THOUARS. We are perfectly edified with the patriotic subscriptions of the republic. It will be with the sword of honour, maximum 50c., as with the million of the Irish; and with M. DUPETIT TIIOUARS as with O'CoNNELL, who declared that if the million had been sent, it would not have been accepted. M. DUPETIT THOUARS is, in fact, a man of infinitely too much sense and too much tact, to let himself be taken in by the compromising nonsense of the Opposition. He will perceive that the nation is rather with the imposing majority of the Chamber, who have disapproved of his conduct, whilst they. preserve to him all their esteem, than with those singers of the Marseillaise,' who will come between two bacchanalian couplets, and bring their offerings to the office of the National."  According to some of the papers, arrests have lately taken place in the garrison of Paris, chiefly in the 70th regiment of the line, but on what grounds we do not learn. " Yesterday," says the National of Monday, " and the day before, the report has been circulated at Paris, of a military conspiracy having been discovered. The information carried about by the news-mongers is rather vague and contradictory, but that which appears beyond a doubt, is that within a few days past several non-commissioned officers of a regiment quartered at Paris have been arrested. It  is even said that sundry superior officers are compro, raised among others, a colonel and lieutenant. colonel. In a day or two we shall know more abou this."  Four Legitimatist Deputies, namely, MM. de LARCY, BERRYER, the Duke de VALMY, and M. BLIN BE BOURBON, have been returned at Cette, Marseilles, Toulouse, and Doullens, by large majorities, and no doubt remained that M. LAROCREJACctuELIN would also be returned. The funds on Monday were a little lower than on the previous day, the Three per Cents. closing at 82f. 75c., and the Fives at 126 f. 35c.  The following telegraphic dispatch appears in the Messager :  it would seem that the Moldavian and Lithuanian authorities—acting, no doubt, under Russian influ• ence—look upon the Jews as a sort of moral pestilence, and require them to perform quarantine, and bring a sound bill of health with them, previous to their being permitted to reside in those enlightened countries. `We always knew that NICHOLAS was a tyrant—a systematic, remorseless tyrant, utterly regardless of the claims of humanity, when those claims interfered with any favourite project; but we little thought that he was a fool as well as a tyrant, without wit enough to see what was beneficial or otherwise to his own interests. We could understand his policy much as we abhorred it, when he sacrificed Poles by thousands to his lust of arbitrary, irresponsible power ; tore the mother from the son, the wife from the husband, and heaped up, like another TAMERLANE, but without his intellect, a pyramid of corpses on the highway as an awful monument of his Imperial vengeance—we could understand, we repeat, this ruthless, straightforward policy, emanating, as it avowedly did, from the CZAR'S desperate determination to strike terror to the heart of Poland; but we must confess we are wholly at a loss to 1 understand the motives by which he is influenced in his present persecution of the Jews, which seems to us the most suicidal act of atrocity that ever yet was perpetrated, even by a Russian despot. As for the pretext that they are engaged in smuggling, surely this is not sufficient to explain or justify the banishment of an entire people, many of whom are among the most enlightened of the CZAR'S subjects, diffusing the arts of civilisittion by their wealth, anal fostering a taste for its enjoyments by their example ! There must be SOW petty,  "
