IRELAND.
On the 18th Dec, the Grand Jury Of the
city of Dublin returned the true bills against
Durfee, for felonious articles in the Nation
and for letter to O'Brien, urging him to re-
bellion. The Southern and Midland newsPa-
pers are filed with heart-rending accounts of
death bv starvation, extensive evictions OF ten
antry, and violent outrages in all their disgust
ing variety.
On the It'll, various parts of the coast were
visited by heavy gale from the westward. 1t
was felt with great severity at Portsmouth,
Bowchurch, Isle of Wight, Plymouth, Fal-
mouth. Bristol and Milford. The shipping in
the harbor rode it out well. The gale was
generally accompanied by very heavy rain.
FRANCE.
The election for President commenced on
Sunday, The 10th Dec, according TO previous
announcement, and terminated on Monday
evening, without the slightest disturbance
On Friday and Saturday some noting took
place in the Place Mauboot on the part of the
Garde Mobile who are enthusiastic supporters
of Prince Louis but it does not seem TO have
reached above sireetrow, although the Guards
were doubled The contest lay of course be-
tween General Cavaignac and Prince Louis
Napoleon, the number of votes rendered for
Lanartine, RoIlin and Raspail being so COM
paratvely insignificant that they may be left
out of consideration Of the result. The cleo
ton returns Of the twelve ACCOMPLISHMENTS Of
Paris show the following result:-Prnce Lou
is Napoleon lS9, I65 Gen. Cavaignac ~, 1874;
Ledru Rollin 22,595 Raspail 1905; Lamar
tine S,3OS. /; is impossible adequately TO de-
scribe the effect which the results of the cleo
ton, which continue TO arrive hourly, have
produced.
In the chamber, all parties are literally
thunder struck, the partizans OF Bonaparte
scarcely less go than those of CaTaignac. A
majority was expected-indeed counted on
With certainty By all-but none expected such
I universal acclaim as that which has burst up
on Paris from every quarter OF the country.
All interest in the Presidential Election as a
contest is over. 1t has ceased 10 be a contest.
The only question now is the amount of the
numerical value Of the whole population, by
whose voices Prince Louis Napoleon will be
proclaimed chief of the State. None of the
calculations are less than four fflhs. and the
journal des Debats, a moderate and impartial
organ, this morning says, that he may probab
ly have six-sevenihs of the whole vote cast
The danger now is that in the " entrainment'
BY which the people is now affected the cry
Of " Vive Empereur," may be seriously rails
ed, and if so The most sagacious would find it
difficult to say what would be the issue.
The vote for Ledru RoIlin and Raspail will
show the strength of the Red Republicans
and Socialists, though we are not of opinion
tina, the strength of that party has been undi-
videdly put forth on the occasion. NJ. Lamar
tine is not likely to poll more than few en-
tausiaStic admirers. The only fact that would
lca! US to suspect the possibility of result ia
vorable 10 Cavagnac is the bitterness with
which the Irish opposed to him 10 continue
their ratings and charges against the General
and his friends Of using undue influence to
control the election by tricks and classifying
the returns.
One charge certainly appears to be founded
on truth, viz: that the government delayed
the mail six hours on Friday night, so as to be
enabled to forward the Moniteur, containing
the speeches of Cavaignac and Duguare in re-
ply to an accusation made against the Govern
meni, of their intention to pension the would
be assassins of Louis Philippe. In the Ma
tional Assembly, nothing of the slightest in
teresi had occurred.
The truth i. in the present state of the
mind Of the Representatives, stunned as they
are with the results of the election, all serious
dclibera'ion is out the question. The Mon
iteur states that the treasury is at present, and
will be at the conclusion Of the year, in more
prosperous condition than had ever been an
ticipated by NJ. Goadchau, the late minister
of France.
PosTsckIPr.-A despatch, dated Paris,
Thursday, 10 P NJ, says:
Up to this date tranquility continues. The
latest election returns show majority in favor
of Prince Louis, over all competitors, of 81
600 Prince Louis proposes to raise Gen.
CavaigHac to the rank of Marshall of France
A partial amnesty is still spoken of as likely
to be presented TO the Chamber, either by
Gen. Cavaignac or the ministry of Prince
Louis; it is understood that it would not in
clude the prisoners Of Vincennes. The in:en-
ton of promoting the election of NJ. DuGaure
to the Presidency of the Chamber, is receiv-
ed, and will probably be carried into effect
Marshall Bugaud made his first appearance
in the Chamber to-day, and was received in
the Sale Desparperdus by NJ. Theirs and
Mole. The proclamation of the President will
be made about the goth inst.
N. Emile De Girardin asked the War De-
partment for his father, Gen. Girardn, and
has been refused. He viii probably he once
more in opposition TO the government. He
also asked the Office of Minister of Finance
for himself. ard as it was impossible to grant
this request, there is already GOODNESS, which
in day or two viii probably lead to an open
rupture. Marshall Bugaud i TO be Command
er-in-Chief Of the ARM of the Alps, but is to
remain for .he present in Paris The new
ministry was formed with the warm approba-
tipn of NJ. NJ. THEIRS, Mole and Marshall Bu-
gaud.
4 well informed Paris paper says, " so far
as We can judge from the incomplete returns
that arrive to rs from the departments, the
sufTrages were divided in the following pro-
portions Louis Napoleon &c per cent; Cav |
aignac 81 per cent Ledru Rollin per cent
Raspail per cent; Lamartine, 8 per cent"
The Commissioners who have been appoint
ed TO examine the votes, will have concluded
their labors on Monday next, and that the Ma !
tional Assembly will, on Wednesday, proclaim /
the President of the Republic; we shall then, /
