PROPOSED WINTER EXHIBITION OF ART.—Several
friends 'of art and artists, without any personal motive so
far as we can learn, have organised a winter exhibition of
drawings and oil sketches by our best artist., under novel
arrangements. All the drawings (about 300 in number)
are to be of one' of two fixed sizes, and will be mounted
and framed, all alike by the projectors. Means of effecting
sales of works bona Ale the proper y of the artist will bp
provided without charge. The gallery of the old Water
Colour Society, Pall-mall; East, has been fitted up for the
purpose, and will be opened in a few days. The result pro-
mises to be as interesting as the motive is praiseworthy.—

An iron lighthouse, of vast dimensions, is about to
be erected on the Fastnett, a solitary rock, several miles out

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

We have received the Paris journals of yesterday.
Galignanis Messenger gives the following account
of the review of Thursday at &tory:—
" The principal stand set apart for the friends of tie
President of the Republic was occupied by the Marquis
and Marchioness of Normanby, the Duchess° d'lstf in,
Comtesse de la Ferronnays, Madame de Beaumont,
Madame Schickler, Comte de Moltke, Ambassador of
Denma; k ; Comtesse de Moltke, Marquis de Fitz-James,
M. de Caumont-Laferee, M. Carlier, prefect of police;
M. Arrighi de Padoue, prefect of the department, &c.
Several members of the Permanent Committee of the
National Assembly were also present, and among them
were specially noticed M. Jules de Lasteyrio and M.
Lt-) de Laborde.

The President of the Republic hfc the Elysee at
half-past eight o'clock in the morning, by post. He was
accompanied by the Minister of War, by General
Roguet, his aide de•camp; and by Colonel Ney, Com-
mandant Fleury, and Captain MeneTal, his officers
d'ordonuance. The President wore as usual the uniform
of a general of the National Guard, with the grand cor-
don of the Legion of Honour.

" The President arrived at Venailles at half past ten.

" Accompanying the President we noticed the Mar-
quis of Douelas, M. Horace Vernet, General Excel-
mans, four English officers of Lancers (their brilliant
uniforms excited universal admiration), a Prussian
officer in uniform, and the Prince of Capua iu a Neapo-
litan general's uniform. There were also several gene-
rals of the French army, and a vast number of officers
of different grades. The variety of uniforms around
the President presented a striking coup
" When the President of the Republic arrived, the
troops (many of whom had passed the previous night in
encampments near the Plaine) were drawn up in lines.
They consisted of 48 squadrons of cavalry, in two divi-
sions—ore under the orders of General Forte, assisted
by Generals Waldener and Grouchy—the other com-
manded by General Prevost, assisted by Generals Re--
bell and Julien. There were also nine battalions of le-
fantry and three batteries of artillery, under the orders
of General Neumayer, assisted by Generals Cornemuse
and Cavaignac.
" The President of the Republic began the day's bu-
siness by passing along the lines to review the troops.
This occupied about an hour. At this moment the ca-
valry, drawn up in two immense lines, presented a
brilliant spectacle. Several manoeuvres then took place,
the most important of which were, first, the forming
of the first hue into columns, and its falling back to
enable the second line to advance ; next, the lancers
and hussars charging en tirailleurs—a Sine sight ;
thirdly, a charge executed by the heavy cavalry. This
last manoeuvre was really grandiose : a line, of nearly
a mile in length, of the finest cavalry regiments in the
service came thundering along the plain, sword in hand,
and, like a torrent, seemed prepared to sweep away
everything opposed to them. The sun shone forth at
the moment, gilding with its rays helmet, sword, and
cuirass. An electric; effect was producsd on the spec-
tators, and they clapped their hands and shouted with
delight. Never, indeed, were the • pride, pomp, and
circumstance of glorious war,' more magnificently dis-
played.
" The cavalry, having taken up their former position,
dismounted, and the infantry and artillery then marched
up the plain; their bayonets glittering in the sun, and
their steady march, made them literally resemble
r'omeloeviantgthweairlihs eoatd followed b
b,
ristlingsteye-l'General Changarnier
his staff. The President
of the Republic, with the Minister of War by his side,
rook up his station in front of the stands. On passing
him, General Changarnier made a profound salutation,
by raising and then dropping his sword; and the Presi-
dent replied by moving his bat. The General then placed
himself opposite the President, and the troops filed off.
The hand of each regiment played as it came up, and
remained playing until the whole regiment had passed.
" As great public interest is at present manifested to
know the sentiments of the army towards the President
of the Republic, we carefully noted the cries of each
regiment as it filed off before him. The following is a
literal copy of our notes:—Four companies of engineers
—no cry; a battalion of chasseurs de Vincennes—no
cry; a battery of artillery—no cry; a regiment of care-
bineers—an enthusiastic shout Viva l'Empereur!'
—the soldiers vi avieg their swords, and one squadron
repeating the cry twice or thrice; second regiment of
carabineers, hearty cries of • Viva l'Empereur l' mixed
with some Vise Napoleon!' the soldiers brandish-
ing their swords; a regiment a cuirassiers—predomi-
nating cry ' Vive l'Empereur!' a battery t f artillery—
no cry; a regiment of cuirassiers—no cry; a
regiment of dragoons hearty shouts of • Vive
Napoleon!' and some of Viva I'Empereur!' an-
other regiment of dragoons—'Vive l'Empereurl' end
• Vive Napoleon!' but not very hearty; a regiment of
lancers--' Vivo Napoleon!' another regiment of lancers
—• Viva Napoleon!' Vive l'Empereur!' a regiment of
chasseurs—' Vive Napoleon;' but not very enthusiastic;
a battery of artillery—' Viva Napoleon!' Vivo l'Em-
pereur!' (these cries excited greet surprise, as the ar-
tillery bad the reputation of never shouting); regiment
of chasseurs—' Vive Napoleon!' Viva l'Empereur!'
regiment of hussars (green)—no cry—ditto (white)
Vive Napoleon!' but not very hearty.
" The filing off was very fine. The waving of swords
and lances by the cavalry regiinents, as they greeted the
President, made the scene picturesque and exciting in
the extreme.

