'THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, DECEMBER l5, 1848.7

truth had been hitherto enigmatical ; it was under-
stood at that period, even by the democratic and
cynical LITCIEN BONAPARTE. With the EMPEROR,
fell for thirty-three years—from 1815 to 1848—the
hopes inspired by the Revolution. At length Repub-
licanism has revived ; and now—while NAPOLEON
reposes " on the banks of the Seine, in the midst of
the French people whom he loved so well"—that
people are offering the most noble act of homage to
his memory by electing the representative of his
once powerful, dynasty to the office of their first
President.

Prince Louis NAPOLEON has an opportunity such
as was seldom,f if ever, before granted to mortal.
Without exertion he is lifted from the quietude of
domestic life to the summit of a great Government.
Educated in misfortune, his mind cultivated in child-
hood under the care of the beautiful and accomplished
HORTENSE, his ideas enlarged by the prolonged con-
templation of the genius of the wonderful founder of
his family—he is now, in the ripeness of his man-
hood, raised to the direction of the destinies of his
country. The prisoner of Ham in 1845—in 1848 he
is the President of the French Republic ! It is im.
possible but that the mind of the Prince, at
this solemn moment of his existence, must
be impressed with an awful and almost
overwhelming sense of the responsibility of his posi-
tion. Finding himself already installed in the chair
of Presidency-1,100,000 votes out of 1,500,000
having been counted, even now, out ofilthe urns of
election—he must take courage from the imminence
of affairs, and, by a judicious selection of subordi-
nates, consolidate his administration. One circum-
' stance has transpired within the last few hours which
augurs well for the prudence of the suecessfal candi-
date. This very day, December the 15th, being the
anniversary of the entombment of the remains of the
Emperor NAPOLEON in the Church of the Inialides,
would have been commemorated as usual by a funeral
service, attended :in great state by the veterans of
the Imperial army, clothed in their ancient
uniforms—but that the PRINCE has issued an order of
prohibition ; and the anniversary which might have
led to incalculable disasters will pass off in profound
tranquillity. Another act, emanating, according to
report, from the mind of the future President, may
be viewed as the omen of a felicitous circumspection
on the part of his Government—we mean the ru-
moured promotion of General CAVAIGNAC to the
rank of Marshal, with either the command of the
army of the Alps or the Governorship of Algeria.
By such measures the sway of the Prince-President
might be inaugurated with conciliation ; and by a
disinterested selection of _Ministers from all " parties,"
without prejudice, the Republic might be perma-
nently consolidated under the direction of a Bo- '
NAPARTE.

The Liverpool Currency Reform Association
have assumed a prominent position in the great con-
test that has already commenced. Their manifesto—
a copy of which will be found in another column—is
a document of peculiar value, to which we invite the
attention of all unprejudiced and impartial persons.
The propositions therein contained are cf a plain and
simple character, and, if carried out in their integrity,
will afford an easy and satisfactory solution to the
great problem by which the public mind has so long
been agitated, and supply the great desideratum, a
circulating medium based on valuable property,
which cannot be depreciated in value, and which
will be adequate to the wants and exigencies of
the nation. We have long insisted upon the
adoption of a national bank, and the issue of
national notes, secured upon the resources of the
country, and which shall alone be received in pay-
ment of taxes and of every description of impost.
The Liverpool Association have adopted the principal
features of our plan, and, although there may be
some minor differences as to details, they are of a
trivial and unimportant character. Their sugges-
tions will, we trust, obtain the support bf all persons
anxious to obtain a comprehensive alteration in our
monetary code, and will unite the various sections of
currency reformers.
The association calls for " the establishment by
Act of Parliament of a national bank, authorised to
issue bank-notes on the receipt of consols, such notes
varying in amount from one to a thousand pounds, to

