THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

We have received the Paris papers of yesterday.
The Patrie has the following announcement :

" We have received a letter From Turin which leads
us to believe that Piedmont is not yet reduced to the
necessity of submitting to the ultimatum of Austria. In-
formation, in which we have full confidence, apprises us
that on the 22d of this month the Cabinet of Turin pre-
sented a counter-project to the Austrian negotiator,
proposing some modifications to the ultimatum. The
manner in which M. Bruck received that counter-project
leads us to believe that the Cabinet of Vienna will not
show itself more exacting. Matters remain in that
state."
The same journal states that the Minister of Fi-
nance has declared that he will not require a loan for
the present, as Jae has sufficient means to provide for
the year 1850.
M. LAMARTIIVE, who was elected by the De-
partment of the Soane et Loire, and also by the De-
partment of the Loiret, has chosen to sit for the latter.
The College of Soane et Loire is convoked for the
19th of August to :fill up the vacancy thus occasioned,
and the electoral College of the Cote d'Or is con-
voked for the same day, to elect a representative
in the room of M. JAMES DEMONTRAY, deceased.
The first six articles of the law on the press were
passed by the Legislative Assembly on Thursday.
The editor of the R'epublicaine de la Dordogne has
been sentenced to six months' imprisonment and a fine
of I,ooof. for publishing a protest against the Roman
expedition. Perhaps the public officer who ordered
this prosecution may be able to state wherein the
distinction consists between the " honest and moderate
Republic," as thus administered, and a despotic
tyranny ; the difference if any, we conceive, to be in
favour of the latter, inasmuch as it does not add
hypocrisy to its other crime. " Cossackism" seems
progressing.
The Siecle has the following in reply to the taunts
of M. TRIERS, that the Government of the Republi-
cans of the vielle, which lasted from 24th February
to the 10th December, 1848, had done nothing for
France.
" That Government," says the Siècle, " during
nine months of struggle, of suffering, of difficulties
ijumbery both foreign and domestic, in the
civil war, did more for the credit, for the people, for
the grandeur, and for the future well-being of France
than did your two Monarchies during a space of 33
years in the midst of a profound peace. It gave us
universal suffrage—that was a political improvement.
It decreed the abolition of the penalty of death for
political offences—that was a pledge of peace
and conciliation. It decreed the abolition of
slavery—these were moral improvements. It amelio-
rated the condition of schoolmasters—this was fur
the advancement of intellectual improvement. It
constituted the Bank of France, by uniting to this
great body the scattered members of the provincial
banks ; it created the discount banks—these were lor
the improvement of public credit. It created the
agricultural colonies of Algeria—this was for the
benefit of the people. It created the councils of
prud'hommes ; it encouraged the associations of work-
men—this was for the benefit of the labourers. It
introduced postal reform ; it reduced the impost on
salt; it endeavoured to raise an income-tax, which is ,
the true method of imposing proportional taxation,
it carried a law for recruiting the army. These are
what it did for the nation."

The bank account shows continued influx of specie.
The commercial features of the week do not appear
favourable, but the credit to the Treasury has increased
upwards of 9i millions. It is confirmed that there
will be no loan at present.

THE NORTHERN STATES.

BADEN.

It appears that the fort of Radstadt surrendered
at discretion. The garriso❑ mutinied, arrested the
commandant, and opened the gates to the Prussians.

SCHLES WIG-HOLSTEIN.

It was generally expected that the King of BA-
VARIA would protest against the conditions of the
armistice and treaty concluded between Prussia and
Denmark, and it was even asserted that the
Government of Bavaria had combined with the
Cabinet of Hanover to induce the Vicar of the Em-
pire to disavow them. The Weser Zeitung, how-
ever, in an article, dated Berlin, July 20, says that
the Bavarian Government, through its ambassador at
the Court of Berlin, Count LERCHENFELD, gave its
assent beforehand to the basis upon which the armis-
tice is concluded, and is consequently bound to it ;
that regret is expressed at Munich respecting the
conditions of the armistice, but that the assent already
given will be referred to, as precluding the possibility
of an independent line of action.
Accounts from Schleswig-Holstein state that the
following persons were proposed to form the Provi-
sional Armistice Government of Schleswig :—For
Prussia, ADODPHE VON MOLTKE (member of the
late general Government) ; for Denmark, Baron
KARL PLESSIN ; and for England, Baron VON
FALLENBERG. The former has positively declined,
and the second intends doing so; and in place of the

The Bavarian troops stationed in Schleswig have
received orders to return to Bavaria, immediately
after the official promulgation of the armistice, con-
cluded solely by Prussia, and without the concur-
rence of the Central Power of Germany in the
Duchies. The General in command, Prince EDWARD
Vox SACHSEN ALTENEERG, has received orders to
appear previously at Court.
All the Prussians who were taken prisoners in the
memorable engagement of the 17th have been sent
back.
