From the London Times Of May 81.

II ia difficult, and perhaps unnecessary, TO
prognosticate the mode in which France will eff
feet her deliverance from the shackles of cons
stitutional formalities, and assert her sover-
eighty and independence by perpetuating that
government which rescued her from the last in.
road Of the revolution. But it is already mani
fest that by one method or by another this re-
suit will be accomplished If the sovereignty
Of the people be proclaimed az the supreme law
Of the State, it is impossible to contend against
the authority Of that principle unequivocalIy ex-
PRESSED. The rage and discomfort which break
forth in the ranks Of the revolutionary party are
caused by their consciousness that they are at
tempting TO array popular passion against the
true will of the people, and that they are them
selves the discarded of the nation.
From every part Of the country petitions are
now beginning to flow in for the revision of the
Constitution, hich are only limited to that Oh
lest in vague terms from respect for the legal
forms Of the assembly. But those petitions
mean almost without exception, and extension
of Louis Nnpoleon's powers. Even in the de-
partments, where the Red party boast Of their
strength, and where it is probable even now that
members returned to the national assembly
would join the Mountain and vote with Mr..
Girsdiu and his pruiege, M. Nndaud the stone
mason, the constituency is firmly devoted to
Louis Napoleon AZ head Of the State, and no
other candidate has chance of the Presidency.
