NAPOLEON has, up to this moment, acted in every
manner as be come the first magistrate of a republic,

many dynastic recollections. Hitmelf the son of a

imperative want of pure water for the consumption of
the inhet ants of London and Westminster. Very

Havre, 9 '4l
Nantes, 51i.

Nothing could by possibility be ire better taste
than the terse but suggesive speech, in which the
President BONAPARTE addressed the .functionaries of
Dijon on the occasion of his arrival amongst thew.
Like all the other orations delivered by the Prince
since Lis elevation to the chief magistracy of the
Republic, the harangue in question will be found oe
perusal to have been characterised by that tamest but
unaffscted patriotism which has never Li ed to arouse
the enthusiasm of his fellow-chizsns. His reference
in it to the pre j,ct of a reform in the Constitu-
tion is marked, moreover, by the calmness of an
impassioned spectator, of one perfectly iudifferent to
cue dictates of either political antipathy or political
predilection. While the terms in which he aliudes to
the hostile power of the State, the power unforeunately
oy necessity antagonistic to his own, namely, that of
the Legislature as contradistinguished from the Ad.
ministration, are of a kind honourable to him as a
statesman in their union of dignity and amenity.
From all these things, it is scarcely possible to
prognosticate otherwise than advantageously to the
Republic, so long as the head of the nation continues
tem true to his oaths of allegiance.
Meantime the coupirators against the Constitution
in its entirety are flattering themselves into the belief
;hat at this moment there is something more than the
possibility of a Restoration. With the elder and the
younger branch of the house of BOIIIiBOIN still in ex.
iatence, they are even now sanguine teat the revolu-
tionary outbreak of 1848 tiny be turned to the ad-
vantage of Legitimacy—handing over the liberties of
the French people to the more secure custody of the
descendants of their ancient Sovereigns. Availing
themselves of the excitement provoked by the sug-
gested modification of the Constitution, they are
looking forward to the possible, and to them not only
possible, but probable, rupture of the whole of the
existing system. Nevertheless, in defiance of all
these hostile expectations, the true and moderate
Republicans may, we are satisfied, await with the
confideece expressed to the people of Dijon by the
President BONAPARTE, a confidence that the As-
sembly will fulfil its duties of revision in
a patriotic and conscientious spirit, aware of
the awful responsibilities hanging over them
in the emergency, more especielly seeing that
the great election of 1852 will come, off so very
speedily afterwards. Let each of the representatives
any, as earnestly as Lovis Neroesote said on Sun-
day, " Whatever duties the nation may impose it
will find me ready to accept, and, believe me, France
shall not perish in my handy.' Let them speak thus,
and think thus, and feel thus, and the Republic may
still laugh to scorn the evil machinations of its anta-
gonists. It may survive the plots of the ultra-Legiti-
Mittists as securely as it did the murderous assaults of
the Red Democrats. We have confidence that ,uch will
be the case, if the tnej.irity of the citiaans of France
remain true to the examples of probity and pairiutiem
hitherto afforded by the PakSIDENT.

