LoNDon, Oct. 16, 1869, The London Times to-day, commenting on the situation in France, says:— The jealous and inconsistent policy which woula allow and forbid public meetings at the same time exceeds our comprehension. To permit citizens to assemble and leave it to the police to stop discussicn is adding insult to injury. The Rea of confidence made by the government ts lenied by its acts.

This comparatively light attendance is caused by the fact that the dole- gations have been cut down to very small repre- Sentations, and in many instances to one in eight and ten of the number which come for the pur- pose of taking part in its deliberations and business, ‘This provision has lessened the crowd very much, though the mterest is perhaps increased, as the business is loboied outside. A large amount of pri- vate interest ts evidently being manipulated by the hordes of wonld-be representatives of every thought, {dea, scheme and conceit of the present inventive age. There are innumerable confiicting interests, too, at work, and a principal object of the opposition will be to prevent the objects of their rivals from making or securing any grand tmpression. Tho diverse interests of the various elements will pre- vent aby unanimous action on anything being effected of a special character. The parquet of the Opera House was provided for the distinguished personages who are invited to participate in delibe- rations, The large body of individuals who ap- peared there were remarkable for their general intelligence and impressive personne? and physique. Among these I noted Mr. Jesse Grant, ex- Governor Oglesby, of Illimols; Governor Bullock, of Georgia; H. S. Foote, of Tennessee; Charles Reemlin, a noted writer; General John C. Brecktn- ridge, General Albert Pike, General Chilton, Gen- eral Young, General Williams, Major Courtenay, of Baltimore; Mr. William M. Corry, editor Commoner; General Thomas and other notable civilians and military characters, There were many disappointed persons, who lingered about the doors and objected to the no entrance order which prevented their pre- sence in the hall, Astrong police force was in at- tendance, andere was most admirable order kept, much more so than prevailed inside, The delegates represent nearly every State in the Union, and thus make the Convention a nationat rather than sectional affatr, as the original call under the term Southern implies, The various in- torests which 1t proposes to canvass also make it peculiarly national. whe broad views which it com- prehends are also of national interest, but the see- tonal oo clash so materially that we suspect there will be stormy debates and the time of the ses- sion will be very much friitered away in minor mat- ters. ‘There are numerous games to be played and objects to be attained, and the manipulators will labor hard to secure the endorsement of the Conven- Mon on their polivy. The arrival of ex-President Millard Fillmore was greeted by an enthusiastic welcome and long-con- Unued applause. Ex-Governor Anderson, the Prest- at of the late Memphis Convention, called the onvention to order and defined its object in a few woll-arcanged, sensible and practical sentences, Governor Stevenson, of Kentucky, then welcomed the delegates to Louisville. His aacress was pointed, short and eloquent, it was received with much ac: clamation and long-coutunued applause.
