THE FRENCH REPUBLic,

We have received the Paris pipers of yesterday.
The Senate met on Monday, Prince JEROME Bo-
NAPARTE in the chair. It decided that there was
not any reason to oppose the promulgation of the Bill
concerning the definitive regulation of the budget of
1848. The report on the Bill relative to the defini-
tive settlement of the budget of 1849 was then pre-
sented by the Marquis D'AUDIFFRET ; and the mea-
sure having been forthwith discussed was declared to
present no reasons far not being promulgated. M.
RounEn, president of the legislative section of the
Council of State, was introduced, end read a senates
consultum, deliberated on in that body, and tending to
regulate the constitution of the colonies of Mar-
tinique, Guadaloupe, and Reunion. The Senate de-
cided that a Committee of ten Members should be
named to examine the matter. After several Bills,
lately adopted by the legislative body, bad been pre-
sented by Baron DE LACROSSE, the secretary, some
reports on petitions were heard, and the sitting ter-
minated.

The Legislative Body also held a public sitting at
one o'clock, M. BILLAULT in the chair. The Pre-
sident informed the notbe that he had received
from the Minister of State a new wording of Art. 1
of the Bill demanding an annual credit 'of 300,000 f.
for the servants of the late civil list, by which word-
ing, deliberated on, and agreed to by the Council of
State, a sum of 20,0001. was added to that credit.
(This sum, which is said to have been inserted at the
desire of the PRESIDENT of the Republic, is in-
tended to make some provision for the servants
of Queen MARIE AMELIE and of the Princesses.) This
-wording was referred to the Committee already
appointed- on rie Bffl '7lf: "G-otifrprerated the re-
port on the budget of receipts for 1853. There were
also presented three other reports, one concerning
the Bill demanding a credit for the works of the
tomb of the Emperor NAPOLEON; a second, on the
Bill relative to the French consular jurisdiction in
China and the states of the Imaum of MUSCAT ; and
lastly, one on the Bill relative to a credit for the mo-
nument to be erected to the late Archbishop of PARIS.
The reports were ordered to be printed and distri-
buted. The sitting was then brought to a close at
half-past one. After the public sitting, the Deputies
met in their bureaux to nominate several committees.
One was on the Bill concerning the concession of the
Caen and Cherbourg Railway, on which considerable
discussion took place, and in general the Bill was
objected to. The Bill relating to the concession of
the Bordeaux to Cette Railway met with general ap-
probation. Finally, a Committee was appointed on
the Bill demanding a credit of 120,000 f. for the fitting
up of the Royal Museum.
The market was very animated on Monday, and
a large business was transacted, a considerable
amount of which was said to be on English ac-
count. An impulse was also given by a report that
M. FOULD end M. DE MORAY were about to re-
enter the Ministry, with an understaading that some
material modifications in the decrees relative to the
ORLEANS property would be made. It was also
stated that the Government had decided on not
adding anything more to the public debt in the shape
of a loan, but that if money should be wanted for
the public service it would be raised by the sale of
some of the forests of the State.
On the late railway arrangements, the Constitu-
tiognel contains a long and exceedingly interesting
article, giving an historical sketch of the various in-
cidents which have now for the last six years delayed
the execution of the Paris to Cherbourg, and Bor-
deaux to Cette lines, and adducing reasons to prove
that the interests of the country call imperatively at
present for the prompt construction of these impor •
tent means of communication. . _

The Pays refers to the amalgamation effected be-
tween the Lyons, the Avignon, and Marseilles
and fully approves of the proceeding.
The Moniteur publishes a decree of the PRESI-
DENT of the Republic, dissolving the Municipal
Council of Toulouse.

A statue of the PRINCE PRESIDENT, of a larger
size than those which have been hitherto placed in
the public markets, was inaugurated on Monday in
the Marche St. Germain, with great ceremony. The
statue in question is cut in fine Tonnerre stone, and
is 1 metre 30 cen. in height. The local authorities,
with the clergy, and a detachment of the National
Guard and a military bang, were present, A grand
ball was given in the evening, for the benefit of
the poor.

The Academy of Sciences on Monday proceeded
to the election of a corresponding member of the
section of geography and navigation, in the place
of M. DE KRUSENSTERN, deceased.', Sir JAMES
CLARK Ross, of London, was elected by a large
majority.
The Siècle expresses great anger against the English
for keeping up the annivf rsary of the battle of Waterloo.
Tnere is some reason, perhaps, in what the Siecle says,
but it should not exaggerate the proportions of this
manifestation. It is not a national but a private dis-
play, and ought not to be considered in the light of a
national anniversary celebrated with the view of offend-
ing the susceptibility of the French people. The Siècle
says—
" The Duke of Wellington has persisted in the celebration
of the anniversary of the battle of Waterloo—a battle lost
twice in the day by the English, and gained in the evening
by the Prussians. We shall confine ourselves to the fact that
on that day on which French arms succumbed to numbers
and chance, England had for her friends all the Governments
which were hostile to the progress of human reason and
of regulated liberty. Is that a remembrance so honourable
for England? If we desired to place laurels on the caps of
our soldiers on every anniversary of a battle gained, it would
suffice to decree that the laurel shall form part of the French
uniform. It is not merely bad taste in the midst of peace
and of friendly relations between the two countries to revive
irritating reminiscences, it is also unwise policy. Great
Britain. when the ally of the despotic Governments, has
only led to ruins and reaction in Europe; but when the ally
of France, she created the kingdom of Greece, effected the
independence of Belgium, and assured first to Spain, and
then to Piedmont, the enjoyment of a constitutional regime.
Let then the Noble Duke, for the few years which he has to

live, continue to fele the 18th of June with his oldcom-
panions of arms. We shall not again speak of. it, for it is
melancholy to see an illustrious uld man obstinately repeat
each year a ceremony, scarcely excusable in the midst of the
intoxication of an unmerited success."
The Bourse was not so firm. The Four-and-a-Half
per Cents. opened at 101 f. 90c., and closed at 1011 65c.
for the end of the month; the Three per Cents. closed
at 701 90e.; Orleans Railway Shares, 1,2451; ROll3O,

SPAIN.
We have received the Madrid journals of the
17th, but they contain nothing of political im-
portance.
The Herald() states that the Portuguese Ministry
had presented a Bill to the Chambers abolishing the
punishment of death for political and civil offences,
except the following :—Attempt to assassinate the
Sovereign, murder or intentional bomiciie, perjury
causing the death of an innocent person, robbery in
churches, and robbery with violence.
Monseigneur GARCIA. TIIESTA, Archbishop of
Santiago, in Spain, has addressed a pastoral letter to
the clergy of his diocese against the absurdities and
violences of Socialism, and pointing out the neces-
sity for the clergy to raise themselves in the social
scale by means of instruction and true morality.
