      ' FRANCE . ROTTURB WITH ENGLASD . In our latest edition of lastSawtdi , V StM , ' we briefly announced tie recall of the . French Ambassador from this country . We now pre the particulars in full , as contained , in the report of the proceedings in the National Assembly , on Thursday May 15 tb . Gener a l Bed e au , one of the vice-presidents , took the chair at half-pa » t one . A number of petitions against the bill to modify the Klectoral Law were presented by MM . Delbecqae , A ma ud ( de Var , ) Banul , Periuon , Tes t elin , De Hotte , & i . The order of the day , was the interpellations of M . Piscatory on the affair of Greece .

      General de la Hitte , the Minister of Foreign Aff a i r s , ascended the tribune , and said : Gentlemen , in the sitting of Saturday last I had the honour of announcing to the Assembly that , in ransequence of the failure of our good offices in the negotiations pursued at Athens , the Government Of the ft- public had considered it itatfatyto applj to theEmlish Govemment fer explanations . . The reply which * as given us nrit being such as we had right ( o ioek for , considering the good intelligence which existed between the two countries , the

      President of the Republic , after having taken the advice of his coiini . il , gave me orders to recall from London our Ambassador . ( A loudhnrstof cheering f rom the Right , clapping of hands , cries of ' fcravc-, bravo ! ' renewed cheers , and clapping of- ' hands from the same quarter ; the Left all this time re-Stained silent . The approbation continued at least five minutes . ) In order to make the Assembly aware of the mo ' -ives which actuated the Government to come to thisd-cision , I . cannot do better than read to you the letter which I addressed to M . Drouvn de Lhuys on this subject : —

      ' TO SI . BUOUTS DB LHUYS , FRENCH AMBASSADOR AT LONDON . « Paris , May 14 th , 1850 'Monsieur—As I had the honour of announcing to you yesterday , the council has deliberated on the reply of the Cabinet of London , which you had been directed to transmit to us . My preceding despatches must have caused you to anticip-rfe the decision of the Government of the Republic ; France , in a spirit of kindness and peace , had decided to interpose her good offices , for the purpose of terminating on honourable conditions the - difference which had arisen between Great Britiau and Greece . It had been agreed that the coercive measures

      already employed by England -should be suspended during the course of-the mediation , and that if an arrangement deemed fit to be accepted by the French mediator should be rejected by the British media tor , the latter should refer the matter 10 London before again having recourse to fyrce . We had received , on this latter point , the most formal promises , which , how e ver , have not been observed . This deplorable consequence has resulted therefrom , that at the moment when a convention , negotiated directly and definitively agreed to between the

      Cabinets of Paris and London , was on the point of arriving at Athens , where already the essential bases of it were known , Greece attacked afresh by the naval forces of Great Britian , in -spite of the energetic representations made by the French envoy , was obli ged , in order to escape complete ruin , to accept , without discussion , the clauses of an ullissatttm infinitely more rigorous [ bien autremenl xigoureuses . ) On learning the strange result of our mediations , we desired to see in it only the effect of a misunderstanding .

      * ffe had hoped that the Cabinet of London ,, like m , considering as of no effect ( twtt-aoemts ) the facts so much to be regretted by every one , and w hic h had taken place only in consequence of the violation of an engagement entered into with us , would maintain the convention which had been agreed to . You bad been charged to apply to it to d o so ; and that demand not having been acceded to , it has appeared tons that the prolongation of your sojourn in London is no longer compatible with the dignity of the Republic .

      * The President has ordered me to direct you to return to France , after having accredited M . Mareschalchi as Charge d'Affaires . He has also directed me to express to yon all the satisfaction which the Government of the Republic feel at the zeal , ability , spirit of conciliation , and firmness united , w hich y ou have a lw a y s s hown in 'the course Of a negotiation the non-success of which was not your fault . ' You T viU be pleased to communicate to Lord Palmerston the present despatch . ( Signed ) 'La IIitte . ' ( Loud cheers again burst out here as before . ) Gen . ilemen ( continued the honourable Minister , ) I have laid on the table the documents connected with this

