Foreign News.

The Caledonia has arrived at New York, bring
ing dates TO the gath June The political intelli-
gence is important, especially from France. The
feeling in favor OF LOUIS NAPOLEON, is gaining
ground. He has declined taking his seat in the
National Assembly, Of which body he had been
elected member: his reason is that his election
had been made The preext for disorder and distur
Dances. This is thought TO be stroke Of policy.
Riots in which his maine is mixed up, are of daily
occurrence in Paris. The latest accounts state that
a collision between the military was inevitable;
barricades had been erected in many Of the streets
Of Paris. 1t is stated in Telegraphic despatch
for the Courier g. Enquirer, that the Executive Go.
vernment had resigned, and that Gen. C.ivAIGHAc,
at the head Of the troops had proclaimed the city
in a state Of seige. The greatest anxiety will be
felt for the arrival of the next steamer. In IRELAND
the excitemen' continues. The Confederate clubs
were to have met oD Donnybrook green, on the
Sunday after the sailing of the steamer. "A pro-
testant repeal association had been established in
Belfast. Mr.. HOLMES, the venerable counsel fo
MITCHELL, has resigned his Benchersi,ip. The
Irish Felon newspaper was to lave appeared on
the day of the sailing Of the steamer. $4,000
stamps had been taken Tor the first imprcssion.and
the greatest anxiety to sec the first number was
manifest. The Tribune, another new Irish paper
is very daring and fierce, and the Newy Examiner
and other papers seem TO take up the cause OF the
cause Of thepeoplc boldly.
1t appears that Austria has accepted the media
ton Of England, in the dispute between that coun-
try and Italy. The cotton market at Liverpool
was shade better.

AnCCdOte Of John Randolph.

The following characteristic anecdote
of John Randolph appears in the Boston
Post. Having never seen it in print be
fore. we give it to our readers as a very
complete specimen ofthat orators wit.
During his congressional term, death
occurred in the Virginia delegation, and
among other candidates for the vacant
honors was a gentleman, a lawyer by
profession. who, among his friends, was
quite celebrated for his wit. He was a
man of fine talents. and opposed in bis
political opinions, TO Randolph. During
the canvass preceding the election. this
gentleman frequently boosted that, il
elected, he would soon give Randolph a
lesson, and despite his dreaded powers
teach him his place. He was elected.
and In due time found himself among the
assembled wisdom of the land. True t.
his promise, embracing almost the frs,
opportunity, he was Qua upon the floor,
and down upon old John in speech Of
some two hours length. seemingly with
the intention ofannihilating that innocent
individual. Singular temerity and hardi
hood.

to say word during his first term, break.

Election of President by the House Of Rep.

The constitution of the United States
provides a mode of electing a President
and Vice President in cases where the
people fail TO make a choice. The con.
stitutional provisions, tart. IL of the O..
mendments,) after directing that votes OF
the electoral colleges in the various States
shall be transmitted to the President oftha
Senate, to be opened by him and counted
in the presence of the Senate and House
of Gepresentatives, declares that, in case
where no candidate has majority of the
whole number OF electors. ''then, from
the persons having the highest number,
not exceeding three, the House of Rep.
resentatives shall choose Immediately, by
ballot President"
In conducting the election of President
by the house of Representatives.. each
State is entitled TO one vote, which is cast
by such Representatives as the majority
of the members from the State may agree
Upon. In all elections OF Presidents by
the House, majority ofall the States are
necessary to choice; and, if the House
fail to elect President before the 18th of
March next following, then the Vice
President is to act as President, as in
case ofthe. death of the President. IL
there be no choice of Vice President by
the people, that officer is required to be
chosen by the members of the Senate
from the two highest candidates on the
list.
