THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

We have received the Paris journals of yesterday.
The agony of rage into which the commemoration
of the sth November has thrown the organs of the
parti-pretre, the vindicators of the massacres of St.
Bartholomew, and the restorers of the Inquisition, is
most amusing. As the " swell mobsman" in a crowd
raises a cry of " Stop thief" in order the better under
its cover to carry on his thievish practices, so does the
Univers speak of " the disgraceful outrages" of Lon-
don (e. g. dressing up a jackass in a Cardinal's bat) as
horrible persecution, whilst at the same time it calls
upon all the Catholic nations of Europe to arm " to
extirpate Protestantism by force of arms." The pious
Constitutionnel, in whose columns originally appeared
" The Wandering Jew," that merciless exposé of '
Jesuitism, is greatly scandalised at the ridicule cast
upon the PoPE and bis myrmidons, and the Journal
des Debats, in its horror of everything like a popular
manifestation, expresses its surprise that the manifes-
tations of the sth did not end in the plundering the
Bank and the burning of Buckingham Palace, and
almost expresses its regret that some such catas-
trophe did not terminate the Anti-Popish Manifes-
tation.
The National has the following on the preponder-
ance given to Russia by the occurrence of recent
events in Germany :

" M. Radowitz has tendered his resignation, and the
King of Prussia bee accepted it. With that Minister
disappear the last hopes, we would say the last illusions
of the Constitutional Monarchical party. Frederick
William had assumed the character of Constitutional
King, which flattered his vanity and his ambition, and
he had supported it up to the day when ho feared that
he might have to draw the sword. At the moment on
which a conflict arpeared imminent, the heir and the
representative of the Great Frederick suddenly thought
that the Bavarian troops entering 'Dwell was an
irresistible commentary for the counsels received
from Warsaw. At the present time there is
no longer a Prussian policy. For all those
who only take account of governments and the official
world, it may be said that Libzralism has drawn its last
breath in Germany. Let but a Tory Ministry replace
the Whigs in England; let Siccardi fall in his courageous
and desperate struggle against clerical influence, and the
Holy Alliance will be reconstituted. In the meantime
Russia is at our gates. The voluntary humiliation of
Prussia opens before her all the roads of Europe as far
as the Rhine. She is more powerful with the hence-
forth secure obedience of Prussia and Austria than she
would be with an army on our frontiers. In 1848, at
the moment when the Revolution of February broko
out, she stood motionless in that fever of liberty which
from Paris extended itself to Germany and to Austria.
Prussia was engaged in the movement, Austria fell
under the war of Italy, under the revolution of Vienna,
and the heroic efforts of Hungary. Sheltered in
his empire, the Czar waited until the agonies of
Austria should give him the signal to resume his pee-
licy; it is no longer Constantinople, it is Paris which
is at the end of the policy of Nicholas. When the Ca-
-1 binct of Vienna called on him, he entered the lists, he
pounced on Hungary with his army as on a prey. He
saved Austria, but he did so for his own talvantege.
She at the same blow recovered a portion of her empire,
and found a muster. The preponderance which the
war at Hungary secured to the Emperor over the policy
of Vienna, he owe' in Berlin to the weakness and
to the pusillanimity of Frederick William. We do
not fear fur France this reconstitution, apparently
so solid, of monarchical Europe and of abso-
solute power. We should not even fear a Euro-
pean army leagued against us in the name of absolutism,
and marching under the sword of the Czar ; we should
not fear it if the French Republic remembered that
it represents the democratic principles to the world.
In that war, at once national and humane, we should
have all Courts for enemies, and all people for allies.
France has still to take her revenge for two invasions,
or rather it would not be the revenge of France, but
of democracy and of humanity. When our armies
crossed the Rhine after Napoleon, they carried into
Europe the domination cf a mar. When the kings
came on us in 1813, their hatred of expelled monarchs
was covered and nerved by the resentment for violated
territories. But let the day come when French de-
mocracy, definitively enfranchised, shall remember its
mission and its destiny; and our colours, appealed to by
all those who now learn to adore liberty by submitting
to despotism, will perhaps reappear on the plains of
Germany, not longer as a symbol of conquest, but
as the glorious sign of the emancipation and of the fra-
ternity of peoples."
By a decree of the PRESIDENT of the Republic,
founded on a report of the Minister of Marine, it has
been decided that the maps and plans for the navy
shall not in future be kept merely in Paris, but
shall be distributed amongst such places as they may
be of most utility to in the service.
The Moniteur de l' Armee announces that Generals
de Brigade LE ROCHECHOUART, D'Y DE RESIGNY,
PICOT, PONCELET, and SASS VAN are to be placed on
the retired list.
The Journal de Rennes says—" We are informed
from a good source that General DR REGNY, com-
manding at Brest, has been appointed ad interim to
the command of the military division of Rennes, in
the room of General NEUMAYER."

fought with swords, and the former being wounded
in the knee was removed from the ground.
An incendiary fire took place in the night of the

large farmhouses and the buildings adjoining, con-
taining a large quantity of firming stock, were totally

SPAIN.

Madrid journals of the 2d instant have arrived.
There is no truth in the reports that were current
that the Portuguese Government had solicited the
good offices of Spain in its differences with England.
Some expectation was entertained that the ex-
Queen of the FRENCH would visit the Duke and
Duchess of MONTPENSIER at Seville.

death, rtMinister
of Prussia,
place on that morning at
twenty-four
past eight o'clock. He was the
1 ,
natural son of the late King of PRUSSIA. Count
BERN STOREY, the Prussian Ambassador at Vienna,
had been summoned to Berlin. It was believed he
would be offered the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, but
nothing had yet been fixed.
The lndependance of Brussels says—" The fears
of conflict became fainter and fainter in Germany.
The Prussians and the Bavarians, it is true, make a
sort of steeplechase so see who shall first oc-
cupy such a point of the Electorate ; but
this shows that on both parts there is a
determination to cede the place to the first oc-
cupier, and that each one will
taken, without attempting to dislodge his antago-
nist from got. And then—an
those he may have preserve the positions
agreement will be come to. However, the ELECTOR
of Hesse,
if only from amour propre, would have
rather seen his capital occupied by Austrians and
Bavarians than by the Prussians. He has, accord-
ingly, protested against the entrance of the latter into
Cassel and Fulda, and has sent orders to his Envoy
at the Court of Berlin to leave that city. All that,
however, our Frankfort correspondent says, is not
very dangerous ; and our correspondent, we believe,
is right. In the meantime the judicial authorities of
the Electorate do not allow themselves to be intimi-
dated by the foreign occupation. In spite of the
state of siege and of the presence of the Bavarian
troops, the tribunal of Hanau has declared ille-
gal the decree for levying the stamp tax, which was
issued by the Federal Commissioner, Count DE REICH,.

ITALY.
The Opinio;:e of Turin of the 3d states that the
commission for the erection of the monument in com-
memoration of the passing of the Siccardi law,
abolishing ecclesiastical privileges in Piedmont, has
received from Verona the value of 1,169 shares, of
which 125 had been taken by priests,. and even by pre-
lates. The list of subscribers contains persons of all
ranks and professions, as well as of both sexes.
The rumour of the arrival of a Papal bull of ex-
communication at Turin, levelled at all who took part
in enacting or executing the Siccardi law, has been
revived, bat it has not obtained much credence since
the appearance of its contradiction in the Resorgi-
merit° and other journals.
