THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

We have received the Paris journals of yesterday.
The Co General of the Departments continue
to express themselves as favourable to a reviAon of
the Constitution ; bur one only, that of the Pyrete!s
Orienteles, has demanded the prolongation of the
Presidency of Louis NAPOLEON. The C,..uheil Ge-
nerol of Avignon refused, by a nivjArity of 18 to 8,
to entertain the proposition for a revision of the Con-
stitution.

The Courrier Francais, the organ of the Bur-
graves, hay declared in favour of the 'monarchical pre-
tensions of the Count of CHAMIVIRD.

The Society of the 10th December is making
great eflats to secure for LOUIS NAPOLEON a
favourable reception at Cherbourg, as there can be
no doubt of his great unpopularity in the navy. The
Prince DE JOINVILLE is the idol of the sailors as a
man, and the Republic is their idol as an in.
stitution. After February, 1848, M. FRANCOIS
ARAGo, Republican Minister of Marine, gained
immense popularity among the sailors by in-
creasing the quantity and improving the quality
Of the provisions served out to them ; but when
LOUIS NAPOLEON was elected President, one of the
first acts of his administration was to revert to the old
system of short commons for the sailors, and bad of the
sort. He will, therefore, it is feated, be received at
Cherbourir with cries of " Vive le Prince de Join-
ville ;" " Vive Francois Arago ;" and " Vive lu Us-
publique !" but surely with no cry of " Vive le
President !" or " Vive Napoleon !" save for a con-
sideration, and the society are doing their best to get
up a N tooleon demonstration at ten sous a head.
The Moniteur publishes a decree of the P&CSIDENT
of the Republic, di=ciaridg the Professorship of Mati.e-
matics in the Colleges of France, held by M. LIBEI,
to be vacant, in consequence of his absence, and that
the amount of salary due to M. Linn' is to be re-
turned to the Treasury.
. .

A second decree declares that the seat in the
AcAdetny of Science (section of geometry), hitherto
occupied by M. LIBRI, is vacant, in consequence
of hiA having quitted France on the 28th of Febru-
ary, 1848.
A letter from Cherbourg, of the 30th ult., states
that a steamer from Jersey, with 150 passengers, had
been subjected to very rigid search, in consequence
of a rumour that some (f the French political refu-
gees were on board. The passengers, who did not
know the motive of the rigour, were astonished at this
apparent want of courtesy after the kind reception
given by the people of Jersey to the different excur-
sionists from France.

M. GEOFFREY ST. HILAIRE has been appointed
Professor of Natural History at the Sorbonne.

GE RMAN Y.

The Cologne Gazette publishes the following from
Vienna, of the date of the 26th
" A tem days since a dispatch arrived from Rome, in
which the intervention of Austria was requested in the
Sardinian affairs. A similar ratite, it is said, bas gone to
Fr aT,ce. Spain as well as Naples have been quite over-
looked, although in the documents the Papal Council de-
clare their aqachment to all the Catholic Powers. The
differences of the Papal See with the Court of Madrid,
on account of the Papal dispensation for the marriage of
Count de Nlontemoliri, accounts fur the one; and a fresh
quarrel with Naples, for the other. The refusal of Car-
ainal Sforzs, confessor of King Ferdinand, to grant him
absolution from his constitutional oath, is said to have
originated in Rome."

Immediately after the receipt of the intelligence
C.unt NEssaLaopc, the Russian Councillor of State,
demanded an audience of the EMPEROR.

Prince SCIIWARTZEISBERG went to Salzburg on
Saturday night to receive the Russian diplomatist,
and introduce him to his MAJESTY. It is this fact,
which has hitherto been kept a profound mystery,
that has retarded the return of the EMPEROR for se-
veral days. This conference, which is said to be of
he highest importance, will take place at I-chl.
Count .MEDEM sets off for Lintz to-morrow morning,
to receive the Chancellor.

General PROTT, the llanoverian Minister of War,
has sent in his resignation.

The Carlsruhe Gazette, of the 31st August, pub-
lishes the first part of a note addressed by the Baden
Government to the Austrian Government, in reply
to the latter's dispatch of the 21st July, relative to
the passage of the Baden troops by the fortress of
Mayence. The Baden Government declares that it
considers it is perfectly justified in what it has done,
by the approval of the federal superior authority,
which alone was competent to decide in the matter.
Nevertheless it will not decline to submit to the de-
cision of any future competent federal authority
which may be established. The convention of the
28th gives it full liberty in this respect, but till then
it will strongly repel the reproach of having failed
in its federal duties.

King OTHO arrived at Trieste on the 24th ult.
