ward no vessels will be consigned to the tender mercies
of dockyard superintendents to be dismantled and
repaired unless some urgent necessity should
exist for such a course, and that so long as sailors
are required to the protection of our coasts, and sup-
port the honour of the British flag in every clime and
in every ocean, the tried and practised men may not
be discharged (save perhaps at their own request, and
for sufficient reasons), to be replaced by incompetent
landsmen, who cannot act efficiently until they have
undergone a long course of training.

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

We have received the Paris papers of Saturday and
yesterday.
I❑ the sitting of Saturday the debate on the Con-
stitution was closed, and the Coustitution itself voted
by a large majority. The Assembly having voted
the last article, a ballot on the whole Constitution
took place, which gave the following result :

Number of voters ... ... 769
Absolute majority ... ... 385
For the Constitution 739
Against it ... 30
This result was hailed with cries of Vive la Repub-
lique ; Vive la Constitution.
The President then declared, in the name of the
French people, that the National Constituent Assembly
had adopted the Constitution of the French Republic.

M. Dufaure, the Minister of the Interior, next as-
cended the tribune, and stated that the Government
was of opinion that this great act should not be promul-
gated in the ordinary form, but that it should be the cc •
casion of a national solemnity. le accordingly pro-
prosed that the Assembly should immediately retire into
its bureaux to appoint a committee to regulate, with the
Government, the forms of that solemnity.
The Assembly acquiesced in the demand, and ad-
journed amidst new cries of Vice la Republique.
The project of M. MATHIEU (de la Drome) to
issue 400 millions of paper money, to be receivable
by the Government in payment of the taxes, customs,
&c., has been rejected by the Committee of Finance.
I\l. LEON FAUCHER is appointed reporter.
M. ACIIILLE FOULD, the banker, presented to the
Committee of Finances on Saturday the report of the

sub-committfe on the project for compEnsating the
holders of Treasury bonds and the depositors in the
savings' bank for the lossfs which they sustained
under the decrees which Compelled them to accept
stock at a price higher than that at which it could
be sold in the market. The report is in favour of the
project.

The illoniteur publishes the following circu'ar,
addressed by the Minister of ay.. Interior to the Pre
fects of departments, on the subject of the election of
President of the Republic :

" PARIS, Nov. 2.—Monsieur le Prefet, the Nali'mal
Assembly has just fixed the election of President of the
lit-public for the 10th of December. France is called on
for the second time to pronounce on the constitution of
one of the great powers of the state. This election wi.l

be in ail times a grave and solemn proceeding. Charged
temporarily to execute the resolutions of the Nationtl

