of the Allied Powers. 1t would appea,
from this letter, that the Turks were fan
from experimenting the active commence
ment of hostilities which they were doomed
to experience. Lord Cochrane, in his fiji
gate, with the new steam boat, the Enter
prize, had gone on an expedition to Scio
and it was hoped, from the measures which
had been adopted, that the result would be
favorable.
A Paris paper asserts that Russian
squadron from the Black Sea had orders to
take possession of the forts of the Bosphorus,
or, IN other words, to secure the keya of the
capital.
RUSSIA. Accounts from st. Petersburg
to the Sd of Nov. state that the winter had
set in severely. News had Just arrived
that the important fortress of Erivan had
surrendered to the Russian troops, and that
the garrison consisting of 5000 men, with
Hassal Khan, the commander, were prison.
ers of war.
FRANCE. The accounts from Paris are
to the 2lst of November, inclusive. The
elections in Paris had resulted, by triumph
ant votes, in favor Of the Liberals, and the re-
turns from the departments gave additional
evidence of the extent of the disasters to
the Ministers.
The eight candidates proposed by the
Constitutional party in Paris, had all been
returned by great majorities, and not one
candidate proposed by the Ministry had the
least countenance given to his pretensons
by the sufrages of his fellow citizens. The
number Of voters in Paris who came to the
poll las we would express it) amounted to
about 5000, and of these only liza, or a.
bout one-seventh part, supported the Min
isterial nominations. The rest gave their
votes for M. M. Dupont, Lafitte, Cassimir
Perrler, benjamin Constant, De Schoen,
TernauX, RoyerCollard, and Baron Louis,
who are sent to the Chamber by the suffra-
ges OF six thousand-siX hundred and ninety
electors. The result was, of course. receiv-
ed with great exultation by one party, and
with as much dismay by another 1t
would be difficult" says one of the Journals,
"to describe the acclamations and trans
ports ofjoy excited by this memorable VIC
tory. In the evening the streets were
crowded with citizens who congratulated
on the result, but who at the same time
abstained from any of those riotous express
slons of Joy which expose them to the ami
madversions of power" On the other hand.
the defeated party are beginning to repent
OF this appeal to the nation, and to exclaim
that :" the Hood-gates of democracy are a.
gain opened" Nor is this indignant reiec-
ton of Ministerial pretensions confined to
Paris: returns of pa members had been
obtained, out of which number it was cal
culated only SO were ministerial. About
/ 1856 members were yet to be returned, near
! ly the whole of which must be on the side of
Ministers in order to give them majority.
1t is not only the numbers against Ministers
which deserve to be remarked in the pres
ent crisis, but the characters of the Deputies
who have been nominated. Several of the
Liberal candidates who were most violently
opposed at the last election, and whose pre-
tensions were but coldly received by great
/ portion ofthe electors, have been returned
on this occasion by triumphant maiorities.
Among these we remark old General La
Fayette, M Lafitte, and NJ. Dupont. Changes
in the Ministry and the policy of France are
confidently predicted. On the close of the
Election of the capital, many houses in the
principal streets were illuminated, and such
feeling of triumph and satisfaction appear
ed to animate every one, that it seemed as
if some most joyous event had taken place.
Groups were seen conversing in all direc-
tlons-the theatres, and other places of a.
musement were deserted, and the triumph
ofthe Opposition was of such overpowerino
interest," that the whole population seemed
animated by no other consideration.
