THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

We have received the Paris papers of yesterday.
The Patric contains the following paragraph on the
subject of the Ministerial crisis :
"It is now known that the Ministry, divided on several
important points for more than fifteen days past, had re
solved to retire as soon as zbe result of the elections
Aiould be known. The moment having arrived, the
members of the Cabinet essetubled on Flidav evening at
the residence of M. Ilarrot. and atter a long discussion,
which lasted until an advanced hour of the night, it was
again admitted that it was of the highest importance that
the Government should present itself before the new As-
sembly united in their political views, while the members
of the Cabinet are not so on several important points. It
was, consequently, resolved that the Ministry should
proceed on to the Elysee to announce their re-
solution to the President, and to request him to act ac-
cordingly. We believe, moreover, that the different lists
of a new Ministry, circulated yesterday, are in every re-
spect inaccurate."
The Siecle denies from authority that any overtures
have been made either to General CAVAIGNAC or to
M. DUFAURE to form part of any new Ministerial
combination.
It was believed in Paris yesterday that Marshal
BUGEAUD would be appointed President of the Coun-
cil, and that M. DE FALLOUX would he a member of
his Cabinet. LOUIS NAPOLEON would by making such
an appointment commit political suicide. It would
inevitably lead to a fearful civil war, in which, should
the Republicans be victorious, he will be expelled
from the country ; and should the Bugeaud-Falloux
faction be victorious, he will have to cede his place to
HENRY V., for the restoration of whom and of the
par-ti pretre M. DE FALLOUX has been intriguing for
years past.

A grand review took place yesterday in the Champ
de Mars. The PRESIDENT was received with cries of
" Viva Napoleon," "Vive le President," " Vive la
Republique," and in some instances by cries of " Vive
la Republique Democratique et Sociale." He was
very coldly received by the crowd of lookers-on.
Some serious movements in Italy are evidently in-
tended, for several superior officers of high reputation
have received commands quite inconsistent with the
supposition of a small army.
Lieut.-General VAIELANT; president of the com-
mittee of the fortifications of Paris, is appointed com-
mander of the Engineers of the expeditionary army of
the Mediterranean.

Lieut.-General DE ROSTOLAN, permanent inspector
of the musket practice schools at Vincennes, is ap-
pointed commander of the 2d Infantry division of the
same corps.
General. THIRY, employed at Lyons, is appointed to
the command of the Artillery of the same corps.
General MORRIS, employed at Chalons-sur-Saone,
is appointed to the cavalry brigade of the same corps.
Colonel DE TEsrAN, formerly aide-de-camp of Mar-
shal SOULT, is called from the army of the Alps to fill
the functions of chief of the etat major-general of the
same corps.
In fine, several other superior officers have received
appointments in the expeditionary army, which now
amounts to 20,000 men of all arms, and on the scale
of what is called a grand army.
