THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

We have received the Paris journals of yesterday.
They all contain long extracts from the English
journals, narra,ing the death of Lours PHILIPPE.
The Republique says, " He carries into the tomb with
him the crowned forehead of the last King of the
French ;" while the Journal des Debats thus com-
ments on the death of that monarch of whose rule
and policy it was certainly the most talented, and, we
believe, the most honest supporter. The Debats
says :
" Melancholy news, too surely foreseen for some time
past, was yesterday received in Paris, where it produced
a general and painful impression. King Louis Philippe
died on Monday, at Claremont, in the 77th year of his
age.. We have a right to here express, without any
reserve, the bitter regret and deep sffiiction which the
death f this last King cf Constitutional France causes
us. We have always honoured, supported, and served
him. His cause, which was that of representative mo-
narchy, was our own; we honoured his person—we de-
fended his policy. But we do not know whether there
exists in France and in Europe an honest party, an
avowable opinion, a man cf feeling who does not, with
us, feel regret at this sad end of a Prince who,
after having secured to his country the most
calm and the most prosperous eighteen ears of its
history, went to die in a foreign land, bef re his time,
it may be said; for his old age was still green and
vigorous; but neither the vigour of his health nor the
strong spirit of his mind were sufficient to bear up
against the ingratitude of his country. Not only has
the life of King Louis Philippe terminated in exile—it
has been shortened by exile. If his heart bad been less
French, the Kiog who saved France in 1830, and whom
France abandoned in 1848—he whom the great alarm
of French society bad raised as a buckler in July, and
whom a caprice of the country overthrew eighteen year.
afterwards—this King, if be had not been an honest
man, public misfortune would have well avenged after
February. Had he been less of a patriot than he was,
he would have triumphed at the ruin, the humiliations,
the disasters, and the disgraces of all kinds, which vio-
lently succeeded his peaceful and honoured reign ! He
would have triumphed at these sanguinary struggles to
which factions, unchained by the tall of his Throne, gave
themselves up over its ruins. But at all these misfor-
tunes, which were like a demonstration, which Provi-
dence, justly severe, wished to give of the wisdom of his
policy, the King only felt the most bitter 11 Effie t ion. The
striking justification which the catastrophe of February
gave him, supported his conscience; it desolated his heart
and shortened his lite. It is this which makes us think
that we shall not be alone in regretting and deploring
the death of the King. His cause was, before his fall,
that of constitutional monarchy; it became after Febru-
ary that of society itself."

'The Assemblie Nationale says—" We have been
informed that the body of Louis PHILIPPE will not
be transported to Dreux. The Princes of the Orleans
family have refused to entrust to any one the duties
which the loss of the head of their family imposes on
them."

The PRESIDENT of the Republic left Metz on the
morning of the 27th ; be was to visit Verdun, sleep at
Chalons-sur-Marne, proceed to Rheims on Wed-
nesday, and return to the Ely.,:ee on Thursday
evening. .
The Afoniteur publishes a circular from the Minis-
ter of the Interior to the Prefects of the Departments
with respect to the business to which the attention of
the Councils- General ought to be directed. He strongly
recommends economy of the departmental funds, and
gives some advice with respect to local taxation. He
makes no allusion to the questio vexata uf the revision
of the Constitution, unless the folloe.ing general re-
commendation with which he closed his circular
should be considered as including it :—" In closing, I
request you once more, Monsieur to Prt f!ct, to second
the views of the Government by the most serious and
the most severe examination of all the projects which
in any degree whatsoever can affect the fortune of the
department."
The Bulletin de Paris contains a notice of the
Nepaulese Ambassador, from which we extract as
follows :

" The Ambassador is accompanied by his two
brothers, and has a suite of 20 persons. He is only,
26 years of age, but he is already a distinguished gene-
ral, and is considered one of the most intelligent men of
his country. He appreciates the diplomatic attentions
that he has received here, tut expresses an earnest de-
sire to see the President of the Republic before his de-
parture, which is at present fixed for the 29th instant.
In his own language be said, When will the Sove-
reign President return ? ' and his interpreter replied
that it would be possible for him to be presented to the
President berore his departure. .He then said, It is
well, fur my nation and myself have a great venera-
tion for the name of the Emperor, whose courage and
exploits we admire.' General Changarnier and his
suite have paid him a visit, as also the Mi-
nister for Foreign Affairs, and he was much flattered
at this mark of attention by the Government.
The Turki,h Ambassador had previously called
upon him. It is difficult, however, to make the Ambas-
sador comprehend that France is a Republic, and cannot
offer him the same splendid fifes as Queen Victoria
when he was in London. Ihe Ambassador and his
suite have expressed a wish to conform as mueh as pos-
,siole in Europe to the religious usages of Ind a, which
rcquire that the Princes should themselves immolate the
animels destined for their food, but they have expeti-
need great obstacles. It has been erroneously stated
in the journals that the animals are slaughtered daily in
the yard of the Hco;;e1 Sleet. It is true that the Prefect
of Police has given permission for this to be done, but
neither Paris nor the bardieue have furnished the kind
of animals fit for immolation according to the prescrip•
Lions of the Indian religion. The AninassaJor asked for
a fat male deer, of from one to three years old, but could
not obtain it. Several females were brought, but these
would not do. As yet neither he nor his suite have
killed any animal. Their mode of living is very sin-
gular. There must be as many rooms as there are per-
sons, for each must eat alone. As yet their only animal
food in Paris has been a little game. Their principal
food is fish and vegetables. On the return of the Presi-
dent of the Republic, he will offer a grand fete to the
Ambassador. if he can postpone his departure."
A letter from Cherbourg of the 25th says : _ _

" The 21 division of the squadron has not-yet arrived.
The maritime authorities are so astonished that they in-
tend sending out to seek it. The Magellan steamer,
which put into port on the 18th for repairs, went out on
the 22d. The following is the list of the vessels hare at
present:—ln the roadstead: 6 ships of the line, the
Friedland, the Hercule, the Jemmappes, the Henry IV.,

and the Coif-Arent; 2 tranaport-corvettes, the Licorre
