UNCONDITIONAL LIBERATION OF GEN.
CAVAlGNAC-QUALIFIED LIBERATION OF
THE OTHER DISQUALIFICATION OF
LOUIS NAPOLEON TO THE PRESIDENCY,
&c.
Louis Napoleon seems determined to leave no eff
fort untred to ensure He has lately amongst
other gracious acts, distributed large number of
Crosses of the Legion of Honour.
Gen. Cavaignac has been berated Internationally,
and was about leaving France for Holland. The
other Generals confined at the fortress OF Hahn nd
other prisons, were 10 be released upon agreeing to
become voluntary exies.
M. Victor Hugo at Brussels
The partisans of Louis Napoleon were getting up
strong feeling in his favour, and using every ex-
ertion to induce all parties cast their votes for him,
From present indications, his majority will exceed that
cast for him in IS4s. The garrison of Melse, how
ever, has voted against him; all the students IN the
Polytechnic School, including the young Prince de
Poignac, also opposed his election in a body.
The President (Louis N apoleon) he'd levee on
the eth Dec. which was attended by all the corps
dip,omat1que, il we exceptthe American Minister (Mr
Rives, who was not present.
The President takes an active part in drawing up
the new Constitution; the Consultative Commissioners
however, have disagreed upon every important point
in the new governmental instrumen.
NJ. de Grache, son the Due de Grammont, has
been appointed Minister to the principally of Hesse
Ca:sel
The Department of Police has been raised TO the
rank Of The Ministry.
Gen Cayagnac, according to the latest accounts, re-
fuses to accept the Executive cemency, uness some
favour is extended TO his fellow prisoners.

The Paris correspondent of the New York Com
mereia conradiets the statement which appears in the
French semi official papers, TO the effect that call the
diplomatic corps appeared at the Presidents levee on
ted him his success" and says this is incorrect so
far the representative of the United States is con-
cerned, hewas not at that levee, nor has he yet
formally recognized the present Government
The appearance of Lord Normandy, the English
minister, at this evee, is regarded significant Of the
intention OF the British Cabinet to recognize the rule
OF Lons Napoleon, inasmuch as it is not likely he
would have presented himself such an occasion
without the positive instructions OF his government
which he has the power of hourly consulting by
means of the sub marine telegraph.

beyond the narrow bounds Of their country
and rose into Offices Of trust and impor.
tsnce, in all the nations of the world
There were no societies for the diffusion of
useful knowledge in those days. But
the Sabbath was kept holy; it was day
OF which every dissipating frivolity was
excluded by a stern sense of duty. The
popular mind, with weight impaired to
it by the pulpit addresses of the day,
eSpatiated on matters Of grave import, of
which the tendency was to concentrate
and strengthen, not scatter and week
en,the faculties; and cogitations of the weak
came to bear in consequence Sabbath
day stamp of depth and solidity. The
one in the seven struck the tone for the
other sin, Our modern apostles of pop
ular instruction rear up no such men
among the masses as were developed
under the Sabbatarian system in Scotland
Their aptest pupils prove but the loqua
cious gabblers of the respective worships
shallow superfcialsts, that bear on the
surface Of their minds thin diffusion of
aforementioned facts and crude theories
and scarcely, indeed, do we see them
rising in the scale Of society; they become
Socialists by hundreds, and Chartists by
thousands, and get no higher. The dis,
seminator Of more useful knowledge takes
aim at the popular ignorance; but his in.
apt and scientific gunnery does not include
in its calculations the parabolic course OF
mans spiritual nature; and so, aiming di
rect at the mark, he aims too low, and the
charge falls short.
