TUE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

We have received the Paris papers of yesterday.
On Sunday M. PIERRE BONAPARTE fought a duel
with M. Di LILVALETTE the responsible editor of the
Assemblee .Nationale, who had taken upon himself-the
responsibility of a letter which had appeared in the
columns of that journal, and which reflected in an
insulting manner on the character of M. PIERRB
BONAPARTE. The duel took place at St. Germains.
The parties exchanged shots at twenty paces without
effect, and the affair terminated by the interference of
tht. seconds.

The Moniteur publishes the law passed by the Le-
gislative Assembly extending the treaty concluded
letween the Minister of Finance and the Bank of
France on the 30th of June, 1848, for a loan of
150,000,000 f.

The members of the Bonapartist club of the
Beaux Acts have declared their object to be to am ist
in securing harmony between the National Asseniloly
Ind the PRESIDENT of the Republic on the ground of
the Constitution.

The proprietors of the Assemblee Nationale htEve,
it is said, agreed, for a sum of 30,000 francs, that all
articles on foreign politics which appear in that journal
shall before publication be submitted to the approval
of the Russian Embassy.
M. FRANCISQ,IIR Bouvar, member of the Peace
Congress, has given notice of a motion in the Assem-
bly for the reduction by one-half of the contingent
o' 80,000 men demanded by the Government for 1850.
A letter from Toulon of the 21st inst. states t hat
orders had been dispatched to the Admiral command-
ing the French fleet at Orulac to return to Frauce.
The fleet is consequently expected at Toulon by the
end of the present month.
The ITlOniteur Algcrien of the 20th publishes
the following account from Zlatcha, contained in a
letter from General HERBILLON, dated the 10th
instant :

" Colonel Canrobert arrived at Zaatcha on the IS th,
without having hail any engagement. He had made a
razzia on the flocks of the revolted tribes, which had
enabled him to furnish the camp with a supply cf pro-
visions which was much wanted. The farce of Colonel
Canrobert was immediately employed in assisting to in-
thr:place, which would:be completed by the 11th, on
the arrival of reinforcements coming from Constantiee.
More than one hundred men of the colonel's force had
fallen victims to the cholera on their march from Animate
to Zaatcha. The remainder of the troops under Gen.
Herbillon were, up to the above date, exempt from. the
disease. The siege works were advancing rapidly. The
fire of the artillery made great ravages in the place,
and the decisive moment for a general attack was fast
approaching. The negotiations which had been opened
with the nomade tribes had been purposely delayed by
them, and General Herbillon, at length becoming tired of
the delays, had driven out the emissaries from his camp,
and was making preparations for attacking a number of
Arab cavalry and infantry, which had assembled at a
short distance from his camp, before making a general
assault on Zaatcha. The attack on the place would
probably be made on the 12th or 13th. The Arabs in
Zaatcha appeared determined to sell their lives dearly;
they were about 1,200 or 1,500 in number, entrenched
in narrow streets, strongly barricaded, the houses all
pierced with loopholes. General Herbillon was taking
every precaution to lessen the effusion of the blood of his
men in the attack on the town, which would take place
by two or three moderate-sized breaches. The inhabit-
ants of Bon Cada had opened their gates to Colonel
Daumas, had removed all the barricades, and given
hostages for their future good conduct. The cholera
had made great ravages in his column, having swept off
more than 140 of his men. The cholera has generally de-
creased on the coast, but continues to rage very severely
among the Arabs further in the interior."
Yams, MONDAY, 5 P.M.—The Bourse was agitated
to-day. After various fluctuations, however, the Five
per Ct nts. closed at 89f. 90c., being a rise of 30 centime*
as compared with the opening price.

AUSTRIA AND PRUSSIA.
The rumour that the Austrians had protested
against the assembling of the Diet, and had threat-
ened Prussia with war in case she should persevere is
summoning the Central Diet to meet, is confirmad•
The answer of Prussia was the publication, in the
official Moniteur, of a decree for the convocation of
the Diet at Erferth, on the 31st January, and the
sending a dispatch to Count BenitriaDOßFF, the Prus-
sian Minister at Vienna, with orders to read it to
Prince SCHWARZENBURG, in which Prussia maintains
I,er right to assemble the Diet; and with regard to
the threat of an armed Austrian intervention, Prussia
replies that she awaits it. The bully SCLIWARZSg.
BURG will now be obliged to eat his leek with
most Pistol-like humility, for the idea of Austria going
to war with Prussia is absurd. Within six months
of the commencement of war, Austria would cease t°
exist; Franconia and the Palatinate would become part,
of the Prussian dominions, and Hungaryand Italy would
be free; it would be well for the interests of freedota
that Prince SCUWARZENBERG should put his threats
into execution.
