If this be the dreaded philosophy of the PROUDIIONS and the &metes SUES, it cannot require the changing of the fundamental law, the gag ging of the press, and the restriction of universal suffrage, to control it. This socialism we have bad among ourselves for a long time, and still have. Nay, we have many others of the kind, which, when they show themselves, are effectually combated by pub licity, and argument, and ridicule. The idea of establishirg the Jesuits, rendering the police omnipo tent, and encamping the army under tents in the squares of Paris, in order to defend society against an insurrection of bank notes, would never have entered the head of a sober Englishman. Is i reply to questions from several honourable rs memben the 'lows of C 302010118 yesterday, Lord Jour IttISSELL formally announced the appr.acuing retirement of Lord COTTENHAM from the high p *Won he so long has filled with honour to himself and satisfaction to the public. No prospect any longer being reasonably afforded of his regaining the physical strength which is necessary for the discharge of the onerous duties connected with his office, the venerable j edge has placed the great seal at the disposal of the prime minister. Ile retains it ad interim only fur :he purpose of concha big the heartvg of certain case. in his list, in order that parties may not be put to the vexatious delay and expense of a rehearing before his successor. But these matters once coucludel, Lord COTTENtiAM withdraws into private life to nernit by case and quiet his some what impaired frame, and to enjoy the respect of all who value as they merit the claims of private in tegrity and public worth. An at empt is made by one of the organs of the proteciimists to turn this natural and inevitable occur rence to account by way of reproach to the First Minister. A tale of circumstantial commonplace is given, ith wondrous inuendo thereunto &wended, in order to prove that L erd COTTENTIAM, albeit the very best 'of chancellors, was unwilling to perform the act of abdication, and tio.t he required an official hint that the time for his doing so was come, before he could bo induced to take that final step. Our scandal-loving contemporary scruples not, moreover, to intimate in terms not over nice, that the aforesaid hint was given in • manner the least considerate and ambiguous. For our parts we are free to own that not being either skilled it experienced in the ways of obtaining each intelligence, we know not what communications may have passed on a given dey between the private dwellings of two high person ages : nor do we believe that the right-thinking mass of the community have the slightest cariosity on the subject. All the public are concerned to know is, whether an exalted judicial office has loom vacated a good and sufficient reason. In the pre sent instance there can be no doubt that such has been the case. No honest friend or admirer of Lord Correanam would suggest that, having ceased to be abie to do his duty, he rrquirel to be reminded that he ought to resign ; and it is equally impossible that any one who has the least conception of the moral and political responsibilities attaching to the office of Prime Minister could deubt the propriety of the act, if requisite to be performed, which Lord JOHN RUSSELL is aseaiied for performing. Either the whole story is a tissue of vul gar gossip, destitute alike of sense or founds ation, or the Minis'ar hu proved himself in the painful circumstances of a peculiar case, less mindful of private feelings than of pub' c interests, and as such entitled to anything rather than censure. But in any case, it is the emptie st sham of sympathy or consideration for the retiring functionary to affect con cern en his account, when the story implies a lack of promptitude or self-denial on his part in the perform ance of a palpable act of duty. We turn to more profitable subjects of inquiry. What is to be done with the Oreot Seal ? and upon what terms is it in future to be held P A very prevalent rumour has bctn that no appoint ment to the Woolsack would take place at present. The urger of business in the Court of Cnancery could probably be cleared off as speedily, if not as satifac tardy, were the seal placed in commission. The ex pedient is an easy, although we own we think some what an objectionable, one. No great mischief that w • are aware of, has ever oeen alleged as the result of a re sort to this course on former occasions. It serves to fill an interval of suspense, during which the fitness and claims of the candidates fee the highest secular dignity in the realm may be maturely weighed ; and there are many considerations why the choice of a new Chancellor may be incoavelient in the middle of a parliamentary session. On the other hand it is difficult to understand why individual pre tensions should not have been practically weighed and determined ere the actual necessity has arisen ; or if not, why they might not be brought to a speedy and definite adjustment. A protracted period of suspense is, in other words, a prolonged opportunity for in trigue. No suitor in Chancery would, in all probabi lity choose, had he the choice, to have his suit deter mined by the judgment of three commissioners, instead of a Lord Chancellor: and undoubtedly the public seam of uncertainty as to the destined occu pant of the Woolsack is felt by the public to be in witty ways an evil. In the present instance, however, there are peculiar circumstances that may excuse if they do not neces sitate some degree of delay. In answer to a question from Mr. WILSON PATTEN, the Chairman of the Select Committee on Public Salaries, Lord JOHN ltusseu. stated that the practicability of dissevering the political from the judicial functions of the chan cellorship was under the consideration of the govern ment. A very strong desire has long been enter tained in favour of this alteration, and it is obvious that if it be resolved upon, a different selection would possibly bo made from that which upon the old footing is likely to occur. The amount of salary, retiring al lowance, &c., will necessarily be modified thereby; and without pointing to individuals of eminent station as illustrations of our meaning, eve ry one will easily imagine the different degrees of attraction which the office, as it stands, must possess, from that which either half of it would present, were it to be parti tioned. _ _ . Until this prior question, therefore, is definitively settled, all speculation as to the persons on whom the gilts ut fortune may descend, must be premature. Our only wishes on the aukject are that the judicial may he divided from the political responsibilities hereto- fore conjoined, and that the beat men who can be found will be eLlected for each function, without re gard to interest or faction.

