panic was thus produced by the loss of 9,000,0001.
sterling, paid for food fur the starving
people of Ireland. The misery and suffering,
the want of employment and destitution,
the general depreciation in the value of every descrip-
tion of property, was occasioned by the exportation
of 9,000,0001., and yet we are actually placing a
larger sum at the disposal of NICHOLAS—of the im-
perial despot—the mortal enemy of Great Britain,
to be taken away at any moment he pleases. He
first borrows 5,500,0001, and when that sum is paid
up, and ready for transfer, he may sell his 4,600,000/.;
and although Consols may go down to 80, he
will not have made a bad bargain, when
he has neutralised the British force and pa-
ralyzed the right arm of England. What will
then avail the capitalists who are reduced. to the
verge of bankruptcy and ruin by a panic in the
money market, that they gained a nominal
profit of one or two per cent. on the Russian
loan when every other description of property in
their possession is depreciated to the extent
of 20 or 30 per cent. by the exportation of
precious metals to the extent of TEN MILLIONS or
POUNDS STERLING ? Then, indeed, they will deplore
their fatuity and short-sightedness, and execrate the
day when they were tempted to defile themselves by
meddling with the accursed thing.

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

We have received the Paris journals of yesterday.
The Socialists have announced a banquet fur the
21st January, the anniversary of the execution of
Louis XVI.

The Moderate Republicans intend having a banquet
and have adopted as its pro-
grammeo n the 22the
February,programme
of the banquet of 22d Fe-
bruary, 1848, over which M. ODILON BARROT was
to
.have presided, and for interdicting which MM.
Onmor. and LEON FAUCHER presented an act of
impeachment against MM. GUIZOT and DUCHATEL.
Colonel CHARRAS, a member of the Assembly, and
Minister of War under the Provisional Government,
has undertaken to organize the February banquet.
The debate on the Education Bill was resumed on
Thursday by M. DE MONTALEMBERT, whose speech
in favour of the Bill is acknowledged to have been a
failure even by his friends. The Constitutionnel admits
that he was not as eloquent as usual, and that he did
not command as much attention as be generally does.
The debate was then adjourned.
At Beaucaire the Legitimatists have been acting as
though the palmy days of TRESTAILLON had returned.
They held a grand banquet on the festival of the
Kings, at which they toasted the health and restore
tion of lieranY V., exhibited the bust of the God-
given eldest son of the Dachesse DE BERRI, with a
crown on his head, sang seditious songs, and announced
their intention of having a procession a la Roden.
The people outside were much excited, and threatened
to take vengeance on the Legitimatists; whereupon
M. ESTELLE, a respectable inhabitant of the place,
accompanied by a few friends, waited on the Legiti-
matists to urge them, for the sake of the public
peace, to abstain from thus exciting the anger of the
people. They immediately fell upon M. ESTELLE
and his friends, and stabbed them in several places,
and M. ESTELLE, who was unarmed, lies at present
in a very dangerous state. The people immediately
burst into the hotel, expelled the Legitimatists, and
destroyed the bust of the pretender.
A. most audacious attempt to rob the Bank of
France was made on Thursday afternoon, about 1
o'clock. A number of individuals, some dressed as
labourers and others having the appearance of gentle-
men, entered the cash-office, and made a rush at the
piles of gold and silver. Quickly as the attack was
made, an alarm was raised, and the guard arrived.
Three of the robbers were arrested and conveyed to
the Prefecture of Police.

The Moniteur publishes a decree, signed by the
PRESIDENT of the Republic, appointing a Board of
Admiralty, to be composed of Vice-Admirals HUGON,
DE LASU3SB7 CASY ; M. FAUYEAU, Director of Naval
Construction ; and M. BONIFACIO7 Commissary.
General of the Marine.
