      . FRANCE ; J Pjfflis . SiTORDA . Y ^ The'Wixdtt Peuple' was seized yesterdw for an article attacking not * mea-« u « of the government ; batm phra «* . forth by the ConstiTOtionnel' as intended by the government to relieveis ricnltnral distress ^ ^ - , ' . ' . " „ . The article in the . ' Voix da People is written in atone whichmight serve as & model to . the moderate papers for . coolness and logic , the only strong '' eMressionbeing in the heading— 'Organisation of

      Fmine . ' Nothing can be more mischievous tb & n this absurb susceptibility ofthe government , which will not allow a word to be altered in public against a project indicr . ed in a semi-official paper . In Spain , in Prussia , even in Austria , an opposition press is allowed , in which articles daily appear with impunisy , compared to vrtilch' the article for which the * Vjix dc People' wes seized yesterday is meek . Is it to be supposed that France will endure a gag which no other government in Europe dares to impose ?

      It is impassible to conceive a more f uneas persecution than that which is waged at this menient by M . Carlier against the opposition press . Taking advantage of a decision ofthe Court of Cassation , Which has settled that pamphlets and other compositions cannot be sold without a- -booksellers ;; iffirise , ' or ' an authorisation from the prefect of .: police , this , functionary , has given notice to those ij .-who had opened their shops as a refuse to the per-• teemed liberal papers driven from the pavement , such

      i : ' . that legal proceedings willfcs adapted against as resis ) , seizures , or . persist in selling papers . Girar-: din , however , remarks . that the sentence of the Court Of Cassation , as well as the prohibition in the , law of July ; refers to pamphlets ; not-to newspapers . A letter from Verdun of the 25 th ult , states that the gendarmerie of that town had seized sixty pounds of gunpowder concealed in a cabriolet , Th * owner : succeeded in escaping , but two of his accomplices ; 'were arrested .

      : Twelve Mayors in the department of the Saoneet-Loife , notorious for their Socialist opinions , have been suspended from the exercise of their functions by order of the Minister of the Interior . — Times ' The ' " Saint Public' of Lyons of the 24 ih siates » ' that , on the previous day , a detachment of Dragoons V had been sent to St . Laurent de Mate ( Uere . ) to ?¦ : assist the authorities in shutting rip a violent club . ' i which existed in that place , and ia the arrest of ' ¦ »" ' some of the leaders of it .

      • ' --- ' Paws , Sondat . —Yesterday M . Carlier set his . sergens-de-ville on a razzia , putting to rout all the " ' little coops where old women set selling papers . All :- the prints of the opposition , whether on stall or in i ~ t SnOR , Were seized whenever found except at book-• ¦ i sellers * shops , or in the offices of the papers . ;¦ = Half Paris was bewildered by this sweeping stroke , ¦ and" no one coald get bis * Siecte , ' ' National , * ^ '' ¦ p resse , ' or any other liberal paper , unless he was a oj jregular subscriber , or went to the above-mentioned ^ Sanctuaries , which the' police , does not invade / ' [ Three thousand copies of the ffivenement' were ,, sold under xhaporti cochere , in the R ^ eMontmar-. 1 , 1 tin , which opens to the oflice of the' Press * .

Prondhun ' s paper , i'l-fiie * V « ix du People , ' was yesterday fined 200 f . by - 'thd Police Court of Paris for having refused to in' >'• seft a reclamation of the Prefect of Felice until the

      price of the insertion , calculated at the rate of an '" advertisement , was paid . ); .-. ; - ; Ail the socialise clubs in the banlteue of Paris have , , been _ . c ' osed by order of the authorities . That of - ^ iloptwnil was shut up yesterday . fit- cTfae Abbe Chatel was yesterday condemned by default , ' by the Conrl of Assizes ofthe Seine , to '• one ' - ' year ' s imprisonment and 500 fr . fine , for an outrage on public morality and religion in a speech ' ,-which he delivered at a political meeting at the '' S ^ I ori ' de Mars . The Government has abolished the hospitals for the instruction of surgeons destined for the army on account of their Republican tendencies .

