THE FRENCH REPUBLIC,

We have received the Paris journals of yesterday.
The Journal des Debats says that the slight uneasi-
ness which had manifested itself in the neighbourhood
of the Column of the Bastille, had completely disap-
peared, and that during the whole of Wednesday the
greatest tranquillity prevailed throughout the whole
of that quarter of the city, as well as in every other
part of the capital.
The tiloniteur contains the following official con-
tradiction of the rumours of war, which have, during
the course of the last few days, been extensively cir-
culated in Paris. The official journal says :
r
The t o
Government da r e
has received this day dispatches from Russia, e c
" The alarming reports which it has been endeavoured
to put in circulation fur the last two days have to-day
thatacquired
they a mroar e
devoid
foundation.
We are
Prussia,
and Austria, and they enable us to affirm that the
therefore,
peace of Europe was never more secure. The news of
the entry into Switzerland of French, Prussian, and
completely unfounded.
is,
cannoton its guard against the
TAhuest privabnlic armies
be
toomuch
propagation of false news, evidently invented with a
view to the approaching elections."
It would appear, however, by the following ex-
tract from the Constitutionnel, that the relations be-
tween Prussia and Switzerland are not of that amica-
ble character which the friends of peace could desire,
and we think it is clear from the tenor of the article,
that should Prussia attempt to make good her claim
to Neufchatel by force, France will interfere in defence
of Switzerland. The Constitutienrze/ says :--
" A certain number of political refugees in Switzer-
land disturbed by their intrigues the neighbouring states,
which demanded their removal. Switzerland, recognis-
ing these well-founded fears, had already expelled the
greatest number of these refugees, and continues, so far
as lies in her power, to give satisfaction. Austria has
been the first to do justice.to the loyal ardour with which
this measure has been executed and is yet executing.
But it would appear that Prussia is not guided by the
sole interest of neighbouring states. She wants to take
advantage of the circumstance to revive her ancient pre-
tensions over the principality of Neufchatel. Not satis-
fiedwith the almost complete solution of the precise
point touched by the general question, she would raise a
second altogether of a personal character. This tendency
having become manifest by signs sufficiently significant,
France, interested and resolved alike to protect the inte-
grity of Switzerland, has taken the precaution to rein-
force considerably the garrisons of the east."
The semi-official Patric contains the -following an-
nouncement:—
"Russia completely unites herself to France on the
Greek question. The Rusj.an ambassador in London,
M. do Brunnow, has received from his Government orders
to act in accord with the French ambassador in the nego-
tiation to which our mediation has given rise."
N. Duconx, who was.the Prefect of Police under
General CATAIGNAC, is the republican candidate for
the representation of the department of Haute Vienne.
The members of the Mountain have issued a long
address to the people, which occupies two columns of
the National, on the subject of the elections. In the
course of this address we find'the following definition
of Socialism :
" The idea which triumphed at the barricades of Fe-
bruary is Socialism, that is to say—the emancipation of
the masses by labour, labour raised to the level cf pro-
perty, which it engenders' and legitamises, the general
comfort being assured by an equitable remuneration of
labour, and the abolition" of usury.'
N. VICTOR HENNEQUIN, the editor of the Demo-
cratic. PaeJlque, has been sentenced to twelve months
imprisonment and a fine of 5,000 f. for the publication
of an article reflecting on the PRESIDENT of the Re-
public.
The Grand Duchess of BADBF, the aunt of the
PRESIDENT, has arrived at the Elysee.
DuPIN is recovering.

Notwithstanding that our, market to-day was very
moderately supplied with Beasts, the time of year con-
sidered, the demand for that description of stock ruled
heavy, at barely Monday's decline in the quotations.
Scarcely any prime Scots were on offer, and the top,
price of Beef was 3s 8d per 81bs. The numbers of Sheep
were less than those exhibited on this day se'nnight ;
nevertheless, the Mutton trade was in a very inactive
state, at a fall in the currencies of 2d per Blbs. The
primest old Downs, in the Wool, sold with difficulty at
4s 2d to 4s 4d per 81bs. Shorn Downs produced 34 6d
to 3s 8d per Bibs. There were about 50 Dorset Lambs
in the market, in good condition. Calves—the supply
of which was small—moved off slowly, at about bta-
tionary prioes. Id Pigs„ scarcely any business was
transacted. Milch Cows moved off slowly, at froni 141
to 181 each, including their small Calf.