suit the convenience of the receiver," these notes to

be the only legal tender throughout the United King-
dom, and to be convertible into value, that is to say
into consols on demand it the National Bank. The
consols to bear a fixed rate of interest, which will
cease during the time they are in the bank."
Such are the suggestions that have excited an
extraordinary sensation in the camp of the
bullionists, and which have called forth the
strongest animadversions of one of the leading
organs of the party. It was easily conceiv-
able that any proposition to dethrone the
golden image that has been set up, and be-
fore ;which the nation has been prostrated for
nearly thirty years, should provoke the anger of those
who desire to maintain the present unjust and impo-
litic system in all its stringency. We would, how-
ever, scarcely have supposed that their ire could have
blazed forth so strongly, that English consols should
be compared with French assignats, the ordinary
bugbear by which parties showing symptoms of re-
bellion against the potent sway of gold are to be
frightened into submission. We are, however, told
" that the proposed currency would be even less
substantial than French assignats." Thus
then, the funded property of the nation, that
stoek in which so many thousands of our fellow-
subjects have invested the savings of their industry,
by the possession of which they have confidently
anticipated the enjoyment of the otium cum dig,nitate
when retired from active pursuits, and relied upon
leaving their wives and children in easy and inde-
pendent circumstances when deprived of their
natural protectors,—all these, according to the
bullionist theory, are perfectly visionary, affording
no real security, of no actual value. We
are told " that the assignats had a basis,
a real, physical, subsisting capital, upon which
they were issued"—that the national domains and
lands which they professed to represent had an
existence in rerum natura, though being unrealisable
at the time, they possessed no present value. But the
800 millions of capital are in nubibus, the contem-
plated paper-money would represent a nonentity, and
the projected National Bank is an institution worthy
of "Utopia." And again, the case is compared
to that of a landowner, who, with a rental
of ten thousand a year, has borrowed 100,0001. and
spent it, and has mortgaged his estate for half its
value, and it is asked triumphantly, " Can the debtor
establish a bank, and issue notes upon that founda-
tion ?"

It is easy to expose the fallacies of these arguments.
If they possess any real weight or authority, what
becomes of the boasted securities for the convertibility
of Bank of England paper, afforded by the Act of
1844 ? Are not notes to the amount of 14,000,000/,
sterling issued by the Bank upon no better substratum ?
Away with the flimsy pretext. Let the palpable

and join the agitation for its abrogation.

MISS JULIA BLEADEN'S CONCERT.—The first con-
Ent of Miss Julia Bleaden (one of the most promising
of:the pupils of Mr. Howard Glover) takes place at the
Loudon Tavern, on Tuesday next. The talented
deutante will be supported by Miss Rainforth, Miss
Poole, Mr. Alien, and several other of our first vocalists
and Gerhard Taylor, the most wonderful harpist of the
d,3•, will perform a grand fantasia, with brilliant
1113. variations. Mr. Howard Glover is the conductor;
anti from the arrangements made we anticipate that
Miss,, Julia Blcaden's concert will be one of the most
crowded of the season.

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

We have received the Paris papers of yesterday.

It is calculated from the election returns, already
received that Prince Louis NAPOLEON BONAPARTE
will be found to have received 66 per cent. of all the
votes polled; General CAVAIGNAC, 21 per cent.;
LEDRU ROLLIN, 6 per cent. ; RASPAIL, 4 per cent.;
and LAMARTINE, 3 per cent. The Committee of the
Assembly appointed to inspect and cast up the votes
have chosen M. ARMAND MARRAST for President,
and M. Ducos for Secretary. They will not have
completed their labours until Monday, and on Wed-
nesday the new President will probably be pro-
claimed.
The official returns for Paris, published yesterday
at the Hotel de Ville, are as follows :
Louis Napoleon ... ... 198,484
Cavaignac
... 95,567
Ledru Rollin . 26,618
Raspail
... 15,871
Lamartine 3,833
Prince Louis NAPOLEON has experienced, it is
said, much difficulty in restraining his too-injudi- '
cious friends, who, intoxicated by his unparalleled
and unexampled triumph, already begin to talk of

proclaiming the Empire. The Prince himself appears
to be acting with great prudence and judgment. It
has hitherto been the custom, on the anniversary of
the funeral of the EMPEROR, for the remnants of the
grand army to parade in their imperial uniforms, and

to march to the tomb of the EMPEROR. The Prince

has appealed to them to abstain from any celebration
this year, as it might be made a pretext for disorders ;
and, consequently, no celebration of the anniversary
will this year take place.
It is said that General CAVAIGNAC will be created
a Marshal of France.
Several of the members of the Assembly have
called on Prince LOUIS, to congratulate him on his
success.

