litical excitement which has prevailed in this
country for heightened period. On the
other hand, demonstrations of loyalty and
expressions Of confidence in our Govern
ment, aud a satisfaction with the institutions
OF the country, are going forward, chiefly in
Ulster. 1t must be admitted that as far as
numbers are concerned, throughout Ireland
there are at least ten 10 one in favor of re-
peal On the part Of the Government activ-
ity prevails.-They seem to be in possession
OF some secret. warning them OF 1.-The near
approach OF n crisis, when the daring boasts
of tho Irish con:ederates will be put into op-
Grafton, and an attempt made to throw. off
the yoke of Saxon oppression" Ff6insall
we can sec in the Irish papers, sass well as
the tenor of our private advicess sm several
parts of the Island, we are disposed to con-
slider that the authorities any attempt at in
surrection. The Crown cCnspirators with
the least possible delay.-The Repeal Asso-
ciation continues it's meetings, and the advo-
cacy Of the agitation on the principles of
moral force only.
The Government have issued a circular
to the various magistrates of petty sessions
throughout Ireland, calling their attention to
the practice Of drilling in the use of arms
which now prevails, and urging them TO put
i'll operation the provisions OF Geo. Ill, and
lst Geo. W., cap. 1.
In order to put stop to the prevailing ex-
citement, the magistrates of the county of
Dublin have called upon the Government to
proclaim the metropolis and disarm the dis
affected. The magistrates throughout the
entire kingdom are recommended by Gov
ernment to swear in special constables in ev-
cry parish. A circular to that effect has
been issued from Dublin Castle.
FRANCE.
The progress Of revolution throughout Eu-
rope, since our last number, is marked rath-
er by steadincss and determination than by
that precipitancy and rashness which formed
prominent features in its earlier stages; and
events, therefore, do not follow each other in
that rapid succession which some time ago
characterized them. AS the movement had
its origin in France, SO affairs sccm to be
there settling down earliest into order; and
if, as is anticipated, the elections prove favor
able TO the Lamartine or moderate party, the
that country In other portions of the con-
tnent the movement is not SO fully matured;
and we may, therefore, look forward, for
some time yet, to intelligence of a SIMILAR
character to that we now publish.
The elections to the Assembly form almost
the absorbing topic in Fronch affairs; and,
although It was not expected that the choice
of the electors would be made known in Par
is till this morning, sufficient has transpred
to Indicate the complexion that body will as
sumo. The votes examined up to the eve
ming Of the Goth, give an imposing majority
in Paris, in the following order:-1, Lamar
tine; 2, Dudont (de LEureO 3, GARNER Pa
ges; 4, M. Arago; S, Marrast; g. Marie; Z,
Beranger; IL. Cremeux; l2, Bucher; 13,
Duvivier; IA, Carnot; Is, Berger: l6, Mo.
reau; II, Cavagnac; lS, Lamoricicre.--
These all have at least 100000 votes.
There is some doubt If Ledru Rolln will
have sufficient votes to secure, his return.-
NM. Louis Blanc, Albert, Flocon, Rlspail,
and CADET are distanced long way. NJ. La
martne has generally obtained 80 per cent,
and NJ. Ledru Rolin 35 per cent of the
votes Louis Blanc and Albert about l vote
in 40. The Marquis d'Aoncourt, q large pro-
prtetor, and Of the moderate party, is elected
for the Pas de Catais So far as it can be as
certained at present, it appears that not more
than two-thirds of the qualified electors in
Puris have exercised the right of voting.
Next to the elections, the internal dissen-
sions of the Government excite attention.
Another explosion is reported to have taken
place on the 9th instant, in which, rs usual,
NM I.amartine and Ledru Rolln were in
open conflict; the latter desired the further
postponement of the meeting Of the assem-
bly,, the former opposed it; the latter threat
