FRIDAY

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

We have received the Paris papers of yesterday.
The Patrie says :—"lt was yesterday stated at the
Assembly that General OUDINOT had been recalled
by the Government, the army having nobly termi-
nated its mission at Rome. The action of diplomacy
must terminate the task of civilization and pacification
in the states of the Church."
On the same subject the National has the follow-
ing:—
A letter from Rome of the 29th contains the follow-
ing significant passage:—' The communications of
General Oudinot with personages whose pious designs
are opposed to every liberal idea; his relations with the
Austrian counsellors of the coterie of Gaeta; his
cordial understanding with --; all tend to render the
General, if not suspected, at least impracticable in tilt,
eyes of the French Cabinet—so seriously impracticable
that M. Oudinot will be recalled before a fortnight has,
elapsed. This prediction is already realised, for we, in
fact, hear that the order which recall M. Oudinot
Paris yesterday, but in order not to wound his suscepti
bility, no successor has yet been appointed. The coin.
mand of the army of Rome will be handed over to the
oldest general of division.' "
The Evenement says that the real motive of Om
tecr's recal is his decree re establishing the ecclesias-
tical tribunal. The conduct of General OUDINOT, who
is a much better Catholic than Frenchman, has been
throughout directed to neutralise the views
of the French Foreign Minister, and to
restore the POPE and the Priestly Govern-
ment, with the Inquisition, without conditions.
lle deceived and betrayed M. DE LESSEPS, and both
M. D'HARCOURT and M. DE COURCELLES are loud in
their complaints of his conduct. He would never
have ventured to set his orders at defiance as he has
done had be not some powerful protector in the back
ground, whose inspirations he has obeyed rather than
the positive orders of his superiors; and even now
that protector has sufficient interest to break his fall,
by procuring for him the effice of Grand Chancellor
of the Legion of Honour, vacant by the death of
Marshal MoLITOR, an office which, according to the
rules of the service, should have been conferred on
Marshal GERARD.
The funeral of Marshal MOLITOR took place on
Wednesday, at the Hotel des Invalides. The chapel
was fitted up as on the funeral of Marshal BUGEAUD,
and escutcheons surmounted with flags taken in various
combats bore the names of the principal engage-
ments in which the Marshal figured. Previous to
the commencement of the ceremony cannon were
discharged and the bells tolled. The mass wal
celebrated by the chaplain of the Invalides and several
clergymen. Among the persons present were the
family of the deceased, General PETIT, the President
of the Assembly, several representatives, the President
of the Council, the Minister of War, Generals
BEDEAU, GOURGA.UD, FABVIER, and a great many
other superior officers. The pall was borne by Ad-
miral MACKAU, Generals CHANGARNIER, ST. MARS,
and ACHARD. After the ceremony General FABVIER
delivered a speech in the court-yard over the coffin,
which was then deposited in one of the vaults. The
Patrie says :
" At the moment at which the chaplain of the Inva-
lides was throwing holy water on the remains of the
Marshal, it was announced that the Government had
learned by telegraph that the Marshal's wife had died at
her château, near Nancy. If this rumour should be
confirmed, the words which the wife of the Marshal pro-
nounced some months ago have become prophetic:—' It
is there,' said the Marshal in conversation with his wife,
'it is there,' pointing to heaven, that I shall soon go to
wait for you.' Pressing his hand she replied sadly, I
hope you will not wait for me long!' And her wish has
been accomplished."
In the Assembly on Thursday, the Minister of
War brought forward a proposition for bestowing a
reward on certain ex-officers of the late Republican
Guard who had distinguished themselves in June,
1848, in suppressing the insurrection, and who, by
the recent dissolution of the Republican Guard, had
been left without employment. This proposition was
strongly opposed by the Legitimatists, who seemed to
imagine that it was a matter of regret rather than
otherwise that the insurrection of June, 1848, had
been put down, and ultimately it was rejected, so that it
was decided by the Legitimatists that those who fought
against the insurgents in June, 1848, are unworthy of
reward. This is another proof that the insurrection
was encouraged, if not caused, by the intrigues and
money of the Legitimatists, and, coupled with the sus-
picious conduct of M. DE FALLOUX in reference to
the Ateliers Nationaux, and with the fact of
several
of the Legitimatist nobility having been found disguised
in blouses fighting behind the barricades, goes far to
prove that the Legitimatists would not shrink from
destroying society itself, if on its ruins they could
rebuild their old edifice of royal and priestly tyranny,
aristocratic privilege, and tiers etjt serfdom.
The Lyons Railway has been, it is said, conceded
to Mr. BARING. The Journal des Debate says—
" The company will be constituted with a capital of
240 millions, and it will engage to terminate the works
and to open the whole line within the shortest possible
time—in lour years at the utmost. The state will gun-
, ran tee to the company 5 per cent. interest on its capital,
and will grant it a lease of 99 years. It will, besides,
abandon to the company all that it has already expended
on the line from Paris to Chalons (said to be more than
150,000,0001'0. The State, however, will stipulate for
conditions of repurchase, and a share in the profits after
the shareholders shall have received 8 per cent. We
cannot vouch for the exactitude of the above terms, but
we believe them to be in accordance with the cahier des
charges. We shall wait for positive information on the
subject before we enter into any discussion on it."
Orders have, it is said, been issued for the recal
of a considerable portion of the army from Italy,
the Government having determined to confine the
French occupation to a few parts of the Roman ter-
rity. Accounts from Gaeta state that the POPE (or
more properly speaking the Camarilla, for Pio Norio
is in fact a captive in their hands,) still continues ob
stinate, and refuses to accede to the conditions pro
posed by the French Government for his re-estab
lishment.

