THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING-, DECEMBER 6, 1848.:

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

We have received the Paris papers of yesterday.
The Moniteur du Soir announces that the POPE
had arrived at Gaeta on the 25th ult., and that the
King of NAPLES and the Royal Family had repaired
to Gaeta to pay their respects to his HOLINESS. The
news was transmitted by telegraph from Marseilles,
and was the substance of a dispatch from the French
Minister at Naples.
We find the following in the Pressi:—" A rumour
was current last night that the Grand Duke of
TUSCANY has fled from Florence and left his States.
We give this news without in any way guaranteeing
its exactitude, but which unfortunately, since the en-
trance of M. GUERRAZI to the Ministry, is far from
being unlikely."
The National says—"We can announce that the
place in which the conferences between the mediating
Powers and Austria are to be opened is definitively
known. It is Brussels which has been proposed, and
accepted by a common accord."
There were three Socialist banquets held on Sun-
day in Perim. The first was at Grenelle, and was
presided Gver by Count D'ALTON SILEE, who made a
speech, in which he called kings thieves, pillagers,
and assassins of their people. Referring to the recent
discussion in the Assembly, he said that the people
would not forget that CAVAIGNAC and LEDRU ROLLIN
had endeavoured to prove that they each took the
promptest and most energetic measures to repress
what they called the insurrection, and cause the blood
of their brethren and children to flow. He concluded
by expressing regret, and blaming the duel between
PROUDHON and FIAT. There were about 800 per-
sons present. The second banquet was held at
Sevres. MM. LEDRU ROLLIN, PROUDION_, and
FELIX PYAT were present. M. LEDRU ROLLIN
urged the necessity of carrying out the revolution to
its full consequences, and proposed that, instead of
calling themselves by different names, all those who
agreed with him in opinion on that point should call
themselves Revolutionists. A third banquet was
held at the Barriere du Maine, and was attended by
1,800 persons of both sexes.
The delegates of the Socialist democrats in Paris
have declared in favour of LEDRU ROLLIN as candi-
date for the Presidency of the Republic.
The seamen on board the ships forming the French
squadron at Naples, consisting :of two ships of the
line and three steam-frigates, have given their
votes for the President. Of the number, 620 have
been given for General CAVAIGNAC, 303 for LOUIS
NAPOLEON, and 361 for M. ARAGO. The latter gen-
tleman, it will be remembered, was Minister of the
Marine under the Provisional Government.
M. Lucius BONAPARTE has been elected Deputy
to the National Assembly for Ajaccio.
Upwards of 2,000 of the National Guards of the
7th Legion, headed by their Colonel, waited on Gene-
ral CAVAIGNAC on Sunday and presented to him the
following address :
" Citizen Chief of the Executive Power,—As organ of
the feelings of the 7th Legion, I come as the bearer ot
the expression of its fraternal sympathies, and at the
same time of its adhesion to the sentiments of the Na-
tional Assembly, so well expressed by the venerable
Dupont (de I'Eure) in the sitting of the 25th ult., when
the Ass-ably again proclaimed before France and the
whole world that in the events of June, 1848, GenarAl
Eugene Cavaignac bad deserved well of his country."
The General, whose appearance was welcomed by a
unanimous cry of" Vive Cavaignac," made the following
reply:—

