PARLIAMENT. Mr.. Hume's long antcipa.
ted motion for the Representation came on, on
Tuesday evening, goth June, in the House of
Commons vast number Of petitions were pre-
sented by the hon MEMBER and many others, to
tortity his demand for a revision of the Reform
Act; and his motion was supported by long
and able speech, in which all the alleged defects
OF the present system of representation were
clearly set forth. The new charter of Mr.
Hume's party embraces sfour points," namely.
to extend the elective franchise to househoders;
to take the votes by ballot; to limit the duration

alarming degree In Dublin, alone, it is stated
that there 40 clubs, each consisting of 800
members, making an aggregate of $4,000 men,
who are accustomed to assemble, at least once
week. for the avowed purpose of being trained
and disciplined.
FRANCE.
THE STATE OF THE COUNTRY. The French
people continue still in transition state. The
same degree OF anxiety and alarm exists respect
ing the future, although the threatening aspect
of affairs which prevailed last week has in some
degree wore away, in consequence of the resig-
nation rendered by Louis Bonaparte of his seat in
the National Assembly. In the meantime the
Executive Government loses authority and influ-
aNSS~ NoiJs AhdHISS are i'll d most ueptOfdDIe
condition; the provinces in state OF great disor-
der and the eventful issue OF the mighty revolu-
ton OF February remains still one of the unfath-
omable mysteries of the future.
In the provinces the most frightiol aistresS
prevails; and the peasants-in the very heart of
the country as we'll as at the extremest-resist
the payment OF the increased taxes with arms in
their hands, and blood has been split in manv ot
these collisions.
The office of President of the Republic is al
ready subject Of intrigue. Six candidates are
already in the field-M. deLamartine, M. Theirs,
Prince Louis Bonaparte, M. Marrast, General
Cavaignac, and M Cassidiere, the ex Perfect of
Police. The Orleans party will support M Theirs,
and M. Berryer has declared in his favor. The
legitimists are divided between Theirs and La
martlne. III the election were soon to take place.
little doubt exists but that Louis Bonaparte would
be the successful candidate.
The Paris journals, of Wednesday, the 2st of
June, furnish additional confirmation of the above
melancholy picture of affairs. The clubs are
now openly concerhng means to dismiss the Ex.
ecuuVe Government. Prince Louis Napoleon
Bonaparte is expected to be elected commander
OF the I'd Legion of National Guards; and Prince
Napoleon, son OF the ex-King of Wesphalia, was
candidate for the command of the I'd Legion.-
The workmen OF the ateliers nationaur, still
amounting to 10000, were creating infinite
alarm; and the increase of the taxes on the art,
cles OF first necessity to the poorer classes in Par
is, was pregnant with mischief But il is in the
provinces where the greatest danger is brewing.
From north TO south increasing discomfort pre-
walls. In the north, at Amiens, there seems
determination to march on to Paris. and put an
end to the tyranny Of the capital whilst in the
south, four departments have already organized
and drilled $4,000 men for that purpose. Groups
OF persons in Paris assemble every evening, and
shout, Vive PEmpereur.
A meeting OF representatives, who have tn
erto supported the Government, took place on the
2lst inst at the Palais Royal, at which il was
agreed that they could be no longer maintained
in power. We may, therefore, expect from dav
to day to hear OF the resignation or removal the
present Executive Commission.
On the 22d, numerous groups assembled in diff
ferent parts OF the town, some of whom cried
"Down with Lanartine"
The Messenger has the following :--"A new
Pretender is spoken OF in the person OF the Prince
OF Leuchtenberg, the of Prince Eugene. and
a relation OF the Emperor OF Russia"
The election of Prince Louis Napoleon as Col.
onel OF the 4th Legion Of the National Guard of
the Baulieue, vice Dalton Shee, resigned. has

The feeling in favor of Louis Napoleon seems
t. increase; and his declination of the honor paid
him is likely TO turn out successful stroke Of
policy.
