FOREIGN.

The expulsion of the French princes by the republic has caused much uneasiness in Paris. A cable dispatch from that city says: It is feared that serious trouble may result from tho bitter feeling engendered. The better class of people severely condemn the issue of the decree against the heads of the old monarchical and imporial families. They regard this step as an ovidence of weakness on the part of the Government, and dread the effect of its confession in this way on the uneasy spirits who are always ready for revolution. They hold, too, that the expulsion of the princes has given undue prominence to them and their political position, will tend to unite the monarchical and imperial interests in a common hostility to the republic, and has ever aroused a keen sympathy with the princes among a great number of Frenchmen who would otherwise have remained in seclusion. The widespread influence of this measure is already seen in the immediate disturbance which it has made in diplomatic circles, and in the stand which it has obliged some of the most able statesmen and former friends of the Government to take on the side of the princes. In addition to the resignations which have already been offered to the Government, many move are expected, and the men of culture and social position display an inclination, as a rule, to witndraw from all participation in the affairs of the nation, as at present conducted. This is likely to be a serious blow to the republic, particularly in its intercourse with other countries. This disposition is manifested not only by the representatives of France at foreign courts, including M. Waddington, Ambassador at St. James, by the bost class of those who hold offices in France. M. Gornet, a member of the Council of State, and Colonel Belleval, the commander of the Due de Chartres’ old regiment of chasseurs, have resigned. Several of the persons who were arrested yesterday for exhibiting their sympathy with the departing exiles were released at night, it not boing thought expedient to hold them, in view of the dangerous temper of the people.