Assembly, the President of the Republic will exercise
conei,lerable influence over the destinies of the country.
It is he who by all the branches of the administration is
in communication with every right, every interest, in all
parts of the territory; he influences the good dispensa-
tion of justice by the character and learning of the judges
whom he chooses; he disposes of all the bruit d forte
of the Republic; he represents France before other na-
tions. The choice of the citizen who is to receive this
high and difficult magistracy wilt always be one of the
greatest acts of popular sovereignty. In the present
time special circumstances give it even greater import-
ance. '1 he Republic has been established for eight mont he,
but by painful necessity it has injured interests and
wounded coin ietions. It encounters adversaries, who
endeavour to create for it embarrassments, enemies who
aspire to overthrow it, in order to substitute for it either
a violent and demagogical dictatorship, or one of the
forms of monarchical government, which during the last
fifty years have by turns showed their impuissance to
gevern the country. All these hostilities will perhaps
meet at the bsllot which is about to be opened for the
election of president. They will endeavour to place a
represeetative of their subversive ideas in face of the
Assembly, which has so firmly and with such intelli-
gence founded a R publican Government on the old and
respected bases of our social order. In this great strug-
gle the conduct of the government, to which the National
Assembly has temporarily delegated the Executive Go-
vernment, is clearly traced out. It reduces itself to
securing the liberty and purity of the election, to obtain-
ing the sincere expression of universal suffrage. You
have already comprehended that' the government is
bound to allow every citizen to appreciate in perfect in-
dependence of mind the merits of the candidates who are
proposed to him. Ido not mean to interdict you from
voluntary intercourse with those under your administra-
tion ; but on the contrary, I wish that this intercourse
should be frequent, and that you should confer on the true
interests of the Republic. It will be easily conceived that
its future well-being depends in putt upon the citizens
who shall first be called to preside over its destinies;
that the nation, in the choice it makes, should confide in
one whose past life has beon without reproach, whose
patriotism is incontestable, of a manly and energetic re-
solution, and of approved services to the Republic, rather
than to vain and delusive promises. But whether they
may be enlightened or not, convinced or not by your
councils, the electors must be left free in their choice.
Be cautious of calling in aid of your opinions their in-
terests, their ambition, their fears, or any of the bed pas-
sions which may mislead them. Do not encourage local
pretensions, do not talk of unbounded favours, of lighten-
ing of taxation, of gratifications which no government
can afford them. I know that the whole country may
legitimately claim material ameliorations. Cause it to
be comprehended that the Government is actively occu-
pied with these things, and that all your declarations
may be the expression of a firm and sincere will, without
ever becoming one of those means of seduction which ate
too frequently employed. By abstaining from these
manoeuvres, the Government hasifultilled;only one-half of
its task; it must also prevent others from using them. Our
laws punish acts of violence or corruption at elections. I
intend that these laws shall he firmly executed. You
will watch attentively over the proceedings of party, and,
if necessary, make a report upon them to the Procurcur
of the Republic. You will exact from all that reepect
for the freedom of election which you have youselves
expressed. I signalise to you an enemy which you must
endeavour to combat—the negligence of the electors.
You will cause those whom a fatal indifference may keep
from the ballot to understand that they are guilty to-
wards society and towards themselves. At a time at
which a bail election may place in qtiestion all that the
National Assembly has adopted since six months on be-
half of order and liberty, expose social order, without de-
fence, to attacks as formidable as those of the month of
June, one cannot understand the quietude and refraining
from voting of those who have the right; they would as-
sume on themselves the most terrible responsibility, and
you must make them feel that. We are about to make a
second trial of universal suffrage; let us meet it with con-
fidence; let us place our hope in the inexhaustible re-
sources of goad sense and patriotism which France pos-
sesses; let us so act as to obtain the free and enlightened
vote of our fellow-citizens. It is impossible that this vote
can expose to us the hazards of a new revolution. I
will send you, in a few days, instructions on the pre-
paratiens of the electoral lists, the holding of the col-
leges, the investigation of the ballot, and on all the
details of execution of the decree of the 28th October.
On this occasion my object is only to cull on you to
reflect on the great political act which France is abourto
accomplish, and on the attitude which you must take,
in the name of the Government, under the new cir-
cumstances.—Accept, M. le PeVet, the assurance of
my most distinguished consideration.
" J. DUFAURE."

The canvass for the Presidency is carried on with
great activity. The club of the Rue de Poitiers will
oppose the candidature of General CAVAIGNAC, but
will not support that of Louis NAPOLEON BONAPARTE,
neither will it start a candidate of its own. A pro.
position made to the Club of the lustit ut to support
General CAVAIGNAC, gave rise to a very animated
discussion on Saturday, which wa3 p.istp:med to
Nlonday. The majority of the members are in
favour of General CAVAIGNAC, but GARNtF PAGES
and the other members of the old Provisional Go-
vernment support M. DE LAMARTINE, who is only
opposed by the majority because they consider that
his chance is not so good as that of General CAVAIGNAC
Several of the tradesmen of Paris have applied to
the Government to relax the law of lotteries, so as to
permit them to dispose of their stock in trade by way
of raffle. On this subject the Moniteur says—
" Several booksellers and publishers of the capital, not
being able, on account of the difficulty of the times, to
find a regular sale for their books, leave had the idea to
sell them be a lottery, with premiums drawn by lot for
the advantage of the subscribers; and they demand the
nuthorisatien of the Government for this operation.
Similar demands have been submitted to the Minister of
the Interior by several other branches of trade. These
demands affect public morality, the interests of the
working elmses, and general questi ins of political
economy. Political morality is interested in the ques-
tion of lotteries; the influence which operations cf this
nature, if they became frequent, would not fail to exer-
cise on the habits of the population, must be thought
of, precautions are to be taken, great reserve is nee
cessury. The working classes demand relief from their
too real sufferings; and it is to labour thet they ep-

