Wie, Site See ‘The steam ship Cambria, Captain Shannon, has arrived from Liverpool, whence she sailed on Saturday, the 1th inst. . Our advices are to that date, war The news from the continent o| rope is im- portant. Vienna had capitulated to the imperial troops. Among the passengers in the Cambria is Baron A. de Rothschild, of the great European banking house of the Rothschilds. The Baron probably visits this country for the purpose of establishing a branch of his house in the United States. M. Belmont, of this city, has acted merely as an agent for that financial concern; but now that the up- heavings of Europe are throwing foreign capital into the United States, and the enterprise of the Americans is obtaining gold by; the cart load in California, &c. &c., the Rothschilds probably deem it proper to enlarge their house by the es- tablishment of a branch in America. The London Mercantile Guzetse, of the 18th, says i— Amorning contemporary contradicts the report of Messrs, Rothschild, Brothers, of Paris, being engaged winding up their affairs, and that, consequently, they conduct their multiplicity of business as heretofore. This unnouncement corroborates what we mentioned yesterday in connection wita this subject. The re- port was evidently circulated for the benefit of certain speculators, who too well knew how great a sensation would be created by such a statement. The general tenor of the accounts from Man- chester and the manufacturing districts, partakes of a more favorable character. There had been more steadiness in the cotton market than for some time past, and holders have been less anxious to press their stocks upon the market. The quotations have been maintained with some firmness, and more especially for the ordinary and middling qualities, to which the en. quiry is mainly confined. Nothing doing in turpentine. Small sales of common American rosin are made at 3s. 3d. per cwt. The weeky return of the Bank of France shows that the progressive prostration of commerce which has been remarked forso many weeks, still continues. The discounts of the Paris Bank are again tour millions less. There is no news of importance from Ireland. In Italy all is confusion; and several parte of Lombardy have risen against the Austrians. The Hermann, which sailed from New York on dhe 20th ult., reached Southampton on Sunday might, the 5th inst., after a passage of sixteen days, having been retarded by a slight accident to one of her engines, which rendered one of her paddies neeless. The Britanria, which left New York on the 25th, had been atsea over sixteen days, but was going into Laverpodl on the 11th inst. ee SPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE OF THE HERALD, Our Liverpool Correspondence.

Lerd Mayor's Day—Surplice Disturbances—Anti-State Church Asscciation — Shipping News—Emigration Mevement—Theatricals— State of Trade—Cholera— Grain, Reilway and Money Markets. The great event of the week has been the installa- tion of the Lord Mayor of London. The 9th of No- vember iz always a grand day in the city, as far as ho- Jiday-making is concerned, and a dics non as far as relates to business. Procession after procession moves about the streets—men in armor jostle city marsha’s men, and policemen, and flag-bearers, and the public, are huddled together in one mass of unenviable confu_ sion. Hospitality, or, in plainer terms, plenty of eat. ing and drinking, is the order of the night; #0 the Lord Mayor gives a dinner to almost every one of note that cares to come. Ministers go, out cf compliment, and congratulate the new civic dignitary on his elec- tion, who, in return, promises to spend his money la- vishly in attending to the creature comforts of his ity brethren, by cramming them, at decently he intervals with the cood thins; of this world. The fact ia, the Lord Mayor's Day is a farce, from morning till night. The procession is @ farce, the congratulatory address is a farce, the di ig ® farce, (beoatse only favored friends of his an get anything to eat,) and the oratery at the banquet isa farce. For about five shillings, two or three men screw themselves into Drees armor, at the eminent risk of getting breken Nmbs; and fors similar reward, some two or three dozen of vhe unwashed can be got to salute the mayor's cerriege with vivas, in the most stentorian accents, which are magnified by those interested in the con- Foe | ie) expressions of the most decided approval. 8 mey ’s Days, like London watchmen and hack- }, are getting fast into disuse ; and though 1 suppose, for years to come, there will be a lord mayor, jour readers may feel tolerably sure that the ginger- Bread peagentry that accompanies him, will be « thing of bye-gone days. Sir James Duke, who was installed into the civio chair, isan old sailor anda table citizen of London. ile this feasting and rejoicing been going on in this part of the country, another scene of rather a different description has enacted in one of the eburches in the city of E: I must first state that fe we have hada constant the last two or t! ‘some clergymen insisted on aching in their surplices, in place of the academical Bick gown.

