confidential letters, the re-
sponsibility of whose publication he had nothing
whatever to do with. The remedy of the French PRE-
SIDENT lay clearly against the newspaper, which he
might either prosecute in the English courts of law,
or lay a diplomatic complaint against with the
English Government, which would, in point of fact,
come to the same thing; only in the latter case the
French Government would hold the English one
responsible for the prosecution of the paper, as had
been recently the case in Belgium. When the PRINCE
pitEsmENT'S uncle became Emperor, he was attacked
with violence by the English newspapers; and he
took this means of redress. He caused a criminal
information to be filed against the editor of the news-
paper, who Was defended by Sir_JAMES.MACKINTOSit.
The upshot of the affair was the condenination of the
newspaper to considerable damages. M. LATOUR-
DUMOULIN answered that the French Government
could not accept the theory of the irresponsibility of
correspondents. For the charge of uttering false
new:, although it seemed scarcely necessary to touch
this question, the correspondent remarked that such
errors were necessarily incidental to the journalist's
vocation, but that they were in his case at least never
intentionally committed. In all events, he was sure
that the Daily News would have no objection to insert
such rectifications of false news as the Government
would communicate. M. L A.T01712, DUMOULIN
said that the Government was anxious to
afford every facility to English correspon-
dents for sending correct news ; it would even have no
objection to communicate at times important docu-
ments which it could not permit to be published in
France. For instance, the Count DE CIIAMBORD'S
letter, although the independence Beige was seized
for the publica.tion. of it, would have been confided
without difficultyloran English newspaper. These

ultima-
tum was that the Government could not accept the
theory of the irresponsibility of correspondents.
Whatever difference of opinion may exist among
our contemporaries as to pOlitical proceedings in
France, it is certainly to be deplored that very violent
personal attacks have been frequently directed by
some of the most influential among them against the
PRINCE PRESIDENT, giving but too just grounds for
remonstrance. Nevertheless we can by no means
acknowledge the propriety of M.Lkroun DuaiouLia's
views, as to the individual responsibility of a foreign
correspondent.
Captain KLEmu,,who was condemned to death by
a court-martial for the affair of the 13th of June, and,
whose sentence was commuted by the PRESIDENT of
the Republic to imprisonment, has just been set at
liberty by a further extension of clemency spontane-
ously accorded by the PRINCE.
The Presse persists, notwithstanding the former
contradiction given by General COANGARNIER to the
assertion that be had offered to invade England if the
Provisional Government of the Republic would place
only 12,000 troops
at his disposal, in stating that
the offer was made, and repeats what it had said on
the subject, to show .that its assertion was well-
founded.
The affair of the " conflict,"
set up by the Prefect
of the Seine on the subject of the decrees against the
Orleans property is to be pleaded before the Council
of State on Saturday. The report will be presented
by M. LEON COIINUDAT, a Member of the Council of
State, and M. RIYERCHON will address the Council
as Government Commissioner. M. PAUL PADRE and,
M. MATHIEU BODET will plead on behalf of the Or-
leans family..
M. &rents; conductor of the mane-poste` from.
Epernay to Sedan, has been nominated guardian .of
the tomb of NAPOLEON at the Invalides, with a
salarrof 3,000 f. a-year. He Was one of the persons
who accompanied the EMPEROR to Elba, and after-'
ward's proposed to accompany him to Si. Helena. The
EMPEROR bequeathed him 20,000 f.
The Union states that during the whole of the term
of his imprisonment at St. Pelagie,- M. PROUDHON
wore a white blouse and a blue cotton.nightcap.
The Corsaire of yesterday, in giving an article
about the Corn Erchange in Liverpool, puts the name
of the building in English, but, fearing that its
readers may not understand it, adds a translation of
it in a parenthesis and calls it l'Echange des Comes !
An ea-gendarme, nearly 100 years of age, named
HEILMANN, died a few days ago at Colmar. He
formed part of the detachment which conducted
ROBESPIERRE and SAINT. JUST to the scaffold.
