THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

We have received the Paris papers of yesterday.
The Moniteur publishes the following dispatch frcm
General OIIDII'iOT . -

" Santucci, June 20.

" Monsieur le Ministre,—l have the honour to address
to you a continuation of the resume of the besieging
operations:—
" From the 17th to the 18th of June.—The third
parallel has been carried on the left, to a road which
has already been the limit of the preceding works. On
the left of this road, which leads from the country to
the city, the ground rapidly descends; and there is a
passage which is not
. only difficult to cross, but is ex-
posed to the fire of the left flank of bastion 8, which is
armed with two howitzers, keeping up a continual fire.
During the night the fire of the place and that of the
trenches was almost null. The principal work was the
construction of the breaching batteries. Batteries No.
7 and 8 have been terminated. Battery No. 9 has been
commenced in the approaches not yet enlarged; the ob-
ject of it is to open the bastion No. 7; it is placed at 60
metres from the face to be battered, and it will be im-
mediately armed.
"From the 18th to the 19th.—During the night we
debouched to the right and left of the breaching-battery
opposite the curtain. The approaches were directed
against the walls of the old demi-lune which covered it.
the approach of the right is 60 metres in length, and
that of the lett 26. The latter has been turned to the
right, and directed on a gabion made by the enemy, but
evacuated. We have made the gabion useful as a cover
from the curtain, and at one of its angles we have made
a construction to protect the work from the fire of bas-
tion 6. During the day we enlarged the approaches of
the right, .and actively occupied ourselves in forming
steps in the third parallel. Battery No. 7, directed
against the curtain, terminated its embrasures during
the night, and opened its fire about nine o'clock. Bat-
tery No. 8, directed against bastion 6, was entirely ter-
minated at abeut eight o'clock. It began to fire at about
half-past nine. We cannot yet well appreciate the re-
sult of the day. Battery No. 9 was only terminated at
nine o'clock in the morning. The firing immediately
commenced. Two mortars fire on bastion 6, and two
others on bastion 7. Their fire is well directed. The
battery S. Pancraz'o has been a good deal ad7anced
during the day. It wilt be easily terminated during the
night. Our loss may be estimated at about 4 killed and
26 wounded. Captain Rochebonet, of the artillery, has
received a contusion in the hand from a ball, and M.
Gouy, first lieutenant, has been wounded by a ball behind
,he neck.

(Signed) " OUDINOT DE REGGIO."
It is rumoured in Paris that the Government have
received information of the defeat of General
OUDINOT by the Romans. According to one ac-
count the Romans had entrenched themselves so
strongly behind the breach that the French had
failed both in a direct attack and in an attempt to
carry the position, and had, consequently, been com-
pelled to retreat. Another rumour was that the Ro-
mans had sprung a mine, which had destroyed a con-
siderable portion of the French forces, and compelled
OUDINOT to withdraw to a distance from Rome,
whAst another rumour stated that a force of 3,000
men had been permitted by the Romans to penetrate
into the city, and that when they had become en-
tangled in the narrow streets they had been attacked,
and cut off-to a man. Certain it is, that up to the
evening of the 23,1, OUDINOT had not entered the city.
A letter from Marseilles gives the following as the
latest news from Rome :
_ " In the Trenches, June 22, Four Lm.

" A second wall of considerable thickiess has been
discovered within the rampart, and distant about 1,400
feet. This wall has been lately thrown up, and is made
of stone, bricks, and ancient monuments. &c. &c. It is
said that the French will find more difficulty in destroy-
ing this wall than in i,he opening of the breaches on the
rampart."

MM. Mole, de Purat, Le Lanayrac, Callet, Ba-
roche, Fleustier, Emile Leroux, Combaret de Leyval,
Dauste, Pidoux, Nettement, de Riancey, Mathieu,
(de la Redorte) and Chaupot, have been appointed
members of the Committee to report on-the new law
relating to the press, proposed by M. OmLoN
IJanuar—a law which has not even the merit of
originality, being a servile copy of the laws of Sep-
tember, which, under Louis PHILIPPE, he never
tired in denouncing.
The Credit has the following admirable observa-
tions on the anomalous position occupied by MM.
ODILON BAaROT and DUTAURI3, as members of
reactionary Ministry :
" Let M. de Falloux seek to bring back the human
mind to the sterility which marks those countries where
his opinions have for ages prevailed; let him dream of
restoring at once the temporal power of the Pope, and of
restoring in France the power of the Church over public
instruction; let him order the bombardment of Rome,
that the bishop may enter the Vatican as a King; and
let him bombard the university, that the children may
flee the colleges to take shelter in the seminaries; in
6t a winomt.k.6.aur Imo is. Sobouit, oir incicasitoe,

