A morning more pregnant with the destinies of Christendom will never before have dawned over Europe. It will be the initial of a new civilization. Unless the ground yawns under the feet of the Parisians, and swallows up the whole hope of posterity, the first day of the convocation of the National Assembly will be the commencement of an epoch of emancipation and fraternity. In that memorable and illustrious Parliament of Democrats the bloom of the patriotism of France will be visible THE SUN, LONDON,__ gAlrt t .lYAi r EVPNING, APRIL 20., 1803. in the congregation of her most d;stinguishei citlzers ; all the genius, all the heroism, all the ex perience, all the aspirations, all the devotion o youth and all the wisdom of age, all the fervour of phi losophy and all the reliance of religion, will be re flected in the hearts of those Republican Legislators. called upon to answer or plead thereto. We find, it laid down in " Blackstone's Commentaries" (vul. iv., p. 308), " that the usual oljects of an information ez -officio are properly such enormous misdemeanours as peculiarly tend to disturb or endanger th e Queen's Gorernment, or to violate or affect her in the regular discharge of her royal functions." Such, for instance, as " seditious or blasphemous libels or weds," &c. &c. It will, therefore, at once be manifest how appropriate is such a mode of proceeding to the offences charged against the traversers. In fact the very reason for granting this extraordinary power was that persons guilt• of such conduct should he promptly and speedily brought to justice, and not permitted to interpose the delays to which they would be entitled in ordinary cases, and to continue their trischievous proceedings, influencing the popular mind, and exciting the passions of the people during the intermediate period before they could be consigned to their well-deserved punishment. As a spectacle—simply as a spectacle—the first meeting of the National Assembly will be an his torical incident of a very extraordinary character. It will present in one magnificent group the most con spicuous men in a remarkable age—an age of great ness in a hundred departments of intellectual enter prize. The patriarch of three revolutions, the con temporary of the Conventionalists, the sanguine and impassive spectator of all those wonderful vicissitudes which chequered the careers of such men as MIRA VERGNIAUD, ROBESPIERRE, and NI APOLES*I will sit aide by tide with the youthful emissaries of the south, upon whose cheeks the down of pubescence hss scarcely appeared, whose eyes are still sparkling with the hilarity of childhood, and whose lips have hardly acquired the trick of a masculine compression. Upon the same bench with the vener able DUPONT (the VADIER of a more peaceful era!) may be ranged the Baaaastotix and the L oUY BTS of a new and more fortunate Gironde. The silvered hair Of BER•NGER may contrast with the sombre locks of that cowled orator of the Benedictines, whose utter ance is an inspiration not unworthy of BoSSUET. Next to LACORDAIRE may be recognised the spiri tuelle but somewhat lugubrious visage of DE Lam sumais. There will be seen the swarthy form of DUMAS, and cheek-by-jowl with the great .feuilletonivt the Hebrew features of the abstruse CREMIEtI, or the boy-face of the petit Louis BLaNc. In one direction will be the creator of Quasimodo, in another the delineator of Dagobert, and, were there not a tacit disqualification against the admission of petticoats, we doubt not but that Madame DUDEVANT herself would rival by her legislative declamation the efforts of those contempo rary novelists. CORMENIN will be there with much of the cynicism a nd more of the improvisation of a true Timon. EMILE GIRARDIN will more readily redeem the accidental anomalies of his position in the trillune of a senator than in thecabinet of a journalist. His eccentric moderation may not, by some happy fatality, be contrasted with the ultra-extravagance of an ALBERT or a FLOCON. In the midst of this diversi fied assemblage of representatives, mien of agriculture and men of manufactures, dreamers of poetry and ri , etoricians of the pulpit, writers of romances and -cribes fur the theatres, sculptors, painters, tragedians, comedians, farmers, advocates, journalists, monks, rtizans, merchants—in the midst of all these, sym pathising with all these, beloved by all these, one re publican will maintain a certain amount of pre-emi nence—himself a poet, a journalist, a romancist, an Historian, an orator, and a statesman. Every lip will nave expressed the name of this great citizen before it . is written, every heart will say, it is the author of Jocelyn," the biographer of the Girondists, thu Byron of France, the most touching of the pilgrims of Palestine—the chief mover, the Voice, and the Genius of the Revolution of February. Every tongue will have articulated the name of LAMARTINE, and every bosom will have glowed with the anticipa tion of his election by the National Assembly as the President of the French Republic. Scarcely twenty-four hours since we could not have indulged in these tranquil reveries as to the future progress of events among the Parisians. Now we can and do indulge in them with a boundless con fidence, satisfied that the gulf of peril has been over leaped. Of course we have as yet received very little more than an inkling of the result of the elec tions in the metropolis and the