      • ' ¦ ¦ FRANCE . ; / Paws , Saturday . —The Approaching Elkc' KONs ^ -The delegates of the Socialists had a formal meeting last nigBt to consider the question of the choice of the candidates on the Republican and Socialist interests at the approaching elections for the ' departmen t of the Seine . The meeting wasengaged - in hearing the opinions of the different candidates , and deliberating on the choice till ten o ' clock this " moraing , ivhen they came to a resolution , by a larg # ' majority ,, that the candidates chosen b y the majority * of the meeting should Tiave the support of the whole - of the united parties . M . Enile de Girardin at * tended the meeting for the purpose of explaining . bis principles . Ultimately a ballot was taken ! when ¦ the vote was declared to be in favour of the

      following names , who may be considered the Socialist candidates : — - : 1 . M . Fraugois Tidal , ex-delegate of the Luxembourg . 2 . M . de Flotte , ex-officer of the French array . It trill be renumbered that he was deeply implicated in the affair of the 15 th of May . 3 . Carnot . Minister of Public Instruction under the Provisional Government . The Citizen de Flotte must not be confounded ' . with the Cuisinier Flotte , the friend of Blanqui . He Js a Republican and Moataenard . After serving for many years as a Hentenant in ihe French army he was obliged to leave it on account of hu repubb-. ' canisui , and has since been frequently imprisoned ( or

      ' his political opinions . , ] M . Frangois Vidal is a well known Socialist ¦ writer . . , . As to M . Carnot , be is best known as me son ot the great Carnot , who was Minister of War during - the first revolution . His own principal political act was the famous circular which , as Minister of Public " Instruction , he addressed to the primary teachers of " France . A n-a fa !; e « ' of merchants , operatives , and others , had previ "U 3 ly voted the following address to the delegates chosen by the Democratic Socialist Elccitoraf Committee : — 'Citizen Delegates—We must .- be either Rovalist or R « publican . At present every

      Royalist is a conspirator . The duty of each of m ' is " to support the Republic . In order to sustain it ' -we must be united . Union is force . The operative and the merchant are united W thi ' it feelings and their interests , which are common . They must therefore remain united , particularly for the elections . Tne success of the Democrats in the elections for ParisVsnll have an immense effect throughout France :. The impulse from Paris will be decisive , for Paris is at once the head and the heart of France . The merchants , consequently , comprehending all the importance of the situation of affairs , acd in order to secure the triumph of the Republic , declare that they will adhere to the list , whatever it may be , that shall be selected bv the Democratic Socialist

      Committee . : The ' Sieele , ' the 'National , ' the ' Presse , ' and several other Moderate papers , as well as the ' Repnblique * and •• Vcix da Peuple , " accept the Socialist list as ihe definitive one , and call ou all their frientU to supaort it . The ' Press ? . in giving the list says : — However significant the names of Leflsite , ' Vidal , and Carnot may be , there is reason for asto--nitbmeat that they are not still more extreme . They sigfiify a protest , in the name of violated justice , against transporcatior . without trial ; a protest , in the name ofenli ; htened Socialism , against the pretended Infallibility of the police ; end a protest , in 'the name of suppressed liberty , against the prosecution of the schoolmasters . It is enough that these " namesshould have this signification to induce us to

      rail ? round them without hesitation , and without our remembering that the name of the former Minister of Public Instruction was preferred to that of the chief editor of the ' Presse . ' We more than * ever persist in thinking that , if there is still time to stop the government and the majority in their pro" gress towards the fatal precipice which is leading [ them to their doom , it will only be arrived at by voting deliberately on the 10 th of March for the list adopted this morning by the central committee of the Republican delegates . Perhaps other names - mig ht have had a better chance of success , but these ' names hare been chosen . We must think no more ' of it . Let there be no tardiness , and no sterile recriminations . We must now look but to one end and one means . '

      The Conservatives are far from being so united in the choice of their candidates of the Socialists . ; The partisans of the Elysee call upon the electors to snpport no one but Gen . de la Hitfe , M . Bonjean , and M . Airighi de Padone . The Debats' and other ' moderate papers' insist upon it that the electors should be allowed freely to select from among the _ eleven names put forward by th e Electoral Union . The committee of the ' Dix Decembre , ' composed . of pure Baonapartists , bat not approving of the - present Ministry , has selected three candidates of its own .

