THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

We have received the Paris papers of yesterday.
The Afeniteur contains the following decree :

" The President of the Council charged with the Exe-
cutive power determines :
" Art. 1. From this day is raised the suspension pro-
nounced by the decree of the 26th of Juno, 1848, a2ainst
the journals/z Revolution, La Vraie Republique, L'Or-
ganization du Travail, La Prase, L'Assemblee Na-
tionale, Le Napoleon Republieain, Le Journal de k Ca-
naille, Le Pere Duchesne, Le Pilori, La Libertt, La Lam-
pion. _ _

" Art. 2. The seals placed in execution of the decree
of the 27th June, 1841, on the presses serving to print
the above-named journals, shall be raised by the func-
tionaries who have proceeded to the placing of them.
The prohibition of printing the said journals, and every
engagement taken by the printers relative to that pro-
hibition, are considered for the future as non avenus.

" Art. 3. The of the Police is charged with
the eiecution of this decree.

" Paris, August 6, 1848." " CAVAIGNAC."
In accordancc with this decree, the Presse, the
Assetnblee Nationale, and the Liberti, appeared yes-
terday morning.
The Press. contains an article, signed " Emile de
Girardin," :which, somewhat grandiloquently an-
nounces that " suppressed without cause, " the Presse
re-appears without conditions." Having gone at great
length into the question of his ow•n personal
grievances, M. EMILIi DB GIRABDIN thus con•
eludes :

"Behind, then, be the past; let us only behold the
present; let us interrogate the future. The gravity of
the circumstances has not beea diminished; the diffi-
culties have outlived the peril ; they subsist quite as
they were. War is no longer in the streets; but does
peace exist in men's minds? Men's hands are disarmed,
but their passions are in the utmost irritation. Distrust
is extending; resentments are becoming deeper; the
existing wounds become more envenomed; more than
ever we aro at the mercy of a fault, of an error, of a sur-
prise, of a complication, of an incident. The existing
Government has for it the force which watches, but it
has against it the misery which overflows. The Go-
vernment of 1830 also had its days of April, of May, and
of June, from which it issued three times victorious;
and yet all that did not prevent its succumbing,
on February 24th, to a fourth attempt. Three
times already the Republic has miraculously
escaped the attempts of April, May, and June—will it be
as fortunate the fourth time? It is to be hoped so; but
too much dependence must not be placed on it, in order
not to slumber on in a dangerous optimism, in order not
to entrench one's self behind a fatal egotism. The only
means of escaping the terrible consequences of a 24th of
February of the new regime, which 24th of February
would be the victory of the drapeau rouge, is to act as if
that victory was imminent and inevitable; it is to spare
nothing to conjure it away, so as, whatever may happen
to have no subject of reproach. We shall give the ex-
ample. To amnesty the executive power, the first act of
which was to strike us so heavily in our liberty and our
fortune—to aid it with all our efforts to triumph over the
grave difficulties against which it struggles painfully—
shall be the only vengeaace which we will take for the
evil which has been done to us, for the greater evil of
which, perhaps, the idea and the hope were conceived,
for the immense damage which has been caused us, and
which we should not now have recalled to mind if it had
not been extended round us to more than 300 families,
not having any other means of living but their labour."
There were various unpleasant rumours circulat-
ing in Paris yesterday with respect to Italian affairs.
According to one of these rumours, CnAuLus ALBERT
had retreated to the walls of Milan, hotly pursued by
the army of RADRTZKI ; according to another
account, the Sardinian troops had altogether
evacuated Lombardy, and had fallen back on Pied-
mont. Neither of these rumours have been con-
Lirmed and it would appear, from a warning given
by the Natianal, that they have been invented for the
purpose of bringing down the funds. In reference to
some of these rumours, the Mimiteur says—
" The public, and especially the Bourse, has been
moved by a movement effected by the division of the
camp of St. Maur. People forget that this division is a
part of the Army of the Alps ; by this title it is consti-
tuted on the footing of war, provided with materials and
an administration for a campaign, which is quite useless
in the interior. It was called to Paris at the first mo-
ment, but solely as a provisional measure. Now that
measures are taken to bring troops in from other points,
this division returns to its cantonments ;;but each regi-
ment which goes is replaced by a regiment which
arrives. The garrison of Paris will, therefore, lot be
diminished."
The Democratic Pacifique says :

" It was rumoured on Saturday at the National As-
sembly, that the Government had sent to General
Oudinot, Commsnder•in-Chief of the Army of tke Alps,
full powers to act as he might consider he was called on
to do by circumstances—in other words, to enter Italy if
he thought it necessary."
-

The affairs of Italy continue to occupy the atten-
tion of the diplomatic body in Paris. Long and
frequent conferences are held every day on this sub-
ject between General CAYAIGNAC, M. BASTIDB, the
Foreign Minister, the Marquis of NORMANST, the
Marquis of BRIGNOLE SOLE, the Sardinian Ambas-
sador, M. Race' (the Minister dispatched from Turin
to demand the intervention of France), and the re-
presentatives of various of the Italian States.
The National publishes an official contradiction of
the rumour which was circulated on the Bourse, that
the Government intends to contract a loan of five
hundred millions.

It was rumoured in Paris last evening that the
Government had received a telegraphic dispatch an-
nouncing that RADBTZLT had entered Milan on the
4th, in consequence of a popular movement in his
favour.

BOURSE.—Penis, MONDAY, Aua. 7.
THREE O'CLOCIL—The fall of last week has made fur-
ther progress to-day. The fears of an intervention
have a very depressing effect, and apprehensions are also
entertained of some difficulties in consequence of the re-
port of the Committee of Inquiry of the Assembly on the
question of the insurrection. The certificates of the
Loan of November, 1847, have fallen enormously to-
day. Some days ago they were as high as 6,200; to-
day they opened at 2,700, and fell gradually to 1,800,
at which they closed. Compared with Saturday, for
the Account, the French Three per Cents. have fallen
lf. ; Five per Cents. also lf. For Money, the Three
per Cents. have fallen If.; Five per Cents. have fallen
50 centimes; Bons du Treaor are at 25 discount ; Bank
of France Shares have gone down. 20f.; Belgian Bank