departments- We must await the arrival of the ultimate intelligence , with tranquillity. Nevertheless, enough information has already reached our shores to demonstrate the complete discomfiture of the ultra-revolutionary party, represented in the Provisional Government by the four principal Communists, LEDRU ROLLIE LOUIS BLANC, FERDINAND FLOCON, and ALBERT A more glorious triumph to the Moderates led by LAMARTINE could not by any possibility have been achieved. Everywhere they are proving victorious — in the capital as well as in the departments. Every where the horror entertained for the Communist- Montagnards is testified by the majorities given to their antagonists. BLANQUI will be compelled to practise his aptitude for conspiracy upon his own tacticians, like the scorpion exhausting the venom of It may, however, be said that the Attorney- General, having, in the first instance adopted the common course and indicted the parties, should not have afterwards altered his mode of proceeding, and had recourse to his extraordinary privilege, and that the defendants were thereby subjected to inconve • nience, and had some reason to complain. There might be some justice in this argument if the grand jury had ignored the bills that were sent before them. In such a case, although the privilege would still have remained to tile Attorney- General, and he would have been fully authorised to charge them by ex officio information, it would be generally regarded as an oppressive exercise of power, and the public sympathies would be excited in favour of the persons who had been thus harshly dealt with. Almost the last case of this description was that of the Orange rioters at the Theatre Royal, ILIA kins -street, when a bottle- was flung at. the Marquis %VELLESLEY, the then. Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland, for which Lord PLITNHET, ho, at that time, filled the office of Attorney-General, filed ex officio informations, after the bills for exactly the same charge had been thrown out by the grand jury. In the present instance, however, nothing of this descrip. tion has taken place. The bills were found (we believe unanimously) by the grand jury. No question could exist that the matters charged were proper subjects for investigation before the Court. A purely technical objection, not going in the slightest degree to the merits of the case, was, however, put forward by Mr. MITCHELL, who had previously boasted that he would interpose no difficulty of any kind to a full and fair investigation, but that he would be as ready to meet the law officers in a court :of justice as he would the forces of the Government in the field. Notwithstanding the boldness of his language, when the time for pleading had arrived, a plea in abatement, or what is termed a dilatory plea, was filed, objecting to the constitution of the grand jury, because one of the grand jurors was also a member of the Town Council. Although there was little weight in the objection, it was at once perceived that the arguments thereon, followed most probably by an appeal to the Exchequer Chamber, and from thence to the House of Lords, would retard the final decision for at least six months, if not for a still longer period, and that in the meantime the defendants would persevere in the insane and reckless manner which had rendered them so painfully notorious. It was, there fore, wisely and judiciously determined by the autho rities to abandon the indictment, and to commence de 7tollo by filing informations, on which speedy judg ment might be obtained. We venture to affirm that no well-disposed persons can be found to dissent from the propriety of such a course, or to censure the law officers for having had recourse thereto. Mr MITCHELL may, perhaps, find that his boast is rather unpleasantly realised, and that he will find himself face to face with the ministers of justice more spee dily than he anticipated. His partisans and ad mirers may be bitterly disappointed, but the rest of the community will applaud the vigorous and decisive conduct of the Irish Attorney-General. About seventy years ago (in 1777), when the dy nasty of the old Bourbons reigned supreme in France, and when England was as yet paramount in America, a young Frenchman, hardly twenty years of age, possessed of high rank, large fortune, and powerful friends in his native country, left them all, and, in spired by the enthusiasm of an ardent temperament and a sublime devotion to the cause of liberty, pro ceeded to the new world to take part in the struggle for independence there commencing. He fought as a volunteer in the ranks of the American patriots, he shared in the peril 3 and glories of the first desperate battles which signalised the American war, and his courage and genius elicited the thanks of the Ame rican Congre-s. But not his single arm only did he devote to the liberal cause ; he raised and equipped soldiers at his own expense. He returned to his native country to procure reinforcements, and with them again proceeded to signalise himself in the great struggle. And so much did he there signalise himself that his name became identified with Ameri can independence. So strenuous and so powerful were his exertions, and so successful were his endeav , urs, that it was said, with the ex aggeration of poetical license, that he "a vingt ans, d'un inowle etait l'appui." But with the glorious termination of his American career the