the arguments we are here advancing, we would

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

We have received the Paris journals of yesterday.
the speech of the Par SIDENT of the Republic at
Dijon is the subject of comment in all of them, and
it seems admitted on all hands that the speech as
published differs very materially from the speech as
spoken, and it is said that none were more surprised
than were the Ministers at the impromptu alterations
which the PRESIDhAT had made in the speech. 111,
LEON FAuCHER, immediately after the delivery of
the speech, declared to the PRESIDENT that if the
speech were published as spoken, the Minis-
try would resign. The Minister having obtained
permis,ion to "cook" the eocumenr, at once set
ell fur Paris by special trair, and prepared an ex-
purgated edition of the speech for the Moniker.
The Ordre stetes that the speech, as delivered, con-
tained a passage in which the PriksllnifiT said, allud-
ing to the Legislative Assembly;; " teat he had found
a very decided co-operation for the-repression of dis-
order, but that when he wished to propose popular
ameliorations he had only met with'. inertness," The
Ordre regards this as a very violent and gross attack
upon the Assembly. In the Moniteur version of the
speech the following harmless passage occurs :
" They would have even that neither intrigues, nor
attacks, nor the passim:ate discussions. of parties, are in
harmony wi'h the sentiments and state of .ties- country,"
In the speeches spoken after the wordintrigueetheie
came, accurdiug to the Siècle, the words- of the salons,
and.before the word parties there occur:est the word
Parliamentary. If the version of the .Sickle and ot
Ordre be the true our, then may the speech ot the Paz-
SlDersT be considered as a declaration of war against
the Assembly, and in ihie light it is regarded by the
three great fractions of Which the Asssmaly is com-
posed. The Republican National says—
" The language of the Presid,uf, even softened as it
is, suffices in cur eyes to• constitute the most grave at-
tack upon the dignity and authority of the Assembly.
l'he sp•• eh at peen is an open defiance thrown out, to
the Lsgitiuns; aid Orieuniet majority and R. publican
minority. M. Bonaparte piece* himself uheve the Con,
atitution to put tore and in face of the 1, gialative power
what he calls his Government. Accoodiog to the Con
siltation, there is no other Ger. rument than the As
eemble cod the Presideet united, and of these two
powers the second is subordinate to the first. M. Bona-
parte understands things differently. Ha speaks of the
revision of the Censtitution as it it were possible out of
the formal limits of Article 111, and says he is re
solved to perform the mattes woicn th.- country may
impose upon him. The country has nothing to impOdu
upon 11. Bonaparte for the future; but the accomplish-
ment of the oath that ho to,tk on he 20 h of December.
That is not a new du y, and we are au, prised that M.
Bonaparte should consider it necessary fur us to re-mind
nue se it. We place before his eyes the text that be
swore to at the national tribune. 'ln predawn) of God
and of the Frestch people, represented by the National
Assembly, I swear to be faithful to • the ceusucratic lie
public, one and indivisible, and to perform all the duties
Imposed on me by the Constitueue Now, what does
ahe Constitution say ? them, on the second Sun'irty in
May, 1852, .ti. Bonaparte shad c.ase to be President ot
the hepuolic, and that he shed not be re•elieible for four
years. 'runs is our only answer fur to-day to the de-
claration of Dijen."
The Assemblee .Nationale, the organ of M. GUIZoT
and the ;List-utast:3, 13 still more indignent. It says—
** les pawn] are addressed these reproaches ot intrigues,
this condemnation of attacks. this blame on the passion

that above all political life is produced, is manifested?
The old monarchical parties of whom you speak form

which wou:d sweleov up in the failure of a third and last
attempt the remienbraitce of the good which you have
cffeettti, and of the evil which you have preveuted,
during your passage through power."
The Opinion Publigue, the organ of the ultra-
Legitialatists, says that this speech places the question
of revision on a new ground, for it is of a nature to
discourage honourable men, who still thought they
might reckon for the future on the moderation and
spirit of conduct of the PRESIDENT of the Republic.
The effect which it produced at the Asseurilaly was a

•
• Madrid journals of the 29:h ult. have arrived.
Them• h nothing of poli.ical interest. A decree in
the Gazette unites the general direction of the State
domains with tbat of direct taxes; this will enable a
considerable saving to be effected. The representa-
tives of different partiss were ab)ut to hold meetings
previous to the assembling of the Cortes. Some of
the journals baring stated that differences may
arise between the Spanish and English Governments
in consequence of mn Englishman named WID.DUAM
having been at Jolo on the occasion of the recent
expedi ion of the Spaniards against the pirates, the
Herald° states that he was nut in the island at the
time.
The Bulsa was closed.

PORTUGAL.
Advices have beta received from Lisbon to the
29'h ult.

The tir‘t meeting of the Council t.f S ate since the
arrival or SALDA/filiA was held on the 28:h ult, but
litile Of impoitance was trans,cted. A Committie
was being funned to exaenine into the financial state
of the country. The Diario contains it declaration
tram the Mini4ter of Finance, announcing that the
oivioends on the home and foreign debt will be paid
as regularly as heretofore. At Oporto, on the 29th
two regiments of C:,94dores at the instance of the
Cabral party, had attempted to get up a re actionary
movement, but it was at once sui.prested by the
troops and the populace.