      negotiation . You will perceive , I am inclined to think on perusing this voluminous collection , that the acts and intention of the Government of the Republic are not undeserving of your approbation . ( Cheers . ) I have to propose to you to order that the documents be printed . ( Hear , hear . ) The Assembly , being consulted , ordered the printing of the decuments almost unanimously . General Cavaignac , M . Gustave de Beaumont , and two or three other members of the tiers parti , stood up on the negative side of the vote . When the Minister descended "from the tribune , he was surrounded and complimented hy a crowd of representatives , amongst whom were MM . Thiers , Mole , Piscatory , Larochejaqueliu , Admiral Dupetit-Thocars , General Changarnier , & c .

      The sitting was then suspended for half an hour , amidst the utmost agitatien ; the members of the Ei ght assembling in the centre , discussine the communication made , whilst the Left remained impassive as before . It will be seen from the above that the announcement of the recall of the Ambassador was received with thunders of applause by the Conservative benches ; while the Opposition received it with marked coldness and evident displeasure . '

      THE CONSPIRACY TO DESTROY UNIVERSAL SUFFRAGE . The ' Presse' of Wednesday publishes the following petition , leaving two columns-in blank for signatures — * To the Members of the Legislative Assembly . — Representatives of the people , —The deputy { mandataire ) who destroys the right of the constituent ( mandcxt ) destroys bis mandate . This is the princi ple ; deduce the const quence . To vote for the bill on the electoral law which is presented to you is to vote a law upon which a decree may be founded to pronounce your dissolution , tud to declare that you have ceased to be the faithful representatives of

      the electoral majority . Tbi ' loi-baroche is under another form the * proposition Rateau . '—The chief editor of the' Press , Emile de Gibardin . This was signed in one day b y 10 , 000 persons . LEON EAUCHEIt ' s ESPORT ON THE ELECTORAL LAW . In the cbamber , on Saturday , M . Leon Faueher said : Gentlemen , I have the honour to lay before jou the report of the committee of the Assembly on the electoral law . £ Read it ! read it ! ' ) Since our firs t r e volu t ion , from 1789 to 1 S 48 , France has passed under many rales , and proved the most diverse forms of government . From liberty the most unlimited to despotism the most absolute , we have run through every degree of the political

      scale . Sometimes the governing power has widened its base so as to rest upon the votes of five or six millions of citizens ; sometimes it has contract d this so as to comprehend no more than 80 , 000 electore . The most esntrary combinations have been emp loyed , and as . mu . ch has been done to extend as to restrain the rights which belong is a free country to citizens . Meanwhile , among £ o man y innovations , there is one wsach the boldest minds have not perceived or the mosS comprehensive laws embraced before our own epoch . Universal and direct suffrage figures in no one cf the five or $ ix constitniions which mark the changes from 1791 to 1801 . None of ali those which have been

      placed in practice have called all Frenchmen to elect their representatives without eny intermediary agency , and thus to take ,, so to speaV , an active part in the direction of the state . The revolution of 1848 has first introduced this new public right into France . HetRithttanding the incontestible progress made by our society during the last sixty years , the attempt was not without peril . Its success was hszirded by the absence of all limit , rule , or guarantee for its right exercise . The decree

      of the provisional government ( March 5 , 3848 , ) while conferring the suffrage on all persons twenty-one years of age , required a residence of omrsix months as a qualification for inscription on the electoral list of the commune . ' But tifefestrucuon issued on the 8 th of March , dispensing vyith proof Of majority , auowin ^^^ vot ° in another commune than that of their residence , effaced the last trace of that feeble gnarautee The constitution of l 9 iS wisely abandoned to the Un the care of or | au » uig the right of political

      suffrage . But ^ how ^ has this duty - 'been ; fulfilled ? The organic law bf ^ March 155 1849 , ; contented itself with . merely ; g Hwg ' . jjTtiQre iformal ; sanction to the decree of the government " : it rendered the six months residence mote imperative , but ne g lected to require any legal proof of the- « ame . Tinai is all that has hitherto been , done in ; the interest of society at a time when tie most immoral scepticism is working incessantly to dissolve and destroy , andwhen aharchyVattacks ft iff froht . On examining the economy of our electoral system without prejudice , we cannot but be astonished at one thing , namel v-that our . ma s ses ,, whether urban or rural ,

