In the provinces, about the same number Of
cases were daily reported; but in Scotland the

day.
Ireiard.-The Internal state of affairs in Ire
land is without any improvement, or even the
hope OF a change for the better Between the
poverty and destitution ofthe small farmers, and
the crowded state Of the warehouses, the awful
amount Of poor rates which are refused, and the
discomfort which prevails, the country Is in a
frighuul state. The eviction of nsolyent tensnis-
is the order OF the day. A large and influential
meeting has been held in Portarlington, for the
purpose Of inducing the House of Commons to
institute searching inquiry into the whole
working Of the present poor laws in Ireland. in
order to effect the legitimate purpose of the poor
laws. At Skibberecn n meeting has been held
at which committee of intelligent gentlemen
has been appointed to visit and report on the
present state Of the poor, which is at present re-
ally awful.
Frdnce.-The majority which Louis Napole-
on has received in France seems TO have aston
ished all parties. He is carried into the Pres.
dency with rush" The latest reports say
that he will have -four million votes, while Gen.
Cavaignacs strength will not amount to a mill.
ion The vote Of the other candidates is not
estimated, but it will not be great enough 10
change the relative condition Of the poll.
The vote of Paris was as follows Prince
Louis 1870, 562, Cavaignac 1878, Ledru Rollin
| 22,l99, Raspail IS, 1893, Lamartine 3,I3s With
the suburbs, Louis's majority in Paris is 27.0OO.
His official election would be proclaimed on the
/ 9Th or goth.
The London Times regards the result of thi,
election as "a distinct protest on the part Of the
French nation against the Republic, the Repub.
licaR party, and the revolution by which that
party dethroned the late dynasty, and grasped
the supreme power"
The Ministry of the new President, although
not officially announced, is mainly formed II

Prince Louis Napoleon.

chief Of the army of the Alps, but is to remain

AT last dates an increasing confidence was
manifested in the new administration, and the
funds have risen per cent.
Prussid.-The most important event is the
dissolution Of the National Assembly by an act
} Of the King. This Assembly has been in session
! long time, for the purpose Of "concording" q
Constitution. But the King seems to fear the
/ practical working of the administration they
were establishing, and resolved upon this bold
and arbitrary act in advance. At the same
time he requested the nation to accept charter
drafted by himself, granting most of the priyil-
eyes for which the people have commended, and
this must be regarded as another trophy of Free
dom. IL was received with satisfaction by the
people, and affairs are more quiet in Prussia
than they were at previous accounts. ~
Austrid.-The abdication of the Emperor
Ferdinand l., excites universal surprise. Francis
Joseph J., his nephew and successor is young
popular among the people, and promises, in bis
a proclamation, to promote the progress of free.
q dom. He uses the following language:
1--WE are convinced of the necessity and the
value Of free institutions, and enter with conf
;. dence on the path of prosperous reformation Of
c the Monarchy
Il On the basis of true liberty, on the basis Of
/" the equality of rights of all our people, and the
h equality of all citizens before the law and on

- resentaton and legislation, the country will rise
: 10 its ancient grandeur; it will acquire new
strength to resist the storms of the time, it will
N be hall to shelter the tribes of many tongues
. united under the sceptre of our fathers"
This is indeed fair promise, and we trust
VI the discipline administered to his uncle will
e teach him the necessity of acting according ia
|. the excellent principles he has proclaimed. Al
all events, the change which has thus been fore.
& cd upon the Royal Executive is agratifying TO-
ken Of the progress of liberal principles,
> Hungary.-The Pesth House of Represents
tives has declared the Throne of Hungary va
IS cant, and the house of Hapsburg unworthy to
j. reign. 1t is said that Kossuth has written to MI
,f Styles, the United States Minister, in order to
request him 10 use his influence with Windisch
gratz to induce the last named to consent to q
n, three months truce with Hungary.
4 RoRls.-The Pope has fed in disguise to the
= dominions Of the King of Naples. From his re-
e tirement he has issued manifesto of mingled
d complaint and entreaty to his "mis-led" subjects
1t In this document he dominates a Governing
a Commission for the Roman States during his alb
sence. His friends at Rome are said to be fill
ed with dependency. The place he has chosen
n for an asylum is extremely odious; and this to-
= gether with the manner Of his fight seems iC
d have greatly enraged his enemies. The tempo
&c raj power of the Pope is evidently broken, ant
1t we fear that no petitions of Virgin or Saint will
be able to arrest its impending doom.