wonderful events of his existence were by no means ended. Returned to his native country, he then took part in another struggle for emancipation—a struggle more desperate, more blood-stained, and in conse quence hardly so glorious as the one in which he had played so prominent a part. Here also his post was not insignificant. He witnessed the downfil of the once powerful Bourbon throne but while aiding in the overthrow of that throne he was also—and to his honour be it remembered—instrumental in preserving (for a time) its unfortunate tenants. Marvellous, in deed, were the events which transpired during that one man's life. he beheld a French Republic striving to emulate the great democracies of old, he saw that Republic fall, and give way to an empire which far eclipsed the glory of its most glorious prede cessors. That too succumbed to the resistless force of circumstances, and the Bourbon dynasty once more filled the throne of France. Yet the wonders of this individual history were not yet terminated. He, who almost in his boyhood had stood forward as one of the leaders in a mighty revolution, appeared again in his veteran age, when passed the allotted life of man, as a conspicuous partisan in another revolu tion, which once more (and fur the last time) hurled the old Bourbon race from the throne of CHARLE. Tit C And substituted in thrir place one who was fondly deemed a " Citizen King." Had that veteran Republican lived a few years longer he would have had cause to believe, indeed, in the mutability of for tune, if the experience of his chequered life had not already taught him that lesson. But we, who hare before us the records of his life —we, looking upon the events of the present day, cannot fail to be struck by the marvellous chain of events therein chronicled, and more especially we cannot in consequence fail to he in a peculiar degree interested by that event which has just now recalled the name of LAFAYETTE to our memory—an event which transpired last \Vednesday, when the Republic of the United States of America, by the mouth of their Represen tative in France, tendered their recognitions and congratulations to the Republic of France. The American Ambassador was among the first to acknowledge the new Government of France ; but still acknossledgment was necessarily tendered with out the cognizance of his Government. Now, how ever, the astonishing tidings of French emancipation has reached the ears and agitated the heart of the sister Republic of America, and the expressions of the joyful sympathy and cordial amity of America have been from thence dispatched to France. The address of the American Minister was responded to by kMAItLINE—by that Foreign Minister who is so peculiarly happy in his various answers to the very various deputations which he is officially called upon to receive. Commencing hie discourse with an appropriate allusion to the former friendship of France and America, and alluding to the fact of the Ameri can being the first official recognition of the French Republic.—" France was the first," he said, " to recognise the independence of the American Re public, then young, weak , a nd still contested , but which under the fruitful influe nee of the democ ratic century to increas e to the proportions of neat...), a principle was destined in h i alf a whole continent. By it has belonged the restrictive justice of POTIDENCE lits sting on its own entrails, when girdled by a ring of fire. CARET finds even before the appropriate month of April has terminated that a mine has morally been sprung under the haunts of the anarchists, even at the moment when those inarchists have been making excavations to the ,owder•magazines in the cellars of the Hotel de Ville. SOBRIIR must disband his body-guard of mountaineers in dudgeon, and, supposing he feels so disposed, to annihilate the remembrance of his i.ea souous schemes against liberty, he will find his crim son sash (until yesterday the insignia of sedition) in admirable substitute for a halter. Even PIERRE Leaoux will have discovt red by this time the neces• sty of slinking back into a more congenial obscurity ; -ind the Provisional Minister of the Interior may speedily have more leisure to disport himself, in the bonnet rouse, in the saloons of Versailles knd Rambouillet. Particulars of the proportionate !lumber of votes, already counted out of the urns of Paris, will be found in another column, and in every instance those particulars will prove to be fraught with advantage to the Moderates, and especially calculated to attest the admiration of the people for LANIARTINR. In the first arrondissement, for exampled it seems that, as elsewhere, the name of the Provisional Minister for Foreign Affairs heads the list of the thirty-four successful canditates, 17,800 out of 19,000 votes having been awarded to him by that division of the Parisians. A similar result will be found ap • pended to almost every other table of calculations, and satisfactory intelligence as to the majorities awarded to the moderate candidates has been received from the departments of the Aines, Aube, Doubs, Eure, Indre et Loire, Maine et Loire, Nievre, &c. &c. In defiance of the intimidation, the intrigues, and the corruption of the anarchists, in spite of the violence of the commissaries, the degradation of judges, the dismissal of magistrates, and the threats suspended over the populace by the , missaries of M.

