IGOR WATER AT LONDON BRIDGE I MO rer—liaratsg. Vide. L. Sem A cidnes s. U. Ind. LONDON TUESDAY, DECEMBER 9. Iv the last remark' we offered on the expedi tion in quest of Sir lons FKANIELIN, a fear was expresoca that incompatibilities of temper had ren dered the search less complete and effective than it ought to have been. The report of the committee appointed by the Lords of thc Admiralty to inquire into the recent arctic expeditions has since been published. A careful examination of the notes of evidence, and of the documents appended to that report has,—we grieve to say,—ripened into conviction the suspicion to which we gave utterance. A very considerable portion of the inquiries of the committee bore upon the conflicting statements of Captain AUSTIN and Mr. PENNY respecting the cir cumstances in which the expedition broke up and returned home. The averments of these two gentle men are in direct contradiction of each other, but the evidence collected by the committee shows that this contradiction is quitensistent with the belief that each has stated wha t he believes to be the truth. Both were angry, and angry men are not very capa ble either of explaining their own meaning distinctly, or understanding that of others. Of deliberate and intentional misrepresentation we now acquit both. Not so easy, however, is it to acquit either of having allowed themselves, under the influence of irritation, to give up too soon the examination of Wellington Strait. On the 12th of August, 1/451, Captain Aren't transmitted to Mr. PENNY an official intimation that he did " not consider it necessary to prosecute (even if practicable) a further search in the direc tion of Wellington Strait. Immediately after de spatching this letter Captain Averts returned to the eastward, with a view to examine Jones's Sound, and Mr. PE.NNY made the best of his way homeward. Captain Arms attributes his determination to a note from Mr. PENNY, in which that gentleman says My opinion is that Wellington Channel requires no further search. All has been done in the power of man to accomplish, and no trace has been found." Mr. PENNY alleges that by Wellington Channel he meant only the part of the opening south of 75; deg. of north latitude; that it there takes a turn to the west of north, and is interrupted by islands that that continuation which ho calls Queen's Channel had not been examined; that he urged Captain ACTIN to send a steamer up Wellington Channel, and offered to pilot it, and that his note was written under the influence of irritation. Cap tain AUSTIN denies that Mr. PENNY recommended the sending up of a steamer, and denies that Mr. Paver had at that time made any distinction be tween Wellington and Queen's Channels. Now, from various circumstances we are disposed to believe that Mr. PENNY intended to advise Captain AUSTIN to send a steamer up Wellington Channel, and also that lie actually did so advise him. Sir Joliet Ross gave, in kis evidence before the committee, an account of a conversation between himself and Mr. PY.NNY : " What Captain PENNY said to me was, that if the ice broke up in the chan nel he could do a great deal with a steamer; but it was conditionally if the ice broke up ; and he once mentioned that if this was the case he would apply for a steamer to assist him, but he did not say it was to Captain AUSTIN lie would apply. To apply to Captain AUSTIN was abeurd, for none of his officers could do duty under Captain PENNY." Commander Pnittirs (second in command to Sir Jolts ideas) stated in evidence: " Subsequent to the 25th of July, 1851, I recollect Captain PENNY said to me, as he was going up the ladder, ' I shall ask Captain AUSTIN to put a steamer under my orders,' se words to that effect. 1 made no observation, be came I knew there would be technical difficulties in the way." These statements are in strict harmony with that which has repeatedly been made by Mr. PENNY: " I had told him (Captain Avers all in my power, giving him my chart, and him to let me pilot one of his steamers up ellingtou Channel ;" and " The last thing I said was, ' Go up into the Wellington Channel, and you will do good service to the cause:" For reasons to be assigned immediately, we might have thought that Mr. PENNY deceives himself in thinking now that he gave Cap- Min AUSTIN the advice it is clear he intended to give him, but the evidence of Mr. GOODSIE (principal medical officer on board the Lady Franklin) seams to reader it probable that he actually carried his inten tion into effect : " Did you ever hear of Captain PENNY applying to Captain AUSTIN for moistener with • steamer to proceed up the Wellington Channel heard of it en the 12th of August. I merely besidathe report. " From whom did you hear it?- 7 /rittm a vague rumour spreading very much anaqpigalthe mews of the Lady Franklin and the Sophit"", It dues not appear how such a " vague rumour" could have got abroad the day Oar the application is said by Mr. PENNY to have made, unless he lad actually made it. We entirely acquit Captain Aurriir of any inten tion to misrepresent Mr. PENNY. Mr. PENNY has himself stated that he was very angry at the time. Captain Aunts gives the following account of his conduct during their conversation :•—• I pat some close questions to Captain Fiume, but not by any means so close as I should have pat to Captain Olt- MANNEY, or any one of his rank who had come to me with that report. I found that Captain PENNY was angry, and felt that he would not slow me to make web inquiries." "It was a sort ce rambling mover illation, of which I could make asthma.

