efforts made by the tyranical rulers OF
those countries, are still alive and
cherished by the people. The result
'of the French elections have SO signif-
cant a character that Louis Napoleon
has become frightened. In Paris,
especially, although the republican
party was divided, one faction asking
the people to go to the polls, and the
ether prefering the system Of Austen
zion, and where all the ga%rrisons had
been crowded with soldiers and all
means used by the government in order
to secure the suffrages of the masses,
in Paris, where the freedom of vote is
crushed in a thousand ways the result
has surpassed the expectations of the
republicans and the worst fears of the
government. Out of $50, 900 electors
registered in Paris $4,000 abstained
from voting, ard it is known and ac-
knowledged that those 143, 900 Austen
tons are composed of legitimists and
red republicans. On $4,000 votes
cast, the candidates of the government
obtained 110, and those of the
opposition $4,000. Five government
candidates and FIVE republicans we're
elected. From the above figures
stands out the great fact hat the
government, with all its boosted popu-
larity can only muster one-third of the
votes of Paris, which number is CON
posed principally of ofice-holders and
soldiers, of people who get their daily
bread from the government and are
thus compelled to ignore principles
for a pure question of interest. In
all the principal towns of France,
where the republican party have an
organization the result has been the
same as in Paris. If, to these
facts, we add the discovery of
another conspiracy against the life
of the emperor organized by Italians
who, at the. time of their arrest
we're found with poignards, the points
of which had been stepped in a
deadly poison; revolutionary move
ments in Spain and in Italy, tokens Of
dissatisfaction all over the continent,
we will come to the conclusion that it
is not without good reasons that the
emperor of France and the king of
Naples tremble for their life, and that
all Europe is on the eve of a ~revolu-
ton.
The mutinies in the native Rindos-
tan army have created quite an alarm
in England and the government has
ordered the departure of $4,000 men
for India. We find the following par
ticulars in a correspondence to the
IN. Y. Times:
"The massacre at Meerut occurred
on Sunday, the 10th inst. On Satur.
day, the 9th, there was a brigade parade
at the station, and IS men Of the
E Third Native Cavalry, who had refused
to load and fire the new cartridges
were ironed on the parade ground, il

marched to jail and locked up. The
officers on the station had, up to thil
, time, entertained no suspicion of az
l open revolt. But on Sunday evening
the 10th inst, the Third Cavalry rushed
: from their lines armed and furious, fol
lowed by the Goth Native Infantry
who fred their muskets, and called
5 upon the 18th Native Infantryto come
and join them. They immediatel1
answered by rushing out from thei
lines fully armed. The English officers
