THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

We have received the Paris journals of yesterday.
The Assemblie Nationale has a long and bitter
attack upon M. TIMM!, which, from the style, we
judge to have been dictated by M. GUIZOT, and
which concludes with categorically demanding
whether M. TRIERS has, or has not, recommended
the candidateship of the Prince DE JOINNILLE, and
whether he does, or does not, approve of it.
The Union, the representative of the BERRYER and
DE FALLoux section of the Legitimatists, is inclined
to support the candidateship of General Casricaa-
Num, provided he will vote against the repeal of the
law banishing the Bourbons, a repeal by which the
Orleans family alone would profit.
The Siecle says—
" The position of General Changarnier is becoming
more and more interesting and embarrassed. He is
the candidate of the Opinion Publipm, and it is pro-
bable that he will be the candidate of the Union.
But General Changarnier, whose adroitness consisted
three years back in giving hopes to all the royal
fractions, must soon pronounce for some one of
them. The Orleanists say to him, You are with us,
since you voted last year for the proposition Creton.'
The Opinion Publique replies to that, ' We cannot say
if General Changarnier voted the recsl of the younger
branch, but when it comes on again he will not do so.'
:Lie will, therefore, contradict himself,' says the Mes-
sagerd er
Assembee. But the General never says a
word. If the fusion was not dead, there would be one
means left to him to get out of the scrape—namely, to
declare himself fusionist. How convenient was that
party, which allowed a man to have one leg here, an-
other there—to be white and blue, Orleanist and Legi-
timist; and how the General ought to execrate at pre-
sent the act of decease which the Marquis de Jouffroy
drew up of it!"
The Ordre, the organ of M. THIERS and ODI.
LON BARROT, expresses astonishment at the conduct
of the French Government towards Kossurn, whose
only crime, it says, was to have defended the na-
tionality of his country with a rare energy. The
Jesuit Univers is, of course, in ecstacies at the con-
duct of the Government towards KOSSUTH. He is
guilty of two crimes, either of which, in the opinion
of the Univers, is worthy of death—he is a patriot and
a Protestant.
In the letter of Lord LONDONDERRY to the
Morning Post, relative to ADD-EL-KADEE, he ob-
served that he had been aided in his efforts by a noble
personage of Paris. The Paine, which is opposed to
the liberation of the ex-Emir, in noticing this observa-
tion, asked Lord LONDONDERRY if he was sure that

the noble personage of whom he had spoken was a
Frenchman. This question has produced the follow-
ing letter from Count D'ORSAY, addressed to the
editor of the Patric. :

" Sir,—Your curiosity shall be satisfied. I am the
person who so warmly interested myself for the prisoner
of Amboise. I have always considered that his cap-
tivity was a stigma on France, and my only fear has
been that the Emir, being in ill health, might die
before we had wiped it away from us. At the
time of the accession of M. Louis Napoleon
to the Presidency of the Republic my first idea was
to request from him the release of Abd•el-Kader.
Ile felt with me that ' the honour of France was
engaged in it,' and, lamented to find in his Cabinet
of that time the same opposition that ho meets with
at present. Lord Londonderry, Sir, is sure that lam a
Frenchman; he has seen me at work for nineteen years
in England seeking to oblige my countrymen; and, it is
precisely because lam a good Frenchman that I blush
at seeing national honour sacrificed to puerile considera-
tions. France has loudly exclaimed against England
for keeping the Emperor Napoleon captive at Saint
Helena, and yet she dares to detain Abd ol•Kader a
prisoner of war, forgetting that Napoleon was kept a
prisoner by the whole of Europe, and that the ex-Emir
is detained by France alone, to whom he surrendered
himself relying on her honour::
