Elections In France
The elections occupy the Paris papers of Thursday TO
the almost entire exclusion of all other topics. The
suits becoming more and apparent and conlma
iory OF the calculation that NM Lanatne, Dupont, (de
mont Cremeux, Carnoi, Beanger, (he poet) Bastlde,
Pagnene, and others of the ministerial and moderate
party, would figure in the list of elected pretty nearly as
thus gwen, while NM. Ledru Rollin, Flocon, Louis
Blanc, Albert and Caussldere, would have little more
than the majority it, indeed OF them did not abso-
Ste a Thus as tar as respects spec the pars o

therefore the of being justified or proved ground

that during the many weeks of the agitation OF the ques
tonhe party of order and moderation has been gaining
strength, until has reached the point at which the
best friends of the republic desired 1t should remain: IT
has produced feeling of confidence and sense OF

led to It be persevered in
many of the former liberal deputies would be returned
with also several whose principles were VIGOROUSLY not

The Paris papers of yesterday confirm our previous
report that the eight moderate members OF the provsona
government will! be at the top Of the list OF the "a
deputies elected for Paris while the four members OF
more violent tendency will be nearly at the bottom of it.
The elections in the departments were on the whole, o

these queries was satisfactory Ihe parties in question

They may desire that Its march be rapid and in tn
line that they themselves deem the best for its prosper
