THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

We have received the Paris journals of yesterday.
The accounts of the reception of the PRESIDENT on
his arrival in Paris are contradictory ; we subjoin
two ; the first is from the officially recognised organ
of the Elys6e, the Constitutionnel, the other from the
Republique :
The Constitutionnel gives the following account of
the reception of the President of the Republic on his
return to Paris :—" Louis Napoleon returned to Paris
last evening. He left Epernay at a quarter past six, and
at a quarter past eight was at the station of the Stras-
burg Railway. The Minister of the Interior, the Mini-
ster of Justice, the Minister of Public Instruction, and
General Changarnier waited for him at the station from
seven o'clock. General Changarnier and the Ministers
warmly embraced the President when he alighted from
the carriage. Some detachments of infantry were
placed at the corners of the streets which lead
to the station to prevent the crowd from invading it.
When the President appeared on the square the troops
uttered energetically the cry of 'Vive Napoleon !' iu
which the greater part of the population took part.
Along the Boulevards from seven o'clock in the
evening unusual agitation and a constantly increasing
crowd were observed. Although the circulation of
vehicles was not interrupted, a mass of curious
stood in the roadway. The arrival of the Prince
was announced in advance. The crowd was very
considerable. The demagogues took some measures
to trouble the reception which awaited Louis Napo-
leon on his return from his journey. On some points,
and especially before the Passage Jouffroy, hostile
groups were carefully stationed. From these groups
were heard all the declamations which are familiar to
the democratic. socialists. In the ranks of the
veritable population the conversation,•on the con-
trary, was on the excellent effect of the ex-
cursion in the departments, which was repre •
seated to be devoted to the doctrines of disorder,
on the firmness, the presence of mind, the good sense,
and the patriotism which had inspired the acts and
words of the chief of the state. The cortege of the
President rapidly descended the Boulevards. His
carriage was preceded by a piquet of chasseurs a
cheval, surrounded by cerabiniers, and fol-
lowed by half a squadron of hussars. On the
-passage of the Prince, the cries of ' Vive Napo-
leon!" Vive le President !' did not cease to be
uttered. It is needless to say that the demagogic
groups did their best to cause to be heard the cry
which, since the departure of the Prince, has become
the mot d'ordre of socialist monarchy. In despite of
their efforts, however, acclamations continued on all
the line of the Beulevard. At a quarter past nine
o'clock, Louis Napoleon arrived at the Elysee. Not-
withstaecling the fatigues of this long journey, his
health 'is perfectly good."—The Republique gives
the following :—" The rumour of the arrival of M.
Lcuis Napoleon Bonaparte at Paris attracted last
evening an unaccustomed crowd of promenaders
on the Boulevards, amongst whom at each step
were officiers-de pair and sergens. de-ville. Corn-
pact groups occupied the entrance of the Rues
Hauteville and the Faubourg Puissoniere, the cortege
having to come from the Strasburg Railway station.
The Society of the Dix Decembre tool its measures
well; for more than an hour before the arrival of the
President its members filled the Rue Chabrol, and
uttered unconstitutional cries. Lost trouble, h::-N-
-ever I At half-past eight, as soon as the first. dra-
goons of the escort appeared, M. earlier, Prefect of
Police, on horseback et their head, an immense cry of
"Viva la Re.publique"was heard on the Boulevard, and
went from distance to distance in formidable echoes.
Some men who had climbed to the top of cabs cried
" Viva linpolLn 1" but this cry was immediately
covered by a democratic acclamation which lasted
for more r then a quarter of an hour. And let the
journals of the Elys6e not say that last evening the
men who uttered enthusiastic shouts for the Republic
were plid—the crowd was too numerous, the cries too
unanimous. At the doors of the public establishments
and the principal cafés, there was not an habitu6 who
did not shout ' Vive la Republique.' "
The meetings of the Councils- General of the depart-
ments are looked forward to with great interest. The
Bonapartists have been making strenuous endeavours
to induce them to pass resolutions for a revision of the
Constitution, and for a prolongation of the powers of
the PRESIDENT. The Legitimatists will, it is said,
join with the Republicans of all shades in opposing
such propositions, and in several of the Councils
lively debates have taken place on the subject. The
Council-General of Aube agreed to a resolution pray-
ing for a revision of the Constitution, without alluding
to the PRESIDENT ; that of the Pyrenees Orientales
expressed a wish for the prolongation of the Presi-
dency for ten years. The Councils-General, how-
ever, can scarcely be considered as the representatives
of popular opinions. They resemble, in their consti-
tution, the Irish grand juries, and are, moreover, ex-
pressly forbidden by law to take part in political
discussions.
Several arrests have been made of persons charged
with uttering seditious cries.
The PRESIDENT leaves Paris for Cherbourg on
Monday; he proceeds by railway to Havre, where a
steamer will be in waiting to convey him to Cher-
bourg. It is said that a change of Ministry is immi-
nent, and that the new Ministry will be composed of
men of the DUFAURE party.
The Prince DE JOINVILLE has, it is said, signified
his willingness to become a candidate for the office of
PRESIDENT of the Republic in 1852.