Jour( MITCHELL, THOMAII and WILLIAM SMITH O'BRIEN, because Gutl ' a prosegui was entered to the indictment against the "le figurer gentleman on Wednesday, and similar rules w ere on Thursday obtained in those against the other nernbers of the triumvirate. It is, however, due to the IAW officers of the Crown in that country, who have riitherto acted so efficiently and discreetly, combining a wise and temperate but firm administration of the law with moderation and mercy, that this mistake should be corrected, and that the real state of the case ,hould be fully explained. The prosecutions have not been abandoned, although they will be carried on in a different form from that in which they were , eig,rinally instituted. Juries will have to try the parties in the same manner, and for the same offences, and if convictions are obtained, exactly the saute punishment will await the offenders. The Attor ney:G eneral is a u th o ri s ed, by virtue of his office, to file a formal written of suggestion an offence com mitted, in the Court of Queen's Bench, without the intervention of a grand jury.

That signature will bring good fortune to the Republic." After expressing his conviction that Republicanism would en• dure in France, because he believed the French people to be ripe for their institutions ; be cause " what had fifty-five years back been only the idea of the superior men of the nation, had passed into the ideas and habits of the whole people," he concluded his observation by the following most ex pressive and felicitously appropriate sentiment, by which he sought to convey the expression of the sensibility and gratitude with which France responds to the friendly assurances of America. Every Frenchman," he said, " has for the Americans the heart of LAFAYETTE." Every Frenchman has for the Americans the heart of LAFAYETTE. All the eloquence of LAMARTINE himself would have been incapable of ex pressing more than is comprised in those few words. This little incident may be regardel as the noblest monument that could be erected to the memory of LAFAYETTE. Now that his eventful career is closed, and his zealous exertions are at an end, his name is invoked as a bond of union between France and America, those two great countries equally dear to his heart. It is invoked as a bond of union at a time when Republicanism is established in both countries —when both are possessed of the full enjoyment of liberty—of that liberty to whose sacred cause LA FAYETTE devoted his life from the early days of his boyhood to his extreme old age. It is right, then, that in the mutual felicitations of Republican France and Republican America, LAFAYETTE should be re membered, and that remembrance is, as we have said, the noblest monument to his name. pui4liqut: pis le tribunal de la Seine, 73,000 ; (1,!

