FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

FRANCE.

PARIS, WEDNESDAY EVENING.

The Moniteur announces that M. Abbatucci,
Minister of Justice, will replace M. Achille Fould,
in his function of Minister of State, during the
temporary absence of the latter. M. Fould has
already left for England, where he is attracted by
the Manchester Exhibition. _ _ _

The Ultramontane-party has, through the Uni-
vers, leelared itself in favour of an active inter-
ference in the elections. This decision is com-
municated to the public by that paper in an article
which is amusingly cynical ; it states that principles
have nothing to do with the electoral question, that
Catholics voted under Louis Philippe and the Re-
public and that nothing prevents them from voting
under the present rule. The party in question binds
itself to no particular opinion or name; it will vote
for the candidate who promises the most for the
prosperity of the Church. The Republican Corn-
mittee is active in despatching circulars of an inof-
fensive nature to the provinces:; but, I beg once
more to repeat, it has not fixed on any definitive
list for Paris. The Orleanist party has held seve-
ral meetings at the residence of M. de Saoy, chief
editor of the Debats, and several candidates, former
deputies to the Chamber in the days of Gnizot and
Thiers, will be brought forward in districts where
they can command local influence.
A. considerable body of workmen are out on
strike at Puteaux and St. Denis, and a strong
body of gendarmerie has been stationed at those
localities. A reduction of wages is the cause of
the strike.

®Accounts trom Soleure state that the govern-
ment of that Canton has appointed a commission to
inquire into the cause of the terrible accident in the
tunnel of Hanenstein. All the dead bodies of the
unfortunate workmen have been, now recovered.
An impression prevails in Switzerland that some of
the victims had expired only two days before the
removal of the ruins of the crumbled tunnel, and a
horse that has been found killed and partly con-
sumed strengthens that belief. But it is scarcely
probable that human beings could have so long re-
sisted the influence of the deadly gases which filled
the tunnel, and the above statement must be
received with discredit.
Intelligence from Madrid acquaints us that the
fact of . Queen Isabella being enceinte will be offi-
cially made known next week. Her delivery is
expected in the middle of October.
The religious journals are filled with glowing
descriptions of the journey of the Pope through his
dominions, but they are silent on an incident which
occurred at Loretto. The faithful population
flocked to meet the Holy Father in that town, and
a grand religious ceremony -which took place proved
most successful. After the ceremony pieces of paper
were thrown amongst the crowd and increased the
delight of the latter, . The good people were under
the impression that the papers thrown about with
so open a hand were orders for bread, or for small
sums of money ; they consequently struggled and
fought for the same with the enthusiasm of cru-
saders. But, to the infinite horror of the suc-
cessful individuals, the papers turned out to be
nothing but indulgences. The enthusiasm trans-
formed itself into disrespect, and shouts, accom.
panied with hisses, assailed the Pope, who speedily
withdrew.

THE FRENCH ELECTIONS.
The following is the latest list of the Opposition
candidates for Paris, and for which the electors
will be asked to vote:—First electoral district—M.
Laboulays, member of the academy, and one of the
editors of the Journal des Debate. Second.—M.
Bethmont, former minister under the republic.
Third—General Cavaignac. Fourth.—M. Emile
011ivier, advocate. Fifth—M. Carnot, minister
under the repnblic. Sixth.—M. Goudchaux, ditto.
Seventh.—M. Darimon, editor of the Presse-
Eighth.—M. Vavin, former representative of the
people.' Ninth.—M. Fade Lasteyrie, ditto. Tenth.
M. Regnault, former sub-prefect of Sceaux• The
above list would in some measure confirm the
rumours current for the last fow days of a tempo-
rary fusion between certain of the Orleanist and
Republican leaders.
