Canvass— Female Emete-—French Women— Montagnards. Raspail has received a letter from his dungeon, jn which he saye, that he 1s too disinterested to decline the office of President, if elected ; that he will serve the people as representative, in the dun- geon, or the Presidency, according as they may cal! ‘him to the duties of the one, or the ‘other; and that hee shall not decline in favorof Ledru Rollin, orany one @lee. Thus the socialists avd red republicans will each have their candidate, and from present manifestation® there is evidently no want of patriotism in France, for the same office. Vesterday the women had an emeute ; they assembled in hundreds at the Bastile, and screamed at the top of their voices, that they would have their husbands beck again, and they demaaded ‘that Gen. Cavaignac should pardoa them. They be- Jonged to the ranks of the Insurgents ofJune.

Paris, November 4, 1848, Presidential Contest—The Army. The good sense of General Cavaignac appears to serve him better than some of hisfriends. Yes- terday M. Anthony Thouset moved to exclude, constitutionally, all the members of the families that had been upon the throne of France, from the Presidential office ; which motion was apparently received with much favor by the Assembly, who are generally opposed to the election of Louis Napo- Jeon, But General Cavaignaé took the tribune, and, 4 ® speech full of good sense and warmth, opposed the adoption of any such measure. He said two families hed already been excluded, by being in exil ‘that u would be directed o that it was unworthy —that free was accorded ; and he was anxious ‘to Dave the whole country pronounce judgment, un- Festrained, vpon his administrati: The General exhibits an unshaken confidence im the opinion that the country will sustain him, by electing him, and ‘the bold manner in which he insists upon undergoing ordeal, is calculated to inepire the same sentiments in ethers.

The great purpose, or rather the great measure, of the revolution, was yesterday completed—the final adoption of a Democratic Constitution. Twenty-one oannon annou.ced the happy even to France; and, at the conclusion of the vote, she whole aesembly rose, and cried “ Vive la Re- publique.” The fourth day of November, thus, will hereafter be a great day in the history of France—a corollary to those of February of the same year, Immediately after the announcement of thé vote, M. Dulaure, the Minister of the Inte- nor, mscended the tribune, and, in the name ot | the Crovernment, proposed that measures be taken for a grand celebration, in France, of the happy event. which was immediately referred to the Bureaux, t@ elect the committee to carry into effect this great measure, and to make France joyous in one grand and brilifant féte. like our Fourth of July. 4th of July im America, and the 4th of November, in France, are, and will be, great days in the history of the world—and swful 8 to tyrants and despots. ‘The Minister of the imterior bas also addressed a general circular to all the prefects in France, instruo- ting them ia their duties, fm the Presidential election. It is concerned in a good epirit; but it manifesta, very clearly, tbat the rth me in the han and st it will not fail, without hearty trial o rength, at the ballot box, of universal suffrage. The power of the government is great, in France, in the present condition of the country; where men have all their lives looked to 8, and to the government, for in- ctions; and! do not, by any means, think that the battle is yet fought, or the victory won, by Napo- Jeon. The Club Poitier finds a grand difficulty, in agreeing to act together. M. Thiers has been, he thinks, check-mated in attempting to carry the dom- inating club against General Cavaignas. The question ie not resolved, but the Constitucionel is takea to task for undertaking to speak for the moderate republicans, authoritatively. The Siecle is as moderate as the Constitutionel, and it is out strong fer General Ca- yaignac, and questions the Constitutionel, very clovely,' upon "ite curious and extraordinary position. ‘The Putrie and are alto mo- derate, and I think that both endeavoring to 0 in for General C: ignac. As to the geaeral imeelf, he believes that he has done well for the country; and he goes straight forward, without turn- ing to ihe right «F left, to take the sente of France ‘upon the correetness of his conduet, and he believes that by that vote he will be justified. M. Thiers he will not accost—he wiil not have him in his cabinet— who must lvad, or himself upon the He likes Dufaure much rinsiples; and M. Dutaure he is going to exert all his power to sustain the government and its present head Count Molé is heart and soul, too, for the general; and there men are quite a match for M. Thiers, News of the capitulation of Vienna has been offi- cialiy received by the government. It was resolvud upon by @ vote of the council; the terms are not stated; though they are said to be unconditional. But Vienna has made a g/orious fight, and from its heroic defeace, tyrants have had auother lesson. Let the Emperor hang and cut off the heads, as he has threatened, and be will have another chapter by which to be in- structed. After witnessing the valor and bravery isplayed by the people upon the European Con- contiaent, others oppressed will be ashamed not to fight for their liberties. Even the chartists of Eng- land, and the Irish, will be emboldened, by and by, to fire @ musket ; that is, to talk jess aud todo more—to use powder and ball instead of wind and words—to learn how to die before the cannon’s mouth, : instead of running away betore conatabies’ bludgeons. When they learn this lesson, they, too, will be free, and not before. They must fight and die, as others have been obliged to, before they oan strike off the chains of ty. rauny ; apd until they do so, they will have luss sym. pathy than have those who prefer freedom to life ‘The duy 19 beautiful for the grand review, and my- riads are bastening to the celebrated Champ de Mars to witness the brilliant military display.

