THE FRENCH REPUBLIC

We have received the Paris papers of yesterday.
The amendment of M. SENARD to the motion o
M. LANJUINIAS for the dissolution of the Assembly
having been rejected by a majority of 424 to 387, the
original proposition was adopted without a division.
It is supposed that the Assembly will have completed
its labours in about eighty days, and that the new
Assembly will meet in the month of May.
The Patrie has the following from Italy :
"We have good reason for believing that news was
received in Paris to-day that on the Bth, at two o'clock
in the afternoon, the Republic was proclaimed at Rome,
and that on the same day the dethronement of the Pope was
pronounced. The dispatch which brings this important
intelligence, which might have been expected from the
turn things have lately taken, also announces that the
Grand Duke of Tuscany has not left his country, as
several journals have stated, but has take❑ refuge at
San Steffano. The same news has reached us from our
correspondent at Florence."
The Moniteur publishes the decree, passed by the
National Assembly, authorising the prosecution ,of
M. PROUDRON for a libel on the PRESIDENT of the
Republic.
The Journal des Dgbats has the following from its
correspondent at Constantinople :
"By the last English packet, Sir Stratford Canning
received some very energetic and explicit instructions
from Lord Palmerston, which appear to have been writ-
ten after an animated conversation between his Lordship
and M. Brunnow. England complains warmly of the
conduct of Russia in the principalities ; of the violation
of the residence of the commandant of the Turkish
troops, in order to seize a person who had placed him-
self under the protection of that functionary ; and,
above all, of the ill•treatment which an English subject
had received from the Russian authorities. England
is astonished at the prolonged presence of the
Russians in the principalities, and offers to the
Porte the aid of England in obliging them
to withdraw. This communication has created
a lively sensation here. It happened most apropos
that Russia had just, for the second time, made formal
propositions to the Porte for the conclusion of a treaty,
repeating in some of its clauses that of Unkiar-Skelessi,
of disastrous memory. Russia would have made with
the Porte an alliance offensive and defensive. In order
to stifle for ever the liberal ideas which are fermenting
in the Danubian principalities, the constitution of these
principalities was to be modified, after being suspended
for seven years. During the interval of these seve❑
years the Hospodar was not to be replaced, Russia was
to undertake the police and maintai❑ order in concert
with the Porte, and at the end of the seven years the
two Powers were to agree together as to the future fate
of the provinces. M. Titow has just received from his
Court very pressing instructions for treating with the
Porte upon these bases; and already communications on
the subject have passed between the Russian Minister
and the Divan. This danger, however, is happily
averted by the new attitude assumed by England."
In the National Assembly yesterday, the Minister
of the Interior presented a Bill for the celebration of
the anniversary of the Revolution of February. The
Bill is in precisely the same terms as that proposed
by the report of M. PORTALIS. The fete will be
exclusively a religious one. A funeral service will be
performed in the churches, and alms will be distri-
buted to the poor.
The rest of the sitting, till the hour of post, was
occupied with the discussion on the third reading of
the Electoral Law.
M. NAPOLEON BONAPARTE, son of the ex-King of
Westphalia, has addressed the following letter to the
Moniteur
:
"It is by error that you have inserted my name
amongst those of the representatives who voted against
the order of the day on the subject of the interpellations
of M. Corelli. I was absent at the moment of the vote;
but I should have voted for the order of the day after the
frank and dignified speeches and explanations of the
Minister of Justice."
BOURSE—PARIS, THURSDAY, FEB. 15.
THREE O'CLOCK.—It was expected that the vote in
favour of the Government, on M. Rateau's proposition,
would produce a favourable impression on the Bourse,
and accordingly the rise to day is very nearly 2 per
cent. The apprehension of any further contest between
the Assembly and the Government has now ceased. It
is therefore to be hoped that public confidence will at
length make some progress. The news from Rome
had a depressing effect on the Roman Funds. Ex-
change on London (30 days), 25 27i ; ditto (90 days),
25 20.

GeneralwhoConcha were in advance,
police to their assistance, upon the approach of
whom the Carlist cavalry
made off.lt is not said what
the loss of the troops was, but the Carlists are
said to have had five killed and several wounded,
whom they carried off. General Concha reprimanded
his cavalry for having behaved ill in the affair; and
while he gave effective rank to a brevet captain who had
been wounded, and distributed some crosses among the

-
infantry, he ordered the uniforms of three cavalry sol-
diers to be stripped off, and 100 blows of a stick to be
administered to each in the square at F rneils."
Nine hundred Carlist Infantry and 80 Cavalry
have invaded the province of Tarragona.
