Morning .. 40 min after 4 1 Eveniag .. 44 min. after 4 kit LONDON, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 14, 1848. Although the ultimate calculation of votes cannot be expected much before Christmas, it is already cer tain that Prince LOUIS NAPOLEON, the representative of the imperial dynasty, has been elected President. It is not only certain that he has been elected, but that his election has been triumphant. The prestige of a great name has enveloped him with an almost superstitious popularity. lie has risen to the altitude of power, sustained solely by the memory of that im mortal man whose glory has revived in the nine teenth century the marvels of the most wonderful heroes of antiquity. Never, most assuredly, since the histories of nations were first written, has a more magnificent tribute of homage been offered to the manes of any hero than that which is now emanating from the soul of Republican France, and which is being laid with reverent and loving hands upon the mausoleum of the Emperor NAPOLEON. The melodious predic tion of the poet . BERANGER is already working out its fulfilment—that graceful vaticination in which the bard sang of the enlarging celebrity of the Con queror : " On parlera de sa gloire Sous le chaumebienlongtemps ; L'humnl e daps cinquante ans, P Ne con na i tra autre histoir e !" The truth of this impassioned proph ec y i s ver ifi e d b y the suffrages cast into the u the Presidential election ; and the enthusiasti c s of out the t om b of admiration of pos terity is resounding al ready the anointed soldier —LL under the midst of the temple co the do me, in religion to the GOD of armies?' The secrated bY the people is at last being articulated agilarlena:ltee t- he't fabricators of the treaty of Vienna ; and the earnest ness mess with which the French citizens are labouring ' to invest the son of King Louis and Queen HoaTENst with the dignity of their first magistrate must be regarded as an expression of their horror at the deeds which, in 1815, showed that the Sovereigns of Europe were altogether devoid of magnanimity. It has been eloquently said by CHATEALTBRIAND, that had NAPOLEON combined with his own heroic quali ties some of the meek and civic virtues of WASHING TON, " he had named liberty the universal legatee of his fame .r' The result of the great political struggle fur the chair of Presidency would seem to indicate either that the condition implied by the au thor of Atala, was not requisite, or that the EMPEROR had really combined the patriotic sincerity of a WASH INGTON with the imperial pomps of a CuaRLEmaGxE. Wnatever may be the decision of the future historian upon this particular, it is manifest that the triumph of Prince Louis NAPOLEON, through the medium of universal suffrage, is, as we have already observed, a magnificent homage to the memory of the EMPEROR. As an augury of the aggregate number of votes de posited in the urns of ballot, the proportion of the suffrages given to the several candidates by the inhabitants of the capital and its banlieus, acquires a peculiar importance. Before the intelligence from the departments has been received, before accounts have reached the Executive from Corsica or Algeria, the decision of Paris must be accepted as A portent of the ultimate resolution of the Republic. For this reason, therefore, we have no inconsiderable satisfac tion in laying before the public the following esti mates of the results of the Presidential contest in the twelve metropolitan arrondissements :- L. N. Bonaparte. Cavaignac. Ledra Rollin. Raspail. Lamartine 1 arr. 16,998 6,015 1,168 719 238 2 12,538 7,708 1,968 1,051 300 3 6,106 5,921 1,415 825 277 4 4,605 3,571 1,257 1,181 175 5 10,619 5,614 2,755 1,395 310 6 10,622 7,509 3,155 1,405 397 7 7,097 5,109 1,920 1,023 178 8 12,755 5,318 2,841 1,344 189 9 8,526 4,296 1 , 035 850 137 10 22,326 11,216 1 , 597 870 399 11 8A47 5,840 1 , 532 888 293 12 10,934 4,616 1,656 1,344 243 129,562 72,733 22,199 13,799 3,136 Hitherto we have (expressed a hope that France would elect as her First President a vigorous Patriot like CAVAIGNAC or an illustrious and unsullied Genius like LAMAETINE. We still think for our own part that the destinies of the Republic would have been better accomplished by such a selection. The nation has willed otherwise. The people have chosen of their own accord the representative of the imperial family of NAPOLEON. All opposition succumbs to that solemn and supreme decree. We recognise in the candidate selected by a great commu nity the incarnation of the sentiments of the Sovereign multitude. Even the most violent of the organs of one amongst the unsuccessful candi dates—the National—has bent the head in reverential respect for the will of the million—a will, too, which reveals itself for the first time through the channels of the ballot and of