GERMAN Y.
The inauguration of the statue of FREDERICK the
GREAT at Berlin, which took place on Sunday-, at-
tracted an immense multitude of spectators of all
classes. The rquare was Occupied by the royal guard ;
there were deputations of the army, who were received
by the Prince of PRUSSIA, of the schools, of the
trade corporations, &c. Numerous military bands
played, and cannon roared. The KING, who was
on horseback, and surrounl,d by a brilliant
staff; to;li up a tosition near the statue, and
signed with his hand for silence. The President
of the Council of Ministers then delivered a speech.
After a pause the litho gave the signal fur the
draperies which covered the statue to be re-
moved, arid at the same moment they fell. The
crowd then raised tbrer hurrahs, and the choir of the
cathedral chaunted, "Let all now praise the Lord !"
A hundred guns were afterwards fired, and the KING
addressed the deputations as follows :
"I address m)selt iu pre.ereuce to the representatives
of the city of Berlin, to congratulate them with all my
heart on having an ornament so beautiful and au striking
in the capital. I call to mind, in connexion with this
subject, the custom of the ancii t t peoples, s• ho suvended
hn emblem in the places which plessed theta most.
Gentlemen, let this monument be an emblem, but may it
be also something else—and I fervently pray God that
it may—namely a sign of reconciliation to all, and a
w..rninf to a great number to return to better senti-

Toe first burgomaster replied, and assured the
KING that the love of the people for him would in-

The Kis° added, " GOD grant it !" His MAJESTY
then presi.ed the hand of M. RAUCH, the sculptor of
the monument, who had previously been loudly up
plauded by the people. The troops and deputations
then filed WI before the Elsa, and the ceremony
ended.

Accounts from Vienna of the 31st ult. state that a
change of Ministry was considered probable, and the
Count LEO th- Minister of Religion, and the
great support of the Jssuits, would probably go out
of office.

On assembling the room was ordered to be cleared,
and after remaining In deliberation for about ten minutes
the parties were re-admitted. when
The CHAIRMAN intimated that the Committee had
come to the determination not to admit evidence on. the
details of the City plan.
Mr. TALBOT said, as the Committee had given that
intimation and thus abridged the discussion, and deprived
the corporation cf London of the privileges which
bflonged to their position, he bad re.prettufly to an-
nounce on the part of the city of London that he did not
intend to proceed. !archer with his ease.
The CRAlalitirrt4.--Do ycu Mean to withdraw from op-
position?
Mr. TALBOT—Oh, by no mt,ans. We mean to defer
our orposition to another occasion, when all parties will
bore an opportunit) of be:ng ht rad.
The CHAIRMAN —Du I understand-you that, as far as
the itm irrigation before this Committee is concerned, you
withdraw alt,gether from opposition?
Mr. TALIOT—Yru may perfectly understand that we
will allow time Committee to exercise their own discre-
tion entirely. We will not promo d any further.
Tiro Le,.rned Counsel, acouniparied by the other
Learned Gentlemen who appealed for the corporation,
then left the room.
Mr. KZTTLIi, OU the part of the owners and occupiers
of land .lia houses in the neighbourhood of Smithfield,

jury wbich they would sustain by the removal of the

Mr. Serg ant WRANGHAM said he understood the

The room was again cleared, and on the doors being
re opened,
The CHAIRMAN said the Committee objected to re-
-o„iyiug esidence on the preamble, though they
ovouhl du so with regard to the clauses of the Bill. The
Chairiban then inqglired what course Mr.' Sergeant
Wrangbam intended to pureue on behalf of the pro-
moo rs.
Sergeant WRANGRAIII—The case has closed in
such a rentatkable manner that I really hardly know
whet to do. Io cons* quence of tb- decision whicii the

drawn trim opposition on the preamble of the Bail, and

OA the tune of the Committee if I troubled them with
say further observathius.
The CHAIRMAN—Then the Committee will deliberate.
The parties Were accordingly requested to withdraw,
and the Committee remained iu deliberation for about
twenty minutes. On being re-admitted,
The Clianisurt said—The Committee have resolved
hat the preamble of the Bill is proved.
The consideration of the clauses of the Bill were then
proceeded with.