      Two years ago Lord Brougham was anxious to become a citizen of the French R public , and a representative in the Constituent Assembly . His ambiti" n on that occasion was balked by M . CreuuVux , - the Mimst-r of Justice , who doubted the republicanism of the noble and learned lord , and called upon him to show his sincerity by , in the fint instance , resul t ing his s-at in the House of Lords . The aoblf and learned ex-Chancellor not being prepared to make that sacrifice , was , much to his regret , iforced to abandon bis laudable wish to he-tow npon iFrance the benefit of his eloquence and parliamentary experience , and the Peers of England have , con' sequently . not been deprived of the assistance of their' rather vohvile * colleague . / . The conduct of M . Cremieux in destroying any -hope that France might have entertained of seeing

      Lord Brougham among the number of her represen tatives , has evsr been a subject of deep regret to the noble lord himself , and it appears to prove to that country how deep a loss she has suffered . Not being able to appear in the Assembly , be recenlly gave the learned world of Paris a touch of bis quality in a speech on a scientific subject ; and he has now con descended siill further , by appearing in one of the most obscure of the provincial courts of the department of the Var , in the humble quality of his own counsel . It will be gratifying to the noble lord ' s fellow-peers to know that his success in this new capacity was almost as great as in any of the efforts with which their lordships are so familiar . The event is interesting in itself ; and it becomes the more so , from the fact of its being the first time the noble lord has ventured to favour the world with a

      speech , since he was so nnmercifally belaboured by Lord Stanley . The following letter , which appears in a Paris paper of Tuesday morning , gives so graphic an account of the event , that it appears to bear the stamp of being from his own eloquent pen : — Cannes , 22 nd April Lord Brougham , alter harimj resided for lome weeks in lib chateau at Cannes , was desirous , before taking his departure fur London , to defend his rights in person before the civil tribunal of Grasse . The Cicero of England has pronounced , before a most brilliant audience , his speech prodmoixa . The question at issue bad reference to the building of a cistern for the supply of water to the chateau . -The cistern had been constructed nearly twelve years ago , and the bill paid , but his lordship now says that the cistern js badly constructed , and consequently the water bad . The illustrious advocate defended himself with , the vigour , talent , and eloquence which for a long time past Europe is delighted to admire , in one ot the most eminent orators of

      Great Britain . Such a tonne fortnne tor a tribunal little accustomed to the display of sach talent— talent which is sufficiently rareamong us—and you will have no difficulty in beliering that the hall was filled with a curious and delighted crowd . All the strangers of distinction who have feed their residence at Cannes were present on this occasion in the Palace of Justice of Grasse , one of the most beautiful buildings of the kind in Europe . Lord Brougham , lilce an ableadrocate , spoke in his own cause in a very modest but precise tone , but in a style of eloquence that was astounding , especially in a foreigner . But little toy little , quirting the personal question for general considerations , with respect to property aad sacred rights , the aoMe lord rose into strains of high eloquence . The audience became esihusiastic ; the bar , the magistrates , and all the auditors hastened to offer him their felicitations and their jbomage . Lord Brougham has left for England . -

      The result is not given in the above letter , but the case was a bad one , and it appears that , notwithstanding the eloquence displayed , the court gave It hollow against his lordship . There is an old saying with respect to persons who plead their own causes—but there is no use in quoting it .

      THE PARIS ELECTION . This important event came off on Sunday and Monday last . In the course of the preceding day the order-mongers had laboured unceasingly for the success of their man , Leclere . On Saturday that party published the following announcement : — * M . Say has withdrawn in favour of M . Leclere from his candidateship as representative for Paris . . He requests bis friends to give their Totes to M . Leclere / The . Order journals also announced that' In spite of the contradictious of the Red journals General Cavaigaac has declared , for the second time , that he has gives his adhesion to the caridfdatesbip of M . Leclere / - ¦•• "; - ' •'

      . Then Mowed the announcement , ' that ^ General Lamoriciere had opened a subscription to defray the expenses of M . Leclero ' s election , and has himself subscribed 108 f ; " ! ' ! The' Daily News' correspoadent ; writes- ^ 'Some ofthe electioneering dericei . resorted to by the moderate party are very like the worst : which , ' that party imputes to its adversaries . Thus I noticed todays flaming red placard , addressing itself visibly to the democratic eye , sed insiduously preferring the title of Leclere as a democratic candidate ' to , that of Eugene : Sue , who is described as an effeminate voluptuary . This is addressed to workmen and signed by a workman . . Another dodge : ms to engage the democrats to abstain altogether from toting for either of the candidates . ' One of the placards ran M followsi : — , ; , !

