would never lend itself to the act Of inflicting
on France government Of force, This was
not the era Of the Cmssrs, when one emperor
was opposed to-day and another raised to-mor-
row--raised to the purple BY drunken prntorian
soldiers. The army was too firm to allow 1t
ever to march against the Assembly. Not u
battalion for conspiracy could be found to
obey chief if he gave such an order. There
fore, representatives, you may deliberate in
peace"
The blow has now been struck by the Presi-
dent against the Assembly, and a courageous
general vouches for the loyalty OF the army to
that body, and second general (Cavaignac) is
ready to draw the sword to support General
Changarnier, If necessary.
The socialist party are Ia raptures with Gen.
Changarnier's speech, whilst the organs of the
Elysee strive to undervaIue its Importance
Whilst Changarnier and Cavagnac remain firm,
Louis Napoleon can never succeed in over
throwing the Republic, to make himself EN-
peror.
PARIS, Thursday evenng---It is stated that
the friends of Louis Napoleon have determined
upon printing his speech at Dion, thinking that
the official modification has injured him in the
public opinion.
At the opening Of the Museum Of the Louvre
the President made speech but did not touch
upon politics. He addressed some compliment
airy remarks to Leon Faucher, which serve to
show that the report of the probable resignation
Of ministers is untrue.
The Globe Paris correspondent states that in
consequence of the news from Portugal, the
French Ambassador at Lisbon had to give a
cordial support to the English Ambassador for
the protection Of the person of the Queen.

Atlantic suhmarine relexraph.

The London Athen@am has the following re-
 marks on this project:
 There seems nothing really impractcable in such an undertaking. We have been assured that the same two gentlemen who first suggested and com
 menced ,hls enterprise have expressed to some of our eminent engineers and capitalists their convc
 ton of the feasibility of establishing slngle line of commu unication stween ibiS country and Amer ica, for less sum than was paid for making a single mile Of ihe expensise portion of the great
 western railway IL was proposed m this instance
 to have only single wire covered wIth gutta pei cha similar to that used last year 10 prove the
 praccabili;y of passing electric current across lhe channel from England to France-to which 1t
 was proposed to add additional protection or hempen plat--the hemp having been passed through
 a chemical sol uoa, to rendef t indestructIb!e m salt water. Such line, 1t sad, of gut percha and prepared hemp, would, although only
 about three quarters of inch in diameter, be ot
 nearly double the strength of the experimental line lad down between England and France, in strong sea and running tide. The proposition was, first to extend il to Ireand-thence to the southwest coast the nearest pont for the American continent,
 and where the bold rocky cosst oilers depths tAat
 secures its safety from anchors-and thence 10 the nearest point on the American coast, considerably under ,, 600 miles. Choosing the months ot Snm-
 mer, and an experienced Amenean aud English captain accustomed to the track, such line, Il
 was aYsrred, might with very simple machinery,
 be paid out night and day with perfect safety, at the ordinary speed of the steamer. The vast im- poriance Of such object IS not to be weighed against sum of q 00, 900, which. we assared.
 would more than accomplish 1t, if single wire only were employed Tue successful completion of one line would of 0ourse. be speedily followed
 by that of others Fms once accomplished, the extension of the line across the Amerean continent
 to the Pacific would follow certainly, and we should have the ss.ourding fact Of colnmnn'ca-
 ton from the shores oi the Pacific. crossing Amer
 lea aud the Atlantic, and touching our shores Tn an instant of tune.

rAs cnhan Correspondence.

The Washington correspondent of the New York any where else the nature of the address from the French government on the Cuba question, which drew forth the much talked of reply fMr. Cntten- den. The letter says:
 ''I hate been waiting two or three days in the hope of obtaining the precise tone and bearing of the correspondence with France with reference to Cuban affairs. France, il seems, IS the Ma5aus Apollo of hs interference in behalf of Spain, while
 England follows at very respectable dlstance.- The French government has not coined itself to legitimate and respectful remoustrance with refer snce to any supposed danger 1t might have appre- hended with regard 10 the possession ot Its ally, but has proceeded 10 throw out nSinuailonS > not nore) ealing Tn question he integrity and good

So much for Englsnds friendship for this great cham pion of liberty. She prefers the despotism of Aus tria to the cause of Kossuth!

Mississippi Election.

The returns from all but five counties have been received, and they probably have gone, three for Bavs and two for Foo,e. They are small however. and will not vary the result more than one hundred votes. Foote's majority over Davis will be something over thousand.
 This result was not unexpected, but on the contrary the greatly reduced majori,ies by which the submission whigs have succeeded in this elec- tion is very gratifying.
 In the Congressional election three submission members have been elected, and one democrat the Hon. A. c. Brown.
 By the defeat of Davis and Jake Thompson, Mississippi has lost two able, talented. and patri. otic public servants. Hoa. Jake Thompson has been member of the House of Representatives some fourteen years. and more vigiiant or efieen. guardian of the public treasure never sat on the hocr Of the House. He is one Of the most promi- nent men in the democratic party. and has long been looked 10 ss the leader in the House-we truly regret the defeat of Jake Thompson.