that the journey of Prince Schwartzenberg to Ischl
is in connexion with the arrival at Lintz of the Count
Nesselrode, and with the final settlement of the Ger-
man question.
The following decree of the Grand Duke of Meck-
lenburg-Schwerin has just appeared:—
Whereas the arbitral decision concerning the legal
validity of the constitution promulgated on the loth of
October lr.st year will be shortly given, but as under

ceed to the elections prescribed by our ordonnance of Ist
July last, we order as follows:-1. The elections fixed
for the 26th inst., t) form a new Chamber of Deputies,
shill Lot take place. 2. A decision will be her( after
come to on this subject after the arbitral decision 611411
have been pronounced."
The Allg,enzeine Zeitung publishes the following
from Munich of the 25th :

" The arrival of his M:ljesty, King Otho, from Greece
at Tfic:ste yesterday was receivc.d here by telegraphic
dispatch last night. Ile was to continue his journey by

The Cologne Gazette, of the 29±, gives the follow-
ing from Hesse C issel, of tile 26th :
•' To-day the Minister of Finances, M. Lametsch,
opened the Assembly of the States. In his opening
speech the Minister said the finances had not recovered
from the distressed state in which they wore when the

DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES.
A telegraphic dispatch from Hamburgh in the
Kohler Zeitung states that in the evening of the 26th
inst. five Danish vesseis approached the Holstein
coast near Noer, arid that they effected a landing at
Griioewold. The garrison of Kiel was sent out to
drive them b ick to their ships.
General WiLusEN, the Commander-in-Chief of
the Schleswig-Holstein army, has published the fol-
lowing notice:—

" Rendsburg, Aug. 20.
" It has occurred that the former notice of the general
commanding relative to the admission of foreign (that
is, non-Schleswig-Holstein) officers in the army has
been frequently misinterpreted. Tho General com-
manding, therefore, cinnot omit to repeat that net all
those who may be, or who have been, officers can be
i.drat:ed, but only those who are young, active, and
provided with good papers, and who have not been too
long out of service, and whose resignation has been vo-
luntary. Infantry officers et German contingent?, to
whom the above may be applicable, may still find em-
ployment in the Schleswig-Holstein army according to
shale seniority. (Signed)
" THE GENERAL COMMANDING."

respre!able men demand in their favour, is that they
shall remain together in 01:19 COrpsit 41c1 elect their own

officers. Major Klaproth, who appears to be an officer of
the proper metal—a chip of the old block—will probably
remain c,,maiquder of this free corps, which, however,
will be fir superior to the orditary freeb3oter genus.
After a prairatory conversation with the chief of the
recruiting,-office here, mho course could not give any
definitive reply, .Major Klaproth procce.led this morning
to Rendsburg to n(getiate with General Wiliiaen. Should
the matter hi, rcgaircd to be referred to the Stadtholder-
rat_e,! the Major will await the decision at Itamblrgh."