The organic law on the state of siege was yesterday
presented to the Legislative Assembly. It is pro-
posed e Assemblyate e

be imminent peril for internal or
external safety. While the Assembly thus guards
the right of authorising the Executive to declare the
state of siege, it will give full latitude to the Exe-
cutive to exercise this power when once accorded.
Thus, it will not be necessary for the Executive to
come to the Chamber to ask leave to apply the state
of siege to such and such parts of the territory, but
may in that respect exercise its own discretion. The
Committee of the Bill refuses to grant any exception
in favour of the press, which must submit to the
consequences of the state of siege whenever declared,
and for the time be deprived of the benefit of trial
by jury. Immediately after the passing of this Bill,
declaratory of the principles affecting the state of
siege, a project will be presented for relieving Paris
from the exceptional position under which it is placed.

AUSTRIA AND HUNGARY.
CAPTURE OP RAAI3_I3Y THE HUN-

GARIANS.

priety by
On the night of the 4th instant, the Austrian
Government at Vienna was frighted from its pro.
the Governor of Presburgh, announcing that the
the receipt of a telegraphic dispatch from
Hungarians had taken Raab and were advancing
against Presburgh, and demanding immediate rein-
forcements. A considerable portion of the garrison of
Vienna was dispatched that night by forced marches to
the seat of War. The Imperialists in Presburgh were in
a state of the greatest consternation and alarm. It was
said that Auncir commanded the troops which took
Raab, other accounts state that it was taken by a
portion of the garrison of Comorn during a sally. It
is clear that for some time past the force under
AULICU has been gradually augmenting, and that he
has been co-operating with the garrison of
Comoro.
The object of the manoeuvres of the
various Hungarian Generals is now become ob.
vi°"s, GEORGEY has been leading PA SKIEWITCH
a wild.goose chase in the North, GUYON has been
PlaY ir g the same game with Harman in the south ;
and having thus weakened them by dividing their
forces, and leading them to such a distance as to
render it impossible for them to give any assistance
to the garrison of Raab, AuLicri has appeared in force
before the city, the inhabitants of which were but
too happy
thus cut off' both PASKIEWITCLI and Hal NAU
to open its gates to him, and has
from all communication with Vienna. The
tables have been completely turned on the Im-
perialists ; they who were to have surrounded
the Hungarians are themselves surrounded. Their
communication with Vienna is cut off byAtuacn at
Raab. PASKIEWITCH'S communication with Gallicia
is cut off by GEoIwLY, his communication with
HAYN AU
is cut off by DEatnnisnr, and HAYNAU'S
communication with the BAN and with Servia is cut

off by GUYON, while their communications with
LUDERS in Transylvania are cut off by BEM.
We may form an opinion of the state of affairs
among the Imperialists from the following account,
which, coming from an Imperialist source, is not
liable to suspicion :—,
" A Russian courier reached Pesth from Vienna on
the Ist, bearing dispatches for General Paskievvitch.
When he got to Pesth, there was no one who could tell him
where the Russian General was. Tne courier went on at
a venture to Mitkolcz. The battle at Miskolcz is given
out by the Hungarian party as a great victory. Lloyd's
Pesth correspondent reports that it lasted three whole
days. The same authority states that a hotly-disputed
battle took place between Felegyheza and Kia-Telek. A
third engagement is mentioned between the troops of
Dembinski and Schlick. The heat is intolerable at
Pesth, and the troops of Haynau had suffered greatly on
their march through the marshy waste between the
Theiss and the Danube. The water springs on the way
were all turbid and foul: the soldiers used vinegar to
m x wi h the muddy drink."
While Auracn has been taking Raab, and DEM•
BINSKI has been defeating PASKIEWITCH at Mis-
kolcz, BEM has not been idle in Transylvania. A
letter from Constantinople, of the 25th, states that a
courier, who had arrived from Galata, had brought
the following intelligence :—The Austrian Russian
army, 60,000 strong, which, after it had compelled
the Hungarian General, PEacznn, to retire, and had
occupied the cities of Hermanstadt and Cronstadt,
and other small places, advanced as far as Sarcani.
The errors and imprudences of PERCZEL in Tran-
sylvania, induced the Hungarin Government to
send General BEM to retake the command of that
most important part of Hungary. He (Blot)
collected all the forces under his command, amount-
ing to 40,000 men ; marched immediately against
the enemy, and on arriving at Sarcani of-
fered battle to the Russian General LUDERS.
The battle commenced on the morning of the
10th, by a stragetic movement on the part of
BEM, by which he cut off the whole of the left wing
of the Austrian army, attacking the right at the same
time, and compelling it to tall back upon the centre.
General BEM, seeing the disorder of the enemy's
lines, ordered the reserve to advance, which by a de-
termiried and gallant charge decided the day in favour
of the Hungarians. The Austrian-Russian army
took to a precipitous flight, leaving on the field 10,000
dead and wounded, nearly all the artillery, and 8,000
prisoners, among whom is General AULEMBERG.
After this battle General BEM again took possession
of Cronstadt and Hermanstadt. In Gallicia General
DEMBINSKI is also reported to have gained a victory,
and taken General FREYTAG prisoner.
The last accounts from the seat of war state that
the Hungarians had pushed on a detachment of horse
to Wieselburg, and were within sight of Altenburgh,
twelve English miles only from Presburg.: At
Gorgii and Raab the Hungarians found large stores
of victuals and ammunition, 80,000 bushels of oats,
and 2,400 head of cattle, which they carried off
to the fortress of Komorn. Besides this, they cap-
tured two companies of Austrian foot and six pieces
of artillery.

It is said that KLAPKA commanded the troops who
took Raab, which city they did not garrison, but
pushed on at once. Probably they may ere this be
in possession of Presburg, perhaps of Vienna itself.
