THE FRENCH REPUBLIC

We have received the Paris papers of yesterday.
The strength of parties in the Legislative Assembly
was partially tested on Tuesday. A motion was
made by a Montagnard member to annul the election
for Haute Marne on the ground that the Council
General of the Department had improperly interfered
to influence the elections. On a division the election
was affirmed by a majority of 392 to 179. This is
the first division that has taken place in the new
Assembly.
The question of the dispatch of M. LEON FAUCHER
has been mooted in several of the Committees, but
nothing has been decided respecting it.
General CHANGARNIER, the man of illegalities, has
ban, it would appear illegally elected to the Legisla-
tive Assembly for the department of Seine et Oise.
That department is within the first military division,
and according to the Constitution a general command-
ing a division cannot be elected for any department
within that division, and consequently the election is
void. The Government, however, are exceedingly
desirous to prevent any discussion taking place on the
subject, and General CHANGARNIER, who has also
been elected for the department of the Somme, has
offered to choose the latter department; to this, how-
ever, the Opposition will not consent. There will be
probably a warm debate on the subject.
The reactionary party has formed a club intended
to succeed the club of the Rue de Poictiers, under
the superintendence of Count MOLE, the Duc DE
BROGLIE, Marshal BUGEAUD, M. TUIERS, and M.
BERATES. This club numbers about 300 members.
Its candidate for the Presidential chair of the As-
sembly is M. DuriN.
In opposition to this ultra club there has been
formed a club of moderate Republicans, with M.
DUFAURE as president, General BEDEAU and M.
PAILLET as vice-presidents, and MM. PanriN and
OSCAR LAFAYETTE as secretaries. This club numbers
700 members, and will be enabled to turn the balance
on almost every question that may arise in the
Assembly.
On the breaking up of the sitting on Tuesday
MM. LAGRANGE and BOICUOT were carried by the
crowd of Socialists outside in triumph to the Place
de Bourgogne ; a similar honour was intended for
M. FLocoN, who, however, avoided it by taking
refuge in a shop. M. ARMAND MARRAST was, on
the contrary, hooted and grossly insulted, and poor
little M. TRIERS was compelled to shout "Vive la
Republique Democratique et Sociale." The crowd
dispersed on the approach of the police ; several
arrests were made.

Accounts from Algeria state that the Deputies for
that colony will probably be MM. DIDIER and EMILE
BARRAULT (Socialists), who are at the head of the
poll, and M. EMILE DE GIRARDIN, who was 225
ahead of M. DE RANGE when the steamer left. The
Due D'AUMALE obtained only 2,500 votes.
A letter from Toulon, in the Constitutionnel, has
the following :
" On the departure of the Narvel from Civita Vecchia
on the 23d, it was known there that the Roman Govern-
ment had rejected the ultimatum of the French Re-
public. The latter demands the immediate occupation of
Rome by her troops, the dissolution of the Constituent
Assembly, the disarming of the Lombardian, Tuscan,
Piedinontese, and Neapolitan refugees, and their imme-
diate expulsion from the capital.
" A secretary of the embassy, the bearer of the reply
of the Roman Government to the propositions of M.
Lesseps, has arrived by the Narvel, and has set off for
Paris.

" Our troops were encamped quite close to Rome, and
the armistice expired on the 25th; but it was thought
that the suspension of hostilities would be renewed.
Fresh instructions from Paris are waited for as to future
operations.

The following is from the Debarts:—
"It is positively stated that M. Mercier and M. de La
Tour d'Auvergue have arrived in Paris, bringing im-
portant dispatches from M. F. de Lesseps and General
(fudinot, relative to the state of affairs at Rome."
The Monileur publishes a return of the imports and
exports into France for the first four months of 1849,
with a comparative return of the corresponding
periods of 1847 and 1848. This return is the most
satisfactory proof we have hitherto had of the revival
of commerce in France. The receipts for imports
for the first four months of 1849 amount to
36,093,907 f., while in 1848 they amounted to
26,786,968 f. only. In 1847 they were 43,720,267 f.
The returns from the month of April show thp im-
provement in a more striking manner. The receipts
on imports in April, 1847, were 10,750,672 E ; in
April,
1848, 3,764,599 f.; and hi April, 1849,

10,481,644 f. The exports and shipping are also
improving.
The King of PRUSSIA has accredited the Count de
HATZFELD as Envoy Extraordinary and Minister
Plenipotentiary to the French Republic.
The Ministerial crisis still continues, and seems
less likely to be brought to a conclusion than it did a
week since.

BOURSE.—PARIS, WEDNESDAY, MAY 30.
THREE O'CLOCK.—There has been a serious fall at
the Bourse to-day, which is attributed partly to the
embarrassments of the Ministry and the obstacles which
have arisen to the modification of the Cabinet, and partly
to the rebuff M. de Lesseps has received from the Ro-
mans. Exchange on London (30 days), 25 42i; ditto

SPAIN.

Madrid journals of the 25th have arrived.
The Government is exceedingly anxious to settle
the question of the tariff before the prorogation of the
Cortes.

The expedition to Italy has not yet sailed, probably
from want of funds.
