THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

We have received the Paris papers of yesterday.
The Ai° aiteur contains a decree from the PRESI-
DENT of the Republic, and countersigned by M. DE
MAUPAS, the Minister of Police, declaring the Paris
journal the Corsairs to be suspended. The decree is
dated the Bth instant, and has been issued,. it is be-
lieved, in consequence of a strong Legitimist article
which the above-named journal published in its num-
ber of that day.
" According to intelligence, " says the Moniteur,
"received from the Governor of Guadaloupe to the
13th of August, the sort of effervescence which had
manifested itself amongst the parties which divide the
colony had altogether subsided. The country en-
joyed perfect tranquillity::
Each of the Ministers in turn is, says the Patrie,
to accompany the PRINCE PRESIDENT for a certain
distance in his journey to the south.
The Minister of Marine is to leave Paris on Sunday
next for Cherbourg to attend the launch of the ship of
the line the Austerlitz on the 15th.
The Sicle has an article on the subject of the dimi-
nution of the interest on Treasury Bills and the pay-
ment of the twenty-five millions remaining due to the
Bank of France. It merely proposes to treat it as a
matter of business, nothing more. Looking, then, at
the affair in a business point of view, it observes that
the State cannot, like a pr:vate individual, come in for
a legacy or find itself enriched by a sudden stroke of
fortune. Consequently, the 700 millions floating
debt which bad been ascertained and certified a couple
of months ago remains where it was ; still it is happy
to admit that taxes are more easily paid. The re-
duction of interest must then be taken as a sign of
an excellent financial position, but of one which is
tending towards a good position. If the hands of the
Treasury be so full as that it can make its own terms,
the reason, according to this paper, is that capitalists,
unwilling to engage in speculations of long date and
subject to the risks of the future, are but too glad
to invest their money in Treasury Bills, which are of
short date and easily negotiable, and in this way the
whole mystery is explained. This abundance of
money, proceeding as it does from the savings-banks'
deposits and other investments, will not relieve the
Government from the necessity of diminishing public
expenditure by bringing it down to an equality with
income, and it joins in the pretty general cry for the
reduction of the army.
The Aloniteur announces that the Haitian Go-
vernment has paid 18,000 piastres (95,000 francs) to
the Consul-General of France in satisfaction of cer-
tain demands which the French Government had
made on it for losses sustained, and for indemnities
due to French citizens.
The Bulletin des Lois publishes a decree from the
PRESIDENT of the Republic, opening an extraordinary
credit of 150,000 f. to the Minister of the Interior, to
be employed in the purchase of the materiel necessary
for public fetes. This credit is granted on the ground
that the present supply is quite inadequate and unfit
for use.
The Marquis DE LAEOCHEJAQUELEIN has addressed
a letter to the Assemblee Nationale, which, after de-
claring that the address of the Council-General of the
Deux- Sévres, which had been attributed to him
by that journal, was proposed by General ALLARD,
and signed by all the members present, proceeds as
follows :
"Prince Louis Napoleon, in doing me the honour to
name me President, was well aware that I would never
repudiate my principles; he was aware also that I had
protested against the coup detat of December 2. I had,
in fact, told him so myself. Since that period, I, like
many others of my colleagues, was enabled to appreciate
events and the situation of France; I had seen men and
political parties closely enough to be convinced that, if
the coup d'etat of December 2 had not taken place, I
certainly should not have had the satisfaction of witness-
ing the triumph of my own opinions, but that we should
have inevitably fallen into the hands of a faction, red or
blue, which would have given us a regime of which I
cannot say that I should have in the slightest degree to
acknowledge the mildness. I did not desire to see the
present Government, but it has the double merit in my
eyes, first of preventing others from appearing which I
should have infinitely less desired to see; and next, of
will,
having its basis on the nationalof appealing to all
the men of worth, who are willing to give their loyal
and disinterested co-operation to the service of their
country, without asking for any renunciation of their
principles. Ido not think that Louis Napoleon would
think himself honoured by the support of apostates."