The Reforrae states, that a telegraphic dispatch has been received, announcing the election of Citizens FRANCOIS ETIENNE and EMMINUIEL ARAGO at Per pignan. The Moniteur contains a decree, signed by the members of the Provisional Government, commanding all proprietors of mortgaged property to make a de claration of the same to the Minibter of Finance, under penalty of being obliged to pay the tax of one per cent. imposed on the owners of such mortgages I,y a decree of the Provisional Government published on the 19th instant. The Provisional Government bias given up the idea of purchasing the different lines of railway for the State, and the question is left to he dealt with by the National Assembly. The National contains the following announcement on the subject : " The Provisional Government had the intention of purchasing the different lines of railway for the state. We have so often said what we think of this measure, as to render it unnecessary to repeat the advantages which would flow from it to both contracting parties. Un fortunately, certain directors, interested in the prolonga tion of their splendid salaries, have not taken the realities of the situation into account, and have made very strong and numerous protests against the project of the Government. From these protests and complaints they proceeded to accusation and attack; the words spo liation and confiscation were pronounced, and the real difficulties of the question were furthercomplicated by new difficulties invented by malevolence. In presence of this calculated hostility, what ought the Government to have done ? Without doubt it might, by employing the dic tatorial power with which it was legitimately investet on its formation, have broken dcwn all obstacles, and decreed the purchase; but the prudence and spirit of justice which it has displayed in its acts have caused it to adopt quite another line of conduct. It has preferred to abstain, and to submit to the National Assembly the project which it had conscientiously studied, alter having obtained the best information, and taken the opinion of special men, after having taken that of interested par ties. It is therefore the Assembly which will have to decide the question. Such is at least the opinion, which a mere credited day after day, and which Is justified by the delay which has taken place in the publication of the decree." The Commerce notices, as follows, the first part of a report of the Commission of the Luxembourg : " The General Commis:ion sitting at the Luxembourg has just commenced the publication, in the Ifleniteur, of the general account of its labours. M. Louis Blanc does not appear to have lost one of his adu-ions, notwith standing the unfavourable reception which all France has given to his theories. According to the lion. President of the Commission, the &mutat of what he is pleased to call the regime of antagonism and hatred is imminent, and society only aspires to enter with full sail in the waters of socialism. • Perhaps,' he observes, perhaps the fall may be retarded by some temporary compro mises, and for our part we shall not refuse to prop up with all our power that old edifice which is on all sides splitting and cracking. We may be believed in what we say on this subject—we to whom, since the revolution of February, this perilous and ungrateful task has only procured almost superhuman fatigues, abuse, and ca lumny, calumny, too, from those very persons whose security we protected at the risk of our popularity, and sometimes at the peril of our lives. But let no one de ceive himself—the time is passed far vain palliatives ; a nesperate situation demands extreme remedies. No, thank God, the situation is not so desperate as persons would wish it to be thought ; France is not yet at its last agony ; calm and security, aided by a large dose of liberty, will be sufficient to restore her to health ; the constitution of the patient is strong, and the pulse goes well, although a little feveri,h. We answer for her eure —on this condition, however, that care be taken not to make use of 11. Louis Blanc's remedies." It evident from the following article in the Reforme, that M. LEDRU Ronnix feels that he has no longer any chance of succeeding in his schemes by legitimate means : The Reforme says : We are among those—and we have declared it dis tinctly—who only understand a Revolution in its most logical acceptation, that is to say, as the renovation of the regime which succumbs for the advantage of the regime which it is desired to establish. We should never have thought, for example, of constructing a republican government with the elements of monarchy, and we should only have proceeded to that task on ground well and duly cleared. Our logic, it seems, was wrong; but it remains to be seen whether it is really a republican government which was in view. There are so many ways of constituting a republic, that we may ask this question without giving offence. However that may be, it is under the influence of the servants of royalty that the elections have taken place—it is under the surveil lance of functionaries left in their places, that the scrutiny has been every where opened. You see what has issued from the urn—you see what an assembly that promises. To judge from the first returns, the majority will be centre gauche. The tuture constitution is in good hands. Still it is an excellent trial to make, and for our part we are quite resigned. We will await our repre• sentatives at the task, and we are certain, whatever they do, that the Republic will not perish."

