THE SUN, LONDON,

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

We have received the Paris journals cf yesterday.
The Moniteur publishes the following telegraphic
dispatch

"Be:arc m, Aug. 19, r M.
" The review of tte National Guard of the troops of
the line, in the Champ de Mars, was magnificent. The
President passed through the city on horseback, and
was received with enthusiasm. The windows were
crowded with women throwing bouquets. The President
has quitted Beeat eon to continue hisjourtey."
The Bulletin des Lois announces the arrival of the
PRESIDENT at Colmar. Notwithstanding the official
announcement that the PRESIDENT was received at
Besaneion with enthusiasm, it is rumoured in Paris
that lijesane;on was the scene of a violent erneute,in the
course of which the PRESIDENT and his staff
were expelled from a ball-room, and which
was only quelled by the bayonet. On the
19th, in the evening, the PRESIDENT went to a
ball in the Place de la Ilalle, at which, says the offi-
cial account, he only staid for an instant. His sud-
den &Torture was occasioned by the irruption into
the ball room of a crowd of 'workmen, who raised
deafening cries of " Vive la Republique," and on
whose appearance the President and his friends re-
tired. Left in possession of the room, the workmen
destroyed all the eagles and other imperial emblems
with which the room had been decorated, and it was
found necessary at last to clear the room at the point
of the bayonet, and afterwards to charge with a de-
tachment of cavalry on those assembled ou'side.
Tne fact of the short stay of the President at the
ball in the Town-hall, on account of its being inconve-
niently crowded, is stated in the following official
dispatch:—

"BESANCON, Auo. 19, ONE P. M.
" THE MINISTER GF PUBLIC WORKS TO THE MI/sISTER C?

THE INTERIOR.

" The PRESIDENT of the Republic departed from
Lons-k-Saulnier, at half past 10 yesterday morning,
and arrived at Beeanc in at half-past seven in the
evening. As in the previous places through which
he has travelled, so also during this da)'s journey,
he found in every place the municipal authorities, the
clergy, the National Guards, and great crowds of
the people, each and all of whom loudly testified
their devotion to the PRESIDENT, and received
him with the most lively demonstrations of affect)on.
"111 order to celebrate the PRESIDENT'S appearance
amongst them, the town of Besancon has given two
public balls—the one in the Town•ball,
other in the theatre—at both of which all classes
thronged in great multitudes.
"At the Mayor's request the PRESIDENT most will-
ingly consented to favour the assemblies with his
presence at both places; but at the Town-hall the
place was so inconveniently crowded, that he could
only remain but a very short time, and merely passed
through those who bad assembled. He afterwards
went to the ball held in the theatre, and took part in
the proceedings, where he was greeted with the
greatest enthusiasm."

- The reactionary party is now completely broken
up into sections; which hate each other even more
cordially than they hate the Republic. The Legiti-
matists have determined to oppose any attempt to pro-
cure the prolongation of the President's powers, and M.
BERRYER has consented to juin in this opposition. The
Count of CHAMBORD has publicly declared 'that no
reconciliation has taken place between himself and the
Orleans' family, and the partizans of the latter have
determined to start the Prince DE JOINVILLE as a
candidate for the Presidency in. 1852. The Bulletin
de Puri.; thus speaks of the candidature of the Prince
DE Jol2i VILLE :
We spoke yesterday of a letter addressed by the
Prince de Joinville to a- man of note belonging to the
moderate party, nod we said that we guaranteed the ex•
actitude of our information. We say so again. This
letter, in our opinion, has a great importance in the
present circumstances, the Prince saying textually that
there are in his opinion no longer but two regimes
possible in France, the hereditary and legitimate mo-
narchy or a republic, but nut a princely republic; and
adding, what is still stranger, coming from a son of Louis
Philippe, that it cannot any more be question ot the mo-
narchy of expedients which we had ouring the reign of
his fault r. It may be boldly conjectured that we have a
pretender the more. Whatever may be the adroitness of
form disp'ayed in the Prince's letter, and that
adroitness is incontestable, it is easy to divine
the amt itious thoughts which it seeks to cloak ; and an
arrangement between the branches of the house of
Bourbon ought less to be looked for than a new candi-
date for the Presidentship in 1852. Already, besiees,
certain influential membera of the Orleanist party have
put forward the name uf the Prince de Joinville as tLat
of a man abl-, in certain'eventualitiew. to counterbalance
another name. As to u 3, and it is also the opinion of
the moat important personages of the Conservative opi-
nion, we think that if such is the thought of the Prince
de Joinville (end his letter, unfortunately, leaves no
doubt on the point), he yields not only to an imprudent
opinion, but commits a bad action. Tre party of order
has no need of a new representative. They who repre-
bent it are, on the contrary, only too numerous. And
it, in addition to the Bonapartist, Legifmstist, and Or•
leanist parties, we have that cf the Pritee de Joinville,
it is the Reds that will triumph in 1852."
