This Company being now completely registered, the Directors take the earliest opportunity of laying before the Shareholders a statement of its progress and prospects. It may be confidently asserted that no Company was ever brought before the public with equal prosp:ct of spseay and successful results. The prompt assistance afforded by the Shareholders to the Direc tors, and the perfect confidence in the management displayed by them, have enabled the Directors to take such steps as must ensure an enormous dividend within a few months. Sir Henry Huntley, the resident Director in California, has been in that country five months, and the course adopted by the Directors for carts) tug out this enterprisejesults from the experience obtained by him daring - tbat period. The instructions given to Sir Henry Hunt ey were, in efbet, that he should make every possible inquiry relative to the state of the country, the tenure of land, the com parative merit of the different quartz veins in the several districts of California, and after mature deliberation to advise the Directors as to their best course of proccedieg, and to take such measures as would enable them to carry out his views as speedily as possible. Following these instructions, he has secured for the benefit of tile Company, sufficient lands for all mining purposes ; but be is clearly of opinion, that for the present, at least, it is not desirable to mater take mining operations, but to crush and amalgamate quartz to be supplied by those who are possessed of mines, and have raised the quartz. With the assistance of some gentlemen of great exper,euce In geology and mining matters, he has inspected and tested a great variety of veins in the Mariposa, Nevada, Grass Valley, and other districts, and has come to the conclusion, upon sound reasons, that the vicinity of Grass Valley and Nevada City, is that which affords the greatest advantages for car rying on our enterprise. Ile has, therefore, entered into an agree ment with some At erican gentlemen, who have formed a company, and have opened, and, to a considerable extent, worked a vein of quartz, di.tant about three miles from Grass. Valley and Nevada City, and about thirty mattes from Sacramento City, to crush and amalgamate the quartz to be raised from the already cru and amalgamated considerable quantities of the quartz sup plied him from this mine; and the is saA of his operations has been to satisfy himself that the vein is of a full average richness, and that the locality oflers many important advantages in the way of water, fuel, means of transit, &c., &c. He has, there fore, entered into a forma l a g reement with that Company, which, in a few words, amounts to this : he is to be supplied by them with as much quartz as his machinery shall be found capable of crushing ; the quartz is to be deposited at the mills free of expense ; he is to crush and amalgamate it at his own expense, and the g Id produced is to be divided equally between the owners of the vein acid our Company. Formal and legal agreements for carrying out the above arransement . fairly and honestly, and without any coparonersh i p, have been entered into. Stearn-engines and machinery estimated to crush about thirty tone of quartz a day, with funds sufficient for putting it in moti on, have been placed under the control of Sir Henry Huntley; and, unless some unexpec delay has arisen, the machinery is now actually at work, and a return will be made aoout Christmas next. For the satisfaction of the existing shareholders of this Company, and without wishing, in any manner, to deteriorate from the merits of other Companies, the Directors ale desirous of calling attentionom to some of the more prominent advantages possessed by tlds C pany over others now in the field. Shareholders in other Companies must mainly rely upsia reports sent over by persons interested in selling the mine; we rely upon the reports of our own resident Director and his practical assistants on the spot, whose only interest is to give us facts. The Directors of other Companies generally base the estimate of the value of their mine upon calculations founded on experiments upon a few pieces of specimen quartz, sent over to this country for the express purpose of advertising the commodity offered for sale to the British public ; we found our calculations upon experiments tried, during several weeks, on quartz raised from the mine, and crushed and amalgamated by our own Superintendent, and with our own machinery and apparatus. Other Companies propose to incur the expense and risk of carrying out mining operations upon their vein, b: fore the quartz arrives at their mill, and, should their labours prove successful, they must then pay out of their profits large per-centages for obtaining their leases, and large royal ties to their lessors ; whereas we have secured as much quartz es our machinery is capable of crushing, the title to which is as secure re as that of any other company, unfettered by any percentage royalty. The half of the produce to be paid by this Company to the parties who supply us, free of expense, with the quartz, being in fact merely equivalent to the dividend upon the outlay of capital ex pended in raising the quartz, and lodging it at the mill. All the new companies, unlike this, must be a consi lerable time before their arrangements and machinery can be ready for carrying out their schemes —this Company alone is actually at work. The paid-up capital of the Company will not exceed 20,0001. An aim st certain estimate of the produce of oar machinery can be formed, and, from the calculations made, the Directors confidently anticipate being able even at the most moderate estimate, to afford a dividend of 200 per cent., at the least, within the next twelve months. -according to the data furnished to us, the quartz which we are now working yields upon an average 4d. per pound, or 1/. B's. 41. per cwt., or 371. 6s. Bd. per ton; and, as we can crusts and amalgamate at least 20 tons per diens, that would airOatit to 7461. 