Progress Of The Great Events i'm
the Old World.

tcltSTdpHeu OH tnlS poit al lVc U CLOCK yesterday
afternoon. Our dispatches reached the Herald
office at fifteen minutes before eight o'clock.
They were brought up by our news steamer News
boy. We are indebted to Capt. Shannon, and to
the Puser &c, &c, for their kindness and at
tention.
The H. sailed from Liverpool on Saturday after
noon, the 9Th inst. Our previous advices were of
the LIST. The lllbernla has thus made the shortest
Passage of the Cunard steamers to this port
The intelligence Is, OF course, important.
The revolution In France has assumed more
promising aspect. The late instruction having
been completely quelled, and tranquility appa-
rently restored, General Cavaignac, as the almost
irresponsible Dictator of France, seems to be
zealousy occupied consolidating the govern
ment; the funds are rapidly improving, and for
the first time since The overthrow of the monarchy,
the hope is raised that France will secure for her.
self, after all her boodshed and sacrifices an
effective, just and moderate executive
PARIS, after the frghtlul events recorded In our
last number, has subsidized into state of compare
tive calm. The measures which the govern
ment of General Cavaignac has adopted have
all been marked by consummate good sense
and judgment. No longer being compelled
to propitlate class, which had been led
falsely to conceive themselves the exclusive object
of all legislation General Cavaignac determined TO
dlspel at once the falacy of the organization of
labor" Public opinion has been considerably
modified upon this subject, especially by an able
speech delivered by M. THEIRS in one of the
bureaux, In which that able statesman challenged
the communists to disclose to the world their
secret of suppressing at will the mlseries of the
working people " If any one possess such secret
he must dvulge it, and if nobody possess i, Yet no
one promise it, for to promise in such case is to
pave the way for the effusion of human blood
The declaration of the new constitution, sstkat
man has right to labor" is directly impeached
by M. Thiers who, however, admits the claims of
old age and incapacity from disease and infrmity,
torelief. Accordingly, General Cavaignac, having
strengthened his position by the introduction OF
an immense military force, has announced to the
National Assembly that the ateliers mationamr are
actually suppressed, timely eleemosynary aid be-
ing granted to the INDECENT until confidence shall
have become so far restored as to revive business
and the ordinary demands for labor. 1t may now
be said that all the mschievous schemes of Louis
Blanc are knocked in the head
This is the first step IN the right direction; and
second is said TO be medltated, which, if carried
Iaio effect will be new guaranty for internal
tranquility and peace with surrounding nations.
1t is reported that the army of the Alps will be
broken up, and that the chief body of the troops
will be transferred to Paris. We should rejoice
mos. sincerely at The adoption of such bold and
efectual poncy. Hu. even at present, all the out
ward indications OF the revolution of February
are disappearing The eternal songs OF &c Mourn
pour la yatric,'' Lcchant du DEPART" NC, are
heard no more, and the people of Paris have
awoke from their Authorizations. The difficulty
of1he nome mt seems to be, in what way to dispose
of the enormous number of prisoners apprehended
as insurgents, which are increasing daily. Five
hundred more were arrested Tuesday last;
they now exceed eight thousand The military
commissions are necessarily laboring in the ex-
amnations and preliminary processes to bring
them to trial but no definitive plan has been yet
fixed upon as to their ultimate disposal. No light
has yet been thrown upon the completely of the
principal leaders. Caussidiere is publicly alleged
to be the chief consprator; and to HIM is ascrbed
the guilt of having mainly concocted the nsurrec-
ton.
The names of Lamartine and Ledru Ro!lln are
also freely mentioned as having promotedthe move
ment, and they are both said to be jealousy
watched, so that any attempt TO escape would lead
to their apprehension. But all these reports have
no official foundation at present; the members OF
the late government preserve a guarded silence,
and we perceive no indication of any hostile act
against them personally either by General
Cavalgnac or the National Assembly. The con-
sideration of the payment of their monthly PEN
sions has been, however, studiously deferred.
The new constitution is in progress of discussion
IN the bureaux We only regard these debates as
indicative of the political opinions prevailing at
the moments since pending the decision of the
great problem, whether a republic can be MAIN
tanned in France, where abstract theories as to
whether the prncip of the constitution shall be,
ssdo not TO one another that which you would not
have done 10 you ''or 'love one another" mat
ter of mere speculation, having no application to a
form of government supported purely by military
force. These questions will, however, serve to
amuse the members of the National Assembly,
whilst General Cavaignac pursucs his policy I'M
controlled of bringing everything into order, and
of allowing if he proves faithful to his principles,
full scope for republican institutions, when the
French people are fitted 20 enjoy their practical
benefit. We may state, however, that il is now
doubtful whether the new constitution will pro-
vide for one or two Chambers; division of
opinion prevails upon the subject and a very
strong minority, if not an actual majority, will
vote for two Chambers. The communist, Pierre.
Leroux, desires three powers in the State.
An attempt is being made to procure the appoint
ment of General Cavaignac,w with penary executive
authority, during twelve, or at least four, months
after the constitution shall be voted. But the mo-
.derate party, with NM. Theirs and Odilen Barrot
at their head, will strenuously oppose such an ar
rangement. At present the conduct and po-
icy of Gen. Cavaignac appear unexccp-
tionable; but when the army of the Alps
shall be transferred TO the Champ de Mars,
and Paris surrounded by six or seven bri-
gades of troops which could crush in an instant
