NEWS FROM PARIS.

PARIS, SUNDAY, 101 A.M.

If the result of this first experiment of universal
suffrage have been the sinew expression of the
opinion of the French peoptli; it is incontestible that
ultra-democracy has no partisans in France beyond a
contemptible fraction of the population. This is so
glaringly evident that the organs of that party, such as
Xe.fitrnie, so far frtm pretending to deny it affirm
it with an affectation of candour and frankness ; what
they deny, however, is that the result of the elections
is toe sincere expression of the will of the people.
They affiiem that the local functionaries and placemen
&milted under the monarchical regime were impro-
perly pertnitted to continue in office, that they pre.
sided over and influenced the elections, and that, con-
sequently, their returns have been modified by their
principles. It is to be feared that this persuasion, or
the affectation of it, may become the origin of new
disturbances.

In my letters of Friday I mentioned an apprehen-
sion of an rmeitte on Saturday. Precautions were
taken, and the day passed over tranquilly. The same
fear, however, is entertained to-day, and will be to-
morrow. The following ominous leader appeared
to-day in the organ of M. Ledru Rollin, La ReVarau. :
The reaction has attained its ends. It has divided the
nation in two ramp.. It has re-established between two
classes of citizens (meaning tn. bourgeosie and the ouvriers
the line of demarcation which the revolution of February had
effaced. The struggle between these classes has recommenced,
blood has been shed at Rouen, at Ell:recut—blood which
is precious from whichever class it Sows, and which
will return upon all those pr.moters of discord whose haunts
are around us. Yes, it is by the instigation of all those
shameless organs of the last two reigns that the nation is
moved and agitated—that nation lately so calm, in which all
sentiments seemed confounded in the common love of
country. No, It is not to she eriniaimarisia of the govern-
ment that these disorders are to he imputed: those commies
series against whom the population was frequently excited
on their arrival, and even before they exercised any act of
authority. And aye the people aware of whom they thus
make themselves the agents, and who are the provokers of
this civil war? Have they not seen the ambassadors of St.
Petersburg and London witnessing their doings on April
16?—Let Me l'atriots rally, let them discipline them.
selves, let them be prepared for every event, for the danger
is imminent, and the moment is not distant perhaps when
they will have need of all their courage.
So far as the returns of the departments are yet
known, it appears that M. de Lamartine has been re•
turned for nine departments, M. Armand Nlarnsst for
four, and M. M. Dupont de l'Eure, Arago, Marie,
Cremeius, Ledru Rollin, !testicle, Pagnerre, Corme-
nin, Alyce, and I'erdiguier, for two.
A decree appears in the /Ifoniteur of this morning,
signed by all the members of the government, calling
General Cavaignac to Paris, and appointing General
Changarnier governor of Algiers.
Resides the disturbances I mentioned in my letters
of last evening, accounts have also arrived of distur-
bane. s at Nismes, and in the Puy de Dome, and the
Department of the Indre.
A report prevailed yesterday that the meeting of
the Assembly would be postponed to the lath May,
and this fact is mentioned as certain in some of the
journals of this morning. I have however good
authority for stating that up to last evening no such
postponement was contemplated by the government.
A private letter from Rouen, dated yesterday morn-
ing at nine o'clock, reported that the insurrection had
reappeared in the Faubourg St. Severe. 'fhe
national guard and troops of the line were engaged
with the insurgents. At a later hour, however,
letters were received, dated two o'clock in the after-
noon, which announced that the city was then en-
tirely in the power of the military authorities. The
troops circulated freely in all parts of it. It was be-
lieved at Rouen that the troubles at Ellertif would be
soon appeased.

MAIMII).—We have received the mails of the
26th. Their contents have not much geaeral intercst.
Deplorahie accounts are given of the system of perse-
cution and terror exercised against the progressist
party by the government, now possessing dictatorial
powers. A fresh insurrection is constantly expected.

