THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

We have received the Paris papers of yesterday.
The Assembly has adjourned to Tuesday, the 29th,
on which day it is expected that M. ODILON BARROT
%%ill present the programme of the new Ministry.
The Democratic Pacifigue says—" It was stated
yesterday, in the National Assembly, that the Pre-
sident of the Republic is in dissension with his
Ministry relative to the amnesty, which his
Cabinet does not desire, but which he wishes
to demand from the Assembly. We are assured that
he entered into a formal engagement to do this in a
recent interview with Citizen THEODORE BAC. It is
this difference of opinion which has caused, it is said,
the adjournment for four days which the Assembly
has just made, in order to give to the first magistrate
of the Republic the time to concert with his Ministers
on the point."
M. EMILE DE GIRARDIN, the disappointed one, is
preparing to go into opposition. The Presse ex-
presses its dissatisfaction with the new Cabinet, which
will not open its eyes to the transcendent merits of
General GIRARDIN, or its doors to the loud,knocking of
his son. It really is very hard upon poor EMILE,
after having done all the dirty work of the re-
actionary party, to be left with only the dirt for his
pains.
The Debats says—

" Wo shall wait to see the Ministry at work, without
malignity, and rather with the desire to applaud their
efforts. They will have our support as long as they
shall be faithful to the line of moderation imposed upon
them by public opinion. For eighteen years M. Odilon
Barrot was our adversary, and yet wo never refused to
do justice to his talents and his character. How then
can it be difficult to praise in him, if he gives us Cause,
the devoted, courageous, and capable Minister ? When
we shall see France tranquil and prosperous, if we shall
still have regrets, they will not at least render us unjust
towards those who shall have devoted themselves to the
glorious task of re-establishing order and tranquillity."
The Constitutionned says—" M. DE MALLEVILLE on
Wednesday evening took possession of the Ministry
of the Interior, as was natural on the part of a
Minister charged to watch over public tranquillity.
The other Ministers installed themselves yesterday
morning."
The installation of the President of the Republic
in, the Elysee Bourbon gives a certain animation to
that quarter. Numerous visitors have been to_

inscribe their names. A deputation from the Invalides
yesterday waited on the new functionary. Two sen-
tinels have been placed at, the entrance of the palace.
Workmen are putting down pipes for lighting the
' building with gas, and statues are being placed in the
garden.
M. NAPOLEON BONAPARTE is to go to London as
Envoy to announce the installation of the President
of the Republic.
General CHANGARNIER has informed all the officers
in garrison in Paris that any military man attending
the clubs will be sent away from the capital.
The Marciteur announces the following appoint-
ments :
"M. Baroche. representative of the people, to be
Procureur-General in the Court of Appal of Paris, in
the place of M. Coyne.
" M. Edouard Thayer, Direet•z-General of the Post-
office, in the place of M. Etienne Arago.
" M. Adouille, formerly Inspector General of Fi-
nances' is restored to his office.
" M. Chappuis, formerly Inspector of Finances, is ap-
pointed Inspector-General of Finances.
" M. Legrand (de I'Oise) is appointed, provisionally,
Director of the Personal and Secretary. General of the
Minister of Finances. _

" M. Dubost, the Administrator of the Post-office, is
restored to his functions."

The papers contain no news. Paris is perfectly
tranquil, and the accounts from the departments de-
scribe commerce as improving.
BOURSE.—PARIS, FRIDAY, DEC. 22.

THREE o'CLocK —The French Rentes opened higher
than the closing prices of the preceding day, but after-
wards gave way, recovering, however, towards the
middle of the Bourse, and closing with a considerable
advance on yesterday's quotations. The Five per Cents.
opened at 75f. 90c., went down to 751. 25c., and closed
at 76f. 25c. The Three per Cents. opened at 451. 75c.,
and after remaining at that quotation, for some time,
began to mend, and closed at 461. 75c. The Loan was
weak, and but little negotiated, closing at 75f. 50c. The
market, on the whole, must be looked on as firm not-
withstanding the partial decline. The calls for the de-
livery of stock were insignificant, only 6,000 f. being dia.-
counted in the'Five per Cents., and I,Boof. in the Threes.
