The Banquets-The Red and Tn Colored Repsb-
l,cs-Eiection of President The Courts.
The banquets at Toulouse and Bourgess and the
scene of Saturday in the Assembly, are creating
grand agitation m Paris. The officers appointed
by the Minister of the Interior and Instruction, at
tended the banquet at Toulouse but the com
mander OF the military STATION had decided not to
but, pressed by the committee to attend, he sent
despatch to the War Office, to ask for instructions.
Gen. Lamorclere referred it to Gen. Cavaignac,
who promptly decided to refuse the authority but
the other ministers had not time to assemble to
settle the question as to the other officers The
course of the Minister of the Interior in respond
ing to the interrogation, does not appear to be
satisfactory; he refused to believe the facts as
stated but do not see that he failed to give assur-
ance OF furnishing the proper redress, If they were
found to be as stated But Gen Cavalgnac under
stands the object OF these banquets, as any other
man OF sense must, to overthrow him and the tri-
colored republic; and he will take care hereafter,
without doubt, that no man in authority shall at.
tend them; and have little doubt that, in the end,
he will find 1t necessary to apply to them the same
regime as he has to the press of Paris for the
point has come to this, that whoever the strong
esl will rule IN France. The trl-colored and red
republics at issue; und the sword will yet once
more, be drawn to decide the issue. Lcdru Roll
lin now is the acknowledged head of the red re-
public, and Gen; Cavalgnac of the tri-color; and |
predict that the latter will triumph and that if the
former pushes the question to the final Issue, he
will rue the day that he decided to adopt that
measure.
have endeavored to get Abundance in the
Assembly. to-day, to hear the interogations of
Ledru Rollin, and the response of Gen. Cavaig-
nae; but was little too late to receive a ticket
of admission The two chiefs will come to the
tribune to day, presume, In opposition; and able
es Ledru Ro!lin unquestionably is, he will en-
counter cooler and ADLER antagonist, in my judg-
ment, than himself. The contest Is assuming an
imposing attitude; and the red republic Is begin
ming to act openly, and evidently to organize, to
try its strength with the existing administration
Blood may not flow. but expect to see it again
run in the streets of Paris nothing can prevent
1t but the promptitude of the government in pre-
parlng tor It, and the consciousness OF the insur
gents that they will be overthrown.
Connected with this matter, is the election of
President of the republic, and the excitement of
parties upon that question. 1t will be trying
time for France when en- the Presidential election
goes to the people. The press will demand to be
free to discuss the merits Of the candldates-the
excitement and struggle will be tremendous and
there Is no foreseeng the result of the ISSUE 1t is
not not yet decided that the election of President
settled, as wei! as the time and manner of the
elections. Other banquets are In preparation, and
the ground assumed is, that the government has
refused to guaranty, the constitution labor to the
DpODle is mt a
republic.
There was almost an fmeute in the Assembly
on Saturday, and fight on the spot; but for the
rally of the men of the tri-colored flag, those of
the red flag would undoubtedly have taken the
orator of the tribune. One duel between two
members IS to be fou hit and IT will be well if
this is all the blood that flows from that violent
transaction. M. Marrast is denounced for not
assuming his place, temporarily occupied by one
of the Vice Presidents: but he stood a little back
of the chair, as tranquil during the scene, as if
nothing unusual was taking place. Our people
mean very little by such violent scenes-the good
sense of the people generally prevent such tran
sactions having any bad influence out of Congress;
but here the matter is far different. OF itself, 1t
means force, and Its example upon the mass is
terrible. Nothing but the lesson learned In June,
prevents immediate to trial of strength;
but the red republic fears General Cavaignac,
and at present. will not attack him in the streets,
face to face.
The courts are still engaged in trying the chiefs
of the instruction of June and generally their
sentence is Imprisonment from one to twenty
years and in few instances for life. No one
has yet been sentenced to death in one case two
of the Seine Judges voted for that measure !; have
seen no similar instance in any of the trials nor
do see that the evidence developes any case of
unusual cruelty for such scenes. | think that
Barbes and his associates will not be tried until
after those of June shall have been finished these
ca ses are to go before iuries, as Paris was not in
a state of seige on the 10Th of May The hiding
place of Caussldiere is not yet known.
The Nqtfonnet OF Saturday, contained an impor-
tant article on the power Of France to make war,
and her resources, and upon the probable condl-
ton of Europe, under two aspects-one, In case
England was neutral; the other, in case of her
hostility. In both cases, Russia was regarded as
an active enemy.

exposition of his views, reference to the foreign
policy France ought pursue and his fears of the

commended that to support Italy now as an advanced
post and alliance with Germany united, was to
pursue the democratic course which France de-

so, but had rejected the ambassador of the gov

democracy of Germany itself that the courts
Russia Austria and Berlin, were only waiting to
arrange political elements at home before they at
tackled France, and then it would be too late to
have Italy for even an advanced post of defence.
lie commended that the government of France was
mediatng upon the basis of the treaty OF 1915, and
was pursuing the foreign policy of Louis Philippe
that of entire neutrallty-and was of course dis
membering the republic. General UavaIgnac re
Piled that to recognise the principles of the treaty
of 1915 basis, would not be a mediation ; that
whether the monarchles had little or much sympa-
thles for the French republic, was the question;
nor,whether he or the nation had more or less love
for the treaties of 1915 but, as the Assembly did
not demand disclosure of the basis of the media
ton at the commencement now it was In pro-
gress it seemed to HIM inopportune, and he hoped
the Assembly would pass purely to the order ofthe
day, which they did, by about one hundred maiori.
