FRENCH REPUBLIC,

We have received the Paris papers of yesterday.
The Prince of CANINO, whose arrest at Orleans
we yesterday announced, has been informed that he
will be permitted to travel to Havre under surveil-
lance, and to embark there for either England or
America.
It was rumoured yesterday in Paris that M.
GUIZOT had landed at Havre, and that he would
visit the capital before proceeding to his estate at
Val-Richer.
A long discussion took place in the Legislative
Assembly on the presentation of a petition from
General CASTELNAU and various other officers
who bad been placed upon half-pay by the
Provisional Government. Colonel CHARRAS jus-
tified the conduct of the Provisional Govern-
ment, and General FABVIER replied to Colonel
CHARRAS. Whilst FABVIER was speaking a "scene"
occurred between M. LAGRANGE and M. DE COISLIN,
which ended in both gentlemen leaving the hal!,
accompanied by their seconds for the purpose of
settling their dispute by an appeal to arms. The affair,
was ultimately arranged without bloodshed, mutual
explanations having been given and received.—M. Do-
FAURE, to his honour be it spoken, refuses to lend himself
to the vengeance and avarice of the members of the
Rue de Poietiers' Club. He will not consent to the
wholesale dismissal of all Republican functionaries
demanded by the corrupt and place-hunting coterie,
whose chiefs are AIM MOLE, THEBES, and FAUCHER.
The Presse contains the following on the reports
which have been current relative to a coup d'etat
being in contemplation during the recess of the
Assembly :
" A coup d'etat may be risked when one has in one's
hands the ctanmand of the army intoxicated with vic-
tory, and when a head is staked against a crown; but
when it is necessary to borrow both the hand and the
sword of another, a coup d'etat would be difficult
and improbable. It is well known that a coup
d'etat, which would change the constitution other-
wise than in the terms provided for by Art. 3,
would immediately absolve Barbes, Blanqui, and Raspail,
and bring back those who had been condemned by de-
fault. The army would be divided, and the Constitution
thus violated would find more than one defender, whose
impatient sword would wish to start from the scabbard.
If any attempts to change the Constitution by violence
had been intended it would have been accomplished on
the 27th May. But now that the Legislative Assembly
has been allowed to assemble peaceable, there could be no
pretension tilt of making the nephew of Napoleon
play the part of Crew, in reviving the title of Im-
perator. That this dream has not arisen in some minds
14 more than we would say, for we have heard it
talked of, but what we would say is, that it is a dream
%bleb must vanish as soon as the eyes are opened. Be-
sides who would wish to change a limited power for an
absolute one ? The weight would only be the heavier.
and the punishment more cruel. The parties who have
talked. of the reception given to the President at Amiens
may therefore set themselves at rest, for what can result
from such events ? If it is not true than an usurpation
is in contemplation, is it mare true that any manifesta-
tion is in contemplation in favour of Monarchy, and to
crush universal suffrage by general acclamation? The
prorogation of the Assembly may therefore take place
without danger. It the Republic is to fall, it will he by
the want of power of the Republicans de la Veille, it
will be saved by the weakness of those of the Lendemain."
The following are the principal items presented in
the weekly return of the Bank of France

The Moniteur publishes a report from M. Du-
FAURE, the Minister of the Interior, to the PRESI-
DENT of the Republic, recommending several physi-
cians and clergymen attached to the hospitals of
Paris for the decoration of the Legion of Honour, in
consequence of the zeal displayed by them during
the prevalence of the cholera. The report is fol-
lowed by a decree of the PRESIDENT, conferring the
decoration on the persons recommended by the Mi-
nister.

The committee on the prorogation of the Legisla-
tive Assembly has not yet agreed as to the period or
the terms. It is believed that the Ministers will re-
commend that the Assembly adjourn from the Ist of
September to the Ist of October.
