THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

We have received the Paris journals of yesterday.
The !etoniteur publishes a decree, appointing Gene-
ral PELISsIER Governor-General
,ad interim of Al-
geria, in the place of General D HAUTPOUL, whose
mission has terminated. This is a cool way of
getting rid of a man who has ceased to be useful. The
fate of General D'HAUTPOUL will not increase the
ardour of the supporters of M. Louts NAPOLEON
BONAPARTE.
The partisans of the Elysee are evidently alarmed
at the blunt manner in which Dr. VBRON in the
Constitutionnel occasionally blurts out the truth. The
.111oniteur du Soir has the following paragraph on the
article from the Constitutionnel which we published
yesterday, and which has aroused the ire of the Legi-
timatists and Orleanists.
"Every one knows that M. Veron directs his jout-
nal according to his own fancy, and at present in no
way expresses the idea of the Government. Whys
therefore, does the Opposition persist in rendering the
Ministers and the President of the Republic responsible
for the eccentricities of the Constitutionnel."
The gunmakers at Liege, who have recently suf-
fered much from want of employment, are about to
be actively engaged, in consequence of orders from
foreign powers, One house alone has received an
order to make 50,000 muskets for the Russian Go-
vernment. .

The last of the Paris races took place in the Champ
de Mars yesterday. Just before the hour fixed for
the commencement of business, there was a heavy
fall of rain, which deterred a vast number of persons
from attending ; but, as the weather became fine af-
terwards, a considerable crowd gradually assembled,
and before the races were over nearly the whole of the
course was lined with spectators. Within the ropes
there was a.
tolerable show of carriages, though it was
not equal to whit is witnesttsir 'OVUM frotirabje
occasions. The stands were about two-thirds• full,
but there were very few ladies in them. The mem-
bers of the Jockey Club and other sporting cnarac-
ters, as usual, mustered in full force.
M. DE FALLoux appeared in the Assembly on
Saturday.
The Bourse was gloomy, and a decided tendency to
a fall in prices was manifested.
The Five per Cents. opened at 90f. 60c., rose to
90f. 75c., but fell subsequently to 90f. 30c., at
which price they closed. The Three per Cents.
closed at 56f.

STRAND THEATRE.

A two act farce from the pen of Mr. Robert Brough was
produced last night at this theatre, under the title of
Kensington Gardens. It was hailed with peals of laughter
throughout, and proved a decided hit. A fast young man
(Mr. A. Davies), in amusing himself by rather impertinently
addressing every petticoat he encounters in the gardens, is
at last invited by a Member of Parliament's wite to drive
home to dinner, as she can by no other means get rid of his
importunities. Here to his horror he finds a large party
assembled, to whose faces he is mercilessly quizzed by the
lady of the mansion (Mrs. Seymour), and introduced to each
guest as " the gentleman with whom she has not the
honour of being acquainted." Among others, how-
ever, he finds her niece, his old flame (Miss
E. Romer), with whom he is, of course, at length
made happy, but not until after some highly ludicrous
passages of arms with the other personages, of whom the
principal are a duelling old Colonel:( Mr. Tilbury), a snobby
gent. (Mr. Rogers), and a pert waiting-maid (Miss
Marshall). Had the principal character been in the hands
of a good light comedian the cast might have been pro-
nounced perfect; as it was the piece went off admirably.
Mr. Rogers, in his small part, was delicious. He is a
thorough artist in his line; indeed he and Mr. Tilbury un-
derstand the mystery of " dressing!' a character as well se
any actors en the boards. The entire piece is replete with
fun, and on the fall of the curtain the honour of a recall was
accorded to all the dranzatis pei sons., and the author
crossed the foot-lights amidst vehement plaudits. The
piece was very well mounted and appointed. The house
was excellently attended, and the good humour of the audi-
ence unbounded.
(From the Daily News.)
Kensington Gardens—a topic of the day just now—
were lest evening made the subject of a sparkling little
comedy, in two acts, by Mr. Robert Brough. The fun is
based upon the lady-hunting propensities of a gentleman,
who afterwards meets in a drawing-room the young ladies
he bas annoyed in the gardens. Mrs. Seymour, as a digni-
fied married lady, and Miss Marshall, as a pert waiting-
woman, acted well. The piece was quite successful, and was
performed to a full house. Mr. Robert Brough, at its conclu-
sion, was called upon to bow his acknowledgments before the
curtain.

ing, polish, vivacity, and sparkling wit of high comedy.
The story of the piece is one of those simple themes, a mere
, situation in fact, in which M. Scribe loves to take from the
life of the salons, and which, under his skilful management
of half a dozen dramatis persona, seems to expand, as if by
its own force, into a perfect . comedy. Emmeric d'Albret„
a young and successful composer, has many good gifts
and a brilliant prospect before him—the worthiest
_of
uncles, the prettiest of cousins—a love fur the latter,
which she very decidedly returns—every possibility of
a match which seems sure to make his happiness. But
he wears a chain of which he is heartily tired, yet which he
cannot break. When he came first to Paris he was without
friends, interest, or experience—without anything, •in fact,
but genius And ambition. lie found. a guardian-angel in
Madame de St. Geran. In pure pity this lady, by giving
the young musician that great necessity to success, oppor-
tunity, °pent! to him tare doors of fortune and of lame.
He repaid the service with adoration, and found his
angels mortal. Hence a crowd of miseries which at once
a:stotti*ti and perplex his friend Hector hallandatd,
aroue de preinfi'le instasee, to whom the lite of ;he salons
had seemed from attar the be ightest of pro-pests. The in-
terest of the piece, evolved with ail the skill of Scribe, turns -
on the struggles of Emmeric
with a tie which 'esteems
and interest alike make hint anxious to break, ou the etf;)rt.a
of Madarna de St. Geran to prolong' her power, and on the
indefatigable zeal and wonderful perplexities of Hector heX-
landard, who acts as the never- failing scapegoat oftiia frienJr
gaining thereby the character of the gayest of deceivers, in-
stead of that of the purest of crones. The most remarkable
agent, however, in the deliverance of Ernmeric, is no less a
personage than Mousiour de St. Germ), the mildest and
most musical of fatal duellists, the most generous and
loyal of deceived husbands. He hears the story of the

his scrapes, such happiness in store for him. Madlle. Ja.

piece was the amusing trifle, Le Roman d'une Heure, in
which the graceful and striking figure of Addlle. Faivre ap-
peared to great advantage as the Young Widow.
