SUMMARY OF THE FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. The great event which occupied the attention, almost to the exclusion of all other topics, of po- htical men—not only in France, but also in a yesser degree in the other States of Europe—the impeachment, in a word, of General Cavaignac, the President of the National Assembly, and the eandidate for the Presidency of the French Re_ public, has taken place; and the result, as might heve been anticipated, was a complete triumph of the general. After a most lueid defence, which proved that Cavaignac, when put t> his mettle, knows how to speak as well as to fight, and which astonished his audience. on the motion of M. Dupont de PEure, amidst enthusiastic cheering. and ories of « Vive la Republique !” the Assembly passed to the order of the day moticé. which rune as follows :— ‘The National Assembly, persisting in its order of the day of }, decl+ ring thar Gereral ( avaienac, the chief of the exe ive power, has decerved well of his country, pases to tho order « f the day. i Phe result of the vote was as follow Number of voters... Abrolute majority. For the order of the Agatust it..... Majority The immediate resul rentes, and @ similar upward movement in our own funds. This will eufflce to show you that Cavalgnac is no mean competitor ; and though Prince Louls. on the strength of his uncle’s name, may have many votes, Cavaigoae has many supporters on account of the he has dieplayed. The appearnoce of the capital a threatening one, and a large frrce was asrembled in the precinata of the Hall of Aesembly. [ enclore you the debate in full. [It was published in esterday’s Herald.) Cavaignac’s system of allowing an insurrection to grow to a certain size before putting it down, instead of nipping it in the bud, is reverely com mented upon by rome of the ultra journals; at the pre- sent moment, however, everything is turned to account by them, for electioneering purposes. Many persons are of the opinion that this triumph of Cavaignao will tell greatly in his favor. , The non-president pacty is however, gaining ground. Louis Blanc, Proudhon, Pierre Leroux, avd their party, stoutly oppose presi- dency an being but another mask for royalty, Iam of the opinion that the month of December is likely to be a memorable one in the annals of this most memor- able year, and without wishing to act the part of a bird of ill-omen, | forebode the worst. An it ia, colli- sionstake place daily between the Garde Mybile and the line, and the National Guards. The very members,when they weet, come to words and even blows. Two members of the Mountain. M. Proudhon and M Felix Piat. had a regular ret to in one of the ante-rooms of the National Atsembly—the former flattening his adversary’s nasal organ and the other planting a well-aimed blow on theso clalist’s lip, which placed him on an equality with the floor. with which he fraternized Otherwise, there is put little stirringin France. But all parties are pre- ving fore struggle. The assassination of Count lorsi at Rome, which I mentioned in my last, had eaured rome sensation. which was increased by an at- tempt at Paris to shoot Odilon Barrot—(this may have ena mere hourebreaking affair), Two shots were fired into bis hovee. and his butler mortally wounded. Prince Louis Napoleon has at last come fairly for ward and ieaued a manifesto, which, if he acts up toin the event of his election, will be all that can be de- fired. But promises and the fulfilment of them are two very different things [The manifesto was pub- lished in yerterday’s Herald } ‘The aseassination of Count Rossi was only the pre- Jude tos popularouthreak, The i ~ perial city has ao- tually stormed the Popr’s palace. and the Romans have dipped their hands in the blood of a Cardinal For two horra the people besieged the Quirinal ; the Swira inside kept up a brirk fire upon them. and the Pope war cormpel to give in and concede a more lib- eral ministry -dinal Palma. the Pope's Secretary, ‘was struck in the forehead by a ball, and killed on the apot.

It ix not solong since Gregory XVI died ; and who would then have dreamt of barricades in the oapital and guns pointed by Romane against the gate of the Quirinal? These are tights that would have rejoiced the heart of Henry VII', or Luther, but which are a source of deep consi- deration to the thinking men of the present era.

