The Minister of War has addressed the following
lett:sr to the National ani the Presse : i

" Paris, July 3.
" I declare false from one end to the other the letter
which you have inserted is your number of this day, and
which you give as having :been written by me to General
Oudinot on the 13th ult.

" RULIIIERE, Minister of War."
The French Republic has acknowledged the Black
Republic of Liberia.
Letters from Colmar state that General RILLIET,
commanding the department of the Upper Rhine has
placed troops along the Rhine, from Huninguen, to
Neuf Brisach, to prevent the passage of the Baden in-
surgents across the Rhire.
M. Proudhon has addressed to the Presse a letter
from the Conciergerie, dated yesterday, in which he
declares that he dues not recognise the authority of the
Committee which has taken on itself to draw up the
list of the candidates of the Democratic and Socialist
party, neither does he accept the list. He says that
the authority of the Mountain cannot be invoked
in favour of it, as it has lost thirty-three of its
members; that the Democratic Committee, which
is also mentioned, is dispersed, and that he suspects
the members of it who remain; that he does not know
the Comite De mocratique des Amis de la Constitution,
which is said to have taken part in concocting the list,
though there is a Comite des Antis de la Constitution ;
and, finally, he says that almost all the members of the
Socialist democratic press, whose authority is also in-
voked, are in flight. He further objects, that the names
on the list are not such as the " situation" required the
party to select. M. Emile de Girardin, M. Jules Fevre,
and M. de Lesseps ought, he says, to have been
put forward; the first, because, after the victory ob-
tained by the party of resistance on 13th June, he still
declared the Constitution to be violated, and because he
now defends the Democratic and Socialist cause; the
second, because, after the declaration of the state of
siege, he recommended the suspended newspapers to
appeal to the courts, and because he might be
accepted by the Mountain as the successor of M.
Ledru Rollin ; the • third, because, notwithstanding
his Conservative opinions, he would have been
a protest of the people against the impious
war made on Italian liberties. M. Proudhon
then declares that -though he accepts some
names on the list, they are accompanied by others
which are objectionable. He says that it seems to
him impossible that such a list can triumph ; and
that, preferring the silence of his party to its defeat,
he formally declines to allow himself to become a
candidate.
The Presse and the National publish the following
letter which they say was intercepted by the Govern-
ment of the Roman Republic. The National intro-
duces it with the following observations:—
" Tne curious document which we give below has
reached us by two different channels. Although no-
thing appears to us more probable than its existence,
we in no way mean to guarantee its authenticity, and
we shall gladly receive any rectification which the
Minister of War may send us. The details which are
given us as to the letter itself, the circumstance under
which it came into the possession of the Roman T►ium.
virate, and even the manner in which it was sealed,
carry with them a great air of truth. The seal has a
motto—such as M. touis Bonaparte, it is said, willingly
uses, and which he borrows from the Chevalier Bayard
—' Fais ce que dois, advienne que pourra.' This ap-
pears to indicate that the letter was even written in his
bureau, by General Rulliere, before attending the sitting
of the 12th June last, and aterwaids thrown by him
uto the 1, tter. box at the Assembly."
The letter is as follows :

" Parie, June 13.

"My dear General,—You have experienced much
annoyance, and I much fear that M. de Courcelles
will cause you as much as did M. de Lesseps. 1
detest those people who will only talk when they
ought to cut. For the last two days we have had
warm discussions on your expedition, but you may
go forward without fear. The Assembly yesterday gave
a triumph to the Ministry, and contradicted the accu-
sations of the Mountain. In accepting the title of Ro-
man citizens, those savage Republicans have forgotten
that they were Frenchmen, and thrown aside (sic) the
sentiments which they ought to feel towards our
brave soldiers. Happily all France does not think as they
do, and you may believe, my dear General, that I am one
of those who the most frankly rejoice in your success, and
in all that you may accomplitih in the fine command
confided to you. Have courage then—persevere ;
but hasten as much as possible your entrance into Rome,
for with the impatient and wavering character of our
nation, you know hcw much depends on a prompt result.
Adieu, my dear General, receive this fresh expression of
my very devoted sentiments. " RULLIERE."
