THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

We have received the Paris journals of yesterday.
M. Yoe.; has been induced to tender his resignation
as Commissary of the Assembly, and M. DUPIN has,
to quote the words of the National, had the weakness
to accept it. In his letter of resignation he says—
" Notwithstanding tha honourable decision of the
Bureau of the Assembly to retain my services, I have
determined, from unwillingness to embarrass the As-
sembly, which I have faithfully served, to relieve myself
of the funetipns of Commissary of Police, which the As-
sembly did me the honour to confide to me."
The conflict impending between the Assembly and
the Executive will not be even postponed by the re-
tirement of M. YON. The official reception of the
1 LegiAstive Assembly took plaf.7e at the Elysee on
1 Tuesday evening, and th,:, two l'icsickno, M. BONA-
PARTE and M. Durre, could not refrAin, even
on that public and complitnentlkry occasion,
from talking at each other. In his address
M. DDPIN took occasion to assure the PREfiIDENT 'of
the Republic that all the acts of the Assembly, as well
as thole of its Bureau, were inspirecl by a profound
attachment for the person of the Pse.stneekT, and a
warm desire to preserve a good utdeiete.netieg be-
tween the two powers of the state. Ilereufkii he was
interrupted by M. BONAVARIE, who audibly ex-
claimed, " I must believe is, M. le President, because
you say it." On which Goucral BEDEAU immediately
withdrew in disgust. The address Niai% again
interrupted by the Peas-IDE:NT of the Republic, who
thus addressed the President of the Assembly - :
"You and I, each in the limitS ct our attributes,
must endeavour to enforce respect for the laws of the
country and the authority RHA is given to us by the
constitution, without encroachment by the one power
on the other. Ido not insist on the prcrogation -of
my powers, but I do insist, when I shall restore to
the people the power which I have received trern ,it,
to restore it intact end respected. My conviction is,
that Franca wishes for peace and order, and it would
blame the one of.the two powers which would attack
the other." The entourage of the Elysk treated M.
Dorm with the greatest contempt, and observed that
as he bad played out his part the sooner he quitted
the stage the better.
M. DE LA DEVADSATE, a Beurbonit reprisentntlee,
has given notice of a proposition to the effect that
every represt-rotative whose allowances have been
• seized for debt within the.' last three months, shall
be considered as having giveD his rellienation of hie
seat- in the Assembly. It is not eeicl whether the
lion. Gentleman intends to apply the some principle
to the Presidency of the Republic.
We find the following in the Independenxe of Brus-
sels of Sunday.
" There was much talk Ilst evening in a large poll.-
ticA salon of a letter said to have been adtirFuctt by

one of the Princes of the House of Orleans to an
eminent individual in FriLTICO, and in which tho idea of
the fusion of the two branches was considered as imprac-
ticable, impolitic, and compromising for the dignity
of the children of Louis Philippe. According to this
letter, the ex• King, before his death, is stated to have
said nothing which could be either directly or indirectly
considered 23 an approbation of, or a desire for, such a
fusion, or even as a tendency towards acts which might
lead to it. The members of the House of Orleans are,
all more united than ever in this idea, and in the resolu-
tion to keep away from any co-operation in political
movements of any kind. The old chiefs of the Orleanitt
party entertain similar feelings as regards the fusion.
All that may be attempted or imagined in certain com-
mittee:, the principal fault of which is that they have no
authority from the contracting parties, is therefore
without value, without foundation, and without im-
portance."