The arrival of the Hibernia, on Monday morn" ing, at Liverpool, after a run of eleven days and a half from Boston, brought the confirmation of the intelligence of the election of General Taylor to the Presidential chair of the United States. A very tolerable notion was formed on the arrival of the previous steamer of the probable success of hiselection, which created a slight degree of satis- faction in the money market. The rise in the funds was much more considerable when it was announced asa certainty that he had been chosen, and, as [in- formed you in my last. is it considered to be an exe lent sign of the stability of your country. Soon after the mail-had left London, on Friday last, to convey the town letters to Liverpool, to be puton board the eteamer. the electric telegraph brought the news of t th of Lord Melbourne This noble. man was once a political character of some importance, having been repeatediy connected with the whiz go- vernment when in power. His most celebrated official campaign was when he held the office of Prime Minis- ter from 1885 to 1841, a period of time involving rome very diffcult political eras, It was during Lord Mel- bourne’s premiership that Queen Victoria ascended the throne of this country, and, asa natural conse quence, he may be supposed to have had considerable influence in fashioning her Majerty’s mind toe di renee of her position Being a man who hed never shone briiliantly in the hemiaphere of politics. he created few enemies and many friends. Possessed of an ample fortune, he could afford to be independent. and alow others to seize the crust which he himself had refused. Considered upon the whole, Lord Melbourne was man of conscientious motives, noble actions, and one who will cut anything rather than s mean figure in the history of his country. He was «conspicuous figure ina crim. con. action broucht against him by the Hon. Mr. Norton. The lady in the case was Mrs Nor- ton. the celebrated poetess. As the matter was fully at the time, and occupied the attention of one of our highest judicial tribunals, by which Lord Melbourne was pronounced not guilty, it would be un- fair to make farther reference to the case, than to add that, by bis official frends, it was asserted to be a po- ities] ruse on the part of the tories, to bring the go- yerpment, of which hia lordship was the chief member. into disrepute. Since the accession to power of Sir Rebert Peel, in 1841, he retired into private ife, scarcely ever even ‘attending the House of Teers when the most important questions we: likely to be discusred I have to record the death of another political characier, which took place on Wednesday last--that of Mr. Charles Buller, & much more talented, but less conspicuous, member of the government. than Lerd Melbourne.

Imention the circumatance of thts gentleman's 5 cerrion, to show you the entire want of confidence that existe in England betweon the bishops and their clergy The former being elevated to the Bench. In consideration of some political influence they or their connections may porrers, or because of excellence in pampbleteering. or from an alliance with aristocratic Ferrone, are placed so immeasurably above the ephere of the ordinary clergy. as to be unapproachable, In multitudes of cases, the diocesan does not see clergy: men after the ordination, (save at the triennial visita- tion.) where, of courte, it Is impossible to notica every one: consequently. there can scarcely be that intima: cy between them which the interests of the Church imperatively demand Of late, numerous recessions ¢f ministers bave been made from the Church. which, iv two thirds of the cases, might have been prevented, hed there been a closer bond of fellowship bot reon the bishop and his clergy.

A meeting of the Corporation was held on Tuesday, to digouss the subject, when they were of opinion that under the act constituting the reformed corporation, there is no provision made for such a case as the pre- rent one, and it was therefore firmly believed that Mr. Dunne did pot necessarily vacate his position as Lord Mayor.

Our French Correspondence. Parts, Nov, 30, 1843. The present week has been one of unusual ex- citement, First came the interpellations of M. Jules Favre, proposed on Friday to the Ministry, relating to the abuse of official influence in elee- tioneering for the Presidency. On the next day came the monster debate, on the question of the June insurrection, which was revived by General Cavaignac, with a view to profit by thia coup de Parhament in the question ot his election. What deprived these two debates of theirchief interest? was the universal conviction, that, right or wrong, a compact majority was preparedin the Assembly to support General Cavaignac. But this end was facilitated by the remarkable bungling exhibited in the mansgement of both debates. The infelicity in the selection of M, Jules Favre for an attack on any government, on the subject of the abuse of official inflaes war glaring. M. Jule: seoretary to M, Ledra Rollin, in the mémorable days which pre" coded the opening of the Assembly, and was the chief agent throvgh whom the celebrated circulars were got up, the notorious commissaries sent into the depart- ments, end an abure of power in elections practised theretofore unexampled. It was, therefore, with an ill grace, that M. Jules Favre got up in the Assembly to charge another government with abures, bad as they were, less serious than those of which he was himsely formerly an agent. No one doubted, and no one doubts, that General Cavaignao and his agents and friends have practised all the abuse they are obarged with, Thus, it is certain that puflag biographies of himeelf have been written under hi* tvperintendence, printed at the publio expense, and cirewlated gratuitously by millions in the Dopart- ments.

Jules Favre, but was of course denied, A government must be bungling ind if it cannot ex- ecuteruch matters ia @ manner enable it to di guirethem. The House gave the go-by to the motion in the usual way. by parsing to the order of the day; but rot an individual in France believes the less that all these abuses bave been practised, On Saturday the great debate onmo on, provoked by General Cavaignac himself. The question was, whetber, in the case of the June insurrestion, he or the Executive Commission, which then formed the head of the government. was to blame— did the June insurrection alluded to gain head by the negligence or incompetency of the Executive Commision, or did it gain head by the heglect or incompetency of Gen Cavaiguao or by his wilful disobedience to the orders issued by the com- mission. The debate was opened by M. Barthelemy St Hilaire, aneminent man, who had been Secretary to the Exe- cutive Commirtion. He delivered a written address, which was, in fact, a history of the state of Paris ante. cedent to the inevrrection of June. and of the affairs of June up to the appointment of Gen. Cavaignan to the dictatorship. The aim of this document was to prove that Gen. Cavalgnee had neglected or wilfally direbeyed the orders given to him by the Executive Commission, he being then Minister of War. These orders were, to collect in Paris, preparatory to the in- rurreotion. 45600 troops; and having done ao, to pre- vent the formation of barricades, by dispersing the in- surgente at the points where it was known they intend- ed to collect. before the barricades could be formed,— Gen. Ci igpac, it was affirmed. did not collect this pumber of troops. and did not disperse the insurgeata, but allowed them to raise the barricades. to obtain pos- sersion of a large portion of the capital, to entrench themeelves there, and to arsume a position so atrong ag to create an unnecessary effusion of blood. Thi: was the substance of the address of M. St Hilaire, which, however. contained avart quantity of interesting and ers of detail. janac replied in @ speech of three hours, delivered with remarkable temper and ability. He en- deavored to show that the necessary number of troops waravailable; but contended that it was not advisanie, in a military renee, to proceed, by the dispersion of the Insurgents before the formation of the barricades. as the government required, The speech of Gen.

