ly as Prince Louis Napoleon in l646 Those
who can do nothing in Paris or Berlin, are not
likely to DO much in capital where the odds
against them will be just AZ great as far as their
iellow-citizens are concerned, and vastly greater
IN respect OF the population around them. We
foTbear to remark on the useessness OF any pro-
pagandlst attempt at spot whence the impulse
would be wholly incommunicable. M. Ledru
Rollin, we may persume, does not at any rate
aspire to be President of Engl.nd, and so long
as the garrisons of Vncennes and Lyons remain
OF their present way Of thinking, it is hard to
see how his prospects in Paris could be pro-
noted by ten minutes ascendency with mob

after the last war Between 1915 and 1920
from $4,000 to 10000 aliens registered them
selves in England. There were 26,600 even in
1926. These were all political refugees OF the
true old race, aud not twentieth part OF them
could show that they were engaged IN any set

Of Sidmouth and Castereagh of daily sedtions

and riots in Spafieds, of Peterloo meetings and

into fragments Far be ii from US to disparage
the revolutionary daring of Parisians, but they
have never yet encountered constables, whose
daily duty it is to drag frantic Irishmen from
fifth story to the station house. Marshal Bu-

talk about burnings and stormings, revolutions
and republics, is simply ridiculous, aud may be
left to the speculations Of that ingenious press
which lr Golden would persuade us is so far

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.
THE NEW CABINET OF LOUIS NAPOLEON
| Time has not vet been afforded to the public
journals of different parties, to pronounce on
this ministry yet there are already indications
of opposition, not only on the part of the re-
publican papers, which is to be ool1d for as
matter of course, but in the Theirs organs and
in the Assemble Nationaie, which, as the organ
Of the fusionsts, is said to be about to pass, if
it has not passed, into the hand of Messrs. Gni-
zot Duchatel, and Dumon the new allies of the
Marquis de Pastoret, who manages the political
interests Of the Duke dc Bordeaux. The As
senblee says
Who can explain the veritable motives for the
return of NJ. NJ Baroche, Rouher, and Fould,
who had already been so near to upset the coach
| IL such selection prudent at the opening of
crisis which may decide the fate of France We
feel no personal hostility to the honorable names
which form this cabinet; there are even some
among them for whom we feel great esteem and
sincere affection; but we persist nevertheless,
in saying that such combination as this is a
grave error, Of which the consequences will soon
| be apparent The Patrie tells us that these
names will appear in the Monitew.
We vet hope that the President Of the repnb-
lie will not commit so capital fault. There is
not among those persons the name of any one
Of those members of the parliamentary majority
who took part 10 the late discussions between
! the two powers The President has been cir
cumvented, and is &c e'ved. Firmne in the gov
ernment il great quality; but such firuness
should not become headstrong obstnacy. Min
istres of detiascc have cr been fatal to gov
ernments.
| No one can fail to apply the latter observa-
ister of the Interior in whom il is u very gen.
eral opinion that Louis Napoleon has found his
| Pognac. Honest and courageous he is. be-
yond any doubt, aud even his unconeiatory
manners would not be Objectionable, if they did
not fall into an ever ready waspish pugnacious-
ness, which, without gaining friends in any
quarter, has excited the hostility of the left
| benches into downright aversion.
NJ Faucher, too, labors under the stigma of
vote of condemnation of the constituent assem-
bly,, for having turned the telegraph to cleo
tioneering purposes, in way that even his col
leagues in office dared not to defend. Against
that vote of censure from members of the house,
only five protested, and Of that five, NJ. Foucher
and hi- brotherin-law, NJ. Wo.owski, formed
two. Thus, of the new cabinet, three are suf
fering under vote of want of confidence, passed
by the present assembly two months ago, and
one bears the almost unanimous stigma Of the
constituent.
Louis Napoleon should rather have recalled
the old ministry, on the ground of having failed
to induce the leaders of parties to form an ad-
ministration, or he should have persevered in his
efforts to overturn their scruples, while retaining
hi- transiive pininstry Faucher, added to
Baroche, Rouher, and fould, is unpopularity
without, added to hostility within. Two Of the
transitory" cabinet are mantained-General
Random and M Maque--to neither of HON can
there be any Legitimate objection
OF the three other names, that of M Buffet is
the best known, as he has alr ady filled the post
in the Odillon-Barrot administration. NJ Budet
shares the commercial views Of NJ. Faucher,
which are more liberal than those of French
statesmen generally. Bot it is not likely that
the new cabinet will find sufficient ease and
leisure to turn their attention to commercial
subjects Another sort of combat awaits them

THE EMIGRATION TO THE UNITED STATES.
| /, the beginning Of the last Elk, (says
Dnhlin letter of the 9Th inst.,) so great the
influx Of emgran,s at this port that some of the
agent houses advanced the fares for passages

the former rates were restored. Every day the
quays are crowded by farmers, small traders,
and their families. securing passages across the
Atlantic. Generally they appear to be people
in comfortable circumstances, presenting no