This, you gee, is the way in which we amuse ourselves. Even in religious matters, wo eontrive, occasionally, to create a little excitement. Woile Tam speaking of church matters, maj well tell you that a large meeting of the AntiS Church ciation was held on Uhursday evening.

There would then be every possibili- ty, as well as s probability, of that system which was the best and purest gaining the most converts. This change, 80 001 deneficial, cannot be expected to come into being for some years. The Hermann arrived at Cowes about half past eight on Sundey evening, with three hundred thousand dol- lare in specie and Legge: passengers. She was sixteen days on her passage, w! is explained by the fact of one of her engines getting out of repair midway be- tween New York and London, She is now in dock, and will be ready in her turn to leave om the 20th. A statement is gaining eurrency, that the reason Capt. Hosken 20 unfortunate with the Great Bri was im eonsequi of the compasses: through the material of the vessel, § ment be correct, it exoner ing the blame veesel. Surely some protection against the irom ought to iven to the compass box, in order that it should not become disarranged. The alleged reason of pub- Heity not being given to this statement before is, that the owners did not wish their porperty deprociated Although I do not vouch for the authenticity of these statements, it must be added that they remain un- othe emigrat tis i cr e emigration movement. is progressing as rapidly as ever, which has induced the government to bea little more careful to enforce sanitar; tions on board emigrant ships.

These rules are spe- cially applicable to ships proceeding to British North America and eur colonies. vy fines will be imposed if any of these conditions are not complied with. Jullien’s promenade concerts opened on Friday even- ing, and a perfect uproar continued the whole of the evening, chiefly because the theatre was overcrowded, but also from the intention of many persons who were there to have arow.

Your theatrical criticisms on dr, Macready’s performances are highly spoken of here, and quoted in nearly the whole of the papers. ‘There is no sporting intelligence of moment to com- municate. The racing season is nearly over. We are looking forward to the (Sag Liverpool steeple chase. ‘The accounts respecting the etate of trade in London and the Provinces, are not particularly cheering. In the latter, many workmen are faid to be thrown out of employ, in consequence of the sudden abandonment, or in come cares temporary stoppage, of railway works. During the two past years, an immense deal of labor has been called into requisition, through the many schemes that were being carried out. Now thatthere is a check upon these, it has made a stagnation in the Jabor-market. There are not many compliai bout the factories, so it isfair to presume that this descrip- tion of labor is in good circumstances. The mill owners, too, appear tolerably satisfied; large quantities of orders still continue to come from abroad, which keep the hands fully employed. In London, there is of course to be seen @ vast amount of destitution, but not more, I think, than usual. In all large cities the poor are always to be found, and particularly so et this season of the year. For this, however, we have a partially fective antidote in the shape of charitable societies, a the like. ‘At Edingburgh the Jaw officers have commenced trying the Chartists for the recent seditious riots in Scotland.

The cholera is still making slow ravages, although it is not committing Very great destruction. I find by the latest official return published, that 469 cases have deen reported in Edingburgh, 267 of which bave ended in death, 68 .bave recovered, and 171 are under treat- In London Searropordon, isthi 41 cases have ted, 31 kay id, 6 have recovered and 6 are under treatment. §The [most active means are taken by the Boards of to counteract the pro- gress of the disease.

