LONDON,

THURSDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 2, 1848.

sion of repulsion was received the project of sending
commissioners into the departments. Why was that
epulsion? It is as not, certainly, against the men—all
perfectly honourable—it was against the secret idea
of the measure. The departments suspected these
!,.miais•sioners to be election agents, who were coming
0 direct and discipline the public mind; and their in-
tele-ndence was indignant at that appearance of moral
pp?. ession which was about to invest itself with the
scarf of representative. Will hot the solemn de-
edit: es.! ion of the Palais National produce the same re-
? That appi ars to us probable. The departments
regard Paris with distrust—they are France, and they
are determined to be a voce—the voice of France, and
not any longer the echo of a single city. There is ano-
ther inconvenience in this designation—that it will im-
part too exclusive a character to the canii,lateship of
General Cavaignac. The Club of the Rue Taitbout has
adopted M. Ledru Rollin; that of the Institute has not
yet pronounced; that of the Rue de Poitiers hesitates,
And will hesitate for a long time still. Here, then, is
General Cavaignac the exclusive candidate of a fraction
if the Assembly. In this way, the struggle is narrowed.
A party candidate is proposed at the very moment when
coteries ought to be set aside, and sentiments of pa-
triotism, liberalism, and conservatism be appealed to, in
(3rder to concentrate on a single name the votes of those
who mingle together thecause of the Republic with that
of society."
_

While the Constitutionnel gives a sort of half-
support to Prince LOUIS NAPOLEON, the Siecle, the
organ of M. ODILON BARILOT, gives its warm and
cordial support to General CAVAIGNAC, as does Count
MOLE, who has expressed his opinion openly and in
no very measured terms on the impolicy of General
CIIANGARNIER and of Marshal BUGEAUD offering
themselves as candidates for the Presidentship. M.
LEDILU ROLLIN is very sanguine as to his own suc-
ces., and in consequence of these divisions among the
friends of the moderate Republic,lit is not improbable
but that he may slip in.
We read in the Moniteur:—" The Breslau Gazette
announced a few days ago that a Frenchman, named
Marchand, had 'aeen condemned at Warsaw, in the
course of last mmth, by a military commission, to
1,000 strokes of a rod, and that the consul of the
Republic in that town had refused to interfere with
the authorities in favour of the unfortunate
man. The same journal added that Marchand
had succumbed in consequence of the punishment.
The Government of the Republic hastened to invite
our consul to send it information respecting these
facts, and it yesterday received a letter from that
functionary, which allows the facts to be re-esta-
blished in all their exactitude. In the first place, Mar-
chand did rot succumb, and half of the punishment
mentioned above was remitted. In the second place,
the criminal proceedings respecting the affair in
which this individual was compromised (seducing
oldiers from their duty) having been secret,
our consul did not learn his arrest and trial until
the punishment had taken place. Finally, Marchand,
who was born in Russia, it is true of French
parents, had never set forth his nationality at the
consulate of France at Warsaw, and was not inscribed
on the matricular register. The consul, in conse-
quence, was ignorant of his presence in that place,
However that may be, as soon as the facts in question
were known to M. Thiers, the consul, he at once
hastened to make to Prince Paskewicz all the repre-
sentations which the gravity of the affair required,
and demanded with energy that the condemnation to
hard labour in Siberia pronounced also against Mar-
chand should be altered by a pardon.".

Yesterday being All Saints Day, the Boum was
closed.

A few transactions were done at the Passege de
I'Opera in the Five per Cents., first at 67f. 90c., and
afterwards at 68f. At this last-named price the
Five per Cents. were more offs red than demanded.

evil-minded men, befare these men be disarmed, without
immediately causing a bloody engagement in the streets?
I ask whether those who offer me peace—who call upon
me unhesitatingly to enter Vienna, even if they are sin-
cere with me, whether, I say, they would be able to
command moderation and tolerance to those who have for
r. e: ks, with arms in their hands, terrorised the city?
"It is my duty to inform the well-disposed portion
of the inhabitants of Vienna of what has taken place
since the short time of my appearance here, and pre-
vious to it.

" For several days continued attacks are made upon
my troops, who are under orders to answer them only in
case of the most urgent need, which has in fact already
occurred at several places.
"The party who are the authors of that unexampled
deed of crime, which was perpetrated on the Minister of
War, Count Latour, and was even perpetrated on his
corpse—who demanded an amnesty of his Majesty and
the withdrawal of the troops, which had been so scandal-
ously attacked—who made a proposition for the banish-
ment of several members of the Imperial House, and
who lately protested against the full powers confided
to me by his Majesty the Emperor, and even declared
the whole of my mission illegal—this party sends to
me an embassage of peace, for the purpose of enticing
me to enter the city with all my troops without any
guarantee.

"Far from me be the thought of employing unneces-
sary compulsory measures. My heart is filled with
grief that I am compelled to act hostilely against the
capital of the monarchy ; but I again ask the right-
minded inhabitants of that city Is mediation pos-
sible in the form proposed to me, and under such
auspices ?

The Prague Gazette of the 26th ult. publishes the
following Imperial decree, transferring the sittings
of the Diet to Kremsir

" We, Ferdinand, first constitutional Emperor of
Austria and King of Hungary, &c.
" The painful events which have taken place in the
capital of our monarchy, and the continuance of this
anarchical state, have reduced us to the s:,d necessity.
for the security of our throne and the weal of our
people, to suppress this rebellion by force of arm, as
we have already announced to our people in our mani-
festoes of the 16th and 19th of October this year.
" From the disturbed state of legal order in the capital,
and the impending intervention of military measures, it
is impossible for the Diet there to continue its delibera-
tions. We are, therefore, induced to command that the
Diet shall forthwith susrend its sittings at Vienna, and
we convoke the same to meet on the 15th of November,
in our city of Kremsir, where it will be able, without
disturbance or interference, to devote itself exclusively
to its important work, the framing of a constitution com-
mensurate with the interests of our States.

" Therefore all elective representatives of the people,
elected for the Constituent Diet, are by these presents
commanded to appear without fail on the 15th of No-
vember, in the city of Kremsir, for the purpose of there
continuing the interrupted discussions in reference to the
constitution, and of setting aside all secondary business,
to bring it speedily to a happy conclusion.
" We feel persuaded that all representatives of the
people who have been elected to the Constituent Diet,
anxious to do their duty to their country, will consider
it incumbent upon them to appear at the above-named
time, at the temporary prescribed seat of the Diet, for
the purpose of their seriously employing themselves, in-
stanter, in the mighty work imposed upon them.