13s. 4.1., or 373/. Gs. 83. per diem as the share of this Company. Bythe peculiar arrangements this Company has made, based upon practical experience, the economy in working expenses must necessarily be such as to render the current outlay most trifling. Li case circumstances should Macs the Directors to alter the system now adopted, and lead them to undertake mining operatipns of their own, arrangements have I een male securing four distinct sites, most carefully selected for their eligibility fur mining pur poses, and Sir Henry Huntley has on the spot Cornish miners who went out with him, and who have voluntarily retendered hint their services. The gentlemen who formed the Provisional Committee of this Company, have added to their number several gentlemen possessing the acquaintance and entire confidence of a very large body of Shareholders in the provincial districts. To add such linen to the Dire .tory was due to those Shareholders who have in fact estab lished and nobly su pp orted this Company. Measures will be taken for further augment in g the Directory, and a Special Genfral Meet ing of the Shareholders will be convened fir the middle of January. In conclusion, the Directors' beg st to offer their rec be thanandks to the Sh are h o lders for the uniform support they have eived, they pledge themselves that the affairs of this ComaanySole shall bo of for con- ducted with the most rigi d economy, and with the view warding the interest of the Shareholders. The Directors beg to call the attention of Shareholde rs pany, it particularly to the fact that, from the system a d o pted by this Com can not be affected by the question now agitated between the holders of leases :idol Colonel Fremont or his agents. The district selected for the operations of this Company is far removed from the tract claimed by Colonel Fremont. The difficulty arising; out of the many points now rased relative to the tenure of land under leashavi ng es, had been control long k n own to and was maturely conside red by those the of the affairs of this Company, and was one of the reasons which in duced them to pursue for the present the course they have, and not to incur certain heavy expenses with doubtful resu l v t e s of the prudence Th e Directors trust that Shareholders will a p p ro of the course they have adopted.

THE DETERMINED ATTACK ON LOUIS NAPOLEON.—There is no question but that a crisis is now near at hand, and that one of three important parties shortly be settled as dominant in France—the Red Republicans, the Legitima tists, or the friends of the present Government. The attacks made in the Assembly on the Government of Louis Napoleon have been all but successful, and yet have signally fated ; but the last ar.d worst attack was when the majority sought, by a Bill which has been sleeping nearly two years, to enpower the Assembly to impeach the President, the Ministry, and whoever else should favour the re election of Louis Napoleon. While, however, the French people are at loggerheads about clothing the Assembly or the Government with power, we on this side of the Channel are thinking about clothing ourselves ; and the bot opportunity - 141 the world presents itself, for the unique stock of Messrs.

TIMES.—The French Revolution has once more re sumed its eccentric and irresistible course; and this in effectual cempromiso Letwcen the institutions of a Democratic Republic and the representative of Imperial Government is already overthrown. The step just taken by Louis Napoleou Bonaparte, whatever may be it, ulterior conscqueeces, at once overleaps the barrier between law and revolution. The future government of the country, and even the exist( tee of is constituted authorities, rest altogether on the fortune of the mom( nt and the fidelity of the army. The electric spark which transmitted to us yesterday morning the intelligence of events not yet consummated upon th r theatre of actice, is not mire swift than their changes; and even at the hour at which wo write we are still in ignorance of the forces brought to bear on this revolution and of the re sistance it may have to encounter in the nation. This much is, however, already certain, that Louis Napoleon had burst the legal conditions of his power, that the laws and limitations by which he h e ld the highest office in the State are either annihilated by this blow or turned against himself, as the chief enemy of the constitution, and that he stands, either amenable, by failure, to the supreme judicature of the country, or becomes by sue cesa the popular candidate for unlimited personal power. There is no other alternative, and the events of yester• day must either consign France, for the present, to a Bonapartist dictatorship, or send Bonaparte to Vincennes. The Government, however, seems prepared to make its act decisive and complete. The military chief of the Assembly, Generals Changarnier, Cavaignac, Lamoriciere, and Charras, are reported to have been arrested at the outset of the revolution, and transferred to the fortress in which they would willingly have im mured Louis Napoleon himself; and after the part which M. Thiors has played for the last few years in the revo lutions of France, it will excite no regret to learn that he too has been committed to this new Bastile. This measure was doubtless taken to prevent the effect which might have been produced by an appeal from these leaders to the army or the members of the Assem bly, and to strike terror into those who might otherwise have turned their arms against the President, or rallied the scattered forces of the Assembly. We learn fur ther, that upon the closing of the Legislature a consi derable body of members, belonging chiefly to the Le gitimist party, assembled at the adjoining Mail le, where they were surrounded by troops, and conveyed under arrest to the neighbouring barracks. A more sweeping extinction of legislative authority, and a more utter con tempt for the representatives of a great people, has not been witnessed since the dissolution of the Long Parlia ment or the expulsion of the Council of 500 from the Orangery of St. Cloud. From the first announcement cf the President's intention to demand the abrogation of the Electoral Law, accompanied by the summary dismissal of the Faucher Cabinet, and followed