THE FRENCH REPUBLIC

We have received the Paris journals of yesterday.
On Monday M. JULES DE LASTEYRIE presented
the report of the Committee to which was referred
the proposition of M. Vrcrox LEFRANC for an amend-
ment of the Electoral Law of the 31st May. The
Committee recommend the rejection of the proposi-
tion. The report states that the law of the 31st May
has disfranchised upwards of three millions of voters.
The report was ordered to be printed and circulated
previous to the debate.
The mail train to Calais was blown off the line on
Sunday night by the violence of the storm. A col-
lision with an up-train was the consequence, and
several persons sere seriously injured.
On Monday a religious service was celebrated in
the chapel of the Invalides, in commemoration of the
10th anniversary of the bringing of the remains of
the Emperor NAPOLEON` to France. The centre of
the chapel was filled with old soldiers of the Imperial
army, and with servants of the family. Invalids,
bearing their lances, formed a line from the altar to
the principal gate, and along this the Marshal.
Governor JEROME BONAPARTE passed, preceded by
the clergy, and accompanied by Generals PETIT and.
GOURGAUD, and a numerous staff. He was re-
ceived on entering the chapel by the beating of
drums and the music of the band of the fifth Regi-
ment. Several Representatives of the People, among
others M. AEMATUCCI, M. NAPOLEON DARU, &c.,
and M. JERoME BONAPARTE, occupied the choir, and
the galleries were filled with ladies, nearly all of
whom wore deep mourning. When the ceremony
was concluded the clergy conducted the Marsbsl to
the chapel of Saint Joseph, in which the remains of
the EMPEROR are provisionally deposited. Here
some prayers were said, and many of the old soldiers
present wept. The Marshal afterwards passed the
Invalids in review ; also a number of old Imperial
soldiers, who had assembled in their old uniforms.
The Marshal distributed some crosses of the Legion
of Honour, and he was greeted with shouts of " Vive
le nom de Napoleon I vive l'Empereur
The Bourse opened dull, but after some time
it became more animated, and Government stock
closed more firm.

to 95f. 15c., at which they closed : the Three per
Cents. closed at 57f. 30c.

The Chambers did not meet on— the 11th. On that
day a sort of panic prevailed in the Stock Exchange
among the holders of shares in the Bank of San Fer-

was said, resolved to suppress in the budget of the
Minister of the Interior the 14,000,000 reals it has
hitherto allowed that establisbment ; the fall was
from 64 to 53 reals per share. The directors of the
bank intended to make energetic remonstrances
against the proposed measure.
