who are always ready to straggle against the progress cf.
the Republic, come here to state that the white flag had
been exhibited and carried a v,-c: before in th:,, Haute

As a proof of the existence of a wide-spread re-
actionary conspiracy to restore, per fas aut nefas, the
old regime in every country of Europe, and of the
complicity of the English Tory aristocracy in the
plot, we quote the following extract from a letter,
writtten by M. GUIZOT, to a person in Paris, in sup-
port of the candidateship of Louis NAPOLEON, and
which appears in the Patrie of Thursday :--'• The
revolutionary policy," says M. GUIZOT, " has failed
in Italy, Poland has not risen, Germany is escaping
from the Propaganda. In three months:" he continues,
" a coalition, if not as hostile to the full as powerful
as that of 1815, will be formed against France. The
Government of the Republic," he adds, " trusts to the
English alliance. This alliance has no chance
of lasting. The British aristocracy permits Lord
Palmerston to remain, for a time in the Foreign-
office, in order not to break officially with France
for the present. They wait until the Republic
sufficiently weakened within by the fruits of those who
direct its eairs, and without by the combined influ-
ence of all Royalists, shall be tottering to its fall
Then they will eject PALMERSTON, as an instrument
used up,' and a purely Tory Ministry will be in-
stalled in office." We thank M. GUIZOT for this
warning, and in return warn him not to trust too im-
plicitly to the British aristocrcy. The British people
will never again suffer themselves to be hurried into
a war with France in support of aristocratic or ab-
solutist principles, and the British aristocracy, what-
ever may be their promises to M. GUIZOT, have too
prudent a regard for :their own self-preservation
(which would 'inevitably be compromised by any
endeavour to play 1798 over again) to make the
attempt.

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

We have received the Paris papers of Saturday and
Sunday.
The Journal des Debats has the following on the
state of the account between the Treasury and the
Bank :

" This account current amounted to 22,579,0001. on
the 9th of November; it has now fallen to 19,305,000 f.
This is a farther diminution of 2,374,0001. on the re-
sourcea which the Bank has placed at the disposal of the
State. These resources amount now to only 44,274,000 f.,
sinco there only remains 25 millions to be raised from
the Bank, which, added to the amount at the Treasury
account, gives 44,274,000 f. But M. Goudehaux ad-
mitted in the Chamber that the expenses exceed the
ordinary receipts by a million per day. At this rate,
with our 44 millions we will reach the end of the year.
But at the end of December we have the six months'
interest on the Three per cents to pay. This
interest was not very heavy a year ago, but it
has become so since. The Three per Cents.:figure
in the Budget of 1848, which was voted in 184?, fur
only 68 millions and some thousar ds of francs. To-day
it exceeds 84 millions, which makes 42 millions for th
half year's interest. This is nut all. There is, hes:des,
the pensions, or which three months fall du in Decem-
ber, and which require an additional sum of 15 millions.
In short, about 60 millions are wanted by the end of the
year over and above the daily expenses, which are co•
vered not without difficulty by the receipts from th.•
imposts, and the 44 millions remaining unexpended o'
the loan from the Bank. What have we to meet that 60
millions? We have the instalment of the loan and the
portfolio of the Treasury. This shows, in the first place,
how important it is that the subscribers to the loan
should continue paying their instalments, which will not
be the case if the Five per Cents. fall 51. more; but, be-
sides this, the loan will not give 60 millions, which we
require, and we must, therefore, have recourse to the
portfolio of the Treasury.
The Debuts then proceeds to examine in what the
portfolio of the Treasury consists, and comes to the
conclusion that its amount as an available fund
has been greatly exaggerated, and: concludes by
calling on the Minister of Finance to state explicitly
the exact nature of the capital and the securities
which it contains.
In the same journal we find the following on the
subject of the Anglo-French mediation in the La
Plata affair :
" Whatever may be the intentions of the English
Cabinet, the following', according to the information we
icuaire, will be the oombiet of the French Government.
At the earnest request of several mernbt-ra of the Na.
tional Assembly, it has decided upon taking an imme-
diate and energetic determination. Convinced as it is
that any further delay, by necessitating the fall of Monte
Video, would produce the gravest misfortunes to our
fellow-countrymen, it has, by telegraphic dispatch, sent
for one of the most distinguished officers of our navy,
and is on the point of intrusting him with the means
necessary for the defence of the interests of our com-
merce and our policy, and for the consolidation of our
influence, which is shaken in that country."
A note has been published in the public journals,
signed by Messrs. GARNIER PAGES, PAGNERRE, Du-
CLERC, and BARTHELEMY ST. HILAIRE, setting forth
their views on the approaching election for Presi-
dent. It commences by declaring that a number of
false reports render it imperative on them to declare
their sentiments. Universal suffrage, they say, is the
life itself of the Republic, and everything that tends
to impede its free and uncontrolled exercise they
consider of a nature to compromise the Republic
itself. The dangers which the Republic may have
to run, they consider to be of three kinds—coups-de/at,
usurpations, and excesses, and these they are firmly
determined to oppose by every means in their power.
They then speak in strong terms against any inter-
ference with the people in the election of President, and
particularly by the members of the N ational Assembly,
who by any declaration on their part, or mark of
sympathy in favour of any particular candidate,
would thus, they say, enter into engagements which
might in advance bind them to a certain line of con-
duct with respect to the President who might be
elected, and might thus injure the interests of the
State. In consequence, they think it incumbent on
them to refrain most carefully from offering any
name to the public, as that of the person whom they
would wish to support; but they do not, they say,
conceal from any of their fellow-citizens, who indi-
vidually demand it, what their sympathies and re-
pugnances really are. " The only engagements,"
they say in conclusion, " that we ought to take be.
fore our country, are those which we have during
our whole life taken with ourselves : —Love for the
Republic and its defence, and the most sincere respect
for the will of the people, when the people shall have
manifested its will."

