FRIDAY

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

We have received the Paris journals of yesterday.
T hey contain little of interest.
The question of the revocation of the Electoral law
of 1850 is the chief subject directly or indirectly
commented on. The democratic Socialist journals
avail themselves easily of the arguments brought
forward for the repeal by the Constitutionnel in oppo-
sition to the DiLats and nearly all the other Conser-
vative journals, which declare that they regard the
maintenance of that law as the best, if not the only
guarantee against anarchy. M. VEaoN continues his
arguments in favour of the repeal of the Electoral
law, and against the candidateship of the Prince DE
.410INVILLE. In an article of nearly five columns of
the Constitutionnel of Thursday be enters upon a re-
view of the claims and chances of the Prince, and
also of the prospects of the Count DE CHAMBORD, and
concludes by declaring that if the Electoral law be
repealed Louis NAPOLEON must be re-elected by the
people by an overwhelming majority.
It is thought that the election for a representative
of Paris, in place of General MAGNAN, who has re-
signed, will take place at the end of the present
month, or in the beginning of November. The
Prince DE JOINVILLE is confidently spoken of as a
candidate.
The French Government refused to allow Kos-
SUM and his companions to pass through France on
their way to England. Count BATTHYANI iS the only
one who is allowed to reside in France.
The attempt made by the Turkish Government to
prevent the Pacha of EGYPT from making a railway
from Alexandria to Cairo has not met with such una-
nimous sympathy in France as those who have coun-
selled the Porte to take that step probably expected.
Even the organ of M. TRIERS (the Ordre) speaks of
the note addressed by the Turkish Minister to ABBAS
PACHA. as an attempt to deprive the successor of
MEHEMET Au of all independence.
The Union also supports the Egyptian Govern-
ment, and the only papers that have hitherto said
anything in favour of the Turkish note are the
Constitutionnel, the organ of M. BAROCHE, and the
Debuts, of
which M. DE LAYALETTE was long an
editor, and to which he is probably still a con-
tributor. _ _

The Prefect of Police has caused to be removed
from the windows of several shops the licentious
prints which were exposed in them, and has com-
menced prosecutions against the exhibitors.
The Messager du Midi says that Admiral DUN-
DAs, one of the Lords of the Admiralty, had arrived
at Montpellier, on his way to Cette, from whence he
was to proceed by an English steamer to inspect the
fleet commanded by Admiral PARKBEL, which is now
off Barcelona.