by the appointment of so significant a Minister as General St. Arnaud with his most insignificant colleagues, we have anticipated the occurrence of events and the re newal of adventures which would probably change the provisional condition of France. These apprehensions have been greatly increased by the factious conduct of the Assembly, by the unprincipled coalitions formed between the President's personal enemies and his Re publican opponents, and by the attitude assumed by the Government under the increasing encouragement of the populace of Paris. The very last time we had occasion to discuss the condition of France we observed, " That if the law itself affords no relief to a nation in such a predicament, the course of events will be arrested by some violent suspension of the law, that is, by a revolu tion;" and we added that, "if such a measure be dic tated by an imperative necessity, it would claim an in demnity from the suffrages of the nation." That sentence, published 48 hours before the event, appears accurately to describe the present emergency; for, whether any such " imperative necessity" existed or not, it had be come evident that the impatience of the executive power was increased by the cabals of its Parliamentary anta gonists, and inflamed by the favour of the people. But, though we have long deplored the factious spirit of the Assembly, and the ascendancy almost involuntarily con ceded in that body to the most mischievous of its members, the circumstances at present known to us are not such as to account for and justify a coup detat which tramples underfoot the whole legal system of the country. The constitution of 1848, however, contained from the first the germ of such a revolution; for it had placed the highest political authority in the Assembly, while it conferred upon an independent executive Go vernment, stimulated by perpetual rivalry and frequent eollisitrn, the p'nysieal-and- palitieaLlaeaas *destroying an obstacle it could not otherwise remove. The laistory of the last three ars has been the history of this con• test, and as the time drew mar at which the legal powers or the contending parties were to expire the danger of an explosion became imminent. We conclude from the political elements which have alone sur vived the protracted convulsions of Franco—the throne being overturned, the aristocracy destroyed, the country central sad, and the army paramJunt—that the French people must either be governed by a dicta torial power nut seriously controlled by any representa tive Ass, mhly, or by an Assembly disposing absolutely of the executive authority; and en imperial despotism is at least preferable to anarchy or to the government of a Committee of Public Safety. The measures of the Government have been taken with that boldness which tells most in revolutions. The military authorities had for some days past held the army in immediate prepara tion and on the verge of action. General Perrot, the Commandant of the National Guard of Paris, bad just been removed in consequence of an attempt to place on his staff a man obnoxious to himself, and 'mown by the violence he had displayed on former occasions. The command of the civic troops was thereupon transferred to M. do Turgot, late Minister of Foreign Affairs, whose presence in that post might at least have the effect of paralyzing the hostile activity of the legions. M. de Morny, well known as a member of what was termed the progressive party under M. Guis at's administration, and nearly connected with Louts Napoleon by blood, is introduced into the Cabinet as Minister of the Inte rior, and M. Fould has resumed his place as Minister of Finance. But the issue of the crisis depends altogether on the army, and the army on General St. Arnaud. There is every reason to believe that the army will act in perfect unison, and without the fromsligh oistst regular deference chiefs,to especially commands of the ablest of it s ot h er leaders. Th e F renc h any not emanating y a people arc so apt to obey a given imp s ul i s t e has in an b y eende- direc tion, that we are surprised to find this revolution ac complished thus far without any serious resistance, and hailed, as usual, by popular acclamation. The Assem bly, which was so ardently discussing but yesterday the measures to be taken for its defence and the rights of Parliamentary resistance, was deserted by public opinion before it was assailed by the Executive Power; and the catastrophe at which it has now arrived is no more than the result of the destructive and contemptible line of policy adopted by the majority at the commencement of the year now hurrying to its close. But the Assembly has done more than annihilate its own influence and authority. It has injured and disgraced the cause of constitutional and representative government in France. It has put the seal of doom on that experi ment of representative government which has been wi th s o o f 6 14 0 a y n e y a r s v ; and ci ssi t i u t d h e a s s a l e n f d t th s (l e he the sp o il o f these ltiairtinteldde it s u i n p c o e l f r i e s t s af s no e cr d to rule to e upwards myrmi dons of military power. The appeal made by Louis Na poleon to universal suffrage can only be interpreted to mean an appeal to the people in his own favour, and no reliance will be placed on the existence of Chambers depending on his pleasure, when the National Assembly of the Republic has just been overthrown by his will. It is not improbable, indeed, that this change will be ac cepted by a people attached to no traditions of the past, despising the present, and incredulous of the future. But it will be accepted, if it be so accepted, without genuine enthusiasm or confidence. If the entire party once known as that of the Conservative majority be annihilated by this revolution , including a s i t d oes what ever has hitherto been most eminent in the couvoils or the armies of France, it i s n ot the less certain that the revolutionary and republican elements to which Louis Napoleon is most strongly opposed still exist in full organization and vigour. They may be stunned by this blow; they will be coerced by the army, and