THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

We have received the Paris journals of yesterday.
The Dnire itreartaiaz.formotet in favour-off. 14.
CRETON'S motion for the recall of the exiled Princes
of the House of Bourbon, and in the event of that
motion being carried, the Prince DE JOINVILLE will
start for the Presidency of the Republic.
Great preparations are making for the grand fete
which the city of Paris is about to give to the Com-
missioners of the Exhibition of all Nations on the 2d
August. The Prefects of the principal towns in France
have been invited.

It appears certain, says the Debats, that the Pre-
fect of the Seine has received the reply of Lord
GRANVILLE, Vice-President of the Royal Committee
of the Exhibition of London, to the invitation sent
for the municipal banquet of the 2d of August next.
Lord GRANVILLE announces that he shall shortly
come to Paris, where the name of his father, who
was English Ambassador for ten or twelve years
'after the revolution of July, has left the most
honourable souvenirs. To the other files, which
the city of Paris intends to offer to its guests, as al-
ready announced, we may add, a representation at
the Opera, for the evening after the grand ball at the
Hotel de Ville. The Municipality has retained seve-
ral hundred places for this representation.
The Bonapartist Committee for the revision of the
Constitution has issued a bulletin urging on the
agitation from petitions.
The Sanitary Congress has been formally opened
at the Ministry for Foreign Affairs, where it held its
first sitting on Wednesday. M. BAROCHE, who was
in the chair, made a speech, in which he stated the
objects of the Congress, and expressed a hope that it
would lead to a material modification of the rigour
of the quarantine -laws. The number of members
present being only sixteen, the second sitting was,
after some discussion as to the mode of proceeding
during the Congress, fixed for the 4th of next month,
in order to give time for the arrival of the other eight
members.

Accounts have been received from Algiers to the
20th. They announce the continued successes of the
expeditionary column in Kabylia.
The Union Franc-Comtoise, of Besancon, pub-
lishes the following extract of a letter, written by
General BARAGUAY D'HILLIEES to one of his friends,
in the department of the Doubs :
" I hope that my determination to quit the command
of the army of Paris, will have been properly under-
stood in the department of the Doubs; but I owe it to
my friends to explain myself clearly to them. Art. 68
of the Constitution does not permit me to bo at the
same time a representative and a functionary of the
State. The second paragraph of that article leaves it to
the electoral law to specify the exceptions which are to
be made to this rule. Art. 85 determines these excep-

tions, among which is not included the command of the
army of Paris. I found myself, therefore, placed under
the necessity of either resigning that command or my
seat as representative. I considered that I owed to the
electors..,who did me the honour f returning me to the
Assenibly, to sacrifice my comin;ing. thettiterest
of the ,Government and of my own dignity, I would
not expose myself to the reproach of illegality. The
first duty of a good citizen is to respect the laws of his
country, however absurd they may be. As a general
and as ox-president of the Parliamentary Club of the
Rue de Poitiers, I was bound to set an example. Such
were the only motives of my determination, and I leave
my fellow-citizens to appreciate them. /n my eyes, there
is nothing more distressing than the violation of the law by
those whose duty it is to make it respected."
