ROYAL VISIT TO THE HINDOSTAN
Yesterday afternoon, at three o'clock, her Majesty and
his Royal Highness Prince Albert paid a visit of inspec-
tion to the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation
Company's ship Hindostan, which, by previous arrange.
ment for the accommodation of the royal visitors, was
made fast to the moorings of the royal yacht off
Oz:borne. Her Majesty and Prince Albert arrived in
the royal barge, steered by Lord Adolphus Fitzclarence,
and were received on board the Hindustan with every
demonstration of loyalty, the yards being manned,
and the band of the Blenheim, which was lent for the
occasion by Captain Blaewood, playing the National
Anthem. Alderman Sir John Pirie, the vice-chair-
man of the company, was in attendance on the gangway
of the Hindostan, and her Majesty, graciously leaning
on his arm, was shown over the vessel. His Royal
Highness Prince Albert spent some time in the engine,
rooms, and afterwards inspected the holds, mail rooms,
and store-rooms, the life-boats, &c. Several gentlemen
connected with the company had the honour of being
introduced to her Majesty—viz, Mr. Anderson, M.P.
for
Orkney; Mr. Hadow, Mr. R. Anderson, Mr.
B.

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

1 -
We have received the Paris papers of yesterday.
The Constitutionnel declares that there is no truth
whatever in the report published in the Siècle of an
impending Ministerial crisis, and characterises the
pretended list of the new Ministry published by that
journal on Sunday as ridiculous.
On the other hand, the National, although not
pledging itself for the exactness of the list published
by the Siicle, den Ounces a conspiracy which it says
exists among the Re.actionaires who, in order' to ena-
ble them the better to carry deir projects into effect,
are desirous of being relieved from the annoyance of
interpellations in the Assembly; and that, therefore,
the Assembly will be prorogued from August 15 to
October 15, the Committee to whom this question
was referred having decided unanimously in its favour.
The reasons for this prorogation are thus explained
by the National. It says= •
" The prorogation is not an affair of personal con-
venience, but the result of political combination con-
ceived by the chiefs of the reactiun. For the sake of sc-
owl:Th:lin their objects, both the Ministry and majority
have need of silence for some time with reference to their
acts, both foreign and domestic. Muti'ated already by
lasttlie ssixtamleonotfhss_iegaen.dthtehepyrewsisllwdiollthbeeirgpaagrgt shedwoiutlhd the
machine invented by M. Barret ; and the law courts are
there—those law courts so carefully weeded daring the
thee
press prove restive. Still the Opposition could contrive
regulations,
to speak, despite the new
and it is chiefly on
their account that the • prorogation is resolved upon.
Now, during this time the Ministry might ac-
complish the objects it has most at heart, with-
out fear of being called upon to produce diplo-
matio papers, or make compromising indiscretions.
The virtuous and devout Pius I.Y. will be restored by
France to his temporal throne, and put iii pos!essiou of
his capital and of absolute power,in concert with Austria
and the Bourbons of Spain and Naples. Piedmont will
pass under the guardianship of Austria. Venice will
have to yield and no longer importune France with her
supplications ; Hungary, will, perhaps, be crushed by
Nicholas. In fine, General de Lamoriciere, who has
just burst into diplomatic life under the fruitful breath
of Messrs. de Beaumont and de Tocqueville, will suc-
ceed, without doubt, in obtaining for France the pardon
of the autocrat and the friendship of the Cossacks.
This magnanimous Czar, has already been graciously
pleased to recognise the French Republic; a few more
genuflexions, some iLsipidities, and, in exchange for
Lieneral Lamoriciere, he will send us the Duo de
Leuchtenberg, so impatiently looked for at the Elysee."
Should the prorogation take place the Budget will
not be brought forward until after the meeting of the
Assembly, in October.
Lieutenant. Colonel ESPIVENT, the aide-de•camp of
General OUDINOT, who brought his dispatches to
Paris, has set out on his return to Rome, taking with
him the promotions and decorations granted to the
persons who distinguished themselves during the siege
of that city.
The departure of Colonel ESPIVEINIX, was delayed
for some days, in consequence of the differences of
opinion which prevailed in the Cabinet as to the line
of conduct to be adopted in settling the affairs of
Rome. It is fair to presume, therefore, from his de-
immure, that the question is at length decided; and
the following passage, from an article in the Consti-
tutionnel, which is evidently from the pen of M.
'limas himself, gives us an inkling as to
the course of conduct which the French
Government intends to pursue. " France,"
says the Constitutionnei, " will have the power of
guaranteeing to the Roman population rational liberty,
not the anarchical liberty which MAzziru and his
demagoguical allies would inflict, but liberty com-
patible with the rights of power. Between the neces-
sary attributes of Pontifical power and the legitimate
participation of laymen in the Administration, there
is a line of conciliation which is quite possible. France
will aid in the determination of this limit, and two
things will give authority to her counsels, the modera-
tion of her policy and the brilliancy of her arms, due
to the admirable conduct of her troops."
M. DE LAMARTINE is suffering from an attack of
tic douloureux.