LOMBARDY.—The only news is the official
bulletin of the attack made upon Verona by General
Sonnaz, at the head of twelve battalions and a bri-
gade of cavalry.
Letters from l'arma say :
Vicenza, Treviso, Padua, Hassan°, and all the towns,
in short, are filled with barricades. All the bridges
are cut. Trenches are opened in all the street'. The
populations are well armed. To conquer Venetian inde-
pendant* will cost the Austrians dear : eight cannons are
planted. The Roman volunteers are received with the
greatest enthusiasm. It is believed that a part of the 12,000
troops of General Durando will remain at Padua. The
army is 4,000 strong, under the Piedmontese general La
Marmosa.

lidineis threatened, as we learn by advice' from Venice
of the 21st of April, to be beseiged by the Austrian'. A
movement is expected to be made on the side of Codroupo.
The Gazette of Milan, of the 24th, says :
The head quarters of Charles Albert are now at Borzoi°.
It is said that he intends to attack simultaneously.
Peschiera, Verona, and Mantua, to prevent the garrisons
rendering assistance to each ether. The Provisional Govern-
ment of Milan has abrogated all the Austrian decrees
condemning Lombard subjects for political offences.

LATEST FROM PARIS.

PARIS, SUNDAY, 6 P.M.
I was favoured to-day wiih an opportunity of ic-
speetinc the interior of the hall destined for the
National Assembly. Nothing can be more simple in
its form, arrangements, and decorations. It is, of
course, constructed chiefly of timber, a necessary
consequence of the rapidity of its erection.
Its form is a parallelogram, the length
of which is about twice its width. The
bureau of the president is placed at one end, and
under it the pulpit for the orator. The seats surround
the three sides rising from the centre backwards, and
the upper part is surrounded by shallow galleries, for
the public. The building being temporary, no attempt
whatever is made at architectural effect or decoration.
The Provisional Government visited it today, to
satisfy themselves that it could be ready for the as-
sembly on Friday. Of that point there is no doubt,
and the rumour of the postponement of the opening is,
I am assured, destitute of foundation.
I am assured that one of the four ultra-democratic

members of the Provisional Government, ii.l7locon,
has given his adhesion to the moderate majority.
The Del)o4 of this morning has the following :
AU that we yet know of the result of the elections does not
allow us to form a definitive judgment on the future 'RIM-
bly. We go further If all the elections were known, the
judgment could but be conjectural. No one can predict
what will be an assembly of 900 persons, of whom the greater
number appear for the first time on the p ditical stage.
Is is strange, however, that the journals which have the
character of organs of the most ultra-republicans eppear
very dissatisfied. They themselves proclaim their defeat
with a kind of affectation. What do they wish? At Paris
the most moderate party of the party of the Provisional Go-
vernment has obtained, it is true, • considerable majority.
M. Lamartine has the enormous number of 260,000 votes.
But the Luxembourg has not been beaten. M.I. Louis
Blanc, Albert, and Flacon are elected, and the number of
voter', 129,000, for M. Ledru-Rollin is far from trifling. We
*leo find on the list many names which cannot give umbrage
to the repuhlican party,—Jules Betide, General Duviv,er,
General Cavaignac, Causaidiere, and many operatives, who
joinptor to democratic opinions, it is said, an incontestable
ca
It is more difficult to appreciate the elections of the de-
partments. Ansoart the same' already received the un-
known form the lame majority. We do not say this in the
way of reproach. We demand new men, and new men are
synonymous with unknown men.
The names known are members of the old opposition.
Could the republicans of yesterday expect to carry all the
elections ? A government may be upset by a succeed il coup-
ri,main, but it is not ea easy to chao=s the spirit and habits
of a country. Only three months since the deputies of the
left were popular, why should they have suddenly be-
come unpopular?
The republicans of yesterday, beside*, it must be acknow-
ledged, arc not known in the department, in • way the
most advantageous for themselves. Sent so commissaries,
and to promulgate republican opinions, they wished to
alarm—they have only succeeded everywhere to irritate.
If the small number of nominations were to be taken IN
protests,lnay they not be attributed to this ill-advised =ea-
sel»?

