THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.  We have received the Paris Papers of yesterday. The National Assembly on Wednesday adopted without a division, as we stated yesterday, the first clause of the proposition of M. LANJUINAIS, which declares that the electoral law shall be passed without delay. The Assembly then proceeded to discuss the second clause of the proposition, which enacts that immediately after the passing of that law the election lists shall be prepared and the new elections take place on the Sunday after the closing of the lists. This proposition, which was opposed by M. SENARD, and supported by M. DUFAURE, was adopted by a majority of 470 to 337. The Assembly then adopted the third clause, enacting that the Assembly before the dissolution should in addition to the electoral laws pass the organic law on the Council of State, and that on the responsibility of the PRESIDENT f the Republic and his Ministers—this was the whole of the proposition of M. LANJUINAIS, which had, with the support of the Ministers, been substituted for the proposition-Rateau, and so far the result was a ministerial victory. But the victory was not to be complete, for M. DEZERMERIS distrusting, and very properly distrusting, the economical disposition of a Chamber to be elected under the menaces and cajoleries of the reactionaries of all shades who from the higotted partisan of the Parti-petre to the cold-blooded self-seeker of the parti-Thiers— from the Legitimist believer in the " right divine of Kings to govern wrong"—to the place-hunting enunciator of the dogma "le Roi regne mais ne gouverne pas," have united in an unholy alliance to restore the regime of the exploitation of the people for the exclusive benefit of the now fallen beaureaucrats.—M. DEZERMERIS, distrusting the economical dispositions of a Chamber so elected, proposed that the budget should be also passed by the National Assembly before its dissolution, a proposition which, notwithstanding the opposition of the old political hacks of all the former regimes, was carried by a majority of 445 to 373. The result of these divisions will be that the new Legislative Assembly will meet about the middle of May. The Moniteur contains the following announcement:—  " Paris, Feb. 7. "His Excellency the Marquis of Normanby has this day presented to the President of the Republic, the letters of her Majesty the Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland which accredits him in quality of Ambassador Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary to the Republic. "It will be remembered that Lord Normanby has hitherto been accredited only to the Republic for a special and temporary mission." Five of the murderers of General BREA and Capt. MARGIN were sentenced to death by the Council of War of Paris—namely, Daix, Vapreau, junior, Lohr, Chapael, and Nouvrit.