But, after making every allowance, we cannot admit that Captain Minix could be misled by the expression in Mr. Patsy's peevish note. Ho knew that only the southern ex tremity of the inner reach bad en examined; that the parties who penetrated into it had men a tract of clear water, at least sixty miles in hoses li extending beyond them. with every ePearannal or a passage still further on. How then can he peen* to have been misled by the statement that " Wallop ton Channel requires no further search r ipas obvious that the greater part of the opening hat Mt been examined. Bat worse than this : at the time when Captain AUSTIN abruptly left Wellington Channel he was in possession of a report from the master of his own vessel showing that there was every probability a pump into the channel would be opened in the course of a few days :—" As far as the eye can reach from the crow's nest, the Wellington Strait is filled with ice, consisting of large floe pieces and loom pressed up ice ; the whole of it appears to be detached from the land, and lanes of water stretch across from side to side. To the eastward, Barrow's Strait is quite clear of ice right across as far as can be seen. To the southward also there is a great deal et water mixed with the ice." Captain At nut also knew from the reports of the various exploring parties that the ice only C hannel;e half-way up !bats now Galled Wellington hannel ; that the whobs die mintimes part of that channel, and all of Qum% awed that had been seen was bee km Ilsel T aint. that the wind was from the ssethweed. the state of matters on the 11th of August, we holm that it was his duty, irrespective altogether of the opinion of Mr. PRNNY, to have made an attempt to penetrate further in, by sending a steamer, insirthe command of that gentleman, or with him to pilot it, or without his assistance. We have only one other remark to make with re ference to the conduct of the expedition. Omesider able surprise has been occasioned by the bet el no despatches from Sir Joum FRANKLIN bIiROMIII4 at his winter quarters on Beechey Island. Was wall clod search made for them? Captain AIIST/N on his examination before the committee :--" We went to a cairn, took it down and examined it to a certain extent, but not in the way in whisk we were satisfied it ought to be examined.' And the following important question and car swcr occur in Captain OSIMANNILY'S examina tion :—Capt. theme's " Yon are aware that it wee an arrangement of Sir JOHN FILiNKLIN in another expedition to bury his information at a distance from the pile. Did you dig in any direction from it ? OMMANNET : I did not know of such an ar rearment." It is at least possible, therefore, that thipeishes were left by Sir Jous FRANKLIN at Issebey Island, and not found on account of the devenly manner in which the search less tLcm was made. The impression produced by the facts upoa which we have been commenting, is painful in the xtreme. The search for Sir JOILN FRANKLIN has not been properly conducted. Proper exertions have not been made to discover and relieve him and 'i, his gallant associates. Reproach with reference to the past is vain ; but the lesson read by it ought not to be neglected. The utmost care mns: be taken in selecting the commander of the new expedition ; and if officers of the royal navy are to be «Zed upon to act in concert with officers of the merchant ser vice (and considering the intelligence, ability, and experience of many of our whalers, such a combina tion appears to be extremely desirable), every care ought to be taken to prevent jars and misunderstand ings arising from points d mere naval etiquette. The officers of the royal navy ought to be given to understand that they arc engaged on an exceptional service, in which all mere martinet considerations must be left out of account. Or the game course must be adopted which was pursued with such distin guished success when the great voyages of discove ry in the Sonth Sea were instituted, and commis non when a - mis non was given to Ctiox,—the pupil of a Sunderland collier,—to enable him to take the command. GERMANY. VIENNA, Dee. 1. A system of wholesale banishment is just now going on in Austria which it is difficult to reconcile with any plan of policy or prudence, and which bids fair to drive out of the country all the labour, ca pital, and enterprise that can get leave to depart or find means to escape. Not only have a great number of Jews been sum manly sent away, accused of tampering with the ensitessgee—dinagb many of them have declared that Iwy aims from long distances to Vienna simply to makiparchases—bnt many other persons have been bed without the least reason being assigned, their passports being simply returned to them with the words written across that they were to be consi dered as expelled by martial law. The worst, however, remains behind, and shows that the tyranny exercised in this respect is as pur poseless as harsh. A poor fellow who for a long time was established in England; having married and amassed a little property there, returned to Austria& short time ago to see a sick relative, and now finds that ho will not be able to go back again to Eng. land, having received a strict order from the poises to return to the village in EL where he woe born, but had long ceased to ha li Z g e a gier tie or lOW Wien !