universal suffrage. And when it is known that out of 1,246,000 votes, 782,000 have declared for Prince LOINS NAPOLEON, and only 268,000 for General CAVAIGNAC, it will be apparent how unanimously the wishes of the population have been expressed in favour of the former candidate. What we would willingly see upon the installation of BONAPARTH as President is this—the cordial accept ance of the Republicad institutions. Then, and then only might France look for prosperity and happiness. Will Prince Louis recognise the necessity of this ? Will he abandon the notion of struggling for a spurious renown by indulging his ambition, or will he secure for himself the love of contemporaries and of poste rity, by giving ear only to the dictates of patriotism ? Will he allow himself to dwindle into the mere pup pet of the reactionary party ;or will he, on the con trary,:throwing aside every petty jealousy; espouse the cause of liberty, and rise to true glory on the pinions of civism ? T here are knaves about him, pouring into his brain the " leprous distillment " of their evil principles will he spurn them from him with a bold hand, and join issue only with men whose hearts are large and in corruptible ? Will he listen to the Republicans of the lendemain, or of the vielle Will he rally round his Administration the statesmen of February—or will he shrink into the mere footstool of M. ADOLPHE TRIERS, that Iscariot of Revolutions ? Upon the decision of these alternative 3 are dependent the life of the President and the perpetuity of the Republic. Considering that within a very brief period from the present moment the enormous province of the Pun jaub will be incorporated with our other Asiatic pos sessions, it becomes a matter of some interest to re flect upon the advantages which must accrue to us from the acquisition of such an extraordinary division of the peninsula of Hindostan. By the day on which the annexation shall have, been accomplished the power of Great Britain among the oriental nations will have extended from Cape Camorin to the Chain of the Caucasus—from Ceylon to Cashmere. Already, by the valour of our army, the do minion of the Great Company has stretched westwards to Khyrpoor, and eastwards to Chitta gong ; it has reached in one quarter the confines of Caubul, and in another has come within view of the ridge of the Himalayas; by the conquest of Sinde it has embraced both banks of the Indus, over a distance of about four hundred miles up the river from its delta ; it has numbered as its inhabitants no less than three hundred thousand human beings, for whose benefit these English conquerors have become the dispensers of the blessings of civilization. By the occupation of the Punjaub, the limits of the British Indian empire will be extended not only for our commercial advantage, but for the ultimate happiness of avast multitnde of Orientals. To afford some con ception of the results which must ensue upon the seizure of the Punjaub by the army of Lord GOUGH, we cannot do better than refer to the rapid but picturesque allusions recently made to the approaching subjugation of that province by Sir CHARLES NA PIER, the conqueror and administrator of the adjacent province of Sinde. Speaking of the geographical aspect of . the Punjaub, Sir CHARLES NAPIER quaintly compared it to a lady's fan—observing in a comical parenthesis, " And a very pretty one _too for the Queen of ENGLAND !" The appearance of the country might hare been defined more cor rectly, perhaps, by likening it to the back of a laurel leaf—the five rivers forming the ribs of the laurel leaf, and meeting at the extremity in a stalk comparable to the Indus. However, a lady's fan let it be called—the rivers forming the sticks of the fan, and meeting together in the pivot—and a very fair notion may be formed of the general) position of the province. At Mittun-Kote these five rivers—the Trimah, the Gharra, the Rivee, the Chanab and the Hydaspes—gather together their aggregated mass of water and roll onwards in one grand stream (the Indus) to mingle with the ocean towards the south. By the ac quisition of the Punjaub, therefore, no less than 2,000 additional miles of water carriage will be opened;to British commerce;the rivers which afford this water carriage flowing through tracks of land remark able for fertility. According to the expres sions employed by Sir CHARLES NAPIER when addressing the local garrison at Limerick, the first step towards the introduction of the mercantile enterprise of England among the northern nations of Hindostan, and consequently the first step towards their ulterior civilization, was the conquest of Sinde ; and now, continued the distin guished Captain,!the.second step will be the annexation of the Purijaub.:Under the government of DAtmous — ix will be completed what was commenced under the government of