mE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

We have received the Paris papers of yesterday.
In the Assembly on Thursday M. BAROCHE pre-
sided instead of M. DUPIN, and) M. ANTONY
THOURET placed in his hands a resolution of censure
on M. DUPIN, for the illegal, unfair, and partial
manner in which he had acted on the previous day, in
permitting M. SEGUE D'AUGUESSEAU to insult the
Republic without calling him to order, and
in calling to order thirty Members at once
who protested against the insults of M. SEGUE,
The proposition was received by M. BAROCITIE.
who immediately moved the order of the day, put
the question without suffering any discussion, and
decided that the order of the day was carried by an
immense majority. M. DUPIN, however, will not be
suffered to escape by this paltry manoeuvre. A
protest has been signed by upwards of 120 represen-
tatives against the proceedings of M. Durex ' • and the
Seid of Louis PHILIPPE will not be permitted without
linterruption to pursue his designs for the betrayal of
the Republic, and for opening the road to power to
the colleagues of the TESTES, the CURIBRES, and the
Pitionnts.
The Democratic Pacifique was seized yesterday.
The Constitutionnel contradicts the report of the
intended recal of the Governor-General of Algeria.
The Committee of inquiry into the state of the
navy met for the first time on Thursday, and sat for
five hours.

The PRESIDENT of the Republic visited the Theatre
Historique on Thursday evening. On his appearing
in his box he was received with enthusiastic cheers.
It is his intention to visit all the theatres of Paris
during the course of the winter.
Galignani's Messenger of Thursday contains the
following useful information on the subject of the
postage between France and England :
" As some misapprehension exists respecting the rates
of postage on letters between France and England, we
think it right to lay before our readers the following
statement, which the Post-office authorities have favoured
us with :—The reduced rate of 80c. for a letter weighing
7i grammes, and so on in proportion, has reference to
those letters only the postage of which is paid in France,
whether on dispatch or delivery, while those paid in
England remain chargeable with the same rate of post-
age to which they have hitherto been subject in that
country, namely, tenpence for a letter weighing under a
quarter of an ounce (71 grammes). Letters may also
be prepaid in France by means of postage stamps, to the
amount of 80c., if the weight do not exceed 74 grammes;
but if a letter be posted in England bearing eight penny
stamps only, it is considered unpaid, and the stamps are
lost, which also occurs in the case of letters from Eng-
land to which ten penny stamps have been affixed. Wo
think it also well to mention that letters to foreign parts
prepaid by means of postage stamps may be posted in
all the letter boxes throughout Paris, and also that
letters so prepaid are received at the General Post-office,
Rue J. J. Rousseau, until a quarter past five, whereas
unpaid letters, and those the postage of which is paid in
money, continue to be received, as formerly, only until
five o'clock."

The Spanish Government has declared Mahon a
free port for bonding goods. It is declared to be a
general port of the first class of all kinds, and the
custom-house station authorised by the new tariff to
admit the introduction into Spain of English cottons
and other foreign goods.
