Again the political news from France is of but
slight interest. had the pleasure of Witnessing an
animated debate in the Assembly on Saturday last
upon the bill adjourning the elections in the Ma
tional Guard throughout France, until the new or
ganic law, which has been before a committee of
the Assembly for many months, shall be taken up
and passed. These elections (for all officers from
colonel, inclusive, down to the lowest grade) are
made every three years. The last general election
was in April, lS4s, and by virtue Of the unlimited
electoral law, inaugurated by the Provisional Gov
ernment of that period. None Of the Reactionst
parties desire to see the experiment repeated, and
they therefore joined last Saturday in passing the
bill, now the law, adjournng as above minated the
elections, which regularly would be now very near

end quite stormy, drew out incidentally nearly all
the distinguished Republicans of the Assembly !;
Jules Favre Lagrange from the extreme Left, and
Cavaignac, Lamorciere, and Lamarne among the
moderate Republicans These last all gave renewed express
their pubcansm and defined their positions yet