The Presse says—
" The household of the Prince President of the Re-
public is at present being completed by the engagement
of numerous domestics; but they are not to commence
their service until the return from the journey to the
southern departments. All the persons whom the Prince
President employs have belonged to the corps d'ilite of
the army, and especially to the carbineers."
We read in a Paris letter in a Belgian journal—
" I have before me a list of pardoned political offenders,
who owe their liberty to M. Belmontet, deputy of the
Lot-et-Garonne, under the most touching circumstances.
M. Belmontet, whose fete was en the 25th ult., as his
name is Louis, dined on that day with the Prince, whose,
oldest friend ho is, and who formerly used to offer him a
bouquet. Well, Belmontet,' said the Prince at the dessert
what can I give you this year ?" Some parrddons,
Monseigneur answered the poet. Hum ! paons I'
said Louis Napoleon ; but the persons whom I pardon
treat me so prettily !" I answer, Monseigneur, for
those whom I should have the honour to propose to
you.' Well, lot us see your list.' Here it is, Mon-
seigneur.' The Prince read Constant, ex-avoue, of
Castel Sarazin ; Berger, clerk to an avoue of the same
place ; the brothers Delbert, tradesmen, of Moissac ;
Lambert and Courtis, workmen of the same place. But
that only makes six names !' remarked the Prince.
Oh, Monseigneur, I have others !' and he read,
Leygne, workman, of Castel Sarazin ; Vidaloque, apo-
thecary, of Agen; Talons, maker of sabots, at Toulouse;
Floret, relative of the prefect of that name ; Manau,
advocate, of Moissac'—and four others whose names 1
forget. Well !' said the Prince, give that to Roguet.'
By this time tifteenproteges of M. Belmontet have been
restored to their families, without conditions and without
restrictions.

The new loan of eighty millions of florins has been
announced, and favourably received on the Vienna
Bourse. The decree announces that of the produce
of the new loan twenty millions shall be applied to
railways, twenty-five millions to the sinking of
paper money, fifteen millions to the partial repay-
ment to the Bank of its credit at the charge of the
State.
The postponement of the treaty between Belgium
and the Zollverein has been accorded to the 24th of
December next, on the request of the Belgian Go-
vernment.
The Hamburyh Correspondent of the Gth says—
"On Friday last the editor of the Reform, a
localjournal, was summoned to the Town-hall, where
the magistrates informed him that he would not be
allowed in future to make allusions to Prince
Louis NAPOLEON and his Government. The Reform
had published an article on the ball at the Halle in
Paris, and it had been formally complained of by the
Minister of France to the Senate."
The New Prussian Gazette of Berlin was seized on
the Gth for an article criticising in very severe terms
the policy of the Government.
A letter from Berlin states that a prolongation of
the treaty between Belgium and the Zolverein, has
been granted to the 24th of December next, at the
express request of the Belgian Government.
The Cologne Gazette has the following from Ber-
lin, dated the Gth :—" A Catholic priest, named
BRINDIN, from Greece, who has been here some time
collecting subscriptions for the Catholic communes in
Greece, has been ordered to quit Berlin. This ex-
pulsion, the motives for which are not stated, has
caused great sensation."
The Prince Regent of BADEN

announced, to visit the Emperor of AUSTRIA in

The Zurich Gazette gives an account of the won-
derful calculating powers of a blind youth named
WINKLER, brought up at the blind school of
cubic
tinter-
stress. He lately gave a public exhibition of his
peculiar talent, extracting square and cubic roots to
the extent of five decimals with the greatest rapidity
and correctness. He solved quadratic and
equations also of the most difficult kind, and re-
peated a number composed of 71 figures, which had
been written down and repeated to him once. He

AMERICAN NEWS.

ARRIVAL OF THE FRANKLIN.
SOUTHAMPTON, THURSDAY, SEPT. 9.—The United
States' mail steam-ship Franklin, Captain J. A.
Wotton, arrived off Cowes this morning, and after
landing the English mails and passengers proceeded
on her voyage to Havre. The Franklin has 115
passengers, 13 only of whom were for England, and
on freight specie value 451,500 dolls.,
of which
101,500/. is for London, the remainder being for
France. The freight list also comprises 600 boxes of
Indiarubber shoes and sundry merchandise.
This steamer has experienced moderate easterly
winds during the whole passage. On the Bth inst.
she passed the barque Peningham, bound east.
The steamship Asia arrived out at New
York on
the 25th ult.

The advices by the Franklin, which extend to the
28th ult. inclusive, contain three days' later intelli-
gence than that received by the last Liverpool pocket.
The news is quite unimportant, and nothing further
had transpired officially '2 iiith reference to the fisheries
dispute or the Lobos Islands difficulty. The Journal
of Commerce on the latter question publishes the
subjoined remarks:—

