The FIRST CoNsui. has issued proclamations for
tlw regulation of the elation of individuals who
aspire to the honour of having Seats in any of the
public bodies. 'These proclamations affeft to pay
the utmost deference to the free and unbiassed choice
of the people ; and, as a proof of the concern of the
FIRST CONSUL to give them a fair opportunity of
making this choice, orders have been ►ssued to pro-
hibit the approach of the military to any of the
tov.-as where elections are ping forward. This is
all very plausible ; but what avails this free-
dom of doaion, in the first instance, .when it
is well enough known that with the Govern-
ment the ultimate choice resides. The people have
the privilege of forming the general lists, hut with Bo-
w*? Aare is lodged the power of the select appoint-
ment. It is vain to talk of the freedom of election
under such a constitution as France now possesses;
the will of the government is the only law for the
people ; and if, under that government, they enjoy
a considerable degree of conifort, this is to be
ascribed to the leniency of the FIRST Cosset, and
not to any constitutioual checks on the abuse of
ish autllority,