" Monsieur le Colonel and dear fellow-citizens of the
7th Lesion—.l thank you for this effusion of your feel-
ings towards me. On a recent occasion, when I had to
thank my fellow-citizens of other legions for similar de-
monstrations, I told them that however good my cause
might be, I had found iu the declaration of the National
Assembly sufficient recompense and encouragement.
Yes, it is an encouragement to every good citizen to be
able to say to himself, that where he acts with sigh t
loyalty and justice, public feeling is always sure to go
with him. Yes, every man unjustly attacked for his acts
may be certain to find, on the day when he shall justify
himself, an echo in the country and in the hearts of his
fellow-citizens.—(Loud acclamations.) I repeat, I thank
you for this manifestation. But however precious such a
testimony may be to ms, it adds nothing, and can add
nothing, to my complete and absolute devotedness to the
nation and to the Republic.
"It is certainly a sweet recompense—but once more
I say that devotedness is and will remain absolute and
proof against every trial. Vive la Republique."
This cry :was repeated with enthusiasm by all pre-
sent, mingled with that of " Vive Cavaignac."
M. CLEMENT THOMAS has published a letter stating
that, having exercised the command of the National
Guard on June 23d, until obliged to withdraw from
it on account of being wounded, he thinks it right to
declare that the orders which he gave were not inde-
pendent of the plan of General CAVAIGNAC, and
hence that the plan of defence against the insurrection
did not exclude the National Guard.
An electional committee, composed of delegates
chosen in thirty electoral sections of the third arron
dissement, sat on Saturday to discuss the claims a
the different candidates for the Presidency of the Re-
public. The number of delegates present was 89.
The votes were as follows :—For General CAVAIGNAC,
75 ; LEDRU ROLLIN, 6 ; LOUIS BONAPARTE, 5
blank votes, 3.
The Gazette des Tribunaux says—" The Prefect of
Police has given very severe orders in consequence of
certain rumours which have been current respecting
clandestine depots of arms and ammunition. A
rigorous surveillance is exercised in several quarters
of Paris, which have been particularly signalised to
the authorities."
In the course of the sitting of the National As-
sembly yesterday, General CAVAIGNAC made the fol-
lowing communication :
" We have already had the honour of informing you
that we have received a telegraphic dispatch, from which
it appeared that the Pope had left Rome in the night,
between the 24th and 25th, for Gaeta, and that the
Mignare had left Civita Vecchia, under the order of OUT
ambassador at Rome, to go to Gaeta. That dispatch
also indicated on the part of the Pope the intention of
coming to France. I wish now to give an account to
the Assembly of what has happened since. I remind
the Assembly that, in the course of the 26th, orders
were given by telegraph for the collection of troops at
Marseilles. These orders did not reach Marseilles till
the evening of the 29th. It was only on the 29th that
M. de Corcelles left Paris. He reached Marseilles on the
30th. Oa the 2d of December a dispatch reached Mar-
seilles from our Ambassador at Naples, announcing to
us the arrival of the Pope at Gaeta, and the departure
of the King of Naples to meet him in that port. On
this news, which gave him the certainty of the presence
of the Pope at Gaeta, M. de Corcelles started from Mar-
seilles for Gaits, in order that he might, as soon as
possible, place kimself in communication with the Pope.
On the night of the 2d, M. de Corcelles had already
started, and the troops were still in the port of Mar-
seilles. We have dispatches of the 2d December, which
state that they are still moored if, the roads. As soon as
the Government learnt that tho Pope was no longer
threatened in his person, it understood that the
departure of the troops had become useless.
It had already sent a telegraphic dispatch to
M. de Corcelles to prevent all misunderstanding.
That dispatch set forth the conduct which he
was to pursue, according to circumstances. A dispatch,
by which we ordered the troops not to start, could not
be dispatched till this morning." He closed by remark-
ing that these different delays were occasioned by the
state of the weather. Some of the dispatches sent by
telegraph bad only reached the Government by post.
He concluded with the following words:—" I now re-
sume the present position of things. It is certain that
the Pope left Rome on the night of the 24th to the 25th.
It:is also certain that he arrived at Gaeta in the course
of the following day, and that he has been there joined
by the King of Naples. We also know that M. d'Har-
court, who left Rome on the same day, has taken the
Terme from Civita Vecchia to carry him to Gaeta. Be-
sides this, we know that M. de Corcelles has started
from Marseilles, to join the Pope at Gaßa, and that an
aviso has also sailed from that port for the same port.
We have no later news."
