The excitement Of the elections is over, and from
the lists which have boon published in the newspa-
pers, it may be that, with few exceptions, all
the members of the "Puppet Show Assembly are
favorable to the government, and viii devote their
time and speeches to the wishes Of Louis Napoleon
In the departments the number ofvoting individuals
has been small that the candidates have scarcely
obtained the necessary majority. There SO many
persons who have not attended the polls, that it
may be inferred there was strong passive opposition
to these mock elections The legitimist party hasbut
two nominations among the members Of the Assembly
M. dc Kerdrid and Bouhicr de l'Eclase; and the
ciasts "a "buried" party have g one of them
M. Henou--whose canddature was very violently
fought for by Messrs. Revere and Jules Favre.
These elections are victory for the President,
and. far be judged, tho chances are in his
favor All those who dispassionatcly consider the
present position of France, have agreed that
/ in political darkness without any issue We shall
kave to wait till the 18th inst the day appointed
by Louis Napoleon for the opening of tho Assembly
and of the Senate, to the end of this peculiar
position. we shall then how the constitution
of 1852 will work; and from that moment Louis
Napoleon will be compelled to surrender a portion
OF his powers to the two bodies of the government.
The President has reserved to himself the initiative
of laws; but the Senate, by the Both article of the
constitution, will lie enabled to lay down the basis
OF many great national projects; and, by the 39th
section, the Assembly viii vote the project of these
laws. and also the taxes. The Assembly and the
Senate arc associated with the Presidential rcspcn-
sibility, and we hope that this politicsl machine
will work with energy

constituted, will take the title Of D7aafon an Corps

The fusion Of the Two branches of tho Bourbon
iany is st on the ta1is, and is the cause of much
talk among The politicians. Ii is stated that this
affair is entirely settled. The Duke Of Montpenser
