THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

We have received the Paris papers of yesterday.
The Muaiteur publi6hes the following telegrapi
dispatches from Lyons.
" THE PREFECT OF THE RHONE TO THE MINISTER
THE INTERIOR.

" LYONS, JUNE 16, EIGHT, AM.
" The night has been good, the troops are masters of
all the positions at the Croix Rousse and in Lyons.
"If the conflict should recommence, force will remain
with the Government."
LYONS, JUNE 16, HALF-PAST NINE, A.M.
" The insurrection of Lyons is subdued; all is over."
The National, the Presse, and the Siecle publish the
following circular :
"THE CENSORSHIP IS RE-ESTABLISHED.

The censorship is re-established, oaly it is re-es.
tablished officiously instead of officially. A police-agent
presented himself this day (Sunday) at the office of the
Siecle, the Presse, and the National, to warn these jour-
nals that if they persisted in repeating their views as to
the interpretation given by the majority to the Articles
5 and 54 of the constitution, the majority of the Chamber
would, on an interpellation being raised on the subject,
authorise the putting of the offending journal under se-
questration.
" We submit to force, but we desire that the public
should know that our pen is no longer free."
The journals of the Parti-pretre are now beginning
to throw off the mask. The Univers, the avowed
organ of the Jesuits, demands the re-establishment
of the Censorship—a somewhat strange demand to
come now from those who for the last twenty years
have been brawling for what they curiously call
" liberty of public instruction." The Assemblie
Nationale calls upon the Executive to put down the
revolutionary idea, and the Province thus expounds
the rights of a majority :—"lf," says this journal,
" the majority of 500 votes in the Legislative As-
sembly thought proper to call a pretender to the
Throne, this act would be legal if the people did not
repress it." Verily, the whites are as they always
have been, utterly unteachable ; no wisdom have they
learned by the events of the last eighteen years, but
no sooner are they installed in power in 1849, than
they commence, as in 1829, sowing the seeds of revo-
lution, broad• cast.
The Journal des Debats has the following from
Rome. It is dated the 10th :
" The third parallel was opened on the previous night
at fifty yards from the walls. The fortifications of Rome
not being protected in the same manner as those of
Paris, the approaches to them are much less difficult,
and subject to much less loss from the fire of the enemy.
Two days more will suffice for the completion of the
third parallel, and for the construction of the breaching
batteries. It therefore appears probable that on the 12th
or 13th the walls would have fallen beneath the fire of
our heavy guns. We do not exactly know in what part
of the ramparts it is proposed to make the breach. That
is generally the secret of the attacking party, in order
that the besieged may not throw up intrenchments within
that part, From accounts we have received, however, it
is supposed that the breach will be opened at the salient
angle of the Mount Janiculus, between the gate of San
Pancraz:o on the left and Porte Portese on the right.
Mount Janiculus is covered with open grounds and de-
tached houses, and, as there are neither streets nor bar-
ricades, an entry would meet with no obstacles, and from
thence the whole of the quarter Transtevere would be
commanded."

The expectations expressed in the above letter have
not been fulfilled, as it was known in Paris that
Rome still held out on the 14th.
The proprietor of the Republique has announced
his intention of proceeding under the penal code
against those members of the National Guard who
violated his domicile and broke his presses. The
conductors of this outrage introduced during its per-
petration a corps of armed men into the compositors'
room, and gave them these orders, " If yQU see one
of those men (pointing to the compositors) stir, fire
upon them." It is to be hoped that these " gentle-
men" will be severely punished.
A letter from Civita Vecchia, dated the 11th,
announces that the Duke D'HARCOURT and M. DE
RAYNEVAL had landed there from Gaeta. They had
proceeded to General OUDINOT'S head-quarters.
General BACHELOR, one of the most distinguished
veterans of the empire, and a devoted friend of the
PRESIDENT of the Republic, died in Paris on Saturday.
BOURSE—PARIS, MONDAY, JUNE 18. ;
THREE O'CLOCR..--The rise in French Funds conti-
nued to-day, and in the Five per Cents, the rise since
Saturday is no less than 2 per cent. Bank of France
Shares and Railway Shares participated in the improve-
ment. Roman Stock rose no less than 7 per cent., in
consequence of a rumour that an arrangement had been
come to, by which the French would be allowed to
occupy Rome by capitulation. M. Accarsi, who left
Paris this morning, is said to be the bearer of a proposi-
tioni likely to satisfy all parties. The rapid advance n
the Funds gave rise to the report that the French had
actually entered Rome, but this we believe is not the case.
They had not entered cn the 14th. Exchange on Lon-
don (30 days), 25 45; ditto (90 days), 25 35.
