FRANCE.  PARIS, SATURDAY. People are somewta! struck by the exchange made between France and England of the Prince of Canino for M. Guizot. The latter poli'ician landed at Havre, was received in triumph b 7 his political friends, and was escorted with great jubilation to his seat at Val Richer. _ .  Toe ex•Preddent of the Roman Republic is not so fortunate as the ex-President of Louis Philip; c's ministry. He is packed off by rail and steamer out of France, as fast as poinble, as belonging to the classes danyerenses. The Prince of Colima stopped at Orleans, dined at the tat le-d'h4te, talkei politics ' to the guests, and styled Oud.not's conduct at Rome a veritable infamie. Being closely watched by a police agent, he begged the ,orchard to give bon his arm (the prince is very fat, and needs support in walking), and in this company be visited the few wonders of Orleans. In the debate on the press law, M. Combavel de Leyval dwelt mach on the necessity of passing the bill, as one d'urgenee. M. Mathieu de la Dn'ime energetically oppo-:d it. Ile candidly confessed that repressive measures were best suited to the interests of his party, but be thought higher aim should be held in view ; repression of individual liberty and freedom of thought was imperious, and b-sides these reasons he felt sure that so many measures contrary to democracy could not but lead at some not dire ant period, to frightful explosions by which the country might ba upturned and destroyed. So soon as democracy ceased to be represented in the assembly it wou.dtike refuge in the streets ; and so ion as liberty was violated the assembly would be pasting laws indeed, but would in reality be supporting tyranny. These words of M. Mathieu were interrupted by cries of " Aliens dune ;" and after silence was restored he cried out, " he could tell those who interrupted him that the representatives in this assembly were neither superior nor inferior to other citizens. 'Were they superior they would be aristocrats—inferior if they believed him, they had sufficiently lowered themselves by the passing of their regiment. The intended press law was meant as a crusade against socialism, and this was timeless, for all utopias must fall b: fore the force of reason. Such a crusade would merely cause the people to say that the ricia combated socialism, because it was liberty, and they wanted to keep the poor in slavery. He then went on to show that repressive governments had always endeavoured to enchain liberty. He coal& tell the majority that know so well how to lose a government, how they might save one. When the: rich gave their superfluous wealth and education to the people, then they would no longer require prase laws; for if they attacked the people, then they ..could be committing suicide. M. Montalerabr rt followed, and spoke in favour of the law. HE., &at protested his desire to keep up the republican form of government under which he thought France could lire and prosper; but, at the same ti'.ne, he would defend society against the attacks e f anarchists. He thought that France was on the rel.ge of n tomb, and that society was in danger, and they must be saved at any price. Liberty must be I awed at the same time, but not unlimited liberty ; th t would bring back a dictatorship. He knew that in June disarmaments had taken place, the limbs had Preen disarmed, but the heart and the id-as remained, and the only means of disarming them was to depr,ve them of the press. The news of the proclamation of the Papal authority at Rome has created no surprise either in the Chamber or the public. It is believed to be a mere got uo affair and that the Pope is not a whit more near a return to his capital. IV') read in the National:—" It is affirmed that a very serious collision has broken out iu Corsica, between a battalion of the garde mobile and part of the population. If what is stated oa this subject be true, it appears that this struggle, which her cost the lite of a certain number of soldiers and inhabitants, arose out of some not very measured exyressions respecting the President of the Republic, which sounded ill to his countrymen, who, as is }mown, carry their eu-ceptibility writ regard to the Napoleon family vary far." The Courrier de Lynn states that fifteen peers have been arrested at Gie ore, Grigny, and St. Andeol,l on the charge of being concerned in the plot of June 13, and that 300 mut'etts with a number of swords and pistols, bad benn seized. At St. Denis six other persons were arrested for threatening and insulting the armed force on its return with the prinonere and arms. The Court of Causation hie rejected the any-al cf