MM. BONNIN, BARTHELEMY, BOIIRDEAU, BEREN-
GER, and PLEIGNANT, representatives of the people
for the department of the Vienne have declared them-
selves in favour of General CAVAIGNAC for the Presi-
dency of the Republie, as offering every guarantee
fur the stability of the Republic, for the maintenance
of order, for the respect of family ties, and for pro-
perty.
The representatives of the department of the Two
Sevres have formally adopted General CAVAIGNAC as
the candidate they shall support for the Presidency.
A few days ago a deputation of the electors of
Macon waited upon M. DE LAMARTINE, at his coun-
try-house, to invite him to preside at a banquet. M.
DB LAMARTINE addressed the deputation in a speech
of some length, thanking them for the honour that
they proposed, but requesting that, in the present
state of things, the banquet might be postponed,
which was acceded to, and the month of May fixed.
In the course of his speech M. DE LAMARTINE, allud-
ing to the approaching election for the Presidency of
the Republic, said :
" You are aware that conversation turns on my very
involuntary candidateship to the office of first magis•
trate of the Republic. Ido not seek that post; I would
rather refuse it, were it not a desertioa and an act of
cowardice to refuse any post whatever, when the Re-
public may be defended and served. I should not, there-
fore, refuse this honour if imposed on me by the tree
and voluntary suffrages of France. But I have not the
presumption to think myself necessary, not even the
confidence that I could be more useful than another in
that high post of the Republic. I should think it un-
worthy of France to endeavour to influence
her by acts or words. I should think it un •
worthy of myself to endeavour to exalt myself in the
face of my country. lam what I am, what God has
made me, neither more nor less. his for my country to
judge if I can or not still serve it in any way. It is not
for me to plead for my pride, or to humiliate myself by
begging for confidence and votes, which are of value only
when voluntary, conscientious, and maturely reflected. It
would be said, besides, that I seiza on this opportunity, or
that I have contrived it to publish here a manifesto, a
programme for myself, as candidate for the place of
President. What is the necessity of a manifesto for a
man whom France beheld for three months at the Hotel-
de Ville, or at the Hotel of Foreign Affairs ? For a
man who spoke for three months of the Republic, and of
the moderate, honest, constitutional, progressive, and
conservative sense, which he attached to that word? My
name is a manifesto ; my life during those three months
is a programme—or if not, there are no manifestoes or
programmed intelligible to the mind and to the eyes of
the people. I cannot, therefore, consent to falsify my
position, in appearing to desire what I dread. If I am
elected, I will accept, and I will be devoted to my duty.
—(Applause.) It I am not elected, I shall be well
pleased, cud I will realise the word of an orator in our
first assemblies : The Republic would be possible, if
some one would consent to be the second.' I will be the
second, the third, the last ; no matter what, provided
the Republic be well served and well defended ! '

