LONDON. Nov. %.

We yesterday stated that the French elec- tions in the capital and its vicinity were running directly against the Ministers, and the Paris papers of Monday, which ar- rived last night, supply us with additional ev- dence of the extent of ministerial disasters. The eight candidates proposed by the const- tutional party for the representation of Paris have all been returned by great ma jorities, ,and not one candidate proposed by the Ministry, has the least countenance given to his preten- sions by the suffrages of his fellow citizens. The number of votes in Paris, who came to the poll las we should express it) amounted to about 5000, and of these only 1,l14, or a. bout one seventh part. supported the ministe- rial nominations. The rest gave their votes for the gentlemen whom we have mentioned yesterday-namely, M. M. Dupont, Laftte, Cassimir- Porrier, Benjamin Constant, De Schonep, Ternaux, Royer-Collard. M. Bou- taigne, and Baron Louis, who are sent to the Chamber, by suffrages of 6,6eO electors. The result was, of course, received with great ex- ultation by one party, and with as much dis may by another It would be difficult, says one of the journals, to describe the acclama- tions and transports of joy excited by this memorable victory. In the evening the streets were crowded with citizens who congratula- ted on the result but who at the same time, abstained from any of those riotous expres- sons ofjoy which could expose them to the animadversions of power" On tue other hand the defeated party are beginning to re- pent of this appeal to the nation, and to ex- claim that the foodgates of democracy are a. gain opened.
 Nor is this indignant rejection of Minister ial pretensions confined to Paris. The cleo toral colleges of Versailles, of Compeign. of Pontoise, of Corbeil, have all returned oppo- sition candidates; and at Rouen, Havre, Or leans, Evreux, Chartres, Amiens, St Quintin, Deppe, Beauvais, Peronne, Gervins, and Troyes, the provisional bureaux have been changed,-a sure indication that the return of deputies will be anti-ministerial. There are other changes which we have not room to detail, but we may state that the result known at Paris on Sunday night gave IS deputies & 33 hureaux to the Liberals (or,in other words 46 6nominations) while ministers had maintain ed their ground in only IS colleges.--thus, where public opinion could be expressed, and Government influence resisted with safety, as
 in the capital and populous towns, the Con- stitutiOnal party have been uniformly success full; and if they fail in the rural districts, or
 in the greater colleges, we must ascribe the victory of the ministers rather to the dex- terity of their prefects and other agents in managing the electoral urn, than to the popu- larity of their measures, or influence of their characters.
 Gracia tallaci pretoris vicerit urr.a."
 It is not only the numbers against Ministers which deserved to be remarked in the present crisis, but the characters of the deputies who have been nominated. Several of the Libe- ral candidates who were mostly violently op- posed at the last election, and whose preten- sions were but coldly received by great DOT ton of the electors have been returned on this occasion by triumphant majorities. Among these we remark old General La Fayette, M. Lafitte, M. Dupont.
 The tone of the Liberal Journals has now become so naughty and menacing, in conse- quence of the successes of their triumphan, friends, that we have no doubt tha, the liberty of the press will either be silenced as soon as possible by censorship, or must turn out the ministers. One of the papers be. gins its song of triumph on the electoral victo ry of Sunday by exclaiming that "the minis emy-the enemy of the throne of France How the fingers of the censors must have itched to be at a paragraph like this !-- LONDON, Nov. 2S.
