Attention is chiefly directed towards the forth
coming election, when Louis Napoleon WILL without
doubt, be elected, though not without considerable
opposition.
The result Of the election would not be known be-

Gen. Cavagnac had been offered his liberty, and
refused to leave his prison unless his fellow prison
could do the same; SO he remains. The severe
restrictions which the prisoners at first suffered have
been relaxed. They now dine and exercise to-

1t is fully believed that Russia, Austria and Prus-
STA straining every nerve to sustain Louis Ma.
poleon in his usurpation.
The following review and comments on the
French affairs is from the Liverpool European
Times OF the 10Th ut
The occurrences in France succeed each other
with such frghtiul rapidty that il is almost impos-
sible to crowd into ordinary space, brief
summary of what is going on in that devoted
try. Scarcely day has passed but several depart
ments have been declared in state of seige. In
the centre of France in the departments east west
north and south,a reign OF terror has been establish
ed, and it is evident, from the facts which fill
tered through the corrupt journals Of the yrant that
wide spread resistance against his despotism pre-
walls in every quarter which is only checked by the
fear of popular anarchy, and the too ready bayonets
of the military dictator.
We have now learned from authentic sources
that the slaughter of the Partisan populace on the
Boulevards, and in the northeastern quarters of
Paris, when the brief struggle took place, was
perpetrated by the brutal soIdiery with a wanlon
ferocity, which reminds US of the massacre Of
st. Bartholomew. No troops, still less the French,
would have dared to commit such acts of butch
cry unless they had been sure of approval from
their superior officers. They who resisted and
they who did not resist were cut down remorse-
lessly, without distinction of age, or nation !;
even Americans suffered in the melee
Gagged as the Press is in France. it is alto
geher impossible to state the extent of the loss of
life, still less of personal liberty which the French
people have had to endure The usurper issues
MS quasi imperial DEGREES from the ruilleries as
az ms arbitrary disnosa
ments the Louvre, which successive sovef-
stroke of the pen. The workmen are to be en-
ployed at the cost of the country, but to propiti
ate the Saints they are not to labor on Sunday.
Nj NsoAalebert, the Jesuit, asks the people 10
| vote for NJ. Bonaparte, as his usurpation is not
| contrary to the law of God or the fundamental
| principles Of society.
The Fourier legitimist Bishop of Chatres ech-
oesthe same principles. Vallient, who is declar-
ed % be the real conquerer at Rome, is created
French Marshal. In one word, the adulturous
alliance between open despolsm and ultra reig-
ions intolerance is complete.
The suppression Of the ''SeicIe'' newspaper
ma, opened the eyes of the people. The threats
| he'd out to the moderate s'JournaI des De-
| basH that they must adhere or abdicate, and the
compulsory process by which articles written at
the IuillerieS forced into the columns Of re-
fraslpry journals, are beginning to produce their
necessary consequences.
The suppression of two or three Legons ofthe
| National Guard is also ominous Of future mis-
CHEF but perhaps, above all, the certainty which
n'y gains ground, that the despotic potentates of
Aasrla, Russia, and Prussia, are straining every
| isrve to uphold Bonaparte.
| Amidst the terror and tranquility which the
| g9ernment journals proclaim, the public funds
! h9e still been maintained at an extraordinary
| height, and one doubts that the money or the
! cRdlt obtained Of the Bank of France has been
| employed for this purpose
| decree is issued providing for collecting tax
| 81 but all the produce of the gold mines in the
inverse will not suffice to maintain Bonaparte.
