script from France, the intelligence is not
very interesting. We condensc the whole

Six candidates for President are already in
the field, viz: M. de Lamartne, Thiers,
Prince Louis Bonaparte, M. Marrast, Gen.
Cavaignac, and nj. Caussidiere, ex-prefect of
police. The Orleans party will support NJ
Theirs, and Berryer has declared IN his favor.
The legitimsts are divided between Theirs
amp Lamartine.
If the elections were soon to take place,
little doubt exists that Louis Bonaparte would
be the successful candidate. This feeling ex-
hibited by the French people in his favor,

almost every electoral college in France. Ac-
cordingly, the constitution has already been
altered to meet this first difficulty in its work.

nifty, entreated the mob to dsperse, but to no
effect. They endeavored TO hang him up to
lamp by rope, which they procured, when
he was rescued by his grenadiers. AT five
O'Clock, the people not having taken down
the barricades as he had required, he ordered
heavy guns to be brought into play, and he
continued firing until 10 O'Clock at night
The conflict lasted, almost without intermis-
sion, during the next day, and by the latest
accounts, we hear that Prague was heap of
ruins. In consequence of this bombardment
Prince Wiudschgratz had retreated from the
city with the garrison, and occupied the
heights commanding the town.