prosecuted by the laws; but they consist of men not likely to desist from a cantest in which they have now but one opponent, even though that opponent be desig nated by universal suffrage. The fortunes of Louis Napoleon are therefore by no means decided by the occurrences of yesterday; for his Government, if esta blished, enters upon a new and more violent field of con flict, to which it is impos a i ble to assi g n a limit or any ace newrtain p o e b ri e o c d t The i step now irretrievably t a k en opens revolutionary annals of France and of Europe, of the most mo mentous interest to the cause of civilization and the peace of the world ; but, whatever may be the results of thes e events, it is but too certain government are already s acr ifi e d. The humiliation of Febru ar y , prin ciples of constitutional 1848 is avengedb the humiliation of December , 1851 ; a France and that the true interests of freedom and the nobler p rin. by step, from the horrors and is doomed to the stern bondage of mili tary rule. we had to remark on the f o o n l e l y e more of p o p t u o d a r e s r c e e v n o d l , u s t o e n p lIERALD.—If yesterday which we were left by the results s o state admirableof and in wonderful working of the submarine and electric tele g ra p hs—in w in some respects of the reference to the death of a celebrated individual—how shall we express to-day the state of sur p rise and am Z 3.• ment into which we have bee n thrown b y intelli g ence which concerns, not merely the interest and welfare of a nation—intelligence which may have a positive and direct influence on the greater portion of Europe. Fur the last month, indeed, during which the leaders of par ties in the French Chamber have exhibited all the worst vices of intriguers and plotters under the lower Empire —during which time we have seen them false and faith less to every principle, and working only for paltry per- sward interests, without any touch of patriotism or love of country—for the last month or more, e e say, every ohaerving man must have remarked that the Assembly was fast falling into contempt, and that a people prover bially grateful and attached to champions of the po pular cause were wont to speak of the proceedings of the Legislature without respect, if net wi►h feel ings of dissatisfaction, and almost, indeed, of deri sion and contempt. But though this was known to be the Lelieg among the m sjority of the P.trisi,n com munity, high and low—and to be the universal feeling of the people in the country parts of France—yet the p ople of this b ippy country, texustomed to legality, precedent, and routine, were not yet prepared for ex treme measures—and generally considered that this old year would pass over without any sudden or startling changes. This appeared the more probable, as Paris was, even so late as on Sunday, tranquil—as the funds were sten ly—ae the Chamber met o❑ Monday as usual —and as the election of a representative for the metro polis, in the pl.c 5 of General ifagnan, quietly proceeded and terminate d in the midst of a profound calm and tranquillity. But though all this is undoubted and in coetrovertible fact—though the workmen are generally employed. and everybody was looking forward to a pleasant Christmas and a brilliant opening of the new year in the gay and civilised metropolis of France, yet it may be that these letter expectations will not be grati fied. With what surprise the news which wo published in a third edition yesterday would be generally received in Paris may be well imagined. Admitting, however, to the fullest extent that the Chamber has on more than one occasion menaced and insulted the President—ad mitting, also, that the Council of State has bee❑ an accessory in this unwise, undignified, and unstate man like policy, both before and after the fact—admitting also that the most unnatural coalitions between parties had taken place in the Chamber—nevertheless we be. lieve most well-informed persons, both here and abroad, were of opinion that the President and his Government would have allowed the Chamber and the Burgraves to proceed to more overt acts of hostility than anywhere appears recorded in their proceedings. But whether it is that a conspiracy has been discovered of which it was arranged that a branch of alehouse of Orleans should be the blind instrument, and M. Tillers the motive and ma naging power—whether it is that the proposition sought to be brought for ward by M. Lehorde (namely, that the principle of Monarchy or Republic should be for mally considered)—excited and moved the President to action—we know not, and cannot pronounce, for the de tails are not yet come to hand. But whatever the motive, or whatever the provocation, certain it is, that both the Assembly and the Council of State are dis solved, and that Paris itself is placed in a state of siege. The reason for an extreme measure of this kind was doubtless great and overwhelming, for it were acting disingenuously with our readers not to declare that it is a measure beyond the assigned limits of the Constitution. As little do we aver—that a case has arises of a very urgent and overwhelming nature—in which the placing of Paris in a state of siege has been justifiable. But such case must indeed have been an urgent one, for it is pro vided by the 106th article of the Constitution that the forms and effects of a state of siege must be regulated by an express law. It may be remembered that wo expressly defended in this journal the state of siege in which Paris was placed in June, 1848, by General Cavaignac. But it should be recollected that the Reds and Socialists were then in open insurrection—that demegoguic clubs were sitting in permanence—and that a civil war was actually raging. Public safety and the salvation of so ciety we freely admitted absolutely required such a measure in 1848, and may require such a measure again in December, 1851, for aught we know to the contrary. But, in the absence of all details and all information, it cannot be supposed we are prepared to speculate upon motives and grounds with which we are wholly unac quainted. We may, however, here remark, that up to June, 1848, the