fail of Quarter-Diaater Ebden, of the Levies, be for- gotten. 4. Colonel Mackinnon forwards with his report one from Lieutenant -Colonel Eyre, describing a very spirited \ a ff a ir with the enemy on Comm ittee's hill—as well planned by the commander and executed by the troops. The combination of infantry and cavalry was well di rected, and whenever these combinatioas are duly ob served success is the result. Lieutenant-Colonel Eyre er has been most conspicuous in this Kafir war, and nev did his personal gallantry, and that of his bold 73d Regiment, shine with greater lustre than on this occa sion, and to which Major Armstrong (his officers and soldiers), in command of the Cape Mounted Rifles, and ' a detachment of his " Horse," most nobly contributed. 6. In all operations, the good fortune of some part of the troops, by being more prominently engaged, renders them the more conspicuous; bat this does not detract from the merits of all their gallant comrades, who rejoice at success redounding to their own honour, and hope that in the next fight theirs may be the most conspicuous part of a glorious field. 6. The C om mander-in -Chief desires to compliment Colonel Mackinnon for the perseverance displayed in all his operations, and on their success, aided as he has so nobly been ny Lieutenant-Colonel Michel, Lieutenant- Colonel Eyre, Lieutenant-Colonel Burns, and those offi cers especially noticed by him and by Lieutenant-Colonel Eyre in his report. The conduct of the troops has well ma i n tained the character of British soldiera, a d n the loss sustained by the 2 d Queen's Royal Regiment stands prominent on the regimental records ot the former achievements of this gallant corps. 7. Colonel Mackinnon expresses his thanks to Lieu tenant-Colonel Michel, commanding-, 6th Regiment; Lieutenant-Colonel Evre, commanding 73d Regiment; Lieutenant-Colonel Burns, commanding the Queen's Regiment; Lieutenant Harris, commanding the Royal Marines; Major Armatrong, commanding the Mounted Levy; Captain Campbell, commanding detachment of the Cape Corps ; Captain Catty and Commandant Davies, commanding t he Levies; and also to Major Ro binaon, of the Queen's, and Major Pinckney, 73d Regi ment, commanding detached parties of their Regiments; and to Captain Faunce, Brigade Major, and Lieutenant Whitmore, Cape Mounted Rifles, acting as aides-de camp. The services of Major Wilmot, Royal Artillery. Lieutenant Pasley, Royal Artillery, acting as staff officers, and of the officers of the medical department, are also brought to the notice of the Commander-in- Chief, and his Excellency desires to express his appro bation of the services and ::xertims of all these officers, as well as cf th:2se of every officer and soldier under their command.

ITV Ib/A 1)111 6 LONDON, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 6, 1851. Bydila time we s hould imagine that M. Louis NAPOLEON BONAPARTE must be convinced of the gross mistake which he committed when he lent his aid to the parti-pretre and reactionaries to escamoter the Republic. No man ever so completely performed his portion of any political bargain as did M. Louis NAPOLEON. Did he not dispatch the expedition to Rome to crush a sister republic, and to restor e the obsolete and ob scuran ti s t despotism of an ignorant, corrupt, and persecuting priesthood? Did be not deprive the University of France, which numbered among its professors every literary and scientific no t a bility of the day, of all con t ro l over public edu cation, and hand over all the schools and schoolmasters of France to dealt Tr:lth by the Count DE MoNTA• LVIBEET and his Jesuit colleaguesas to departments them might ayord. seem most fitting ? Has he not proclaimed in a state of siege, dismissed some 300 m e solved I% municipal councils, and 139 re g i men t s l of National Guards, as be himself tells us in hi s Message, in ord er to se cure their sup , po h r e t ?noAwndteclisd us,he not against his b etter judg rn2 nt, a consent to introduce a law disfranchising 3,000,000 of electors ? And now, finding tint he has by this wholesale disfranchisement precluded all chance of his re-election, the only consideration which he asked for all his services, when he proposes to repeal that law, the whole of the reactiouaries turn upon him as one man, denounce him—him the author of the expedition to Rome, of the law of public instruction of the law fettering the press, him the prosecutor of GENT, him the persecutor of KOSSI3TII—as an ally of the Mountain, and therefore to be crushed at all hazar ds ; and, had it not been for the votes of the Republicans whom he had denounced as conspirators in the opening paragraph of his Mes sage, his Ministry on their first appeal to the Assembly would have been left, not in minority, but absolutely without a single vote. Well may the National y of reparation. We call Wednesday the da had hoped that the PRESIDENT would have at length perceived the folly of attempting to carry out any further the vacillating and personal line of policy which Ike has pursued during the last three years, but, up to the time of the delivery of the Message, it would ap pear that he still clung to his old hallucinations. How otherwise are we to account for the introduction into his Message of such a passage as the following : " A vast demagogical conspiracy is now organizing in France and Europe ; secret societies are endea vouring to extend their ramifications