PARIS, TIEUR DAY, 5.30 P.M.
The Iffoniteur du Salr gives the fo!lawing as the
result of the elections in 12 departments :
Moderate Candidates. —Arriege : General Pelet.
here: M. BerraL Haute. Pyrenees: M. Goulard.
Var : MM. Clapier and Simeon. Ardeche: M. de la
Tourette. Allier: M. Dufour. Cher: MM. Des-
granges and Vogue.
Sec alist Candidatea.—Bas Rhin : MM. Girard,
Vidal, Valentin, L:kulaye, Huchtulh.
Cher :M. d'Etchegoyen. Nievre :M. Charles Gain-
bon. Haute Vienne : M. Ducoux. Saone-et-Loire :
MM. Raga:roe, Muter de Montjau, sea., Charassin,
Buvignier, Hennequin, Lain.
The Gazette de France says that M. Vidal being
elected for the Bas-Rhin and having pledged himself
to take his seat for that d. partment, there will be
another election for Paris. Iu that ease there will
'inevitably be a Socialist returned by a large majority.
Louis Napoleon is overjoyed at the result of the
Paris election, because he thinks that the majority in
all its fractions, must fall back upon him for support.
Whilst he thus argues with his most intimate friends,
he profe.ses aloud to be much grieved at the triumph
of the dem crate, and says that he will give up hie,
sword (rendre mon epee) to the Assembly, and form
a coalition ministry. M. More is the only man who
as yet seems ready to fall in with this view of things,
but he perhaps does not sufficiently bear in mind that
he failed in his endeavour when celled upon by Louis
Philippe to form a cabinet. M. Mole possesses less
supporters now perhaps than then. The legitimists
will probably reply to advances by saying that they
might consent to what they call a nunistire repara-
teur ; but the President should then sacrifice
all his ideas of personal aggrandizement. It
seems almost impossible, however, that any remnant
of hope can remain to him of the possibility of a coup
d'ettat. The votes of the army, given u they have
b en, in a large majority, to the democrats, must CND-
plcely extinguish all expectations of support from
that quarter.
Be there suppos!tione as they may, the president
believes in the necessity—which the conservatives
must feel—that they must reunite in order to regain
strength, and join him also, in order to form a com-
pact majority against the democratic party. To that
end ho is ready to sacrifice M. Barrot at once ; and I
may inform you, almost positively, that that minister
is on the point of resigning, if, indeed, he has not
done so already. It is said that M. Leon Faucher
succeeds him. I hive not been able to ascertain the
foundation of this; but the mere rumour made the
Bourse rise to-day considerab y.
While each is the state of things it is painful to see
the organs of the Oeleanist and conservative parties
give way to the expressions of resentment which have
appeared in them yesterday and to-they. If sanguinary
thourits are in the mind of any party in Paris they
are surely at this moment in that of the men who, in
spite of intrigue of every kind, have b. en powerless to
bring in their candidates for elections in Paris.
Revenge ie at hard, they ray, for the lesson which the
opponents thought to give will fell b.ck upon the
Bret prom qtrs. All this, and much more, do the Debate
and Constitationnet give way to in their annoyance at
the oleo oral resat'. But really there is no necessity
for all the wailing and grief that is shown. Society is
not en ser'ously m mc.ul as Ihe organs of reac:ion
would make people believe, kit the election of three
democrats is a prote4 against the weaknesses of a go-
vernment which the Dibita and its supporters
would, it it could, render weaker still.

The Presse is not far wrot,g whoa it says "It
ii not true that the cause of order hu received a
cheek. We sty aloud, and with a firm voice, that
the cause of order hos just triumphed, for by the an-
ti one of Match 10th, the p. oilo have shown what
could be d Joe by twilit at d mud. ration."
