FRANCE.
In the last number of the Consilleur du Peuple.
M. de Lamartine publishes the following on the
character of the President of the Republic :
" ' I had no personal acquaintance, says M. Lamar-
tine, ' with the President whom the nation has placed
at the head of the Executive Power. I fancied him
such as my republican prejudices, and the faults of
youth, which he himself nobly avowed and con-
demned the other day in sight of his ancient prison
of Ham, made me fear him on account of my country.
—namely, unsteady, agitating, ambitious, impatient
to reign. I was once more deceived ; years had
matured him; reflection had enlightened him; adversity
had purified him. The walls of a prison are, as it were
the hot-house of the soul; they dry up the flowers, they
ripen the fruits. I have seen, I have read, I have
listened to, I have observed, have since 'known the
President of the Republic, and I owe

tainly interfered in the ballot which decided his election."
In the course of the sitting of' the Assembly yes-
terday, M. Dufaure brought in a Bill removing the
state of siege in Paris._ Immediately afterwards—
M. Arnaud de l'Atige ascended the tribune to ad-
dress to the Minister for Foreign Affairs the interpells-
tions relative to Rome, of which he had given notice on
a previous day. M. Arnaud described himself as a
respectful son of the common father of Christians
in religious matters, and as such bound to his
spiritual supremacy. But he contested his legitimacy,
as a temporal sovereign, and maintained that the
French expedition had been an attack against
the rights of a people who had freely given themselves a
form of government similar to that of France, and in
virtue of the slime right. In his opinion, the temporal
power of the Popes was not necessary to ensure and
guarantee the independence of the chief of the Catholic
Church. Like M. Pierre Leroux he did not desire what
he called the reform of Catholicism. Ho thought that
it needed no reform, and, in the name of democracy, he
defended Catholicism and Papacy. M. Arnaud was at
first listened to with favour, but by degrees his voice
failed, and private conversations soon covered it alto-
gether.

M. de Tocqueville, Minister of Foreign Affairs, said
that the Assembly might remember that he had con-
sented with regret to a public discussion on the affairs of
Rome, because he perceived inconvenience which had not
yet ceased. He was placed in a moat difficult situation,
for negotiations were still pending.—(Voices from the
Left, " M. Guizot and others said so before you.")
He would, however, say what he conceived to be abso-
lutely indispensable. M. de Tocqueville then read a dis-
patch, containing instructions which he had addressed
three days after his accession to power to Messrs. Ray-
neval and a'Harcourt. He told them that France had
three objects in view in sending an expedition to Italy,
none of which should be overlooked. Lie recommended
th,m to maintain the legitimate influence France aas
entitled to in Italy ; to restore to the Pope the inde.
pendence and freedom he stood in need of ; and,
finally, to guard the Pontifical dominions against
the return of the abuses of the old rigisne.
Eight days before his assumption of the Ministry
an order had been forwarded to General Oudinot to enter
Rome at any price, and a telegraphic dispatch, dated
June 1, led him to believe that the French would soon
be masters of the city. In those circumstances he wrote
to the French diplomatist that Rome should not be
treated as a conquered city; that the mission of thr
army had been to c 'mbat the foreigners who oppresses:
it; to consult the wishes and wants of the population;
to establish municipal administrations ; to prevent
violent reactions against persons and things ; tt,
occupy Rome until further orders ; and to secure to
the Homan people serious liberal institutions. He was
certain that, in return for the sympathy France had
manifested towards the Holy Father, he should not
hesitate to bestow on his subjects an enlightened Go
vernment. France had notified to all the great
Powers of Europe that she was not actuated by a
spirit of convest, and that she had neither the wish
nor the right to prolong the occupation of the
country ; but France had a right to take a part in all
the negotiations, and the principal object of the expedi-
tion, if not the only one, was to secure her legitimate
influence in Italy. Had she allowed Austria to adjust
alone the Italian question, the very men who now at-
tacked the Cabinet would have been the first to denounce
the state of degradation to which it had reduced the re-
public. He then refuted the odious calumnies directed
aggainst the French army, of which, he said, generous
voices had already avenged it frum the British tribune.
He vainly sought in history a more extraordinary spec-
tacle than that afforded by that army, after the fall of
Rome. M. de Tocqueville contended that the Roman re-
public was a mere regimen of terror, which only sup-
ported itself by terror, and that by destroying such a
regimen the French had deserved well of humanity and
liberty itself. The Cabinet had considered that, in order to
render the Pope independent, it was indispensable to
return to him his temporal power, modified, it is true,
by liberal institutions, without which that power could
not long endure. He knew not the nature of those in
stitutions, but he could pledge himself for the determi-
na..ion of his Holiness to grunt them, and give the As-
sembly a positive assurance that the expedition to
Rome should not end in a blind and implacable resto-
ration.

M. Jules Favre next rose, and was left at the tribune.

AUSTRIA AND HUNGARY.

The Wiener Zeitung, of the 2d, reports officially
that Haynau's head quarters were, on the 29th ult.,
at Felegyhaza, about 18 miles from Szegedin, and
that part of the army advanced to the little village of
Melycut without meeting an enemy. The Hunga- '
rians were supposed to be at Neusatz, Temerin, and
St. Tomash. Several Austrian officers have escaped
from their captivity, for the advance of General
Haynau was eo rapid that the Hungarians were com-
pelled to leave all their prisoners behind. It was be-
lieved in the Imperial army that strong entrench-
ments had been thrown up around Szegedin.
The same journal confirms the report of the suc-
cessful sally of a detachment of the Comorn garrison
against Dotish, and thus naively relates the result:—
" General I3arco sent immediately some troops to
Dotish to punish the marauders, but when these
troops arrived on the 26th the Hungarians had disaps
peared, taking with them 40 Austrian soldiers and
five officers whom they captured." It also contains
an official account of the ill success of an attempt
made by the Hungarians under Guyon to storm the
Servian entrenchments at Villowla and Mossorim,
from which it is clear that so far from Knicarien, the
11 Servian general, being in a position to aid the Im-
perialists he is besieged in his entrenchments by the
Hungarians.
A large Hungarian force has arrived at Tolna, on
the banks of the Danube, opposite the city of Ka-
lonsa, it is said that it is intended to aid Aulich in an
attack on Warasden.

A fresh supply of troops is wanted to fill up the
Austrian ranks, but Austria cannot venture on a
fresh conscription in her German provinces, having
already had three within a year, and she dare not
trust her Sclavonic subjects.
A letter from Vienna of the Ist, addressed to the
Independance of Brussels, says—" There are still no
official news from the theatre of war in llungary, but
the following intelligence has arrived indirectly.
Georgey has succeeded in reaching the great road of
Gcerecs from Pulnok, and in passing the Theiss near
Fokay, without having been prevented by the three Rus-
sian corps d armee, which were in echelonialong the road
from Gyungyos to Alisckolez, or by the two divisions
of General Grabbe, who was acting in the rear, or
finally,as by the strong reserves of General Osten-
