The French Republic.
The intelligence received from France by the
steamship United States, which vessel arrived at
this port yesterday, is of much the same character
as that which we received by the British steamer,
day or two since. Everything was quiet-order
had been restored, confidence had returned, COM
merce was reviving, and the consols have lmprov-
ed in price.
Much discussion was going on at Paris in rela-
ton to the new constitution. A portion Of the
National Assembly appear to be in favor of dvid-
ing the Legislature into two branches similar to the
Senate and House of Representatives of the Uni
ted States; but whether they ultimately settle
down upon two or one, is matter, we think, of
little Importance. The National Assembly have
appropriated sum ct money to the Nfonitetv, for
reporting and publishing their proceedings. This,
we think, is good measure, and will be attended
with good results. 1t is similar undertaking to
that Of the Senate of the United States, which
bedy, as our readers are no doubt aware contracts
for the reporting and publication OF all its debates
They have made another movement, however
which we find ourselves compelled TO condemn,
Of the theatres Of the metropolis. This, In our
opinion, was not only injudicous, in view of the
causes which led to the recent insurrection, but
radically wrong and injurious In principle. lf the
theatres are not able to support themselves from
their receipts, why not leave them to get on as
we'll as they could? If there are too many of them
let some of them be closed. If ten could not live,
let five of them be closed by the propretors; and if
those five could not live; let the number be reduced
to two The difficulty would cure itself in short
time, without requiring any tinkering doctoring
by the State. We praised the government for
abolishing the workshops on precisely the same
principle on which we condemn it for giving re-
lief to the theatres and places of amusement, viz:
that government has nothing to do, of right, with
such matters, one way or the other. The regula-
ton of the clubs of Paris Is a measure seemingly
high handed, and would not be tolerated in the
United States for moment. Here man can
Join as many clubs as he pleases, and plot all the
mischief against the government he pleases, with
out subjecting himself to government interference,
unless he commits some overt act that would par
take of treason; but we do not know but that UNI
DIR the circumstances in which the new govern
ment of France is placed, that this movement is
unsuitable.
The news by this arrival from France Is OF
character TO make us long for more, and we may
have 1t IN our power to give another edition of it
to-day or at farhest tomorrow, in az extra He
raid, on the arrival of the Europa steamship
DEMOCRATIC MEErrNGs.-We give, in another
port ofto-day's paper, report of Cass aud Butler
meeting last evening at Vauxhall Garden. We
would like to know why 1t is, that at every meet
ing of this kind which has taken place, for num-
Der of years past, the same orators as those who
appeared last evening, have invariably been the
speakers. Messrs. O'Conor Cutting, Brady,
McKeon, Morris, and Shepherd have, over and
over, given us all the views which they ever pos
sessed on public affairs and are pumped perfectly
dry. Why, therefore, can we not have some new
hands at the bellows-some new ideas-and not
repeutons of the WORKOUT arguments and decla-
nations which have been delivered to rcpletion so
often? Variety the spice of politics, as well as of
anything else. Give us new orators IN mercy
some new hands at the political bellows
ANOTHER LETTER FROM Mr.. VAN BuREN-We
give in this days paper, letter written by Mar
tin Van Buren,, to the Executive Committee of the
Industrial Congress, recently held in Philadelphia
II is an acceptance of the nomination made by the
Utica Convention, and as such is of some interest
to the politicians.
DISTINGUISHED ARRIVAL IN NEW YoRK.-Among
the passengers of the steamer United States, we
observed the name of Major Poussin, ambassador
of France to Washington, who comes here to take
the situation lately occupied by M. Pageot. M.
Poussin is accompanied by his lady and his son,
and M. Marie, son to Marie, member of the late
provisional government of France, who is with
him IN the capacity of Secretary of Legation. In
company with these distinguished passengers ia
M. Outrage, ape. consul, a,tach6 to the consulate
OF France in New York.
THE CRoToN WATER.-The health Of the city at
this season of the year involves the interests of
every member in the community, and the condi-
ton of the streets and cutters demands the especial
attention of the proper officers The Croton
ter, of which we have so abundant supply, Is
used with niggard economy that is by no means
necessary; and the consequence may prove IN
furious to the public health unless proper atten-
ton is paid to the matter. The dirt and filth de-
nnetfpd i'm the putterS in Greenwich. Chatham.
