THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

We have received the Paris journals of yesterday.
The following in the address of Marshal JEROME
BONAPARTE to the Senate at its last sitting :
Messieurs les tetnateurs,—Our order of the day is
exhausted, and in a few minutes you will have read to
you a decree from the Prince President of the Republic,
.tin,t,,.., an end to our labours for the session. During
the time that the Senate has been holding its sittings, it
has worthily performed its duty. It has responded, as
was to be expected, to the confidence of the chief of the
State, and to the hope of the country. After a con-
scientious examination, and discussions, remarkable for
their ability, it has adopted two organic senatus coniulta,
which the Constitution has allowed it to vote. The
sanction which it has given to the bills voted by the Le•
gislative Body was always preceded by an examination
which will add to their moral authority and to their influ-
ence over the populations. &fore we separate, permit me,
gentlemen, to thank you for the co-operation which you
have afforded me, and on which I had fully reckoned;
for, between you and me, there is an indissoluble bond,
that of the sympathy and devotedness which unite us to
the country and to the Prince President of the Republic,
who, like us. has only in view the welfare, honour, and
independence of our country."
This address was received with loud marks of ap-
probation.

The Illoniteur says—" Rumours have been disse-
minated of a plot having been discovered in a regi-
ment, and have been even accredited in divers journals.
We. are able to give a positive contradiction to these
rumours, which do not rest on any real foundation.
The army will remain, what it has hitherto been, firm
and devoted to its duties."
M. DE LAMARTINE, who recently left Paris, is at
present in Burgundy, at his residence at St. Point.
The French Government has given orders that a
marble bust of the late Dr. RECAMIER shall be imme-
diately executed and placed in the large hall of the
Academy of Medicine.
The Bank of France has during the last week been
sending considerable sums in notes and cash to Lyons,
St. Etienne, Avignon, and Marseilles. These remit-
tances are rendered necessary by the purchases made
in connexion with the silk crops, which every year at
this period give great activity to business in the de-
partments of the south.
The Constitutionxel says :—" Some few days of
fine weather and of heat have made a most wonderful
change in the appearance of the crops in almost all
the departments. The hay crop, which at one time
appeared to be destroyed in the north of France, now
holds out the most flattering hopes. In several points
of the Pas de Calais, rye-cutting has commenced, and
the grain is remarkably fine ; for many years, the
crops of itix have not bad such a healthy appearance ;
as to the wheat, the farmers are of opinion that the
present harvest will equal the most abundant years.
The colzas, which are about to be cut, are in general
very satisfactory. The accounts from the centre and
the south of France are likewise good, with the ex-
ception of the districts which have suffered from the
late inundations. Very little wheat has as yet been
cut in the Bordelais, but the crop is at least an
average one. More to the southward, the harvest is
more advanced. The account of the state of the vine-
yards in the Bordelais are less unsatisfactory than
those from the vineyards on the Rhone. The price
of wheat and flour has already fallen at the Halle, in
consequence of the fine weather."
A Paris correspondent of the _Emancipation, of
Brussels says—" The PRESIDENT of the Republic is
now busily employed in improving his residence at
St. Cloud. He is having the trees, shrubs, and
alleys arranged on a new plan; he wishes to arrange
near the palace of St. Cloud a park similar to those
seen around noblemen's residences in England, and
for this object the PRINCE is, it is said, purchasing
woods and properties in the neighbourhood. The
visit which the ex King made to St. Cloud on Satur-
day was for the purpose of taking leave of his nephew,
as he proposes to make a little excursion to the coasts
of Brittany and Normandy. He will probably visit
Nantes, Lorient, Brest, St. Malo, &c. The PRINCE
PRESIDENT has placed at the disposal of the Marshal
the steam screw corvette La Reine Hortense, which
is now at Havre."

The French squadron of evolution anchored on the
6th in the port of Toulon, coming from Algiers and
the Balearic Isles.