      should ' baveso well resiste ^ . ^ m ^^ influence of this want of rule , this indifference of the law . Still with every trial of universal suffrage , thus understood , the confusion becomes more manifest and the peril greater . Each elecuonhas double the anxiety of public opinion . We must perceive in these circumstances one of those necessities which are imposed on all enlightened minds . Thenct ; prdceei the propositions we now make , and to the examination of which we invite you . The governmen t t hinks that our ' electoral systetn is defective and dangerous . We participate in this conviction in the highest degree . The government has judged this to be the moment to revise and correct the

      electoral system ; in the attempt it thus makes to secure a moral and political benefit v ? e believe the assembly will not refuse its concurrence . In the op inion of your committee the government and the assembly are agreed on the end to be sought . Are the reforms which this project of law seeks to introduce into bur electoral system within the - limits which the fundamental law has laid down , and have they all the efficacy which the situation demands ? Such are the pVihts we now propose to discover . The entire economy of the project resides in . . two principal . dispositions ; that which determines the conditions of the electoral domicile , and thatwhich t ' xtends the domain of . the existing l e gal elec to ral

      incapacity . Theprrjectbf law requires . ta r e e years residence in the commune , on the list of which the elector is to be inscribed . Has the constitution made the fact of domicile a condition 6 f the exercise of the . suffra g e ? . One can hardly , doubt it oh consulting the text and interpreting it , , ' in ; ' , good faith . By the terras of art . , 30 the . elec t ion i s made by departments by examination of the list , and the electors vote at the ' chief place of the canton .- The constitution then requires that each elector shall exercise hia-fights in the canton to which he belongs , that he should vote in t he place of his ha b ita t ion , " the seat of his social interests , and in the midst of his relationships . ' The

      right of election becomes thus in some sort , the right of citisensbip . The law of the . ioth of March acknowledges and consecrates the obligations , of the domicile ; but it renders at the same time this condition illusory , by reducing it to a _ -residence of six months . " It results from this that ' the elector may successively ' vote for several departments during the existence of the same parliament . The . righfof suffrage becomes , as it were , m o bilised , in st ead ; of attached to . the family and fixed . The law seems to challenge theelettor to a nomade existence ; it presents to him the temptation to engage in party combinatrons which can , at a . g iven momen t , 'b y means of a floating population , create a majority ; at-hazard .

      The Constitution of the first republic , seeing farther than the law of March 15 th , required the , elector to reside a year in the canton in which he should vote . But it also added to this . regulation guaranteesof anot her na t ure in the in te res t of s ocie t y ; on the o ne hand , the legislature required a maturity of judgment guaranteed b y t he . age of twenty-five years ; on the other hand it sought guarantees fur social order in the situation of these who contributed ; under , a d i rec t f o rm to the " charges ' of the state . Often two degrees of election were established . ' The constitution of : 1848 neither requires nor admits any other qnal . ficatibn than that of domicile . This is one reason for rendering that condition more significant . A

      residence of six months opens the door to all sorts of fraud . When the law shows itself so indulgent , great scrupulosity is not to be expected of those who are charged to execute it : The elector expressing an op inion whichi s pe r sonal t o himself , also emi ts a collective vote ; he is insp ired wi t h t he o pinions and interests in the midst of which he is habituated to live . There"is no citizenship without the city . That is an incomprehensibl e ri jht of suffrage which is claimed for an isolated individual , wandering about as a stranger in his own country , who holds in reality to no social aggregation ; for then he ceases to represent that mutual reciprosity of interests which is the bond of men in society . The project of law

      mates the electoral domicile result from continuous habitation of three years , vhat is to : say , during the continuance of one parliament . Less cannot he requ red to constitute in seriousness a domicile . Every narrower limit would- establish an inequality among the electors by conferring upon , some a virtually double vote . To this is to be added that the delay of thr « -eyears is not excessive , representiiig . no mor e than the time necessary to incorporate a citizen and his family in a communal aggregation .-. -. The . electoral domicile , in order to become a certain right , must have its proper rules '; it is not a right that can be left to the apprec a < ion of magistrates . The government has thought that of all the