The Inawguration of the Constitution--Assembly —Ministers, etc. The 12th instant, next Sunday, is the day fixed upon to promulgate the constitution in Paris ; and the Sunday after, in all the departments in the country. The Place de la Concorde, the most mag- nificent spot in the world, 18 selected as the place where the ceremony is to take place. The particule, centre is between the two spots where Louis XVI. and the Queen were beheaded. It was on this rpot that the Revolution of February first took # public form ; and I stood and looked upon the proceedings for hours, when they appeared only like the flying clouds which Precede and foretell the tempest that is to follow. It was intensely exciting, and curio fret and infaat revolutionary mo Jere than ® month, convuised and overturned most of the thronesin Europe. The conatitation is to be read by the President of the Assembly, in the presence of the government, the officers State, the National Guasde, prei by deputations, and the diplomatic corps. The defile in to commence at nine v'ciock in the morning of National Guards citizens. and it is expected that 150.000 to 200.000 people wit! form the pro- cersion, 600,000 france are to be distributed to the poor upon the occasion ; but there does not appear to be apy ee rete as many desired. eepecially the wocialiats members voted for the adoption of the constitution, and 30 sgalnat it; reveral were absent, ou lorgé, and @ few others abstained from voti Mont ot those who voted agatort the constitution. who abstained from voting. have givem their reason for ro doing, Many of them are ef an opporite cha racter ; and they embrace mou of doctrines so ex- tremely opposed—from M.

My surprise is, after seeing what I have of the leading French polit that they ha 7 constitution at all—or one, ast, as ROOd asit is be seem to be destitute of all idea of s fixed law, which is not to be overturned at pleasure. They would fowl that they were imprisoned, if they bad a constitution like oura, of @ permanent character that ail their liberties were gone. They cannot eonceive that per- manency gives liberty ; but, with them, liberty consists in making laws daily, as they go along, to suit each particular . and in overturning it to morrow, to getrid of another difficulty. Their constitution is a giece of patchwork, very little worthy of an experienced republican nation, but of immenre credit to a nation just issuing trom the fetters and corruptions of a mo- parchy; apd | can see thatthe Assembly have learned many useful lessons since they came together. A striking instanee of it was given in their vote of yes- terday. striking down the high ralaries, in opposition to the vigorous efforts of M. Marie, the minister of jus- tice. What fine republicans, Marrast and Marie !— tponging the State to their interest, when it is raa- ping in debt 500.000 060 franca # year! Upto this time, the law bas never fixed the salaries of the whole army of officials attached to the different ministers; and corrup- tion and faveriti:m—have stalked abroadin the face of duy—clerks in the same grade, having some 6 000. and rome 9,000 france a year, according to the pleasure of the minister. The Assembly are just preparing to exterminate ths source of scandal. To plunder the |" public treasury. appears to have been the privilege and erquisites of cfficials. Ths Assembly bave alro fixed in the constitution a provision making the office of representative incompatible with that of any other, leavirg not even & oep-hole for exceptions to be pro- vided for in the organi 8; yet the spirit of the As- sembly is sgainst the measure, notwithstanding the influence of ministers. To day is beautiful in France; Lhopeitis so in America; for I nt every man to bave an opportunity to act upon the great question to be decided this day. I hope the whigs will not suc- ceed ; for I cannot feel that under their influence the foreign and domestic relations of our couutry would be as well conducted the influence of those inciples which bavano sympathy for monopoly at ome, or England abroad. Tbe English press of the last two or three weeks, has been very busy In eleo- tioneering for them, and in libelling the character of the great democratic es of our people. I should like to bave them disappointed. Panis, Nov. 7, 1848, Grand Rupture m the Club Poitier--Jmportant Disclosure-——Famuly of Louis Philippe Porsoned- The Club Poitier 1s in trouble. A schism has taken place therein, and the revelations are of an imposing and important character for France. M. Degouesée, the vice president, has resigned ; and in his letter giving his reasons ‘theretor, he fays:—Union, the most complete, bas for a long time remained among us; but within a month a sensi- ble change has taken place in the spirit of our deli- berations ; and our last sittings have demonstrated to me, that to-day our republic is no more tolera- ted as a temporary necessity, than sustained as the sole form of government which can uphold the well” fare of the country. Devoted all my life to republican principles, which demand « frankness of opinion, | cannot admit, that from the fear of making known to the country our divisions into @ majority and minority, our club should abstain from making known the candidate for the presidency, the most suitable to consolidate the republic, and to as- sure the well-being of the country. ‘The ses- sion of Saturdsy numbered hunured and fifty; thirty-seven thought with me; fifty-two were oppose tothe selection of any candidate; the rest absteined, As to myself, who never dissimulate my convictions, 1 should be wanting to my former character all my life, it | were to continue to make a part ofa club who abandon their country ata moment when it bas most need of the concern and light of all its citizens.” To this the president of the club has replied, and said the ciub did not deem it prudent w commit itself in oppa- try will judge between ‘¢ and M.

