THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

'We have received the Paris journals of yesterday.
The National in commenting on the absurd at-
tempts of the Burgraves to create an impression
that an alliance had taken place between the Re-
publicans and the Elpee, says, in speaking of the
vote on the Questors' Bill—
" The Left did not regard with whom it voted, but
for what it voted. They consent willingly to allow M.
Bonaparte to for ward the affairs of the democracy; but,
to conclude from that they are ready to forward the
views of M. Bonaparte, is nothing but sheer mockery.
We have no need to state here how profound is the
abyss which M. Bonaparte has made between the de-
mocracy and himself. What, then, can any one
mean in affirming that a portion of the Left
has formed an alliance with the Elyeds ? To
speak so is to accuse the Republicans of deserting
the Republic, is to make them enemies of Art. 45, that
is, Decembrists. But to put an end to all misapprehension
on the point, we here declare that if amongst the votes
given by the Questors' proposition, there aro any Mem-
bers of the Loft, who dream of a union of the E1y146.?,
the Republicans would disavow them. No, the Repub-
licans aro not entering into any arrangement with M.
Bonaparte, and they who say so do not believe one word
of what they affirm. We are at present respectively
what we always were, and have neither to reckon up
our wrong,, nor to make a reconciliation. The Ques-
tors' proposition is nothing but a mere incident. The
maintenance of the Constitution and the re-establish-
ment of universal suffrage.is the whole policy of the Left."
It is said that had the Questors' Bill not been
thrown out by a large majority a military coup ditai
would have been attempted by M. Louis NAPoLEoN
BONAPARTE on that very night.
MogrAN has been named President and M.
D'ADELSWARD Secretary, of the Committee on the
Bill for maintaining the state of siege in the Ard6-che,
Cher, and Nievre. M. D'ADELsWARD is one of the
four members of the Committee who, in the bureau,
opposed the Bill.
The Aohiement says :—" It appears that a Bill for
the suppression of the octroi duties, drawn up by
Louis NATOLEoN, will be presented to the Assembly
before the end of next week."
Accounts from Marseilles state that the steamer
La Ville de Grasse, going to Cannes, was run down
by the Ville de Marseille, and that nearly all on board
the former perished.
The Legislative Assembly, on Wednesday, continued
the discussion on the part of the Municipal Bill
relating to the suffrage in the communes. The
principal question under consideration was the
length of residence necessary for persons not
born in the commune. The Committee pro-
posed three years, whilst M. IiIoNET presented an
amendment to reduce that length of time to one. After
a di„„sioa, which was chiefly marked by a speech
from M. DE LAROcHTIJAQuELEIN in favour of the
shorter period, the amendment was rejected by 301
votes to 256.
Whoa the Assembly met yesterday, M. DE LARCT
said that the Committee, considering the important mi-
nority that had voted in favour of only one year's residence,
had met this morning to examine the different amend-
ments presented since yesterday, one of which reduced
the residence from three to two years, and another to 18
months. The Committee, after some discussion, had re-
solved to adopt the period of two years, as an honourable
and equitable compromise.
The proposal to reduce the term of domicile to two
years was carried by 344 to 218, notwithstanding the
protest of M. LEON FAUCHER.
The Bourse was feeble, with little business doing.

SPAIN.
Madrid journals of the 15th have arrived.
We read in the Clamor ,Publico :—" An interest-
ing question arose yesterday in the Committee on
the Budget, on the chapter of the royal household.
The Ministry applies for an annual pension of 540,000
reels (about 135,000 f.), for DON CeaLos Luis, Duke
of Parma, in lieu of the interest of a grant by
CHARLES IV., in 1795. The Duke and Doze LUISA
CARLOTA, who claim this SUM jointly, have only re-
cently recognised Queen ISABELLA. The Ministry
have also presented a claim for an indemnity to DON
FRANCISCO DE PAULA, in lieu of what he enjoyed as
Commander of the Order of St. John. These grants
were objected to by some of the Committee as being
irregularly presented. They ought, it was observed,
to have been the object of special laws. The Com-
mittee appointed a Sub-Committee to investigate and
report upon the subject."

GERMANY.
The Emperor of AUSTRIA still continues his at-
tempt to regulate the course of exchange at the point
of the bayonet, and each day sends a body of armed
men to the Bourse of Vienna to keep up by terror a
fictitious price for his assignats. The Red EMPEROR,
however, is, in this instance, as well as in the establish-
ment of a reign of terror, merely a servile imitator of
ROaESPIERUE•
A new law on the press in Coburg Gotha has
caused all newspapers in the Duchy to disappear;
and the public prosecutor, specially charged to watch
over the journals, has, in consequence, given in his
resignation.
Prince ADALBERT of Bavaria arrived at Potsdam
on the 17th inst., on a visit to the King of PRUSSIA.