The Moniteur contains a long •
article, tending to ,

show that the commercial and industrial situation of
France is improving. At Paris, it says, confidence is
increasing in every branch of business. The different
railways find their receipts very considerably in-
creased, and several establishments for carrying goods
have been obliged to increase the number of their
horses and employ6s. In the west of France the fairs
have of late been well attended, and those of Raillon
(Maine et-Loire) famed for the quantity of leather
sold there, and of St. Maurice, at Brissac, are parti-
cularly mentioned as having been well attended. At
Nantes, the several tanneries are becoming more active,
and at Chollet the weavers find work becoming
abundant. At Rennes and St. Malo work is more
plentiful, and there is to apprehension felt for the
situation of the working classes during the winter.
The workmen of Elheuf, Roubaix, and at. Quentin
are employed; the fabrication of tull is beginning to
revive at St. Pierre-les-Calais, as well as the products
in mercery at Vervins. In the Nord the Moniteur
says, the number of hands, lately unoccupied during
one-half or two-thirds of their time, are now not suf-
ficient for the employment offere 1. From Alsace,
the customs-return proves that the cotton manufac-
ture is advancing; at Lyons, the workmen are begin-
ning to perceive, the report says, that their real inte-
rests call on them to work; the demands from Eng-
land and the United States have produced higher
prices which are now nearly about the same as at this
time last year. "At the present time," says the
Moniteztr, "more than three-fourths of the looms are
at work, and everything leads to the idea that busi-
ness will not stop short in this course of improve-
ment. A command of twenty thonsand tunics given
by Sardinia to three establishments of Lyons, have
not a little contributed to the happy impulse given to
this commercial revival." The strike of the weavers
and spinners has ceased at Grenoble and
Vienne, and the workmen have returned to
their factories now abnndantly supplied with work.'
In the south, business improves, though not to the
same extent; the fairs of Aubenas,Privas, and Rodez,
were lately-well attended, and cattle, linen, and leather
found ready purchasers. In the centre, the cloth
manufactures of the department of the Indre are em-
ploying a considerable number of men. The works
on the various railways are giving employment to a
vast number of men ; the central line in the depart-
ments of the Cher and the Haute-Vienne; that of
Strasbourg; in the Marne, the Haute-Marne, and
the Meuse; the Nantes line in the neighbourhood of
Angers; the Avignon line, from the Durance to the
Pet:teellotesse ; that of Lyons through half of its
extent; and, in fine, that from Creil to St. Quentin,
throughout almost its whole length, furnish work to
a great number of men. The article of the Moniteur
then dwells on the extreme cheapness of bread and
wine, and declares "that the abundance of the year has
in no small measure contributed to the present well_
being of the working classes; everything, it says,
seems to imply that the winter will pass over more
easily than could have been lately hoped for. No
doubt,' says the article in conclusion, that when
Fr:.nce shall have issued from the crisis which was
long smouldering on under a false appearance of
prosperity, and the development cf which ,A as pre-
cipitated, but not caused, by the ccession of the
Republic, national commerce, purified by this cruel
trial, will again raise up its head more flouriahng and
solid than ever.' "

According to the Moniteur du Soir, M. TH/ERs
has publicly declared that he will not take office
under LOUIS NAPOLEON BONAPARTE, should the latter
be chosen President of the Republic.
Marshal BUGEAUD and General CIIANGARNIER
have withdrawn from the contest for the Presidency.
The following are the Members of the Committee
of the Assembly a,-.pointed to devise some special
solemnity for the consecration of the Constitution :
MM. Ducoux, Barrier, General Badeau, Bixio, Tre-
lat, Jules de Lasteyrie, Arago, Havin, Coquerel,
Landrin, Delaporte, Senard, Gouin, Beaumont (de
la Somme), and Desgeorges.
The passing of the Constitution was announced to
the citizens of Paris, at seven o'clock on Saturday
evening, by the discharge of 101 guns from the espla-
nade of the Invalides.

