THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

We have received the Paris papers of yesterday.
The Patrie says :—" It was yesterday stated at the
Assembly that General OUDINOT had been recalled
by the Government, the army having nobly termi-
nated its mission at Rome. The action of diplomacy
must terminate the task of civilization and pacification
in the states of the Church."
On the same subject the National has the follow-
ing :
A letter from Rome of the 29th contains the follow-
.

ing significant passage:—' The communiCaTion7Of
General Oudinot with personages whose pious designs
are opposed to every liberal idea; his relations with the
Austrian counsellors of the coterie of Gaeta; his
cordial understanding with --; all tend to render the
General, if not suspected, at least impracticable in thi,
eyes of the French Cabinet—so seriously impracticable
that M. Oudinot will be recalled before a fortnight has,
elapsed. This prediction is already realised, for we, in
fact, hear that the order which recals M. Oudinot lef
Paris yesterday, but in order not to wound his suscepti‘
hiiity, no successor has yet been appointed. The com-
mand of the army of Rome will be handed over to the
oldest general of division.' "
The Evenement says that the real motive of OUDI -
NOT'S recal is his decree re establishing the ecclesias-
tical tribunal. The conduct of General OUDINOT, who
is a much better Catholic than Frenchman, has been
throughout directed to neutralise the views
of the French Foreign Minister, and to
restore the POPE and the Priestly Govern-
ment, with the Inquisition, without conditions.
He deceived and betrayed M. DE LESSEPS, and both
M. D'HAacouirr and M. DE COURCELLES are loud in
their complaints of his conduct. He would never
have ventured to set his orders at defiance as he has
done had he not some powerful protector in the back
ground, whose inspirations he has obeyed rather than
the positive orders of his superiors; and even now
that protector has sufficient interest to break his fall,
by procuring for him the office of Grand Chancellor
of the Legion of Honour, vacant by the death of
Marshal MOLITOR, an office which, according to the
rules of the service, should have been conferred on
Marshal GERARD.
The funeral of Marshal MoLITOR took place on
Wednesday, at the Hotel des Invalides. The chapel
was fitted up as on the funeral of Marshal BUGEAUD,
and escutcheons surmounted with flags taken in various
combat- bore the names of the principal engage-
ments in which the Marshal figured. Previous to
the commencement of the ceremony cannon were
discharged and the bells tolled. The mass was
celebrated by the chaplain of the Invalides and several
clergymen. Among the persons present were the
family of the deceased, General PETIT, the President
of the Assembly, several representatives, the President
of the Council, the Minister of War, Generals
BEDEAU, GOURGAUD, FABVIER, and a great many,
other superior officers. The pall was borne by Ad-
miral MAcaAu, Generals CHANGARNIER, ST. MARS,
and ACIJARD. After the ceremony General FABVIER
delivered a speech in the court-yard over the coffin,
which was then deposited in one of the vaults. The
Pattie says :
" At the moment at which the chaplain of the Inva-
lides was throwing holy water on the remains of the
Marshal, it was announced that the Government had
learned by telegraph that the Marshal's wife had died at
her château, near Nancy. If this rumour should be
confirmed, the words which the wife of the Marshal pro-
nounced some months ago have become prophetic:—' It
is there,' said the Marshal in conversation with his wife,
it is there,' pointing to heaven, that I shall soon go to
wait for you.' Pressing his hand she replied sadly, I
hope you will not wait for me long!' And her wish has
been accomplished."
In the Assembly on Thursday, the Minister of
War brought forward a proposition for bestowing a
reward on certain ex-officers of the late Republican
Guard who had distinguished themselves in June,
1848, in suppressing the insurrection, and who, by
the recent dissolution of the Republican Guard, had
been left without employment. This proposition was
strongly opposed by the Legitimatists, who seemed to
imagine that it was a matter of regret rather than
otherwise that the insurrection of June, 1848, had
been put down, and ultimately it was rejected, so that it
was decided by the Legitimatists that those who fought
against the insurgents in June, 1848, are unworthy of
reward. This is another proof that the insurrection
was encouraged, if not caused, by the intrigues and
money of the Legitimatists, and, coupled with the sus-
picious conduct of M. DE FALLoux in reference to
the Ateliers Nationaux, and with the fact of several
of the Legitimatist nobility having been found disguised
in blouses fighting behind the barricades, goes far to
prove that the Legitimatists would not shrink from
destroying society itself, if on its ruins they could
rebuild their old edifice of royal and priestly tyranny,
aristocratic privilege, and tiers eddt serfdom.
The Lyons Railway has been, it is said, conceded
to Mr. BARING. The Journal des Debat4 says—
" The company will be constituted with a capital of
240 millions, and it will engage to terminate the works
and to open the whole line within the shortest possible
time—in four years at the utmost. The state will gua-
rantee to the company 5 per cent. interest on its capital,
and will grant it a lease of 99 years. It will, besides,

abandon to the company all that has already expended
on the line from Paris to Chalons (said to be more than
150,000,000 f.). The State, however, will stipulate for
conditions of repurchase, and a share in the profits after
the shareholders shall have received 8 per cent. We
cannot vouch for the exactitude of the above terms, but
we believe them to be in accordance with the cahier des
charges. We shall wait for positive information on the
subject before we enter into any discussion on it."
Orders have, it is said, been issued for the recal
of a considerable portion of the army from Italy,
the Government having determined to confine the
French occupation to a few parts of the Roman ter-
rity. Accounts from Gaeta state that the POPE (or
mere properly speaking the Camarilla, for no Norio
is in fact a captive in their hands,) still continues ob-
stinate, and refuses to accede to the conditions pro-
posed by the French Government for his re-estab-
lishment.

The organic law on the state of siege was yesterday
presented ttohethAesaLemeghilsylaathivaell

right It is pr
posed
lof pronouncing the state of siege, and the Executive
Power the exclusive right of demanding it, when-
ever there may be imminent peril for internal or
external safety. While the Assembly thus guards
the right of authorising the Executive to declare the
state of siege, it will give full latitude to the Exe-
cutive to exercise this power when once accorded.
Thus, it will not be necessary for the Executive to
come to the Chamber to ask leave to apply the state
of siege to such and such parts of the territory, but
may in that respect exercise its own discretion. The
Committee of the Bill refuses to grant any exception
in favour of the press, which must submit to the
consequences of the state of siege whenever declared,
and for the time be deprived of the benefit of trial
by jury. Immediately after the passing of this Bill,
declaratory of the principles affecting the state of
siege, a project will be presented for relieving Paris
from the exceptional position under which it is placed.
