THE INTERIOR.

" The PRESIDENT of the Republic departed from
Lons-le-Saulnier, at half past 10 yesterday morning,
and arrived at Besangon at half-past seven in the
evening. As in the previous places through which
he has travelled, so also during this day'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 affection.
"In order to celebrate the PRESIDENT'S appearance
amongst them, the town of Besangon has given two
public balls—the one in the Tow n• hall,
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 had assembled. He afterwards
went to the ball held in the theatre, and tock 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 join 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 DR JOINVILLE as a
candidate for the Presidency in 1852. The Bulletin
de Paris thus speaks of the candidature of the Prince
DE JOIN VILLE :

" We spoke yesterday of a letter addressed by the
Prince de Joinville to a man of note belonging to the
moderate party, ar.d we said that we guaranteed the ex-
actitude of our information. We say so again. This
letter, in our opinibn, has a great importance in the
present circumstances, the Prince saying -textually that
there are in his opinion no longer but two regimes
post•ible in France, the hereditary and legitimate mo-
narchy or a republic, but not a princely republic; and
adding, what is still stranger, coming from a son of Louis
Philippe, that it cannot any more be question of the mo-
narchy of expedients which we had curing the reign of
his father, 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 amLitious 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, besides,
certain influential members of the Orleanist party have
put forward the name of the Prince de Joinville as that
of a man abl-, in certain eventualities, to counterbalance
another name. As to and it is also the opinion of
the most important personages of the Conservative opi-
nion, we think that if such is the thought of the Prince
de Joinville (and his letter, unfortunately, leaves no
doubt on the point), he yields not only to an imprudent
opinion, but commits a bad action. The party of order
bas no need of a new representative. They who repre-
sent it ere, on the contrary, only too numerous. And
if, in addition to the Bonapartist, Legit'matist, and Or-
leanist parties, we have that of the Prince de Joinville,
it is the Reds that wilt triumph in 1852."