The amount of discounted bills becoming due in Paris is less by 9,680,000 f., but the branch banks show an increase o' such accommodation to the extent of 4,000,000 t. On t►ie side of the liabilities, the notes in circulation have increased about 4,500,000 f. The account current of the Treasury has fallen off from 36,885,000 f. to 26,360 000 f., showing a diminution of upwards of 10 1 millions of francs in the week. The account currents of private individuals have increased a little more than 2,000,000 f. The amount of the metallic reserve is at present about 88,700,000 f. to 349,000,000 f. of notes in circulation. The sum total of the patriotic donations to the 1 Goverment, up to the 25th instant, amounted to 249.954 f. 77c. The Minister of War, on Thursday, visited the bar racks occupied by the 2d Regiment of Dragoons. He examined the buildings, tasted the food, and gave orders that every improvement should be made in the l i odgings of the men and in the stables. Serious disturbances took place during the elections some of the provincial towns. 'During the whole of Wednesday great excitement i revelled, at R ouen. Group s Place and of workmen assembled discussed the probable Angou:llie—MM. Planet, Mayor of Cognac;" La-, baissiere, commissaire du gouvernement ; Hennery,, ',iults V: the elections. A man having cried " DES merchant at Cognac; Emile Girardin, former dirpu' l / 4 11 MPB will not be nominated !" a crowd of men in Babaud Laribiire, commissaire du gouverni-ment ; Pon, t 'olisWiati after him. The National Guard having jars, advocate at Confolens; Bateau, ad voca t e at B or - I tried to stop them, a co lli s i on t oo k pl ace . Though deaux. it was without gravity, an imposing force of infantry, hussars, artillery, and National Guard turned out, and the Hotel de Ville was occupied. At about nine o'clock in the evening a band composed of 200 persons, passed along the quays, ,houting, "A bas rAssemblee Nationale I" and "Vivo Deschamps !" and singing the Ca ira. Near the Rue St. Lo a company of the National Guard separated the crowd, whereupon there were cries of " Down with the National Guard ! Down with the Aristo crats !" On the Place des Carmes a troop of dra -gdons dispersed a crowd, who cried " Down with the Dragoons !" After passing along the Place Saint . - Ouen, which was occupied by the National Guard and hussars, the people dispersed. The night passed off quietly. Yesterday morning much agitation was again visible. Bands of young men approached the Na tional Guards stationed at the Hotel de Ville, and endeavoured to irritate them by making use of insulting expressions. A false report was soon after raised that the people had been fired on, and a general cry was raised of " Aux armes, on assassine nos freresl" At the same time a patrol of Na tional Guards - was attacked, and an attempt made to disarm' them. This attempt only suc ceeded in part, and the National Guards at length reached the Hotel de Vile. Stones were thrown at the armed force. A piquet of dragoons and some National Guards a cheval charged the crowd, and cleared the square. In the mean time the barri cades were raised in several pints of the town, but they were soon carried by the troops. As night ap proached the rioters became emboldened, and at tempted to defend themselves. One man was shot, and another killed by a thrust from a bayonet. As soon as the conflict began the Government commis sary went to the Hotel de Ville to concert measures of defence with the municipal authorities and the commandants of the armed force. Among the par ties arrested and wounded are several liberated con• victs. Some individuals, above the working class, have also been arrested, who are suspected of having instigated the rioters, and it is hoped that all the chiefs of the movement are in the hands of justice. The Journal de Oise of the 27th gives a very long account of the events which occurred at Beau vais on the two preceding days. About a thou sand of the National Guard unarmed, with a numerous body of workmen, went to accompany the sth regiment of dragoons some little dis tance on its way to Paris, the most friendly feel ing being displayed on both sides. On reaching 14 place called the Montagne Saint Genevieve, the dra goons met two battalions of infantry of the line, marching with loaded arms, and with all the precau• tions observed in an enemy's country. On being told by the dragoons that they had just left Beauvais, the infantry expressed the greatest surprise, they having left Saint Denis in the middle of the night, in com pliance with an order which set forth that Beauvais was in a frightful state, all the people in the neigh bouring districts having marched in arms into the . town. Continuing their march the two battalion: reached Beauvais, worn out with fatigue and hunger, they having had to march nine leagues after leaving the railway, and having had no food on the way. A cask of wine was immediately rolled into the street, and the contents distributed among the soldiers. Many of the inhabitants took the officers to dine with them . Shortly after accommodation was provided for bott, officers and men in private houses. The workmet, who had accompanied the dragoons returnees in a body in the afternoon, and greeted the line wit! every demonstration of friendly feeling. Meanwhile, great numbers of persons of Beauvais, having hears at