even into the smallest communes. All the madness and violence of party is brought forth, while these men are not even agreed on persons or things." By this time we imagine that M. LOUIS NAPOLEON BONAPARTE must be convinced that it would have been much better that be should have denounced the Absolutist conspiracy organizing in the Cabinets of Russia, Austria, and Prussia, for the suppression of liberty in Europe, and for the territorial division, i f need be, of France, than have lent himself to the propagation of this absurd fable of a demagogical conspiracy, of which, if it exists, he himself must be, according to the Assemblie Nationale, .a member. That veracious journal, which supported him in every measure calculated to ruin and betray himself and the Republic (for however much he may imagine to the contrary, his own interests are indissolubly con nected with the maintenance of the Republican form of government in France), now turns upon biml and not mollified by even his denunciations of con spirators, or of his vigorous application of martial law to two additional departments, thus casts him out as Anathema-maranatha. " The PRESIDENT of the Republic," says the Assemblie Nationale, has ceased to be the elected of the party of order; he has for ally the Mountain; he has just agitated the country ; be has just compromised the sad remains of our prosperity ; he has just given arms to civil war." After this declaration of the accredited organ of that large section of the so-called party of order, which is known as the Fusionist, and which is represented by MM. G UIZOT, BERRYEE, MOLE, and DE BROGLIE— after the no less solemn repudiation of himself, and his pretensions by the Ordre, representing the ODILON BARROT and TRIERS clique, the Union representing the moderate Legitimatists, a'd the OpinionePub/ique,representing the ultra- Legitimatists, M. Louis NAPOLEON BONAPARTE must be in deed deficient in spirit ehould be ever again truckle to this " party of order," or seek, or even accept if offered, a reconciliation. The Journal des Dgbats thus justly appreciates the self-contradiction of the PRESIDENT'S Message : it says—" As to its political portion—the only part which we will allude to—it is confined to two essen tial points—it proposes the repeal, pure and simple, of the law of May 31, and announces the intention of persisting in the policy of order and of resistance to anarchy which the Parliamentary majority has supported during the last three years. From the very first the pretension to conciliate the two articles of this programme appeared to us difficult, adventurous, nay impossible." The Journal des _Mats is right, it is impossible to con ciliate the two articles of this programme ; and if M. Louis NAPOLEON BONAPARTE will, even at this late period, do his duty honestly to the Re public, and observe in spirit, and not in letter merely, the oath which he took when inaugurated President, to maintain the Democratic Republic (for it was to that he swore), we see, in this very impossibility, a chance of his yet regaining his lost ground. Let him at once recognise the impossibility, and as Chief of the Republic, chosen by universal suffrage, declare his determination to restore the Republic to its integrity by maintaining, at all hazards, the cause of universal suffrage ; but, in order to secure the support of the Republicans he must not be content with this, he must at once cast in his lot with the democracy, he must propose the repeal not only of the Electoral but of the Educational and the Press Laws, of all anti democratic laws in fact, and, having done this, and by so ding having convinced the French people of his sincerity, he will be in a position, as the chief, the trusted chief of the Democracy, to call upon the Absolutist Powers to cease their iutrigues, to disband their armies, and to leave Italy and Germany to manage their own affairs. In the event of this refusal, the French liberating army might again make the tour of the capitals of Europ•-, and whether they refused, or whether they gave way, Louis NA POLEON BONAPARTE would be hailed by the eman cipated nations as the Liberator of Europe. That it is in his power to do all this we doubt not, and if he only act honestly he will do all this. Will he act honestly? The new Law of Evidence Act, which came into operation on Saturday last, has already been resorted to on several occasions of trials at nisi pries at Westminster Hall. Indeed, the absence of the testi mony of one or both of the parties in disputed cases, will henceforward prove the exception, and not the rule. What barrister can venture to argue on pro babilities, or to put forward a glowing description of supposed " facts," that had no better foundation than his own vivid imagination, when his client might, if he had thought proper, have come forward and given a clear and satisfactory explanation of every doubtful point ? The practical ingenuity of the Learned Gen tleman must, therefore, with few and rare exceptions, be restricted to actions for breach of promise of mar- riage,:or of crirn. con., which have been perhaps judi• ciously excluded from the operation of the recent statute. In every other case, any person who can throw any light on the subject under investigation is a competent witness on his own behalf, or he may be subpcenaed by his opponent, and a refusal to attend will be regarded as fatal to his interests, unless the