As the speak el diribiesisetion approaches, the jour-
nal end the partims on the one side and. on the
Wrier beams mere animated in their eulogies, and
tarn Amos in their invective. The number ofjournals
which =wet Leeds Napoleon, being in fact those of
the so-ea moderate party, are much more numerous
than them in the 'Merest of General Cavaigaao. The
Journal dee Moats, which lately declared for General
Cavaignac, has not actually turned round to Prince
Louis, but has at Last deserted the cause it first ad-
vocated, and is silent. Independently of the official
journals, the evening and morning Moniteure, the only
Paris. journals which at present support General
Gvaigosa are the National and the Weis. The
of the red republic support M. Ledru Rollin,
and the Bien Public and the t burrier Francais sup-

port M. Lainartine.
The Oniegittstionnel gives, to-day, a sort of mani-
, test% addressed to the moderate party, which,
elta having the form of the leading article of that
jowa is understood to have been prepared under
the superintendence of the leading men of that party.
It is too long to be extracted in full, but the following
may be taken as a specimen of it:
Let es my what is jut. M. Louis Bonaparte is not a
man of genius. But, is General Cavaignao one ? M. Louis
Bonaparte did not gain the victories of Rivoli and Marengo,
DM did he frame the civil code. But did General Cavaignac
gain thus battles in his command at Clemens, or did he
frame the code? M. Lcuis Napoleon ie • men of upright-
ness, good sense and understanding, modest, and perfectly
self-possessed. These qualities are worth many others.
Louts Bonaparte, in floe, has in his favour the moderate
party. With him, we repeat, a wise republic will be sub-
stituted for the republic of demagogues • an army preserving
its organisation forms its strength ; it is the maintenance of
the right of sending substitutes, so indispensable for our
fields; it is an equitable and not a progressive taxation; it is
a Gee and not an impseed education ; it is the permanency
of our magistracy ; it is, in fine, a wise administration ab-
stracted from wherever talent and experience are to be burl,
replacing the commie's:in and sub-commissaries of the pro-
visional government, dressed up with the titles of pre-
fects and sub•prsfects. Despairing of the cause of the
partisans of General Coverts, In default of further argu-
ment., they say that it is wished to draw the country into
fresh commotion'. Hays they fully comprehended the gra-
vity of then words? Commotions! Why so? We put
this question distinctly to them. If M. Louis Napoleon
Bonaparte presents himself, not u emperor, which is im-
possible and ridiculous, of which he bas never entertained a
thought, but president, elected by univenal suffrage, is there
a faction which would have the effrontery and courage to
refuse him investment with a power conferred upon him by
the sovereignty of the people? If a faction so criminal were
in existence, we do not hesitate to say that it ought is be Se-
rived of its power as immediately as possible; bad the resat
UM and legal means of doing so would be to appear in bent
of it with a legal title in hand ; for the whole country would
be en its side, while its opponents would he only a few fowl
dons subalterns. If, on the contrary, as we believe, this
threat of commotion is only an election manoeuvre, made seas,
of la the hops of alarming the friends of peace, then tine
ma be ao Saar of inch ennssetion, and this and argument be-
some, valueless. We shall say thee, in conclusion, to Use
moderate men of the country, there are men who, after
having tried them, you will have nothing more to do with ;
you have a pacific means of excluding them; then are
thugs, the admission of which in your institutions, and yew
laws, you desire to prevent ; you have a pacific means epee.'
venting this. The general having become wedded to those
men and these things, vote forhis competitor, who repudiates
them—vote for Louis Napoleon Bonaparte. By this vote yea
will produce pacifically the change you wish to effect; sad 11
no one, believe firmly, will dare to resist the authority et
universal suffrage.

Another election has jest taken place, and precisely

Last evening there was circulated in the Chamber
a report, which 1 refrained from mentioning, because
I could find no good ground for it, and it looked like
one of the Bourse fabrications. It is, however, given
in most of the journals this morning. This report is to
the sthet that King Chinks Albert has been poisoned.
The mere fact of the King's death is given, without

they will give the details to-morrow. No credit
seems to be attached to the report, nor is it given by
the journals which are generally scrupulous as to
their news.
It is said that a telegraphic despatch was received
yesterday from Turin, demanding what attitude the

nearly 3 per cent. The bank shares closed at 1465

IMPORTANT FROM NAPLES.