conditions of a state of siege were regu lated by the laws of Bth July, 1791—by the laws of the 10th Fructidor—and the decree of the 24th December,lBll. That the hard and onerous conditions of a state of siege should be so specifically regulated there can be no doubt, for, according to the military law of France, a city placed in a state of siege is like a city in a state of war. The civil authority passes entirely into the hands of the military commander, who, in reference to subsistence, organization, and entire command, may be considered supreme and absolute arbiter. Every civil and military authority is for the time under him judges, prefects, mayors, artillery, cavalry, engineers, national guard, municipal guard, chasseurs de VincenneJ, sappers and miners, as well as bishops, priests. and monks, are under his entire control. Ho alone decides in every resort according to secret in structions which he receives from the executive. Such powers as these are more than plenary ; they are abso lute and autocratic. There have been extreme cases, ve here such a complete dictature is not only admissible, but supremely necessary—,here such_a migister populi as Cicero speaks of id his " Tragm -7 nt of the Republic" can be tolerated and even applauded. But the cases are very exceptional, and the instances very rare in deed, where such power should be conf,rred or as sumed. There must be a justification for such a course; but until we know the facts, it would be imprudent, as well as unjust, to pronounce up in them. The Presi dent, we are told in conclusion, restores universal suf frage, and appeals to the nation. This looks as though he rested a firm reliance upon the motives by which he has been urged, and upon the necessity for the course he has adopted. Such appears to us to be the reason able inference to be drawn from an appeal to the people of France. CHRONlCLE.—Criticism of the stunning intelli gence which reached us yesterday must obviously be confined to the succession of facts as they occurred, leaving untouched for the present the mighty eventuali ties with which they are remotely pregnant. Although, by yesterday noon, we had been even more distinctly advised than welt) probably the population in the suburbs of Paris, that the Assembly had been forcibly dissolved, and that Louis Napoleon hrid taken military possession of the principal points in the city; we felt that we had been admitted to but a glimpse of the secret of a great drama; nor are we even now much more confident as to the extent to which we have penetrated it. Still there is no want of magnitude in the in cidents themselves, and they cast a flood of light upon much that has preceded them. All through Sunday and Monday rumour had been busier than usual in Paris. It was said that orders had been transmitted to the Prefects of departments, and to the Generals commanding the districts which wore under military law, to the effect that they were to hold themselves in readiness against a danger which was close at hand. Some o f th e re p orts a dd e d that all the troops, within twenty miles of the capital, bad been !no:led that they must be prepared to march at a man - en - Vs notice, and that the superintendents of the railway companies had been commanded to keep the road completely free for the passage of soldiery. The representatives, who crowded to the Ministry of the Interior for information and guidance, were acquainted by M. de Thorigny that the preparations in question had really been made, and that their object was to provide against an outbreak of the Socialist democracy, which had been fixed for the day of the Paris election. All who heard the answer interpreted it in accordance with those perverse notions of Louis Napoleon's character and capacity, at which we have so often expressed our astonishment. Although General Loewenstein had just been placed, in lieu of Ge neral Perrot, at the heal of the National Guards—and although it was known that the principal subordinate of the new commander was Colonel Vieyra, the unscrupulous officer who destroyed the printing presses of the Repub lican newspapers after the abortive demonstration in June, 1849—n0 ono eye seems to have been opened to the true nature of the movements which were admitted to be going on. It was the old story, they said. The Legitimists and Orleanists were assured by their news papers that the President had invented this clumsy fable of a plot, as an excuse for making an imposing display of energy, and so proving to the Conservative party how useful was his vigilance and how indispensable his aid. The National of Monday declared ironically that the Ministers would be obliged to it for saving them the trouble of announcing that the plot was all a mistake. In fact, the adversaries of the Elyie: walked right into the pitfall, with loud asseverations of their contempt for the band which had dug it. The conspiracy, which had thus tainted the air all day, exploded in the night. The Parisians awoke on Tuesday morning to fiod every position of importance in the occupation of the mili tary. Then came the news that all the officers who might have influenced the army unfavourably for Louis Napoleon's designs had been roused from their beds to be placed under arrest. The great African Generals, Changarnier, Cavaignac, and Lamoriciere, with Bedeau, Leflo, and the Republican Colonel Charras, were already lodged in the prison of Mazios. To these had been added MM. Thiers, Lagrange, and upwards of sixty other representatives. Tho Palace of the Assembly was closed and surrounded; and the walls of Paris were pla carded with the following decree:— _ ‘• In the name of the Piench people, the President of the Republic decrecs— " ARTICLE I. " The National Assembly is dissolved. " ARTICLE 11. " 'Malvern' suffrage is reestablished. The Law of the 31st May is repealed. _ - " ARTICLE 111. " The French people are convoked in their communes from the 14th to the 21st December. " ARTICLE IV. " The state of siege is daereed in tho whole of the firbt military division. " ARTICLE V. " The Council of State is dissolved. " ARTICLE VI. " The Minister Gf the Interior is charged with the execution