A letter was received on Saturday by the Syndi-

cate of the Bourse from the Minister of Finance, an-
nouncing rhat the salt-tax would be kept on next
yenr, and that, while this source of revenue would be
maintained under the present circumstances of the
Treasury, the army would be reduced by 50,000 men,
and expenses diminished. This letter has given the
greatest satisfaction, and relieved the mind of the
leaders of the money market.
M. LEGRAND presented to the Assembly on Satur-
day the report of the Committee of Mercy on the
cases of the insurgents of June ecndernned to trans-
portation by the Committee of Inquiry. In con-
sequence of the light punishments inflicted by the
courts-martial on the leaders of the insurrection, the
Committee recommend that the exile of the insurgents
transported by the Committee of Inquiry should be
commuted into various terms of imprisonment.

Madrid journals of the 13th have arrived.

The weekly account of the issue department of
the Bank made up to the 12th instant, gives the
following results. The notes in circulation, which
amounted last week to 109,380,600 reals, have been
reduced to 108,229,000 reals, through the cancelling
of 1,151,600 reals received fur customs duties, &c,,
leaving a surplus circulation of 8,229,003 reals still
to be cancelled, in order to bring down the amount to
100,000,000.

The specie and securities remain unchanged at
100,000,000, one-third in the former and two-thirds
in the latter.

The amount of notes cashed during the week was
2,219,800 reals, which notes have become the pro-
perty of the Treasury, which has replaced specie to
that amount, signed by the manager, Don ESTEBAN,
PAREJA, and approved by the royal commissary, &d.,
Don Luis ARMERO.

The Government papers state that General LER-
SANDI had "defeated CABRERA at Cubells, but they
add, as the Cervera courier has not arrived either to-
day or yesterday, we are not in a position to be ab'e
to confirm this intelligence ; and conclude with
stating that very probably the reb3ls have intercepted
the couriers, in order to prevent us from receiving
such, to them, disagreeable news.
It is certainly rather curious to hear the victors
complain that the vanquished intercept their commu-
nications. The victory, we should opine, from this
circumstance, was the other way.

the 31st of October, it has appeared most incontrover-
tibly that the National Assembly in its deliberations and
resolutions, is under the terrorism of a lawless democracy.
"The repeated proposal to affird th,3 Assembly the
requisite protection has been mrst inconceivably and
unwarrantably refused. That which may have appeared
to afford it protection and to elicit important decisions
has proved itself wholly insufficient.

"A cry of disgust and of the most dechli,d indigna-
tion has been raised both here and throughout the whole
country, and we can by no means recognise resolty ions
adopted under such terrorism as the true and deliberate
expression of the sentiments of the lligh National As•
sembly, far less as those of the whole country.
" We are convinced that the High National Assembly
owes it as a duty to the dignity of the country to issue
a law for their protection; and further, that every delay
increases the general confusion, tends to impoverish the
middle classes, and increase the misery of the lower
Orders, and that the whole country is brought to the
very brink of universal and unbounded destruction.
" Unhappily the want of requisite protection has here
and there caused the death and the shedding of blood of
several of our fellow-subjects. Wherefore the burgher
union of this place, while it at the same time expiesses
the sentiment of the whole body of burghers, wishes and
demands that the High National Assembly will speedily
and in due form take heed that it obtains that protection
Which is indispensable to it in. order that the members of
the same may deliberate :and resolve according to thiir
conviction and their conscience.

" The measures for the protection of the German
Nati,hal Parliament in Frankfort assembled, are thus
guarded, and we most de'cididly expect the adoption of
similar measures for Berlin; and, further, we consithr,
it indispensable that in case of need they shall be main-
tained and carried out by the hrmed force.
• " We are fully persuaded that the High National
Assembly will do all in its power to set bounds to that
lawleis and anarchical procedure which impedes them in
their highly-important work; so. that the work of the
Oonstitution—of the Administration which is so gene.
rally 'longed for, may be speedily t.ccomplished.
" Signed by the Presidents of the Burgher Union.
" Sehingen, Nov. 9, 1848."
• We on Saturday mentioned the fact that the
Assembly had on the 14th voted the refusal to pay
taxes•after the 17th. The Dusseldorf Gazette gives
the following account of the • proceedings on that
occasion :