STATE OF PARIS. to portion of the following appeared in a second edition of the Express last evening.) PARIS, SUNDRY EVENING. The members of the dissolved Assembly are now, with few exceptions, at liberty. The first use which they have made of their power of seeing one another has been to commit whe ther they shall stay at Paris or mak to the various departments, where they have mast influence, in order to organise a pacific resist ance to .ouis Napoleon by way of vote. This goes , bon has not been yet decided. But several censer ' votive representatives will meet this evening at the house of a well known ex-minister, in order to come to some common resolution on this subject. I un derstand that none of the representatives hostile to the government receive their letters addressed to them ; and their correspondence has to be sent through third parties. The most important private news which I receive from the de partments is that Douay has declared against the President, and holds out. I notice in the official news from the departments the omis sion of the Bouchoo-du-lthone. Merely the Bonapartist addresses of the Prefect and Mayor of Marseilles are given; but not a fact of auy kind is ' mentioned. ' There is nothing new in the aspect of Paris to day, nor anything in the streets unecarred by the events of Thursday, which could give the least idea that so tremendous a revolution had been accom plished. A friend who called in on his return from the Evangelical Chapel of the Rue Taitbout, tells me that the protestant teacher there announced that the lectures suspended by the events of the week would be now resumed. It appears by a proclamation of the Prefect of the Haute-Garonne, published in the Moniteur ' that the following telegraphic despatch was sent by the Minister of the Interior to every prefect in France on the 2nd of December: THE MINISTER OP THE INTERIOR TO THE PREFECTS. The repose of France was menaced by the Assembly. It is dissolved. The President of the Republic appeals to the nation. He maintains the republic, and loyally remits to the country the right of decidiug upon its destiny. The population of Paris has accepted with enthusiasm this event which had become indispensable. The govern ment gives you all powers necessary to ensure public tran quillity. It is worthy of observation that the prefects' pro clamation is dated Toulouse, Dec. 2. The first grand issue to be looked for is now the result of the secret ballot by universal suffrage on the 20th and 21st instant. It would not be very safe at this moment in France to express doubts as to the sincere intention of the President to accept the decision of the country upon that occasion. All the hostility of the Assembly will for the pre sent be turned into this channel; the coali tion of the royalists and socialists will be exerted with all possible energy to procure the failure of Louis Napoleon's appeal to the country; and, in case of a negative vote carrying the day, means will be organised to render that vote effective. Whether the royalists join the socialists or not in a civil war against the President, supposing him not to stand by the award to which he has appealed, the army arrayed against usurpation would be in its vast republican, and no doubt sufficiently for ble to dispute obstinately the empire of France against all violent and illegal pretensions. If, on the Weer hand, the President obtain the majority of suf lieges, as there is every probability he will, the supreme power which he has gained by a violent surprise must be regarded as consolidated in his heeds by the consent of the nation. In that case the cause of the Legitimists and Orleanists will look so desperate, that we may expect many of the leaders of those parties to come forward and support the authority of Louis Napoleon ; and in all cases, whe ther they do so or not, the bulk of their adherents will pursue that course. Thus surrounded with the army, the bourgeoisie, and the mass of the nation, Louis Napoleon will be in a I very different condition from that in which be made his appeal on the 2nd of December. Will he, under such circumstances, remember his pledge to allow one of the chambers to be chosen by univer sal suffrage? Whatever may be the present inten tions of Louis Napoleon, it may be reasonably doubted whether such a result will be ever realised. Evidently . a chamber so chosen would be in perpe tual collision with the senate, and still more with a government which must be essentially repressive. :It siskty would lie at the mercy of the army, and after a few maim of stormy debates would be swept away like its poiesemor. Such a legislative body would, in fact, no party. It would be objected to by the moserratives as the deformed issue of unlimited sage • it would be as an institution unless to the =irom its being controlled by the other or bodies of the date. Hence the realisation of Louis Napoleon's programme, even in case of his obtaining the majority of votes throughout France, nillifar from probable. His success must, in lf; the very nature of things, lead to the er ased= not only of that universal suffrage, which he adopted u his flag against the Assembly in the meerge of the 4th November, but of representative Imitations altogether, which are systematically as sailed in all the organs devoted to his cause. I am