THURSDAY EVENING, JUNE 20, 1850

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

We have received the Paris journals of yesterday.
If any additional evidence were needed to prove
that the vote of the Hoyse of Lords on Monday was
dictated by foreign Powers, to serve foreign as con-
tradistinguished from English objects, and to force on
a reluctant SOVEREIGN and a reluctant country a new
Ministry, nominated by the Absolutist Powers of
Europe, and bound to betray English to Absolutist
interests en all occasions, it would be found
in the official announcement. of that division
by the French reactionary Ministry in their
official journals. The Patrie has the following :
" THE BRIIISH MINISTRY IN A MINORITY.

" The Government has received the following tele-
graphic dispatch, dated London, this day, 18th Julie,
four o'clock in the morning:—

" THE CHARGE D'AFFAIRES OF FRANCE TO THE MINISTER

OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS.

" The motion of Lord Smalley, relative to the affairs
of Greece, bas just been adopted, after a sitting of
eleven hours' duration, by a majority of 37.
" The mutt surpasses the expectations of the men
the most disposed to believe that the Ministry would
find itself in a minority.'"
The last phrase clearly establishes a solidarite between
the Tory peers and the foreign Cabinets. It would
likewise go far to show that some of the foreign
diplomatic body in this country have established in-
.mithberthede that the same Tory party
Opposition in Parliament.

Minister and the Spanish Opposition at Madrid.
The Orleans journals, the Debars and 0 rdre, exult
in this vote " as the commencement of justice and re-
paration for France," that is to say, as the inaugura-
tion of a system of policy which shall bind England
to aid the Absolutist Sovereigns of the Continent in
a crusade for the restoration of monarchy in France,
as the recommencement of the coalition of 1793, of
which England will pay all cost,
while the Bourbon
family reap all the advantage.
The. Constitutionn,el, the organ of the Elyf6,, is
much more rational than the Bourbonist journals.
It observes merely that Lord PALMERSTON must get
a vote of approbation from the House of Commons, or
retire. The French Ministers take to themselves the
entire credit the success of Lord STANLET'S motion.

The Pcerie has the followirq on the subject of the
Rotation Bill

'6 The report of M. Pitndin will probably be read to
the commit•e3 to-morrow (this day), 1f .any modifica-
tions in it should be considered necessary, the report,
instead of being deposited on Thursday, wilt only he
deposited on Friday, and,. in that case, the discussion
will COME9CIIet3 on Monday. In the not very problble
event of the report of M, Flaudin being adopted to-
morrow by the courimit'et; the discussion will commence
on "Friday."

The same journal slys—
" The five members forming the minority of the com-
mittee have resolvel to cause to be inserted in the report
a statement of the opininos they expiNieied in the coon°
of the deliberation:. One of them, M. Lefebvre Durutle
will state in the tribune the nruives which have induced
them to support to the cud the Government Bid, and
will support the amendment against the resolution of the
majority of nine.
M. EMILE DE GIRARDIN has announced that, in
consequence of his election as representative for the
Bas Rhin, he' has resigned the directorship of La
Presse.

The Assembly on Tuesday rejected the first clause
of the proposition t,f NADAUD, the Socialist repre-
sentative, on the subject of the Association of Work-
men, by a majority of 296 to 208.
The Ordre states that. bathe question of the Presi-
dential dotation, M. DR KERDREL and M. DE DAL-
MATIE, both members of the Committee, intend to
propose that the whole !um demanded shall be voted,
either for the payment of the expenses of installation,
cr for the two years 1849 and 1850: and it adds that
it is very probable that one or other of these propo.
sitions will be voted by the Assembly by way of
compromise.

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti-
mated at nearly 5,009 bales, of which 700 American
were taken for export and 300 on speculation. The
market closed steadily without al eration in prices. The
sales comprised 4,000 American, 15U Egyptian at 711
to 811, SUO Surat at 4id. to sid., and 100 Sea Islands at

The melancholy details of the loss of the steam-ship
Orion, have excited not alone grief, but extreme sur-
prise; the allegation that a dangerous and hidden rock
existed in a place so constantly passed by vessels as
Fortpatrick i 5, and that the locality was, nevertheless.
down in the chaste as "deep water," appearing to justify
the conclusion that gross carelessness exists in some
quarter, and that it is impossible to say how soon we may
hear of like disasters elsewhere; nor can it be otherwise
than a matter for surprise, that the gentleman who states
his knoalsdgo of this rock, acquire.! during his service
as a naval-packet commander, should not have communi-
cated it at once to the Admiralty. There can ba but
one consolatory reflection in this case, viz., that it may
lead to inquiry and to the remedy of the evil com-
plained ot.

The English Funds have teen higher again, bur the
transactions have not been extensive. The questions
which Mr. Roebuck this evening intends to ask concern-
ing the intention of Government, after the vote of the
Lords upon the Greek affair, might have been supposed
to htive hai ra'her a depressing effect upon prices, be-
elute uncertainty is always made avaitOle by specu-

aware that Lord Palmerston stands well in the Com-