The Accident to the Machinery of the Steamship Hermann. Iam sorry to have to report, for the information of your readers, that the United States mail steam- er Hermann has met with another accident to her machinery, and that she will be actsimed here for repairs, till the middle of December. [learn that this vessel has made avery good run across the Atlantic, and would have arrived off Cowes in excellent time, but for a mishap which occurred on the 29th ultimo, when the cross tail of the lar” board engine, which connects the side levers, and to which the connecting rod working the crank is attached, gave way. The shock arising from the sudden breaking of this part acting upon the side levers, cracked them, and the larboard engine became unserviceable, The remainder of the voyage, a distance of 1,200 miles, was performed with only one engine. alded by the sails, in about 634 days, and the Hermann arrived off Cowes about 834 P.M. on Sunday last, 6th inst., having made the run, under these untoward cir- cumstances, ina few hours over sixteen days. T' Hermann is now in dock for repairs, and it has been found necessary, by the agents, to order new side le- vers to be cast and fitted, besides other repairs of a minor nature. The side levers will weigh about six tons each, ands considerable time will, of course, be i ‘Out the old ones and in fitting Places, &o, I fear, therefore, that it will be Impossible to get the ship ready for sea be- fore the middle of December. has been abandoned—the Hermann’s cargo to that city is to be forwarded by a small sailing schooner chartered for the yo ‘The German mails were de- livered from the Hermann to the postmaster of South- ampton for transmission to the general postoffice, in London, from whence they were sent forward by the Hamburg amer for delivery at Bremen, ac- cording to an arrangement existing between the Eng- lish post office authorities end the administers mn of the Bremen post ofice, in ouses where the detention of the United States mail steamors, at Southampton, is rendered necessary from accident, ot the closing of the navigation of the river Weecr, in winter months, ‘The persengers for Bremen, by the Mermann, bad their passage paid from Souchampton via London to Bremen by the English steamers, This untortunate accident to the Hermann is much to be regretted, as it puts a stop to the extremely pro- fitable operations of the Ocean Stea vigation Com- pany. There is no doubt but that the engines of the steamers Washington and Hermann have and profit steam navigatio ‘ashington and Hermano can be made good and useful steamers, but I think that certain ions of their machinery shouldbe strength- ened.

