The most important event was the for mal Proclamrnaion of the Republic, by the Assembly of France, in the presence of 200.000 of the people. Of this formality the Paris caorrespondenco of the Times gives this account : The subjoined conclusion of your report from the Chamber of Representatives will warm and somewhat desutory discussin 0n Thursdiay, on the necessity tr'the un qualified adoption by the Assembly of the - Republic with these words: 'Citizen Representatives,--The people dle:ttand that the metmbers of the Provi sinoal Governmteot have the goodness to pre-sent t'pemselves to them on the portico of te Palace (Chamber.) and that thte Na ttonal Assemtbly have the goodness to ac comnpauy thetm.' .This proposition was received with louid exclamations, in which cheering vastly predo-ninitedi.

From all that I have seen and heard, this is the gencr al imp~ressioni produced by the evenits of yesterday.

The National Assembly, the faithful in terpreter of the serntimnenrs of the people, by whom it has been elected, previons to commenicing its labors, " Declares. in the name of the French People, and in the face of the etntire world, that the Republic, proclaimed on the 24th of February. 1848, is, and shall remain, the fortm of the Governent of France.

THE NEW CONSTITUTION OF FRANCE. * * *ee * " it is also most important to know that there is not the slightest fear that freedom of debate will be interfered with or inva ded. The army and the National Guard are with, the majority, and even the working men are now beginning to see the impracticable follies of Louis Blance, and to range themselves on the side of or der One of the first questions that will arise is as to the nature and form of the new Republic. It is known that a draft orfa Coujstittutiun was prepared a fortnight ago by M1. Do Cormeti", at the request of the Provisional Government. In this rough draft, a single President, as in Am erica, was fixed upon But after the sketch had been submitted to the Provisional Go vernment, Al Lanartine induced his col leagues to adopt a triumvirate, and in that form, we believe, he proposition will le submitted to the Assembly. A single chamber only will be recommended, the three Presidents to have a suspensive ve to. The separation of Church and State will, we understand, also ne recommended, and one of the first acts of the Finance Mliuister will be to state that he is not pre pared to produce any ecclesiastical budget. These it must be ad:bitted, are grave, so rious and ditlicult questions, admitting of wide difference of opinion, and on which it is certain the widest dif'erence of opin ion must prevail. Dif'erence of opinion also preva:ls, and will, doubtless, be ex - pressed, touching some of the acts of the P'roviional Government. There are few who can approve of the arbitrary conduct of I. Rollin, or of those ordonances of the MJ inister of Justice, touching the inanovi ilite of the judges. From Wilmer & Smith's Europran Times, May 6 F R AN CE. The returns of the French elections are now cotmpleted ; and notwithstanding the utmost exertions on the part of the ultra republicans and communists, who left nei ther foul nor fair means untried to effect their purpose, the lists exhibit. as we an ticipated in our last publichtion, a trium phant testimony to the popularity of the principles propounded and acted upon by Lamartine and the moderat.e party. In deed, so clearly and prominenitly has this expression of popular feeltg been maui fested that some fears were entertained of the minority resorting to utterior measures in order to reuder past proceedings tugato ry. The state of Europe generally has been more settled during the week. though fron the advices which continue to reach us, we cannot calculate for any lengthen ed continuance of the partial subsidence in hostile feeling, which is-now .nanifested.

Atmong the members elected are three Prelates of the Catholic Church, namely the Archbishop of Paris for Aveyrom; the Bishop of Quimper. for Finisterre; and the Bishtop of Orleans for the Lizere.

Eztract of a letter fronm a Boston gentleman at Paris. PAats. Thursday, A pril, 27th. I have but a moment, before the post eaves, to tell you thte admirable manner in wbich the Electons have passed off' here, hanks to the good arrangetment of the lists inid to the mojderation and inielligence of he Parisian people. All the votes tire not et counted, so that the final result will io he declared till to-mtorrow, hut itt many f the Distticts the names of Ledru Rollitn and LoUis Blanc stand so low that there s somne reason to believe their election nay be lost. It would be unfortunate that hey shtould be thrown out. The ideas vhich they re present, if not developed be ore the National assembly, will find a iannc clswhcre. away from thn shewd analysis and clear refulaiton winch they would be sure to encunaTe' ia that body. The Paris list, with one or two ex ceptione, excellent. Of all those inscribed I more than two-thirds, by present returns* have voted. This shows that the election is regarded as a serious matter, for of t the absent third, a large portion were probably retained at home by illness and t the pelting rains of an inclement April. Among those receiving the greatest uum- r her of votes is the eloquent Protestant I teacher, M. Cottueral. whose glowing words few-travellers in France have failed to feast upon. From present appearan ces we may conclude that the returns will be generally in favor of the old Republi cans-the party of the "Natioual"---with Lamartiue, Marrest, and Garnier Pages as leaders. I cannot urge upon you too often the necessity of receiving with great distrust the intelligence from France that comes to you refracted through English newspapers r The conversional capital of those estitma ble old ivomnar, the concierges-composed of all the idle stories repeated by the chaf foniers and street corner patriots-would seem to be served up in daily instalments, for the edification of English readers. t You ask me what impression Louis Blanc's views have made in France. I should be glad to reply to this question ful ly, and regret that time will not now per rmit. It is necessary to divide my hurried answer. L Blanc has develope.l views of the actual state of society in France. the justice of which few pcrsoans.will deny: he proposes a retnely for the evils which are gnawiog into the social- body, and here there are wide ditTereicies of opinion. I am conviced that his r--medy would only aggravate public distress, and such will be belire long, to all appearances, the opinion of those who have upheld his theories. Still, he will have rendered immense ser vice to France and to humanity, by for cing upon the public mind the niecessnty of opening school houses-of spreading in struction-of restoring to the poor antl men ritorious those free places in colleges which have been used as electorial money for buying the votes of the rich-of takinc ol the taxes upon bread, meat and salt of organizing labor, by removing itmpedi ments to labor-by opening roads-by a holishing du ies on manures and articles of first uecessity in mauuflrctures by encour aging the introduction of improved tools be extending; savings banks-rind by other measures o: a similar character , the ue cessity of onactiu: which at ihe present moment is the severest .cotmeintary on the Government that has fallen. s * * * * Cormenia is:.charged with the draft of the : ew Constititiou, and it is impossible to make him incline to more than one Chamber.

Last November, the inflien z- attacked in Loudon 500.000 prrima, Itaking for the space ofeleven weeks 6 145 deaths per week above the usual number, an excess greater than the entire mortality produced by the Cholera in the twenty-one week, during which it raged iu 183'. On examination, it seems Cholera is diar. rhaea developed to a monstrous form by a peculiar state of the atmosphare, aci:urnu lated moist exhalations, with suddeu chan ges of temperature. lalluenza is the ordi nary 'cold developed to an epidemic.' Cholera, in its first stages, readily yiel1s to aromatics, opiates and astringents.
