HURSDAY EVENING,
_SEPTEMBER 4, 1851

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

We hate received the Paris journals of yesterday.
M. CREMIEUX has addressed to the Presse a letter,
dated " Toret de Saon, August 29," concerning his
steward, M. LARGER, lately arrested under the
charge of seducing from their duty some soldiers of
the garrison of Lyons. The following is an extract ;
" I became acquainted with Larger in this way :
After having been acquitted at the trial at Bourges, he
was a member of the conclave who decided on the no•
mination cf my friend Eugene Sue. He soon after fell
ill, and a sleeting took place at my house to see what
could be dm for him. A collection was made there
to raise sufficient money to pay his rent. He was
at the tine in an hospital, in consequence of
wounds received in Africa, and his wife was on
the point cf being; confined. I gave orders that she
should want for nothing. Larger afterwards came to
me in great affliction and irritation. I cannot,' he said,
accept what you have done for my wife and child. A
collection is for me a humiliation. I will work to the
bone to pay what has been advanced.' This indignation
touched me. It was on that occaqon that M. de Girardin,
being refused in his cffers of service by this worthy
man, wrote him a letter, which has been seized. Soon
after I purchased the forest of Saon in the Drome. I
wanted a sum man to put over the property. I offered
Larger the pace of steward, which he accepted,
and for more than a year he has been living in
my house. He was summoned as a witness to the Lyons
plot. After his testimony, he asked in vain for leave to
depart; he was at last arrested. I learned his arrest on
my arrival in Lyons, and I went the neat day to the
Procureur of the Republic. Tho following is part of our
conversation:—' Larger is arrested?'—' Yes, for a politi-
cal offence.'—' Committed since he has been living in
my house?'--' No.'—'ls the charge a grave one?'—
' Yes, it appears a very grave one. Larger was one of
the most ultra-demagogues in Paris. After the law of
May 31, he has gravely compromised himself:—
But he has been for a year living upwards of one
hundred and fifty leagues from Paris. Supposing that
ho had enter ed"ed to any plot, he has evidently with-
drawn from it Ills year. It is surely late to ask him
to account for hi c)/onduct at present.' All I can say
is that the matter is a grave one.'—' Is he in secret con-
finement?'—' Yes, and will be, I think, for several
days. As to me, I shall only have the commencement
of the matter, which will terminate elsewhere.' Such
was our conversation, and nothing was said to indicate
to me that Larger had made any attempts of the kind at-
tributed to him at Lyons. When his lodging was searched
his cap was seized, and it happened to be a red one.
Also, the first number of Tissot's History of the Revo-
lution,' but this ltper has been since sent back to Mme.
Larger. What ,ley like they keep, and what they do
not want they se ),Id away—it is admirable! However,
all that may be, hero is my steward in prison, his wife
ill, and his child of fourteen months without support.
If a great demagogical plot is on the tapis, his affair will
be long! But I pray you to re-assure my friends, by in-
forming them that I have nothing to do with the crime
alluded to; that I have not seduced any soldier of the
garrison of Lyons; and that Larger himself appears to
me not to be prosecuted for that offence. But lot us
wait until the reign of the Moderates shall come to
au end!"

A letter from Paris, in :the lndependanee of Brus-
sels, says :—" Conferences of a certain importance
have just taken place at the chateau of Champlatreux
between Count MOLE, M. GUIZOT, who arrived from
Claremont, M. DE NOAILLES, recently returned from
Frohsdorff, M. DE VALMY, M. DE MONTEBELLO, and
M. BERILYER. A plan of campaign, consisting in
advancing the general elections, was resolved on. It
was, moreover, decided that the revolutionist league
of 476 should be continued, and that that majority
should take, without regard to any dissension, all
the measures which the crisis of 1852 may render
necessary.
The Assemblie Nationale, the organ of M. GUIZOT,
has a long article on the candidateship of the Prince
DE JOINVILLE, which concludes as follows
If the Prince do Joinville should succeed in persuad-
ing himself that he can usefully and properly become a
candidate for the Presidency of the Republic of 1848
(which seems to us impossible) be should be the more
anxious to make known the determination the more
it is considered improbable. Until then, and in pre-
sence of the rumours which are spread on this can-
didateship, we only feel ono duty and one right,
that of doubting, and nut believing. Nothing is
then changed in our situation: like Sieyes, we may
say that we are to-day what we were yesterday,
and that we shall continue to preach monarchical con-
ciliation with that lively and ardent faith which becomes
animated by obstacles instead of being astonished at
them. But if, under vain pretexts, the respected name
cf the Prince de Joinville were to be cast into
the revolutionary conflict which is about to take place
fur the elections of 1852, we should not hesitate to
combat with all our force a candidateship which would
be a serious injury to the monarchical principle, and
would throw us into an ocean of difficulties an dangers.
The Princes of the Orleans family owe their blood to
France, and will always be ready to shed it for her. But
France will never ask from them—and they do not owe
to her—the sacrifice of their personal dignity and of the
future of their house."

