[PRICE SD.

The Pays states that the PRESIDENT of the Re-
public has given orders for the sale of most of his
horses, and that two valuable English homes, re•
cently imported, have already been sold. The horses
of the PRESIDENT which were at St. Cloud have been
brought to the stables in the Rue Montaigne.
Tne Assembly, at its rising on Saturday, adjourned
to Thursday, in order to give to the Members an op-
portunity of examining in their bureaux the Bill on
communal and departmental organization.
The PRESIDENT of the Republic has it in contem-
plation to propose to the Assembly a series of mea-
sures for the amelioration of the condition of the la-
bouring classes, which measures, baying been sub-
mitted by him to the Odilon Barrot Ministry in
1849, had been by them rejected as having a tendency
to Socialism.

The French Cabinet has sent in a protest to the
Court of Vienna against the proposed incorporation
of the Italian and Sclavonisn provinces of Austria in
the German Confederation; and the French Govern-
ment has received assurances from the English Ca-
binet that England will remain the firm ally of
France, and will assist her in repelling any aggression
on the part of Austria. An army of observation will
be ordered to the German and Italian frontiers.
The Moniteur announces several changes among
the general officers in command of brigades. General
HEUBILLON has been appointed to the Ist brigade of
the 3d division of the army of Paris; General LE-
TAILLANT to the command of a subdivision at Toulon ;
General MELLINET to that of a brigade of infantry
at Lyons ; and General NOEL to that of a sub-division
at Alencon.

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

We have received the Paris journals of Saturday
and of yesterday.
M. MOCQIJARD) Chef du Cabinet of the P2E!IDENT
of the Republic, has addressed the following letter to
the editor of the Pays :
" —You have just opened a subscription at the
offices of your estimable journal, notwithstanding the
decla.ation of the President of the Republic that he
would accept none. That declaration, nevertheless,
could neither give rise to any doubt, nor any exception.
It is a sacrifice without reservation to the repose of the
country. Under whatever form, therefore the funds
may be collected, whatever destination may be assigned
to them, the President cannot accept them. He charges
me to repeat this in the most formal manner; and whilt•
thanking those persons whose persevering regard would
induce them to cooperate with your personal devoted-
ness, he begs you not to follow up this projected sub-
scription. Accept, Sir, the assurance of my distinguished
and devoted sentiments."
