The Ultramontane clergy are taking a very active
part in politics, and are using all their influence in
favour of Louis NAPOLEON. The Bishop of
CHARTRES (the M'HALE of France) has addressed the
following letter to the clergy :

" Chartres, Deo. 12.
" Monsieur le Curb,—Weigh most maturely the ad-
vice contained in this communication, and which I
strongly recommend you to follow. On the 20th and
21st of this month. the French people will decide if
Louis Napoleon is to be for ten years President of our
country. The yes or no inscribed on each :citizen's
bulletin will decide that most important point. In-
fluenced by your own views, and still more by
love for your country, of which Jesus Christ has
given us the example, you will sign yes, I have
not the slightest doubt. Providence at present gives us
only that mode of safety, for it is evident that, if Bona-
parte was rejected, Fra❑ce would not find any to substi-
tute for him. The people, led away by intrigues and
false suggestions, might make a detestable choice, which
would plunge our country into new and inexpressible
misfortunes. We have escaped the 2d of May, 1852,
which opened to France a frightful abyss, and it would
be senseless to bring back that chance of ruin and death.
All that we have of late learned of the abominations,
horrors, and excesses of the most savage character,
which have taken place are a slight example of the
monstrous things which would have been committed on a
grand scale throughout France, had Socialism triumphed.
You will perceive, Sir, the irresistible force of these
reflections, which must strike all men of common sense,
and to which, I believe, they would not hesitate to
subscribe. I have the honour to be, Sir, with a distin-
guished consideration and an inviolable attachment,
your servant, . .

" Y. CL. Hip., Bishop of Chartres."
The Legitimatists, as a body, are not at all in-
clined to follow the lead of MM. DE MONTALEMDERT
and DE FALLOUT, and it is supposed that a great
number of them will vote against the re-election of
the PRESIDENT; the BERRYER and the LAROCHE-
JAQUELIN sections will certainly vote against him.
It is said that the risings in the south hare been
Legitimatist, although the authorities endeavour to
represent them as Democratic, in order to bring De-
mocracy into disrepute. The fact that the chief of
the insurgents in the Basses Alpes was the Sub-
Prefect DUTROU-BOSNIER' who was appointed to the
office of Sub-Prefect by M. LEON FAUCHER, would
seem to prove that whatever might be the nature of
the insurrection it could nor, at all events, be consi-
dered either democratic or social.

From the intelligence received yesterday from the
southern departments, it appears that the insurrection
is completely suppressed, the insurgents in the Var
having been defeated in an action in the neighbour-
hood of Aups.

The Coarrzer de Marseilles gives the following
from Dragnignan, 11th :
" We yesterday received the news that the insurgents
had been completely defeated at Aups, and that the
hostages which had been taken had all been given
up. The insurgents were encamped at Aups to the
number of 3,000, and another band, about equal in
number, were ou the surrounding heights. The nature
of the ground concealed the advance of the troops. One of
the vedettes of the insurgents fell into the hands of the
gendarmery, who were at the head of the advancing
column. On seeing the troops he attempted to run off
to give the alarm, but was shot. The hostages had been
shut up in a public-house which served as a prison.
The insurgents were drawn out on an esplanade in
front of the town, and were being reviewed by their
chief when 'the armed force suddenly made their
appearance. The rioters immediately fired, and
their fire was returned by the troops. The gendar-
mery then made a charge, and nearly 60 of the insur-
goats were killed. The rest fled in all directions, pur-
sued by the troops, and a number of prisoners were
taken. In the midst of the gendarmery, and foremost in
the charge, was a young man in plain clothes mounted
on a fine Arabian horse, and who, sabre in hand, fought
with the greatest bravery. It was the young Count de
Colbert, who marched to the deliverance of his father,
who had been taken by the insurgents, and kept a pri•
Boner with the other hostages. The escape of these
persons was almost miraculous. Had not the vedette
been taken these unfortunate men would all have lost
their lives, as orders had been given to hang them, and
posts had been already erected to carry the order
into execution. It appears that the chiefs, as usual,
deserted their followers in the hour of danger. Dutheil,
the chief of the band, disappeared at the moment of the
engagement. Two of the hostages had been wounded,
one of them rather seriously. The troops, with the
prefect at their head, continue in pursuit of the insur-
gents. Order has been completely restored at Brig-
noles; all the revolutionary auttiorities have fled. The '
arrondissement of Grasse is also tranquil. Dr. Pro-
vencal attempted to rally a band at Vence, but it was
driven away, and twelve prisoners taken ; the leader
escaped by swimming across the Var. The gendarmery
have just arrested M. Charles Nicolas Hennequin, who
resided for two years at St. Raphael, and made himself
notorious by his violent political opinions. Ho is said
to be a relation of the celebrated advocate."
We read in the Simaphore of Marseilles of Satur-
day :—" The news from the Var and the Basses-
Alpes fortunately causes the end of the disturbance
to be foreseen. It is announced that Digne has been
delivered, after having been some days in the power
of the insurgents. The latter proceeded to Mees,
where an engagement took place. Private letters
speak also of the flight of the insurgents of Manosque,
and represent order to have been re-established.
Numerous arrests had been effected there. The
following telegraphic dispatch was addressed at four
o'clock in the afternoon of the 12th by the Prefect of
Marseilles to the Minister of the Interior :--
" After the combat at the Mees, on the Durance, at
eight leagues from the Digne, with the insurgents for
the latter town, all tho insurgents dispersed. Those
who remained at Digne evacuated it. The authority of
the Government has been re-established at that place,
with the support of the National Guard. The Prefect
must have re-entered it. The two columns which left
Marseilles with cannon must at this moment be there.
Two battalions are marching from Pertuis on Manosque
and Forcalquier, to complete the occupation of the
Basses-Alpes. All then is finished. Marseilles and the
department are tranquil. " SIILEATJ, Prefect."
Generals OumNoT and LAUHISTON have been re-
leased from their captivity in the fortress of Mont
Valerien.

The Constitutionnel says that the following repre-
sentatives who were confined at Vincennes, Mazas,
and Mont Valerian have also been set at liberty :
