THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

We have received the Paris papers of yesterday.
The Univers, the Union, the Assemblee Nationale,
and other organs of the parti-pretre, are in ec3tacies
at what they consider the triumph of their party
over the PRESIDENT in the affair of the Roman ques-
tion (a triumph to be attributed rather to the cha-
racteristic indecison of that man of words, ODILON
BARROT than to any other cause), and the unqualified
adhesion of M. TRIERS to the doctrines of the DE Mon-
TALEAIBERTS and the DE FALLOUZ. Unfortunately,
however, the value of the support of Al. TRIERS has
been considerably diminished by an incident which
occurred at the very time they were congratulating
themselves on the great advantage their party was to
derive from the alliance and support of the betrayer
of the Duchesse DR BERRI. It will be remembered ,
that oil Friday M. Timm emphatically denied, in
the Assembly, that he had ever, on any occasion,
declared that the election of Louis NAPOLEON
BONAPARTE to the Presidency of the Re-
public would be a disgrace to France (une honte
pour la France), and that he called out M. Bum
because the latter declared he had heard M.-,Tunis
utter the words. The duel was fought, and it was
hoped by the friends of M. Timms, that, as he had
declared his honour satisfied without having received
any apology or retraction, the incident might have
been permitted to blow over. Not so, however,
thought those who were cognizant of the truth, and
the Journal du Havre of Monday, contains a solemn
declaration, signed by the Mayors of Havre, Tugon-
ville Graville, and other authorities of the de-
-1 partment of the Seine Inferieure, who waited on M.
TRIERS as a deputation in December last, in which
they declare that on that occasion M. TRIERS did
say, that the election of Louts NAPOLEON would be
une honte pour la Frans..
We wish the parti-pretre joy of their new recruit.
The PRESIDENT is said to feel exceedingly annoyed
at the conduct of M. ODILON. BARROT, in not pro-
perly supporting him in the debate on the Roman
question. Two Cabinet Councils were held on
Sunday, and at the conclusion of the last couriers
were dispatched to St. Petersburgh and Vienna. The
Papal Nuncio had a long interview with M. DB Toc-
jUEVILLB on Sunday.
General CEIANGARNIER has promoted Lieutenant
PETIT to the rank of Captain, as a reward for having
stabbed an unarmed man, and publicly insulted the
civil power, by addressing the High Court of Ver-
sailles in language of abuse too indecently and dis-
gustingly gross to be repeated.
Viscount D'ABLINCOURT arrived in Paris on Sunday
from a visit to the Count DE CHAMBORD.
The United States Ambassador, accredited to the
Court of Spain, was turned back on the 17th by the
police authorities at the French frontier, whilst en
route to his post at Madrid, because his passport did
not bear the visa of the Sub-Prefect of Bayonne.
It is said that accounts have been received from
Vienna, which state that Lord PONSONBY has assumed
a very firm attitude with regard to the extradition
question, while M. DE BEAUMONT has by no means
exhibited a similar boldness.

Galignani's Messenger says :
" Several of the Paris journals have remarked upon
the alleged absence of certain numbers of the corps
diplomatique from the Marquis of Normanby's soitti
in consequence of political motives; we have ascertained
there is no foundation for the statement, the dis•
tinguished persons alluded to having been present on
both occasions." _

The v Moniteur publishes an account of the imports
and exports for the first nine months of 1849, with
a comparison with the corresponding periods in
1848 and 1847. In 1847 the receipts of the Customs
fur that period were 99,847,2991.; in 1848,
62,826,1001. ; and in 1849, 95,152,863 f. The re-
ceipts for the months of September, 1847, 1848, and
1849 were respectively 10,855,9401., 8,733,6541., and
10,876,111 f.

A letter from Toulon, of the 18th, has the follow-
ing—`• It is to-day announced that the squadron has
left its anchorage at Hyeres, and it is generally be-
lieved that it has gone to the mouth of the Dardanelles,
though reports are current that it ln.s sailed for Gaeta
to escort the POPE to Civita Vecchia."
