We condcnse from the Philadelphia Bulle-
tin, the following summary of the news
brought by the Cambria:
The steamship Cambria, Capt Harrison,
arrived at Boston yesterday morning; but in
consequence of an interruption in the tele-
graphic communication between that city and
New York, the new s did not reach US until
an eally hour this morning.
The Cambria sailed from Liverpool on the
18th uIt., and therefore, brings seven days la
ter intelligence.
The news from France is of the highest i'm
portance.
The Cotton and Corn markets are in de
pressed state-a slight reduction in prices
having been submitted to since the sailing Of
the last steamer.
The money market was in an easy condi-
ton. We have received a copy of Wilmer &
Smiths Liverpool Times, of June II, from
which the following summary is made up.
Francc.-Paris filled qcith troops.--The
European Times gives the following account
of French affairs, which had transpired since
the election of Louis Napoleon to the Nation
al assembly was announced:
AS soon as the government perceived this
most unexpected reaction. evidences most in
controvertible, by the ballot an universal stuff
rage, they assembled instantly. Paris was
instantly filled with troops, andzit is said that
not less than 200 troops of the line have
been congregated in the French capital.
Attroupements have taken place every nigh,
this week, in spite of the new law. On Sat.
urday night, about 200 persons were hemmed

the Prefecture. Amongst them were English
Americans, and, it is said, even women in dis
gulse. In short. the rappel and the generate
have been beaten every day, and the confu-
sion and excitement have been greater than
ever
The Bona partist dcmonstration.-We must
state that whether under the pressure of APP
prehension or patriotism, the National Assem-.
bly, displayed, at first, noble feeling. The
most eloquent announcements of all tyrants
and relationships, seen clearly in the perspec.
tive, burst from many of its members. The
popular feeling out of doors, is evidently di.

are answered, and sometimes drowned, ir
shouts OF g Vive l. Emperor" " Vive la Bona

The People Siding ,cith Louis Napoleon
Il cannot be concealed that there is morbid
feeling in favor of the Bonapartes, which
time has not extinguished.
A body of National Guards set off to Bou-
logne instantly, in order, il is supposed, to
welcome Louis Napoleon TO the shores OF
France. They were even going on board a
vessel under the pretence of sea excursion,
but the Mayor put stop TO their proceedings.
In spite of the vote OF the National Assem-
bly,, the people declared that Louis Napoleon
shall take his seat No doubt gold has been
circulated amongst the populace to greater
or less extent but if the National Guards falterd
in their allegiance, what hope can be enter.
