THE FRENCH REPUBLIC

We have received the Paris papers of yesterday.
The Committee on Foreign Affairs re-assembled
on Thursday, and after a long and warm discussion
resolved to send a deputation to the PRE±IDENT of the
Republic to recommend the occupation of Northern
Italy by a French force. The following was said to
be the resolution adopted by the Committee :
" The National Assembly, jealous of ensuring the
dignity of France, as well as the maintenance of peace,
founded on the respect of nationalities, concurring in the
►sentiments expressed at the sitting of Wednesday by the
President of the Council, and confiding in the Executive
power, declares that if the Government should think
proper to support its negotiations by the temporary oc-
cupatio❑ of a portion of Upper Italy, it may rely on the
co-operation of the National Assembly."
The Patrie announces the arrival of CHARLES AL-
BERT at Lyons.
The Constitutionnel says—
" It is announced that the Government has sent by
telegraph to Toulon the order for the embarkation of
the division, which is partly there and partly at Mar-
seilles. This division is ordered to Civita Vecchia."
In the sitting of the Assembly yesterday, the Mi-
nister for Foreign Affairs announced that the French
Government had received intelligence of the conclu-
sion of an armistice between the new King of PIED-
MONT and Marshal RADETZKT. Until the: de-
finite conclusion of peace, Alessandria is to be
occupied by a .mixed garrison of Piedmontese and
Austrian troops. _ •

It appears from the dispatches which have been re-
ceived by the French Government, that when RA•
DETZKT was informed of the abdication of CHARLES
ALBERT, he at once consented to the armistice which
had been proposed by Mr. ABERCROMBY and M.
Bois LE COMTB. The words of Marshal RADETZKY
are stated to have been as follows:

" The abdication of the King, who, unjustly and with-
out any motive, twice declared war against my Sove-
reign, is the most honourable amende that Austria could
demand. Far from wishing to weaken or embarrass the
new King on his advent to his throne, by the military
occupation of Turin by my troops, I shall be happy to
act towards the young monarch with all the respect and
delicacy due to one so nearly connected with the house
of Austria."

lie has consequently agreed not to enter Turin,
and the King of SARDINIA has consented to give or-
ders for the immediate withdrawal of the fleet from
the Adriatic. The peace is to be negotiated under
the auspices of the plenipotentiaries of France and
England. The new King, VICTOR EMANUEL, en-
tered Turin on the 27th.

During the trial at Bourges on Thursday, the
counsel for the prisoners was repeatedly interrupted
by the President, for making use of unbecoming
language.
" We are assured," says the Constitutionncl, " that
M. FORTU ROUEN, Charge d'Affaires of the French
Republic at Canton, has written to France for two
ships of war, as a precaution against certain events
which are feared in China."
It is stated in a letter from the Isle de la Reunion
(Bourbon) that in consequence of a disease in the
sugar cane, the crop of sugar this year is reduced by
at least one-third. A rise has taken place in the
price of sugar in Paris.