cause of his absence be fully explained and accounted for. Even a wife may (except in criminal cases, or actions of the kind above referred to) be examined for or against her husband. Some degree of doubt had been expressed on that topic, many experienced and able practitioners contending that the well-known rule of law, which made the con fidence between married persons:inviolable, was still in force, and that, although the husband might be called on to give evidence against himself, the wife could not ,be required to do so. This view of the subject was sustained by a description of the probable dissensions that might arise between those " whom GOD had joined together," in the event of either suffering injury in consequence of the evidence of the other. The verata questio has, however, already received a judicial decision : Mr. Justice ExLE on Tuesday held that "in other than criminal cases the wife was a goad witness." This opinion of the Learned Judge is so much in accordance with common sense, ithat we have no doubt it will be maintained by his judicial brethren. 11, whether tfwouldind;leadintbieff or st defendant, rangeif, would whenthe party himself, be bound to come forward,declare and, regardless of pe cuniary consequences, the truth, the whole truth, and nothi ng b u t th e truth, and been cognizant of his wife, who might, p er h aps , h ave ac t e d as his agent in t h e t rans a c tion , every circumstance that required elucidation, should effects of the Act be prohibited from appearing on either side. If such were the case, the salutary might be got rid of by persons who cont emp l ated fraud taking care that their wives should re very negotiation and con. s that the law tract. It present them in e is no t always in accordance. We and common sense are s Is that the ruling of Mr. un- Justice DILE is as soun d in point of law a have no doubt, howe ver, questionably judicious on the more ex tended view of the subject. Different versions of the same t ransaction have already been put forward by different parties, and there is no doubt that such discrepancies will but too fre quently arise, even where the opponents may be both actuated by conscientious motives and anxious to give accurate accounts of all they know. Such things cannot possibly be avoided. Men, where their own interests are at stake, are accustomed to regard matters through mitted facts. A greater danger, and that which constitutes the chief, if not the only objection to the system, is, the temptation to perjury, to which dishonest persons are exposed. This is unquestionably an evil, and one of no ordinary magnitude. We cannot, however, hope to arrive at perfection ; we must only strive for the attainment of that which, on the balance of advantages, shows " the greatest good to the greatest number:' On calm and mature consideration, then, we are con vinced that the regulation will tend rather to the diminution than the increase of perjury. An un conscientious and unscrupulous person, anxious to obtain a verdict, per fas out nefas, and heedless of the means by which his object might be attained, could easily procure others of similar character to bear false witness. Subornation of per jury is as grave an offence as the actual perjury itself. Nay, on the same principle that " the receiver is frequently worse than the thief," it may be more dangerous to society, and merit a more stringent punishment. Besides, it involves the guilt of several distinct individuals—of the man who gives as well as of him who receives the bribe. And yet many prsons might be found who, with a strong perver sity of disposition, would not venture to commit the offence directly, of which they would be quite willing to receive the proceeds indirectly—that is to say, when it could be obtained by the crime of a third person. The rule, too, will have the effect, if not of pre venting, at least of greatly diminishing, the number of dishonest claims, as well as of unjust defences, The bill-swindling fraternity will find that their in famous occupation has received " a heavy blow and great discouragement," while those who refuse to satisfy well-founded demands on the ground that the claimant would find it difficult, if not impossible, to prove his case, will begin to think that honesty is, indeed, the best policy. On the whole we are con vinced that the Act will work well, and that when it has received a fair trial and its operation has been tested by experience, it will be pronounced one of the most valuable measures of legal reform that ever re ceived the legislative sanction. Elsewhere will be fould a paragraph announcing the celebration of the interesting festivity of the Polish and Hungarian Ball as certain to take place on Thursday next, the 13th instant, under circumstances of the most auspicious character. Assuredly no in ducement whatever can be wanting to attract the sympathies of the public at large to an enterprise of this description, more particularly when it is remem bered that now, more than ever, the merits of the twofold cause here advocated are opened to universal appreciation. Had, however, any additional at traction been required it would certainly be dis coverable upon the present occasion. We allude here not so much to the additional efforts made by the managing committee to secure every accommodation to the public, though they have unquestionably been most energetic and efficacious• Neither do we