PaosPEoTs OF THE FnRNoH RkpUBLIc.-A CORE
spondent of the New York Commercial Advertiser
writes, under date of Paris, December 10:
"That the tide is now setting more strongly than
ever in favor of the republic is evident from the in
creasing anguor of the monarchica parties and the
evident change in the tone of reaction papers. lie
Consfitutionnel seems to have abandoned its old ma
MIA for imperial and dctatorial solutions, and now
cries lustily-Lct US habiuate ourselves to the
public The Legitimst party, too, is attempting
to show signs of life more; this it does by aban
doning entirely the high ground of divine right it
assumed last summer, and readopting its double
dealing course Of reaction and democracy. One of
its members has taken the lead of the opposition in
presenting bill for the fret step in revision of the
late electoral law.
"Another sign of the times is the complete failure
Of NJ Mole's attempt to organize reunion of rep
resentatvee in favor Of the fusion of the two
branches Of the Bourbons. This idea had not life
enough in il to secure more than one meeting, and
that broke up in disorder. Among the people the
most profound tranquility reigns. Business is
tive. the places Of amusement are thronged, and
the newspapers contain nothing of interest. These
good results may be attributed to the remuneration
Of illegal and violent designs by President Bona

RioTs.-We learn that during the progress of
the firemen's procession yesterday there seve-
raj little outbreaks of feeling and disorder, pro
duccd by persons not in the line, which, however.
were subdued without serious results But late in
the afternoon a number of the members Of differ
ent fire companies of this city came in conflict
with each other, the Centre market, and a
fight ensued that lasted more than an hour, and in
which it is likely as many fifty TO one hundred
men were engaged, but none fatally injured. We
are unable at present to name with certainly the
companies whose members guilty of this out
rage, or the men who suffered in the melee. All
the available police force of this section Of the city
brought to bear but with little effect. Some
arrests we're finally made, and a few individuals
bound over for their future appearance.
Later While the Weccacoe Company were
supping at the Franklin engine house, between 9
and 10 O'Clock last night, the house attacked
by party who threw stones and other missiles.
The police officers, and portion of the company
within repealed the attack, and pursued the assail
ants. Many were somewhat injured i'll this fight
before fire arms were rcsorted TO. These were
finally used, and Officer Reese was shot in the
hand; but at Wiard's Hotel number of persons
standing the porch, and of these Mr..
Ebenezcr Rodbird received n ball in the RIGHT
breast Drs. Miller, Stone, Fraily, and Jordan.
were prompt in their attendance upon him but of
the extent of his injury it impossible TO deter.
mine. The opinion We formed, however, was that
bis recovery was not probable.

TeIerrnphic Summary.

After the presentation OF two petitions by Mr.
Seward, in the Senate, for the repeal of the Fug-
i've Slave law, which were LAID on he table with
out de bate, that body proceeded yesterday to the
consideration of Mr.. Clay resolution, directing an
inquiry into the expectancy of adopting more eff
fectua for the suppre ssion of the African
slave trade, by preventing American vessels and
American seamen from engag ng in It. Quite a
debate ensued, in which Mr. Hale, of New Hamp-
shire, took a conspcuo part. His remarks, how
ever, not at all to the point, and consequently
are not worth referring to-
The resolution carried and the question was
accordingly referred to the appropriate committee.
tits, we believe, beyond doubt that American yes-
sells are extensively engaged in the African slave
trade; but is very doubtful if the refusal of
letters TO them will remedy the evil Il may, TO a
certain extent, restrain American vesse and Ame-
rican seamen from engaging in it; but let them 60
out of the field and the profits of the trade SO
great, that others will enter into IT, Hitherto Ame-
rcan vessels have enjoyed peculiar privileges in
this trade, n consequence of the refusal of our
government TO tccede TO the right of search;
but no matter how stringent the law may be,
the trade will b. followed as long as negro caa
be purchased in Africa for forty dollars, and sold
in Cuba or Brazil for four hundred The most
effectua method Of stopping the trade is that sag
gesed by Mr.. Clay, in speech TO the Senate, a
few days since, and that is, to cclonzs The coast
OF Africa with tree negroes from the United
States. To do this efiectually line of steamships
on the plan proposed short time sin e, to ply be-
tween the United States and Afica, for the con-
veyance of free negroes, should be established.
According to all accounts, the colony of Liberia
has succeeded in putting sop to the traffic, far
as its jurisd elton extends, and what further.
II has broken up some of the slave marts, and de-
s,roytd the traffic 10 extent OF one-hrd of the
Western coast II Liberia has been able to ac-
complish SO much with limited means, and within
such short time, surely enterprise supported
by the government of the United States would do
more, il not suppress the traffic entirely To this
comp EXON we think shall come at last
The deficiency appropriation bills, and the tariff
question, were touched upon in the House of Repre-
sentatiyes yesterday. No business o. any conse-
suence was transact d.

that the Jury brought 10 verdict TO the effect that

The ARMY SUPPORTING lrsKLF.-In late order
from the War Department, al Washington, COM
handing officers Of posts in Texas, New Mexico,
California, and Oregon, are directed TO cultivate
kitchen gardens with the soldiers under their COM
mand, so as to enable them to supply the men with
necessary vegetables throughout the year. Il was
also stated that a more extended cultivation
would be commenced soon possible, TO EN-
brace grains for Bread forage and long forage, Ec.
This is a very excellent movement by the War
Department, and We hope il will be carried out on
a scale commensurate with the wants and require
ments Of the army. Every garrison and l.ary
station in the western country, could with ease
supply Iself with -four, pork, bee, corn, hay, vege
tables, and everything else requisite for mans sub
sstenc with psratively little expense to the GO
vernment and there is no reason why il should not
do so. In time OF peace, the life OF soldier ofi-

do something useful-to engage in some work thai

We sreI sure he would warmly appreciate. What
more desirable recreation could our soldiers have
than to work six or eight hoursia day in ploughng

But there Is another advantage attending the pro-
posed project which is, that the soldier, al the end
Of his term OF service, would find himself com

Independence for himself and his family, if he had

worthy Of being adopted Immediately. An i'm

soldiers would be better satisfied with their condi
