THE FRENCH REPUBLIC,

We have received the Paris journals of Saturday
and of yesterday.
The review which was to have taken place on Wed-
nesday, but:which was put off on account of the wetness
of the weather, was held on Friday. The troops assem-
bled at two o'clock in the Cours-la-Reine, in the
Champs-ElysC'es. They consisted of three regiments
of infantry, which are about to leave Paris—the 24th,
the 39th, and the 62d—of two battalions of gend•
armerie mobile, of the 9th Dragoons, of ten battalions
of foot Chasseurs, and of the 27th and 58th Regi-
ments—in all about 15,000 men. The PRESIDENT
of the Republic left the Palace of the Elysee at
three o'clock ; he wore the uniform of a general of
the National Guard. On his right were General
RANDON, Minister of War, and General BARAGIJAY
D'ITILLIERS, Commander-in-Chief of the army of
Paris; and on hia left General NARYAEZ. The
latter was in full uniform, and wore the Grand
Cordon of the Legion of Honour. Behind the
PRESIDENT were the generals in command of the
divisions and brigades of the army of Paris, the
PRESIDENT'S orderly-officers, and two superior
English officers, who were specially invited by the
Prince. The cortege was preceded and followed by
small bodies of lancers, and followed by a squadron
of guides. The PRESIDENT first proceeded along the
line of troops at full gallop. He then inspected the
several regiments ; and, this having concluded, the
drums beat, and the PRESIDENT distributed a number
of crosses of the Legion of Honour. Some ma-
noauvres then took place, and the troops after-
wards filed off before the PRESIDENT. General
NAavaEa, who stood near, expressed the greatest
admiration at the admirable appearance of the
troops. With the exception of the 62d regiment,
the troops uttered no cry; that regiment shouted
" Vive le Pr6sident ! Vive Napohion !" This was
specially remarked, as it was said some time ago
that the regiment had been kept at Paris on account
of having uttered unconstitutional cries at the review
of Satory. There was a large attendance of specta-
tors. Some cries of "Vive la Republique !" were
uttered, but they were drowned by others of " Vive
le President ! Vive Napoldm !" The whole pro-
ceedings had terminated about four o'clock.

At the sitting of the Assembly on Friday, M. DE-
MOUSSEAUX DE GIVRB ascended the tribune, and
complained that the article of the regulations which
forbade any petition to be brought up by the peti-
tioners personally to the bar of the House had been
violated the day before, by the fact of a number of
students coming in procession to the doors of the
Assembly ; the term " bar of the House" was not to
be taken in its literal sense, for, in fact, no bar ex-
isted in the present Assembly ; but it was to be looked
at solely with respect to the principle which it involved.
M. LEON FAUCHER, who occupied the President's
chair, replied that the petition had been presented
with perfect regularity by M. VERMONT ; how the
petition had been transmitted to that gentleman did
not concern the Assembly, as long as the presenta-
tion of the document was in accordance with the re-
gulations ; if an unusual concourse of students, or of
other persons, had presented themselves outside the
House, that circumstance concerned the Minister of

the Interior, who ought not to have permitted the
assemblage to take place.
At the close of the sitting M. DEMOUSSEAUX DR
GIYRE laid a proposition on the table to prevent the
recurrence of a similar incident.

A new mode of settling the reimbursement of the
45c. tax was on Friday presented to the Assembly,
under the form of an amendment to the proposition
of M. BEERIER. The authors of this amendment,
MM. REY (de la Thome) and St. ROMME, members
of the Mountain, propose that a tax of eighty-eight
millions shall be levied in the years 1852 and 1853
on all capital consisting of state stocks, mortgagees,
&c., &c., out of which sum the Minister of Finances
will reimburse the 45c. tax. The Committee, after
deliberating on the order in which the different pro-
positions on this subject shall be brought before the
Assembly, has decided on placing first on the list
those of MM. COLYAVRU, C. LAGRANGE, and Du-
coux, for the restitution of the milliard paid to the
emigrants; after which will follow in succession
those of M. BERRIEN, M. CHAvoix, and MM. REY
and ST. ROMME.

" It is asserted," says the Opinion Publique," that
M. BERRYER intends to withdraw his proposition
relative to the 45c. tax, or at least, to materially mo-
dify the manner of effecting the reimbursement."
In the Legislative Assembly on Saturday, the Bill
for the postponement of the election of the officers of
the National Guard was carried by a majority of
418 to 239, after an animated discussion,:in the course
of which M. DE LAMARTINE eloquently defended the
conduct of the Provisional Government, and of the
National Guard in March, April, and May, 1848.
The Courrier Francais announces that its publica-
tion is suspended for the present. _ _

General. CASTELLANE, commander-in-chief of the
sth and 6th military divisions, has prohibited the
wearing of red rosettes, or any rallying signs in the
6th division (that of Lyons.)
The Ordre says :—" The Belgian Ambassador, M.
Flaxtri ROGER, gave a diplomatic dinner yesterday,
at which nearly all the Foreign Ministers now in
Paris were present. M. DI: PEESIGNY was among
the guests. A secretary of embassy having an-
nounced the arrival of dispatches from Vienna, Con-
taining the intelligence that Austria and Prussia had
arranged their differences, one of the guests, who,
from his position, ought to have received the earliest
intelligence on the subject, appeared greatly sur-
prised at learning this important news in such a
manner."

The Funds have undergone little change. Five
per Cents., for account, 94f. 20c.; Three per Cents.,
57f. 85c.
