Popular election, with the blind and clumsy machinery of uaiver- sal suffrege, is to be consulted next week; but to-day, to-morrow, immediately on the receipt of orders from the Minister of War, the officers in command of detachments throughout France are to take the votes of the troops, on what is ludicrously termed & plebiscitum, investing Louis Napoleon with absolute power, The army is, therefore, directed by its votes as well as by its arms, vir- tually to decree the form of the government, and to an- ticipate the choice of the people.

Everything was ready for it; the generals of the division of Paris were all in favor ofthe Primce; the chiefs of the National Guard bad been changed apropos; and the Assembly was not aware that any attempt would ever be made, that apy step would ever be taken by the chief of the executive-power against it. Consequently, éuring the night, orders were sent to all the regi- ments to take possession—Ist, ef the building of the National Assembly; 2d, of all the principal pointe where it is ordinarily necessary, in time of a revolution, to place troops; 3d, the officers were ordered te get supplies of wine and liquors for their soldiers, as much as they desired. tionaries whose support they cannot rely on—to require all these functionaries to give in, in writing, their adhesion to the great measure aAopted by the govern- ment—instantly to arrest every one who should attempt to disturb public tranjuility—and to suspend cvery journal whese arguments might be hostile ” Upon ‘the obedience or resistance of the civil and militery au- thorities France to theee orders depends at this momeut the success or failure of this dering at- tempt, and the still wider uedtion of peng war, The celebrated circulars of M.

Bur though nothing has been respected, and even the Court of Gaseation the last sanctuary of civil justice, has been intimidated and dissolved by troops, the uniform obedience cf an army of 400,000 men, of « scarcely leas numerous host of public functionaries, and of a nation of thirty-six millions, to orders entirely devoid of pre- tence of legality, would be to us the most a: ing oc- currence which even the I'rench revolution hag brought forth Such proceedings resembie Mallet’s comspiracy more than the deliberate acts of a party.

His measures against the press will be every- where regarded as a tacit admission that public opinion might probebiy declare against him, were it left free to form itself under its ordinary instrac- tors, and to find vent through its regular channels. Surely this isa narrow and short sighted policy, eminently calculated to bring about the very result it deprecates.