      : ELECTION OF EUGENE SUE . ' Writing on Tuesday the 'Daily News ' , correspondent ( as did the corwspbrident ' s . of all the other papers ) ahounced that the Reds , were victorious ,- " The Paris election has been decided in favour of Eugene Sue . ¦ The , latest state of the poll reported givrs 126 , 966 votes to Soe , and 116 ; 211 . loLeclercv This statement comprises the 12 arrondissements of Paris , the arrondissements of , St . Dennis ; arid Sceaux , arid thearmyl To rerider it complete . 'the results in 8 sections of the .. banlieue are wanting , and the votes of the riayy . Tbis supplenierit will

      not modify the main result in any . important way ; it will , in fact , ; swell the majority of 11 , 000 already gained by . tlie socialists candidate . The certainty of M .: Sue ' s election was known between nine and ten last night , when sufficient progress bad been made in the examination . of the ballot fo foresee a majority of several thousand votes in his favour . Many ascribe , the success of the . socialists to the imprudent measures taken during the last days by the excutive , and the imprudent words uttered . by the . organ- of the excutive .. About M .. Carlierfs interdiction of tbe sale of the opposition papers en masse there is but one opinion among sane persons . '

      A fall of 70 centimes at the Bourse yesterday , indicated the reaction which had taken place in the hopes ofthe Moderates . "'" .. ' . ' .. The same correspondent ,. writing " on Tuesday evening says , thus once more . the red has won . Once more nearly 130 , 000 men of Paris and the harilieue have borne the . champion of Democracy and Socialism triumphant into the National' Assembly . On the 10 th of March they "did homage "to the in surrection of June ; on the 28 th . of April they Confirmed the revolution of February . We shall now

      see whether the government will have the pluck to fulfil the promise of . its , organs ,, and aim a blow . at universal suffrage . The electoral '; law wh i ch is to be brought forward , will nowbs the great question ; A collision , between ? the legislature and Socialists seems inevitable . ¦ No one can doubt the will ofthe Assembly to modify the ¦ principle of isriiversarsuf fragein . away that would put an end once for all to the possibility of repeating such results as the last two Paris elections have . brought to light . As little can the determination of the voters for

      Eugene sue and De Fiotte be doubted , to resist , if necessary by armed rebellion , the imposition of such a law . Now one fact has been brought out in this last election quite as significantly as on the ' 10 th of March , and that is' the democratic tendency of the army . If we suiistract . the republican guard and the Invalides , which fb ' rrri a cfienfefe of the government , the military voters of Leclere will be found reduced to an insignificant number . Fourfifths of the soldiers voted for Sue . Supposing the provincial members of the arrriy to be animated by the same spirit , a legion of Charigarnier could never bring four-fifths of the troops to act ; in the teeth of their own convictions and csriscierices .

      The correspondent of . the / 'Chronicle' writes as follows : — 'My letter of this ( Tuesday ) morning has informed you that M . Eugene Sue is the successful candidate for . Paris , and that M . Leclere , the candidate of the party of order , has been signally defeated . Tbe blow is the severest that the party of order has received since its formation ; The election was a regular stand-up fight between the two opponents . The party of order itself did not mince the ^ question . Throughout the struggle' the Conservative organs took pains to declare that the fight was between Monarchy and Republic . ; and upon that ground they have fought the battle , and lost it .

