TLIE FRENCH REPUBLIC,

Railwave Nomine 1 Pricer.

We have received the Paris papers of yesterday.
Several more Councils of .Arrondi,-sement have
passed a resolution in favour of an application to the
Senate for an appeal to universal suffrage to render
the powers of the PRINCE PRESIDENT permanent.
Petitions for the Empire are still being signed in se-
veral of the departments.
The Monitettr says—" While our squadron was
causing the PACHA cf Tripoli to deliver up the two
Frenchmen who hat been subjected in that place to
the most violent and barbarous treatment, the Otto-
man Porte bad hastened to send off a frigate bearing
an order to the PACRA to deliver up our countrymen.
There is an article in the Pays on the negotiations
for a renewal of the commercial treaty with Belgium.
The greater part o' it relates to the condition in fa-
vour of the protection of literary property, which
the French Government imposes as the basis of the
new treaty, and which, according to the Pays, will
not be abandoned.
We read in the Patrie—" One of the members of
the late Legislati,e Assembly, whom his violent opi-
nions have caused to be successively expelled from
two countries where he sought an asylum, M. VICTOR
Hiroo, has lately published at Brussels a pamphlet,
called Napoleon le Petit, and which contains the
most odious calumnies against the PRESIDENT. It is
said that one day last week a functionary brought
this libel to St. Cloud. Louis NAPOLEON examined
it for an instant with a smile of contempt on his lip,
and then, turning to the persons present, said—' Look,
gentlemen, here is Napoleon le Petit by Victor Hugo
le Grand. This happy expression, which has been in
circulation in the salons, has led to much laughter
against the ex-Mountaineer."
There is an article in the Gazette de France on the
subject of M. PROUDHON'S book. M. PROUDHON
bases the whole of his philosophy, says the Gazette, on
the negation of all that exists beyond the human in-
telligence. It does not admit that man is the creation
of GOD, but declares GOD to be a being imagined by
men, a fictitious existence created by him for the pur-
poses of delusion and government. The writer in the
Gazette proceeds at considerable length to show
that man is subjected to immutable laws over
which he has no control, the denial of the existence of
a power against which he can oppose no resistance is
not merely blasphemous, but ridiculous. VOLTAIRE,
says the Gazette, has observed that the existence of
a clock supposes the existence of a clockmaker, and
the existence of a world must imply that of a creator.
Was it necessary for the Gazette to take so much
pains to overthrow the groundwork of M. PROUD.
Hoses Philosophy ? To bestow time and argument
in refuting a man who asserts that GOD is a fiction,
is like reasoning with a confirmed lunatic in order to
convince him that he is labouring under mental delu-
sion. To discuss seriously the theories of M. PROUD.
r HON, is to raise a supposition that there really is sonv-.
thing in them that requires refutation. The best
thing that can be done is to leave them without corns
r ment to the common sense of the mass. There 5s
little danger of their producing any effect except upon
minds as diseased as that of their author.

-t Half per Cents. opened at 104 f. 60c., and closed at 104 f.
