This is the only intelligence thus far received which
throws the least light upon the probable future of the
French Republic or indicates in any degree the shape
which things are taking. 1t renders it certain that
there to be struggle between the conservative
republicans and the radical democrats-thc former led
by Lamartne, and supported by the most intelligent,
and thus far the most portion of the people,
and the latter by Ledru Relln backed by the rabbe
and aided also by the Socialist. Communist, and Fou-
rler theorists with whom fanaticsm supplies place
of actual suffering, and who are more numerous and
more formidable in Paris than in any other city in the
world This struggle is to commence in the Assembly
body made up almost entirely of men, elected
under revolutionary impulse and therefore repre-
senting and sharing the passions which gave them
power, and peculiarly subject to the dctaton and
mination of the mob outside. The conservative party
will seek to preserve order to guard property to
mote the public prosperity to render the ordinary
suits of life in I'LL departments, SAFE quiet and prof.
table The very attempt to do this will subject it
the charge from its enemies Of counteractng the Re-
volution-a charge which is uniformly made against
the party in France which seeks to disturbance
and which has never yet failed to produce effect
Thus will the old contest be renewed-the same
which has always been waged in France. indeed
with less dstinstness in every other country
in the world-the same which in the first revolution
plunged the country in blood and covered the world
with horrorthe which drove Louis Philippe from
his throne and created republic to be rent and ii
may be destroyed by the same ever beginning never
ending strife The republic is thus likely to fight
battle in which the late king worsted-but it
occupies better position lower down. nearer the
people, and in which it may, therefore, hope for far
greater popular support than the monarchy enjoyed.
with this support it is ardenty to be hoped it may
maintain its ground against all the elements of disor
der and of crime that may combine against it. But
the struggle will be fear bloody and it
be added, of doubtful issue.