Paris that horrible scenes were passing, hasteneo into the town, and were astonished to find everything traoquil. It appears, however, that very grew• agitation prevailed, owing to what the inhabitant: considered the unwarrantable and violent acts of thi commissaries of the Provisional Government. Tilt inhabitants had made two demonstrations, in honom of the Colonel and Lieutenant• Colonel of the N;,- tional Guard, intending them as a v,arning to th( commissaries. But these gentlemen responded by an act which excited great indignation—the suspensioi, of M. DANSE, the President of the Tribunal. M. DANSE having declared that he would not obey the suspension, but would take his seat on the bench, M. PLACE, the Commissary, called out the National Guard, the gendarmerie, and th e tr oo p s ; and ordered Lieut. DANIEL, of the National Guard, to take his corn pany to prevent M. amiss from sitting. M. DANIEI formally refused, whereupon M. PLACE called on hin to give up his sword, which M. DANIEL did. Som. angry explanations then took place between N. PLACE and some gentlemen of the town, and even• tually the National Guard rushed into the building and compelled M. PLACE to restore Lieut. DANIEL sword that very instant. Meanwhile the people hearing what had passed, assembled en masse, and insisted that the sub commissaries, M. JOUVANTE and M. LEGOUT, should immediately leave the town. This they did, after being obliged to pass through the ranks of the people. There were then cries that M. PLACE should also leave, but on the recommendation of the Mayor, and out of respect for him, the people. consented to allow him to remain, on condition thaw he should take M. FLYB, a respectable inhabitant, a, sub•comtnissary. It was these events which led to the reports about the position of Beauvais, and cause, troops to be sent there. On the day of the elections the inhabitants of tw.i communes proceeded to Castelsarrasin (Tarn and Garonne) to vote, but they were told to come again the next day, as there was not time to receive tht votes, They set out on their return, but, on being addressed by some one, a cure, it is said, they returned, and endeavoured to invade the place in which the votes were received. The National Guard resented, and a terrific struggle took place. The National Guard was pelted with stones, and eventually inadi use of their arms. On both sides persons wen wounded, and it is said that two were killed. We read in the Courtier de Lyon :—" We are as sured that General REY, to whom is attributed the loss of the chests of arms and ammunition, which at different times hare been carried off on the public roads, is in flight, and that a warrant for his arre,l was issued, but he has taken refuge in Savoy." The following curious paragraph appeared in tilt- Messenger Twenty-two men of the Garde Re publicaine were dismissed a few days ago for the fol lowing cause. The Government knew that armed men attended nightly at Blanqui's club, where they performed duty as police. A decree was being pre pared against this system, when one of the officers oe the Hotel de Ville, going without a card and from curiosity to the club, found himself in presence of a post composed of his own men. It was about this time that there was discovered in a cellar of the Hotel de. Ville a tube in connexion with the cellar where the gunpowder is deposited. After the disco very of this crime, which might have led to horrible results, the men who were suspected of being con cerned in it were dismissed." BOURSE, PARIS, FRIDAY, APRIL 28. HALF-PAST .

There can now he no doubt but that the official de claration of the poll of Paris will show that the eight moderate members of the Provisional Government have been returned at the head by large majorities, while the members of the Ledru Rollin faction will be found (it returned at all) to have been returned by a mere " measure• cast" majority. Indeed, it was be lieved in Paris yesterday morning that neither LED&U ROLLIN nor FLocox would be found in the list of successful candidates. The general counting of the votes commenced at eight o'clock yesterday morning at the Hotel de Ville, in the presence of the delegates from each section. A detachment of the National Guard was in attendance for the maintainance of order. The Journal der Dards says there can be no doubt but that M. DE LAMARTINE will be declared at the head of the poll by an immense majority. So signal has been the defeat of LEDRU ROLLIN and the anarchists, that considerable apprehensions are enter tained lest they should attempt, by a resort to phy sical force, to make up for their deficiency of moral force, and a hostile movement on the part of the anarchists might, it was expected, break out this day. The funds, which had previously been regularly rising, had, it is presumed in consequence of this alarm, fallen—the Threes to 45i, and the Fives to 67k. The returns from the Provinces are all favourable to the triumph of the moderate party. " This," as the Journal des Debuts justly observes, " will be a great step taken towards the consolidation of ()icier, and it will be also a great honour to France and a new proof of the invincible force of public opinion. Confidence will return, and with confidence, credit, commerce, and employment. A liberal and moderate Government, this is what France requires." The following are the returns from the provinces.