" During the sitting a the National Assembly in
the hall of Mielenz, and while the refusal to pay
imposts was being discussed, a major and several
Officers appeAred in the hall. The major walked to
the President, and after having spoken a few words
to him in an under tone, the President demanded of
him .whether he had a written, order to dissolve the
Assembly ? The major replied that he had brought
only a verbal order from General Wrangel, who had
refused to give him a written order. The President
contested his right; the' major then retired with his
men, while great agitation prevailed in the Assembly.
The• major himself was visibly agitated, and conducted
the whole business with the grqategt delicacy.
As soon as he had quitted the hall a general cry
*as'raised, " Let 113 proceed to vote," and the As-
sembly, amid great acclamations, proceeded to vote
the refusal to pay taxes after the 17th. The vote
Was followed by indescribable expressions of joy,
tears, embracings, &c. .

The Guzette de Cologne says, the committee of the
members of the right and: centre of the National
Assembly also have ceased to sit, and have sent to
Prankfort two of their members, Messrs. Ostermann
and Rekhhensperger ; they have addressed the fol-
lowing letter to the Ministry of State :
• "-The under-signed comm,ittee of all those Deputies
who, faithful to their conviction-that the transfer of the
:Nat!cnal Assembly does not infringe upon any right,
.either of the people or:of thcil Representatives, have
submitted to the order of the Crown under date of the
'9th of this month, regard it as their duty to ask the
.Ministry of State without• hesitation whether it has
already olderid the immediate convocation of the
National Assembly in consequence ot• the suspension of
the Habeas Corpus Act, commanded this day for the
.city of Berlin ?

" The Committee is of opinion that this convocation
:should take place immediately, conformably with the
law of the 24th September last, if they do not wish
to violate the sacred rights of the people.

" THE COUNSELLOR CF THE RIGHT AND OF
THE RIGHT CENTRE."
•
We learn that this step has been crossed by a reso-
JutiOn of the Ministry,;which, of its own accord, an-
ticipated this desire. . The Convocation of the Na-
tional Assembly at Brandenburgh is to take place
shortly before the 27th;. :

The delegates of the city have adopted an address
:to the National Assembly, declaring themselves in
favour of a refusal to pay the taxes.
On the morning of the- 15th several companies of
troops were stationed: before :the. Hotel de Ville to
-prevent the deputies from -attending the sitting of the
-.National Assembly, Whio Was • fixed for eleven
-o'clock. A small body of officers and men were
also stationed within the building, who were com-
missioned to prevent, :with great politeness, the en
trance of the deputies, while the armed force placed
.at the right and left plainly indicated that a refusal
• would be followed by serious measures. A plenary
:sitting could not, therefore, be thought of. The
deputies made reiterated and vain attempts, and
each individual made a• solemn protest. Every
deputy a 3 he protested Was loudly cheered.
The deputies, considering that they have done enough
to show their non-obedience to the prorogation, will,
it is understood, desist from any further attempts at
assembling. The search for arms had commenced on
the 16th, and had prooeeded with uninterruption, but
it had hitherto been confined to the aristocratic quar-
ters of the city.
In the meanwhile the soldiers and even the police
are wavering in their allegiance. The Presidentof
the Police has protested :against WRANGEL'S order
mgpending the publication of certain newspapers.
lle has been in consequence dismissed, and URN-
KELLEY of Nuersburgh appointed as his successor,
but a concourse of the Burgerwehr, &c., of Vurse-
buig, fell on him at the rsiilw-ny station, and prevented
him from prosecuting his journey.

The de-Caro—is of Colonel SOMMERFIELD, who
directed the attempt agairist the Hall of the Assembly,
has been placed under arrest, for saying that the
Colonel, in doing so; 41 been guilty of an act of
treason. The name of this Aide- de-Camp is WYDEN-
Bilucx. He has since been sent to Spandau.
There was a rumour in Hs yesterday that the
afflairs'of Prussia were in a fair way of being settled
amicably. It is said that mutual concessions are to
be made on the part of the KING and of the Assembly.
The Ministry would' be' changed, and M. GRABOW
authorised to form a new Cabinet. It is said that
the French Ambassador offered the protection of
France to the Assembly, and that the latter rejected
it with great dignity. To this circumstance is, in
souse degree, attributed ' the conciliatory disposition
that has arisen. The. disarming of the civic guard
was proceeding peaceably, and it was understood that
the force would be l'-organized.
Intelligence has since beenleceived from Berlin to
the 17th, at which date all WAS tranquil.
