THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

We hare received the Paris journals of yesterday.
The Presse has an article, signed by M. EMILE DE
GIEARDIN, on the subject of the revision, from which
we extract the following :
" If so great a country as France could lower itself
so far as to accept for an instant the challenge of par-
ties, the most cruel trick that could be played the
Orleanist or Legitimist. ones would be to take them at
their word and say—' You wish for the revision ; well,
then, there it is for you The unfortunates, what
could they do with it ? The very first question brought
forward would divide them ; for what the Orleanist
party desires, the Legitimist party rejects. The Legi-
timist party will not have either the preponderance of
the middle classes or equality of religious creeds ; the
Orleanist party will not have either the supremacy of
the nobility or the exclusion of creeds other
than the Catholic one. Between the Legitimist
party and the Orleanist party there is a chasm
of ideas which separates them more effectually
than France and England are kept apart by
the Channel. What precedes explains the poverty
of reasons and the embarrassment of demeanour of M.
de Broglie before the Committee. He said nothing)
and what could he say? If he asks for the total revision
of the Constitution, it is not, he declares, to re-establish
monarchy. What, then, is it for? Is it simply to agi-
tate the country? Nine votes against six have voted the
revision. So muck the better. The report must explain
what is wanted, and the various questions must ba clearly
exposed in the tribune. So much the better again!
Yesterday the confusion of the revisionist journals was
visible. Hold up your heads since you triumph! Bear
your victory with courage! Do not allow yourselves to
be overwhelmed by it! Each of you resembles a fox
caught by a fowl! What, then, would it be the morrow
of the day on which three-fourths- of the.. Legislative
Assembly would have voted the total revision posed"
by M. de Broglie?"
The whole of the sitting of the Assembly on Thurs-
day was occupied by the speech of M. Sr. BRINE in
favour of free trade.

The Gazette tie France says it is informed that M.
DE TOCQUEVILLE requires twelve days to prepare his
report for the Committee on the question of the revi-
sion of the Constitution.

The trial of the persons accused of belonging to the
secret society which issued the bulletins to the people,
the army, &c., commenced on Thursday before the
Court of,Assizes of the Seine.
The seconds in the late duel between M. OLLIVIER
and M. DE GINESTOUS, at Montpellier, have been ar-
rested and lodged in prison.
