LOUIS NAPOLEON BONAPARTE." The candidateship of Prince Louts NAPOLEON VIM be supported by the orsvriers, the Red Republi. cans, and the Socialists, but none of these bodies are nearly so well organized as they were at the time of the last election. The Constitutionnel says, that a deputation from those decorated for their bravery during the days of dune, having been introduced to the chief of the Executive, General CAVAIGNAC addressed them as follows  the duration of the power of the Provisional Government, of the Executive Commission, and of the present dictatorial Administration. The single exchange of the conciliatory and beneficent rule of LAMARTINE for the stern and uncompromising domination of CAVAIGNAC is sufficient to account for the fury which still smoulders under the superficial calm of French republicanism. It wants only a stamp of a foot, or the wave of a finger, or the glance of an eye, to elicit all those passions which are dormant through excess of rage, or through the dictates of indecision. In this respect Paris reminds one of the volcano in Iceland, which is roused into an explosion of eruptive force by the dropping of a pebble into the silent and sombre depths of its crater. It remains yet to be seen whose hand is destined to drop the next pebble into that tremendous abyss of revolutions.  Whatever may be the consequence of the approaching election of three representatives for the city of Paris, we are confident, profoundly confident, as to the ulti mate result of the great political movement throughout Prance. The final triumph of Moderation is no longer matter of conjecture. The enemies of Law, if Order, and of Rational Government may struggle to attain their Utopia of murder and rapine, and they will doubtless, at the very earliest opportunity, renew their insane efforts at bloodshed and spoliation ; but the end of all their deplorable machinations will  inevitably be the consolidation of that heroic repubPicanism, that republicanism of Peace, Fraternity, and Moderation, which scared the minions of despotism groin the soil of France in the latter days of February, and planted in lieu of the symbols of royalty the insignia of a free people. Factions, there unquestioncionably are, prepared to convulse the country with the threes of their ambition ; but these very factions intrit find themselves at last compelled reluctantly to iiccumb before the irresistible might of Moderation.  In the end we say—for the Republic has yet, without question, to pass through many crises of terror and peril before she reaches the epoch of her permanent •ranquillity—the fever which still rages in her blood  must be subdued, but before then it will doubtless re,  double the energy of its paroxysms. The Communists ire again beginning to mutter such names as CADET :end RASPAIL ; the Imperialists are again endeavour " I know that the executive power has been blamed for having awarded recompenses in a civil war; we have been reproached with a forgetfulness of our past principle. This is an error; what we thought at other times we think still. But it is not true to say that you gained your crosses in a civil war. You gained them in a social war, waged by society itself against its enemies; that was the real field of battle. I hope that we shall never have to renew such a combat, nay, I venture to promise you that we shall not. The mediation of France is accepted by Austria. The mediation that we have imposed bus been accepted, because we have been moderate. We are then assured of the maintenance of peace. I know not what the future may have in store, but, for my part, I will do all that shall depend ou me to preserve peace—for it is by peace that we can give firmness to our institutions and develop the material and intellectual treasures of France—acd I repeat to you that the mediation that has been accepted has been imposed by ourselves."  ing to excite the population to rebellion by calling :Or the election of Prince Louis NAPOLEON ; the  noise of all kinds of obscure and daring preparations are audible, such as yield but alight promise of the  continued preservation of quietude. We shall listen vigilantly for the footsteps of the conspirators, or for  ,he call of their trumpet.