told today on all hands by persons conversant with the tone of opinion that Louis Napoleon's triumph at the poll fixed for the 20th is considered as certain. Physical resistance; or materials for it, tams may be said to exist none at Paris in the pre med menet. The blow is struck, and it has per heap sowesoisd. The great proprietors, the mer abiante, the monied interests, on all hands adhere to dm sew power. They regard the revolution of February as completely slain ; they look forward to the rising of rents, to the revival of commerce, to the reanimation of industry. The persons and classes, who since February, 1848, have been sunk in dejection and choked with fear, begin to breathe with ease, and to appear radiant with hope. I de scribe what I see among the opulent orders and the tradespeople, who have no political creed whatever, but only look to a strong central power to put down with the strong hand all attempts at disturbasoe, and stop all sources of agitation. Yon will lad it of great importance to bear this in mind, that the government of Louis Napoleon humped already by all such. The new dictator meets raoletsoce only in the political orders, which are at this moment in a terrible minority. So tree is this, that M. Thinshas been set at liberty, together with the greater ren ef is tas repueutatives who remained still in om it in dee 'Aden of those with whom I have eon mood. most quite disinterested in their views, who good diet from politics, that the achievement of Lois Napoleon has taken, that he will obtain a rammioritY of oUfirrages, and that no sicken re will be offered to him in the departments.

The prefect, the general, the precureur-general, left in the night with 200 men, cavalry and infantry, and must have arrived at en early hour. The greatest tranqui lity prevails at ]bargee, Vierzon, Anbiguy Sancerre, sad in the rest of the department. By decree of the general commanding the de rtment, the national guards of the communes of Saint Amand, Bessais, Arphenille, and Uzay le Venon are to be disarmed. M. Chapin, formerly colonel of the 4th Lesion of the National Guard of Paris, has been appointed to the provisional command of that legion, in the place of Colonel Raimond de la Croissette, whose resigna tion is accepted. The government, and only permitted account of the disturbances in the Puy-de-Dome, states, that on the arrival of the courier from Paris with the news of the events of December 2, the red republicans as sembled and took • n of the majror's house. Being driven out y the gendarmerie they spread themselves about the rural districts to recruit their partisans. The fire brigade and the good citizens, armed with fowling-pieces, are guarding the barriers. The demagogue", intimidated by the energetic attitude of the friends of order, have taken flight; 200 troops of the line have arrived from Clermont, and everything promises that order will not be disturbed. For the rest, the whole depart ment has received with joy the news of the great events which have assured the destinies of France. The Conslitutionnel says that at Saint-Oengoux, near Chalons-liar-Saone, the mob, after taking the cash-box of the receiver of taxes, forced a rich proprietor to contribute 2,000 f. This incident is cited to prove that the Socialists first attack the public Treasury, but that they will soon fall upon the property of private individuals. It is added, that from this slight foretaste, what 1832 would have been may be imagined. The following are later accounts of the state of the departments according to the government organs, up to six o'clock this evening : At Orleans the insignificant movement directed by the ex-representative, M. Martin, is at an end. At Niort, where the mayor resigned, the whole population has shown itself resolved to maintain order and to support the government. A municipal commission has been appointed in the place of the council which has been suspended. In the Seine Inferieure some socialist leaders have been arrested, and among them one who was the bearer of a " word" for the democrats of Rouen. The population of ltouen unanimously applauds these repressive measures. [The Journal de Rouen, which has reached this office, protests most energetically against the Bona partist measures, and has consequently been sus pended.) The Havre journals announce that the only event of importance has been the resignation of one of the mayor's assistants. The squ ad ron of Chasseurs at Havre have voted unanimously for Louis Napoleon. [The Journal du Havre, which has reached us, ad heres emphatically to the above-mentioned protest of the Journal de Rouen, and declines so much as to guarantee the assertions of the government journals which it reprints.) At Hanker an attempt was made to cut a post of the electric telegmph,.but the author of this crime was interrupted. St. Quentin, about which some alarming rumours have been current, has been perfectly tranquil, not withstanding the resignation of the mayor. There is nothing to fear even from the most decided among the other socialists of the neighbourhood. The manu facturers of St. Quentin have never for an instant suspended their works. The Courrier de Lyon, dated Dec. 6, says that when the news from Paris arrived, the democrats of La Ouillotidre attempted to placard some bills to seduce the army. The attempt came to nothing. l ln the Jura, 80 socialists, belonging to a secret so ciety, marched upon Lons-le-Saulmer to raise the Redo. Forty troops of the line, and 20 gendarmes, dispersed them, and made 15 prisoners. At Tournus, four companies of the 4th Light In fantry, sent from Macon, dispersed 200 anarchists, who had attempted to nake themselves masters of the city. The journals of Clermont fully confirm the news of the tranquillity of that town, as well as of the whole Puy-de-Dome. At Wooden and de Blanc, the stronghold of the de of the Indre, the leaders allowed themselves ro s e r a:::sted without resistance. The agitators of Chateeuroux surrendered with equal facility. In the Nidvre M. )HM'' constituents provoked an appeal to arms, and seduced some persons to join them. 