THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

After having heard M. DUFAURR and General
CHANGARNIER, it was decided that there was no
necessity to convoke the Legislative Assembly before
the end of the prorogation.
Sir MOSES MONTEFIORE has arrived at Marseilles
from Jerusalem.
'We regret to find that at Marseilles the cholera is
greatly on the increase ; on the 31 the deaths in the
hospitals alone being 52.
M. DE MONTALEMEERT was entertained at a splen-
did banquet given to him by the town of Besancon.
His reception was most cordial, and the speech he
delivered after the dinner was enthusiastically ap-
plauded. Besancon is the birthplace of FoURIER and
of M. PROUDIION.

General CHANGARNIER has received the Grand
Cross of CHARLES 111. from the QUEEN of Spain.
After the censure pronounced on M. BERTIN,
Deputy Mayor of Havre, by the Municipal Council
of that town, for the Republican speech he had ad-
dressed to the PRESIDENT, that functionary and
another of his colleagues tendered their resignation.
The Council immediately elected two other scljoints
in their place.
Rumours were rife last evening in Paris that in
consequence of the letter of the PRESIDENT on Roman
Affairs, M. DE FALLOW( would resign, the Minister
of War accompanying him in his resignation. At
any rate that letter must lead to a rupture somewhere,
if it does not conduce to the speedy settlement of this
complicated transaction.

The Bordeaux journals announce the death of M.
RAVE; one of the representatives for the Gironde,
and belonging to the Legitimist party, at the age of
76. He has been for some time past in delicate
health. M. RAVEZ was President of the Chamber of
Deputies under the restoration.
The Duchess of ORLEANS is understood to have re-

tired to Eisenach with her children, and has met with
a most cordial and respectful greeting from all classes
of the population.

BOTANICAL SOCIETY OF LONDON.-ThO ordinary
monthly meeting of this society is as held last evening at
the society's rooms, 20, &Word-street, Strand; J. lifil"
aelds, Esq., treasurer, in the chair. Various donations

new to the British flira, were present,,d by John Ball,
Esq. The plant was discovered by him at Chepstow,
last year. Mr. Coleman read a paper "On the iiotany
Lf El9raharn, Sussex."

We have received the Paris papers of yesterday,

Among the intelligence contained in those journals
there is a piece of information regarding ROman
affairs of the very highest importance. From the
letter addressed by the PRESIDENT to his aide-de-
camp, M. EDGAR NET, now with the expeditionary
army in the Eternal City, it is evident that the Prince
is not altogether a tool in the hands of the reaction-
naires. This remarkable document (printed in the
Moniteur of yesterday) is as follows :
" Ely:eJ National, August 18th, 1849.
" My dear Ney,—The French Republic has not sent
an army to Rome to strangle Italian liberty, but, on the
contrary, to regulate it, and preserve it from excesses,
and on a solid basis to restore to the Pontifical throne
the Prince who at the fit)t placed himself boldly at the
head of all cs,ful reforms.

" I learn %Lit pain that the benevolent intentions of
the Holy Father, anti our own deeds, remain unfruitful
in const.-quence of the influence of passion and ho,tile
feelings. I; is wishcd to have as the basis of the Pope's
return proscripti n and tyranny. Say, on my part, to
General liostolan, that it cannot be permitted, under the
shadow of the tricolour flag, to commit an act d,roga-
tory to the character of our intervention.
" I sum up thus the re-esrablishment of the temporal
power of the Pope—a general amnesty, the secularize.
non of the Administration, the Ct.de Napoleon, and a
liberal Government.

" I have been personally hurt, on reading the procla-
mation of the three Cardinals, to see that it has not even
made mention of the name of France, or of the sufferings
of our bravo soldiers. Every insult offered to our flag
or to our uniform goes right to my heart; and I
beg you to make known to them that if France does
not sell her services, she requires at least that she
may have gratitude for her sacrifices and self-denial.
"At the time when our armies made the tour of
Europe, they left everywhere, as the traces of their pas-
sage, the germs of liberty, and the destruction of the
abuses of the feudal system. It shall not be said that in
1849 a French army has acted in another manner and
brought about another result.

" Desire the General to thank the army in my name
fur its noble conduct. I have learned with pain
that even physically it has not been treated as it de-
served to be.

" Nothing should be neglected to make our troops
comfortable.
" Receive, my dear Ney, the assurance of my sincere
friendship.

1 " LOUIS NAPOLEON BONAPARTE."
The effect produced at Rome by this admirable
letter will be found stated in our Italian intelligence.
In addition to what is there mentioned, we may
observe that it is understood that an aide-de camp of
the PRESIDENT has been dispatched to Rome for the
purpose of depriving the Cardinals of ail further
administrative authority.
The Permanent Commission of the Legislative
Assembly met on Thursday. The Minister of the
Interior (M. MOLE), who had come expressly from
his seat at Champlatreux, and General CUANGARNIER,
were present.
The affairs of Italy formed the subject of discus.
sion.