refer to the supplementary sources of entertainment, though these of themselves would be sufficiently remarkable, as may be seen by refer ence to the arrangements made for retaining in the Guildhall the superb decorations employed forty eight hours previously in the carrying out of the festi vities of Lord Mayor's-day, and to the fact of the interest of the ball being very considerably increased by the concert announced to take place in the Council Chamber at the same time, thanks to the generous as,isrance afforded by se►er'al artistes of distinction. Our allusion is to the promised appear ance among the company amembled at Guildhall of Lou►s Kossuzu himself, the de jure Governor of Hungary—A personage whom every Liberal in Eng land is just now solicitous to honour as at once the Dictator and Representative of the heroic race of the Hungarians. Tinder these propitious circumstances, we cannot for an instant doubt that the Polish Ball of 1851 will be the most brilliant and successful yet achieved through the instrumentality of the Noble Lord the Member for Marylebone. , ' 1 ii;lf; i ..; '' . ..„.4..4- 4 1:1 ‘ iii. 4lolß _.. i i ...• - - . , .. t7fltlif,, , :. , Ii z 4/4,014 ' ~..t ' . , r , - -,....... : 4 • - "" f. .2‘ - • ' • -...-, ~ I, ..--- ,‘ 3- LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING NOVENI:BER 6, 1861.

Whenever this state of facts shall arise, the I jury may be a little puzzle d, but that will be all the evil. Neither party will have committed perjury, for be will have stated nothing that he did not be lieve to be well founded, and it is possible that the gentlemen who are to prono unce a verdict may be assisted, rather than otherwise, by obtain ing the various impressions created in the minds of two honest men by the same transaction. One or the other will probably be corroborated by circum stances ; but regarding the matter ,in the most unfa vourable light, the conflicting testimony can scarcely prove more perplexing than the ingenious suggestions and fine-drawn deductions of a clever counsel on ad bonds; persons condemned to more tha thre months' imprisonment by the application of Arts n . 439 e, 443 , 444, 445, 446, 447, and 452 of the penal code; soldiers con demned to the puishment of public works, or to wear the heavy ball on the leg; individuals condemned to imprisonment by the application of Arts. 38, 41, 43, and 45, of the law of March 21, 1851, concerning the recruitment of the army; and individuals condemned to imprisonment by the application of Art. 1 of the law of March 27, 151. Art. 5. Persons condemned for violence to the public authorities, or for violating t he law relating to secret societies or clubs, or that concerning the hawking and sale of books, cannot be inscribed on the electoral list for five years after the expiration of their punishment. Art. 6. Individuals who shall have incurred a condem nation for crimes provided for by Arts. 338 and 339 of the Penal Code, shall be struck out of the electoral list for a period of not less t han five, nor more than ten years, the duration to be fixed by the tribunal. Art. 7. Soldiers and sailors in active service will con tinue to be divided into the different sections of each department, and their bulletins collected and sent to the chef lieu. Art. 8. No one shall be proclaimed representative at the first ballot, if ho has not received a number of votes equal to one-fourth of the electors inscribed on the elec toral lists of the department. Art. 9. In case of vaca ncies by resignation or other wise, the electoral college which is to fill it up must be summoned, within a delay of six months from the date Of the notification made by the President of the National Assembly to the Minister of the Interior. Art. 10. For the drawing up the electoral lists, all the regulations provided for by the law of May 15, 1849, are to be observed. The annual revision of the lists will also be regulated by that law. Art. 11. The law of M a y 15, 1849, will also remain in force for elections in Algeria and the colnnies, until the promulgation of the orga nic laws provided for by the constitution. Art. 12. All the former laws are abrogated, in so far as they are contrary to this law. In consequence of the refusal of the Assembly to vote urgency, this Bill must now be referred to the Council of State. M. Durtri has been re-elected President of the National Assembly, and MM. BEDEAu, Danu, and BENOIT D'Azy, Vice-Presidents. Another and more numerous meeting of the Par liamentary Club of the Rue des Pyramides took place on Wednesday evening at the residence of N. DARU. The meeting charged its bureau to come to an under standing with the other clubs belonging to the majo rity, in order to decide in a spirit of conciliation on the course of proceeding which it is proper to adopt under the circumstances caused by the vote of yester day, rejecting the urgency demanded by the Govern ment for the new electoral law. Another question which occupied the attention of the meeting was the eventuality of interpellations which might be ad dressed to the Minister of War on the subject of his last circular to the generals of the army. The meet ing thought that at this moment these interpellations would be inopportune and even dangerous, and it expressed a wish that they should not be produced from the tribune. In case they should be brought forward, it decided that it would be advisable to vote against them.

