LIVERPOOL, May 9th.
In France the surface OF politics appears some
wnat more calm. There is a lulI, for the moment,
at Paris bit Il ons is prey 20 all the violence of
mob government. The Provinces are in "a fright
tal dissf1ec,cd state. The grand National Fttc
took p.ce last Sunday at the Champ de Mars,
which ct course, rendered the Parlsians happy for
the day. The Deputies of the National Assem-
by assisted at the solemnity, which, however, did
ncude the dinner &c about 50 900 guests as in
trndNd-thc banquet part of the arrangement
hrviug been rclinqaished as lmpracticabe.
The Assembly and the governmca:--for already
The two powers nave exhibited unmisakeable
s!sl- VI being discordant bodies, and not -ordl-
nate authorites--the two branches, which we can
hardly call the Legislature and executive of
France, for each aims at being both-both had no
sooner crushed the movement OF the 10Th OF May,
than they began each to contend for the mastery.
The National Assembly insists upon keeping as
much power as is compatible with its functions in
Its new hands. The executive committee requires
more power, in order to maintain order, and to
keep moving the wheels of government
The first proposed decree, regulating the relations
between the Legislature and the Executive, has not
been carried. The articles, authorizing the men,
bers of the Executive to Sit in the Assembly, and
restricting the power of the President of the AS
sembly the troops, were successfully rejected;
and that one especially which proposed to confide
the external protection of the Assembly to the Ex-
ecutive, was unanimously rejected Not only does
this distrust manifest itself between the two auho
rites, but the Executive is torn with internal dis
sentions and the impression is that it must fall to
pieces
We hear from all quarters that M. Lamartne
and M. Ledru Roln will resign, and that the new
Executive will be formed of Marrast, Arago, and
Marc-some report Cavalgnac, who, we have al
ready said, has assumed the Portfolio of War.
From all the observations we are enabled to make,
1t appears to us that the National Assembly, elected
by universal suffrage and vote by ballot, although
decidedly republican, is nevertheless much
more conservative than democratic. The ballots,
Dutraus, and the Theirs party, evidently by their
experienced temper, and as the representatives OF
property and order, carry very great, If not pre-
dominating weight, in the Assembly These are
further strengthened by the Legitimatists, whose
confidence has so far increased within these few
days. that the Presse, their organ, has published
series of private letters from Prince de Joinville
now at Claremont, near London, eminently
calculated to awaken dynastc sympathies,
and to pave the way for his return to France, at
least as private citizen. We have no doubt
that Lamartine and the republicans aware eff
this movement and it accounts for the decree re-
corded in our last interdictng any member OF the
Orleans family from ever again setting his foot up
the French soil, which the committee on the b II
has sanctioned. To such an extent, however, hav
the hopes of the regency party reached, that de-
monstration of operatives in its tavor contem-
plated, and indeed from day to day, in conse
qucnceof the alarms, real pretended, of
threatened demonstrations on the part Of some
bodies or others of the people, every avenue lead
ing to the National Assembly and every room, hall
and passage of the building is daily thronged with
soldiers with fixed bayonets, and from fifteen to
twenty thousand troops occupy the quays adjoin-
Ing during the sttings Of the National Assembly,
has plainly and boldly declared that the system of
keeping 100000 or 10000 men pensioned by the
State, doing nothing, mnst be done away with.
The organization of labor, which was the pretext
and the successful cry of the revolution of February
has been found to be impracticable. The ouvr,es,
who were masters of the situation, and OF the Ma
tional Guards, now find that, not only their autho
ry is slipping under their feet, but that the troops

strength of parties is altogether changed. The

statement has been given of the numbers arrested

privately and secretly but anything like public
examination, which would enable all Europe TO

has officially transpired, that Sobrier, who,
it will be remembered, had little prefecture

credit of this, then 1t was ascrbed to Ledru-Rollin
who shifted of his own shoulders to those OF his
secretary Rcynault, who again in his turn declares
Caussidiere to be the party who supplied these arms
We must bear in mind that Rcnault, creature OF
LedruRolln, is just nominated chef secretary to
the new Prefcct of Police-undcr these circumstan
