The most important event was the for

The subjoined conclusion of your report
from the Chamber of Representatives will

.This proposition was received with louid
exclamations, in which cheering vastly
predo-ninitedi. When silence was in some
degree restored, General Courtais added
*In consequence, [ propose that the Provi

who shall occasion doubts of the sincerity
of that acceptation.' I hear att every side

slightest appearance of renetianm will raise
Paris ini [tames and deluge its streets w ith

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

on the day just mientiot,ed, arnd it nas

The National Assembly, the faithful in

it is also most important to know that
there is not the slightest fear that freedom
of debate will be interfered with or inva

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

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.

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

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

that the latter is far iore dangerous than
the former. Last November, the inflien

Itaking for the space ofeleven weeks 6 145
deaths per week above the usual number,
an excess greater than the entire mortality