Ihave not much news of importance to com- municate this week, with the exception of the trial and acquittal of Mr. Williams, late one of the proprietors of the Tribune newspaper, a full report of which you will see in the public journals. Mr. Ferguson, the foremost man of the late Pro- testant Repeal Association, defended him on the occasion, Whilst Mr. Willams was acquitted, his co-partner, Mr. O’Donohoe, was found guilty, and sentenced to 10 years’ transportation ; which sentence, under all the circumstances, is consi- dered very rigorous. Writs of error, as in the cases of the other convicted prisoners, however, may set aside the sentence. Mr. Meaghergave £50 to carry on Mr. O’Donohs trial, and Mr. Butt generously would aoc- cept of no fee for services. The ground of the writ of error in Mr. O’Donohoe’s case, is, that no bi of the city of Dublin, should compose part ofa jury tor a trial for felony; inasmuch as they are an inte- rested party in the conviction of felons, from the for- feiture of the property of such felons to the corpora- tion, and, therefore, go in mitigation of municipal taxes, A meeting was held for the purpose of instituting o collection, toenable Mr. O’Donoboe to prosecute his writ of error, when the following reselution was adopt- ed, which will convey to you the public opinion in the matter:— “That, inasmuch as very eminent counsel have given their opinion that the judgment pronounced on Mr, O'Donohoe, by which his life or liberty is affected, is erronious, and ought tobe reversed; aud as it ap- pears that the rame advantages have not been afford- ed him in bis trial which he would have had had he beem in England, and tried in Englaod, for the of- fence with which he was charged; and that as his cir, cumstances do not enable him to contend against the power of the crown, in contesting his right—we do forthwith enter into, and do, hereby solicit, subscrip- tions, for the purpese of aiding bim in bringing his case forward for the ultimate decision of the highest tri- bunal in this kingdom; as, in doing #0, we uphold the right of every Jrisuman to equal and impartial justice. ‘That the committee now named, with power to add to their number, be Pevilgrs Ch sreng subscriptions for the above purpore, each of whom receive & list, signed by the secretary and a member wf the general committee.” On Nonday last, counsel appeared in behalf of Mr, ertain grounds of judgment, and ‘a8 yet collect, on the chances of one or the other candidates for the Freiseenes, 0 too vague to allow the speculators to hazard anything on the result, Thus the most experienced abstain altogether from any operation. 7T question of the Presidency has almost wholly absorbed the attention of capitalists; but still ithas not prevented them from following with interest the debates of the Assembly on the rectitied budget of 1848, and on the resources of the revenue of 1849. Unhap- pily, they are not disposed to adopt without examina- Uon the calculations of M. Goudchaux, or M. Trouyé-Chauvel. It is difficult to say if the deflelt of this year, alihough there are only two months to come, can be arcertained; coneequently, it is thought epoe- sible to hazard for 1849 the sdoption of es' tes on which anything like certain calculations can be formed. Can, then, the receipts of the two last months of this eur be adopted asbases of estimates for the next year! ides which vey Minister pee for the future, great savings and considerable amelior: tions, which wre rarely, if ever, realized. Have our Fi! Minis- ters considered the expenditure, rendered necessary by the av tation of the public debt foundation of the cultural colonies in Alge! \d many other credits regarded now as indispensibls It results, from these reflections, that the Bourse at- taches but @ qualified credence to the favorable details stated at the tribune of the Assembly, as to the results of 1449, What is sure tobe certain, is an deficiency of nearly 350 millions for 1845, and a pro- Dably nearly equal deficie: for 1849. This fapinine why the sellers are not i hurry to realize their pro- fits, even after so great a decline, [thas been suppoted that the two projects of law presented to the Assem- bly by M. Trouve Chauvel, as to the Bons du Tresor and the savings banks, have contributed to lower prices. The minister, by announcing that a supple- meatary inscription of rente would be accorded to those parties, and that the calculation id be found- ed on the average prices of the fives andthe threes from the 7th of July, has left in doubt the period up to which the average would be struck, It has been con- jectured thatit would be up to the promulgation of the decrees, This omision in the statement of the minis- ter has determined some very large holders of treasu- ry, loan, to operate on the funds by producing a fall so asto obtain a larger average, and in this operation they have been assisted by the obvious tendency of the market, To this operation, therefore, partly, is attri- buted the sudden decline of prices on Saturday. ‘The events of Vienna have had no influence this week on our funds, since the result of the struggle has been forereen. Bank shares have bad a downward movement, on ac- count of the weekly balance sheet published on the 3d being considered, far from satisfactory. The specie in Paris bas increased 2%4 millions, and in the depart- ment, a quarter ofa million. The commercial discounts in Paris have diminished 4 millions--those of the depart- ments have increased 1}, millions, The account cur- rent of the Treasury, to its credit, js diminirhed from 644 millions to 134 millions. The overdue bills are in- creaged 3 millions ; but this is accounted for by the bills falling due the end of October not being ald im due course until the 2d November, the nce sheet having been made up to that day. Thespecie in the bank was 233% millions, against 393 nullions of issues. The tested bills still amount to 2254 mil- lions, The whole commerote! discounts for Paris and the departments, are 17234 millions. Nov, 8.—The Bourse of yesterday was dis: fall continued, and the holders who had bi trous; the in crowds by the decline of the last few offering to cell on all sides, ro precipitated the fall tha: the five er cents declined 220, and the threes 135, The fives nd the threes at 40 20; a week since the fives wore at 68 30, and the threes at 44, The princi- pal moth je panic was the fear that the subscribers to the new loan would refuse to pay up the remaining instalments, if the fall should continue, This they can do without perfecting the instalments already aid, for the Minister of iimances, in negotiating this joan, committed the error of giving an inseription of rente for each instalment paid, instead of waiting the payment of all the instalments, and then giving an inscription for the entire amount of renie. If, there- fore, the fives fall below 62 8, the subscribers will find it to be their interest not to pay up the remaining in- stalments. It may be easily understood that this has created great alarm in the market, as prices are ap. proaching 62 8, for if the state should be left without the resource on which it calculates from this loan, it will be obliged at ‘the beginning of 1849, to find some new means of meeting the most urgent claims.