THE MASTER oF Sr. PANCRAS WORKHOUSE. ---
At a meeting of the Board of Directors of this parish, held
yesterday at the Vestry-room, King's-roa.t, Air. Pierce,
churchwurde.,, in the chair, a le.ter from the Poordaw
Board was read, relating. to tLe late charge against Mr.
Eaton, the master of the Workhouse, stating that atter a
careful and deliberate consideration of the minutes taken
before the directors, as also of the evidence given before he
magistrate. the board are of opinion, that it is not necessary
to institute any new inquiry into the subject.
THE GREAT EXIIMITION.—The South-Eastern
and Eastern Counties Companies have granted leave of ab-
sence to their officers for the purpose of visiting the Exhibi-
tion. We learn thut the Great Northern Company intend to
give the same privilege to thine offs r&
The Directors of the Iron and Citizen Steam-boat
Company have arranged to give all their servants (between
400 and 500) a holiday to visit the Great Exhibition, and
have given 40/. to enable them to do so free of expense to
themselves.

We regret to learn that Mr. Fox Maule has been
suffering from a severe attack of gout for several days past.
•At the half-3 eat ly triet-tiog of the Grand Junction
Canal, held yesterday afternoon, the report was adopted
alter some discussion with reaped to management. The
dividend declared on the original stock was 1/. 10s. per share
free of income-tax, leaving a surplus of 7,0171., which is to
be applied towards 'be extinction of the deb.. due from the
carrying department This dividend, in addition to the
usual di,buisement at the rate of six per cent. on the pre-
ference neck, will be paid on the Bth proximo. It appeared
from the report that the net earnings of the canal poper,
durii:g the six months ending December last, have amounted
to 28,87.14, which, it the deficiency of the carrying tiepa t-
ment, put down at 45541, and the interest on the preferential
stock and floating debt, re chug 3, 211., be deducted, would
leave the sum of 24,19.1. applicable fur distribution. A
payment would thus have been afforded of 21 per share, be-
sides a surplus of 1,2891. ; but the select committee, after
10111 consideration, recommended the lesser dividend. The
repairs of the v,•011t4 of the canal, toe enlargement of the
Brent reservoir by the Regents Company, the arrangements
made in connexion • theriwitb,, ant: the .theiency attained in
the carrying departments, were the other chief topics dealt
with in the statements submitted, to the proprietors.
Tax TEMPLE.—We understand tbet the benchera
of the Inner and Middle TEmple, with a liberality of spirit
that does them the highest credit, have directed their beau-
tiful ch rch and hails to be kept opeli during the week for
the inspetion of the public, and that they have prohibited
the attendainta trout receiving any feeaftlau the visitors.

MR. BARBER'S CASE.
Lord CAMPBELL said the Court had deferred el
their opinion upon Mr. Roebuek'a application in t"
case, made last term, till they had had an opportunity
°
seeing the additional affidavits, and considering the .odg:
went formerly pronounced by the Court in dischargi,et:
a rule which bad been granted, requiring the Law b°
ciety to show cause why Mr. Barber should not be I°,
_,,
admitted to practice as an attorney; and having done so
very deliberately, without reference to any technical
ficulties that might stand in the way of a favourable re-
sult, the Court felt deeply concerned to be obliged':
declare that they saw no sufficient reason for alteriel the former judgment. lie might mention
42 although be had not the honour to be a mem"
her of the Court when that judgment was givef:
still he had carefully perused the whole of it, and
was bound to say that he entirely concurred in the con'
elusions which his Learned Brother had come to. 10
Barber no doubt had not been directly concerned in the
frauds which led to his apprehension and aubsequeeb
conviction, but be must have been wilfully blind to the
proceedings of his client Fletcher, and thus he was the
means of enabling that wicked man in four successive
cases to avail himself of forged wine. lie might not, be
repea'ed, have been a direct party to those frauds, het
the negh ct on his part to inquire into Fletcher's eoriddel:
was a sufficient reason why he should not be Vermittee
to practice again. If an attorney, suspecting, as gr.
Barber must have done in this instance, that his client P't
having recourse to fraud to accomplish his purposes, and
that attorney continued to act for him as if he were
assisting the ends of justice, without instituting any in'
quiry into the matter, he was still guilty of gross mill'
conduct, notwithstanding that he bad not been directly
concerned in the fraud himself. On that account, the
Court were of opinion that the principle upon which the
former judgment proceeded ought not to be disturbed,
the more so as the Court found nothing in the new lA'
davits which ought to induce them to alter or reviet,
that decision. True, Fletcher's exculpation of Mr. Bel:
ber was rendered mote distinct; bet, from long expert'
ence in such cont.( ssiona, the Court had learned that
little weight was to be. attached to the statenfea of a man in his position, while -the Confession
itself left untouched the fact that a suspicion
must have entered Mr. Barber's mind of. the
fraudulent character of his client's proceedings.. lie
might not have contributed to the forgeries nor have
been a party to them, but tbe admission in the affidavit
that Mr. Barter would have found it exceedingly inconve-
oient to have lost Fletchet's business tended only to shoe/
that he wilfully abstained from making those inquiries
ainch a teepee:able attorney ought to have done under
the circumstai cell. Adhering, therefore, to the principle
of the former decision, and finding nothing in the new
affidavits to induce or warrant a different conclusion, the
Court were bound to refuse the rule moved for by Mr.
Roebuck, and they wished it to be distinctly understood
!hat this was their final decision in this painful case.
Mr. Barber's own careless misconduct had brought upon
himself the privation which he bad undergone, and upon
a review of all the circumstances of the case, the Court
were of opinion that the due administration of justice
required that he should not be allowed to practice as an'
attorney again.— Rule refused accorabgly.