'The 20 or 25 vessels which have left this country to
load guano at the outer Lobos Islands can hardly be ex-
pected to come back empty. They will get guano some-
how, force, or it may be by
we
purchase.imla imagine; it
mmearibte bywill be at the cost of blood,
and may lead to serious differences between the two Go-
vernments; and in either ease it will begot a competition
for the sale of the maoure between the owners of these
cargoes when they arrive here and the agents the Pe-
ruvian Government, which will be disadvantageous to
the latter, however advantageous to consumers. To
disentangle the subject of these difficulties, would it not
be well for the Peruvian Government to purchase the
charters of said ships, if it can be done on reasonable
terms, as we rather suppose it can, and then load them
with guano on its own account, and consign them to its
agents in this country? At the same time it should ,
re-
duce the price of the article to s. reasonable figure, which
would be as advantageous to its owl. revenue as to the
consumers. The costliness of the article will prevent
an extensive use of it in the United States, unless
abated; whereas, if it were offered at prices for which
it can be afforded, and yet leave a handsome revenue for
the Peruvian Treasury, the consumption here would be
quadrupled in a year, and quadrupled again in two or
three years more. Tho effect wouk be to give to that
Government a much larger revenue in
the aggregate
than it receives at present, while a; the same time the
cupidity both of individuals and nations would be less
tempted to insist upon doubtful rigits for the sake of
obtaining the article gratuitously.
" If Peru can quash the American claim, or secure an
abandonment of it, by some concessions of this sort, so
far as Lobos Afuera are concerned (no other islands are
in dispute), she will find it much more economical on the
whole than to maintain the force which will be necessary
to prevent guano from being carried off by private ad-
venturers under a state of things lice the present, and
also more economical than to get int') a
quarrel with the
American Government. _ _

"We look upon this Lobos question as one of the
many about which a good deal can be said on both sides.
That much can be said in favour of .he American claim
Mr. Webster has shown in his letter of the 21st instant
eMPuienristveira.n claim That ills u:hh also can be said
Chown by the docu-
ments recently published in Englani, and ,
partly trans-
ferred to our columns, in connexiot with a communi-
cationitno the
favour Peruvian
o f t the
from Mr. Riley, who, we believe, is agent of the
Peruvian Government for the sale if guano. Now, if
the case is really a doubtful one, if there are evidences
of title more or less satisfactory in both sides, it is
clearly one of those cases which might to be settled
by mutual concession and compromise.
And the
proper bases of a compromise, we conceive, are
indicated above viz., let Peru bay up the
charters of American vessels alread) departed for Lobos
Afuera, and then let an arrangement be entered into
between the two Governments by which hereafter the
article shall be furnished at said ,lands to American
vessels at so much per ton, the prica being much below
that now charged at the inner Lobes Island. Whether
the vessels of other nations shall be furnished at the
same rate is an affair between those nations
and the
Peruvian Government, and therefor) we need not med-
dle with it.
" Under such an arrangement Tern and her agents
would still retain a monopoly of tie guano trade, bat
under certain restrictions as it respects the deposits at the
outer Lobos. She could still collect a revenue from the
article, even greater than at present, on account of the
greater quantity sent to market; any, if it suited her in-
terests best, she might close the inter Lobos to com-
merce until the deposits on the otter Lobos were ex-
hausted, if they over should be.
" We throw out these remarks for the benefit of those
whom it may concern. The leading idea which we
wish to convey is the duty of an Amicable adjustment
of the question on principles of
equity, having refe-
rence to the degree of title or colour of title, which
each nation may be able to present. We take it
the United States Government does not wish to
engage actively in this business, but only that
those wonderful deposits so long reserved for
the refreshment of worn-out or poor lands may
be placed within the reach of our farmers and shippers
on reasonable terms. The title of Peru to Lobos Afuera
must be very perfect indeed to justify her in locking up
for ages and generations those elements of vegetation
which are required for the sustenance of man and beast
in various parts of the earth, and which, while lucked
up, can he of no possible use to Peru or any other
nation. We think the American title is at least suffi-
ciently gocd to neutralists any right which Peru may
imagine herself to possess, thus to lock up in perpetuity
or for an indefinite period, treasures deposited by sea-
birds on barren rooks in the wide ocean—which trea-
sures are now, and will continue to be, required for the
sustenance of man. But, if she is disposed to recede
from her miserly attitude in reference to these deposits,
we trust she will be met by our Government in a liberal
spirit. If she will open them to commerce on reason-
able terms, let her have the sovereignty over them, and
the revenue derived from them."
Accounts from Boston of the 26th ult. mention
that the steamer Sir John Harvey had arrived there,
bringing intelligence that Admiral Seymour had
sailed for Prince Edward's Island. He was much
praised in the colonies for his vigorous course on the
fisheries question. The United States' steam-frigate
ISTississippi sailed on the 19th ult. for the fishing-
grounds. The crops throughout the province are as
great as ever before obtained. The mackerel fishery_
to the north of Prince Edward's Island was good, and
the Nova Scotians were doing well.

