ELECTIONS OF jIINE 21 AND 22.

Electors of the Department of the Seine,—You
are convoked to name your deputies to the Legis,
lative Corps.
The time exists no longer when, the deputies
representing only a privileged class of electors, the
Government feared to lat its own opinion be openly
expressed on the elections, which were delivered
up to the struggles of parties and the rivalries of
ambition. At the present day the Government, in
frankly adopting universal suffrage, in excluding
from the Legislative Corps every functionary paid-
by the State, has desired the Chamber to be the
sincere expression of the general will. It has only
reserved to itself one single means of influence—
that of proclaiming to the country what men have
its confidence, in order that people may not be de-
ceived by professions of faith, which are often de-
ceitful.

In order to govern, the Emperor must have the
support of an elective chamber, independent, but
devoted to his cause as well as to the new institu-
tions. With the deputies who have already given
proof of their sentiments the conduct of the Go-
vernment will be easy ; with deputies belonging to
another order of ideas you. would expose yourselves
to create agitation and disquiet. You may be
convinced that the consequences of such agitation
and disquiet will fall especially on those who labour
to produce them.

For the rest, several of the candidates of the op-
position—declared adversaries of the Imperial con-
stitution—only canvass your votes in order signally
to repudiate them.
The candidates whom tile Government points
out to you, in nine of the electoral districts of the
departm.-nt of the Seine, are the late deputies.
Whilst preserving an honourable independence,
they have given proof on every important occasion
of their true patriotism.
For the new electoral district rendered necessary
by the increase of the population, the candidate
presented to you has been mayor and is a member
of the Municipal Council of Paris, whose devotion
to the government of the Emperor and to the in-
terest of his fellow-citizens has never been at fault. ,
Like his colleagues, he will be a sure and en-
lightened support.
It is by the co-operation of the great bodies of
the state, and especially of that one which votes
the laws, that the Emperor has been enabled to
pass through five years, during which many and
various calamities have, so to speak, disappeared
beneath the lustre of new glories and new prosperi-
ties. It is owing to this co-operation that the three
years of scarcity have been less disastrous In France
than anywhere else ; that gigantic works have
changed the face of Paris and all France ; that
agriculture, industry and trade ,have been pro-
tected and developed ; that an improve-
ment in the condition of the minor officials
has been enabled to be commenced ; that the
burden of the conscription has been rendered
lighter ; that the army has, notwithstanding this,
received a more solid constitution ; that the insti-
tutions of charity and public assistance have been
multiplied ; that certain taxes have already been
reduced, notwithstanding the cost of the war ; and,
finally, that France has reconquered by arms, as
well as by the wisdom of her policy, the rank that
was due to her in Europe.
Thus the question is clearly put :—To vote for
the candidates designated by the Government is to
ratify their conduct by your suffrages, to approve
what ther have sustained, and to facilitate the
execution of the Rnperor's great projects.
To vote, on the contrary, for hostile candidates,
is to follow in a course without an object men, who
for the most part have in the main no sympathy
with the people ; who, in the exercise of power,
have already given proofs of their incapacity and
weakness, and who would only be able to raise up
again their party on the misfortunes of their
country.
Your choice cannot be doubtful.
The Prefect of the Seine,
G. E. HAUSSMANN.
Hotel-de-Ville of Paris, June 19, 1857.
[A. list of the official candidates for the metro-
politan department, who names have already been
published, follows the above address.]
The Presse has the following :
"Opposition electors of the third circumscription of
the department of the Bouches-du-Rhone, wishing to
give a proof of their gratitude to him who was their
Prefect in the difficult period of 1848 have resolved to
vote for M. Emile Olivier, who is likewise a candidate
in the birth electoral division in Paris. M. Emile
Olivier has sent them his bulletin signed."
The same journal tells the following anecdote,
apropos of the elections :
"M. Garnier Pages signs the advertisements which
indicate his candidature by the words Candidate of the
Democratic Opposition,' apparently to indicate that he
is more democratic than those who call theinseves simply
' Candidate of the Opposition.' Now the following is a
cc ppy of the letter which M. Garnier Pages addressed
on the 24th of February to M. de Maleville. It is 'e-
lated by Daniel Stern in his History of the Revolution
of February,' in a note to page 248 The madmen
that you know have proclaimed the Republic. Prevent
the Duchess of Orleans from showing herself. The
moment is not-Propitious. Ever yours, my good friend.'
M. Gamier Pages has a very short memory."
The following private telegraphic despatches
have been received :

"MARSEILLES, JUNE 18.
"ALGIERS, June 15.—The army ie still on the terri-
tory of the Beni-Raten. The road of Tizi-Ozou is en-
tirely terminated. Not fewer than 13 artesian wells
have been bored ; thatb of Gheggo gives 20 litres per
minute."

!" TRIESTE, JUNE 19.
"Intelligence has arrived from Constantinople to the
11th.. The pretender to the Principality of Montene-
gro, who lived in exile in Turkey, has been assassinated.
The Viceroy of Egypt has arrived at Smyrna. Letters
from Teheran announce the official reception, by the
Shah, of General Bariatinski, the Russian Envoy."

" VIENNA, JUNE 19.
" The Austrian Correspondence contradicts the state-
ment made by the French Moniteur respecting the feeling
in the Danubian Principalities. According to the Aus-
trian journal, the great majority of the Moldavian people
are hostile to unionist tendencies, and it declares that
-the prudent and impartial conduct of Vogorides isgene-
Tally admitted."