The monthly report •
of the• produce markets, furnished
by 11. W. Jtwebbury and Co, states:--" The slight im-
provement in the foreign and colonial produce markets
which we noticed in our last, was but of very abort du-
ration, and has been succeeded by a return to the pre-
vious dull and inactive state, which is at present the pre-
vailing feature for nearly all descriptions of produce.
The arrivals have been large, and importers have BUD.
plied the markets freely, evincing a desire to realize by
dig, aecepting lower rates for most of the leading articles.
Notwithstunding the general flatness of the markets,
business must be now considered in a healthy condition;
dealers confine their purchases to supply actual demands;
the deliveries for consumption continue large, and stocks
are low. The itquiry for dyes and dyeing materials is
but limited, and prices have a downward tendency. The
advices from the Continent report the markets as rather
firmer, but transactions are restricted to requirements
for consumption."
The committee of Mexican Bondholders inform us
that their c.,mtnuttication through the United States
Embassy did nut leave unt:l the 31 of May by the Cam-
bria, which arrived at Boston on the 13th, so that the
letter could not have +imbed Boston until the 15th, when
the President and the greater part of his Cabinet were

ASSAULT ON A POLICEMAN.--James Henry was
placed before Mr. Bingham charged with violently as-
saulting police-constable Marshall, 86 C.
The constable, whose face was much cut, stated that
about one o'clock this morning lie was on duty in Peter-
street, when he saw the prisoner, who was rather the
worse for. liquor, creating a disturbance, to the annoy-
ance of the whole neighbourhood. Witness persuaded
him to go away quietly, when the prisoner suddenly
turned round and struck him with something which he
had in his hand a severe blow on the face, and nearly
cut his eye otit. Witness immediately closed with
the prisoner, and after a deal of resibtance on the
part of the prisoner, succeeded in conveying him to the
station.
The prisoner, who denied the charge, was committed
for a month.

I.I3IPIIDENT ROBBERY.--.William Ellis was charged
with stealing a box coat value 71., the property of the
Earl St. Germans, 36, Berkeley-street.
• Frederick Jtf;p, his Lordship's coachman, said this
morning about half past seven be was going down the
mews to his stables when he saw the prisoner come out
of the coach-house with the coat produced on his arm.
Witness ran after huri,und gave him in charge. The
coat produced is worth
.71., and is the property of his'
Lordship. The prisoner, who pleaded starvation as the.
cause of his committing the offence, was sent for trial.
A Yourtro itAscAL.— William Elphick, a lad about 15
years of age, was brought before Air.' Bingham, charged
with the luliowing &nee:—
Mr. James White, landlord of the Spread Eagle, 303,
Oxford-street, stated that the prisfuer had been in his
service us potboy for ab.ast six weeks, but had so:mis-
conducted himself that he had received notice to leave.
Yestet day afternoon, from what witness heard from his son,
he (aitutss) went into his spirit cellar and found that
some gin was running from one of the vats from two
holes which had been bored at the back. He examined
the cellar, and at the back of the vat a brick bad been
forced out of the wall, leaving a space sufficiently'
large to admit a pe6on'a baud, and thus afforded
thew au epportunity to bore the vat. As the prisoner
had threatened to au him some injury, he was suspected
al the author of the malicious act, and given in charge.
