PARIS, TUESDAY EVENING.
The elections for the departments have been
very favourable to the Government. Only three
Opposition candidates are yet known to have been
elected ; namely, Dr; Henon for Lyons, Curs for
Bordeaux, and Porion for Amiens. Alontalembert
has been defeated in the department of the Daubs.
A private despatch from Lille, just received, an-
nounces a majority of 7,000 votes in favour of the
Opposition candidate (Jules Braun) in that city.
The following returns have been received :
Lisieux.—M. Arnedee Rene, Government can-
didate, was returned by a majority of 13,000 votes,
out of 17,000 voters.

Marseilles.—Edmond Canaple, Government can-
didate.

Aix.—M.
Rigaud, Government candidate.
Doubs.—The Duke of Corregliano against the
Count do Montalembert.

Gironde.—M. Arman against M. David.
Somme.—All the Government candidates, except
M. Delamarre.

Tarn-et-Garonne.—M. Belmon tel.
Rhone.—All the Government candidates, except
M. Cabias.

Hautes-Pyrenees.—M. Achille Jubinal,
Gers.—Granier de Cassagnac.
Loiret.—Duke de Tarente and Nogent Saint-
Laurens.

The Pays, Ministerial journal, says that the re-
sult of the elections surpasses all the hopes of the
friends of tho Empire. Out of 200 elections known
at present in Paris the united Opposition have
not returned more than six or eight of their
candidates, including those in Paris.
Tho Pays adds, that even in Paris the elections
have a particular signification. The real contest
was in the third circumscription, where all the Op-
position force was concentrated, and there General
Cavaignac only polled 10,345 votes, 4,123 less
than in the year 1852.

The Moniteur publishes the result of the Paris
elections. The numbers are, except one or two in-
significant variations in the unit figures, identical
with those received by telegraph, which appeared
in The Sun yesterday. The Moniteur states, how-
ever, that in the third circumscription, where Gen.
Cavaignac was at the head of the poll, having 10,345
votes against 10,108 for the Government candidate,
M. Germain Thibaut ; as well as in the fourth cir-
cumscription, where M. Varin, the Government
candidate, obtained 9,633 votes, his opponents
Emile 011ivier and Garnier Pages getting, tue
former 6,741 votes, and the latter 2,749 ; and also
in the seventh circumscription, where the numbers
were for Lauquetin, the Government candidate,
10,609 ; for Darimon (of La Presse), 6,826 ; andfor
Bastide, the well-known writer on political economy
3,647—an absolute majority of the whole number
of registered electors has not been obtained, and a
second election for those circumscriptions will
therefore take place. The whole number upon the
register iu the third circumscription is 34,863; in
the fourth circumscription it is 35,385 ; and in the
seventh circumscription it is 36,249.
The Imperial exequatur has been granted to the
Chevalier Strambio, as Consul-General for Sar-
dinia at Lyons ; to M, Kerros, Consul for Portugal,
at Brest ; and to M. Bremer, as Consul for the
same power at Cette.
The. Nord of Brussels says that there is seriously
question of a new visit to be paid by the Emperor
and Empress to the Queen of England, and that
one of the objects of the recent visit of the Minister
of State to England was to settle the details. The
same journal says that an interview between the
Emperor of Russia and the Emperor of the French
is considered probable in official circles.
The Moniteur contains a decree founded on a
very eulogist icreport from Admiral Hamelin, Minis-
ter of Marine, promoting to the rank of Capitaine
de Fregate Lieut. de Lavaissiere de Lavergne, who
commanded the Duroc steamer at the time she was
wrecked, and who was a few days ago honourably
acquitted for the loss of that vessel. Other decrees
nominate five of the officers and warrant officers of
'that vessel to be knights in the Legion of Honour,
and confer the military medal on nine others of
her crew.

BOURSE, June 23.—The result of the elections in
the department of the Seine not having been as

partments, where only nine members of the oppo-
sition had been returned. Threes declined from
68fr. 55c. to 68f. 40e., and rallied to 68fr. GOc. ;
