H. Lion Faucher, one of the vice-presidents of the
maim of the Rue de Poitiers, has published simal-
Wooly with the above a similar address, which.
*ugh not profewing to be published by him as the
:Egan of that party, is quite understood to express its
sentiments. M. Uon Faucher demonstrates that
neither the government nor the Assembly can without
a gross abuse of the functions conferred on them by
the people interfere in the presidential election. He
waistline that the commission of a representative im-
=this in this respect an especial reserve, and
blames those meetings of representatives
which have declared for a particular candidate.
M. de Lemurtine has not, it appears, relinquished
his candidateship. There appears in the journals to-
day a sitsech delivered by him at his chateau near
Ilium, on the occasion of the inhabitants of that place
presenting him with a flag, in which he declares that
be could not without a grow violation of his duty so a
citizen withdraw his candidate:hip. He will not
elicit the electors either by himself or through his
friends, but he will accept such support as they ma 7
give him. He repeats his claims, grounded upon his
conduct atter the 24th Feb., and his services in the
interval between that and the epoch of his retirement
from the government in June.
The Bern hiblie, which expresses the opinions and
es/assent- the interests of M. de Lamartine, has a
hiding article on the presidential question to-day,
which laws streng masks of emanating directly or
indirectly from M. de Lamertins. In this it is =un-
tamed that whether Gen. Cavaignac or Prince Louis
be elected the will of the French people will not be
legitimately termed by such a result.
A letter is said to have been written by ;Nlarshel
Bugeaud to M. Thins, in which the marshal observes
that he ie surprised that the intention should have
been attributed to him of supporting the candidate-
ship of Gen. Cavaignac.
The gnat atedority of representatives have pro-
*Danced in favour of Gen. Gewgaw. The represen-
adives of the Deux Sevres, du Nord, du Pas, do
Oalaia and Finisterre have made a united declaration
In his favour. The representatives of the department
of Vienne have recommended General Cavaignac to
their constituents.

An associstieobasjset been formed here under the 1
title of the Democratic Association. the professed ob-
ject of which is to combine the action of all citizens 1
haakly and seriously devoted to the republic, and re-
solved to realise in practice the constitution. The
president of this society is M. Bnchez, first president
tithe Assembly. It will hold a meeting this even- '
ihff for the purpose of deciding on the candidateship
for the presidency which it will adopt. Its choice will
probably] fall on Gen. Cavaignac.
The Cmatitutiunnel says that the interview between
the commiitee of provincial editors and M. Thies on
the subject of the presidential election has been incor-
meetly reported, for that M. Thiene did not on that
mean= use any expressions personally offensive to
say /swim
The Bishop of Langres, the Abbe Lepinay, and the
Abbe Leblanc—all members of the Assembly—have
pkilished disavowals of the electioneering circular
winch the Bishop of Orleans published in the names
elan the ecclesiastical representatives. MM.Cesale*
Abbot, Fournier, and other earlesisatical representa-
tives, equally, it is said, disavow the circular.
The relation between the Bank and the state
keeps public attention awake to the financial diffi-
culties of the government. Theis* have been to-day
the subject of anxious discamion in all circles,
and although well informed person, entertain no
serious apprehensions, it is agreed on all hands that
nothing short of a full, frank, and satisfactory report
ea the pert of the minister of finance, will reassure the
country. The epoch of the payment of the dividends
is approaching. Next month government will have
6) provide, exclusively of the daily expenses of the
date, a round sum of sixty millions of francs. To
meet this it has only the instalments of the loan and
the actual amount of its portfolio, the value of the
entente of which is unknown. M. Goudchaux, late
sinister of finance, recently affirmed that the amount
ef values in this portfolio on the 24th February was 56
million,. It was 47 millions in September, 1847. It
*nevertheless, now stated that its amount is, or
likely Irv, 139 millions. The public requires to
bow how Weida be, considering the extraordinary
financial difficulties of the present year, the drain upon
the public purse, and the notable decline of most of
the indirect taxes.

Ern ion (Paris paper), of the 18th inst., publishes
letter signed Cabrera, and dated from Cubells,t he sth
1., in which that general repudiates the amounts
given by the government journals of Spain, alleging
Mat they are mostly false; and asks if the statements
mode of the repeated defeats of the Carlist party were
611 r, why the government should have sent 50,000
}eked troops, and the ablest of its generals, into Cata-
lan, and have demanded 8,0:0 men of Portugal
led he ameludes by saying, " I can only repeat that
ay system will not be changed. Strong in my con-
tact*, in the honour of my soldiers, and the power-
fsl sesiotatice of this loyal and generous province, I
*lll pursue the defence of my legitimate king, and
Ow independence of my country."

PRUSSIA.—An outline of the following news from
&rho, to the 13th inst., appeared in part °four Satur-
dare throe. The forcible disarming of the Burgher
Huard' hed commenced, but no bloodshed had ensued.

The National Assembly bad been expelled from the
Town Hall. They had unanimously adopted a re-
dation to the effect that the Brandenburg ministry
had not the right to raise taxes as long as the
National Assembly held its sittings at Berlin.
A letter from Berlin, of Nov. 16, gives a descrip-
tion of the meeting of the assembly, and its being