The ➢lunicipal Council of Nantes have determined
to invite the PRESIDENT of the Republic to a magni-
ficent entertainment, to be given in the City on the
29th, on the occasion of the inauguration of the
second section of the Tours and Nantes Railroad.

A sample of new wheat of excellent quality was
exhibited at the Paris corn market on Saturday last.
The Minister of Finance has presented a project of
law relative to the budget of 1850, on the subject of
direct taxes and service of the departments. This
project is entirely independent of the main portion
of the budget, but involves a sum of 429,000,0001.
The priiceeds of the direct taxes specially devoted to
general expenditure amounts to 291,779,580 f. The
same source last year yielded 292,792,000 f. There
is, therefore, a diminution on that branch of public
income of more than a million of francs. The defi-
ciency is most visible in the returns from the shop-
tax. This item displays a falling off of 2,000,0001.
The furniture and personal tax has yielded about a
million more this year than it did last year.
St. Etienne suffered on the 12th instant a second
inundation, equally as disastrous as the first. The
unfortunates who had been drowned but two days
before had scarcely been buried before the river
Furens again broke its banks and overflowed the
town, destroying flourishing manufactories, and
carrying away furniture and goods of all kinds. A
subscription has been opened on behalf of the sufferers.
A terrific conflagration destroyed the Bazaar Bonne
Nouvelle on Saturday. The Diorama, which was in
the bazaar, was burned to the ground, and a valuable
gallery of paintings destroyed.
The return of the extremriy hot weather appears to
have paralyzed the speculators at the Bourse. The Five
per Cents. opened to-day at 871. 90c., and fell to 87f.
55c., at which price they closed.
The Three per Cents. closed on the Paris Bourse, on
Monday, at 53f. 60c. ; the Five per Cents., at 87f. 55e.;
Orleans Railroad Shares, 775 t. ; Rouen, 5171. 50c. ;
Great Northern, 427 f. 50c. ; Vierz 305 f. ; Paris and
Strasburg, 3581. 75c.; Tours and Nantes, 3071. 500.

BADEN.

Intelligence has been received from Carlsrhue to
the 12th. At that date Thastadt still held out, and it
would appear that the besieged must have made a
sally, as several wounded Prussians have been brought
into Carlsrhue. The typhus fever is making great
ravages in the Prussian army.
The account of the arrival of several of the insur-
gent corps in the Swiss territory, and of their
disarmament by the authorities of the Republic, is
confirmed. General Vox Fi.oTow at the head of
2,500 Bavarians, has snivel atTettnang.

PRUSSIA.
The Prussian government is accused openly of having
purposely betrayed the Schleswig Holsteiners to the
Danes at Fredericia in order to force them to accept
peace.
