THE FRENCH REPUBLIC

We have received the Paris papers of yesterday.

The elections were going on, and Paris remained

perfectly tranquil.

The Nationa says that the list of the rotes of the
army and the Invalides published in the Freese of the
preceding day, and quoted in The Sun of yesterday,
was incorrect, and that the real state of the poll is as
follows:—
Louis-Napoleon ...
Edmond Adam ...
Fould

... 4,758
... 2,317
... 2,310

Bugeaud
I)elessert
Roger
Girardin
Thore
Say (Horace)
Raspail
Gervais ...
Cabet
Kersausie

... 2,228
... 1,663
... 1,132
... 1,111
... 968
900
... 853
... 755
... 599
... 331

The list published in the Presse gave to M.
EMILE DE GIRARDIN the third place instead
of the seventh. This is an electioneering
trick worthy of a manager of the Carl-
ton Club. M. EMILE DE GIRARDIN profits by
the instructions of his Tory friends. More than
2,000 Invalides recorded their votes for the nephew
of the EMPEROR. It is generally imagined that
Prince Louis NAPOLEON and M. ACIIILLE FOULD
will be the successful candidates, and that the contest
will be between M. EDMOND ADAM and Marshal
BuGEAVD for the third seat. Several of the soldiers
who have served in Africa have recorded their votes
for the Marshal. The Journal des Debuts says that
upwards of 6,000 soldiers of the army of the Alps,
who have votes for Paris, have voted for the Marshal.
The number, however, is probably exaggerated.
The funeral of M. CHARLES D'Aiteaori, the represen-
tative in the Assembly for Tarn, took place yester-
day. The funeral was attended by M. THIERS, to
whom the deceased had been private secretary in
1830, and between whom the strictest friendship bad
existed since that period. The funeral oration was
pronounced by M. GARNIER PAGES.
In consequence of the representations of the
Austrian Ambassador, the mission of M. PASCAL Du-
PRAT to Hungary has been postponed.
For some days past rumours of an alarming na-
turehave been circulated in Paris, as to the machi-
nations of the clubbists. On this subject we find
the following in the Debate
"For Snrne daysbpast Paris has lost that aspect of
calm and order
not, for
succeeded to the ten ible days of
June. We do
credit than it is or our parts, with to attach more
which are in circulation. reasonablel to do to the 'alarming ru-
moursasserted, that the secretesu a.tio.n. If it be true, as it is
are
ecieties are more strongly or-
ganized than ever, and
to:fresh combats, we are nevertheless to deliver over society
willing to believe
that they are far from having an intention to do so, and 1

that the chiefs themselves will recoil before the fright-
ful. idea of again plunging the capital into all the horrors
of civil war. We are willing to believe that the agita-
tion which' is observable, and which causes great
anxiety to all good citizens" is but the emotion insepa-
rable from a period when the right of universal
suffrage is being exercised in the choice of fresh
representatives. We cannot, however, conceal from
ourselves that there are alarming symptoms, which with
reason, cause uneasiness to the lovers of order. The
clubs have for some time past again raised their tribunes,
and served as the hotbed for the most incendiary pas-
sions. They have uttered the most guilty appeals; the
most sacred laws of society have been there denounced
to the misguided multitude as the cause of all their mi-
sery, and menaces of death have been there made against
the most eminent men of our unfortunate country. The
audacity of the anarchical factions has gone, if possible,
still further; and only on Saturday they dared, in the
Bourse, to violently attack a party of peaceable citiiens,
who, under the protection of the law had assembled in
that building to discuss the merits of the candidates who
had solicited the honour of being elected to the National
Assembly. The moderation and the spirit of peace
which the electors of the 2d arrondissement displayed
on this occasion alone prevented the salle from becoming
a scene of outrage and violence.

"If we were inclined to insist further on this deplo-
rable subject, we might bring forward many more
symptoms equally alarming; but, we repeat, we are
anxious to believe that the factions who thus conspire
reckon too much on the agitation produced, both by
existing distress and by the circumstance of the elections.
" They will, we trust, be mistaken; but cruel expe-
rience should have taught all good citizens that to keep
in check the eternal enemies of order and society, they
must support and not abandon the cause of order them-
selves; let them then show themselves; let them not
wait the appeal to the cannon and to the musket to show
the country that the majority are honest men; let them,
while there is yet time, perform their duties as electors
and good citizens; let not a guilty carelessness, or sense-
less disagreements, come to the assistance of a dan-
gerous minority, for the sole reason that it is well dis-
ciplined by mischievous men. Will it be again seen
that well-disposed men do not know how to concert
together to effect a good purpose? Under circumstances
so serious as those in which we are now placed it is im-
possible to believe that it will be so; all good citizens will
surely comprehend what they owe to their country and
to society.'
There have been some riots at Metz, on account of
a rise in the price of bread. In Dordogne there have
been several cases of incendiarism.

Several cases of Asiatic cholera have appeared in
Paris within the last two days.

In the National Assembly yesterday the sth and
Gth clauses of the Constitution were agreed to, and
the 7th was under discussion when the post left.
The Assembly has rejected the proposition for the
abolition of the punishment of death in all cases.