'f he troops sent against them have hemmed them in at Clancy, where they must soon be reduced to submission. By the last telegraphic despatch front Marseilles, dated Dec. 4, two in the morning, all is tranquil. MILITARY EXECUTIONS IN THE STREETS. Two hundred and ten of the ex-gardiene de nuit, Who are known to be devoted to Ledru-Rollin and Casimidiere, have been arrested and are to be bid. One of these guardians, who was arrested &ohm the fighting the other day for threatening mime sentries, was found to have two poignards eau some cartridges upon him. He resisted the arrest, and when overpowered continued to cry oat against the agents of the government, where upon, upon the order of the officer commanding the guard-house to which he was taken, he was shot in the Rue de Jerusalem, A woman, upon whose person 25 peignards were hound, was taken prisoner, and shot by - the 36th of the line. M. Reims, of the Ordre, an eminent journalist of Orleans politico, was among the killed on the Boule vard Montmartre, in the affair of Thursday. He was a warm supporter of MM. Thies and Changarnier. M. Reims was formerly editor of the Courrier Fran cais, and was at one time secretary to the Northern Railway. PARIS, MONDAT MORNING.

The Minister of the Interior has addressed t cir cular to the prefects, with instructions to carry out the provisions of the electoral law of March 15, 1849, in the ballot of the 20th and 21st December. The lists of March, 31, 1849, will be taken as the base of the new lists, which will include all citizens who have duos that period acquired the age of 21, and undergo other necessary modifications in confor mity to the law of March 15, 1849. The elector Oui" s will hand in a closed ticket, inscribed simply, " or " Non." The Minister of the Interior has addressed a letter to the Commander of the National Guard, stating 'that several proprietors have had the audacity to write on their doors, " Arms given here." The Pee -1 bet of Police is ordered to denounce the legions in which these facts have occurred, in order that their dissolution may be decreed by the government. General Lawcestine replies that the sth Legion of the National Guard has suffered the doable affront of being disarmed at home by the insurgents and of the above mentioned inscnptioa. Th 3 mayory of their arrondissement fell into the hands of the in surgents notwithstanding the presence of more than 60 men. Therefore the general demands the disso lution of the sth Legion. At the same time he praises the spirit of order and obedience which has in many other legions. In conseq uence peat ith a r i ol ed ution of the sth Legion has been sbareed, sad the Minister of the Interior has ordered their disarmament to be proceeded forthwith. A conflict has taken place at Montargis in the Loiret, in which the socialist party were defeated, with loss, by the National Guard. The Chamber of Commerce at Havre made in its sitting of the sth a demonstration against the acts of the President. The military commander of that port during the state of siege has therefore issued a proclamation, warning all deliberative bodies not to exceed the strict limit of their attributions, by passing resolutions on such matters, otherwise they will be dissolved. He abstains from dissolving the Chamber of Commerce on the present occasion, con sidering the inconvenience that might result to com merce from such a measure. A commission of three mayors, an architect, and doetnr, presided over by the Prefect of the Seine, is appointed to value the damages done to innocent vic tims. A credit of 200,000 fr. is opened to the minis ter of the interior to provide for the first needs. M. Pierre Leroy, prefect of Calvados, is appointed commissioner extraordinary of the government in the Indre. The Conatitutionnel announces that M. Thiers is about to travel in Italy for the sake of his health, which is much shattered, particularly by late events. The following correspondence has been published between M. Casablanca, the late Minister of Finance, and M. d'Argout, the Governor of the Bank of France: Monsieur le Gouverneur,—A report has been spread that on the occasion of recent events I had drawn from the Bank, as Minister of Finance, a sum of twenty-five millions. You are aware that there is no foundation for this report; that I confined myself in my despatch, of Nov. 27, to give you notice of the intention of the government to dispose of that sum by . virtue of the treaty of June 30, 1848, and that I left the ministry without having drawn out the 25 millions, which I