ruE FRENCH REP ÜBLIC.

We have received the Paris journals of yesterday.
The Moniteur contains a decree, signed by the
PRESIDENT of the Republic, dismis4ing PIERRE
BONAPARTE, who was Leiutenant-Colonel in the
African Foreign Legion, from the service, for having
returned to France, when on a mission, without the
orders or permission of his superior.
The various modifications proposed in the combina-
tion laws, were rejected on Monday by the National
Assembly, and those laws therefore still remain to ham-
per the manufacturers, and,to press most unjustly on the
operatives of France; for while the first are punish-
able only if they combine unjustly and abusively, it
being left to the magistrate to determine in each
particular in what injustice or abuse consists, all
combination on the part of the workmen is abso-
lutely prohibited and punished as a crime. Thus whilst
the law is on the face of it unjust to the workmen, it
is a snare as regards the masters, who can never by
any possibility guess at the meaning which any par-
ticular magistrate may apply to the terms unjustly
and abusively, and who consequently can never know
whether or not any particular combination into which
they may enter is or is not a breach of the law. All
these anomalies - would have been got rid of by the
adoption of the proposition of M. Moum for render-
ing all peaceful combinations legal, and punishing
only those who had recourse to threats and violence,
or by applying the same rule, as was proposed by M.
WoLowsitr, to both masters and workmen. The
manifest justice and fairness of these propositions were
however, quite sufficient to secure their rejection by
an Assembly in wich the parti pretre and the Legiti-
matists command a majority, and we are not surprised,
therefore, that the Assembly rejected them, and de-
termined to conserve the old darling injustice.
It appears that the Monarchical plotters who, during
the summer of 1848, made Richmond the focus of
their reactionary intrigues, have removed their head-
quarters to Paris. We yesterday announced the
arrival of M. GUIZOT in the French capital ; we now
announce the arrival there of his inseparable, the
TALLEYRAND in petticoats, the Princess LIEVEN, who
gave a grand reception on Sunday evening, which
was attended by M. GUIZOT, General CIIANGARNIER,
Count MoLE, and M. BERETER, who thus assembled
to do honour to the female friend of the CZAR and
the woman flogger. GUIZOT and MOLE shook hands
and conversed together for the first time for many
years—PEAcEUM and LOCKIT again.
MM. De Dampierre, Estancelin, Lemeslier, De
Ladelaussage, Cholla, Richard de Charancey, Flaudin,
Ramond, I'aul de Kendrel, General Tartea de Gram-
mont, De Mortemail, and De Vavin, have been named
Commissioners to examine the propositions of MM.-
Flaudin and Durand Savoyat relative to the stud of
horses at Saint Cloud.

The Avignon and Marseilles Railway Bill has been
passed by a majority of 337 to 187.
The Prefect of Police, M. CARLIER, has prohibited
all music and dancing in cafes which have not
obtained a special licence from the Prefecture of Po-
lice for that purpose.
The Siecle has an article on the subject of the
Turkish question, in which it seeks to prove that the
CZAR, in his proceedings in thataffair, was actuated by
a wish to cause embarrassment to France.

" The Emperor Nicholas," says that journal, " de-
clared that the treaty gave him the right of demanding
either the extradition or the expulsion en the Polish re-
fugees in Turkey; but in deference to the Sultan he
would only demand the latter of those rights. Only
(added the Czar), I demand, in return for that conces
ston, that all the Poles in the states of the Sultan shall
be expelled.' In order to judge of the bearing of this
demand, it must be explained that all the Polish refu-
gees in Turkey are living there under French passports,
and that they have made positions for themselves which
they could not abandon. Thus the Czar, by making the
demand, placed the French Ambas,ador foremost in the
ranks of resistance, instead of Sir Stratford Canning—
that is to say, the French Cabinet instead of the English
one."
Considerable excitement prevailed in the neigh-
bourhood of the Palais de Justice on Monday, in
consequence of a report that the names of LEDAU
ROLLIN and his companions condemned par cantumace
would on that day be exposed on the pillory. Several
of the supporters of the condemned were on the
ground, with wreaths of immortels and bouquets of
flowers, prepared to turn the intended insult into an
occasion of triumph. The Government, however,
more wise than the judges, determined to spare itself
the disgrace of taking part in an odious exhibition ;
the names were not exposed, and the peace was pre-
served, thanks to the good sense of the authorities.
M. DE I:EiPINASSE has presented to the Assembly
the following proposition relative to elections :
" Art. L Fur the future, all elections resulting from
universal suffrage shall take place in the commune.
Art. 2. The municipal authorities, with the authorisa-
tion of the Prefect, can divide the election into as
many sections as may seem advisable, without, how-
ever, even having more than 500 electors iu any one
section. In communes where the electors shall not
be 500 in number, there shall be but one section.
Art. 3, Every elector regularly registered who shall,
without legitimate motive, not have given his vote, shall
be punished by a fine of If. to 10f. A second offence
shall be punished with a fine of from 10f. to .50f.; and
for a third one, a citizen shall be deprived of his civil
rights for a space of from two to five years. Art; 4,

The bureitx presiding over the electoral proceedings
shall award the fine, and shall decide on the validity of
the excusea given. Art. 5. The produce of such fines
shall be giv to to the commune in which the election takes
place."

