France.
All France is on the tiptoe of expectation, wait
ing for the report of M. De Tocquevills on the
vision of the constitution This important docu,
ment is hourly expected TO be made public, and
the debate in the Assembly will probably COM
msnce on the l4th instant.
The following is the speech Of the President at
Poitiers, at the railroad celebration. The Mayor
proposed the following toast I" To the President of
the Republic--to the glory and prosperity Of the
Republic" Tho President then said:
''MoNsIEuR LIE MAIZE Be my interpreter with
your fellow citizens for Their reception, attentive
and cordial. Like yourself regard the future OF
the country without fear, fur its salvation will
come always from the will Of the people, freely ex-
ingly, invoke with all my wishes the solemn mo-
ment when the powerful voice of the nation will
prevail over all opposition and reconcile all rival
riss. (Choers.1 For it ia deplorable to behold
revolutions shake society, accumulate heaps of ru-
ms and still leave standing the same passions, the
same exigencies, the came elements OF disturb-
ance. [Cheers.l
.sWhen one passes through France, and when
one beholds the varied riches Of her SOIL the mar
vellous products Of her industry; when one adj
mires her rivers, her roads, her canals, her rail-
ways, her ports, washed by two seas, one asks
ttarr,
a durable tranquility permitted her Inhabitants to
concur with oil their means in the general good,
instead of giving themselves up 10 intestine dis
sensions. When, under another point OF view,
one contcmplates that territorial unity which has
been bequeathed to by the pcrscverng efforts OF
royalty, that POLITICAL judicial, and administrative
and commercial union which has been bequeathed
Aeus by the revolution; when one contemplate
that intelligent and aborious population animated
nearly wholly by tho same belief, speaking tho
same language; that venerable clergy, which
teaches morality and virtue; that upright mag1s.
tracy, which makes justice respected; that valiant
and disciplined army, that knows only honor and
duty, [cheers;] finally, when one comes to appre-
cinte that crowd of eminent men capable OF guiding
the government, OF illustrating the assemblies, as
we'll as the sciences and arts, one asks with anx-
iety what the causes which prevent this nation,
already 30 great, from becoming still greater; and
one is astonished that society, which contains so
many elements of power and prosperity, should
expose itself 30 often to ruin.
els it then true, as the emperor said that the old
world is come to an end, and the new one not yet
firmly settleds Without knowing the future, let
us do our duty to-day in preparing for it solid
foundations. [Cheers1 1t is gratifying to me to
address these words to you in province renowned
ut all epochs for its patriotism. Let US not forget
that your city was, under Charles VII, the focus
of heroic resistance; that it during fourteen
years the refuge of the nationality in France when
invaded. IChecrs.] Let us hope that it will be
more one OF the irst to set the example OF de-
yotion to civilization and to the country. give
toast. ITO the city OF POitiers.'o

An important decision has been pronounced in
the constitutional question between the ministry
of the Electorate and the rccusant officers and civil
officials. The permanent committee of the Cham
Der, after the process against it commenced,
referred all the points in dispute to the urisc fac
ulty of the University of Gottingen. That learned
body has just pronounced Its decision. 1t declares
that the legal right is the side of the govern
ment, as, according to the 95th article of the con-
stitution, it not bound to procure the consent
of the permanent committee of the Chamber to the
publication of the decree of September, 1850, re-
spoctins the continued levy of taxes, SC. This

conflict In the Electorate turned. The officials,
therefore, who refused to carry out the decree adj
Enthusiastically. and the officers of the army who
prospcctively refused to support the government
in case the support Of the armed force
qnircd, are declared by one of the highest legal
authorities to have been in the wrong. The COM
anittee of the Chamber has also referred it's case
to the legal faculty of the University of Heidelberg,
and it is stated its decision will entirely coincide
with that of the faculty of Gottingen, and establish
the question OF right more strongly on the
part Of the government.
