THE FEE'NCII REI'UBLIC.

We have received the Paris journals of yesterday.
The Moniteur publishes the resolution adopted for
the prorogation of the Assembly from the 10th
August to the 4th November.
The Moniteur also publishes the following commu-
nicated paragraph :
" The Siecle of this day contains a new calumny
against the President of the Republic. It insintv tes
that the President is much embarrassed, as he had to
pay some debts contracted at the Bourse, and which were
not his own. If justice be powerless to punish such at-
tacks, it is important to give to them the most formal
contradiction. The President has paid nothing at the
Bourse fbr any person, and has nothing to pay for
himself."
The Siècle containing the article alluded to in the
Moniteur was seized, and is to be prosecuted. The
Siècle of yesterday comments on the seizure and con-
tradiction as follows
Thus, on the one hand, it is admitted that justice is
powerful enough to punish our attacks since we have
been seized; and on the other, the Government, in one of
its journals, declares that such attacks are of so inoffen-
sive a nature that justice is powerless to punish them. We
shall see what the jury will think of it, and since it is
before it that we shall be interrogated, it is there that
we shall reply. We have not the right to republish the
ineriminatal article, but we may be allowed to observe
that it is at least unwise to thus make the President of
the Republic the hero of an anecdote, in which his name
we: not even mentioned; we may be allowed also to say
that we spoke of the mad party of the Elytea, and cer-
tainly that expression is moderate when it is borne in
mind that it is this same mad party whose passions were
designated as detestable by M. Odilon Barrot, and that
M. Jules de Lasteyrie and the Prefeot of Police himself,
in speaking of external adherents, used a still stronger
expression. It will be seen that our expression was much
softened down. It is those detestable passions, it is this
mad party which the Ministry, and doubtless more par-
ticularly M. Leon Faucher, takes under its special pro-
tection; it is these detestable passions which, according
to the communicated note, may be attacked without
meriting the rigours of justice."
The Assembly has appointed Thursday (this day)
for the nomination of the Committee of Permanence,
who are to sit during the recess, and for the renewal
of its Bureau.

We find the following in the Patrie :
" M. Emile de Girardin has had the talent to wear the
public out with his political transformations. He can
no longer surprise any one, and nevertheless there has
reached us from London a piece of news, the correctness
of which we can guarantee, and which will astonish
even those who have ceased to be surprised at any-
thing. M. Ledru wrote a letter to one of his friends,
dated London, Saturday evening, which reached I'sris
on Sunday evening, in which, in his Lacedemonian la-
conic style, ho says, It is now four o'clock in the after-
noon; Emile de Girardin has just left my house; he
came here at eloven this morning. We are agreed on
all points.' M. Emilie do Girardin has discovered the
secret of surpassing himself in political vaulting."
We extract the following, on the subject of the
Presidential election, from the Independance of
Brussels :

" The rumour has been spread that M. Guizot now
inclines to the cause of the President of the Republic,
and that he is, in turn, to receive the support of the
Government as a candidate for the representation of the
department of the Seine, in the room of General Mig-
non. But need I add that I believe that M. Guizot has
too much sagacity to suppose for a moment that he can
have any chance at Paris, the town of opposition par
excellence, and which always voted against his Ministry?
The report of M. Guizot's leaning to the President is
said te, have been confirmed by an ex •Minister of Public
Instruction under Louis Pnilippe. Everything causes
me to believe that the Legitimatists at the last moment
(in spite of die visit to Claremont) will prefer M. Louis
Napoleon Bonaparte, as an unconstitutional candidate,
to the Prince de Joinville. It M. Guizot be faithful to
his new penchant he will follow them; but M. de sal-
vandy and other portions of the fusion will, it is said,
return to Orleanism."

By two decrees of the PRESIDENT of the Republic,
the National Guard and the Municipal Council of
the Commune of La Souterraine (Creuse), have been
dissolved.

The Municipal Council of Carbonne (Haute Ga-
ronne) has been dissolved by a decree of the PRESI-
DENT of the Republic.
We read in a supplement to the Journal de Lille of
the 29th :—" The following is the result already
known of 250 sections of the department of the Nord
—Electors inscribed, 104,078. M. VAISSE has ob-
tained 35,145; M. DELAROYERE, 9,221 ; lost votes,
5,032. The number of votes necessary to render the
election valid is 36,250. There are still 101 sections
of which the results are not known. The election of
M. VAIssE is secured."
The Court of Premiere Instance has issued an or-
donnance, in which it is delared that, after a minute
examination of the charges of corruption brought by
M. CARLIER against M. LE➢IULIER, representative of
the people (in the document published by M. FOR-
CADE), it finds that no sufficient grounds have been
established for a prosecution against M. LEMULIER.
There was a fall in tho price of Government Securities
at the Bourse, which was attributed more to the state of
the monthly account than to any political cause. The
Five per Cents, opened at 95f. 65c., and closed at
95f. 30e. for the end of the month; the Three per
Centr. closed at 57f. 10c.; Orleans Railroad Shares,
862 f. 50c. ;? Rouen, 640 f. ; Havre, 245 f. ; Great