ELLENEOROUGH ; and the genius of Major EDWAEDES Will have tended to the completion of an object Which was first attempted to be realised by the genius of Sir CHARLES NAPIER. When this much has been achieved, the Indus will no longer present a formidable ,barrier to the caravans. So far f rom doing this, it will tend materially to their facili tation, and then to express ourselves in the sanguine language of the Ex-Governor of Sinde, the Indus " will supply those caravans with steamers at Mittun- Kote to take their loads in exchange for British manufactures which will this be carried up those great rivers, and there spread over all the countries through which they run," and onwards into the central portions of the Asiatic continent. The seizure of the Punjaub is consequently one of those important events which must affect in a very surprising manner the commercial relations of Great Britain, a n d no t on l y t h e commerc i a l re l at i ons o f Great Britain, but the future condition, both social and political, of many millions of the Asiatics. excites *deeper perhaps , all-important There is, perh Am no topic of the present day that the result of the e nd . more universal interest than the discussion of . the national currency. On place on the subject insiboonththat must inevitably take parliament, of the Legisla ture, upon the meetin g of prosperity of and poverty. will depend, in a great degree, the future ha the country, or its cornparatrires's and shall main tainitherto fromoccu orthh.er high It will then be decided whether rn E i n s i a i r ia y ni?. third rate the proud position which she fall pied among civilized nations, estate, and degenerate into a second power, a victim to the quackeries of those foolishly and unnecessarily tamper e d with the wll na tional credit, the very life-blood of the national industry. It will then be known whether the glorious doctrines of free-trade shall be fully and energetically carried out in all their integrity, and our country rendered the great emporium of the world, or whether the due development of those doctrines shall be impeded by the working of the antagonistic prin ciple of a fettered and contracted currency. It cannot for a moment be supposed that the in quiries conducted with so much care and attention, the valuable and conclusive body of evidence collected, the reports emanating from distinct Committees of the hereditary and the repre sentative branches of the Legislature —reports wholly opposed to each other, in the more im portant principles enunciated, can be suffered to fall to the ground without being productive of some fruit, either for good or evil. Some decision must be arrived at, and that speedily. Either the Act of 1844 will remain unaltered, and the present monetary code be maintained in all its stringency, artificially enhancing the value of money, and spreading dismay and ruin throughout the entire nation, or great and comprehensive reforms will be introduced, and that great blessing will be bestowed upon the country—a sufficient circulating medium, a currency adequate to its wants and exigencies. It is for the people to decide which of these results shall be attained. The voice of public opinion is all-powerful, and must prevail. No Government will dare to oppose the wishes of the people, temperately but firmly expressed. The views of the several consti tuencies clearly and unequivocally put forward must influence their respective representatives, and the doubters and waverers will speedily be brought round to sound principles, when convinced that their own individual interests, as well as the interests of the community at large, are involved in the issue, that they cannot hope to retain the mystic characters (M.P.) attached to their respective names unless their voices be raised in support of the popular desires, and they array them selves in the ranks of the currency reformers. There could be no doubt er difficulty as to the in tention and object of the Chancellor of the Ex chequer, and of the party into whose hands he has flung himself, whose voluntary slave he has become, in obtaining the Committees in both Houses of Parliament to inquire into the cause of the commercial distress. That object was palpable to the most superficial observer It was, as we proclaimed at the period, for the sole purpose of shelving the question until a time when a direct and positive refusal could be returned to the general demand. In the speech of the Right Hon. Baronet, in moving for the appointment of the Com mons' Committee, he expressed his perfect and entire conviction as to the beneficial operation of the Bank Charter Act, and his implicit and unquestioning faith as to its efficacy. He at least did not require infer mation ; he showed the House and the country that his mind was made up— that there was but little prospect