THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

We have received the Paris journals of yesterday.
The Journal des Debats fu.s a I,veribut sopi‘isticul
article from the pen of M. ST. M taC GIRARDIN on
the Wiesbaden circular, in which the wii y Orieani-t
seeks to cij2le the Legitimatists after the manner
folio jog. He says—
" We do ia.t pretend to be able to convert the Legiti-
matists to our doctrines, or to obtain from them a solemn
disavowal of them. We prefer, in order to show that
between them and us the difference is not so great as
they thought and said, to point to the effect produced on
them by the circular of Wiesbaden. That document
had not perhaps any other evil than to enunciate a little
too crudely the old doctrine of the Legitimatist party.
That which was only a thing said over again, has ap-
peared to the Legitimatists themselves to be a paradox
and a challenge thrown down to the spirit of the age; so
much are they of their time without knowing it, without
wishing it; and so much the better, for that is a part of
their force. They feel what we feel—they think what
we think. Only they have other affections, which
caused them to imagine that they had other opinions.
They had even a little neglected to inspect their old doc-
trines, not doubting that they would recognise them
when they saw them. It is almost the contrary which
has occurred to several amongst them, and as they had
themselves changed, they believed at first that it was
their doctrines that had changed—a very natural error,
but which ought to serve as experience. Political prin-
ciples are not made to shut up in museums, but to exist
in society in the midst of its customs and its ideas, to set
them right, at the same time to acquiesce in them, by
a mixture of perseverance and justice uf mind."
M. FREDERICK BASTIAT, representative of the
people, who for his exertions in the cause of free trade
may be called the COBDEN of France, died last week
at Nice.
The Bulletin de Paris states that M. LUCIEN MURAT
has left for Turin, charged by the PRESIDENT of the
Republic to use his efforts to arrange the difference
between Piedmont and the Court of Rome.

The review which bad been fixed for Tuesday at
Versailles has been postponed to the following day,
on account of the uncertainty of the weather.
The D Aats publishes a letter from Ostend, of the
29th September, which says :—" The Queen of the
BELGIANS is still in a state of suffering, which forces
her to the most absolute repose. Her august mother,
Queen AMILIE, is expected at Ostend on the Bth
October, together with the Duke DE NEMOURS, who,
it is said, will remain till the 15th."

The Assemblie Nationale was seized yesterday for
the publication of an article stating that M. DE PER-
SIGNY had gone to London to endeavour to raise a
loan for the PRESIDENT of the Republic, who had
already spent the three millions granted to him by the
Legislative Assembly.

GERMAN Y.

The Prussian Staats Anzeiger of the 29th ult.
publishes three dispatches from the Prussian Go-
vernment to Baron THIELE, the KING'S Ambassador
at the Court of Hessen, and to the Hessian Go-
vernment at Wilhelmsbad. Two of these dis-
patches, which bear the date of the 12th and
21st tilt., are signed by Count BRANDENBURG,
but the third is dated the 26th uit., and
bears the signature of Baron RADOWITZ, the new
Secretary for Foreign Affairs. The first two dis-
patches express the regret of the Prussian Govern-
ment that the ELECTOR should have been induced to
resort to measures which are foreign to the Consti-
tution of his country, and advise him with all pos-
sible speed to return to the path of legality and
justice. They protest that his appeal to the Frank-
fort Council can only add to the difficulties of his
position ; that Prussia cannot recognize the compe-
tency of that Council to dispose of and to decide in
the afft.irs of Germany ; that Prussia protests against
any measures that may be resorted to by the mem-
bers of that Council in their fictitious capacity of a
" Diet," and that his Majesty the King of PRUSSIA
reserves to himself the liberty of " making any fur-
ther decision which may be required by the duty he
owes to Germany in general and to his own country
in particular."
The dispatch which Baron RADOWITZ has ad-
dressed to the Hessian Government, refers to and
recapitulates the warnings which are contained in
the above-mentioned documents, by protesting against
any inferences that may be drawn from the resolution
of the Frankfort Council in the Hessian question.
The Cassel Gazette, the official organ of the E'ector
of lIESSE, which is at present published at Wilhelms-
bad, states, in its number of the 28th ult , that it
not true that the Hessian Cabinet has received any
communication from that of Prussia, declaring the
resistance of the people legal, and the proceedings of
the Cabinet unconstitutional.
Tne German Journal of Frankfort states, from
Cassel of the 28th ult., that M. lIASSENPFLUG, Mi-
nister of Finance of Electoral Hesse, had given orders
to the Treasury to pay 44,000 thalers to the Minister
of War, and to the railway, to provide an express
train for the conveyance of a battalion of troops to
Giessen. A committee had been formed for provid-
ing for the payment of the salaries of public func-
tionaries in the event of their not being paid by the
State.

As a specimen of the manner in which information
is manufactured at Vienna, we give the following
amusing paragraph from the Austrian Correspondent
of the 26th ult. :—" The Austrian refugee, FRANIC,
who was employed in the brewery of Messrs. BAR-
CLAY and PERKINS, has been dismissed, for
having excited the workmen to commit a violent
assault on General IlayNau. Mr. PERKINS has
been twice interrogated by a member of the
Cabinet. The English Liberals, who are naturally
partisans of the working brewers, pretend that they
cannot be prosecuted, either for felony or misdemean-
our, because General HAYNAU does not prosecute.
But they forget that under certain circumstances,
when the question is one of offence towards a friendly
power, and of reciprocity, an order of the Privy
Council may condemn to transportation for life, and
that Lord PALMERSTON may take that measure
without engaging his responsibility before the Perlis.

DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES.
The Kolner Zeilung has a telegraphic dispatch from
Hamburgh, of the 30th ult., stating that a general
movement has taken place along the Schleswig-Hol-
stein lines, that the troops advanced against
the Danes, and that an engagement ensued, in the
course of which the fortified city of Friedrich.
stadt was bombarded on the morning of the 29th.
The city of Tonningen was carried and occu-
pied by the Holsteiners, after an engagement which
lasted two hours. A party of Danish prisoners was
brought to Lunden. A skirmish is said to have taken
place at Breckendorf.
At ten o'clock on the morning of the 30th, Frede-
rickstadt was still in possession of the Danes, but the
bombardment continued. The Holsteiners captured
217 prisoners in Tonningen.
