THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

We have received the Paris journals of yesterday.
The Moniteur publishes the law by which the
Western Railway to Rennes is conceded to Messrs.
PETO, BETTS, BRASSET, GEACLI, Fox, HENDERSON,
and STOKES.

The PRESIDENT of the Republic, accompanied by
the Minister of War, the Commander-in-Cnief of the
army of Paris, several other general officers, and
Marshal NARVAEZ, on Friday reviewed in the
Champ
de Mars the four regiments of infantry which ar-
rived lately in Paris to replace the four regiments
which had left, having finished their term of garrison
duty in the capital. The weather being fine, there
Was a large assemblage of persons to witness the re-
view. The PRESIDENT was received with loud cries
of " Vive 10 PRESIDENT Vive NAPOLEON !"
In the Assembly, on Thursday, the order of the
day for the discharge of M. MOULIN'S proposition, to
refer to a special committee all petitions relating to the
revision of the Constitution, gave rise to some very
animated scenes, in the course of which M. LACLAU-
DURE denounced the intrigues of the Orleanists, Legi-
timatists, and Bonapartists, and M. EMILE DE GI-
RARDIN declared that the party with which he acted
would even descend into the streets to oppose an il-
legal attempt at revision, and taunted the monarchical
factions with having never had the courage to take up
arms to defend their colours, for which expression he
was called to order by the President.
In the course of an article on this discussion, the
National thus addresses the monarchical advocates of
the revision :

" Now that universal suffrage is no longer entire, now
that the law of May 31 has constituted in republican
France a new legal country, you hope to be well off
with that Constitution which rises between your pre-
tensions and the revolution of February. You wish
that the republicans should play the game of the mo-
narchy with loaded dice. You will not succeed in it.
The sitting of yesterday may serve as a warning to you.
The republicans, we tell you, whatever may be their
date, will march in one line to defend the Republic
against you. You will carry to the tribune the glorifi-
cation of the monarchy, and with M. Savatier-Laroche
we will reckon the millions expended in honour of one
man, the abuses of despotic power, we will relate the re-
ligious persecutions, the shames of the royal alcoves,
aad France will judge you. You will lnait of the
Empire and of its glory, and we shall demand from you
ate aexiunt of the thousands of soldiers which the ata bi •
tion of Bonaparte has c,-)st us; we shall call to your ,e.
membranco tha Cossacks we, entering Paris. You

will speak to us of your last King, dotibly a usurper,
and with a word we shall chant:tense the eighteen years
of his :Edge. The rnvoludou of Febru .ry was the re-
volution of couteay. And when we shall have drawn
out the balance-Nhect of your past, when history, inter-
rogated by us, shall have replied, you will tied us reedy
to defeat your intrigues. Let the revision conceal a
legitimist restoration or an imperial usurpation; let it
act, as was said by M. Laclaudure, to prepare, by a con-
spiracy which dates ftom the 10th December, the un-
constitutional prolongation of the powers'. of M. Louis
Bonaparte, or that Henry V. awaits at the frontier
until -treason shall open to him the gates of the Tui-
leries, it little cancans us! Empire or royalty for
us is the same thing.. Enemies of the Republic attack
it, and we will defend it. The Republican minority will
be sufficient in Parliament to denounce your plots from
the tribune, and to defeat them in the balloting urn.
And if you wish to diaregard- it; if in spite of the pre-
cise terms of Arta HI of the Constitution you appeal to
force; if you violate the contract which unites us, it is
in the street, as M. de Girardin has told you, that we
shall wait for you. Is is in the name of the law that
we shall oppose you, and we shall have with t the whole
nation armed, peasants, workmen, and bourgeoisie, for
our case is theirs. In defending the Republic we shall
defend liberty and equality, those precious gifts which
you wish to tear from us."
There is a split in the Legitimatist camp. M.
NETTEMENT accuses M. BERRTER and his friends of
being engaged in an intrigue to procure the revision
of the Constitution in a Bonapartist sense, and they
will vote against the revision until the questions of
the prolongation of the PRESIDENT'S power shall have
been decided.

nues to increase, an augmentation of 74 millions
having taken place in Paris, and of upwards of 2 mil-

departments remaining nearly as they were. The
account-current of the treasury has increased 2i
millions, the present amount being 108,000,875 t.

crdered to proceed to Rome.
The Boulogne Gazette contains the following im-
portant announcement :
"To the Sous-P' Met of Boulogne-sur-Mer.
" Monsieur to Sons-Prefet—You have already been
invited to take every measure in order that travellers en
their way to England may not be subjected to delay at
their embarking. I have recommended that travellers
arriving at lioulogtie might be allowed to depart for
England on the simple exhibition of their passports. I
now confirm and renew these instructions.; it is therefore
to be well understood that travellers furnished with regular
passports are not compelled to provide themselves with
a special permit of embarkation. This formality, which
should not have been maintained so long, is henceforth
abolished. It is likewise expedient for the future to
exempt travellers of their way to England from having
their passports revised and registered. A simple exami-
nation of these rights of travelling is all that is hence-
forth required without obliging the bearer of the same
to give teem up. The.e formalities occasion groat loss
of time, and may be abolished. I beg of you to see that
the agents and servants of the Administration charged
with the service of embarkation conform strictly to dose
iustructielis.—Receive, Monsieur le Sous-Pricet, the as-
surance of my sincere consideration.
