THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

The Paris journals t.)f yesterday have been received.
An extraordinary amount of anxiety begins to be
entertained in regard to the condition of the mercan-
tile interests throughout France. No less than 7,000
failures are spoken of positively as proximate, though
we cannot but regard the anticipation as both pre-
mature and exaggerated. In the little town of Elbouf
alone, it is calculated that upwards of 11,000 out of
14,000 workmen are supported by the charitable con-
tributions of the municipality.
In the midst of the commercial anxiety, the Pari-
sians are still agitated by the doubtful position of
affairs on the Conlinent-autthe Astreme uncertainty
rat war or a general pacification.
M. DE LAMARTINE has addressed a short letter to
the editor of a Macon journal, thanking the inhabi-
tants of that place for having elected him a Member
of the Municipal Council, in the course of which he
says—
" For me these proofs of friendship have a more than
ordinary value at the present moment. They arrive
when others are leaving me. Having quitted power,
for which I never had any ambition, and having quitted
it without any citizen having to ask an account from me
of a life, a liberty, or a fortune, I support patiently a
moment of injustice and calumny, compensated already
by many returns to the truth with respect to my acts,
and to indulgence with respect to my person. It is of
that country of whiCh I think when I wish to love more
and more the great country which we all demand. I
hope soon to demand, as the sole object of my ambition,
a little of that leisure and that affection which give re-
pose alike to the mind and to the heart."
Nobly spoken as those words are, they breathe of
the fulness of a great and sorrowing heart.
The Moniteur publishes the following notice with
respect to the mission'with which M. ACHILE MURAT
is said to be charged :--
" The report is spread that a representative of the
people, who stated himself to be charged with a mission
from the Minister of Foreign Affairs, had passed the
frontiers of the country of Nice, giving the assurance
that a negotiation was on foot for the union of that
country and of Savoy to France. No mission of this kind
had been given to any person whatsoever."
On the sitting of the National Assembly of Mon-
day, the Bill for the establishment of an Official
Journal of the Republic, which was to be distributed
gratis throughout France, was rejected almost unani-
mously.
A telegraphic dispatch was received at Brest on
the 10th, ordering the Belle Poule and the Uranie
frigates to be fitted up, for the reception of from
1,000 to 1,200 insurgents.
From authentic information it would appear that
the Committee appointed for preparing the draft of
the constitution has at length settled its report. The
preamble has undergone some slight modifications.
With regard to the President, the report is in favour
of his election by universal suffrage. General
CAYAIGNAC, who was invited to give his opinion on
the subject, strongly advocated the election by uni-
versal suffrage. The Committee maintained its
first report relative to the army. M. MARRAST, the
reporter, would submit his report towards the end of
the week, or on Monday at farthest, and the debate
would commence. on the 28th.

Sir HENRY BuLwait left Paris on Monday on his
return to England.
The ex-Emir, ABD-EL-KADER, and his suite, are
to be removed from Pau to the Castle of Amboise.

MARTINEZ DB LA Rosa, the Spanish Ambassador
at Rome, had arrived at Marseilles.
The fourth and concluding volume of the " History
of the Gauls under the Roman Administration," by
AMEDEE THIERRY, is announced for speedy publi-
cation.

The Demacratie PaciAue remarks that it is a thing
worthy of observation that since the law respecting
the clubs was passed, not a single club has been
established.

M. PRADIRN has just completed a remarkable bust
of General CAVAIGNAC.
There is a curious anecdote in circulation relative
to a circumstance that occurred during the adjudging
of premiums at the College of St. Barbe. The first
prize was adjudged to the son of VICTOIL lIUGO ; the
next to a youth named LB Roy, on which a cheer
burst from the whole assembly, including the pupils,
accompanied with reiterated shouts of " Vive le Roi."
What added significance to the circumstance was the
presence of General C►TAIGNAC and M. MARRAST ;
whether this was a practical joke or really a demon-
stration of opinion, it is not easy to say. Perhaps it
was both. It is, however, talked of and commented
upon very much, especially in the Legitimist circles.

Of course the prevailing emotion at Vienna con-
tinues to be a sort of delirious exultation on the suc-
cesses recently achieved by the German troops in
Lombardy.

The Wiener Zietung published the following report
to the Minister of War

" God save the Emperor,—

" Honour and glory to the heroic Imperial troops in
Italy. May everlasting fame surround the victories of
the gallant Field-Marshal Radetzky.
" Major-General Prince Lichtenstein has just arrived
from Italy with the following intelligence:—
" Head-quarters at Milan, Aug. 8.
" The city of Milans is ours.

" It has submitted to the clemency of his Majesty
the Emperor. This day at noon I entered it with my
victorious army.
" The Piedmontese troops left to-day. According
to a convention concluded with them and with the
city of Milan, they must by this day at seven o'clock
have crossed the Ticino, and be without the boundaries
of the Imperial territory.
" "Two weeks have elapsed since our army entered
upon the offensive at Verona. In that time it has
fought famous battles at Somma-Compagna, Custozza,
Volta, Cremona, and Pizzighettone. Now, on the
fourteenth day, it is in poesession of the capital of
Lombardy.
" The army and its leaders have thus faithfully done
their duty to their beloved Emperor and country, for no
enemy stands on Lombardian ground. "
The bearer of this dispatch to the Minister of War,
Count Clam, is one of the bravest generals of the army.
Another of my Gallant Generals, Prince Lichtenstein,
carries a copy of the same dispatch to his Majesty the
Emperor at Innspruck.
" RADETZKY, Field-Marshal.
" The wretched Provisional Government at Milan have
been overthrown. Again does the Imperial eagle tower
proudly over Milan and all Lombardian cities.
" The disgraceful treachery of Lombardy to the Aus-
trian Government, and to the whole of Germany, has
been foiled by the victorious armies of Austria. The
just cause has triumphed!
"God save the Emperor!"
The. Vienna Cabinet is said to have dispatched a

The EMPEROR was expected to arrive in the capital
on the 12th, having left Innspruck on the Bth inst.,
at half past eight o'clock in the morning. Previous
to his departure his MAJESTY issued the following
address :
_

" To my beloved Tyrolese,
"Throughout the whole of my stay among you you
have given many fresh proofs of your st.tdfast and
justly-renowned fidelity and attachment. Under every
circumstance, and at this time, when the weal of the
empire demands my presence in the capital, for the
discharge of my duties, I feel constrained to offer you
my heartfelt thanks, and cordially to wish you adieu;
and I further add the assurance that, though far sepa-
rated from you, I shall ever think of you with love, and
shall ever regard you with a " feFER eling
DIN AND paternal
(1...5.)" affection.

The Tyroleans responded to ds adieu with the
most enthusiastic acclamationsot the departure of
the imperial cortege.
