PANS, Thursday, May "a, ls4e.
Messrs. GREELEY & MoELRATH: Let me begin by giving
you the general result of elections fifteen departments
have chosen candidates, all belonging to the socialist
democratic party; thirty eight, candidates exclusively
moderate thirty, candidates of both parties; and from
three, still without returns This gives ~ So
ciasts and 5ll moderaes, though in this CLASSIFICATION
there much that is arbitrary. But the result IN the
departments has astonished every one. The whoe
number of cast at Paris stand for the SOCIALIST
candidates 5000 200; for the moderaes is9 600 IN an
four private soldiers and sub officers are chosen Hence
forth universal suffrage is indesucu6e and he Vo'e OF
the army, especially assures the completion OF the social
revolution. ,
Sergeant Bochot was in prison up the very hour of
his election but Changarnie made haste to release HIM
before the result of the canvass was proclaimed lie

retired to his family Paris where he will await the
opening of the Legislative Assembly.
The last moments of the National Assembly are stormy

| something even to die WELL
The conspiracy of the executive is evident. We have
seen NJ de Falloux and his accompces attempt to par
alyze the deliberations OF the Assembly by advising the
members of the right to abstain from voting, in order to
nvadae every division m the Chamber This stratagem
was nufed by the declaration of the Assembly, that it
would constitute itself permdnence, and declare me
republic in danger, if, by o'clock in the evening, the
ed all the former energy of his character the occasion,
and II was resolved among the republicans TO be ready
for any emergency. A meeting was held that night al
the hotel of the presidency (Nlarrasts) The President
gave the command Gen Charras, and ordered 5000
men TO be at hand for the defence OF the Assembly
sure legion of the national guard was on duty For
tunaely il not necessary to execute the order TO the
army, for it would not have been obeyed
Just the decision of the Assembly with regard TO the
double command of General Changarnier had been
eluded by the transfer of the command of the national
guard to an exchef of his staff, SO IN the present case
the Legislature was trled with The same commander
had presumed issue orders to his subalterns that no

thus rendering nugatoy the perogave OF the President
OF the Assembly to provide directly for its defence.
This new violation of the supreme law has been de,
nounced at the tribunal by Ledru Rolln, and while |
write, is the subject of debate. am lar from being con-
fdent the issue, but yet hope that there will be no
battle and no attempt usurpaton 1t is ceftan that the
people will not take the initiative in attacking the army,
and for that very the schemes OF the President will
fa to the ground General Bedeau, by declaring that
attempt at usurpaon would be madness, stark madness,
and that the army would defend the constitution, has
given advertisement to the ambitious designer which
will not be unavalling.
| We have just had review, and will tell you some
thing about it which you may not find in the newspapers,
Marshall Bugeaud wrote from Lyons that If there were
farther delay, even of few weeks, before acting, he
would for the obedience of the army. Ac-
cordngIy the in high places set instantly about
changing the greater part OF the regiments OF the garrison
of Paris and last Monday the review in question took
place The troops received express orders TO shout ViUe
Napoleon but as turned out, the authors of this
mand received damper by way OF tulhlnent The
socialists generally convinced that Il the shout had
would have caused himself to be proclaimed emperor on
the SPOT, and would have marched to put down the AS
semby. But do not positively affirm that such was
really the desire of unfortunate President The fact
that a body of workmen decoyed into allowing
themselves to be organized, go about and shout p've
fEmpreu piue Napoleon! is beyond doubt but still
it possible that the thing done by the exclusively
Bonapar,st party, which still reckons here few crack
brains The same is the with the plot for Sunday
or Monday next, denounced yesterday by Consdeant,
with regard to whom the fear is entertained lest the in
sung denial of his assertions made by Pierre Bonapare
should become the occasion of duel Al any rate it is
certain that the plan of coup fetat is foresalled and
much of what they had lost in public opinion, on account
OF previous remissness.
The manifesto OF the Emperor Nicholas is the event of
the week. 1t produces here effect evidently favorable
TO the republic and will put an end to the division which
still separates the socialists from the friends of the
sti!uon. or the republicans OF the National The latter
published yesterday manifesto of Cancellation The
order of the day proposed by the representative Jolly
complete declaration of war. It's author, who had no,
been elected had not the weight necessary obtain
favorable vote for his notion The substitute OF Cavagnac
was adopted His conduct in this affair has procured him
the energetic condemnation OF his most faithful friends,
and has separated from him such Bastide,
Marast, and Buchez himself It is possible that Cava-
gnac whose tactics concentration and temporzaon,
is not so much traitor is supposed and that he
serving himself for the first days of the Legislature.
That will be difficult and critical period.
There is plenty OF talk OF mnistry with Bugeaud at
its head is even reported that he has arrived with
most energetic plans which give some satisfaction to
abshed interests, and which Indicate strong measures
both in the way of progress and resistance 1t indub
table that cabinet with Bugeaud for leader would be a
go ahead and break neck concern do not believe,
however, that such cabinet could be formed with any
amount of trying
The connivance of Louis Bonaparte with the old
powers of Europe is plain. The Emperor of Russia has
acknowledged the republic. AT Brussels at London, and
even at Vienna and Olmutz there is nothing but lauda-
tons OF the wisdom of the President In Italy seem
10 be going with the monachs, and they do
not hesitate to brag of it. But France will support
such treason; and if she did, the European movement
would defeat it, If the contrary should happen what
load of culpability would rest upon us, and what bad
fruits we should have to reckon up pro-
ceeding from the and selfish policy of the last
eighteen years
The republic is proclaimed in Hungary Bologna has
been taken and sacked The Russians still advance upon
Europe although said that 30 900 of them have SUI
rendered The report to-day is that 10000 Prussans are
advancing on the Duchy of Baden. But the German
movement is far from being suppressed. The Badans,
united with the Bavaans of the Palanac and the Hes
slams, marching Frankfort with the intention of
proclamng the republic and of conducting the National
Assembly to the fortress of Rastadt The German repub
leans dispose OF an armed force of 100, 900 men.
In the midst of events like these, France refuses the
usual subsidies to the Polish exes, for the frs, time
since 1890. and orbids their embarkation for Italy They
are shut up in our southern provinces.
have thus given you briefly, the leading points OF in
terest which now appear persist in the belief of a
thorough alteration in policy, and that within short
tme--whether by peaceful revolutionary MEANS God
only knows.
