The French Republic.

Mr. Washburn's letter announcing the
recognition of the French republic by
the United States, was published IN the
papers of Paris and created an uneX-
pected enthusiasm among all classes,
including the National Guard and the
regular troops.
An immense procession was formed nj
an early hour, and with transparencles,
bands of music, and the flags OF France
and the L lited States, marched along
the Champs Ulysses. The cheering was
frantic in its pitch. The bands played
the &" Star Spangled Banner and the
"Marsellaise
The house of the American Minister
was surrounded with an enthusiastic
multitude, cheering repeatedly, and the
flags of the two nations were displayed
from the windows. In many other parts
of the city similar demonstrations took
place. The flags of America and France
tioated over the Washington Club, OPP
pOsite the Grand Opera, over the Grand
Hotel, and from many buildings along the
line of the boulevards. 1t was observed,
also, that from the balcony Of hotel III

The American eagle and flag, which

with increased tervor. The news Of the