We think too great risk would be run of deceiving oneself
by judging of a whole list by one only name that may be
known to us. With the present mode of election, the most
different opinions may exist ono beside the other. The
moderate may have 100,000 votes, but the ultra will have
50,000, and they are both dented. We must hare better
grounds to form our judgments.
At preseut we can do nothing but conjecture. Toe
approaching assembly, we do not doubt, we nevi!. have
doubted, will ratify the republic. It will be, as a whole,
moderate. Has an opinion ever existed that it would be
otherwise ? It is true the party in the escecdant have used,
land properly used its influence.
But to obtain of France an anarchical, violent assembly,
hratile to the rights of property, France herself must first
have been conquered, terrorized, and manacled. Was a
great he expected from univers II suffrage ? IVho imagines
France to be Montagnard, terrorist, communist? If you
are sincere, then congratulate yourself on the result of the
elections, such as you must base foreseen it, for it proves
that France is copehle of governing herself, and that she has
considered as serious the appeal you have made to her
sovereignty. Moderate, she has named • moderate assembly.
To have named another would have been en her part an act
of abdication. . . . . .

The first step she took in republicanism would have been
towards slavery. Free, and endured with courage to declare
her wishes, she would have succumbed under the yoke of
a minority ; under the name of a republic, we should have
adopted tyranny. We believe that no one seriously meant
to terrorise France, but there was an appearance of wishing
it, and that was sufficient to create a universal resistance.
Avian, if you love liberty, if you sincerely adopt universal
suffrage, and the sovereignty of the people, do not complain,
your principles forbid it. Congratulate ye...mires, even
though your private interests and party passions are not
served. Would the monarchy have been overturned, think
you, to substitute the dictatorship of a few men?
We are ourselves very impartial in all this. We judge u
lookers on. It is not we, come what may, that will direct
the approaching amiably. They who to-day are called
moderates, were three months sine,. our most violent ad-
versaries. But there is always one sentiment present wi.h us
superior to were party,—the love el our common country.
For her we &winds* triumph of moderation in the republic,
as we desired it in the monarchy.
We have received the following return of the elec.
tion'in the department de la Marne :

Lord and Lady Normanby dined yesterday with
M. Lamartine. In th%eveniag there was a large patty.
A general meeting of the shareholders in the rail-
way of the north took place yesterday, the 29th, M.
Rothschild in the chair.
The report stated a great increase in the traffic, and
proposed a dividend of 91. 95c.
It is said that many agents of commercial houses in
England have received large remittances in gold, to
lay out in Parisian produce at the present low prices.
Many purchases have been made at 20 and 23 per
cent. discount.

DISORDERS IN THE FRENCH PROVINCES.
ELMEUF is restored to tranquillity. The arrival
of a detachment of the 52nd of the line soon put an tod to
the emeede. Two of the rioters were killed, and many
wounded. Two of the national guards were wounded.
ROUEN.—It is said that not a single national guard has
been killed or mortally wounded.
LINIOGES.—We have received to day the following per-
ticulars of the disorders at Limoges: On Thursday, about
twelve o'cl. at, when the general examination of the votes
of the cantons had rendered certain the exclusion of the
communist candidates, a great crowd besieged the roam in
which the electoral operations were carried on, and took
possession, in spite of the remonstrances of the employes,
of the pr.ces verbatta of the canton, and the
bulletins of the army, which were immediately
torn to pieces. Immeeliutely afterwards nu fleeing
bands paraded the city, disarmed the posts of the
national guard, seized the cannons and the magazine. At
the news of this attempt against the libetty of election, the
national guard immediately assaulted, determined to restore
order and defend the republic, but the colonel gave them
orders to disband, and the city was then in the power of
the insurgents. A committee was immediately formed,
and to on itself the administration of the department.
Happily so act of violence to persons or property was com-
mitted. Some of the national guard have been slightly
wounded. The whole city is in a state of consternation.
They wait with impatience the inti rvention of government
to re-eatabli-h its authority. _ The insurgents have levied a
forced contribution of 750,000 francs on the town. One pro-
prietor is taxed thus for 7,000 francs. It is said, hut we know
not on what authority, that this instate was in connexion
with an intended general movement of the communists
after the elections, and that, as they did not break out in any
other places, Limoges will soon return to order. The
ouvriers at St. Leonard, a neighbouring town, intended to
march for Limoges. The other adjoining towns oftved to
send their national guards to put down the " bncule." All
the respectable families who cuuel get away have left the
town.