desired to keep in reserve for the necessities of the public service. Will you, I beg, be so kind as to authorise me to make public the answer which you will do me the honour to send me. Receive, &c., Paris, Dec. 6, 1851. X.. DE CALABIANCA._ M. d'Argout'e answer : buten to reply to the letter which you have done me the honour to address to me. You are pleased to enter into explanations with me about the false reports that were current with respect to your relations with the bank in your capacity of Minister of Finance. These calumnious reports have already been contradicted in the Pattie and in the Constitution/wt. I think that no traces of them remain. Nevertheless, to comply with your desire, I declare that en the 27th November you did me the honour to address to me a despatch, purporting that it was your intention to claim for the Treasury the cum of twenty-five millions, forming the residue of a loan of one hundred and fifty millions which the bank had engaged to effcct by virtue of the treaty of Juno 30, 1848, approved by the decree of July 25 following, and reduced to 75 millions, by virtue of the law of Aug. 6. 1850, and of which sum 50 millions only had theretofore been paid to the Treasury. The Council of the Bank, deliberating the same clay upon the demand recognised that it was eon formable to the terms of the treaty, whereby the latest periods fur requiring the completion of the loan were successively prolonged at first until December 31, 1830, and afterward& until December 31, 1831. The Treasury up to this day, December 6, has not yet availed itself of this power of requiring the completion of the loan, and its account has not yet been credited with any portion whatsoever of these 25 millions. I shall have the honour to observe to you that although the most absurd events have circulated upon a thousand occasions with regard to the operations of this establishment, I should have enough to do if I were to contradict them all, and I never trouble myself about them. At the end of a very short time, such rumour have invariably come to nothing and been forgotten.—Re ceive, &c., D'Anouer. Paris, ee. 6, 1851. It is said (according to the correspondent of the Independence Beige) that several decrees will shortly appear in the Moniteur—one giving ministers the power to expel foreigners from France ; another by which workmen not born in Paris will be removed to their departments; another authorising the deportation of any cri minal liberated near Paris on the expiration of his punishment; one giving the power to expel from Paris any person having ill-will towards the government; mid lastly, one permitting the expul sion from France of all the political chiefs who have taken part in any of the events of the last 25 years. The following members of the council of state, on the 3rd, signed a protest against its dissolution : Bethmont, Vivien, Bureau do Puzy, Stourm, Ed. Charton, Cuvier, Do Renneville, Horacesay, Boula tignier, Gautier de Humilly, De Jouvcncel, Dunoyer, Carteret, DeFresne, Bouchenay, Lefer, Rivet, Boudet, Cormenin, Pons, De L'Herault. The Moniteur contains despatches of Admiral Dubordieu on the bombardent of Salee, in Morocco. PARIS, MONDAY EVENING. Generally there is every reason to believe that the I President's coup d'etathas been wellreceived through- 1 out France. But as the exceptions to the general rule do not appear in any paper, and are only ob tained through a private communication, I think the more necessary to send tho following, whiclf‘ have received from a friend: " The council-general of the Ile-et-Vilaine has pro tested against the act of 2nd December, with the ex ception of three members. The council-general of the Loire-Inferieure has protested unanimously." In consequence of the universal adhesion of the middle classes to the policy of Louis Napoleon, we must soon look for a complete change in the tone of political men, who still hang back, and even treat his offers with scorn. So persuaded am I that in a few weeks, if the President be returned, as ha is I almost sure of being by an enormous majority, these same political men will be among the first to bend, their backs at the Elyeee, that I do not attach much importance to the contemptuous demonstra tions with which they now protest t their names being enrolled in the Consultative With this qualification I proceed totes yes the fallowing extracts, which I have received from a private source, of a letter written by the Duke of Albufera to Louie Napoleon, on perceiving his name in the list of embryo senators. " Your uncle gave Iv family an honourable name, which you have tar mashed by putting it in the list of your commission." I am not aware how many such protests have been written. I only hope the honourable pride which dictated them will not be changed by the alchemy of power into an humble regret. I have conversed to-clay with a considerable number of persons of all classes. There is but one feeling and one opinion, and that is that Louis Napoleon will be accepted by an immense majority. Such feelings and opinions are entirely independent of any moral judgment of his coup d'etat. No one stops a moment to consider whether Louis Napoleon has broken his oath, and will keep his word. The uni versal exclamation is "We have nothing else to look to; the government of Louis Napo leon is