The funds, which, for a month past, have re- maired nearly stationary, spite of the numerous causes of flactuation which have occured, have fallen, during this week, in an alarming manner. The purchases for money, which for a long time, have kept prices steady, have suddenly ceased, and this, with stock thrown on the market, have lows ered quotations, During the two last days of the month, the sell- | crs, instead of re-purchasing, have carried over been constructed by eagineers who would not take advantage of the experience of the English people in feveral important details; aud it cannot be denied that the machinery of these two vessels has been supplied in an imperfect state, It fs equal!y certain that the whole of the disasters to mpany’s vessels, have arisen from the defective their machinery, as supplied by the manufao- turers; and itis painful to see # great national ente: prise interrupted, and an immense and profitable traf- fe diverted, by the incompetence of engineers to supply sea-worthy engines, It iv a great pity som their accounts to the end of the month, which may be considered as a proot that the market will con- tinue its downward tendency during the month of November. Tho Bourse must necessarily feel the emotion which egitates the country at the approach of the election of the President. Itwas impossible that, io presence of an event of such @ nature, the speculator, for # rive, could sustain the upward movement againet the stock every day thrown on the market; 60 far from this, they wfler themeelyes to partake of the general dissour Tangement cannot be entered into, whereby wduiti sleaaiers might be put on the New York, go ton aud Brewea One, os bt convinced thi aeetplible of bug made ope o!

The Bourse common ca@ures that occasion fluctuations in this eeourity, and the effect that any considerable fluctua. tion in the funds bas more or less on all values, this fall is attributable to the apprehension of the effect on the bavk of the serious difficulties likely to ensue to it from 60 enormous a fall in the funds, and from the gloomy prospectsof the market, the bank being a holder of 34 mijlions of rente of the public debt. Much anxiety was expressed as to the intention said to have been formed by a leading banking house (Mesern, Rothschilds freres) to wind up their affaire, on gccount of serious los! sustained at Vien: This decision should not seem extraordinary (if it have been come to) as it is known that since the revolution of February, it had taken such a position as to enable it to close its affeirsat gmy moment. An distrust prevails, anda thousand alarming rumors are afloat, the premium on geld has increased to 21 france on the 1, Nov, 9,—The Bouree opened yesterday at the cloein; prices of previous day ; but the amount of stoo!

They closed at42 and ud 60 for cash, and 42 and 64 75 for account. It is possible that the fall of the price of the Fives to nearly that which would risk the abandonment of the payment of the future instalments of the loap, may have induced certain capitalists interested in the event to come to the aid of the funds. Dur- {ng the whole of the bourse, the agitation was extraordinary and the fluctuations were considerable, Towards the closing it was rumored that General Ca- vaignae had made overtures tothe Rue de Poitiers, and had proposed that if his candidateehip were sup- orted by that reunion, he would appoint M. Thiers Viee President, and cheose his ministry from that party; but as the reports eee, wre ourreut 1 proposal having been made to M.