      circumstances which could characterise the continuity of habitation during three years the most eligible was the inscription on the list of personal contributions . We believe that this will be the bestprcpf of domicile , and prefer it in as no degree possessing an exclusive character . The following are the terms of the project of law ;—Art . I . Within the twenty da y s succeeding the promulgation of the present' law , the electoral lists sV > all be prepared by the mayor , assisted by two delegates for each commune , chosen by the justice of the ppace and the resident inhabitants of the canton . Tee . delegates will have the rig ht to e nter t heir obs er va t i o ns in t he proces verbaux . The proces verlaux will be deposited by the

      mayor , with the electoral lists , w i t h t he s e cre t ary of the mayoralty , to be inspected by any persons interested in them . — -Art . 2 . The lists will comprehend , in alphabetical order , thenames of—l . ' . 'All Frenchmen who have completed their 21 st year , enj o ying civil and political rights , at that time domiciled in the commune , and who have been so for three years at least . 2 . Those who , not' having attained the prescribed age , at the opening of the lists , s hall do so before theydefinitively clrise . —Art . 3 . The electoral domicile will he proved , first , by inscription on the list of . personal taxation' ; second , by the ' declar . ation of fathers and mothers , domiciled for three years , as far as regards sons above twenty-one residing und < r the paternal roof ; third , ma st ers and pa t ro n s may a ns wer for servan t s or workmen of age who may b e in t h e ir emp loy , if dwelling in t he s am e

      house or on the premises . —Art . 4 . Public funciioriarieswillbe inscribed on the list . of the canton in which they reside irrespective of three years' residence , if they have been three years in the public service . —Art . 5 . Soldiers and sailors actually serving shall b e inscr i bed on t he li s ts o f t he commune i n which they muster .-Art . 6 . The declarations of parents , masters , or . patrons , shall be made by fill , i ng up a form , to be-provided gratis . The parents , & 3 ., nho certify in these cases must present the certificate to the mayor , attended by two witnesses dor micilfd in the commune . Every false declaration will be punishable before the ' coUrts of correction by fines of from lOOf . to 2 , 000 f ., by imprisonment of from six months to two years' duration , and b y inc a paci tat ion to vo t e or be el e c t ed for a minimum o f five or a maximum of ten years .

      At Montereau a clandestine manufactory of gunpowder has been discovered by the fact of an explosion having taken place which blew off the roof of the house . An apothecary and a medical student were found concealed and half burnt from the effects of the explosion . Important papers have been found on them ..- The * Patrie' says ; - — ' We learn from a person in a position to be well informed thatat La Viletie on Saturday a clandestine manufactory of gunpowder was discovered , and that a certain number of arrests were effected in consequence .

      pipvernment , as well as the British people , must fe . member that Greece at this instant is in a state of utter poverty . ; Instead of making a demand upon Greece with which it will be impossible' for her to ompl y , . it would be' much more natural if some benevolent persons in England were to raise a sub . scription for the relief-of-the owners of shi ps and the poor fishermen and boatmen who suffered by the embargo . vBy a clause in Mr . Wyse ' s protocol ' or the adjustment of the Angloiftreek question , it

      is stipulated that at . no future period shall any claim be made upon . England for injuries sustained by Greek suhj « cts during the blockade . ! , That chance of obtaining remuberausm is thereforb cut off from those who suffered b ' y the coercive measures ; nor can they with any legal right make a demand for compensation upon their own government , which moreover is not in a posi t i o n to g ive these p 30 r people any efficient-relief . There are many merchants and manufacturers in England who carry oa

      an . enormous a » d . most' lucrative trade with Greek houses i » the Levant . These men would hi merely performing a duty in coming to the relief of those poor peop le . in , Greece who have suffered by the blockade . The , consequences of the deplorable Anglo-Greek , question , together with the very severe winter which has just passed , have thrown this country back half a century ; indeed it has but-very little chance of recovering at all , unless it receive some relief like that I have suggested .
