THE FRENCH EEPUBLIC.

We have received the Paris journals of yesterday.
The different parties into which France is divided
are evidently girding themselves for the conflict vihich
it appears must inevitably take place at the meeting
of the Assembly.
In the Pouvoir M. GRANIER DE CASSAGNAC (ex-
writer of all-work to M. Guaaor, but now the obe-
dient, humble servant of the existing " Powers that
be ") declares war irreconcileable against the Legiti-
matists, whom he accuses of having brought about
the revolution of February, 1848, and of having been
engaged for the last twenty years in one continued
conspiracy to render all order and government im-
possible. There can be no doubt of the truth of the
latter accusation. M. GRANIER DE CASSAGNAC,
from his former intimate relations with the
party he now accuses, may perhaps be
in a position to throw some light upon
the causes which led to the outbreak against
the Republic in June, 1848, and to state who were
the real chiefs of that movement, and from what
quarter the funds were supplied. The Legitilnatists
are not one whit less vehement in their denunciations
of the Imperialists, and the Opinion Publique,_ speak-
ing in the name of the Legitimatist party, declares
that the proposition " for the prolongation of the
powers of the PRESIDENT is a ruinous absurdity,
which no one thinks of entertaining," and Cant on
this subject there is no difference of opinion among
the Legitimatists. The Opinion Publique, how ever,
does not tell us whether or no MM. DE INIONTA:LEM
BERT and DE FALLOUX are to be considered
any longer as Legitimatists. In the 'mean-
time, the PRESIDENT is playing his cards
with great tact, and never suffers the
slightest opportunity of acquiring personal ptpu-
larity to escape hire. On Wednesday as ha was
riding, unaccompanied by any escort along the
Champs Elysees, a man followed him holding a '
paper in his hand. The PRESIDENT held out his
hand to receive the petition but missed it, and the
paper fell to the ground. The PRESIDENT at once
drew up, and stopped still until the man banded it to
him. There were numbers of people present who
saw the act, and shouts were raised of " Vive Napo-
leon I" " Vive le President !" which followed him
nearly to the Elysaie. Among the cries were several
of " Vive l'Easpereur I"
The Patrie publishes an article signed byr M.
DELAMARRE, the proprietor of the *nal, pledging
support to any proposition for prolonging the powers
of the PRESIDENT.
The Gazette de France states that Don CARD)3 is
seriously ill at Froshdorff. In the same journal we
find the following :--
" A courier has been dispatched to-day from the
Foreign-office with dispatches to the French ambas so-
der at the Court of Denmark. Like those which were
yesterday sent to our anabassador at St. Petersburgh,
they have for object the Pacificall(4l of Schleswig-11°1-
stein, and to this end they will demand the ratification by
Denmark of the project of a treaty entered into between
France and Russia, a treaty to which M. Fialin de Per-
signy has been charged to obtain the consent of Prussia."
The Moniteur publishes a decree signed by the
PRESIDENT of the Republic, opening the Custom-
house of Bailleul, in the department of the North, for
the importation and exportation of grain and dour.
The _Evenement states that at the meeting of the
Committee of Permanence to be held on Thursday,
and at which M. DUPIN is to preside, some questions
are to be addressed to the Ministers. It says further,
that at a Cabinet Council held at the Elysie on Wed-
nesday it was arranged that M. BAROCIIE, the Mi-
nister of the Interior, should attend the Committee