Ova neighbours, the French, have certainly a most deplorable mania for rooting up political foun dations; they have tried all kinds of monarchic s and governments. Their first was based on legitimacy : we know what they did with it. Then came a mili tary one : what it cost and how it ended is in all men's memories. Then came a charter granted by a legitimate monarch, an admixture of rights, constitu tional and divine. This might have lasted till now, but for the NIONTALEMBER'n of that day, who robed the monarchy in a Jesuit's frock, and the people forth with kicked it oat of the country. Then came the monarchy of the barricades and the middle classes. The same opposition of professional men and middle classes, wl , ich upset all its predeces sors, upset it. Last, though not least, came universal suffrage, the broadest of base, surely. But the same professional opposition is al ready burrowing into and undermining this basis. After its uprooting, there will be nothing left to the French but to scatter into tribes, like the Arabs, and live each family under its tint ; so that, instead of France civilising Algeria, it is Algeria that is re constituting France in its own image. It cannot be pretended that universal suffrage comes out at once a pure marble statue from the block. Much might be fairly done to polish and to chip from it those excrescences that but disfigure it. That eon. elute, that mere vagrants, and the habitually house less, should be refused a vote, who will gainsay I' But any amendment or tnodificition of universal suffrage in a country like France, where in truth it is the sole political anchor, ought to have been under taken calmly and fairly ; for by making it a mere matter of ven geance, and retaliation, and party manceavre, it en sures the reversal one day or another of all that ha., been done, be it ever so wise or necemary. Fur our part it is not so much the new electoral law that disgusts us, as the occasion and the way in which it has been introduced, the tote and the argu ments by which it has been supported. The conduct of the conservatives and ministerialists in the Assem bly has been that, throughout, of the most extravagant madmen, whilst the attitude of the Mountain, as it is called, has been comparatively rational and calm. No eloquence could be more magni ficent than that of VICTOR Moo, more simple and conclusive than that Of CAVAIONAC, more prophetic than that of LAMARTINg, who all three denounced the new law. In reply, M. DE MONTALEN BERT raged and denounced, more like an inquisitor of PHI LIP TUE SECOND, than an educated gentleman of the nineteenth century. Nothing was more femible or facile than to defend the law on the ground that it improved universal suffrage, that it eicluded merely the waifs and the enemies of society, that it did no violence, concealed no revolution ; that it was not introduced as vengeance or reprisal, bat that it was the sober act of fair and reflecting and unimpassioned men. Not one of the orators of the right side of the Assembly, however, took such a line as this. Not one of them stooped to reasoning or even to plausibility. All mounted their war steeds, drew their swords, and blew their trumpets. The first Musuolmen in the days of MAW:MET were not more furious or more fanatic. M. DE MONTALEMBERT clearly spoke the senti ments that anima'ed him and his party, when in de scribing this law, he represented it es the first march of a campaign—the first step "of the new Roman expedition which it was requisite to make into the interior of France." As Louis XIV., who directed his dragonnadts to put down the protestants of the Cevennes, so would the modern Louvois' crush the political malcontentism, which is called socialism. And this is to be done by the sword, by violence, by war. So says the head of the reli gions party in France ! M. Aaaoo rose up to complain that by such a speech as this, M. MONTALEMBERT was uttering pro vocations to civil war. Au observation more calm, more lust, or more ailed for, was never uttered. Yet up starts immediately the President Dueirt, battles and insults M. ARAGO, calling him to order for his remark, in a tissue of effrontery and falsehood that no JET/TRIES or BRADSUAW amongst us, or nolt'oucn THIN VILLE in France ever excelled. The blood of en Englishman boils at reading such outrageous insults offered to a whole side of an Assembly. Such brutal ty ranny explains that old and hitherto inexplicable in veteraoy which caused the members of the Conven tion to proscribe and decimate each other. M. MILER in