It was stated yesterday in the diplomatic cireles
that Id. GUIZOT, and the other distinguished Or-
leanists who have endeavoured to induce the Prince
DF JOINVILLE to disavow the proceedings of the
persons who hare proposed his candidsteship for the
Presidency of the Republic, have failed in their
efforts, and that they have reason to believe that the
Prince is sanctioned in his refusal to make this dis-
avowal by the whole of the ex.royal family, mid
particularly by her Royal Highness the Duchess of
ORLEANS.

Forty-seven persons were arrested yesterday in
Paris, charged with political offences.

There is very little doing in Public Securities, and
they are flatter owing to the report of a conspiracy at
Paris, for which forty persons were arrested. Consols
have brought 96i to a for Transfer, but have not
been higher than 96* 4 for Account. The New
Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents, have been marked 98i

has rallied to 214. Exchequer-bills are rather heavy

The following has been received from Madrid:—
DELEGATION OF THE ENGLISH CONIIIITTEE OF
SPANISH BONDHOLDERS.
(Translation.)
" Excellent Sir,—l have the satisfaction to acquaint
your Excellency, that at the public meeting which the
Spanish bondholders held in London on the 19th inst.,
the conditions of the law for the settlement of the
debt, lately voted by the Cortes, and sanctioned by her
Majesty, have been accepted, though the creditors always
indulge in the hope that, the state of the Spanish finance
improving, the nation will accord spontaneously the
justice due to her creditors, particularly in the part
relating to the over-due coupons on which the law
has imposed the bard acceptance of giving up
the half of their nominal value, so as in a more
favourable epoch to indemnify the bondholders, whe
now submit to the law. As your Excellency is aware,
by the resolutions adopted in the said meeting, the
bondholders have consented to reimburse the committee
for the outlay incurred in their general interest, in con-
sequence of which I request that your Excellency will
be pleased to give instructions to the Presi4tnt of the
Finance Commission in London, so that he may agree
with the committee respecting the most adequate man-
ner of carrying out that resolution. Your Excellency
has already assured me verbally of agreeing to continue
paying in London and Paris the dividends of the new
debt, which is to be issued in exchange for the old
bonds, which had the right of having their interests
paid abroad; and it only remains for me to express
my intimate conviction and my firm assurance,
that by the medium of the exact and punc-
tual payment of these reduced interests, your
Excellency, and succeeding Governments will endeavour
to elevate the credit of your country to the height from
which it would never have descended without the forget-
fulness of that which every honourable country owes its
creditors, and more especially to creditors who have just
given a new proof of their moderation and of their desire
to second the credit and future prosperity of this noble
nation, which contains so many sources of wealth, which
cannot fail to unfold themselves more and more under
the rule of the august Queen who occupies the throne
of Castile.

" The day I have the happiness to see the credit of
Spain at the height of other nations less powerful,
will be for me the reward of the efforts, both zealous
and conciliatory, which I have made on behalf of the
interests entrusted to my care.
" God preserve your Excellency many years.
" Madrid Aug. 27, 1851.
" The Delegate of the English Committee
of Spanish Bondholders.
(Signed) " DANIEL WEISWEILLER.
"His Excellency
" Senor DON JUAN BRAVO MURILLO,
Minister of Finance and Presi-
of the Council of Ministers."

These returns are again highly encouraging, but the
Share Market, ns usual, is depressed by renewed sales
from the moment of the traffic being known, such is the
system of speculating for an improvement by anticipa-
tion of good receipts.

PHILANTHROPIC SOCIETY. A special general
meeting was held yesterday, at the London Tavern, Bishops-
gate-street Mr. Gladstone in the chair. The report for this
last quarter was highly satisfactory. The number of boys
now in the school at Redhill, Surrey, was eighty-six, out
of which, number five had last week emigrated to New Bruns-
wick, where situations were in readiness for them on their
arrival. The accounts recently received from the late inmates
of the echool, now in the colonies, Were utiafactory.