of this decree. " LOUIS NAPOLEON BONAPARTE." Such are the facts of Tuesday morning; and up to the moment at which we write, there is nothing to load us to believe that this extraordinary blow has not been struck with success the most signal and unqualified. The only chock—if such it can be called—which Louis Napoleon has sustained, is the fact that, early in the day, about two hundred M em b ers of the Assembly met at t he Mairie of the 10th arrondissement, under AL Dartfe,pre their passed Oat h a s r i d m e y ne a v na h v o y re fr t o h m ey decheince of the President, freeing the officers of the convoking the High Court of Justice- to • ig him and his Ministers. But this proccq.clin g decrees o b , d *3 pronouncing o t u o n h c i i m n g and seems to e h i re been little regarded ; a n d o f course, beyond this, there. will be a sequel to the hi s t ory o f the coop Cretar even as re spoeits Paris; and we st ill h ave to look—a,'d sae d so aith extreme anxi e ty—f or intelligeece fromo R uen, Lille, Marseilles, and Lyons. Darin., how lon g a t i me has this attack been preparin g? thelu ' form of a fixed .letermination not t o res i gn hi s power without a .tru-gle it has never , in all prob a bili ty, been isbe nt from. Louis Napoleon's mind; but as a distinct seh:lese be put in operation on a particular day, its or;gin is r haps of recent . date. Now th a t t h e attempt has been actually made, its commencement may be carried back t o the period at which General Megnau'e acceptance of a command vented his seat for Puri tied placed at the disposal of the Exectitiv, an opportuni:y of which it must have at once disceraed all the uies. By the ex isting law, a casual election, such as that of last Sun day and Monday, might be fixed et any period within six months after the vacancy. To appoint a day for the polling before the unpopular Electoral Law could possibly be repealed—to pretend that the spectacle of an oligarchy enjoying the rights of the people of Paris would provoke an outbreak of the indignant democracy —to mask the assemblage of an immense armed force by representing it as a needful precaution against the anti cipated demonstration—all these are links in the cham of conspiracy which hang evenly together, and whichindi cate to us the point from which they are suspended. More over, the inference that the blow has not been quite extemporised is strengthened by another fact which bas attracted notice—we allude to the ostentatious neutrality which Louis Napoleon's personal adherents maintained . in the late divisions, as though they were desirous of its rights. protesting that the Assembly had forfeited . On the other hand, it is difficult to set aside, as having exercised no influence on this measure, the extraordi nary result of the debates on the Municipal . Bill. One can scarcely conceive a more p l aus ibl e occasion for an appeal to the people than a division which stereotyped an unpopular principle in the most fundamental of laws, and which was known, all the while, to have been vitiated by fraud or mistake. It may be, however, that this is only anoth er i nstance of the felicity w i t h which, up to the critical moment, fortune has played into Louis Napoleon's hand s . Th e on l y man in France who has sworn obedience to the C onst i tut i on has broken it. Keeping fully in view the palliations afforded by the malice, the recklessness, the selfishness, and the provocations of his enemies, we cannot forget that, according to the letter of the moral and positive law, the act just perpetrated amounts both to perjury and to treason. If it be suc cessfully accomplished, we can only hope that the ex cuses for his conduct will seem so conclusive to Louis Napoleon as to preserve his self-respect unimpaired. Once confirmed in a systematic carelessness of obliga tions, he will find himself courted by precipice after pre cipice in the path on which he has entered. With an army to support him, there will be a perpetual tempta tion to beat down domestic opposition by its help. With an army to keep in good humour, there will be a perpe tual temptation to engage in foreign war for its aggran disement. But we must keep our promise to refrain at present from speculation or contingencies like there. One consequence of the coup d'ilat must indeed be men tioned, though the statement of it appears very like a bathos. The English Whig Ministry—on the point of falling to pieces through the revived disagreements of the Palmerston and Grey factions—has perhaps been saved by the events at Paris from a forced resignation, which we shonld otherwise, in all probability, have had to announce in the course of yesterday Eaernoon. Our patriotic Whig statesmen will find a bond of union and a reason for holding place in the events which have oc curred in Paris. POST.—Louis Napoleon has at last made his threatened appeal from the adverse decisions and ag gressive legislation of the National Assembly to the voice and will of the people at large, as the only compe tent arbitrators on the great questions at issue. With the leading facts of this important tarn in the course of events our readers were yes.erday made acquainted in quick succession, and, in fact, almost as they occurred- The extreme conciseness which the medium of the electric telegraph combines with its wonderful rapidity leaves us, however, at the moment of writing, in some uncertainty as to the precise mode in which the bold measures of the President have been carried into effect, and as to the exact circumstances which may have de termined or precipitated their execution. The important points are that the Assembly bas been actually dissolved by command of the Executive—that Universal Suffrage was declared by the President to be the bash on which alone auy settled Government could be formed —that the people were invited to re-ume their sovereignty and elect a chief—ClA: the troops were steady under arms—that the city was quit t and the people acquiescent. Fi um the attitude of both the contending parties for some time past, it was clear that affairs were rapidly converging to such a necessity as that into which the Executive has now