THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

We have received the Paris journals of yesterday.
The Honiteur says—" The service of the electric
telegraph placed at the disposal of the public, since
the Ist March last, has already produced results
which will allow the importance of this new mode
of correspondence, and the extension which it may
ultimately receive, to be judged of. The number of
dispatches transmitted during the month of March,
amounted to 301, giving a receipt of 3,031 f. The
receipts in the first fortnight did nut exceed
300 f. With the view of facilitating commu •
nications with foreign countries, the adminis-
tration has just entered into arrangements with
Belgium, which will enable it, from the 20th
instant, to receive dispatches to transmit direct to
the following places : Brussels, Mechlin, An-
twerp, Liege, Ghent, Verviers, and Ostend, and from
the same period dispatches may be received direct from
the same places. It is necessary to remind the public
that dispatches for the private telegraph are only re-
ceived at the offices of the administration, 103, Rue
de Grenelle St. Germain."

We read in the Patrie :—" The telegraphic office
in the Rue Laffitte, on Tuesday, communicated to
the journals of Paris a dispatch, announcing that the
entrance of Austria with all her foreign possessions
into the German confederation was a fait accompli,
and that this decision had been notified to the Go-
vernments of France and England. Yesterday morn-
ing the same office gave a dispatch, announcing that
the French Ambassador at Vienna had just received
from our Government an order to regard the protest
announced in its last note as null and void. From
the information which we have received, we are able
to affirm that the news given in these dispatches are
completely incorrect."
The Messager says—
"A Council of Ministers was held this day at the
Elyi 61,, at which the President of the Republic presided.
Couriers bad arrived during the previous night with
important dispatches from Vienna, and the council was
occupied with deliberating on the serious question of the
entrance of Austria with all her states into the Ger-
manic Confederation. After an animated discussion, it
was decided that the French Government should renew
its protests on the subject, but without departing from
the moderate policy which it had adopted in concert with
England."
It would appear that there is a split among the Le-
gitimatists, and that a portion of them, headed by M.
DE FALLOUX, Will give the PRESIDENT their support,
notwithstanding the opposition of M. BERRYER.
The Duke DE LEVIS, the confidential adviser, has
just arrived in Paris, and in announcing his arrival
the Patrie says—
" It is reported that the Duke de Levis brings with
him unequivocal proofs cf the assent of the Count do
Chambord to any arrangement which the safety of the
country may render inevitable. He precedes M. de Fal-
loux, who, after quitting Venice, went to Turin, and
was to rejoin his family at Nice oa his way to Paris.
There can be no doubt as to the object of the journey of
the ex-Minister, or that the results will be satisfactory to
the true friends of the country."
It is said that M. LEON FAUCHER counts upon the
De Falloux section of the Legitimatists for the ne-
cessary majority to secure the revision of the Consti-
tution.