Marshal BUGHIUD has arrived in Paris.
M. DUFAURE, it is said, resigned office yesterday.
The Journal des Debats has the following on the
question of the new Ministry :
" The majority in favour of M. Louis Napoleon Bo-
naparte leaving now no doubt in the minds of any one
as to his election, lists of his probable Ministry were
yesterday in circulation at the Chamber, and which will
be published immediately after his proclamation as Pre-
sident of the Republic. In these combinations, none of
which we, however, give as exact or definitive, M.
Odilon Barrot is mentioned as Minister of Justice; M.
Drouhyn de L'Huys, Foreign Affairs; M. de Malle-
vine, Interior; M. A. Fould, Finance; M. Leon Faucher,
Public Works. These five gentlemen have, it is said,
accepted their several portfolios. That of Finance, had, it
is said, been first offered to M. d'Audeffret and M. Hy-
polite Passy, who refused it. General Oudinot is men.
tioned as Minister of War, but he has not yet defi-
nitively accepted it. In the event of his refusal, General
Rulhieres will be appointed, and General Oudinot sent
as Ambassador to St. Petersburgh. The portfolio of
the Marine has not yet been disposed of. M. Fr.
Arago, Admiral Dupetit Thouars, and even M. J. de
Lasteyrie, are severally spoken of. The department of
Public Instruction has caused some unforeseen difficul-
ties. M. Barthelemy St. Hilaire was at first thought of,
but now M. de Seze, the representative for Bordeaux,
and M. de Falloux are mentioned as likely to be se-
lected. MM. de Tracy, Pagnerre, or Bineau, are the
names suggested as Minister of Commerce. General
Changarnier will retain the command of the National
Guards of the Seine and the troops in the garrison in
Paris."

With regard to numbers, the Debats says—
" On Tuesday the advantage of Louis Napoleon over
Cavaignac was as 2 to 3, or even as 3to 4. Yesterday
(Wednesday) it might have been considered as 4 to 5, or
even 6 to 7."

The Siecle says—" France has willed that M.
Louis BONAPARTE should be President of the Re-
public, and he will be so; and that with such an
immense number of votes as must smooth away many
difficulties, and give force to his government. But
how will he employ that force ? Will it be to con-
solidate or weaken the Republican constitution ? If
to affirm it—we shall aid him. But how can we
persuade ourselves that such has been the intention
of those who elected him, when we see that the
greater number, and the most ardent, have used
his name as a protest against the Government of the
Republic ?"

'this paper dwells on the impossibility of Louts
lioNApearz to bold together the mass of his sup-
porters, asking—

" Partisans of the empire, do you believe that you
alone are entitled to proclaim an Emperor? Conser-
vatives of the last reign, are you sure that your majo-
rity has returned, and that you can restore the consti-
tutional monarchy with a Prince or a Regent? Legi-
timists, do you think you can bring about a third resto-
ration? Certainly all these desires cannot be satisfied
at once. The triumph of one of the three monarchies
must be the humiliation of the rest. Your common
interest, then, would be to sustain the institutions that
exist on the basis of civilization and a fusion of all
classes."

On the morning of the election a deputation of
Socialists and Red Republicans waited on M. LEDRU
ROLLIN, and announced to him the intention of the
Socialists and Red Republicans generally to vote for
Louis NAPOLEON BONAPARTE, for the purpose of
securing for him an absolute majority, and thus en-
suring the defeat of General CAVIIGNAC.

The Aioniteur contains the following
" It is false that General Cavaignac has had, as stated
by the Evenement, an interview with M. Ledru Rollin."

M. ARMAND MARRAST was yesterday re-elected
President of the National Assembly for the ensuing
month.

It is said that M. PASSY has accepted the Ministry
of Finances, and M. DE FALLOUX, a Legitimatist, that
of Public Instruction.

than it did here. It has there been received with the
greatest joy; everybody seems satisfied. Should the
Prussian Government succeed in arriving at an amicable
arrangement; and the conflict between the Crown and
the people terminate peacefully, there is no doubt what-
ever that the measures adopted by thy-Prussian Govern-
ment will be pursued by the Austrian Government, as
these two powers have, on the whole, been placed in
very analogous circumstances during recent events. It
is now more probable than ever that the sitting of
the Diet will be speedily removed from Kremsier,
not as we had hoped to continue its deliberations
at Vienna, but to be dissolved. The Prussian Go-
vernment was impelled, by the conduct of the Assembly
on the Brandenburg question, and on the refusal of
taxes, to resort to a dissolution, and to give a constitu-
tion, which the Chambers, with their more than oppos-
ing elements, would in all probability never have brought
to light.
"The Diet of Kremsier will split on the Ministerial
demand for SO millions. To judge from the Ministerial
proceedings, we should say that there is only one of the
following alternatives for the Chambers—either to refuse
the 80 millions, in which case it will be dissolved as use-
less, or to grant the sum, after having done which it
will be politely informed, that its services can now be
dispensed with. It is confidently stated that two Czesch
Ministers, without portfolio, are to be appointed, in
order at all hazards to gain the Czeschs. Report still
asserts confidently, that Francis Joseph intends to head
the Hungarian army."