No. CCCIII.
THE DONCASTER MEETING.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SlR,—Doncaster—the greatest meeting in the north,
and the first in England in the opinion of the sporting
inhabitants of the county of York—will be the great
centre of attraction to the Turfite for four days of next
week. The meeting this year is under the stewardship
of Lord Ribblesdale, Mr. Lumley, and the Earl of
Derby; the last-named, I understand, has signified hia
intention of being present, having engaged rooms for the
week.

Tho bill of fare this year is equal, in amount of sport,
to any, and much better than most, of its predecessors.
This is owing in a great measure to the active exertions
of Mr. Johnson, the indefatigable clerk of the course at
York and Doncaster.
The first day's list comprises five races: the second,
five stakes and a match: the third, six races: and the
last, eight stakes and a couple of matches; one of the
latter, however, has the words "no day mentioned"
affixed to it.

The sport commences on Tuesday, as usual, with the
Fitz william Handicap Stakes of 5 sovs. each, with 50
added, for all ages, one mile, to close and name on Monday.
Then follows the Champagne Stakes of 50 sovs.
each, h ft; colts Bst 71b, and fillies Bst 51b. Red
Homo in; five furlongs 125 yards. This stake
has obtained thirty-one entries, of which not more
than five, or six at the outside, will be found at the post.
The field most probably will be composed of The Friar,
the Reiver, Vindex, Comfit, and another or two. This
race will, no doubt, be a highly interesting one, on ac.
count of the antagonism of the unbeaten Vindex and
Reiver. The Friar, though fancied by his owner, is not
likely to b 3 backed by anybody else, and can have no
reasonable chance of beating either of the cracks. Lord
Z3tland's Comfit will run wall, but cannot in this pre-
sence win. The previous performances of Vindex, three
iu number, have stamped him with a first-class charac-
ter. At Newcastle, with the olds on Lord Fauconberg,
he won the Produce Stakes with great ease, beating the
favourite by two lengths, and nearly half distance Ax-
well. On the following day, carrying 6st 121 b, he won
the Grand Stand Stakes, beating Anteverta, Est 91b, by
a neck; Lanabton losing the second place by a head.
The Hecate colt and Roger Thornton were beaten a
hundred yards. This performance does not look quite
so well as the first, as it may be said he only won after
a sharp set-to; be,
pounds to spare; however, to my knowledge, had
and being on the muzzle two days in
succession, is good enough reason, without any other,
why his running this day should not be closely
inquired into. His last appearance was at
York, where he won the Colt Sapling Stakes
in tho most (lathing style

Youthful-days. The victory was accomplished by twu
lengths, but might have been a dozen without much
exertion upon his part. The ring had the temerity to
lay sto 4 against him. For this race he must finish first
or second. The renowned Reiver Will make his last
appearance this year, in an essay for this stake. He,
like unto Vindex, has already appeared in public thrice,
his debut taking place at Ascot, where he won the Fourth
Triennial Produce Stakes by a head from ched_
dar; beating also Auld Acquaintance and War-
whoop, who were close up ; and Veteran and
the Cuckoo filly, who were a long way behind.
Some people assert, that had not Cheddar
swerved at the finish, he must have won. I dissent
from this opinion, and think, with many others, that the
closeness of the race was owing to the orders which
Whitehouse received concerning the Reiver. The Reiver
next ran at Newmarket, where he frightened all out of
the field for the July Stakes, except Dove, Amazon, and
Blue John, whom he, however, beat very easily, as he
finished ten lengths ahead of Dove, who was a length
in advance of Amazon, and both left Blue John far in
the rear. His next appearance was on the following day,
when he walked over for the 100 Soya. Sweepstakes.
The Reiver's performances, on the whole, do not look
quite so rosy as those of Vindex, but the result of the
Champagne Stakes will, I think, prove that
only equal, but superior, to Vindex. I should place the
competitors thus:—

The Great Yorkshire Handicap of 25 son. each, 15
it, &c., with 100 added; ono mile six furlongs and 132
yards; will, not improbably, be contested by Alonzo,
Miss Ann, Alp, Scarecrow, The Knight of the Garter,
Lerrywhent, Imagination, The Twin, and Infidelity filly.
I have already given an analysis of this handicap, and as
my opinion is not altered in the slightest degree, I must
still declare my conviction that in the favourite,
THE KNIGHT OF THE GARTER,
will the victor be found; Scarecrow. Alonzo, and The Alp
being his nearest attendants. Lerrywhent is much