who can feel surprise? But Odilon Barrut, the man of
law and liberty, remaking, correcting, and considerably
augmenting the laws of September! But M. Dutaure,
the accomplished debater, preventing the public
discussion of public interests, and prohibiting a
whole people from debating their ordinary concerns!
But M. de To-queville, the successor of Lafayette in
the work of holding up Republican America to the ad-
miration of France—lie chaining this France to Kings
in order to smother Republican sentiment in Europe!
These are, indeed, unexpected, surprising, startling
events, which draw tears from our eyes, but will make
others burst with laughter. And this deplorable spec-
tacle ends with a petty farce, that of M. Lacrosse, pro-
posing to finish the old and unfinishable palace of the
Kings of France in the midst of cholera, of suspension
of work, on the morrow of the 13th of June, and in the
face of misery and insurrection, preying on the vitals of
the sovereign people, in rags and dens of filth ! Has
France lost all he .rt, spirit, and good sense ? Is it pos-
sible that she can support much long.,r such a spectacle?
What! not a new sentiment to refresh her soul, net en
idea for the future, ao acts but of a negative or re-
pressive kind, or a miserable plagiarism from the worst
days of despotism, and such plagiarisms as bad as those
of anarchy."
It is said that M. DE LASLARTINE is certain to be
returned for Charente Inferieure, in the room of the
late Marshal BUGEAUD.
The Credit alludes to the note published in the
Moniteur of the blockade of Ancona, and of the ob-
ject of Austria in so doing being to restore the
POPE. The fact of the publication of the note of the
French Government appears to the Credit to involve
a joint responsibility on its part with Austria, in
the endeavour to effect the re-establishment of the
Soverign
.PONTIFF. The Credit, after declaring
this, says—
" The Government has not yet said that it intervenes
for this object; but after the notification that it has
received from Austria, and published, it cannot dis-
pense with positively declaring if it proposes to
itself the same object in order that no one may be
ignorant if it acts with Austria or with England,
and especially in order that France may know for whose
interest it is that she spends the blood of our soldiers.
If the Government thinks that the publication of the
Austrian note is a sufficient declaration of adhesion to
Austrian policy, and consequently a sufficient rectifica-
tion for the country and for Europe of the adoption by
it of a similar policy of Papal restoration, it deceives it-
self—the thing is worth the trouble of being positively
explained."
The Roman expedition has become so unpopular
that the various members of the Government are en-
deavouring each to shirk the responsibility. The
PRESIDENT of the Republic declares that he ordered
the expedition to proceed to Civita Vecchia, but that
he gave no orders for the advance upon Rome. M.
ODILON BARROT equally declares that he never
ordered the advance upon Rome, the whole responsi-
bility of which rests upon the shoulders of hi. DE
FALLOUX.

PARIS BOURSE—THURSDAY, JUNE 28.
THREE o'CLocx.—There was very little business
done at the Bourse to-day, but the Funds were rather
more firm than yesterday. In the absence of any cer-
tain information from Rome. there were plenty of
ramours afloat. It was said that the French troops had
again assaulted the walls of Rome, and with more suc-
cess than on the first occasion; but there appeared to
be no real ground for that or any other reports. The
Railways were also firm. Exchange on London (30
days), 25 37i; ditto (90 days), 25 27i.

THE APPROACHING ROYAL VIAT TO IRELAND:-
We understand that an official intimation of the in-
tention of the Queen to honour her Irish subjects
with a visit has been already conveyed to his Excel-
lency the Earl of Clarendon, and the Sovereign is
expected to arrive in Dublin about the second, week
in August. Her Majesty's illustrious }
the
Third
late Duke of Kent, was created by George er
Earl of Dublin, which title became extinct at his
demise. Her Majesty will be attended by one of the
Secretaries of State, probably Sir George Grey, and
it is expected that Parliament will be prorogued three
weeks earlier than last year.
Lieut.-Colonel English, commanding the Royal
Engineers at Woolwich, is seriously indisposed; he was
recovering from the effects of the accident ho met with
a short time since, but symptoms have exhibited them-
selves which are calculated to occasion alarm to his

friends.
Sir John Pelly had an interview with Earl Grey
yesterday at the C9l9ahtl-01fice.

GERMAN Y

AND

THE NORTHERN STATES.

• AUSTRIA.
The telegraphic dispatch, announcing the defeat of
GEORGEY by the Austrian general, w hich appeared in
our fourth edition of last night, stated that he had
retreated across the Waag, with 30.000 men and
eighty pieces of cannon. The fact that G BORG EY was
enabled to take with him eighty pieces of cannon
would lead to the supposition that his retreat was not
the consequence of defeat. The probability is that he
is acting upon the system of tactics which has already
served the Hungarians so well. He seeks to lead the
enemy into the morasses of the Theiss, there to detain
them until the climate shall have done its work,
leaving it to the clouds of Ilonved guerillas, with
which the country was swarming, to cut off their sup-
plies and harass them incessantly.
The Ost Deutsch Post publishes the text of the
draft of the Provisional Constitution for the Arch-
duchy of Austria below the Ems. It enacts that
there shall be a Diet, consisting of thirty deputies of
towns, of thirty deputies of all the other communes, and
of the same number of the heaviest tax payers, that
is, of those who pay together a third of the taxes of
the electoral arrondissement in which they reside.
The Diet is to be convoked every year at Vienna fbr
an ordinary session, which is to last six week-, but
may be prolonged if necessary. Similar provincial
constitutions are being prepred for all the other
countries subject to the Crown of Austria.
