(TROY OUR OWN

PARIS, TUISDAt EVIDSINO.
The triumph, by, on an average, more than
1,000 votes each, of all three of the opposition can-
didates at the second elections for Paris, has as much
surprised the victors as it has disappointed the go-
vernment Yesterday afternoon the issue of the
struggle was considered most doubtful, the republi-
can committee, knowing the immense influence that

wu brought to bear against them, were resigned to
defeat; but the meet sanguine did not venture to
hope for the election of more than two out of three
of their men. Paris has given its "lesson to govern-
ment." Out of the eight seats allotted by the
Constitution to intramural Paris, five arc now filled
by opposition members. Even including the ban-
lieue as part of the city, one half of the entire popu-
lation has pronounced for the republicans. The
names of Cavaignac, Carnet, Goudehaux, 011 ivier, and
Darimon--elected by the rich quartars of the Banque
and the Boulevards, the traders and manufacturers

of the Hues Montmartre, St. Denis, and the cor-
responding faubourgs, and the bourgeoisie and ope-
ratives of the quarters of the Temple, Faubourg St.
Antoine, and Faubourg St. Marceau—protest loudly
against the opinion that Paris is resigned to the less
of political liberty. The victory has been achieved
in spite of a serious division among the leaders of a
democratic party, which at ono time threatened to
make the movement abortive—in spite of the objec-
tions of many liberals to vote fur men who they as-
sume will be deterred by the oath from taking their
seats—in spite of the entire influence of the execu-
tive power concentrated at these second elec-
tions upon the three circumscriptions of
Paris alone—in spite of alarming and furi-
ous articles of the government press denouncing
the opposition candidates and their supporters as
rebels and socialists—notwithstanding the entire
absence of public meetings and electioneering
speeches to excite the population--and notwithstand-
ing the degree of apathy necessarily resulting from
the consciousness that no immediate practical result
was to be expected from success. Who shall may
now when English journalists express their doubts
as they are wont to do, at long intervals and with
moderation and reserve, whether the present
despotic system is calculated to last long
in France—that they meddle with matters
of which they know nothing, and insult France
by criticising institutions with which French-
men are content? Hereafter when the Em-
peror takes his drives in the capital it will be im-
possible for the accounts of his enthusiastic recep-
tion in the ifoniteur to chase from his mind this
thought—that at least every other man he wee has
voted against him, and that a vast proportion of the
others arc functionaries, government purveyors, de-
pendents, or ernpinyJs, whose support is only to be
relied upon so far as their immediate pecuniary in-
terests are concerned. So far as I can hear, how-
ever, there is not the least intention of accepting the
lesson. The task of governing Paris by the votes
of the ignorant masses of the peasantry will
be persevered in with renewed ardour, and
it is more than probable that the preys,
whose short saturnalia of liberty has produced
such an unlooked-fur result, will be subjected to
new restrictions.

The listafetie has received a warning for an
article of yesterday, and has not appeared this'
evening. lam not sure whether the warning is
aot a third one, which may be accompanied with
suspension.

You will remember that simultaneously with the
second elections in the departments there were to be
three others in the departments, namely, in the
Maine and Loire, Somme, and Mayenne. No com-
plete or positive news of the results have been
received. I hear it said that M. Delamarre, the
editor of the Patrie, who was the government can-
didate in the Somme, has been thrown out in favour
of M. de Morgan, and I think the news probable.
In the town of Angers (Maine and Loire) M. Bor-
dillon, the opposition candidate, polled 4,222 votes
againt 1,700, given to M. Dubois, the government
candidate.

The government evening papers cannot find a word
to say about the imue of the Paris elections. The
Preget, asks what the Constitutionne/ and Petrie now
think of the tactics which they have so obstinately
pursued, of giving a sinister signification to the
opposition candidatures. Will they now respect the
constitutionally elected representatives of universal
suffrage whom they yesterday insulted?
The Courier de Paris says:
The electoral period has thus terminated by a result com-
pletely at variance wit► the fears or hopes of the Amen-
' tkeists. The partisans of universal suffrage have reason to
rejoice at the calm with which this solemn demonstration
has bean accomplished. The agitation, ecereely perceptible,
his bean legal, regular, pacific, and the population of Paris
haa, by its dignified attitude, worthily responded to the
slanders of its habitual accusers.
At the Bonnie the Bente opened under the
influence of the elections, at the figure quoted on
the Boulevard last night, Intr.; but there was a
marked recovery in the afternoon, and it closed

very firm for account, at (Mr. 15c., being a rise of
lOc. For cash there was a rise of oc. Mobilier
_ _

closed without change. Railways did not recover
with the Rents from the fall of the morning.
Northern (new shares), fill 211 r. &I•.; Mediter-
ranean, 12fr. 50c.; and most of the other lines
from Mr. to 10fr.

SPAIN.

The l'aris Pay. says :—" We yesterday announced
that troubles, promptly repressed, had broken out in
the south of Spain. We believe the fart to be that
a band of twenty-five men stationed in the defiles
of Sierra Morena (Andalusia), stopped the mail and
burned all the letters. But this band was ener-
getically pursued, and nothing more iv to be appre-
hended in that quarter. It appears, however, that
seditious pamphlets against the Queen are circula-
ting privately. The cabinet is resolved to discover
and punish the authors of these odious manifesta-

- - ---
tient. The sittings of the Cortes will soor be forcibly
suspended, the number of deputies now present in
Madrid not being sufficient to insure a house."
