FRANCE yet appears, politically considered, to be
the great point of interest and attraction. OF all the
political shades into which the National Assembly
is divided. that of Gen. CAvAIGNAc has lattery APP
peared to us to be the most decided; he has at
least the advantage Of stating his opinions and the
policy which he represents with frankness and
precision. Every other party appears to be waiting,
with we-dssembled acquiescence, for the turn up
of events. The General has an absolute and un-
finching faith in the existing Republic. He re-
quires that the first step in the discussion respect-
ing revision or non-revision shall be choice be-
tween Republicanism and Monarchy. He appears
10 US TO be sort Of Republican Absolu!ist, and the
severity with which he maintains his opinions has
caused schism between him and some of the
ablest members Of the Liberal party, such as NM.
BARRoT and De TocoUEvILLE, who have hitherto
acted with the moderate Republicans, but who have
now declared against what they consider General
CAvAIGNAc's rather ultra notions. In theory the
General acknowledges the sovereignty of the peo-
pie, but in practice he appears 10 deny that this
sovereignty extends modification of the form Of govern
ment which they, by their sovereign act have al eady
adopted There is sort of metaphysical impractcabi.y
about Gen. Cs political notions, which WILL fear, tend
very much to impair his utility this important crisis and
France very i'll afford to lose the services Of able and
faithful citizen. The first effect Of Gen. CAvAIesAcs
pose Of his sentiments has been NJ ODrIoS

in favor Of unconditional revision Of the Constitution that is
say Of essential modification Of without predetermined
limits to the ex.en. Of the change be made, its pre-
else nature. He has gone further. He has declared that
the maintenance Of LOUIS NApoLEos power indispensable
to the preservation of society in France from imminent and
utter ruin. The speech Of M. BARRor, made the As
sembly, at apology for the Presidents past
duct and defence Of the hopes Of his friends respecting the
proposed amendment Of the Constitution The past con-
duct Of the President said M. BARRoT afforded no infer
TO bis demeanor in any Office the attributes Of which
should be assigned with prudence and defined with caution"
M BARRoT sees reason why the summoning constitu
assembly should be refused simply because the FIRST de-
cision Of that assembly should be the continuing the Execu
tive power in the hands Of LOUIS NAPOLEON BoNAPARTE
The effect Of NJ BARRoTs decided is already visible
in the report Of the Committee on Revision that "the As
semby article three Of the Constitution and declares that
the Constitution may berevised conformabe to this article"
Ayes 8, T. M. De Tocau has been elected
porter Of the committee by Of eight against five for NJ
