FROM OUR Paris CORRESPONDENT

| PARIS, APRIL 25, 1850.
The only event Of interest in French politics,
| which have to communicate this week, is the vote
which emasculated the deportation bill. By vote
of 365 against 30l, the Legislative Assembly has
decided that deportation shall not be applied 10 per-
sons actually under sentence of deportation, but
confined, for want of place designated by law, in
state-prsons within the limits Of France. This
vote Is interesting on many accounts. 1t shows
how completely unreliable, for all the purposes of
efficient government, is the actual majority of the
Assembly. 1t shows Of what Earring elements if is
| composed how irreconcably hostile to each other
and to the Executive. One can hardly avoid des.
pairing for France at the contemplation. The vote
not dictated by respect for that great saving principle
which should lie at the base of all penal
ty Vatimesnl one Of the soundest lawyers of France
proved 10 demonstration that that principle would be
lated by transporting to the Maquesas the prisoners of Dou
lens and both be and Odn Barot argued that its applca
bily judicial question: be decided by the courts as
cases might arise and MT by the Legislative Assembly Bar
rot however, OF opinion that the would and
should decide that deportation having been for many
years nominal pain executed by imprisonment in
France there would be virtual re,roacton in its application
any already condemned it. The real of
the vote is found in the rivalry that exists between the two
powers of the Republic, the Legislative and the Executive
and in the antpa,hy Of individual members, Legmist and
Oeahs to the Bonaparst party represented by Louis Ma
poleon ... st."
The deportation law has yet undergo the ordeal of the
third reading trust that this important vote will be
dered and that the silence Of the law, as ultimately
passed, will leave the judicial tribunals determine whom
its penalties shall strike Otherwise it may very well turn
out, the Monagnards already say, hat the criminals
who will first go eat cocoanus in Noukahva be
acty the persons is generally supposed shall think this
reconsideration net improbable if the Socialists triumph next

would well dispose the majority adopt any putting
