THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

We have received the Paris journals of yesterday.
The Assembly on Monday disposed of all the art

des of the budget of expenses, and voted the budge,
as a whole by a majority of 243, the numbers being.
Ayes, 398; Noes, 155.
The Moniteur du SoWpublishes the following an-
nouncement :

" The sub-committco appointed by the committee on
the budget has made its report on the subject of con-
ceding the working of the Paris and Lyons Railway to a
company. The report recommends the concession on
the following conditions: Ninety-nine years' lease;
guarantee of 4 per cent. for 60 years on the capital ex-
pended; the capital fixed at a maximum of 190 millions;
division of the profits with the state over and above 8
per cent.; reimbursement to the state of 65 millions, fif-
teen in cash and fifty in annuities, with interest. The
ab ;ve only relates to the line from Paris to Lyons. The
state to commence immediately the works on the Lyons to
Avignon Railway. The Minister will demand a credit of
18 millions on the estimates of the year 1850, and a simi-
lar credit on the succeeding one, for the works of that
important portion which will join the Ocean to the
Mediterranean. M. Vitet has been named reporter,
and will at the next sitting communicate to the Assem-
bly the reselution of the Committee, which is favourable
to the adoption of the Government Bill. The Assembly
will then decide as to the urgency of the measure,
and whether it will or will not b 3 discussed before the
propagation."
It is announced that General LAMORICIEItE will be
one of the candidates for the Presidency in 1852.
The Minister of the Interior laid on the table of
the Assembly yesterday a Bill for regulating the
National Guards. He did not explain the details of
his measure.
Tae Government has received the following dis-
patch from the French Minister, dated Athens, 18th
instant'—
" Monsieur le Ministre,—l have the honour to in-
_

form you that the convection agreed upon between
the Cabinets of Paris and of London, and destined to
put an end to the differences between Greece and
Great Briatsin, has just been signed in my presence
by the Minister of her Britannic Majesty and the Mi-
nister of Foreign Affairs of iiing Ottio. Immediately
after the signature M. Londos declared to Mr. Wyse
that ho was a.athurised to say that his Hellenic Majesty
would ratify the convention. I will send you by the
nest courier a copy, signed and ratified, of the conven-
tion in question.

(Signed)

THO lIVENEL."

We find the ioli-Owin.g in the Sicle on ih;;;l;ject
of the differences which are said to have existed be-
tween the Minister of War and General CHAN-
GARNIER :—" Toe general subject of conversation in
the lobbies, and on the benches of the majority is a
very remarkable report, which has, it is said, been
drawn up by General PREVAL and presented to the
PRESIDENT of the Republic, at the request of the
latter. M. Louis NAPOLEON BONAPARTE, tired, it
is said, of the interminable differences and perpetual
conflicts which arise between General CHANGARNIER
and the Minister of War, requested General PRE vAL to
submit a report to him in which the respective positions
of the Minister of War and of the Commandant of the
Army of Paris should be clearly defined according to
the laws and regulations of the army, as well as to mi-

litsry traditions. The report of General Pamir, is
said to be a complete treatise on the matter, deve-
loped with all the authority of science and of long
experience. The conclusions, if we may credit the
reports, which have reached tr., are not at all favourable
to the exorbitant pretedsions of General CDANGAR-
MLR, and the PRESIDENT is said to have been
touched at the arguments on which the experienced
author of the report has founded his opinion. We
would not dare to affirm that the communication of
this important document will cause any modification
whatever in the hierachic relations of the Minister of
War and General CLIANGARNIER, but it would be to be
regretted if this important work of General PREVAL
were to remain shut up in the cartons and not to be
made use of to enlighten public opinion on such a
delicate and complicated point."
The Legitimatists are very active in their endea-
vours to procure the restoration of }lemur V., and do
not scruple openly to avow their intentions.
A letter from Toulon, of the 25th, says :—" The
day before yesterday the Grondeur steamer arrived
from Civita Vecchia with dispatches from the com-
manding officer of the French ships in that port for
the Maritime Prefect. The squadron has, as you
know, quitted Naples, and the most conflicting sur-
mises are afloat on the subject. Some persons send
it into the Tagus, others to Tunis, and what gives
some air of probability to the latter supposition is, the
depal-ture of the Chinare for Tunis, with a large
quantity of provisions and stores. The most generally
received opinion is that the French fleet has put to sea
to exercise the crews, half of whom are composed of
newly-raised levies, and that when the exercises are
over it will return to Toulon to revictual, unless any
unforeseen incident should imperiously call for its
presence elsewhere.

Madrid journals of the 25th have arrived.

The Hellldo of Madrid, of the 25th, says that,
during the QUEEN'S Woes., the Queen of ENGLAND
sent frequently to the Spanish Ambassador at Lon-
don to inquire after her MAJESTY. The Gazette
contains a Royal decree ordering that for the future
the supreme tribunal of the army and navy shall con-
sist of six generals and two admirals. A Valentia

chief of Montemolinist bands, had been arrested in that
city, whilst endeavouring to raise a new band. The
