FRIDAY

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC,

We have received the Paris journals of yesterday.
They contain little of interest.
The question of the revocat:on 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 7ortstittaionnel in oppo-
sition to the Dibats 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. 11. VERON continues his
arguments i❑ favour of the repeal of the Electoral
law, and against the candidcteship of the Prince DE
JOINVILLE. In an article of nearly five columns of
the Conatitutionnel of Thursday he enters upon a re-
view of the claims and chances of the Prince, and
also of the prospects of the Cunt DE CHAMBORD, and
concludes by declaring that if the Electoral law be
repealed LOUIS NAPOLEON oust be re-elected by the
people by an overwhelming majority..
It is thought that the election for a representative
of Paris, in place of Genera MAGNAN, who has re-
signed, will take place at the end of the present
month, or in the beginn.ng of November. The
Prince DE JOINYILLE is confidently spoken of as a
candidate.

The French Government refused to allow Kos-
SUTH and his companions to pass through France on
their way to England. Cotnt BATTEIYANI is the only
one who is allowed to reside in France.

The attempt made by the Turkish Government to
prevent the Pacha of EGYP^ from making a railway
from Alexandria to Cairo hes not met with such una-
nimous sympathy in France as those who have coun-
selled the Porte to take thit step probably expected.
Even the organ of M. Tunas (the Ordre) speaks of
the note addressed by the Turkish Minister to ARRAS
PACBA as an attempt to deprive the successor of
MEEIEMET Au of all independence.
The Union also supports the Egyptian Govern-
ment, and the only papers that have hitherto said
anything in favour o the Turkish note are the
Constitutionnel, the organ cf M. BAROCHE, and the
Debuts, of which M. DE LAVALETTE was long an
editor, and to which he is probably still a con-
tributor.
The Prefect of Polite 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
on his way to Cette, from whence he
atw aMontpellier,
proceed
by
an English steamer to inspect the
fleet commanded by Admiral PARKER, which is now
off Barcelona.

SPAIN.
We have received the Madrid journals of the
27th ult.
The Epoca states that the superior authorities of
Cuba have proposed a plan for fortifying the island.
The works will, it is said, cause an outlay of forty
millions of reels, but half this sum may, in the opinion
of General CONCHA, be found in savings which he
proposes to make in the war department. The plan
of fortifications proposed by General CONCHA has
been submitted to a committee of general officers,
who have reported favourably on it to the Go-
vernment.
The Comercio of Cadiz says that a royal order
has been received there, conceding to an English
company the power to make a railway from Jerez de
la Frontera to Andujar.
The Barcelona journals are full of the reciprocal
visits paid by the authorities there and the English
admiral and commanders. General LA ROCHA was
to give a grand ball on the 22d, to which the English
officers and all the notabilities of Barcelona had been
invited.
The Duke and Duchess of MONTPENSIER had a
levee at their palace at Seville on the 21st, the birth-
day of their eldest daughter.
