Finis coropat opus. The overwhelming sue
cess OF the appeal to the people has justified
the provisions of the Emperor. Aftera twelve
month of lnvectives the various shades Of his
Malestys opposition have only been able to
muster one and half millions of notes.-the
supporters ofliberty without revolution, seven
and a quarter. This vote is the real express
sion of the national will; and i the conquered
party will but consider their ways and be
wise. relinquish the violent hate of personal
politics, give long pull, strong pull, and
pull altogether, France has before ,lera future

would be indeed happy. The large class OF
voters WHO went TO the poll. showed a revi-
val of political lite very commendable, and
how little influence had that fraction Of The
press which preached up abstention. The
sensible portion of the Denocratic- press wipe
their swords and honOrably admit lost battle.
But the incendiary papers congratulate them
selves on a triumph! ASi'ats astn!Hm fricat:

ary writings Of the Opposition journals did not
find some echo in the canteens. But it must
not be concluded that the soldiers in voting

the Empress, where one half of the soldiers

The large towns as usual poled dead against

government by strongly marked majoritles.
Paris, too. gave gratifying proof OF q re-
turn to better cOunses. Everywhere the
polling was fair and free. There were no
llrns with false, bottoms, or substitutes for
ballot boxes, in the shape OF soup tureen,
or gendarmes boot
1t would be marvellous if the election passed
off without q demonstration. On Wednesday
evening, after the third day Of agony, rcvolll-
tion breathed Its last sigh. But during this
time, some bayonet-wounds were inflicted, and
heads laid open with paving stones and bottles.
The ghost Of q barricade made its appearance,
amidst the ieers Ofthe lookers-on. and as usual
the patriotic defenders bolted on the ap-
pearance Of the troops, who continued To
sweep tae boulevards, where crowd formed.
About four hundred arrests have been made,
but out of this number only hfiy will be ar
raigned. Daggers and knives were the princi-
pal arms found on the insurgents, who count
two deaths-and the burial Of these savtours
of their country attracted some 200 mourn
ers, who made very violent speeches over
the graves. Two policemen are reported to
have died from their wounds. The Min
lister Of Police made an appeal to the
good sense of the Parisls.ns-a very un-
known element in their characterize

wanted to retain them in the streets. To see

write to The Times that thanks to o

citizens fed 10 the mountains, during the eN-
element, and those who were compelled to
remain near the housetops, proVisioned their

is said the chiefs OF the Left will be called upon
to resign. it is singular that the leaders OF
this party, which sends them to Parliament,
are never found In the battles van-ror, in

to abandon street-rioting. There were several
