VRENCII REPUBLIC.

We have..? received the 1);:ris journals of yesterday.
The debal e on the affairs of Rome had not come
on in the Ata embly at the hour the post left. Up to
that period toe Assembly had been occupied in dis
cussing an eloction petition presented against the
return of M. SCI:IOLCHER for Gaudaloupe ; and it was
said that the discussion was purposely prolonged with
a view to :prevent the Roman question from being
brought on., so as to give time for further negotiations
betwen the Ministry and the Thiers party. M. DLIPIN
had a long conference with the PRESIDENT of the
Republic on Tuesday,, and at eleven o'clock on Tues-
day evening M. THUM went to the Elyiee, and
remained there nearly two hours. During this visit,
it is said, some approaches were made towards a
reconciliation ; and in the Constitationnel of the fol-
lowing morning there appears a most cautiously-
worded apologetical article, deprecating any division
among the majority, declaring that the report of M.
TRIERS is intended to express approval of the acts of
the PRESIDENT and of the Ministry ; and denying
any intention of insulting the PRESIDENT by
omitting all mention of his letter in the re-
port, because, (says this article of the Constitu-
tionnel) " the report makes no mention of any docu-
ment at all; from which we gather that M. TRIERS
does not consider the mota proprio of the POPE as any
document at all; seeing that he comments on it, and
comments on it in a sense most insulting for
the PRESIDENT of the Republic throughout the report.
The Patrie of Tuesday evening says, "At about
three o'clock this afternoon, some Members of the
National Assembly, who are generally well informed,
announced that the misunderstanding which gave rise
to the rumours of yesterday was about to cease, and
that the division between the PRESIDENT of the Re-
public and the majority of the Assembly—a division,
at which the enemies of order would rejoice, and by
which they would profit—would not take place. The
discussion on the credits for the expedition to Rome
will commence to •morrow, and there is every reason
to believe that the Government and the Committee
will be in accord in the appreciation of this grave
question."
The Evenement of Tuesday evening states that
General CHANGARNIER had had several interviews
with the PRESIDENT of the Republic, and that when
M. Timms arrived at the National Assembly, a per-
son was waiting for him with a message from General
CHANGARNIER, after which it was rumoured that the
PRESIDENT of the Republic and M. TIMERS were on
the point of coming to an understanding.
The tbllowing appears in this journal :
" Several influential persons called successively this
morning at the Ely: 6-- for the sake of effecting a recon-
ciliation. To one and all the President repliad—' I will
not yield to the policy traced out in the report of M.
Thiers, for it contradicts in a manifest manner the
policy indicated by me in two letters—a policy which
had, moreover, been const.intly followed by ray Govern-
ment. I will struggle with this Assembly, if necessary,
as I struggled with the Constituent in support of a
Ministry which bad not the majority."
The Assemblde Nationale of yesterday moraing has
the following :
" The whole of yesterday was passed in endeavours to
effect a reconciliation betwet n the President and the
most influential members of the majority. It is to be
hoped that the grave crisis in which the Ministry have
thought fit to place us may not have a fatal result. This
crisis, however, yet exists. Union and firmness on the
part of the majority can alone put an end to it."
It is to be hoped that the PRESIDENT and his
Ministers will continue firm ; if they do their duiy
fearlessly, there can be no doubt but that they have
it now in their power to crush the Parti-Pretre and
the Orleanists, and to consolidate the Republic. If
he does this, future ages will look upon Louis NA-
POLEON as the WASHINGTON of France.
The monster trial at Versailles continues to
" drag its slow length along."
On Tuesday M. EMILE DE GIRAEDIN was ex-
amined as a witness, and declared that in his opinion
the Constitution had been violated by the Executive,
and that therefore there was no illegality in the mani-
festation of the 13th June, 1849.
The Journal des Debats publishes a letter from
Toulon dated 13, which says—
The flare steamer was yesterday sent off to the
Levant with dispatches for the French Ambassador at
Constantinople. The Mediterranean squadron com-
manded by Vice-Admiral Parseval Deschenes, which
has been for some time lying in the anchorage at
Hyeres, has just received orders to sail immediately'
for Smyrna, where it will, doubtless, meet the Eng-
lish fleet, which is to proceed to the entrance of the
Dardanelles."

The uariarhuo Gazette of the 16th has the fol-
lowing :
" The Burgher Guard, which has continued to
take its turn in mounting guard at the Senate
House, yesterday received notice from the com-
mandant that their services would no longer be
quired, as the regular garrison was now perfectly
organised.
" Last night the Court was present at the theatre,
for the first time since the disturbance. Prince FRE-
DERICK of Prussia was in the grand ducal box, by the
side of the Grand Duchess.

" General VON SCHRECKHNSTIEN, Commandevin-
Chief of the Prussian corps d 'armee in Baden, and
General Vox WiLusox, have arrived here.
.!" Though tranquillity is now perfectly restored,
and everything has the outward semblance of peace,
the court-martial still continues its sitting, and
several of the ringleaders and participators in the
revolution are tried and condemned by martial law.
The Prussian Regiment of Infantry at Worms is to
form part of the garrison of our city."
