THE ELECTIONS IN FRANCE.

The MoniMur contains the following article :
"A'l the Electoral Colleges of Fiance having now
finished their, operations,. the
.summary of their
votes, corrected, by the official documents which
have this day reached the Ministry of the Interior,
and completed by the elections of the sth and 6th
presents the following definite result :
" Inscribed voters, 9,495,955 ; actual voters,
6,136,664 ; for the Government, 5,471,888; for
the Oppcsiqon, 571,859 ; votes lost, 92,917. These
5,471,888 votes for the Government resolve them-
selves into 5,200,101 votes given to official candi-
dates, and 271,787 given to candidates who do not
belong to the Opposition.'
" During the 20 days which by our law consti-
tute the period of electoral preparation the most
complete liberty has been allowed to all citizens to
set on foot and promote their canvass, and to the
journals to publish and discuss these questions.
" Now that the contest is over, and that a ma-
jority of more than ,(45,000,000 votes has distinctly
proved the opinion of the country, a limit must be
put to the discussion, which can now have no other
object than the useless agitation of public feeling.
" These discussions cannot be better closed than
by the followinv. table
• December 10, 1848.—Vote for the Presidency.
" Inscribed, 9,977,452 ; voters, 7,440,471 ; for
Prince Napoleon, 5,534,520 ; for other candidates,
1,879.293 • votes lost, 12,434.

" These five great manifestations of imiverssi
suffrage are significant. The successive comparisCL°
(,f these figures must fully satisfy the friends of pair
lie peace, and all who feel how important it is for
the glory and prosperity of France to have a strog
and popular Government.
ct During the course of eight years the number of
dissentients, instead of increasing, has diminished
the clamour which they were allowed the liberty t°
make during the recent elections -has neither attg"
mented their numbers nor masked their impotence.
" France, which has now judged them five tinlelf
has not changed her opinion."
