THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

We have received the Paris journti2a of ves"erday:
Tn the account given in yesterday's Sun of the tri-
umphal entry of Prince Lcuis Napoleon, we omitted
to particularise the enthusiasm of his recep:ion at the
railway terminus.
When Louis Napoleon alighted from the railway-
carriage, he was conducted by some of the railway
directors into the saloon prepared fur him. The mo-
ment he appeared, loud shouts of "Vive l'Empereur !"
" V ive Napoleon !" burst forth. All the dignitaries
of the State, magistrates, generals, and high func-
tionaries, displayed the greatest enthusiasm. The
Prince embraced his uncle Jerome and Count de
Morny, and shook hands with several other gentle-
linen. He then conversed for some minutes with
those around him, and in particular with the Arch-
bishop of Paris. A grand dbjeuner had been pre-
pared for him, but he did not partake of it, nor did he
ascend the throne, though asked by some of the funs•
tionarie3 to do so. He remained about a quarter of
an hour in the saloon, and then, proceeding to the
outward yard, mounted the horse held ready for him.
The Prince, it was remarked, never looked better,
his long tour, of nearly 1,200 miles, having produced
Ito other effect on his features than to have slightly
bronzed them, but without imparting to them the
slightest appearance of fatigue. He was dressed in
the uniform of a general officer, with large boots a
ecuyer, and white doeskins. The horze which he
rode was the same noble animal, a dark chesnut,
which had attracted universal admiration at the
Fete des Aigles.
The Moniteur gives the reply of the Prince Presi-
dent to the Municipal Council of Paris, as follows :
" I am the more happy at the sentiments you express
in the name of the City of Paris, as the acclamations
which here receive me are the continuation of those
which have been the object during my journey. If
France will the Empire, it is because she thinks this
form of government best guarantees her grandeur and
her future. As to myself, under whatever title it may
buat'atgieen me to serve her, I will consecrate to her all
I possess of force, all that I possess of devoteduess.'•
The Pattie having stated that the triumphal arch
on the Place de la Concorde, for the reception of the
Prince President, was erected by the State, the
Illoniteur corrects the error, and states that all the
Preparations were spontaneous.
The Constitutionres/ announces the death of General
13ounet, commandant of the Polytechnic School,
Which took place while he was on a tour of in-
spection.
Sunday was the fifty-ninth anniversary of the exe-
cution of Marie Antoinette, widow of Louis XVI.
Prayers were offered up on the occasion ia several of
the churches by the Legitimist party.
We find in the Illoniteur the following particulars
of the release of Abd-el-Kader :—" The Prince has
marked the end of his tour by a great act of justice
and national generosity : he has restored Abd-el-Kader
to liberty. This act has long been decided in his '
Mind ; he wished to carry it into effect as soon as
circumstances should permit him to follow, without
any danger to the country, the suggestion of his
heart. At present, France has in his strength and his
rights too legitimate a confidence not to show herself
great towards a vanquished enemy. In returning to
Paris, the Prince stopped at the Chateau d'Amboise,
and having seen Abd-el-Kader, informed him of the
end of his captivity in the following terms
Abd-el-liader—l come to inform you of your libe-
ration.O, You are to be taken to Broussa, in the States
have been
Sultan, as soon as the necessary preparations shall
ta_en been made, and you will receive there from the
I,7_,nch Government an allowance worthy of your former
:1°4.• You are aware that for a length of time your
reitiPtLvi,ty has caused me a real affliction, for it incessantly
11.,, 'lined me that the Government which preceded me
9° Unfortunate
not observed the engagements entered into towards
humiliating
enemy ; and nothing in my eyes is more
to'utni.hating for the Government of a great nation than
pi, misunderstand its force to such a point as to fail in its
ac'n'i'e• Generosity is always the best counsellor, and
11 mai convinced that your residence in Turkey will not
Af °° injurious to the tranquillity of our possessions in
theriea.
Your religion, like ours, enjoins submission to
Ak,"%arnes of Providence. But if France is mistress of
th:eria, the reason is that God willed it to be so, and
hc:. French nation will never give up that conquest. You
ju:!) been
twit der the enemy of France, but I not the less render
'lOO to your courage, to your characte, and to your
ce,s_iguation in misfortune. That is there eason why I
it a point of honour to put an end to your cap.
Y' having full confidence in your word.'
The.'e noble words deeply moved the ex-Emir. After
having
expressed to his Highness his respectful and
eternal gratitude, he swore on the Koran that he
-ould never attempt to trouble our rule in Africa,
44cith
Lid that he would submit without any concealed de-
I 4 to the will of France. Abdel•Kader added that
of wouldbe quite to mistake the spirit and the letter
bthe law of the Prophet to imagine that it allowed
ey violation of engagements towards Christians, and
,‘,Pointed out to the Prince a verse in the Koran,
:utich formally condemns, without any exception or
"seri, •
eeb_ati°n, whoever violates sworn faith, even with
Conquest of Africa is a fait aconnpli ; they see in
thelet o.nstant superiority of our arms a marked maul-
:44oh°.ll of the will of God. A loyal and generous
Y is the only one that suits a great nation, and
iorwance will be thankful to the Prince for having fol-
lowed Abd.-el-Kader will remain at the et:le:eau
vela else until all the necessary measures have been
Connected with his removal, and his residence
llirousaa."