Ledru Rollin. another member of the Executive Commission. In fine. a division was called for. when the opporition declined voting and a vote favorable to Gen Cavaignac was, of cours, pasa- ed. The most remarkable and important incident of this debate, was, the final breach declared between Gen. Cavaignac and the ultra. democratic party. head- ed byM Ledru Rollin After the speech of tha latter, Gen. Cavaignac rose and deolared, in most explicit and emphatic terms. thet an ahyrs was opened, which was final and impassable. between him and the narty of the Mouptain. represented by M. Ledru Rollin. He de- clared that it was imporrible that any reconciliation could take place between them. This debate was commenced soon after noon, and was not terminated until midoight. [t was evidently provoked by tien Cavaignac. as an expedient to pro- mote his election to the presidency He knew that he most obtain a vote of the Arsembly, no matter what the merits of the dieoussion might be, and that such a vote could not but tell to his advantage in the election, The effect ho Twill not be unmixed, although it will undoubtedly ment the number ofsuffrages in biefavor, He will gain many votes. which were doubt- ful before. owing to the suepicion entertained. that he would, in the event of his election. join the Mountain. ‘This is now out of the question.

On Tuerday, @ manifesto was isened by Prince Louis. This is generally attributed to the pen of M. Odillon Barrot. Itis however said te be concocted by a committee of the moderate party, under whose advice Prince Louis acts. You will perceive the adroitness with which itis signified tothe electors. that the leadermof the mote. @ party. who in fact include all ths great namesof France, would be willing to accept office under Prince Louis President, while it is well understood that they would refure it under General Cavaignao. Thisin iteelf will constitute a powerful claim for all thore who desire to maintain order even though they be indif- ferent an tothe form of government It is still considered certain that Prince Louis will | a large majority.

Besides this, Prince Louis will have a large support in the commer. clal clarses and in the moderate party in all parts of France. An incident took place on Friday night last. which war at first attributed to political causes. but which do pot appear to have arisen from them. The chatean of M.

It was, therefore, a great object to him, to make some coup de theatre, by which the votes and influence of this important body might be conciliated. Tho late events at Rome produced an opportunity for this, of which General Cavaignac availed bimself, with uncommon skill and tact. Intelligence had arrived that the Pope was imprisoned in the Quirinal, by the insurgents; and on Sunday a rumor was spread, that he had been drivea from Rome, and was at Civita Vecchia. Gen. Cavalgnac, without waiting for the contradiction which was almost sure to arrive, availed himerlf of this report, and sent instantly an order by telegraph to Marseilles, for four frigates, to anil for Civita Vecchia, with 3.500 troops. This move was, however, not known in Paris on Monday, when, in the evening, in an official journal, there appeared a state- ment that the Pope had been driven from Rome, ‘The Catholic party, therefore, just as Gen, Cavalgaac ex- pected, put questions to him, on Tuesday. as to what part he proposed to take in reference to the situati of the head of the Church. Whereupon, Gen, Ca- vaiguac disclosed to the astonished Assembly what he had already done, and, moreover. that he had sent M. de Courcelles, a person very acceptable to the Church, with full powers to Rome, to command the forces sent for the pereonal protection and freedom of the Pope, and to rend him, if necessary, to France. Gea. C: veignac, with equal adroitners, tusk care to avoid giving «ilence to foreigu rs by any political inter- vention in the Papal States; for the instructions of M. de Courcellen, were, distinctly not to meddle in the internal questions, but to limit himself to taking care of the person of the Pope, protecting it from vio- lation, securing ita freedom, and offering him an asylum. On Wedresday, or rather Thursday evening, after this coup de thea/re in the Assembly, a telegraphic dispatch was published. with the mews from Civita, Vecchia, di at Rome, was free, that the new ministry was ins! in office, and the Holy City perfectly tranquil.
