Reg~In regard to the prospects of the French re-
public Mr.. SoULE member of the U. S. Senate from
louisiana and who has just returned from visit to
France, says:
"Whatever be the public feeling in some of the
most populous cities in France the of the peo-
pie in the country and the army at large, are most
devotedly attached to republican institutions and
would suffer one to lay hands on the present con-
stituton, with view to promote the designs of either
imperalists or of legitmsts But their devotion to
that instrument is not blind They do know
that it is deficient many respects Yet rather than
to run the risk of afordng an occasion which they
apprehend might be improved by the reaetionsts OF
all descriptions, they will delay all action on the
present system until the storm which the enemies OF
democracy have excited be entirely abaed and until
the public mind has cooled down and become suth-
GENTLY composed for the perilous undertaking. In
the meantime should those who now hold the power
in France persist in the reckless course which they
are pursuing would not be surprised if one of these
days the people were again reused to insurrection
and in that case, whatever might remain of the SO
cial and political system which has prevailed all ove
Europe these fifteen centuries, would be utterly
crushed and annihilated'