      ITALY . Letters from Some of the * 19 th , state that a grand ceremony was performed at Rome oh the preceding afternoon . The Pope , standing on a stage erected at the foot of the Vatican steps , Rave his benediction to the French army of occupation assembled in the piazza of St . Peter ' s to the number of 8 , 000 men . On one side of Wi Holiness stood the French Cardi : rial Dupont , arid on the other . the absolutist minister , Cardinai ^ Antonelli . .. ' < . ¦? The following is from the correspondent of the ' Morning Chronicle' — The French General , Baragnay d'HHHers , has shown himself , by an order of the day , highly pleased at the

      condescension of , his Holiness , and informs his . soldiers that they are to receive the benediction of the Holy Father , which" will secure to . " them ; victory . . Now , amongst these soldiers'there are . Protestants , Jews , and also Bedouins , who were" to receive ' par force' a blessing which they have no faith in . ' It is realty a farce to see French soldiers and officers kissing tbe Pope ' s ' tqei buying chaplets , getting thera blessed , cic . ; the ' very men that would unite with the Romans ; to cut the throats of the priests , if the parti soeialiste were to ; have the upper hand in France , I -will , hbweveri' leave the . conduct ^ df the French government in the affairs . of Rome to a

      more able pen : bat " I cannot refrain from making reference to the proclamations of General Oudinot when he landed at Civita Vecchia , arid comparing these documents . to . the subsequent conduct of the French and to General Baragnay d'Hilliers' order of the day . Any impartial Englishman , whatever rriay ^ be his political coiour ^ Tory ^; Whig , or Radical--will , in my opinion , pronounce the French expedition to ' Roiae as ari . act not ; to be justified , and the conduct of the French government , in per mitting—I would rather say , , protecting—the crriel reaction and persecution by the Cardinal Triumvirate and Inquisition , as most iniquitous : -

      ; -His' Holiness has now been iri Rome nearly a week , and during thiafpe ' riod his Whole time . has been taken up io ! coartesy to ' . ' French authorities aridbfficers ; , eyeri , the sub-prefect br ' the police ( one of the ' emp % e * of Charlea X . ) has been made a chevalier ; and whilst his Holinees has refused to give . audience to his Roman and personal friends ; he has taken no steps-whatever to alleviate the suffering of his . people .. In short , it is'clear that this country is to be governed ' withi ;^ tribre ; severity . thandriring ^ g bry Xvlly ^^ t ' p ^ ied J and such' a government in the 19 th ' century-pcomposed of priests , inqui * itorsr and Jesuits—ia to be pro tected by foreign bayonets i ; : I can only say that it is a refined cruelty on the put of those govern * ments who grant such protection , ' without ; using UiejrinflMaee to ¦ see jo « tiW / ' eoai ^ 'ina ^ nielrcf

      . ' . SPAIN . ' ¦* ¦¦¦ : , . Another of those palace intrigues has taken place which have acquired' for Spain an unenviable notoriety , and which excite the wonder , and pity , of the rest of . the vrorld . It appears iliat the Kmg-Gonsort has made another attempt to get'rid of Narvaez ' aiid his . colleagues , with whomhehas been long on bad terms i and that he threatened , if his wishes were not acceded to , that he would publish aparriphlet , which he has kept for some , time past in terrorem over his faithful spouse , which would seriously compromise the legitimacy of the . expected heir-to the

      throne . Maria Christina was , as usual .-called in to set matters right } but , having failed in inducing the King to . alter his intentions , Narvafz . with her corjcurrence and 'with the consent of-Queen Isabella herself , took > the ( in Spain ) ordinary . cou rse of ; making his Majesty Don Francisco a ^ prisoner in his own palace , and by the latest , accounts received by the ordinary ; post' he ' was ' . still , ' in his apartments , with sentinels at all . the , doors , who , had , orders not to allow him to leave the palacpy and ; a regiment of-ir ) fantry in the stables to prevent the egress of horses or carriages .

      Later accounts state that the affiirs has been settied in an amicable manner .- ' '¦ The King-Consort has made an apology to the . Queen for his behaviour--has" assured Narvaezqf his anxiety that he should remain at the head of the government—and has , as usual , betrayed his friends . .-
