THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

We have received the Paris papers of yesterday.
As we stated in the Third Edition of The Sun of
last evening, the discussion on the Roman expedition
was closed in the Legislative Assembly on Tuesday ;
after which the order of the day was adopted by 428
to 176, being a majority for the Ministers of 252.

as soon as possible, and accordingly he made personal
attacks upon M. JULES FAVRE (which brought on him
a well-merited castigation from that gentleman) ; he
eulogized the Popes of the middle ages, he abused
the Roman Republic and the republican principle,
generally; he lauded Legitimacy, he in fact talked of
everything but the subject-matter in debate. As is
justly observed by the National—f 6 M. DE FALLOUX
made no reply, no reply whatever, to M. JULES
FAVRE. He did not for even a moment allude to
the question which M. JULES FAVRE had so pro-
foundly discussed. This is an avowal of inability
which France will know how to appreciate. The
Minister of Public Instruction had but one object in
view—to draw off attention from the real sub-
ject of debate. With the insidious tone
which is so characteristic of him, half-sneer,
half-rage, he, at the commencement of his speech,
substituted for the real question a personal discussion
by grossly calumniating M. JULES FAVRE; then he
vilified the Roman revolution. We are not surprised
at it. Calumny is a weapon the use of which is per-
fectly understood by a certain sect, which M. DE
FALLOUX holds in high esteem, and from which he
has apparently received instruction. Besides, why
should not M. DE FALLOUX vilify that Republic, to
the destruction of which he has so largely contri-
buted? After the steel the poison ; thus runs the
logic of LOYOLA," Even the Journal des Debats
admits that M. DE FaLLoux was best when speaking
of the internal affairs of France, that is when giving
the go-by to the question before the Assembly.
The Assembly elected on Tuesday the following to
be members of the Committee which is to sit during
the prorogation, with power to convoke the As-

They were all nominated by the reactionary club
of the Rue de.Poietiers.

The Constitutionnel has -the following in relation
to the constitution of this Committee :
" It is true, as stated by the Presse, that it was wished
to place M. Thiers on the Committee, and ho was ur-
gently solicited to consent to it. It was, however, im-
possible for him to cousent, as he has been recommended
to refrain from any exertion for some time. M. Thiers
is compelled to absent, himself from Paris for some time,
but he has no intention of going to England, as stated
by the Presse, but to Dieppe, for the benefit of bathing.
M. Thiers could not, therefore, consent to be nominated
on the Committee, as when that gentleman undertakes a
duty he wishes to fulfil it."

In allusion to the above most carefully worded
paragraph, in which M. TRIERS (for it is from his pen)
swears by the card, we would remind those who may
be inclined to reg a..-d his actions with suspicion that
Dieppe is directly opposite St. Leonard's, where the
Count DENEIJILLT resides with his family, and that
a boat from Dieppe may meet another from St.
Leonard's in the mid channel in the course of three
hours.

Troops are concentrating on the frontiers of Savoy.
The Estafette publishes the following :
" The Government received today news of the
definitive conclusion of peace between Austria and
Piedmont.
" We can state tha t the French Cabinet had declared
it would consider tile non-conclusion of the treaty a
cams belli."

some of those com missioners had had an audience
with the Duke of Valencia (General Narvaez) re-

impossible to accede to their petition, but that a com-
mission should be sent to Catalonia to moderate the
alarm there, and ado;ot means of conciliation; and that
it was resolved Orlfinc To shou'd be sent, and that Mon
had been guilty of a grave offence in having neglected
the orders given in th e Ministerial Council. The Coun-
cil of Ministers bad ix (et again, and Mon did not oppose
the proposition. However, it having been represented
to Narvaez that M, an had not even then sent out Or-

sent him without further delay. This was thought to
have finished the affair, but yesterday Mon set out for
La Granja, in consequence of baying received an order
to that effect. A letter from La Granja says that
Narvaez had ordered the editor of the official gazette
not to publish anything upon the Tariff Bill till further
orders, and that Mon, highly incensed, had sent in his
resignation."
