a splendid passage.
FRANCE.-The elections passed of quietly.
The voting continued in the Names until 8
PM Saturday More THAI 100000 electors
voted The result was not known, but there
is no doubt of Louis Napeleon's election. 1t
was announced that addresses of sympathy
for the President had been presented from
1l5 places in Ss different departments. The
votes of the Army and Navy are published
and show large majority for Louis Napoleon.
In Paris the election passed off with perfect
quiet, and the government has received no
telegraphs announcing that the people were
voting with the greatest eagerness.
The new Constitution to be granted by the
President as follows:
A Senate of 80 members, Al to be named
BY the President and 80 by :he Counsels
General from list of candidates laid out by
the President
A Legislative Chamber of $50. Each COM
mune is to name an elector by universal suf-
frage, the number Of these electors to be &c.
0oe. They are then to name 500 represen-
Satiyes from these. The President will then
select ESQ, who are TO form the Chamber.
The President to be elected for ten years
with the title of Regent of the Republic
lie shall be responsible, unless the electors
shall three times return body of representa-
tives out of whom the President shall be un-
4 able to select chamber in his favor. If they
refuse the Budget he is to retire.
The Press to be free, but not TO call in ques
tion, the Religion. Rights Of Property, or ex-
isting social organization.
Il appears to be, very generally believed,
that the Government would rejoice at every
fresh act of inceudiarism and would make the
most Of il that it may obtain the liberation OF
the middle classes
Several statements have appeared with the
proof that the fighting was instigated by the
police.
The Government was alarmed at the cold
ness Of the population and hearty cries Of Uire
Ia Republic and felt that without an eraesite to
terrify the citizens and excite the soldiery, its
success was doubtful
Every day shows that the large majority OF
persons killed, we're iaoffensive busnes men,
or their wives and children, The amount
slaughtered win of coucse never be ascertain
ed; butt is much larger than at first suppos-
ed. The lowest estimates are 600; others
reach 20oo
All active resistance has been crushed in
the Provinces There are signs that nothing
but the most severe oppression is considered
equal to secure the safety of the usurpation.
The Paris correspondent of the London
Times announces that soon after coup de et0t
OF December I'd. the English Government
presented note to Louis Napoleon, of an en-
ergetic character, demanding if he intended to
abandon the liberal and constitutional policy,
which had previously formed the bond of al
lance between the Governments. The reply
of the President was not deemed satisfactory,
and a non official letter was subsequently sent
TO the reply. which was also unsatisfactory,
but stated shat person should be sent to con-
fer with Lord Palmerston. The party how
ever declined the mission on the ground oi
being unable to afford the assistance required
The London Times also states the re-elec-
ton Of Napoleon. With his despotic powers. are
almost equally unsatisfactory. inasmuch as
Austria and Russia, although pleas ed with the
steps taken By the French Dictator, and will
ing to support him can only look upon his
power as Of provisional character and Louis
Napoleon merely stOpgap until legitimacy is
restored
