FRANCE.
From, the London Morning Herald of Mly6.
The engrossins topics Of the Paris papers are
still the approaching elections, and the apprehend
ed dangers of the celebration Of the anniversary
of July, two subjects naturally of Importance en-
ough 70 turn the heads of Frenchmen, who are ac-
cus,oned to see dynasties destroyed and consti-
tutions new modelled under less threatnng pros.
poets, but which possess but secondary inter.
est for those who are not subjects Of the Citizen
King" Candidates Of all colors in politics were
already taking the field, and the newspapers
teen with the average share of lnsincere and
imprudent professions Of disinterested patriotism
which We are accustomed to upon the eve of a gen.
eral election nearer home. The minister's anx.
iety for the result appears rather on the increase
than otherwise. as the crisis approaches; and
when it is considered that, by their unpopular
foreign policy, they have placed not only their
own influence, bnt the safety Of the Peerage,
and perhaps Of the monarchy itself, in jeopardy,
they may be we'll excused for feeling uneasy un.
der all the circumstances. They now make no
show of opposing the popular voice with respect
to the hereditary Peerage as their supporters have
obtained permission to pledge themselves to vote
for Its abolition. There seems to be no doubt but
that the effect Of the elections will be to compel
a change in the foreign policy of France. These
papers. with single exception, are silent upon
the subject Of the Duchess of Berri's reported
movements in Germany to which some Importance
seems to be attached in this country. ImbeciIe
as the Bourbons are, the journals, perhaps, have
charity enough to acquit them Of the insanity Of
attempting counterrevolution in France. The
Globe asserts that it was the Queen Hortense
who passed through Mentz, and not the nutchess
Of Bern, and thus takes the ground away from all
the curious specu|ations which had been formed
upon the circumstance.
The accounts flom Spain and Portugal repre-.
sent the tyrants of these countries as treating
their subjects with increased severity, since the
intelligence had been brought to the Peninsula
by an english vessel Of the arrival of Don Pedro
in Europe. The notices of Poland ascribe the
loss of the fortress of Flock to treaehery IN a
Colonel of the Corps of General Uminski, of the
name Of Sobieski. The traitor has been shot.
| Calais, July 2-This town is at this moment
in the greatest confusion, and nothing for the
last two hours has been heard but the drums beat
ing to arms, the word of command from the
military officers, or the exulting shouts of the
populace from every quarter. The cause of this
tumult it appears, is, the general discomfort of
the working classes at the present extraordinary
high price Of corn, which they attribute principal.
ly to the monopoly of a few rich merchants in
this town and heishborhood.
Paris, .Iuty s.-The King returned to St.
Cloud on Friday, and is looking very WE'LL
All the Ministers visited him. and council was
held on Saturday, and again yesterday. Some
modification in the Ministry will probably take
place during, or Immediately after, the elections;
but 1t will be merely with view of strengthen
ing the Cabinet, and wIl not in the slightest de-
gree affect any alteration in the policy or mea-
sures of the Government.