They demand 100 duros (5001.) ransom for each of them. On the previous day an English war-steamer came in search of the brig. Two armed boats were sent along the coast—the Moors fired on them, and compelled them to return to their ves sel, which afterwards discharged several broadsides. The Moos lost two men, and the English had several wounded in the boats. As Great Britain does not usually leave such things half done, it is probable that she will not long delay taking ample vengeance for this in ' suit to her flag, and that a sufficient force will soon be sent to make the Arabs feel the consequences of their piratical conduct."

The KING of the BELGIANS on Wednesday opened the Chambers with the usual ceremony. His MA GEST! WaS accompanied by their Royal Highnesses the Duke DE BRABANT and the Count DE FLANDRE. Having taken his seat o n the Throne, the KING de livered the following speech : the mGiedisittleomfeyn'Zinl finding pleasure in after two years, in in again informing you that the situation of the country continues pros perous end tranquil. This situation, which attests the solidity of its institutions and the excellent spirit of ite inhabitants, recommends Belgium to the esteem of o ther nations. Our relations with foreign pt continues owers feel the happy effects of this , and r a a ...overn to maintain the most friendl y relations with them. " Several laws of g reat interest were voted in the last two sessions. I may mention, amongst the most im portant, the law on p rovisions, and those which consti tute the National Bank, the service of the cashier of the state, the general retiring pension fund, the societies of mutual assistance; the laws which regulate superior in struction and enseignement moyen, and, finally, the new legislation which reforms the regime of bankruptcies, and the mortgage system. A number of laws were proposed to you in the last session with the double object of re establishing the equ ilibrium of our finances, and of pro curing the executio n of Public works, which, an element of security, are specially i A mportan alt to the and I m take pleasureaterial pros pmerit o fth°country believing, pawing per mitted these measures of an i ncon t es table utility to be adopted. I form ardent wishes that this difficulty may soon be solved in a p rudent s p irit of moderation, and in conformity with the interestcountryg discussion. has not of the country. Present circumstances, gentlemen,• render more than ever desirable the harmony of the powers of the State; and Belgium, which during four years has maintained herself in a peaceable and strong situation, will not have, I hope, to encounter painful embarrass ments in the managesnent of her affairs. Independently of the new laws which will be presented to them, the Chambers will have to occu py themselves with Bills of which the examination or the vote was suspended in the last session. You will, no doubt, place amongst your first labours the legislation on consular jurisdiction, OR forests, the Bills relative to preventive detention, and to forced expropriatio n ; als o t he reformation of the Penal Code, and the new law on personal taxation, des tined to establish the tax on more equitable bases. The law on public charity will likewise shortly be submitted to your deliberations. " The state of the harvest is satisfactory. It assures to all classes of the population the advantage of abun dant food, and gives to our farmers a more considerable remunerat i o n than in many other countries. .Agricul tural industry does not cease to develop and improve itself. All the efforts of the Government tend towards that object. The improvement of cross roads has taken great extension of late years. The advantages which the good state of communications procure to agriculture are better appreciated every day, and the communes second efficaciously the action of the Government and the provinces. The sanitary state of the country is gene rally satisfactory. Under the impulsion of the Govern ment, the local authorities rivalise in zeal to ameliorate the hygienic conditions of the laborious classes. Manu factures and commerce maintain themselves in a pros peroas situation. Our exterior commerce, which at tained, in 1849, a degree of development to which it had not before arrived, did not lose its elasticity in 1850, and everything promises us for the current year not less favourable results. "My Government has opened commercial negotiations with different States of Europe. A treaty of commerce and navigation was recently concluded with the Govern ment of the Netherlands. The negotiations with Great Britain have been brought to a close; and the onerous and exceptional tax, w hi c h, during the last twenty-five years was imposed on our flag in the ports of England, will cease to weigh on our commerce. " The Universal Exhibition of London has procured to Belgian manufactures a new occasion of displaying their activity and their spirit of progress. To the eulogium on our manufacturers, I am happy to associate that of our artists, who have worthily supported the reputation of the Belgian school, both at the Exhibition of London and in the general Exhibition which my Government opened for the Fine Arts. " Our civic guard continues to give proof of zeal it and patriotic devotedness , and th e country may count on as on its brave army, whose good spirit, instruction, and discipline, I cannot too much praise. The examination of all the questions which concern our military estab lishment hare been confided to a commission, whose labours will be subsequently communicated to the Cham bers. Ido not doubt that this impartial examination, followed by Parliamentary debates, will have for result to establish the national institution of the army on strong, stable, and definitive bases. "It is with coefidence, Gentlemen, that my Govern ment makes a loyal eppeal to tour co •opvtratioa.

