THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

We have received the Paris papers of yesterday.
The Moniteur contains a decree signed by the
chief of the Executive Government, accepting the
resignation of M. GousairAux, and appointing M.
Moms CrieuvAL, Minister of Finances, in his place.
In the National Assembly on Wednesday the in-
terpellations addressed by M. GEANDIN to the Mini-
ster of the Interior, on the subject of the Socialist
banquets, produced the good effect of eliciting from
M. DurAusn the most satisfactory assurances not
only with regard to the intentions of the Govern-
ment, but also with regard to the state of the public
mind. He at once admitted the, right of the public
to meet at those banquets as long as they were inno-
cent manifestations, but he also maintained the rights
placed by law in the hands of the Government to
suppress any which might become dangerous to
public tranquillity. He added that he entertained no
apprehensions from banquets such as those
which had been recently held in the Fau-
bourg du Roule, and at other places in
the neighbourhood of Paris. With respect to the
number present at the last social and democratic
banquet, he declared that those who stated that there
were 2,000 present, flattered themselves ; in point of
fact, there were only 1,100, although 6,000 invitations
had been sent out, and the tickets were at last sold at
half price at the door. Besides this, it had been
ascertained that it was always the same set of persons
who attended the banquets and made a business of
them. In these circumstances the public would soon
discover of how very little importance such meetings
were, and at all events the Government was prepared,
in case of their becoming dangerous, to do its duty.
The Hon. Minister then alluded to a paragraph which
had recently appeared in some of the Paris papers,
signed by M. NAPOLEON BONAPARTE (the son of
JEROME), stating that persons well informed had
stated to M. Louis NAPOLEON BONAPARTE that an
attempt at an eutbreak in Paris was preparing in his
name, and that M. Louis NAPOLEON BONAPARTE
had considered it necessary to inform the Minister of
the Interior of the subject, declaring, at the same
time, that he knew nothing of such an attempt him-
self, and that he repudiated that and all other mea-
sures which might disturb the public peace. M.
DI:MAVEN, in the most sarcastic manner imagin-
able, expressed his regret that M. Louis BONAPARTE
had not thought proper to publish his (M. Du-
Females) answer to this communication which was
" That those who had told him so were ill-informed,
far that there was not the slightest intention on the
part of any one in the metropolis to get up an esieute
in his name."

Hereupon M. NAPOLEON BONAPARTE ascended
the tribune to justify his cousin's proceedings, and
was replied to by M. CLEMENT THOMAS, who in an
intemperate speech attacked the whole of the
Bonaparte family, and accused Prince LOWS NAIFO•
LEON of aiming at the imperial dignity under pre-
tence of being candidate for the Presidency of the
Republic, and of having sent emissaries into the
country to excite like ignorant peasantry to favour
his pretensions. A violent scene of mutual recrimi-
nations between thd, Bonapartes and M. CLEMENT
THOMAS followed, which was only put an end to by
the Assembly passing to the order of the day.
General LAMOILICIERE introduced a Bill on Wed-
nesday, authorising the transportation to Algeria of
those of the insurgents of June who had been con-
demned to deportation.
It is said that the inhabitants of the colony of
Senegal have elected M. EMILE DE GIHARDIN as their
repreientative to the National Assembly.
The Club of the Rue de Poitiers have determined,
on the motion of Count MOLE, to support a proposition
for the postponement of the election of President of
the Republic until the month of January.

The Ministers of the Interior and of Justice have
addressed a circular on the subject of the democratic
banquets, to the Prefects and Procureurs-Generaux.
The banquets are not to be prevented, but no public
functionary can attend them. The public must be
admitted, and a commissary of police be present to
take notes, which are to be reported to the local au-
thorities.
Lord BaouGuest has arrived in Paris.

The clubs of the Palais National and of the In-
stitute have agreed to join the club of the Rue de
Poitiers in supporting a proposition for the
Ministers,postpone-
ment of the election of President until the organic
laws with respect to the responsibility of
with respect to elections, and with respect to the
appointment and functions of judges , shall have passed.
The club of the Palais National has, however, re-
solved to support an amendment of which N. LANG-
LET has giTen notice, and the object of which is, that
a Provisional President should be nominated, who
should retain the office till the dissolution of the
Constituent Assembly.
It is intended to propose the 24th February as the
day for the election of President of the Republic.
At the sitting of the Assembly yesterday Prince
Louis NAPOLEON ascended the tribune, and read
from a paper a reply to the accusations brought
against him in the previous sitting by N. CLEMENT
Tnomas. He at once admitted that he was a candi-
date for the office of President of the Republic. He
declared that it was his right to be so, and he would
not renounce that right, whatever provocations were
addressed to him. This declaration was listened to
by the Assembly with chilling silence. The dis-
cussion on the project of decree, fixing the 10th of
December as the day for the election of the President
of the Republic was then commenced.
N. PAGNEUItE opposed the decree.
Count Mona then rose, and declared that, in his
opinion, the interests and the safety of the country
required that the election should be postponed until
after the passing of the organic laws.—(lie was
speaking when the post left).

PARIS BOURSE—THURSPAY, OCT. 25.
THREE o'CLocK.—The Bourse opened to-day con-
siderably above yesterday's closing prices, and the Rentes
continued to advance till two o'clock, when the news
was brought of the intention of the Assembly to reject
the decree fixing the election for the 10th of December,
and they after that gave way rapidly. A great quan-
tity of Five per Cents. Rentes was discounted, for the
purpose of supporting the Rentes. The news from Italy
continues favourable to the cause of peace, and this pre-
vented a fall. Ultimately both Rentes and shares closed
rather above yesterday's prices. For the Account, the
French Three per Cents. have advanced 20c., the Fire
per Cents. have advanced 10e., and the Loan remains
the same as yesterday. For Money, the French Three
per Cents. have advanced 15c., the Five per Cents.
have risen 15c., and the Loan 10c, ; Bons du Tr6sor not
quoted ; Bank of France Shares have fallen 5r.; Belgian
Bank Shares are at 665 ; Five per Cents. have risen i
per cent. ; Spanish Active, not quoted; Three per Cents.
