." The operation of introducing a catheter through an impermeable
stricture is, without doubt, the most difficult in the whole range of
surgical operations, and demands all the prudence, science, and skill
of a master. The art can only be acquired, and that gradually, by
frequent practice."—Liston's Operative Surgery.

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

We have received the Paris papers of yesterday.
The news of the defeat of CHARLES ALBERT by
RADETZKY between Mortara and Vercelli, on the
22(1, is confirmed, and it is stated that the French
Government has received a telegraphic dispatch an-
nouncing a second and more complete defeat of
CHARLES ALBERT on the 931. The loss of the Pied-
montese in this last battle is said to have been fright-
ful. The Piedmontese were almost destitute of
artillery, as CHARLES ALBERT had left almost the
whole of his artillery with the left wing of his army,
which, z.dvancing to Pavia, was cut off from the main
body by the advance Of RADETZKY. RADETZKY, on
the contrary, had a hundred pieces of artillery,
which plied the Pied►nontese infantry with
grape-shot, and destroyed thousands of them.
In consequence of the arrival of this intelligence, the
French Government dispatched a courier yesterday
morning to Turin to M. Bois LE COMTE, with direc-
tions to him to proceed at once to the camp of
CHARLES ALBERT, and endeavour to induce him
to put an end to the struggle and to abandon all idea
of getting possession of Lombardy: It is supposed
that Mr. ABERCROMBIE, the British Minister, will
accompany M. Bois LE COMTE and act in conjunc-
tion with him. The news of the defeat of CHARLES
ALBERT on the 23d having been received by tele-
graph of course no particulars can be known and in
consequence reports of the most contradictory charac-
ter were circulated in Paris on the subject.
It is said that there is a division in the Cabinet on
the subject of active intervention in the affairs of
northern Italy, four of the Ministers considering that
the time has arrived when an armed intervention
should take place on the part of France in favour of
the PicdmoWese. The majority of the Cabinet are,
however, opposed to armed intervention, and they are
supported by the PRESIDENT of the Republic, who
emphatically declares that France will remain
neutral. _

We read in the Moniteur—
" A journal has aiserted, and others have repeated,
that the Grand Duke of Tuscany yielded to the councils
of the diplomatic body in quitting Santo Stefano and
going to Gaeta. We are authorised to declare that this
statement is entirely devoid of foundation."

The Journal du Havre says—
" The Brazilian Minister resident in Paris has, we are
informed, remitted to the Government a note relative to
the affairs of La Plata. In this note the Brazilian Go-
vernment declares its intention to repel the aggressions
of the Dictator of Buenos Ayres, whose audacity is daily
increasing, and to pursue to the utmost the war raised by
Resas. It is added, that the Imperial Government
claims the assistance of France, and offers to combine its
attack with ours."
The report of the death of M. BLIN DE BOURDON
is confirmed, but it is said that the disease to which
he fell a victim was not the cholera. M. in BEAu-
MONT is recovering.
Sir CHARLES NAriElt left Paris on Monday for
Marseilles.
The proceedings at Bourges on Monday were
rather interesting, owing to the examination of MM.
GARNIER PAGES, MARIE, and PAGNERRE, members
of the Provisional Government. Their evidence
was rather favourable to the prisoner, General Court-
TAIS, of whom they expressed a high opinion. Three
Colonels of the National Guard declared they had
considered his instructions on the night of the 14th
sufficient without waiting for further orders.
• BOURSE—PARIS, TUESDAY, MARCH 27.
THREE O'CLOCK.—The Bourse has been exceedingly
agitated to-day, in consequence of the contradictory ru-
mours with respect to the news from Italy. At one
time it was said that the Piedinontese were completely
beaten; upon which the Five per Cents. rose to G. A
rumour got abroad, at the end of the Bourse, that the
::uccess of the Austrians was not at all so complete as
e as supposed, and that Charles Albert was strong enough
to continue the war for a lengthened period. This at
once produced a reaction, and the Five per Cents. conse-
quently closed heavily, at 84f. 80e. There is no doubt,
however, of the completeness of the victory gained by
Marshal Radetzky. Exchange on London (30 days),
