We have received the Paris journals of Saturday
and yesterday.

of the PRESIDENT of the Republ:c, has formed a com-

We read in the Moniteur :—" General HARISPE,
commandant of the 11th military division, has, on
account of his great age and weak health, requested
to be replaced in this important command. It is with
deep regret that the Government is forced to lose the
services of General lIARisPE, who, in his long and
honourable career, has so well merited the thanks of
the country, and acquired so many titles to the
esteem of his fellow-citizens. The PRESIDENT of the
Republic has appointed to the command of the 11th
division General Jomr, who previously commanded a
division of infantry of the army of the Alps. Gene-
ral HARISPE, having held a command in chief; is kept
on the general staff, and will have the pay of a general
en disponibilite."
The debate on the Paris and Avignon Railway
Bill occupied the whole of the sitting of the Assembly
on Saturday, and was again adjourned.
In the sitting of Friday General LAHITTE, the
Minister of Foreign Affairs, gave the most distinct
assurances that there was not the remotest possibility
of any occurrence taking place which would lead to a
disturbance of the peace of Europe, and the Napoleon
of yesterday reiterates that assurance. After alluding
to the warlike rumours which had been in circulation
during the preceding week, the Napoleon says—
" Let people tranquillize themselves. The mission of
France at this day is not to make war; its mission is to
prevent war—at first by wise counsel and judicious ad.
vice, by a benevolent intervention between governments
and the people ; and secondly, if necessary, by measures
of precaution, which, instead of being any motive for
alarm, are, in reality, so many guarantees of peace."
Several persons were convicted on Saturday of having
opposed the cutting dawn of the trees of liberty on
the 4th of February, and were sentenced to various
terms of imprisonment.
M. BEERTER'S report on the budget has been
printed, and was distributed to the members of the
National Assembly on Saturday.
The Patrie says—
" M. Romieu, Extraordinary Commissary of the Go-
vernment in the department of the Oise, went on the
25th ult. to Carlsruhe, where he had an interview cf the
Grand Duke. He obtained a point which bai been
hitherto attended with sJine difficulty—viz., that of
having a number of German refugees, whose presence
near the banks of the Rhine had.eaused some uneasiness,
sent into the interior."

A letter from Cherbourg, of the 28th ult., states
that 300 seamen had arrived there from Brest, to
complete the crews of the corvette La Prevoyante,
and the steam-boats Le Flambart, Le Milan, and Le
Colbert.

Fifry-femur of the insurgents of June, confined in
the fort of Hommet, had been pardoned by the Pas-
SIDENT of the Republic. Twenty-seven of them left
for Paris on Wednesday last, and the remainder were
to follow on Thursday.
A revolt took place on the 27th ult. amongst the
military prisoners at the Fort Mont St. Michel. The
troops succeeded in disarming them.