By the Levant Mail we have received edvices from
Constantinople to the 17th, Athens the 20th, and
Malta the 24th. There is no intelligence in the
despatches of much interest, except the following
ATHENS, APRIL 20.
The National Bank, having been run upon, has
been compelled to suspend cash payments. The directors
applied to the government for assistance ; ut, alas, the
government was as poor as the bank. All b
the ministers
could do was to pass a hurried law through the houses
of parliament to suspend the obligation to cash bank
bills for the period of five months. These bills, meaa-
while, will have a bonus of two per cent., payable
to the bearer. The state of the bank is to be published every
week. This is the only satisfaction the holden will have,
for, if there is no money sow, there will be less in 5 months;
for England has demanded, and strongly too, that the
interest of the loan shall be paid immediately. Grew*. in
fact, is in a complete state of bankruptcy.

SECOND SALE OF THE LATE EARL SPENCER'S
SUORT•I4OII?4B.—This sale on Friday was attended by tome
hundreds of noblemen, gentlemen, and breeders. The
auctioneer, Mr. Wetherell, of Durham, commenced the sale
between two and three in the afternoon, and the proceed-
jpgs were not concluded until the evening. For the cows
ind heifers, consisting of seventy-five lots, prices ranged
from thirty to two hundred guineas. The bull Usurer,
by The Lord Warden, was sold to Lord Duels for 400
guineas ; and Upstart, a bull, by Lamplighter, was sold
to Sir Thomas Cartwright, for 200 guineas. Some
little bull calves fetched a good price, one about two months
The
old being sold for 52 guineas, about 10s. per lb.
produce of the sale of the Cows and Heifers amounted
to 4,100 guineas, and of the Bulls 1,304 guineas, making
a total of 5,404 guineas for the entire herd. At the
former sale, about a
year and a half ago, the sum realised
was nearly 5,000 guineas.

INDIA

ARRIVAL OF THE
OVERLAND INDIA MAIL.

