NATIONAL INTELLIGENCER.
FROM OUR Paris CORRESPONDENT.
PARIS, NOVEMBER 10, 1851.

We have had a very animated week in French
politics. On Thursday the questors Of the Assem-
bly, at the suggestion, is pretty well ascertaned,
of MN. MOLE, THEIRS, and CHANGARNIER, intro
duced bill showing on the part of the majority
marked hostility and diNrust toward the President
of the Republic. The first clause declared the
constitutional right Of the Assembly to determine
the military force designated for its protection and
to nominate its military commander. Il declared
also the right Of the President of the Assembly to
apply directly to all military officers, and to all CT
vii functonaries, whose cooperation in defence of
the Assembly he might desire. The second gave
the President the right Of delegatng his powers to
one of the questors The third required the law
to be inserted in the order of the day of the army,
and to be posted up in all the barracks of the Re-
public This bill took every body by surprise !;
for certainly nothing indicated on the part Of M.
BoNAPARTE the slightest intention to do immediate
violence TO the Assembly, in imitation Of an I5
brumaire. The most plausible Interpretation of it
is that majority in the Assembly wished TO pro-
woke M. BoNAPARTE to some openly hostile act
that would give the Assembly legal hold on him.
But the President has received the provocat0n
with the mastery impassibility of which he has
given repeated evidence Urgency requested for the b
it into committee; the report and discussion
daily expected but already the majority give signs of
No believes the danger Of executive violence be
imminent present The most important fraction Of the
msjoriy have, parliamentary clab, declared against it.
The majority of the Democrats would vote against IT,
The reaconist press petends wonder that such
ado should have been made about simple Of
mere Formally, which its promoters all meant should
have aggressive character II seems, fact pretty
tain that the bill will be withdrawn, or, pushed vote,
that will be rejected In either the position of M.
BoxArAnTE will be strengthened.
e. A.
stoation Of universal suffrage, has yet
and every thing present foebodes that the action Of the
Assembly will be Of the decidedly hostile character that
have all along indicated There yet sign Of finch
ing upon either side The committee Of fifteen which M.
BonArAnrEs bill been referred will report thirteen
two in favor of rejection The ia the bureaus for the
nomination this committee gives the of opposition
in the Assembly, $50 for rejection 269 for acceptance Of the
bill restoring universal suffrage. The report by the above
msjoriiy will recommend simply the rejection Of the BILL
fusng accept with amendments, making husth
vehicle Of such notifications they willing apply
the electoral law of 3ls May. These notifications af
fectng the principle of the law curang the years
residence now required but simply giving additional facilities
the proof Of that residence will be made hereafter in the
majoritys good time, matter of BILL Of which the
ority will take the initiative But of thing certain
that no modification Of the electoral law which the majority
may consent will he accepted satisfactory by the Rspub
cans for such modification WA far short Of the universal
suffrage instituted by the constitution. The refusal
cerey restore universal suffrage will make the instruction Of
the Democrats imminent for next spring. II the instruction
be successful shall have the Red Republic upon with
all its errors and horrors crushed in its ncpien or sub
sequen sager which only be effected by the union of
all the reac,ons parties, M BosAPARrE will find himself
pushed by the very majority in the Assembly which is
showing itself hostile very TO the contamination Of
his ambition Many believe in purpose Of the majority to
provoke The President act which may be made the
ground Of his impeachment This will give the unscrupu
ous Assembly the opportunity Of establishing military die
atorship in The hands Of Gen. CHAssARsIER This Monk
of France would then Of the late dynasies but
which, This project is Of such doubtful denoucmen and
so likely to bring about fghu melee Of all parties, end
ing in anarchy its execution would be difficult, its best
result SO certain establish nothing upon firm basis, that
the imd and prudent civilians who have conceived the pro-
jcct will long abandon for practicable and
promising mode Of beating back the advancing ranks Of de-
mocracy In justice NJ BosArARrE, whose intentions all
are 30 ready presume be little respectful to the consu
,iop let me cite the concluding passage Of bis address yes
terday Sunday the corps Of officers Of the newyaved
regiments, who formally presented at the Ey.ee by
Gen MAexAs commanderin-chef of the army Of Paris In
alIusion to the difficult emergencies which the army had
passed through, and to those possibly still in reserve M
BoHAPARrE raid
trust that these trials will return but if the ga-
vty of should bring them back and force appeal
to your DEVOTION that devotion, certain, would fail
me- BECAUSE you well know, would ask of you nothing
but what consistent with my right recognised by the
stituon with military honor and with the interests Of
country have placed head who have
nv entire confidence and who merit yours BECAUSE if
the day Of danger should come, would the Gov
ernmens preceding have acted would not soy 10 you
March ] following you, but would say to you, Il
march follow me 2
We have above the first assurance M. BoSAPARrE has
deened for long time give that be sought nothing but
his right recognised by the constitution The last
tence is not so clear If not little piece Of innocent bra
vado--if has any signi6caon- means something of
doubtful c,nsu,ionaty in view Of article fifty, which pre-
scribes as follows she the Presidency dsposes Of the
armed force without being able to command it in per-
son." This is not the first intimaton NJ. BoSArARrE has
given that what may, he will not like LOUIS PHrLIrrx,
Jump cab and fy from the but he will stop and
dare the worst. Nous rerrons.
An election has ordered Paris for the 3Oh instant
to choose 10 the Assembly 6 the vacancy
caused by the resignation Of Gen. MAeSAs-
caucus has just been held Of the Republican deputies Of
all shades which, contrary to bis custom, Gen. CAvAe-
MAC present In view Of the executive project for the
repeal Of the Law Of 3is May, resolved that, though
equally dsusfu Of NJ. BosArARrE and Of the majority in
the Assembly they would STILL under actual circumstances,
support the ministerial bill for the restoration Of universal
susse but they would accept short Of that moiifca
ton of the law Of force.