of conver sion, of new light being admitted into his soul. The determined manner in which he resisted any change in the composition of the Committee proposed by him, the stubborn resistance which he nffered to the admission of men who had devoted themselves to the consideration of the question, who represented the views of those who differed widely from the bullionists, proved beyond the possibility of doubt that he was determined to obtain, per fas aut *etas, a report framed in accordance with his own opinions; indeed, on a subsequent occasion, when challenged with the partisan character of that Com mittee the prejudiced opinions entertained by a majority of its members, he admitted the fact, and declared that the Government would be wrong in sanctioning the appointment of the Committee, unless they had an absolute certainty as to the report that would be made. No jury was ever more de cidedly packed in the days of official corruption, in order to procure the acquittal of a wealthy and powerful delinquent, than was the Committee on the commercial distress, for the purpose of freeing the Act of 1844 from the charges preferred against it, from the impeachment of its own friends and supporters, evidenced in its suspension by the well-known letter of the 25th October, 1647, which suspension was ac knowledged by the most ardent and influential advocates among the periodical press of the system of bank restrictions to be tantamount to the unqualified condemnation of the law, and indicative of its com. plete and unconditional repeal. No surprise was occasioned by the report of that packed Committee, it was exactly that which had been anticipated in every quarter. Regardless of the testimony that was adduced as to the pernicious work ing of the law, the Committee reported, that " after a careful review of all the evidence they were of opi nion that it was not expedient to make any alteration in the Bank Act of 1844." It is but justice to the minority, who elicited a body of evidence from competent, experienced, and trustworthy witnesses, that must have convinced any impartial and unprejudiced tribunal, to state that this monstrous result was not attained without a firm and determined resistance. Every paragraph formed a subject of contention, and none were adopted without a division. The report itself was only carried by a majority of two, namely, of Sir ROBERT PEW. and of Sir CHARLES WOOD—the Parliamentary sponsors of the accused culprit. Will their votes be sufficient to appease and tranquillise the public mind, to convince the mercantile interests that the act was free from all blame, and that it did not at least aggravate the sufferings of the commer cial body, if it was not the chief cause and origin of the general panic,? We believe not. Something more will undoubtedly be required to satisfy the nation, and render it contented with the present code. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. ELECTION OF PRESIDENT.

PAIL, and LAMARTINE. The Siecle thus accounts for the success of LOUIS NAPOLEON—. " Here in Paris, as well as in other great industrial centres, the democrat socialists en masse, suddenly aban doning their candidate, have voted for Louis Napoleon. What has been their calculation ? What passion, what arriere pensee, have they obeyed ? It is not easy to answer. According to some the attraction of the popu lar name of Napoleon drew them from the anarchists —according to others they rallied to the can didate who presented the most chances of being elected, in order, in the first place, to take ven geance on General Cavaignac for the terrible defeat of June; and, in the next, in the hope that social order, under a President suspected by the moderate Republi• cans, that is to say, by a portion of the middle classes, would be less vigorously defended. The enthusiasm of the country people for the name of Napoleon has been very great, but what rendered the attraction irresistible is the animosity felt against the Republic—an animosity caused first by suffering, and artfully stimulated by the old Ministerialists and Legitimists." Having declared that they will not pursue a fac tious course towards; the new Government, the Siecle proceeds : " The greater part of Ministers, if not all, will retire. Their successors are already designated, and the list of names handed about to-day in the Assembly was known even weeks ago. " The great difficulty in the way of the new Govern ment will be to keep within bounds the different pas sions which combined to make the election of the 10th of December, and to struggle against the pressure from without, that will try to drive them beyond the bounds of the Constitution. If they resist, as we are persuaded they will, then they may count on our support. We see no safety for the country except in the maintenance of the Constitution. We combatted