THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

The Paris journals of Saturday and yesterday have
arrived.

Among the particulars contained in these papers
the following facts in their several ways have a pecu-
liar significance :
M. EDGARD NEY has reached the French capital
from Rome. _ _

------ ---
General OUDINOT has simultaneously arrived ai
Marseilles.

M. CLEaT, cousin of the President and representative
of the people, is, according to the Evenossent, to be
appointed Envoy Extraordinary from France to
Sweden.
The ex. King JEROME, we hear from the same
organ, has been reconciled to his nephew, Louis
NAPOLEON, through the mediation of the cousin of
the latter, the Marchioness of DOUGLAS.
M. ODILON BARROT, the President of the Council,
has been during the last few days confined to his room
through indisposition.
General ROSTOLAN, according to a rumour, has
been recalled from the chief command of the army at
Rome, and his successor is believed to be General
RANDOU.
The Gazette de France has been seized in conse-
quence of an attack on Republican institutions and
on the Constitution published in its columns, and
signed ALEXANDER REMY. This circumstance is
worthy of consideration, the paper in question being
strongly Legitimist.
At Marseilles the cholera has considerably dimi-
nished, but the epidemic has spread rather alarmingly
in other parts of the country.
The PRESIDENT of the Republic has received from
the King of SARDINIA a letter notifying officially the
death of CHARLES ALBERT at Oporto, on the 28th of
July last.
M. DE FALLOUX reached Paris on Saturday, when
he had a long interview with the Minister of Foreign
Affairs.
M. THIERS was also on the same day afthe Foreign-
office, though it is uncertain whether, his visit had
reference to the policy of the present Government or
to his preparations for the continuation of his LoHis-
tory of the Empire."
Almost all the papers without exception comment
upon the letter addressed to M. NET by the
PRESIDENT of the Republic, and from the prevailing
tone of the different organs, it appears that Louis
NAPOLEON has satisfied no one, but has, on the con-
trary, called down upon himself universal.reprobation.
The Republican party are indignant at the authori-
tative spirit of the document, and at the personal
character of the whole proceeding. The Reds
declare that he has in penning that epistle violated
the Constitution. The Moderates evince alarm at
the imperial souvenirs visible throughout the whole
commuication. • The parti pretre is horror-stricken
at the treatment of the Cardinal Triumvirate, and
the dictatorial attitude assumed towards the ecclesias-
tical authority. The Legitimists recoil from the
prospect of a revival of the Napoleonian dynasty in-
stead of the return of the Bourbons. Everywhere
the conduct of the PRESIDENT is assailed. Every man's
hand is against him. No man breathes a word in
his vindication. Even the one solitary panegyric pub-
lished in the Moniteur du Soir has been disavowed by
the Ministry. The Reforme fastens upon the ad-
mission made in the PRESIDENT'S letter that the
Roman expedition was undertaken for the purpose of
restoring the Sovereign PONTIFF to his dominions.
The Patrie regrets that the PRESIDENT has acted on
his own proper inspiration. The Debats declares that
the letter is a little too hereditary. The Union as-
serts that France will never consent to the revival of
the imperial regime. The Corsair treats the act as a
declaration of war with his HOLINESS. The Liberte
regards the whole transaction as a comedy or a
humbug. The Opinion Publique sneers at the
idea intimated in the epistle that the
soldiers of the vielle garde are to be regarded
as the apostles of liberty. The Republique
calls the entire proceeding a serious event, and main-
tains that France and the POPE must now be re -
garded as hostile to each other. The Assembles
Nationale abuses M. DUFAURE as the instigator of
Louis NAPOLEON to the production of this
unconstitutional manifesto. The Siecle insists
that the liberal tone of the letter, and the
harsh treatment of M. LESSEPS are anomalous.
The Credit intimates that the line of policy adopted
by the PRESIDENT is attributable to some unskilful
or perfidious adviser. The Ordre, avoiding all de-
preciative expressions, pins down Louis NAPOLEON
to the position he has assumed between the ultra-
revolutionists and the reactionaries. The Univers
is throughout bitter and sarcastic, arguing that
the letter is altogether unjustifiable, France
having been neither insulted nor despised. The
Presse, whose comments on the event extend over
six mortal columns, pronounces the conduct of Louis
NAPOLEON as in the highest degree indecorous, see-
ing that ho has no right to dictate so insolently to
the supreme Head of Catholicity. The National is
loud in the assertion that the letter is an act flagrantly
unconstitutional, insomuch so that it will not con-
descend to analyse its substance. The Constitutionnel
contents itself with remarking that the present un-
accustomed eclat is not a crisis, and proclaims that
those who assert to the contrary are guilty of a gross
exaggeration. The Mode, a venerable organ of the
Legitimatists, as if in defiance of the prospective
return of the empire, decorates its title with the
symbolic.fluer-de-lys.
Nevertheless, while all parties are thus violent in
their attacks upon the PRESIDENT, all of the liberal
and moderate Republican organs applaud the princi-
ples of attachment to liberty and to free institutions
implied in this remarkable document.

M. CousiN, in a report of the public examination
for the year 1849, informs the Minister of Public
Instruction that out of the whole number of candidates
only two were considered worthy of being recom-
mended as fit to fill philosophical chairs, viz.—MM.
CHALLEMEL LECOUR and DOLONDRE.

The Mayor of the Commune of Chevincourt, who
had been suspended from his functions by the Pre-
fect of the Oise for deserting his post at the moment
when the cholera was raging with great intensity in
the commune, has just been dismissed by the Govern-
ment.

On Saturday it was remarked that the POPE'S
Nuncio was closeted with the PRESIDENT of the
Republic for a considerable time, and that several
communications took place between the Ministry of
Fereign Affairs and the Austrian Embassy.
It seems that M. LUCIEN MURAT will not be sent
as Ambassador to Madrid. The choice was not liked,
it is said, by M. DE TOCQUEVILLE.
The inauguration of the railway from Paris to
Strasburg, as far as Tonnerre, will be changed as to
its character. The cholera being at Tonnarre, the
inauguration cortege will only go as far as Sens,
where a banquet will be given, and the PRESIDENT
will return the same evening to Paris.

SPAIN.

Intelligence from Madrid is up to the 3d instant.
SBIJAS LOZANO, the new Minister of Public Works,
was expected on that day in Madrid. The Gazette
publishes a royal decree organizing the Administra •
tion of the Interior, which is to consist in future of a
secretariate, six directions, and a record-offiee.
The Epoca states that the Queen of SPAIN has
conferred the grand cross of the order of CHARLES
111. on Lieutenant-General Sir IL GARDINER,
Governor of Gibraltar, no doubt in return for his
recent civilities to the Duke and Duchess of MoNT-
PENSIER.