his speech accused the mob of Paris of having hauled down NAPOLEON'S statue, and dragged tt by the neck with a cord. What more natural, than that M. NAPOLEON BONAPARTE should start up in his place to contradict this, and to allege that it was not the people of Paris, but the Allies, who precipitated the statue of NAPOLEON from his column? President Du PIN, however,was as furious agai n s' young NAPOLEON for defending the popularity of his uncle, as he had been spinet M. ARAOO for accusinz M. Monseinuseier of preaching a holy war. And the Assembly actually pa.eed • vote of censure against M. NAPOLEON BONAPARTE for what in him was as act of filial piety and historical fustiee! The most singular speech uttered in the whole course of the debate was that of WI. THUM M. ue MONTALAMDEZT bad denounced socialism in his usual way, as a specie which was to af fright, a monster that was to ( vour, and as a legionary army ag anst wh ' eh it was nem,- eery to aim and to take the field. Following M. Hit MONTALEMBERT, his friend, M. Tinges, undertook FRANCE. . . • .• PARIS, TIIIISDLY EVIIIIING. It Ito obserekd render that the legitimist', With Ike single ' eteeption . et M, Fannin, voted :eall the amendments moved to the secnd sr t:the Bleetoral Law. It is reported that many sincere mu of that party were not left to vote ao cording to their 00111101anoss, but were influenced by a letter of the Duke of Bardeaux to M. Berryer, ex pressing the gratification it would afford him t o find r the supporters of his cause united on this question, ail arrayed on Ow side of the govseament. This is 41•111 of the first im ia rrtant symptoms which have sp rz2in the le tare of the eoandon effected be .th. twoßourbon branches. The representatives of the Haute-Garonne yester day waited on the President of the Republic, to re quest him to procure a cardinal's hat for Monseigneur d'Astros, Archbishop of Toulouse. M. de Remind officiated n s p okesman. The prelate is the senior Archbishop of France. A tit. Quentin journal states that it is able ton nooses with certainty, that the President of the Re pubto has promised the prefect to be present at the inauguration of the railway on Jane 9. The Marquis de Ware, who has just died, has left a large fortune, to whioh there are no direct heirs. Oat of four millions which he possessed he has bequeathed two millions to the Count de Chambord, and another large sum to the Prince de Robeeq, Gaston de Montmo rency, saying in the will, that the sum was intended to pay the debts which M. de Montmorency had con tracted in doing good. Some disturbance took place on the 22nd at Goa zenucourt, near Cambray, in consequence of a man named Canis= placing himself in a wine-shop with a petition against the Electoral Bill before him, and endeavouring to persuade persons to sire it, using en treaty or menace u the case might be. Several persons, however, expressed their disapprobation of such con duct, and the deputy mayor having arrived, re , preached Cattiaux with his conduct. A general scene of disorder ensued, in the course of which Cattiaux was severely beaten. The next day great agitation prevailed, and appreher sions were entertained of a renewal of the disturbance. Two men, named Dupont and Perret, who are said to have taken part in the recent democratic socialist agitation at Valence, have just been arrested and taken to Lyons. The café Heurter, where the ultra demagogues were accustomed to meet, has been closed by order of the military authorities. • The debate in the Legislative Assembly yesterday was interrupted by a terrific thunder -storm, which so darkened the house that the lamps had to be lit. Pierre Leroax having qualified, in the course of his speech, Robespierre and Murat all illustrious citizens, was btited by enraged members, who bawled to him from the foot of the tribune that he lied, and that his heroes were infamous scelerats. Dupin said that he could sot allow the hon. member to apply the term illutrious" toe couple of atrocious villains, but at the same time called M. Estancelin to order for his disorderly attack upon the speaker. Excellent speeches were made by MM. Dupont de Busse and Come throwing much light on the pre jadicial way in which the domicile clause will work. To-day the debate was resumed on the separate articles of the Electoral Law. The discussion opened upon the third article, which relates to the modes of attesting the electoral domicile, namely, by amessmeut for the personal tax, highway duty, or the certificate of mu ter or employer. M. Randot opposed the