The overland mail from India was delivered in
town this morning, bringing accounts from Calcutta
to the 23rd, Madras the 24th March, and Bombay Ist
of April. It reached Suez by the steamer Ajdahs,
together with the following passengers:
Mrs. G. A. Leskie, and three ehi.dren ; Mrs. Stevens,
and three children; Mrs Sandy., and two children; Mrs
It. H. Showell; Mrs. Waugh, and child; Mrs. Grimes,
and two children; Mira Gray; Lieut.-col. B. beton ;
Major W. M. Coghlan ; J. Don, Esq.; 0. W.
Ketterer, Erq.; W. Frith, Esq.; Capt. It J. Stanley ;
G. Colquhoun, jun. Esq. • C. Forbes, Esq. • Lieut. W. F.
Marriott; W. B. Wright, itsqd E. H. Loniden, Ent. ; Dr.
W. G. Prichard; Capt. D. avidson ; Lieut. G. Ryley ;
R. S. Helene, Esq. ; A. Dunbar, F.eq.; H. G. Lencastvr,
Esq.; V. Greenberg. Eq.; Capt. Onroes ; Lieut. Bracken-
bury ; A. Cathcart, Esq. ; F. D. Tulluh, Esq. ; J. B. Maine,
Esq.; Surgeon I'. W. Burt.
From Calcutta we learn the occurrence of two
failures in that city, that of Messrs. Haworth, Hard,
man, and Co., prostrated by the fall of corresponding
firms at home ; and that of Mr. Barkies an Arme-
nian merchant, of high standing and good repute. A
meeting of the creditors of Haworth, Hardman, and
Co. has resolved that the hnstueas there shall be
carried on by Mr. W. Haworth, under the in-
spection and control of Messrs. Turner and Cado-
gan pending a treaty with the partners, Cargill,
Hee:diem, and Co., of Newoastle, and Hardman
and CO. of Liverpool. It was also resolved that
Mr. T. Cargill be requested to proceed to Eng-
land fur the purpose of meeting the creditors of
the firm there. The meeting recorded its sympathy
with the members of the firm, and certified to their
exemplary conduct in the highest terms of praise.
The liabilities are stated at 159,0001., and the assets
at 102,0001. In respect to the stoppage of payment
by Mr. Sarkies, nothing has yet come before the pub-
lic in an authentic shape.—'fiio Union Bank and its
miserable affairs continued, of course, to occupy public
attention, but little has transpired as to the
progress of the arrangements for winding up.
The trial of the post-bill question had been postponed
two or three times, and once, at least, on account of
the absence of a material witness, Mr. W. F. ()rant,
who had accompanied his father, Sir J. P. Grant, as
tar as the Sandhearls.

Several memorials on mercantile subjects had
been laid before the governor-general. One of these
is from the respectable part of the community con-
nected with the shipping interest, soliciting some
measure to repress the practices of the crimps. Lord
Dalhousie stated in reply that, having been the party
who framed the Crimping Act at home, he could very
well credit the assertions made by the memorialists.
But, in the first place, his local knowledge of the sub-
ject wee of limited extent ; and in the second the
navigation laws and the general questions of inter-
national law which were involved were tender ground
to tread upon. For both these reasons nothing
would be hastily adventured, but the deputa-
tion was assured that his lordship was alive
to the importance of its recommendations, and
that they would be kept in mind. The mer-
cantile community had, it appears, also addressed
government on the subject of the indigo duties, and
it was expected that they would shortly be abolished.
—The Ghuznee prize-money has at length been
ordered fur distribution. Its net amount is
' re. 2,43,322 4 7, of which one-eighth goes to the
estate of the late Lord Keane, the commander-in-
chief, leaving re. 2,12,907 to be divided among
the troops and officers. A share is only re. 212 1,
and • captain is to have 120 of them.—Sir
Herbert Maddock, late deputy governor of Ben-
gal, whose five ye as in council have expired,
has been re-appointed a member of that body,
subject to the orders of the court of directors.—
It has been stated that the investigation into the
accounts of Sir Thomas Turban, the late Ecclesiastical
Itegistrar, though yet far from complete, shows a de-
ficiency of 986,000r5.! It has also been currently
rumoured that for the last two or three years not a
rupee of the money received has been brought to
book !—Trade, which was improving had been
again thrown back by the English news of the 24th
of January. What effect the intelligence received by
the mail of the 7th of February, arrived on the 19th
inst., might produce, cannot yet be known, as busi-
ness had been suspended on account of native holidays.
The navigation laws, so far as India is concerned,
have been abolished, and from the 25th of March,
1848, ships of all nations import goods on equal
terms. The duties on goods passing from one port
in the Company's dominions to another have been
extinguished. The island of Singapore is a free
port altogether, where not so much as a custem-house
exists. It is on the highway betwixt India and the
Eastern Seas. Goods from China, Manilla, or the

Dutch East Indies, imported into Singapore and
shipped again from India, will be directly free. It is
supposed that this is an oversight, and that it was not
intended by the act.
The news from Western and North-Western India,
will be found in the following letter from our corres-
pondent;

BOMBAY, Aram 1.

The news received by the Moozuffer Of the revo-