the only organised government we can now hope for. If you ask what is to be eps, of the press ; how long a chamber chosen by usivereal suffrage will be suffered to last; if you :r; b th ur e ea mi ncra tli r in of th th e e p i ro m v P i e n risi ces, hi th erareh e arbitr ar y the y sway of prefects, and twenty other conceivable mia. lehiefe, you are answered by another volley of ques tions, of which the main purport is to tell you that nothing can be worse than what has been since Feb. 1848. The truth is that opinion among the French is the Mushroom growth of a single night ; on Thursday while the contest was raging the Parisians were all aptly ; to-day, when the victory is won, they adhere, ea they call it, with eagerness, to the strongest side; to-morrow they will acclaim the conqueror. I cannot toe emphatically impress on your mind that the Leis Napoleon of to-day is not the President all s week ego, who was taunted with an ineffectual ambition, an impotent wish to establish the Bae-Ens-1 pire, wise was nicknamed Augustulus by Lamed mere, and Vitellius by Michel de Bourget. He is onto more, as in December, 1848, the man to whom all France looks for the re-settlement of a govern ment, under which people may sleep without fast d having their throats cut, or being pillaged of thei r substance. If the fortune of Thursday had gone against him through dissensions in the army, or mutiny of the national guard, the victory would have been disputed between the " Reds" and the " Whites," between Ledru Rollin and Changarnier. As it is, the barricades having been removed, tho way is, the present, paving with all able speed towards the empire. I have heard many doubts suggested as to the probability of fair play in the ballot of " Yes or No," the prefects, mayors, and municipal functionaries, being mostly devoted to the President. But it is unnatural and absurd to suppose that such a vast scheme of univer sal swindling could be organised by any set of human instruments, however devoted, as to vitiate the ballot systematically by collusion between the electoral boards, which were chosen by the electors themselves, and the central authorities. Yesterday and to-day the military authorities have been employed in the disarmament of the nth legion of the national guard. This operation has been effected hitherto without the least resistance. I have already in a previous letter described the aspect of the sth arrondissement, which is the local habitation of the sth legion. This district of Paris was, in fact, the principal scat of the insurrection. Outside many of the houses there were large announcements in chalk on the shutters, "Armes donnees." B u t . . in general the inhabitants only parted with their arms under circumstances of intimidation by the in surgents. The soldiers were well received by the majority of the householders, who, in fact, desired no better guarantee against the plunder of their pro perty than the presence of the military. On Wed nesday evening, the quarter of St. Martin, St. Denis, and the adjacent streets was traversed by armed in. surgents, with about 50 in each band. Wherever they met with a decent-looking establishment, where several shopmen or national guards were likely to be lodged, they knocked at thedoors,and required thearms which the state confides to such citizens. If the pos session of arms was disavowed intimidation followed until 'they . were given up. As soon as the unpleasant visit terminated an apprentice generally slipped out of the establishment to fetch a picket of soldiers, who took possession of the house. Thus the streets were so fully occupied by the military, that they COM. pletely commanded every barricade. This circum stance accounts for the surprising paucity of casual- ties in the army. The police have paid two visits to the house in which the correspondent of the Chronicle lodges. The general estimation in which this gentleman is held by his friends has caused an extensive demon ' titration of sympathy on his behalf, and all means have been taken to stimulate the English ambassador to make a spirited remonstrance against his expulsion from Paris for no better reason than having paid attention to rumours hostile to the government. The Minister of the Interior has addressed tho foliowing very important circular to the prefects: Pais ' Dec. 7. By my circular of Dec. 2, you were invested with the right of suspending, and even of immediately dismissing, all functionaries whose co-operation should not be certain. These extraordinary powers it was necessary to confer on you, when it was indispensable to at once put down the attempts of resistance which might be of a nature to com promise the success of the grand measures of public safety decreed by Prince Louis Napoleon. These powers permitted you to reach even the juges de pair, but they must cease at present, now that the go vernment is master of the situation. The time, besides, which is to elapse before the opening of the ballot, allows the ordinary modes of nomination to be followed. You are, consequently, Monsieur Is l'rifet, for the future, to leave to the heads of the Courts of Appe d the free and full exercise of the right which belongs to them to present, and to the Minister of Justice the exercise of the right which belongs to him, to nominate to alt the functions of the