valves cut of 400 ACCOMPLISHMENTS. 10 eleven
cases secoud ballet will be necessary. The

that the new Chamber will consist OF about 32J

fairs has been retained from Puget Theniers,
in place OF NJ. Lcfevre.
Among the prominent Bouapalti5s elected i:
Robert Mitchell, and amoog the defeated are
nj. De Maupas aud Prince d Arenberg.
The London Standards Paris correspondent
says the Bouapartists claim to have gained from
thirty to thirty-tour seats. but some OF their
leaders, such az Duke Dc Mouchy, NJ. Chew
reau and NJ. Raoul Duval, have been defeated.
The elections arc considered as unsatisfactory
10 the result, and as calculated to lead to rc-
newal of strife.
The Francois, the Duke de Broglie's organ,
claims that after Gambetta's boast that four
hundred republicans would be returned, the re-
ductor of the republican majority is virtually a
Government victory, which encourages the con-
servalives TO continue in the policy iuaugurated
on the 10th of May. a
The Defense (clerical) considers the reduc
ton of the republican majority rebuko 10 the
insoleuce Of the 1868" and encouragement to
President MacMahon to persevere 10 his pres.
ent course.
The Temps, while admitting some reduction
of the republican majority, considers the decs,
ion of France in favor of tho republicans per-
emptory, aud declares that it will be neitber
possible nor permissible to resist it.
The Constitutional advises the Immediate re-
tirement of the Ministers.
The London Times dispatch, dated Paris.
midnight, gives the latest returns showing that
1926 republicans aud 19l conservatives have
been elected. aud that second ballots will be re.
quired 10 twelve cases.
The Paris evening papers point out that both
the opposition and the Government are disap.
poipted-the former having hoped to return
four hundred deputies, while the latter reckon.
ed on gaining one hundred seats. The Mes
sage de Paris states that the Government has
gained forty seats, and may obtain ten more,
aud suggests that the Governments success is
sufficient TO afford an opportunity of terminal.
ing the crisis by mutual concession. Perfect
tranquility continues to prevail.
, PARIS. Oct, 16-l0 q. m.--The result of the

The Rappe claims that 524 elections give
81 seats to the republicans and 1877 to the
MacMahonites, and that ten second ballots will
DO required. #..... .... r..
Several republican papers speak of the inves'
tigation the elections must undergo 10 the Cnam'
Der.
The Steele urges the Chamber to use uuspar-
Jog justice in this respect.