been forced. The Assembly had proved, by the time and mods in which they had revived and car ried forward the augmented Bill on the responsibility of the Executive, that they were bent on reducing to nullity all power in the State except their ovk n. Ths President, on every possible occasion, had manifested the strongest determination not to submit to such an extinction, nor to permit the seizure of military power by the leading factions of the Assembly. To have done so would, in fact, have been to sacrifice not his own position alone, but the constitutional rights—the means and hopes of settled and tranquil political existence — entrusted to him by his vast constituency. The only chance of preserving such political quiet clearly lay in in the re-construction, while it was yet time, of the clumsy and discordant C ons tit u ti o n, which every day's experience sunk into deeper condemnation, as absurd in theory, and unmanageable is practice. En tangled in the bonds of M. Marrast's contradic tory and involved provisions of fundamental law, it was evident that the country could have no chance cf making its way safely through the dangers of disturb ance aad anarchy that beset the coming p ar. Yet the Assembly refused to remove those bonds, rejected every 1 practicable solution proposed to it, occupied itself in un• justifiable combinations for objects that lay backward in the pa t, instead of co-operating honestly with the Go vernment to meet the difficulties of the future. In short, the nation, anxious to be rid of the clog that threatened to drag it down into every kind of danger, could look only to ono man for release, and that man was Louis Napoleon. Foiled in every attempt to deal with the obstacle within the walls of the Assembly, he has fol lowed the prompting voice of the most influential classes of the people, by cutting the knot which he was not per mitted to loosen. Nothing could show more strongly the profound conviction prevalent through France, that the Assembly had forgotten its duties and mistaken its proper course, than the quiet approval with which the middle classes contemplated the impending fate of their representatives, while a coup d'etat was merely a thing talked of; and it seems, as we judged would be the case, that nothing could be more complete than the indifference with which the actual cessation of their existence, as a member of the body politic, has been regarded by the citizens of Paris. The complete failure of the successive attempts at military domination en the part of the leaders of the Assembly could not fail to bring utter ruin to their ambitious hopes, and to establish more strongly the power against which their machinations were directed. Military usurpation was the last chance of success for the chiefs of the old parties; for they had done nothing to win the confidence of the people, and had promised nothing to gain their support. They had no principle on which to rely—could declare no courseon which they were agreed—were surg ing blindly, recklessly on to anarchy. The appeal pro posed by Louis Napoleon to the only possible foundation of a political system that revolution has left to France, namely, universal suffrage, was, in fact, the last and so litary way of escape from a revival of that instrument of evil, the Convention, and perhaps from all the horrors of 1793. To the result of such an appeal everything that has yet occurred leads us to look with confidence. The intrigues of those unwise adherents of the two branches of Monarchy, to whom so much mischief has of late been traced, may bo considered to have re ceived their finishing stroke. These persons must, in French phrase, " accept the situation," and be content to abandon their projects for such Government as tl 'e nation is prepared to accept and welcome. diffi culty which the Ex ecut i ve Power will yet have t ' o e will, no doubt, be that ancient ono of revolution, the reconciliation of Republi can j ealous restrictions of a Go vernment that forms with the necessary sixty year s ' course of political trousles, a new part in a appealing f or i ts very creation, and d An Executive depending for its very existenc e on t h e most Democratic principles, will yet be char ge d w i t h the stri ctestand most vigorous re pression of th e dangerous tendencies .: o k f D h s e moc ti r n acytn practice. In thi s diffi cult part of hl sup port of the P res id ent, if Louis NapotlEteson, the elected to that post, will b e i n the loyal consistency with w hich, even in these last bold measures, he has a dhered to the principle professed by him throughout—that the people l in the wid est sense, and they alone, must, in tb,e present state o f France, be the source of power, held whatever r u l er t h ey may choose. Of himself ho has a e . r tempted to establi s h no sov ereignty—he no power epowfree beyond th a t w hi c h h o em ploys in giving the nation dom to do its own work and mike e i c t e s ss o a wn ry, beyond ail choice. In order to give that freedom, it was doubt, to get rid of the had shown it- ' self so disp , sed to employ its last.day s riaplotting against that free action of public opinion to which the coup (rout refers the whole settlement of future govern ment. Louis Napoleon has done his part, and has done it boldly yet moderately. It is now for France to do hers resolutely, yet, let us hope, peace fully. A chief chosen by the universal voice, hold ing his office for ten years, supported by a Council of State, and by a double Chamber—such are t h e recom mendations of Louis Napoleon; and with whatever feel ings they may be received by the more advanced sec tion of the republican body or the partizans of the mo narchic houses, they must be admitted to present to the middle classes of France a better prospect of a fair field a could 3 fl dbeePi thr their industry , ~.. /.......----- %u. , an E l ß •th i i i n s g i 1 cos!e, F - ' Paris c__ cause Paris is in .4,, <.. quil, be)auso tb change their feeli The siege was proclaimed yesterday mornieg a t a n early hour. The declaration of Paris being in a state of siege, was the accompaniment of an edict from the Elys eel dis solving the National Assimbly and the Council of State, followed by an appeal to the country on the principle of universal suffrage, in favour of a ten years' Presidency, and two legislative Chambers.