ma gistracy. The Minister of Justice likewise invites the Pro cureur-General to consult you on the dismissals and nomi nations to be made. De Mottxv. - - - Official accounts state that in the recent fighting the casualties in the army were, 1 field officer and 15 soldiers killed, and 3 officers and 101 soldiers wounded. Among the latter tho greater part havo received serious wonnds. All the insurgents who were found wounded at the barricades are for the most part taken care of in the hospitals. The liotel-Dieu has received 30, and the Charite 10 or 12. The hospital of St. Antoine, and that of Ste. Marguerite, both near the quarters where the struggle took place, have received but comparatively few persons. Some soldiers are also to be found at the civil hospitals; but the great num ber of the wounded belonging to the army havo been taken to the military hospitals or to the ambulances established near the scene of action. General Magnan, the commander-in-chief, in an order of the day calling the attention of the army to General St. Arnaud's complimentary proclamation to the troops, adds the following brief address from himself The general-in-chief is happy to have to transmit to the troops the satisfaction of the minister at war. He thanks them with him for their generous co-operation, and is mars proud than ever of the honour of commanding them. M. Maurice Duval, who has just been invested with the enormous powers of an extraordinary com missary of government in the eight departments of tho Cotes-du-Nord, Finistere, Ile-et-N ilaine, Loire Inferieure, Morbihan, Maine-et-Loire, La VendCe, and La Mayenne, is well accustomed to the peculiar species of service of which various French govern ments have stood in need in critical times. Ile was prefect of Genoa front 1811 to 1814. At the time of the troubles about the census, he was sent to Tou louse. Subsequently, when the Loire Inferieure was ' in a state of dangerous agitation, he was removed to Nantes. On all these occasions M. Duval did nut disappoint the expectations that were formed of Eleven more ex-representatives (as they arc now called) were arrested last night. They are MM. ' Carboneau, Ceyras, Chabert, Chavassieu, Gavarret, Gambon, Guiter, erdiquier, Richardet, Mathc, and Huguenin, who represent severally the departments of Gers, Correzc, Ardeche, Loire, lidvre, PyrenCes lOnentales, Seine, Jura, Allier, and Haute Saone. The inspectors of public salubrity have found in the public sewers a number of tin boxes filled with powder. They have been deposited at the prefecture of police. Mani seizures of arms of all kinds have been made in vitae houses. Several carriages were requisite to convey them all to the prefecture of police. These arms, almost without exception, be longed to the national guard. The Constitutionnel contradicts the reports of the state prisoners being ill-treated. With regard to Vincennes in particular, it is stated that the prisoners there are lodged in the apartments formerly occupied by the Prince de Joinville, and that General Courugis pays them every attention. The following are the principal points of the circu lar sent by the Minister of the Intenor to the prefects at departments relative to the mode of taking of votes in the appeal to the people : The votes are to be taken on the 20th and 21st inst. The electors are to be the persons who would be entitled to vote in virtue of the electoral law of the 15th March, 1849, that is to say, all those not labouring under certain specified disqualifications who are twenty-one years of age, an d have resided six months at least in a commune. The junto are to be published at the latest on the 16th, and are to tosfieftni tively closed on the 19th. Citizens whose names are omitted may call on the mayors or juges de pat: to insert them. The voting is to be continued each day from eight o'clock to four. Where the population is too large to voteentirely in one place, sections may be established. rho presidency of the bureau of the voting places is to be occupied by mayors deputy-mayors, and municipal councillors, or in their absence by persons delegated by juges de pair. Each bu reau is to consist of a president, four assessors, sad a sects tary chosen by them from amongst the electors. The asses sore are to be taken from amongst the municipal coos calor', in the order of inscription, unless the juges do pair shall have directly proceeded to designate them. Electors are to bring their voting papers ready prepared. They are to contain the word " Yes" or " No," as an answer to the proposition submitted to the people by the Pre sident of the Republic. They may be printed or written and are to be on white paper, without exterior marks. When his name is called, the elector is to present his voting paper closed, and the president is to deposit it in the baitub box. This box is to have two locks, the key of one of which is to be kept by the president, the other by the senior assessor. The vote of each elector is to be recorded tthe signature or mark of one of the ossembers of bureau in the margin of the list. The names of the electors who may not have voted are to be called over. The ballot boxes are to be sealed up, and deposited during =ialght at the Marie, and be protected by a post of the mat or the army. The room containing tit , * been b es be sealed *p.