Trade at the Cape is mi serably " cut up," except in branches connected with the military service The portion of the Message of Louis Napoleon which touches upon financial affairs is favourably con strued; but, after all, those affairs can only be measured relatively. Taken per se they are not what can bo wished, nor eau any country long continue with an annual deficiency. Considering the revolution, it is undoubtedly extraordinary that the revenue should be so flourishing, and afford.• another to the many proof's already obtained of the great resources of France as well as of their elasticity. That there should be an ac- tual surplus on 1850 is most gratifying, and we trust the anticipation fur 1851 will be realised, although much must depend on the maintenance of peace and the pro• raised reduction of the military force. There are some hints at a loan, to cover forint r deficiencies, if the As sembly thinks fit, but this would not be raised in the Loudon money market ; nor is there a cnauce of French railway undertakings being prosecuted with English aid. The financial report of the King of the Belgians in his speech is likewise encouraging, but the differences of opinion that retard the measure for balancing the in come and expenditure is a present drawback. The ex port trade was satisfactory last year, and thus, with good crops, Belgium may be said to be industrially and financially prosperous.

The Constitutionnel supports him as a matter of course, and M. LAMAR-. TINE at length enrols himself among his supporters. The Pays thus speaks of the Message : " As to the new policy which the Message proclaimed yesterday, it is ours. We have constantly defended it; we have not ceased a single day to demand the re-establish ment of universal suffrage as a reparation, and the par tial revision of the Constitution as a solution. Because this policy becomes that of the Government, it will not cease to be ours, for it has not ceased to be that of right, of equity, and of necessity; and if we see it so highly supported now-a-days, we are more happy than proud. Our pride is only the gratitude and confidence of our patriotism." The SUcle, the organ of the CAVAIGNAC section of the Republicans, also supports the Ministerial measure for the restoration of universal suffrage. It Says— `! The arguments of the President are the same as those we have been bringing forward for some time. He supports himself on the defects in the law; he shows that it has gone beyond its object, that it was unjust, and contained the germs of civil war, that it brought the powers of the State into disrepute, and that, in fact, it was in flagrant opposition to the text of the Constitu tion as to the Presidential election, a text which requires a certain number of electors which the law of May 31 will never furnish. One thing which we must admit is, that the President of the Republic has had the good sense not to make the re-establishment of universal suf frage subordinate to any condition; he has merely sought to demonstrate to the majority, a demonstration, how ever, which but slightly concerns us, that in the re pealing the law of May 31, the difficulties which in the Assembly and the country opposed themselves to the revision of the Constitation would be smoothed down. The majority did nut allow itself to give way for so little; it evidently did not expect anything so clear and so posi tive; it immediately rejected the urgency demanded by the Ministry. M. Berryer had the bad skill to throw himself in the way of a first favourable vote. He unfor tunately found a pretext in the incredible order of the day of General Saint Arnaud. France will judge of the causes of this hostility, which suddenly breaks out be. tween the majority and the President of the Republic. She will not allow herself to be led away by all that re action and its adherents may imagine to impede the re establishment of universal suffrage. She will not lose sight of the fact that the tranquillity of men's minds, the security of industry and the certainties of the future de pend on this re-establishment. She will unanimously declare all those to be enemies of the country who by mis chievous considerations of party and of personal interest should oppose the repeal of the law of May 31. There never has been any cause for that law. We defy any one to find a substantial argument for its being main tained." The following is the text of the new electoral Bill presented to the Assembly by the Minister of the Interior :-- Art. 1. Within thirty days after the promulgation of the present Bill the electoral list will be drawn up by the mayor, aided by two delegates from each !com mune, named by the j uge•de-paix, and living in the canton. Art. 2. It shall contain in alphabetical order all Frenchmen 0121 years of age, in possession of their civil and political rights, and inhabiting the commune for six months at least; such persons as shall attain their majo rity beforo the definitive closing of the list; soldiers and sailors on on duty inscribed on the electoral lists of the commune, where they shall have satisfied the necessary conditions.