INTLELLIGENCE OF THE POPE.
RECEPTION BY THE ROYAL FAMILY OF
NAPLES.
Our correspondent, writing from Paris yesterday,
says : lam at length enabled to send you some &-
' Baits intelligence of the movements of the Pope. I
have received this morning despatches from our oon
at at Naples, which come up to the evening
s[ 27th ult. Their contents prove the incorrect.
nese of the report received yesterday by a banking-
house here, and which is given this morning in the
Paris journals, to the effect that his holiness had.
sailed for Malta. It appears, from the information
supplied by our correspondent, that the Pope arrived
at the Moles di Gaeta, at two o'clock on the morning
of Sunday, the 26th, having left Rome at about five
o'clock in the afternoon of the preceding day. The
chief agent in his escape was Count Spohr, the
Bavarian ambassador at Rome. The Pope was dia.
pitied as the servant of the count, wearing a wig,
moustachios, and a round hat. The Bavarian minister
was assisted in his enterprise for effecting the escape
of the holy father by the ministers of France
and Holland. The three ambassadors demanded
of the guards who surrounded the person of
the Pope to have a private conference with
him, at which they were no doubt accompanied by
several members of their respective suites. After the
pretended conference, they succeeded in getting oat
the Pope unobserved, in the disguise above men-
tioned, as one of their attendants. The carriage of
Count Spobr was waiting in the neighbourhood, and •
the Pope, accompanied by the Count, favoured by the
darkness of night, succeeded in reaching the Neapo-
litan frontier. On arriving at Gaeta, his holiness
went to the residence of the bishop of that diocese,
where he remained, and sent Count Spohr to Naples,
with &letter to the king, announcing his escape, and
that he bad thrown himself upon the hospitality of
his Majesty. Without a moment's delay. prepara-
tions were made for the instant departure of all the
members of the royal family for Gaeta. The steamers
in the harbour prepared to sail. A battalion of the
Ist Grenadiers of the Royal Guard, and a battalion of
the 9th Regiment of the line, were embarked on
board two steamers, to form a guard of honour for
the pontiff. These were followed by the steam-
frigate Tancredi, bearing the king, queen, and all the
princes of the royal family, with a meet numerous
suite, who went to Gaeta to do homage to the head of
the church, and to offer in person the hospitality
which was solicited.
The escape of the Pope, and his flight to Naples,
were not altogether unexpected there. A day or two
previously, nine of the cardinals, among whom was
Cardinal lAmbruschini, had arrived at Naples, and it
was believed that they had been informed of the
secret purpose of the Pope, and had prepared the
Neapolitan government for it. The arrival of the
Pope at Gaeta was also telegraphed to Naples before
the arrival of Count Spobr.
The king had returned to Naples on the evening of
the 27th, having left the queen and the other
members of the royal family at Gaeta with the Pops.
The ambassador of Rome at Naples had also gone to
Gaeta. On the morning of the 27th, the French
steamer Pluto left Naples for Gaeta, having the
French admiral on board. The ultimate destination
of the Pope was not certainly known at Naples, but
it was understood that he would come to that capital,
and probably occupy one of the suburban palaces at
Portici or Caserta. The entire corps diplumatique of
Rome had arrived at Naples, with the single ex-
ception of the Sardinian minister. The Spanish am-
bassador at Naples had also gone to Gaeta.
Nothing could exceed the state of excitation pro-
duced by these events at Naples. A great reaction
against the liberal movement was expected. Our
correspondent mentions various preparations made
apparently with a view to operations against Sicily.
Mr. Temple had not yet arrived, bat was hourly em.
posted.
The conditions proposed for the settlement of the
difference between Naples and Sicily had been re-
jected with contempt by the Sicilians. The condition
allowing the king to form his army according to his
own discretion, was especially revolting. The con-
ditions, as mentioned, were the following: The pro-
clamation of the constitution of 1812 ; a separate par-
liament ; the second son of the king as viceroy ; the
king to form his army at his own discretion.
