Voting in Franco.
The Provisional Government has communicated
the following to the journals:

not possible, yesterday, to arrive at complete re-
suit. There were not fewer than 900 voters in
the city of Paris and the two ACCOMPLISHMENTS OF
Sceaux and ST Denis add a total of 10000 voters
to this figure, already SO considerable. The mos
practiSed Senators cannot examine more than forty
bulletins in an hour and if we add to this difficulty
that the communes us-sectiOnnaires obliged tc
proceed certain distance to the chef lieu de canton
will be understood that the examination of this
immense ballot exacted a labor of three days. The
general examination Of votes for the department OF
the Seine will therefore take place at the Hotede-
Vile, on Friday, the 2Sth. This operation will
begin at O'Clock in the morning, and, according
to the drrete of the Mayor Of Paris, in conformity
with tine Decree will take place in the presence of
the President OF the central sections, and of the
delegates OF each section. Eight hundred citizens
witnesses of the preceding operations will be present
at this definitlve operation, which will be made
| with the doors open, in the Sale Saint JEAN A
detachment of National Guards, of the different
legions of Paris, and the bantieue, has been con-
voked to preserve exterior ORDER and to surround
with becoming security, the proclamation of the
representatives of the people, which will be made
by the Mayor of Paris.''
PARIS, April 81, P. M-The accounts received
from the Departments state that the elections are
everywhere favorable to the moderate party. The
mime of Lamartne is put forward in vast number
of places, and it invariably figures at the head of
the poll. The candidates started by Ledru Rollin,
and among others, the commissaries, have been
beaten, wherever they have showed themselves.
AT Rouen, though the defnitive state of the poll is
not yet known, sufficient has TRANSFERRED that Lamar
tine, Senard, and other moderate republicans, will
have three times the number of voters in their favor
that Nj. Deschamps, the COmmissary General, and
M Durand, the head of the ateliers nationaur, will
be able 10 By the last accounts, it appears
that II 600 and upwards had voted for the former,
while only $500 had voted for the latter In the
Department of the Eure, NJ Dupont Idle rEure) has
been almost unanimously elected. Those who
came nearest him on the list, are NM. Garnier
Pages, Legendre, Dumont, Legrand, DC. Some
serious riots took place at Louvieres. At Lille, the
parties were equally divided, but accounts have
been received to-day that the Moderes have the
victory. In the Department of the Aube, M. Lg-
nier, who was deprived by NJ Ledru Rollin of the
Commissary Generalship of the Department, be-
cause he was too moderate in his conduct, has been
elected by an immense majority over nj. Crevat,
the Commssary sent to replace him. In the Depart
ment of the Gironde it is stated in letters from Bor
deaux, that the candidates who are likely to carry
the day, are MINI de Lamartine, Billaudel, and
Theodore Ducos, (the former deputies y Lubbert,
Servieres, Henry Ducos, A. Larrien, Clement
Themes, Compens Advocate General, Simiot, and
Denioi the ex-sOus project, who was turned out by
M. Ledru Rollin. Similar results have been re-
ceived from Marsees, Metz, Nancy, Strasburg,
Caen, Rennes, Tours, Nantes, Orleans, Bourges,
AngoulGme, Poictiers, Montpelier, and Nismes,
and Avignon, all of which will send liberal men,
j
of Deputies who will be returned, will, it is sup
posed, be much larger than was expected. 1t is said
that the ultra republicans will triumph at Lyons,
Toulouse, Limoges, Arras, and some other towns of
minor Importance, but there is now no doubt that
at least six hundred out of the nine hundred MEN,
bers of which the Assembly will consist, will be-
long to the moderate republican party. The part-
sans of MN. Ledru Rollin and Louis Blanc have
been beaten almost everywhere.