The New Constitution— The Presidency, §c. We have just commenced another important phase of the revolution of 1848. The new con- stitution has been finally voted in its ensemble, by the National Assembly. This great event took place ‘about five o’clock on Saturday evening, When the vast importance which has been so long attached to it 18 conceded, and the protracted debates to which it has given rise, it is astonish- france, | at | on the closing prices ing with what indifference, not to say coldness, | this great national matter has been regarded. The million of inhabitants of Paris neither knew nor cared what the Assembly was debating about on Raper: The galleries were unusually empty. When the President finally declared that the con- stitution was adepted in the name of the French people, @ portion of the representatives rose and shouted Vive la Republique. ‘The majority were silent, and not @ round washeard of sympathy from the alleries. Immediately afterwards, M. Dufaure, Minis- fer of the Intertor, ascended the tribune and proposed that the Assembly should retire into its bureatx forthe purpore of appointing @ committee to confer with the government on the manner in which the proclamation of the constitution should be publicly solemnized. This being agreed to, the Assembly withdrew, and a committee of fifteen was appointed. Meanwhile, an order was sent to the Invalides to fire 101 guns, to an- nounce the ae fact to the oapical. There guns were firedat 7 o'clock; but so far from being under- stood as a signal of rejoicing, they spread general consternation, the population in general conciud- ne’ Toburrection had broken out. ollected along the Boulevards and in es. The operatives in the faubourg cades of June had been ereoted,and were preparing to reconstract them. Tho recfiarity of the reports of the cannon first raised a surmise emong the popnla- tion that its object was different, and on the appewe- j , the cauce became know the eapit jo one now thought of such @ tating and. on t ntrar7,the idoa of gottiag ap another féte like that of the republic, |!» regarded with disap probetion, not to say disguet. Lae commerce of Paris je prosteated, and ity people in misery. Strangers ore baw shed, wealth 's Loarded, and shops aad buresux are clored The great absorbing question, meanwhile, is the Pro | ther; the pavilion of V wi ‘citing and personal character of this juestion, that of the constitution ‘s utterly forgotten. ithin sixty years, France has witnessed the procla- mation and the solemnization of some fourteen or sixteen constitutions, all of which have been treated, bec seay yer a8 waste paper, No one expects any other fate for the present; choice of the first President as an act pregnant with nce. Whowill be this great functionary ? will be astonished, when I tell you that out of the extensive personnel of French statesmen and warriors, there are but two who are regarded as being within the scope of possible election, and these two are Prince Louis Napoleon Bonaparte, the son of the ex-King of Holland and the nephew of the Em- ror, and the other General Cavaignac, an officer, who, the other day, held only the rank ot a colonel, Prince Louis was born in 1806, in Paris. and was baptized with great splendor, near Verrailies, He is, ther e, now forty-two. Before and since his imprisonment at Ham, he was resident chieily in England, where he associated with the aris- tocracy. speaks English as fluently as a native, and with a very bay one foreign accent. In his maun’r be has much bonho is frank, and entirely free from pretensi: |, by French people, H to speak Bact language imperfectly, and with a de- f cided! n accent, resembling that with which English on to ata kit. He has, of course, as mmanrhip, having had no has he had any tical knowledge in Whatever, therefore, his ‘uallties itely prove, they are as yet unknown. One he assuredly has not—that ofa public ker. has two or three times attempted to addrose the Assembly, and even when his speech was written, it was delivered with that kind of embarrassment which ally attends those unaccustomed to address large assembleges. This is a defect, however, which will soon be overcome by practice. itis therefore evident that if Prince Louis be successful, he will owe his suc- cess altogether to his pame and descent. Notwithstanding the strong disclaimer of tho rights of primogeniure and inheritance which appears in the constitution, and breathes through all the institations of the republic, the preference about to be given to Prince Louis belies it i & most striking manner. Prince Louis has three cousins in the Assembly, two of whom, at least, have rome abilities as public speak- ers. One of them is a declared democrat, and both of them bear an almost painful resemblance to the Empe- cr, of whore lineaments there is no trace in the person of Prince Louis, notwithstanding no one in France has thought, for a moment, of selecting any other member of the family than him on whose brows, by | hereditary descent, the imperial crown must have fall- en, This is either a homage to the hereditary princi- pe