with energy the coali tion formed under our eyes, because we saw the dis honest motives which held it together. Eight months ago, it was the revolutionary party that showed itself arrogant and exclusive. We are to-day menaced with another sort of danger. It is the counter-revolution that believes itself triumphant, and which will pursue its advantages. We shall endeavour to stop it in the same way that we opposed our best efforts to the extra vagances of the violent Repulrlicans." The Ileforme seems to think it probable that the new President may attempt a coup d'etat against the Assembly. It says— " If from the first day the question of brute force be posed between the new President and the Assembly, our choice is not doubtful—we will defend the Assembly. Without doubt it has committed numerous and very great faults; but these faults have rather been the result of error than of bad intentions. The Assembly is honest, if not very enlightened, and devoted to the Republic. Would to God that it had as much firmness as zAtl for the public good. We would defend the Assembly be cause it has a sovereign mandate, while that of the Pre sident is simply constitutional. We would defend it because the brutal violation of the Constitution would be the last blow given to the Republic. Upon this point no sincere Republican, no frieed of the Constitution, should hesitate a moment. But we do not doubt that the old-fashioned dreams of coup d'etat and of coteries shall yield to the fear of uni versal reprobation. Public opinion, forgetful at least of its aim, has nevertheless, for the last fifty years been fickle as to 'persons. How many brilliant popu larities annihilated since February! What sudden re actions! How much self-deception on the part of men who, thinking.themselves idols, fancied that their popu larity was personal, instead of being addressed to ideas, and hopes resumed by their name! Those who are thinking of making appeals to force and to a coup d'etat, will reflect, and will find no difficulty in recognising that the unanimous wish of France already too misconcieved, calls fur the regular development of institutions. In such a situation the attitude of the friends of the revos lution is one of reserved neutrality and of distrust to wards the new power about to rise, without rancorous or systematic hostility. Our part is to await the deve lopment of the designs and of the forces of our enemies, and to prepare ourselves by sustained vigilance, by fre quent communications, by pacific and active propagation of the doctrines of the revolution for the events in which we may be called to intervene. There are those who reckon on our impatience. Let us be calm as well as firm. Let us be above provocation, and the reactionary policy will fall of itself before public contempt." The National has the following, which may be considered as the official declaration of the sup porters of GeneralCAvAlGNAc : " Universal suffrage has now declared itself, and there is every reason to suppose that M. Louis Bonaparte will have a considerable majority. The result is contrary to our wishes, but it does not inspire us with any feeling of anger, nor does it in any way make us despair of the future. We have supported with all our strength the candidate who responded the best to our ideas, and who appeared to present the best guarantees to the country of order and of stability. In so doing we have fulfilled our duties as citizens, and we have nothing to rep roac h ourselves with. If the majority declares against us, we shall respect its decision, and the man whom it shall invest with the post of first magistrate will be no longer anything in our eyes but the legal represen tative of the French people, charged to act in its name, as the National Assembly is charged to delibe rate and pass laws. N o t t h at we shall in any way lay aside the convictions which have directed and sus tained us in the struggle. We have expressed our fears that the election of M. Louis Bonaparte would expose us to disorders, and civil discord, and we tear so still. The majority which for this time has rallied round his name is composed of the most heterogeneous elements, we might go further and say of the most hostile ones. The peasants, strangers to all political discussions, the So masts, Royalists of all shades, Bonapartists, Orleanists, and Legitimists, have not apparently been inspired with the same ideas, have not been guided by the same feel ing, have not served the same interests. Allies during the combat, they will necessarily dispute for the fruits of the victory ; all these hostile feelings which for a moment have been disguised under the common livery, will not long delay to throw off the mask and re enter the lists—more active, more ardent, and more irreconcileable than they have ever yet been. God preserve, our;sountry