Why, then, should we wonder at i heto which Louis Napoleon has taken? Human nature eosin not have borne the provocation he had received at the hands of the Burgrzves. It is their act and deed quite as much as his. They have done it all, so far as regards supplying the motive. The ground for surprise le , not that the President has had recourse to this extreme ex pedient now, but that he so long refrained from taking the step. Never did man, in his situation, bear s o much and so long. The majority in the Assembly seemed to imagine that their sole mission, as members of the Legislature, was to harass, annoy, and in every pos. sible way, insult the President. And assuredly, had that been the express purpose for which their constituents had returned them to the Assembly, they could not have more faithfully or perseveringly fulfilled their mission. crime ofr to see his persona For nearly two years there has scarcely been a day .in which some new manifestation of personal hostility to LOll3 Napoleon, has not been made. And even when an adjournment of the Assembly took place, it was not until feeling of personal hostility,rno movement t tin o g f L C , 5 Committee of Permanence was appointed, to watch with vigilant eye every under the pretext that he was supposel to entertain pur poses at variance with the Constitution. Nor did this intentional insult, in any degree abate • hthe lapse of with time. It seemed, on the contrary, to become more intense with every fresh rising and setting of e st o acts Napoleon, cso f the sun. It only appeared to have reached its climax, when the implacable personal foes of the Presi dent gravely proposed, some four or five weeks ago, to deprive the Executive of all right of control over the army, and to assume that power to itself. Had they suc ceeded in that attempt, they would have had their re venge gratified to the full ea Louis Napoleon. They would have wreaked their wra . h with no sparing hand on his devoted head. The dungeons of Vincennes would have been his first destiny, to be followed, very possibly, by something even worse than that. Though defeated in that attempt, they still determined to persist in affronting and seeking to injure Louis Napoleon. Close on the heels of the majority's defeat on the question to which we have just alluded, came the attempt to carry the Responsibility Bill, and even so late as Saturday last, the commission appointed by the Assembly to prepare a measure in accordance with the principle of Presidential responsibility, as laid down by the majority. devoted a bitting of several hours to the consideration of the propriety of impeaching the President, in certain contingencies, which they regarded as of possible occur rence. We give in the words of the comman 7 cation, from our able Paris correspondent, which appeared in our impression of yesterday, the proceedings before the commission en Saturday. " Si. Psudie," says our cor respondent, " who lately proposed us an amendment, that the President cf the Ae,em!ely ehould be invested with power to call out any troops that he may require for the defence of the Assembly, again presented an other amendment, to this effJet:—' The President shall be impeached fur high treason if he should att. mpt an unconstitutional re-election, by causing the law to be viilated, or not punishing any public functionaries who may attempt to further tits re-election.' Another amendm( nt, equally hostile to the Presid , nt, was pre sented by M. Combat de Lyval: —' It shall be high trees s! n fur the President to provoke the vleletion of :he Con stitution by bribes, threats, cr promise:, or other arti fices.' Be:h of these amendments, dirt oily aimed at the President if he should attempt his re-election, were rejected after strong discussion, %hen M. Berry's'. pro posed :—' The President she!' bo impeached fur high treason if he attempt to violate the 45th article of the Constitution,' M. Zanvier said that he thought all these propositions so objectionable that he should vote for none of them. A tremendous scene of recrimination then followed, when, finally, M. Berryer's proposition was carried by seven votes to six." What mortal, we again ask, could always submit to the system of ins u lt and attempt to injure, of which these proceedings of Sa turday constituted but the last scenes? The wonder we Inc it, is, that Louis Napoleon could have displayed the forbearance hu has done, under such great and manifold provocations. But thecrisis has come at last. The day of forbearance has passed. Louis Napoleon has ap pealed from his personal enemies in the Assembly, to the people. He will not appeal to them in vain. They have not been inattentive to what has been passing before them during the last two yoars. They have not been unconcern: d spectators of the scenes which have lately been exhibited in the Assembly. They are with Louis Napoleon—with him almost to a man. His foes have no party without the walls of the Chamber. They stand alone. And now that matters have come to * climax, they will quarrel and become divided among themselves. Like a nest of conspirators who have beeu detected and defeated, they will begin to indulge in mutual recriminations. We shall have a new illustration of the old adage respecting honest men getting their own, when a certain class of persons fall eat. We are sure that, in France, the universal feeling must have been one of utter weariness at the state of things which has latterly prevailed, and that there must be a corre sponding delight that an end has been put to it. We have, we repeat, no apprehensions of the result of the appeal which Louis Napoleon has made to France. Is would not surprise us, should a still greater number vote for his re-election than voted for his elevation to the Presidency of the. Republic in 1848. &Tit e General Post-offi es m ar o e rni e n n g t —thspate th h.) SEABORNE MAILS. by r rhe gigni nigh a t es ja h n a d t m the by mathiles , When made up in From what FLAMM.
