Rollin--a small number, certainly, for the re-
republic and socialists together. What they want,
other than civil war, is not easily understood, ex-
cept il be power, which ,s always the case with a
French politician. Political power and the theatre
are both meat and drink to Frenchman. For
these he will fight. go hungry, and sleep in the
summer, is pretty COED lodging. M. Lamennais
is Catholic priest, elected from PARIS during
the first election. He Is a violent sgltator, and
his paper has been suppressed.
Sometime since, General Cavalgnac, IN Casual
alluson to the French Convention, spoke of his
father, as having been of the number OF It's men,
bers, whose memory he was happy to cherish, or
something to that effect; and thereupon the le
gitimIs.s came ont with terrific attack upon the
memory OF his father, who voted, in fact, for the
condemnation OF Louis XVI and they have been
followed upby the Press, Emllede Geraudn, with
degree OF vrulence. which proves that he does not
Ielieh his eleven DAYS OF imprisonment, and the
suspension of his Press--and that, had he the
materials, he would assail the character of the
son, as be has that of the father The charge
against the father is,. that he was a bloodthrsy
monster, and that he sacrificed the honor OF
Mdiie. Labarrere, upon promise, in consideration
thereof, to save the life OF her father but that he
did not thereafter redeem his promise, hut al
lowed the father to be led to the scaffnId. But the
old men and women Of that day-a few Of whom
are alve--have established two points, very inn
portant. The first is. that the honor Of the
daughter was never sacrificed; and second, that
Colonel Cavaignac bad ne part or lot IN bringing
the father to the scaffod There happens to he a
number of the committee now lvlng--morc than
eighty years old A royalst IN these DAYS. and a
d. c,ded opponent to Cavagnac and his trends who
sat upon the committee that investigated the
causes Of the death of NJ. Labarriere, and brought
the anfhOrs OF 1t to punishment, has given
the public an interesting account Of the facts
developed, and ct those pronounced guilty and
innocent, among the latter of whom is Col Ca
valgnac. This old ConventiOnist says, that the
mission 1T Col. Cavaignac was difficult one; that
he had terrific duties as officer to perform. but
that the examination showed that he sOftened the
violence OF his miss on, by falling to execute the
orders given HIM, according to their import; and
that the committee fennd nothing to object TO in
his conduct. To-day the Patria contains letter
from one who was upon the spot when M Labar-
rere was executed. giving full history OF the act;
showing that Col. Cavaignac had nothing to do
with 1t, but was lehtingin Spain when It occurred;
Il appears that M. Labarrere was Baron and
PrevOt, and that he was arrested on account of
letter he had written that soon as he was in
prison, he provided himself with a vial of poison,
to be used If he found it necessary; bnt that he
was seized so suddenly and Unexpectedly to be
carried before his Judges, that he had no oppor-
tunity to take it and that it was but half an hour
from the time he was taken from prison till he was
beheaded. including his examination. Penet,
Representative. was the presiding genius at these
sacr fees, and the Judge. He was condemned by
the Commission before referred to. M. Labar-
rere. was one of eight victims that were beheaded
at OAK, during the reign OF terror in France.
Thank God, there is sufficient intelligence and
calmness now in France, to hold in check all the
farafics and to save the repetition of such scenes.
We have received news from Boston to the 4th
OF October. hut all the papers from New York are
wanting. We have no news of the progress Of the
Presidential election, further than one of the
French journals says, that the friends of General
Taylor and Clay have united and therefore it is
thought that the former unites the greatest num-

The question of substitutes, called remplace-

EXIST and all the young men in France who do
not want to go into the army, were in a lively
state OF agitation. 1t is IN contemplation tn take
only the SINGLE men, between eighteen and thirty

getting married and going into the army; and
many say they would rather go into the army than
get married. But yesterday the Assembly over

popular favor but moderately, however; but that
neither the country nor the Assembly regard HIM
as competent for the post OF President in this try
