THE FRENCH REPUBLIC

We have received the French papers of yesterday.
The PRESIDENT had dispatched M. MEREDIS (who
during the reign of Louis PHILIPPE had been French
Charge d'Affaires in Russia), to Turin on a mission
to CHARLES ALBERT, to endeavour to dissuade him
from recommencing the war with Austria.
The greatest activity prevails in fitting out the
fleet intended to co-operate in the restoration of the
Pore. At Toulon a steam fleet, consisting of five
war steamers, is preparing for sea. On the sth the
Cacique left Toulon for Gaeta, followed on the 6th
by the Ariel for the same destination, both bearing
dispatches from the Government to Admiral BAUDIN.
Several steamers are preparing at Toulon to take
horses on board, so that probably the PRESIDENT
may send a brigade of cavalry to co-operate with
the land forces of the Allies. The Reforme accuses
' the PRESIDENT of being leagued with the Holy Al-
liance for the destruction of liberty in Italy.
The Ilianiteur du Soir contains the following official
announcement :

" A journal of yesterday stated diet, in the course of
the negotiations relative to the affairs of Sicily, M. de
Rayneval, our Minister at Naples, had had to struggle
against the policy of Lord Palmerston. This assertion
is unfounded. The mediation was carried on by the
two Puwers with the most perfect understanding with
each other. We think we can affirm, that on the 4:11
of this month, the two Admirals left together for Pa-
lermo, with the conditions definitively agreed upon,
and which are as favourable as possible to the people of
Sicily."
The Siecle, which may be considered as in some
sort connected with the Government, in commenting
on the Austrian note, furnishes the key to the
foreign policy of the French Republic. It says—

"• Wart War in Italy,' exclaim the plagiarists of
Danton to the applause of the National, the Peuple, and
the Reforme. But we answer, as soon as you shall be
engaged in a war with the Germans in Lombardy, with
the King of Sardinia, and the King of Naples, whose
thrones will be menaced by your presence, how do you
know that Russia, marching against Constantinople and
establishing herself at butte sides of the channel, shall
not suddenly create for you one of those perils which
even Napoleon, i❑ the height of his power, could not
think of without alarm? How do you know but that
out of this same war England may derive similar advan-
tages to those which the wars of our first revolution
gave her in America and the Indies? If, acting sepa-
rately, those two powers are so formidable, what might
they not become should they form an alliance? Have
we not already seen them combine to strip us of tho in-
fluence which we held in Egypt and Syria?"
The trials at Bourges were continued on the
9th. BARBER, ALBERT, and FLOTTE, who refused
to attend, were brought in by force.
The National says :—" An Envoy extraordinary
from England passed through Paris on his way to
Marseilles, where he will, it is said, embark for
Egypt with an application to the VICEROY for his per-
mission of a passage through his territories for the
reinforcements which Sir CHARLES NAPIER is to take
with him to India."

SPAIN.

Madrid journals of the Gth have arrived.
The Clamor Publico says Incredible, absurd,
and ridiculous though it appears, an armed interven-
tion in Rome has been definitively resolved on. Five
thousand men, witlf24 pieces of artillery, under the
command of Baron DE MEER, are preparing to attack
the liberty of the Roman people. The Espana also
mentions that a rumour of intervention was current,
and that it was said that General JOSE DE LA CONCHA
was to command the expedition. A Madrid letter
says that it was believed that secret orders for pre-
parations to be made for the expedition had been al-
ready issued by the Government. The Ileraldo states
that General NARVALZ and the Minister of Foreign
Affairs had received the Grand Cross of the Order of
Pius IX. from the Pore. M. D'HARCOURT, secretary
of the French Legation, charged ad interim with the
Legation, had arrived in Madrid."