in geners], or a tacit affirmation of the force of the ws of the empire, ther candidate is,as 1 have stated, Gen. Ca- At the epoch of the revolution of February, this officer held the rank of mari:chal de camp, which, in the French army, corresponds with the rank of ma- jor general in the British, Even this rank he hadonly eld for three or four months, having been lately raised from that of colonel. Immediately after the revolu- tion, he was named general of division and governor of Algeria, being thus passed over all his seniors, who, besides, had obtained much higher military distino- tion, such as Gens. Lamoriciere, Changaraler, Ne- grier, Beraguay d'Hilliers, &e, ko. This distinction was due to the declared republican principles of Gen. Cavaignac, but still more to his family. His father was notorious as a conventionalist, and formed a pro- minent figure in the reign of terror. His brother, Godefroy Cavaignac, was well known for his connexion with the journal, the National, and is regarded as the victim of bis republican opinions. At the epoch of the invasion of the chamberin May, Gen. Cavaignac having been elected a member of the Assembly, resigned his governorship of Algeria, and arrived in Paris two days after the outrage of the 16th of May. He was paleedleealy appointed minister of war by the executive commission. His connexion with the insurreetion of June, and his subsequent dic- tatorship. are well known. Gen. Cavaignac is in his 47th year, having been born on the 15th Oct., 1802. Keer are the two candidates who stand before the Tench people; and between these two, itis admit- ted o ande, the choice must be made. So far as regards the popular vote, the issue is not doubtful, Prince Louis will have a great majority; but willhe have the majority required by the condi- tions of the constitution? Most people think he will, mamuchgreater. The party of the legitimists owed their intention to support him. A large party of the Orleanists, if not all, will have done the seme. Count Molé has written to his constituents at Bordeaux in his favor. The party of the Rue de Poi- tiers avows its opposition to Gen. Cavaignac, but is silent with regard to Prince Louis. This, under e: isting circumstances, is pretty nearly equivalent to declaration of support. In the rural districts the bulk of the population will vote for him, There are entire departments, such as those of the Youne, the Moselle, and Corsica, who will vote for him as oneman. M. Thiers bes declined being a candidate for the Pre dency, and hehag also declared that he copt office under Prince Louis as President. jf such be the attitude which the eminent men of the country assume, what, it may be asked, are their views? Do they intend to withdraw their services now and for ever from the State, and to retire into pri- vate life; or do they intend Beg themselves in per- manent opposition to the chief of the State chosen by univeréal suffrage? The answer to this is, that they regard the pretent regime, whatever President may be chosen, a8 a temporary one. They believe that the republic will not be permanent; they look forward to the re-establishment ot monarchy in some shape or ‘und me head, and they will not consent to identify themselves with a system which is one of transition, and a connexion with which might impair their use- fulness hereafter. Such is the well understood policy whieh guides such men as M. ‘Thiers, Count Mol, the Duke de Broglie, &e. The solemnities attending the formal pzoclamation of the constituticn, are ome to be celebrated ia on Sunday next, andin the departments on the following Sunday... » ‘A great amphitheatre is. being now erected in the aes, between the obeliek which occupies the centre of the Place dela Concorde and the gates of the gardens of the Tulleries. upon the very spot where Louis XV and the other victims of the great revolution were executed A magnificent chapel, crowned by a do surmounted by a cross, will be constructed before the gate of the Tuileries, between the two fosses.

It was at the palace of the Palais Royal and the chateau of Neuilly that the most lamentable losses of this kind were sustained, Tho chateau of the Tuileriee, occupied by men who presided over the destinier of the country, at the,time of the proclamation of the republic, got quit of some broken vases, some furniture spoiled, some Florentine bronzes, and other ébjects of value stolen, in the first moments of disorder; but the chateau cf Neuilly has not one stone ow ano- iers has disaj id; the le, consecrated to Diana of Poitiers, in the ‘k, still remains—the statue of Diana has no other Fojury than @ mutilation of one of the dogs, But at the chateau, what lamentable ruins, still sprinkled with the blood of the incendiaries, crushed un- der the falling walls, and burned to death by the flames that they themselves bad lighted !— Twenty-one bodies were recently dog out of the ruins, andevery day others are discovered.

Something appears to be brewing here. Ouy Queen and Narvwz are eternally squabbling. Great matters and small, give occasion for conti- nued misunderstandings.