article. MM. Sain and Larabit moved amendmeats, which were rejected. M. Monnet proposed an amendment tending to admit all kinds of evidence calculated to establish the existence of the principal residence, as required by Article 2. Nothing can be a better sample of the unfair dealing of the majority than their refusal to discuss M. Moaners amendment. M. Leon Faucher said that the committee opposed the amendment. M. Monnet is a member of the tiers parti. His amendment drives only at facilitating the proof of three years' domiciliatioo. There can be orly one motive far throwing out such a proposition, which is to keep in the hands of the masters and parents of voters the control over the certificate of domicile which is given them by the bill, and to reduce the number of voters qualified as to domiciliation, by besetting with as many difficulties as possible the way of attesting the qualification. M. Monnet be solght the majority not to drive from their side members like Himself, who supported their general policy by manifeatimc an unconciliatory and illiberal disposition. A voice from the Right replied that doubtful auxiliaries were not wanted. General Lamoriciere inquired whether the reporter of the committee would assign any reasons for re jecting the amendment of of Monnet. (Silence.) The committee, then, would give no reasons. M.llaroche said the amendment was similar to others which had been already rejected. General Lamuriciere inferred that the amendment was rejec'ed because it was com prehensive. Much had been said of the necessity of moralising the elector by making him vote among his neighbours. Ile aid his friends uccepted that cbject, but could not see how it would be impeded by ad mitting as many facilities as possible for establishing the electoral domicile. When the object was to impose an obligation instead of granting a right, the law 4 was much more avommodating. Thus for the recruitment the inscriptions were made first on the declarations of young people or their parents; bat also on informa tion furnished by all sorts of persons. But such information was rejected in the present instance. Evidence which would be admitted before the justice of peace or civil tribunal was not allowed by the majority for establishing the right to vote. (M. Berryer demanded to speak.) General Lamoriciere continned—But the truth was, they (the majority) wanted to establish, not a domiciliary, but a tax quali fication. Why could they not say so frankly at once ? The French liked frankness, and had too much good sense to be hoodwinked. M. Berryer opposed the amendment. An inter ruption by General Leydet, who protested against the insulting mode in which M. Berryer spoke of the Left ai the party of disorder, caused him to be called to order by the president. General Leydet is a con vert from the legitimist party, a fact which gave the salt to a mot which produced roars of laughter. Gen. Lamoricitre re-ascended the tribune to support the amendment, and maintained that the condition of the franchise once fixed every fscility ought to be given for proving those conditions. M. Leon Faucher proceeded to reply to General Lamo rielere. Finally, M. Mounet's amendment having been put to the vote was rejected by a large majority. The amendment proposed by M. Combarel de Leyval that the lists already drawn up should serve for at testing the domicile, was rejected without discussion. The first paragraph on Art. 3 was then voted by a large majority. The house adjourned at half-past six. The amendment of M. Gustave de Beaumont and M. Vesin will be discussed to morrow. The Fives rose last night at the Passage de l'Opera to 91fr. 10c. on the announcement of the adoption of the tad article of the Electoral Bill by the Assembly. The same stock opened this morning at 90.90, to close at 90.75, a fall of 10c. on yesterday. The success of the Electoral Law and the disappearance of alarm as to Inieule, have caused on the whole a rise of 4 per cent. The annual menage of the Preaident to the As sembly is talked about as on the eve of being de li vered. The President is expected to express empha tically his concurrence with the majority, and hie determination to strengthen the order by the most energetio mesas within the law. After the electoral law, will come a series of bills all following up the blow dealt on universal suffrage. The press, political domicile, transportation, mayors, national guard, will all be arranged in their turn con formably to the taste of the majority. The vacation is not expected to commence till August.