" The review ended, the President of the Republic,
General Changarnier, and their numerous staffs, pro-
ceeded to a reserve part of the Plaine to partake of re-
freshment. All the, officers and sub-officers who were
present at the review were invited to a collation, con-
sisting of champagne and cold provisions, placed on the
ground in baskets for parties of twelve. Cigars were
also distributed.

" General Changarnier left before the President. The
President, before taking his departure, rode along the
ranks of his guests, who ihterrupted h :ir repast to greet
him with enthusiastic shouts. The spectators who bad
assembled to witness his arrival at and departure from
the simple feast also hailed him with the heartiest accla-
mations of Vive Napoleon! "The peasants, we noticed,
were extraordinarily enthusiastic.

" On his return tiirough the town, alsn, the President
was received with intense enthusiasm. He left for Paris
in his own carriage.

" Taken altogether, the military display of yesterday
was a grand affair indeed. It must have been highly
gratifying to Pririce Louis Napoleon, by the enthusiasm
it elicited for him personally, both from the troops and
the people ; it was highly creditable to the army, by its
perfect discipline and high efficiency ; and it was most
pleasing to the immense mass of spectators—to the
foreign portion of them as a magnificent show—to the
native as a just subject of patriotic pride."
From the other journals we learn that General
CHANGARNIER, who, it will be seen, left before the
PRESIDENT, seemed greatly vexed as he rode away,
and that as he returned he was received by both
troops and people either in solemn silence or with
shouts of " Vive l'Empereur !" There were no
cries of " Vive le General Char.garnier," which are
usual on such occasions. Notwithstanding the re-
monstrances of the Committee of Permanence, the re-
freshments were distributed as usual, by order of the
PRESIDENT, and the troops raised the cry of " Vive
Napoleon ! Vive l'Empereur !" It was a very sig-
nificant expression of contempt fur the Bourbonist
faction, as represented by M. DurrN, on the part of
the PRESIDENT, and shows that he is much stronger
prudence would scarcely have ventured on
titan the Bourbonists imagine ; for a man of his con-
summateso bold a defiance had he not been tolerably certain of
his strength.
The Committee of Permanence met yesterday, N.
DEPIN in the chair.
General n'ax °Trani, the Minister of War, was in
attendance, and was subjected to a rigid examination,
in the course of which M. Duro" severely blamed
the cry of " Vive l'Empereur !" which had been raised
by some of the troops, and declared that it
was the opinion of the Committee that it
might have been prevented had the Minister
of War adopted the recomtnendations of the Com-
mittee, and issued an order forbidding the troops to
utter any cries. He added, that he could assure the
Government it was not by such means they could
arrive at the empire.

SPAIN.
The Heraldo of the sth states it
.has reason to
know that the report of differences having arisen be-
tween the British Ambassador, Lord Howden, and
the French Embassy at Madrid, is utterly without
foundation. It adds that the relations between the
two embassies were never more friendly. The same
journal states that a revolt has broken out in several
,towns in Morocco, in consequence of a decree by the
Emperor, ordering the skins of all slaughtered animals
to be considered as his exclusive property. 'Tee
Paella of Fez has it is said fled, and at Tetuan the
people had taken 'possession 'of the gates of the place.
The Queen of Spain held a grand levee on the 4th in
honour of the anniversary of the birth of the King,
and in the evening the city was illuminated.