IBOURSE.—PARis, Nov. 20.

BUSINESS DONE IN FOREIGN RAILWAYS AT THE

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEVWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The sales of Cotton ati Liverp ,o 1 yesterday were esti-
mated at 3,000 bales, 1,200 of which were taken on spe-
culation.. The market was very quiet, and prices were
lower as' compared with Friday's rates, American 4d.
to id. cheeper, and Brazil and Egyptian id. Other
sorts remain without alteration.—ln Railway Shares very
little was done, and prices were a shade lower.
There is no alteration in the Corn market to-day, the
arrivals of foreign grain, however, being much I irger.
The advicss from abroad are not of general interest,
but we learn from Amsterdam that a fair business was
doing on Monday in Mech. Bonds, the Two-and-a-Half
per Cents. being 53 7-16. Spanish Three per Cents.
were 26 13-16.
The Overland letters from India may be accounted
as favourable. Ease in the money markets of Cal-
cutta and Bombay was the prevailing feature, and some
dulness existed in trade in consequence of the holidays.
When these were over, however, it was expected that
there would be some activity. The China market was
likewise rather brisker, but it is useless to deny
that the utmost caution is requisite in order to
avoid most serious losses. The supply of' fabrics at
Canton and the other ports is evidently in excess of the
demasd, and there can be no satisfactory result until
this state of things is altered. Altogether our relations
political and commercial with the Celestial Empire have
by no means settled down upon the amicable and pros-
perous basis at first anticipated.
The Stock Market is in a most buoyant condition this
morning, and there is a rise of 4to per cent. upon the
highest quotations of yesterday. This is in the absence
of any particular news, but from the impression which
obtains that the Bank of England must afford
accommodation upon reduced terms to par ties
desiring loans upon good security. In a
private way this :may very likely be done, as the Bank
can hardly expect to get its minimum charge of 3 per
cent., when facilities are elsewhere afforded at 24
to 24, but any public notification that the
said minimum is arbitrarily reduced would
probably do more harm than good. It would create
an erroneous idea of unbounded confidence and pros-
perity, foster the cotton speculation, which at present
seems to be upon the wane, and render exports of bullion
to the Continent, where a higher rate of interest is
offered by the needy Governments, extremely
probable, despite the recent caution exhibited
by non-participation in foreign loans. These and other
evils would be the possible result, and the Bank directors,
we trust, are sensible thereof. That a small impulse,
however, is adequate to excite extravagant expectation
we may judge by past experience and by
the fact that there are said to have been
already bets offered of 5 to 1 that Consols will be
marked at par in the official list early next year. Now
-would be the fitting opportunity for the railway com-
panies, could they show "a clean bill," to seek an extri-
cation from their difficulties, and profit by the plentiful
supply of cash in the renewal of their debentures;
but whether they will be enabled to do so, we can
scarcely say.
Consols have, been marked 94 and 94g for Trans-
fer, and 944 to 944 for Account, being now 9411. The
New Three. and• a-Quarter per Cents. have realised 934
to 94, and the Three per Cents. 924 to 93i. India Stock
remains at 258. Exchequer-bills are a shade lower,
being 48s. to 505., and India Bonds are 82s. premium.
A good deal of business has been dune in Spanish
Bonds with the dividends of 1843 to 1848, the prices
ranging from 114 to 94. The Passive Steck is at 35,
and the Three per Cents. have risen to 364. Mexican
are firm at 264 to 27. Peruvian are 52. Russian have
touched 109. Dutch Four per Cents are 825 I.
Shares, though dull, appear to be rather on the turn
towards a better position.
Under the provisions of the Act 12 and 13 Vic.,
cap. 80, passed on the let of August last, the Legisla-
ture has disallowed the usual per-centage upon all
stamps over 10/. in value. It has, therefore, been de-
termined by the trade generally to charge for stamps
of 121. the additional sum of 2s. 6d. The matter was
represented to, and approved by the committee of the
Stuck Exchange at their sitting on the 12th inst.