The French Government has advertised for tenders
fur 39,400,000 kilogrammes of coals (about 38,000
tons), fur the use of the Post-office steam-packets.
The adjudication is to take place on the 20th of Nov.
These coals are to be delivered in the course of 1849
at Calais, Ajaccio, Bastin, Marseilles, Malta, Athens,
Constantinople, and Alexandria, in dilTerent quanti-
ties. Out of the whole quantity 14,000 tons are to
be delivered at Malta. The coals must be either
English, French, or Belgian, with the exception of
14,900 tons, which must be Cardiff coal.
General GOURGAUD has left Paris for Frankfort.
He passed through Brussels on the 3d inst.

The French Five per Cents. were done rather lower
on Sunday in the Passage de l'Opera than they closed
on Saturday at the Bourse. After having gone as
low as 66f. 40c , they rallied, and closed at 66f. 60c.,
rather otiered than demanded. The number of specu-
lators present was not very great.

CAPITULATION OF VIENNA-FIGHTING

RESUMED.

Accounts have been received from Vienna, or
rather from the camp Of WINDISCIIGRATZ, to the 31st
ultimo. It appears that on the 30th the Communal
Council made overtures to WINDISCUGRATZ for an
unconditional surrender of the city, which were ac-
cepted, and the firing ceased. On the 31st, however,
the fighting was renewed, as the workmen refused to
deliver up their arms. At the same time an attack
was sage by the Hungarians upon the army of JEI.,
Licnicu, in which, according to WiNntsciraniTz
(ror all these accounts are ex parte) the former were
defeated.
The following particulars relative to the events
of the 28th and 29th ult. are contained in the
Schlesische Zeitung :
" On the 28th the most violent connonade was raging
from ten o'clock A.M. till midnight. The inhabitants of
the suburbs fought with the greatest bravery ; on the
other hand, the courage of the military did not yield to
theirs. In consequence of a very lively skirmish the
troops began to storm the lines on several points. Those
of Jellacnich particularly distinguished themselves, as
they stormed thirty' barricades within three hours. At
seven o'clock in the evening again four difforent parts
of the suburbs were on fire, especially in the fau-
hourg \Vied:2n and in the Llnd,trase, where between
thirty and forty houses were burnt down. At
eleven o'clock at night nothing as yet was decided,
beyond the victorious advance of the troops. The in-
habitants of the city itself were said to have raised white
flags of truce as early as the previous evening, which,
however, were torn down by the operatives. Messen-
hauser, the comm ,nder of the National Guard, had pro-
chimed martial law, and threa'ened with capital punish-
ment all thoeo who should shut their houses. On the
other hand, Prince Windischgratz had threr.:eued with
the same f:te all those who should not shut, their doors
and windows. The deputies sent into the camp thought
fit not to communicate this proclamation to the city.
Only a few shells were thrown on the evening of the
28th, a 3 a means to inspire terror. They wire directed
against the University, but a great number of rockets
and shrapnel's were thrown on the following day. On
tLe 2911, at midday, the troops were already on the
g!aei.3, at a distance of only 200 to 400 stops from the
walls of the inner city."
Letters from Vienna in the Allgemelue Zeitung,

dated the 27th ult., say that the individuals designated
by WINDISCIIGRATZ to be delivered np to him were
General 13Em, Pul.nslor (the Hungarian Secretary
of State), and ScuuTTE•
A correspondent writes on the 29th ult. from Met-
Zing, near Vienna, to the Prussian Monitor—" Yes-

terdayf at ten in the morning, the bombardment of
the city commenced, and was continued till midnight.
The inhabitants of the suburbs defended themselves
bravely, but the soldiers did not give way to them.
After a very severe conflict, the soldiers carried the
barriers at several points. In three hours the Croats
had taken 30 barricades. At seven in the evening
four points of the suburbs were on fire. In the
Wieden and the Landstrasse between 30 and 40
houses have become a prey to the flames. At 11 at
night nothing was decided, but the troops were ad•
vancing victoriously."
The Preussische Stoats Anzeiger contains the fol-
lowing account, dated Vienna, the 29th ult.:—

" The Communal Council of Vienna has issued the
followirg proclamation :

" Citizeni! --The Commander-in-Chief of the National
Guard has communicated to the Communal Council the
inteTgence that the National Gnard and the _Guard
Mobile, as well as the Academic Legion, have resolved
to throw down their arms and submit to the conditions
imposed by Prince Windischgratz. A deputation, com-
posed of the members of the Communal Council and of
the National Guard, has repaired to the Prince for the
purpose of making this communication to him.