Paris, Nov. 8, 1848. The Treason of M. Thiers to the Republic—Nupo- leon--Cavatgnac. Iam now satisfied that Thiers and a consider- able number of his friends, intend and expect that the Republic should be overthrown, and a mo- narchy succeed to it. In the debate in the Club Poitier, he said the nomination ot a candidate by that club would ensure the election of Gen. Cavaignac; for, said he, the Assembly willelect him, That is cer- tain, if he should only be the 6thon the list, and he herefore oppored ® nomination, because he said he was not prepared for the election of Gen. Cavaigaac, He said Gen. Cavaignac had dome much for tae coun- try; but there was not altogether satisfactory ¢ dence, that he had dissolved all connection with the men of violence in the country ; that the club oughe | to tehe every responsibility im the election ; aad to hold themeeives united, to act together according to cir- cumstances, At the same time the Constitutionnel is todir or rather directly, promoting the viection poleo ¢ friends of Louls Napoivoa | ed a8 0 Amnesty tothe Insurgeats;”” ids of this ciass of men wili support him fer that reason, M.

Paris, Nov. 9, 1848, The Latest News. To-day, Ledru Rollin will publish his presiden- tial manifesto, as candidate of the Montagnards. Next Sunday, Géneral Cavaignae will publish his, and immediately thereafter, Louis Napoleon will follow their example. When Napoleon was che- sen representative from five departments out of fifteen, he had not a public press in Parts in his favor. Now he has at least two thirds for him as President. Several emall ones have sprung up, not- withstanding the 26,000f. caution money; and, among others, the “ Petite Corporal”? It will ba recollected that the old soldiers ot the French army, after the battle of Lodi, named Napoleon “le petite corporal.” ‘They had nover seen such fighting before; and Napo- leon wus prouder of this name, all his subsequent life, then that cf Emperor. The Libertie, which was sup: 1d, bas come to life again, and is out upon General avaiguee, dealing hard blows. The friends of Na- poleon ray that he will be elected by seven tenths of the yotes; and that be will receive nearfour millions! It will be recollected that, to be chosen, he must receive a mejority ateclute and two millions. My impression is, Ubut the great question is whether ho will be choren by the constitutional majority. It appears to me to be cer- tain thst he wiil lead all others. But, besides the can- didates already named, there are Lamartine, Kaspail, Froudhon, and Bugesud, certain, and M. Thiers » little behind the curtain, waiting to take advantage of events. “Le Reunion de l’Institute” have finally adopted General Cavaignac as their candidate - a mi- nority protesting, compored of MM.

M, Betbmont has resigned his office of representative, and Marie has appointed him chief justice of the highest court in France. For this be was, yesterdey, denounced in the Assembly as having violated the constitution in letter, and # law Of the Assembly in spirit, and set a scandalous exam- je of Cflicial influence over the Assembly. ‘The result sto be hereafter made known. I think the denun- olution just, under the epirit of the provisions referred to.

The Disturbed State of the German «mpire—The Revolutionary Condition of the People. The prospect of a peaceful termination of the present political crisis in Europe 1s becoming more vague and uncertainevery day. The impossibility, it would seem, of reconciling the new principles of the liberty and self-government of the people with tke old monarchical system, has become evident almost to every one. Already the public mind hae re- nounced the hope of seeing ostablished s new order of things on the basis of that political system. There can be no manner of doubt but that matters will re- main unsettled in Europe until the old fabric of monar- chies, long gone to decay will at last wholly tumble into ruins But the time is not yet come when this will take place, and many must be the struggles before = state cf peace and order can be re-established in Eu- rope. Meanwhile, | can assure you that affairs in Germa- ny, which aow forms the very centre of the political movemenis on this continent, become worse from day today.

Quiet, nevertheless, was not re- | stored until late at night, and in an attempt made by the Burgher Guard tooclear the space before the build- ing of the National Astembly, a collision ensued, in gopeequence of which one man was killed and several wounded. This whole demonstration, if such it can be calledgin favor of the city of Vienna, has hurried on, in connexien with the victory of Prince Windisoh- gratz,a crisie in this city, the results of which it is im- porrible to foresee, The danger ia which the National Assembly was placed on the day that demonstration was made, has caused the government to take more effective mea- sures for the protection of the National Assembly end the maintenance of publio order. A proclamation of the Minister of the Interior, issued since, states that the authorities bave been directed to call into requi- sition the military on the very first occasion whep similar disturbances are to be apprehended. The complete success of Prince Windiscbgratz, and the defeat of the people of Vienna, have produced » strong reaction in favor of the government in this city.
