FRANCE.

PARIS, SUNDAY EVENING.

What particularly strikes one on a survey of the
men who have come forward as candidates to the
Ligislative Corps, is the small number of eminent
or influential names, either on the side of the
Government or of the Opposition. Attempts were
made to draw from their retreats a few of those
who, in other times, occupied a distinguished place
in the political world, but without effect ; and the
candidates who have come forward as representing
tha Democratic party ;would, perhaps with few ex-
ceptions, be disavowed even by the National, were
it in existence.
The merits of the respective candidates have
been already noticed. I may now say a few words
on the operations which opened at 8 o'clock this
morning in all the Mairies of the arrondisements of
Paris. I have just paid a short visit to most of them
—viz., the first, second, third, sixth, eighth, tenth,
eleventh, and twelfth. I remarked that the number
of electors who have attended for the purpose of
voting is less than might have been expected in
proportion to the voting tickets which had been
taken out ; and these tickets, so far as I can ascer-
tain, exceed in number those which were delivered
in 1852, when General Cavaignac and M. Carnot were
also candidates. Another peculiarity which (Hs-

tinguishes the present elections in Paris is the far
greater number of tickets taken out by the working
and poorer classes, who have flocked in greater
numbers for their tickets than the bourgeoisie. The
reason for this number, small when compared
with the three hundred and fifty thousand regis-
tered electors in Paris and the Banlieue, is said
to be a recommendation previously given to the
workmen and the poorer population not to vote
the first day of the election. Rightly or wrongly,
they entertained the suspicion that during the night
between the hour of closing on Sunday evening and
of recommencing on Monday morning, the too-
zealous agents of the Government might take upon
themselves to remove the seals which are affixed to
the ballot-boxes before being transferred to the re-
spective Mairies, abstracting the tickets that were
unfavourable to the Government candidate, and
substitute others of a contrary description. This
feeling acquired for the last few days such
consistency among the working class, ever sue-
picious of the good faith of those in power, that in
the Banlieue the National Guard requested to be
allowed to take the place of the regular soldiers, to
whose care,tb.e ballot-boxes are entrusted during
the night. The Government at once acceded to
the request.
The working people who have voted to-day are
those who are not in the habit of losing a day's
labour, dr of observing what is called `• Saint
Monday." The immense majority who spend
Sunday outside the barriers, will vote early to-
morrow. It appears that a pledge has been given
to that effect reciprocally. The aspect which the
voting places above-mentioned presented this fore-
noon was in general not very animated.
The Russian Government has authorised the
Emperor of the French to take copies of the
French manuscripts in the Imperial Library at
St. Petersburg, which afford useful information
with respect to the history of the 18th century.
The Government has received information that
the Chinese who murdered the captain of the
French brig Anais had been arrested by the
French admiral in the Chinese Seas, and subse-
quently tried on board the Virginia and executed.