The hall wee crowded with ladiee, and deputies, high functionaries, officers, and inernhc re of the clergy. The tribunal was composed of e . ght councillors and twelve jurymen. After a speech fro a the president, M. Mazza, on the importance of the case, the jury were sworn ; they were compoici of men of all opinions and ages. An empty arm -chair occupied the centre of the hall. The president an nounced that M. Franznni, at present cut.flotd in the citadel, had refused to appear, and that conseqnently he must be trisd by default. The court dead itself authorised by law to force ti e pr'son rto ap pear, or to judge him is his absence. It then decided that the latter course should be followed, as a pa wner who refused to answer could throw to further light on the case. The secretary then read the indictment and the sentence of the sret:rn of criminal inatructicn authorising the trial. The president explained to the pry the object of the trial, namely, that M. Franzeni, aged sixty-two, Archbishop of Turin, according to Art. 21 of the law on the press, was accused of an offence ageinst the respect due to the luxe of the state, by pub:i- , ing and distributing a circular, dated April the I , th.

GERMANY. CIRCULAR NOTE OF THE PRUSSIAN GOVERNMENT. I can say with justice that the result of the tares is tracquilleilq and satisfactory. His Majesty, our vicious master, with the !make:is' which beams so grave and solemn a moment, decared at tae outset to the assembled princes and repress :tatives of the tree towns that for his own part he was ready to tulfi! all the obligations he had takes upon himself, and advance in the way thty had jointly entered upon: that he, however, imposed no constraint on the frees will of any of his allies, bat on the contrary regarded their own freely formed dews Initiations as alone binding for all of them ; that he wishe.! them not to conceal from thews lees the earnest aspect of tint s, the possible cons. quenc A fur themselves of adhe rir.: 1. the league (Bund) ; but to commit only the interest o: t •. own territories and the prosperity of their subjects ; a!,-1 that he, therefore, entreated them before pr ocee fur•.!. r to decide whether they would abide by the fundera• principle of the union, by wbi h he for his part was pr....r. •si to stand last, and express their decision; after they hat it would be the proper time foe corning to an undere:ao ' which would then be a matter of little difficulty as to h a principle was to have practical effect given i: in real:, t ct'" , constitution of the union, and incorporating it into tf C3llll. Ration of the Germanic Confederation. fer- It ailed his Majesty with lively satisfatti n and gr for the c3nlilence dill evinced in his, to dud tha: princes, and also the free towns, declared their adhesion t 3 the alliance with Prussia. The next question for consideration b.xe utlu the in which the realisatima of the objects of the uni be effected, u well with regard to the relation. of i.s bees among themselves, as to their Gammon eels:int , conference in Franlvort, to which the Austrian; v:. had invited them. This was the subject of the four ministerial eincu!• of which the discussions and resolutions are comailic.: protocols of the four meetings, Yon will learn from these protocols the position an 1 of each of the governments and the tenor of the d : rations. --- Prussia had declared from the beginning that aczept the moditications proposed by the Erfurt piel and it therefore, but wi'hout waiving its right to c the parliament to make turther amendments. he4l revised constitution was valid in law. . Prussia tound itself supported in this view ht the in of the allied governments, but as the a•seut of all the bets of the union was found to be unattainable. i! possible to carry the constitution of the union into Onto execution. . . It was, therefore, necessary to attribute a provisions racter to the union. You will learn Iron the protocols the nature of th sional union, and the steps which are to be talwu blish it. . With regard to the position to be assumed by • princes at the cont. rence in Frankfort, the c consultations which have been held on the n le .tt` sued there, have shown that in all essentials the trs; t the allied governments are entirely agreed. Mecklenburg-Strelite alone took no part in the.. ,'n,t• • ' - lions; Electoral Hesse, although agreeinz with tl'c eth in the main, reserved a right of inarpendrnf ae•ion -r. points; and the envoy of Ducal Hesse was only Ott 'T.' d to receive and report toe resolutions for the ultimate of his government.