" THE COMMUNAL COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF VIENNA.

" Vieana, Oct. 29, 1848. r

On the morning of the 29th a deputation of the
Communal Council repaired to the head•quarters in
order to induce the General-in-Chief to desist from
his resolution of putting the city in a state of siege
even after its capitulation. The Prince, however, re-
fused to comply with the proposal, and demanded
unconditional submission. lie nevertheless promised
that he would not fire any more on the city through-
out the whole of that day, in order that the inhal_ &-
tants might have time for reflection. At half-past
two in the afternoon the Viennese again opened their
fire in several quarters, but this demonstration soon
ceased.

On the evening of the 29th the Communal Council
assembled in consequence of the Prince's reply, and
called to its deliberations the Commander-in-Chief
and all the other officers of the National Guard, in
order to deliberate whether the city could be any
longer defended, and whether it would be advisable
to continue the resistance.

M. MESSENHAUSSER declared that he was quite
ready to continue the defence, if the Communal
Council would co.nmand him to do so; but that
the position cf the Imperial troops were such as to
give the city no possible chance of an effectual
resistance.

The Council then proceeded to vute, and the reso-
lution to submit immediately was carried by a
majority of two-thirds of the votes. On the same
evening a deputation repaired to the Prince to in-
form him of their unconditional submission, and the
proclamation above quoted was immediately posted
about the streets. The deputation was to entreat the
Prince to command the Imperial troops to lend a
strong hand to the communal authorities to effect the
disarmament of the city. In consequence of this de-
claration hostilities ceased, and on the 30th the troops
occupied the glacis without encountering any resist-
ance. On the same day the inhabitants of the
suburbs had already for the most part laid down their
arms. As early as the 29th, 27 companies of the
National Guard, in the suburb of \Vieden, are said to
have deposited their arms. It is also stated that the
National Guards in the city repelled the attacks made
by the workmen on the Imperial Palace, and that
General BEM has been carried wounded to the Hotel
de Londres.

The Municipal Council published a notification that
the workmen of the armed corps, and the Garde
Mobile, receiving the ply of the commune, and the
poor National Guards who received the assistance of
the commune, should continue to receive it, after
giving up their arms, and until industrial relations
should be re. established.

The following telegraphic dispatch was received at
Berlin on the evening of the 30th, from the Prussian
Envoy at the Court of Austria :
" llcitzing, near Vienna, Oct. 29, one o'clock P.M.
"During this night nearly all the suburbs or 'Vienna
have been taken by assault by the Imperial troops. The
cannonade as well as the firing has ceased. The city
is capitulating."

The lithograpic: report of the board of correspon-
dence in Berlin, of Oct. 29, says:—
"M. Arago, Minister of the French Republic, has
just received intelligence that Prince Windisclig:ratz has
entered Vienna,"

Prince WINDISCIIGRATZ, on the 30th, at twelve
o'clock, sent the following telegraphic dispatch to
Baron WESSEMBERG, the Minister President
Vienna unconditionally submits this day. My sol-
diers will enter Vienna to-day."

And the following official notice was posted in the
streets of 011mutz on the 30th :

"According to a telegraphic dispatch from his Serene
Highness Prince Windischgratz t') the Minister Presi-
dent, Baron Wessemberg, Vienna has unconditionally
surrendered and the Imperial troops occupy the city to-
day.

"LEOPOLD, Count LAZANZKY,
"Vice-President of the Government.