The Pesth House of Representatives has declared
the throne of Hungary vacant, and the House of
Hapsburg unworthy to reign.

PRUSSIA.

The Berlin State Gazette of the 11th promulgates
the following Royal ordonnance :—" From the Ist
of January, 1849, the stamp duty imposed on political
journals by the law of the 7th of March, 1822, shall
cease, in conformity with Article 24 of the Constitu-
tion, to be laid upon the national journals, or upon
foreign journals.
A letter from Breslau of the Bth says, that Dr.
BORCHHA.RDT was, on the preceding day, found
guilty of high treason, and sentenced to imprisonment
for twelve years in a fortress, and the loss of the na-
tional cockade ; and Dr. Oscu was condemned to one
year's confinement in a fortress for attempting to ex-
cite insurrection.

SOMMERFBLD, who commanded the detachment of
soldiers that drove away the members of the National
Assembly from the Schtitzenhaus on the 13th ult., has
been dismissed the service for not reporting to head-
quarters the letter which he received from a lieute-
nant of his company, declaring that all persons who
took part in the proceedings against the National As-
sembly were traitors to the state. As for the lieute-
nant (Herr TON WIEDBURG), he has been sent to the
fortress of Spandau.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.

An extensive demand sprung up for Cotton at Liver-
pool yesterday, speculators operating to the extent of
3,000 bales. The market closed with much excitement,
and prices of all sorts of American were full id. per lb.
higher. Other sorts unchanged. The sales were esti-
mated at 10,000 bales, via. 7,000 American at 31d. to
51d., 500 Pernam, &c., at 41d. to 51d; 1,000 Bahia at
41d. to 51d, 250 Egyptian at Sid. to 61c1., 1,000 Surat
at 3d. to 31d., and 40 Sea Island at lid. to 141—Railway
Shares were considerably better, and rather an animated
and good business was transacted. Prices were also
higher than on Wednesday.
The Hamburgh mail has arrived, but the letters do
not appear to bring any important news. In Germany
affairs are considered to be settling down, and peace and
good government are held to promise future prosperity.
The attempt to " try back" upon free-trade principles
is not only made here, but likewise in the North Ameri-
can colonies. We are informed that—

On a requisition to the Mayor of Montreal, signed by
upwards of 160 citisens, including the president, vice-
president, and eight other members (out of upwards of
one hundred it is said) of the Board of Trade, for a pub-
lic meeting "to take into consideration the sub-
ject of the repeal or modification of the Na-
vigation Laws of Great Britain, as far as they
relate to Canada, and the throwing open of the river
St. Lawrence to vessels of all nations," his worship has
called a meeting. The object is, apparently, to induce
the British Government to throw open to foreign ves-
sels, the carrying trade between British ports, " a pri-
vilege granted to foreign vessels by no other Go-
vernment in the world, unless it be under
treaties of reciprocity. Would the Government of the
United States, or that of France, for instance, permit
British or Canadian vessels to participate in the carrying
trade between their own ports ? We doubt it very much.
We have no objection, however, to the British Go-
vernment being petitioned to act more liberally in
this respect than any other- Government does." So
writes a colonial editor, and if we look to what is occur-
ring in Yorkshire, we hall find reason to conclude that
the cause of free trade is likely to be vigorously assaulted
and to require vigilant support, especially in the way of
commercial facts, of which there are plenty, that might
be occasionally brought in aid. These we shall not
neglect to produce whenever opportunity serves.
The Funds have been firm again this morning, but
there is not much activity in the market, and for the
moment the rise has received a cheek. We hear, in-
deed, of one or two Bear sales, and considering the un-
certainty of events in France, we are not surprised
at them. Consols are 88k for Transfer, and 87i to
for Account. The New Three. and-a-Quarter per Cents.
have been 87i to 87g. Bank Stock is up to 191. Ex-
chequer-bills have been quoted 395. to 425. premium,

The :Foreign Securities have beon very quiet. Por-
tuguese Four per Cents. are 24i, and the Three per
Cents. 25i. Mexican Stock is worth 22 to Dutch
Two-and-a-Half per Cents. have been 481 to 48g.
The Railway Share market has been very firm again.
Caledonian, Eastern Counties, Great Northern, North •
Western, South-Eastern, and the York lines, are higher.
North Stafford and Great Western are about the same as
previously.
