THE ELECTIONS AND HEIR PROBABLE RESULTS.
The elections have esulted just as | expected.
Nearly all the candidates of the Government
have been elected without opposition. speak
too strongly, howew the opposition was in
fact very great butt kept silent, because ST.
lence was enforced uon it by the oppression of
the Government.
It is also to be remrked that the Government
has been obliged to hing forward several candi-
dates who are by nomeans devoted to its well
fare. for some are bgitimists and others are
| Orleanists. Still the reat majority is composed
| of servile creatures the powers that be, and
| the Government jourals are proclaiming its trl-
umph in every strainn which it is possible for
men to write who aredevoid alike of feeling or
\ character. But it is esy to cnange this triumph
| into defeat if we tae into consideration the
number of electors tho silently opposed the
| Government by not wing at all Inc ProUn-
ees were delivered upaltogether to the tyranny
Of the local authorizes, and although still be-
meath the reign of terror that has prevailed In
their midst since the oup d Etat the electors alb
Il stained in a great masure from recording their
4 votes while many vted under the impulse OF
| fear in favor of the Government candidates,
afraid otherwise of eisg prosecuted as ansr-
ch sts or this is the Nppellation now given to
those who prefer libertyto despotism
The elections have roved in an irrefutabe
manner that the majoriy of the electors disap-
/ prove of the goveTnmentLous Napoleon has giy-
| en- to France, for the number of votes expressed
| in favor of the Government candidates, hardly
amount to one third ofthose who comprise the
l elective body, consequently those who voted
| negatively added to hose who abstained from
voting altogether, givean immense majority to
| the disafected.
If the Dictator be MT altogether blinded by
ambition, this result issuf6ciently significant to
cause him to reflect SO ously on his future course
| of conduct. Several ondidates of the Govern
ment not having OBJ apd the msjorities required
by the law will have t undergo fresh ScrlCtiTs,
on Sunday next, and among Others the electors
of the 4th circumscripton at Paris i'll have to
pronounce de6nitively between M. Carnot (te-
publican candidate) aid M. Moreau Candidate
| of the Goverument). 1t is almost certain that
the former will be elsded, and that will give us
two Republicans for the capital. 1t is very
doubtful, however whether the Liberty party
will consent to take the oath of allegiance to
him who violated the onstitution of 1913, after
having sworn in the face of God and man, tc
preserve it inviolate, and it is positively said
that General Cavaignac will refuse his election
sooner than swear to support the chief OF the
coup Etat in his tyranny. We shall soon know
the truth at any rate, for on the 29t1 of the
present month the Senate and the Legislature
will commence their session so as to relieve II
some slight degree the labors of the Dictator
who has hitherto governed us by DEGREES issueC
under his own hand, and so numerous that hal
of them escape our memory.
We have been expecting decree authorizing
the clergy to cOntrol the education of youth il
| our Colleges aad other places of education, de
pr,ving the University of France Of this hithert'
recognized privilege but It Is now said tina
| Louis Napoleon shrinks from this grave meas
ure whrch cannot failto accelerate that Reaction
! Of public opinion against tho Dictator, which l
already so plainly manifested.
According to the constitution be has provids'
for France, Louis Napoleon has the right to ap
point the President of the Senate and Of tn
Legislative Chamber The former has bee
appointed, it is well known, for several weeks
aad has been chosen from the superior ranks 0
the army, and il was thought the latter woul
be chosen from among the intimates of the Pres
idenS The names OF M. M. de Morney and d
Montalembert, were mentioned, in connection
| with this subject but neither of tbem have bee
appointed The seat has been given to M Bl
lault, formerly Deputy under Louis Philippe
and who now is counted in the ranks of the OF
position This choice has astOnished everybody
for it appears as if it were Indicative Of a retur
1 to policy which is much more conformable
the wants of the age.
It is said that Louis Napoleon and the Mini
ter Of War do not agree together very harmon
ously, and there are many things that give m
good reason to believe Madame Rumor to be i
this instance correct. Certain it is, that tn
Prince Presidents much disquieted in mind, an
that the state Of bis health az times is such as

THE FRENCH AMBASSADOR.
The great event of the day ia the sudden II
turn from LONDON To Paris Of our Ambassadc
and his lady. 1t is said that this movement hs
no political mes ning--that it is merely privat
matter; but we all know that we must ofte
read diplomatic Language backwards, and see
for the truth in the contrary to that which
avowed. l do not know, however, that we sba
have any war with England; but do thin
that this trip of our Ambassador has somethin
to do with the difficulties which exist at this me
ment between Louis Napoleon and the Govern
ment of the Swiss ConfedeIa alton. The Prime
demands that be shall be allowed to act as
pleases as regards the French refugees in tn
little Republic, and the Swiss Government ma
urally objects 10 this bsrbarous and insultin
pretension. England approve Of the conduct {
Switzerland, and Russia, il Is said objects to th
armed intervention to which France, Aus ri
and Prussia would have recourse, according
their tyraunicsl system of government, to to
inmate the difficulty l co not think This diff
Guilty will lead to general or even partial We
nevertheless, as measure of preoaution, II
Swiss Government has recalled number of SWi
officers who were lately in Paris.
TRANSPORTATION OF POLITICAL PRISONERS.
A convoy Of 496 political prisoners left Par
yesterday. They will be two days in conveyir
these unfortunate creatures to Havre, when
tn will be shipped off into exie-some to G