" 011mutz, Oct. 30." i
It appears, however, that on the 30th the work-
men and students refused to abide by the capitulation
made by the Communal Council, and attacked the
troops of WINDISCHGRATZ at the same time that the
Hungarians under KOSSUTH attacked JELLA.cutcx ;
and from the following dispatches of WINDISCH•
GRATZ (the latest that have been received) it is evi-
dent that on the 31st ult. he was not in posse ssion of
Vienna, and the fighting was still going on.
The Preussische Staats Anzeiger publishes the fol-
lowing declaration of Prince WINDISCHGRAXZ :
" A corps of Hungarian insurgents has vent ured to
invade the Austrian soil, and to advance this 'morning
as far as Schwechat. I have attacked them witl i part of
my troops, together with those of the Ban, and have
thrown them back, on which occasion they suffered con-
siderable loss. Some detachments are pursuing them. I
make this known hereby in order to calm the tipprehen-
sions of all right-minded people, and ass wartriug to the
evil-minded, who thouziat to find a new chance for their
machinations, and, in fact, did not refrain from violating,
in the most disgraceful and perfidious manner,. the sub-
mission agreed upon.
" Prince WINDISCIIGRATZ, Field-MA natal.
" Head-qtrirters, Hetzendorf, Oct. 30."
The Bresla4er Zeitung has the followini; state-
ments from Florisdorf, dated the 31st ult.: -
" The capitulation has not taken plane, and th e bom-
bardment has continued since yesterday. It to tsed at
six o'clock in the evening."
The following is the telegraphic dispatch relative
to those events :

The bombardment ceased at six o'clock P.sr.. , There
is a conflagration in the vicinity of the University square
and of the Church of the Augustine. A Btu .nicipai
Guard sent to me asserts that the troops have. entered
by the Burgthor and have alreaiy arrived on tl le Ste-
phans Platz. The fire has seized the Church oft he Au-
gustins and part of the Burg. The spire and the roof of
the church have broken down.
" RENNBERG, Getwa ral."
The slaughter has been terrific on both side .e, but
the Imperial troops have been the greatest suie rers.

Accounts from Ratibor state that a general revolt
took place at Brunn, upon the 20th, in favour of the
people of Vienna; that the citizens, joining the in-
surgents, fell upon the military, overpowor ad and
disarmed them ; and that the Landsturm iu t he dis-
trict has also risen in the same cause.

Several Hungarian regiments have left P.ra gue to
join their countrymen.

PRUSSIA.

On the 31st ult. some disturbances took W./ tee at
Berlin, in consequence of the rejection by the I Met of
WALDECK'S motion, calling on the Government to aid
the Viennese. The following amendment, by ROD-
DERTUS, was, however, almost unanimously agn :ed to.
" His MAJESTY'S Government is summon ed to
employ immediate and most energetic measures with
the Central Power, in order that the freedom of the
people, endangered in the Austrian-German coun-
tries, and the menaced existence of the An strian
Reichstag may be protected, become a fact, and peace
thereby be restored."

This, however, did not satisfy the crowd, who
threatened to force the Assembly and to ill-trey t the
Ministers. The Burgher Guard, under REM) 'LEE,
however, succeeded in dispersing the mob, by I ising
the butt-ends of their muskets without firing, and
order was re-established.

The following telegraphic dispatch, addressed by
the Minister of the Interior to the President Vox
MOLLER, was received at Cologne:—

" BERLIN, Nov, 1, Two O'CLOCK, 7P.M.
" Disturbances yesterday took place on the Gens-
dartnen• market during the sitting. The Civic Guard
has re established order, and
.only one person ha & been
seriously wounded. " EICIIMAN N."
Not only has nobility been abolished in Fri Lula,
but all honours and all orders are also abolished.
At the sitting of the Assembly on the 2d of 1.V.0•
vember, the following letters wire cominunicatt
to it ;--

" I have the honour to inform you that, in conse-
quence of the state of my health, I have received my
dismissal from his Majesty as Minister President and
Minister of War.

(Signed)

" PFUEI.."

" I beg to inform you hereby that his Majesty has
been ple..ised to accept the resignation of the Minister
President and Minister of War, Von Pfuel, and to
charge me with the requisite full powers for the compo-
sition of a new Ministry. In consideration of this, I
trust to your adjourning the Chamber for a few days.
(Signed) " COUNT BRANDENBURG,
Lieutenant-General."

The excitement occasioned by the appointment of
BRANDENBURG, a professed reactionary, was immense,
and was increased by the publication by EICHMANN
of a proclamation threatening the intervention of
troops. At half past seven the Burgher Guard com-
mander published two addresses, the one to his corps,
declaring EICIIMANN'S manifesto, threatening the in-
tervention of the troops, to be an offence (verletzung)
to the Burgher Guard, and direct encroachment upon
its rights, of not permitting military interference
without the assent of the Committee of Safety, and

accede. The state of excitement is great, and should
the KING refuse there is no answering for the con-
sequences.
