THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

We have received the Paris journals of3esterday.
But little progress was made on Tuesday in the
Assembly by the Bill relating to the transportation of
the insurgents of June to Algeria. When the ex- I
citement had in some degree subsided, in conse-
quence of the angry altercation between M. JuLEs
PAYEE and M. LEON FAUCHER respecting the propor-
tion of blame attaching to the re-actionists and to the
Provisional Government, the first article, as proposed
by the Committee, was taken into consideration, and
uitimately adopted. Previously, however, an amend
ment by M. DENAYROUSE, to the following effect,
" The prisoners who were not arrested at the moment
of the promulgation of the decree of the 27th of June,
1848, shall be, if there be motive for it, sent before
the legal tribunals," was put from the chair, and re-
jected by a majority of 358 to 244. At a quarter-
past six o'clock the discussion was formally ad-
journed.

- It is said that the PRESIDENT of the Republic has
received a very flattering letter from the Emperor of
Russ's—a favour which Louis PHILIPPE was never
able to obtain—a report which seems to be corrobo-
rated by the appearance of the following most re-
markable "communicated" note in the Patrie :
" After the revolution of 1830 al ukase was issued
prohibiting the granting cf passport} to Russians for
France. Tf e prohibition was renewed after the revolu-
tion of 1848. It has just been removed by order of the
Emperor."

Yesterday morning, in consequence of a violent
altercation in the Assembly during the discussion
which took place on Tuesday on the Deportation Bill,
a meeting took place in the Bois de Boulogne be-
tween M. DE COISLIN, the youngest member in the
House, a Legitimatist, and M. TESTELIN, a member
of the Mountain. It appears that the im-
mediate reason for their meeting as belligerents
was the circumstance of the former having
plumply told the latter that he was a liar. The
weapon was the broad sword. The affair lasted only
a quarter of an hour, when it was found that M. DE
Commis had received a severe wound in the head.
They were immediately removed from the ground,
M. TBSTELIN being unhurt.
A letter from Valence of the 20th inst. states that
several fanatical Socialists have been arrested in the
department of the Drome whilst selling political
tracts without a license.

Accounts from Toulon of the 19th inst. announce
that several transports had been dispatched from that
port with provisions for the French fleet at Omlac.
A grand ball is to be given by M. DUPIN on the
26th, at the Palace Bourbon. M. Dorm is literally
besieged with demands for invitations. All the re-
presentatives, even those of the Mountain, wish to be
invited. M. DUPIN has limited the number to 1,800,
and is said to have exclaimed, " I am quite willing
that my ball should be democratic, but 1 do not wish
it to be social."

SPAIN.

Madrid journals of the 17th instant have been
received.

During the discussion of the Congress on the pre-
ceding day, the amendment of M. MARON was re-
jected by a majority of 147 to 83.
The Minister of Finance opposed it in an eloquent
speech. On the 17th, the Chamber was occupied in
discussing another amendment to the Bill, brought
forward by M. Corr. A, for effecting a reduction of
50,000,000 reels in the land-tax. It would, it was
believed, be rejected. When the Minister of Finance
was speaking on the 16th, a man in one of the public
tribunes cried in a solemn voice—" This Assembly
is a disgrace to the Spanish Monarchy !" This na-
turally created great sensation, and the man was im-
mediately arrested. He was recognised as a poor
madman who has the pretension of overthrowing the
Government.

The Pais says that General LERSUNDI, who had
just arrived in Madrid, was the bearer of propositions
cf the Pontifical Government, relative to the forma-
tion of a Spanish legion, to hold garrison at Rome.
