lhe domestic news in the Paris journals is
not OF great interest. There appears 10 be a
strong feeling in the organs of the moderate
party against the proposed prorogaiion of the
National Assembly, under the dread of api,a-
ton and excitement ifthat body should sepe-
rate. Some OF the Paris papers seem to think
from the last accounts from the provinces,
that the election of Louis Napoleon. as Presi.
dent OF the Council, is not so certain as was
at first supposed. In Normandy, says one
journal, the peasantry are disposed in favor
OF Gen. Cavaignac, and another journal tells
us that Nj. Berryer intends to become a can
didate for the Presidency, in which case, al
though Nj. Berryer has not the slighcs chance
of being elected, he will abstract an enor-
nous number of votes in the departments of
the South which would otherwise be- given 10
Louis Napoleon.
The declaration of Nj. Dufaurc in the Ma

| little 10 be feared from the democratic and
social banquets-;here having been only 100
persons al the lasf, an that only by selling the
tickets al reduced prices although 5000 had

TO the friends of order.
great deal of surprise was manifested IL
pom the decision of the Chamber that the
election of President should take place Oh the
10Th of December. 1t had been generally
supposed that the election would be postpon-
ed until February. One party was in favor
of establishing the organic laws in reference
to the responsibility of ministers, the appoint
ment and functions OF Judges, the elections,
&c, previous TO the election of President
while another would rather leave those sub |
jects to be settled under the new govern. |

AT the sitting of the Assembly on the Goth
Prince Louis Napoleon ascended the tribune,
and read from paper in reply TO the accu-
sation brought against him in the previous sit
ting by NJ Clement Thomas. IM. Thomas
had charged Prince Louis with aiming at the
imperial digniiy.l lie at once admitted that
he was candidate for the office of President
of the Republic. He declared that il was his
right to be 81, and he would not renounce that
right, whatever provoca,ions were addressed
10 him. This declaration was listened to by
the Assembly, with chilling silence.
NJ. GOudchauX has resigned the post of
Minister OF Finance, and NJ. Trouve Chauyel
is appointed in his stead. The resignation of
VI, GoudchauX is attributed to the difficulties
of his position on account Of the poverty of
the treasury, rather than TO any other cause.

AUSTRIA.
The Vicnia journals of the 20,h, contain
nothing new relative to the position of the ci-
ty; but travellers arriving at Bresau from
Vienna, Pesth, and Olmutz say, that Vienna
is completely envroned by the Imperial
troops, and that the note of the emperor OF
Russia of which mention has been made, is
ascertaned to be fact. The Viennois are
much discouraged. The proclamation by
which Windisaraez is created commander
in-chief and ordered TO avenge the death of
General Latour, has produced moumiul i'm
preston.
A telegraph despatch addressed by Prince
Windischgratz TO the Major-General Prerou

same manner as those of BeitA, the officers

armed and sent 10 their homes