from this terrible trial ; that is our most sincere and fervent prayer. If the event falsi fies our prognostications, we shall heartily rejoice. If they are confirmed—if the old parties again raise their standards, which they have shamefully concealed for some time—our part is very simple, and our dtities clearly pointed out. Our standard is the Constitution, the symbol of our political faith, the ex pression of our wishes and of the wants and interests of democratic France. We shall energetically defend it against all parties, against all attacks, and with God's assistance we will maintain it. Hence it follows, that so long as the Government, issuing from universal suffrage, shall faithfully and sincerely carry out the constitution in virtue of which it exists, we shall respect it; and we shall regard it as the consequence of the principle which we have proclaimed. It is not, in fact, the same with a Republican as with a MonarcLical regime. In the latter the principle, incarnated in one man, is sup ported or falls with him. Under the former men pass away, and the principle still remains as strong and as powerful as ever. Such will be our conduct towards the new Government. We shall watch it with atten tion, even with distrust, for we have right to do so— but without any hostile feelings. If it manages the affairs of the country properly we shall be content. If it comprises her interests we shall resolutely oppose it, but only with constitutional weapons; we shall not quit the legal ground unless it is the first to do so, and then only to follow it and defend it from the aggression of the principle to which it owes its present success." The lioniteur publishes the following proclamation against clubs and open air meetings : " The Government in these latter times, at the ap proach of the election of the President, has desired that citizens should exercise the right that the law assures them to meet and discuss. By a respect for the law, pushed even to scruple, at the risk of causing disquietude to the minds of ft iends of order, the most violent clubs and meetings in the open air have been allowed under the title with which they were covered of electoral meet ings. Without doubt, our manners must be allowed to democratise themselves, and to become habituated to a certain degree of agitation, inseparable from the emission of the universal vote of a great people. The calm and dignity which, according to the accounts received, have presided at the accomplishment of this solemn act, have shown besides, that the populations comprehend that there ought to be limits to electoral agitation, however reconcilable with order. The election is now terminated —agitation ought to cease. The pretext of electoral meetings can no more excuse those of clubs, whose con ditions of existence or whose language would place them out of the pale of the law, nor is there excuse for those assemblages on the highway, whose least inconvenience is to interrupt general circulation. Monsieur the Pre fect of Police has caused to be placarded the law upon attroupements, and the Government is determined to en force its execution; and in so doing it but performs the wish of all citizens." The Moniteur contains notes from eleven different m embers of the Assembly, protesting against the One memb er number of laws set down as organic. says that when he voted in favour of the principle of asserting the organic laws to form the supplement of the constitution, he did not contemplate that these laws e.hould exceed three or four. The other writers reject the greater number as disenLitled to the name of organic. There are various rumours as to the composition of the Ministry of Prince NAPOLEON. The Vice' Presidency has been refused by M. Trimßs, as the acceptance of that office would render him ineligible to be elected President on the next vacancy. M . BERRYER was a s k e d t o acce pt th e office of .Minister of Finance, but he refused, and almost immediatelf afterwards left Paris. M. AUDRIFET was next ar plied to, and he also refused. The Linistry of F ° A . reign Affairs wa s o ff ere d t o M. DE R EmusA T, an refused. The Duke D'HARCOURT is to be immediately re" called from Rome. General OUDINOT will either be Minister at War or Ambassador to Russia. The clergy have objected to M. BARTHLEMY ST. HIL I 1 as Minister of Public Instruction and Worship, a n office to which Louis NAPOLEON was anxious to nr point him, and it is said that either M. DE SE O M. VICTOR HUGO will be appointed. The following list of the new Ministry was culated yesterday : M. ODILOM BARROT, to be Minister of Justice gu el Prime Minister, with the leadership in the Assembly. M. DROUYN DE L'HUYS, Foreign Affairs. M. Auxins FOULD, Finances (~1111. DE AuntruE l ,' HIPPOLYTE, PASSEY, and B ENOIST h av i ng declined)' M. LEON DE MALLEVILLE, Interior. M.