      Besides this serious diversity of opinion , the : 'Union , ' tbe organ of the ^ Legitimists , is very re' served , and declares that it will not blindly accept ' tbe candidates tbe Electoral Union may choose to present It gives no list of its own ; but it cora-. plains that among the eleven names contained in the list of the Electoral Union , there is not one who ' is known as an undoubted Legitimist . All this - sbows that the party of Order is not by any means so united as conk ! be wished ; and that the hetero-- geneous masses of which it is composed do not appear prepared for ' a pull , a long pull , and a pull alteaether . '

      "Scene in the Assembly . —On Saturday , Thiers having attacked ihe men who governed France in the first days of the Republic , General Cavaignac re-. plied -with energy , and did his best to conceal , but could not , the effect produced on him b y these censures . After a scene of recrimination of a violent " kind , and after repeated calls to order , M . Emanucl Arago addressed the house , but still the storm raged in tbs Mountain , The authority of the President ( General Bedeau ) was repeatedly set at defiance . . SlM . Arago and Jules Favre replied to M . Thiers in ths most personal manner . M . Thiers again spoke but his explanations did more mischief than his orig inal speech . Having spoken of the days of February 83 'fatai / his voice was completely drowned bv the furious shouts of the Left . *

      M . Lamartine stetid forth as the champion of the 'glorious Revolution of ' February , ' and his words were applauded with frenzy by the Mountain . The silting lasted to an unusually late hour ( past eight o dock , ) and the adjournment took place amidst , grist agitation . On Monday great confusion ensued in consequence of M . Jules Leroux persisting in reading a long historical sketch of the first revolution though be hail toean repeatedly called to order by the President . The Assembly was consulted by the President as to whether M . Leroux should not be compelled to quit the tribune- The Assembly assented , and M . Leroux retired to his place .

      The re-der will understand that the following is ¦ from the journal of an enemy : —The election of Messrs . ScVcslcher and Perrinnn for Gnadaloupe is confirmed . ! they have been named l » y a very la ge majority . Their opponents were M . Cherbonneau , the . cure of Pointe-a-Pitre , and M . Alexandre Dumas . The result of the ballot was made known . on the 18 th olt ., and the victorious party manifested its joy in the most turbulent manner . Disorderl y dances took place in the streets , and bands of negroes went through the streets , crying ' Vive

      Schoelcber ! vive Perrinon ! ' They stopped before tbebou es of tbe wirite inhabitants or men of colour who were not Socialists , " crying A bas les aristocrats ! ' ' A . bas les Warns J' ' Vive" la Mbntagne . " The Procureur de la- Repul-lique has ordered the seizure of a pamphlet b < Ledru Rollin , entitled 1 Tbe 2-itb Fevner , ' as containing—first , exclte' inent lo hatred and contempt against the government of the Republic j secondly , exciting citizens one against the" other ; and , thirdly , insults against the person of ihe President of the Republic .

      Proceedings are also instituted against the printers o * p lacards relating to the elections , who have acted - contrary to the ' laws on that subject , and have ordered such placards to be tarn down . . The ' Patrie * having stated that Ledru Rollin had " had an' interview with Lord Palmerston , the proscribed champion of Freedom bas addressed the following letter to the editor of that paper : ^ ' Sir , — I am not in the habit of contradicting all the

The weather being . beautifully fine ; there were vast crowds of prpmenaders on the Boulevards , in the public gardens ' , the Champs Elyseesi and other p laces of resort ; in the Champs Elysees , in partkular , the gathering of pedestrians and the display of equipages were larger and more brilliant than bad been seen for the last two years . -During ; the day there was a crowd of workmen , nearly all attired in their Sunday clethes ; around the Column on the Place de la Bastille , and the railing of ! the Columa was decked with crowns of immortelles .

      A relig ious ceremony was performed in all tbe ciiiirches of Paris , oh the occasion of the anniversary of the 24 ih of Feb ., and a Tefleum was suug . The Archbishop of Paris officiated at Notre Dame . - ; Additional telegraphic despatches have--been received , to-day from the departments .

      To-day we have ' been threatened with some disturbances in consequence of a piece of overzeal on the part of the police . I yesterday informed you that a considerable " number of the friends of the victims of the revolution of July , 1830 , and February , 1848 , had gone to deposit croons of everlasting at the foot of the Column " 1 of July , on the Place de la Bastille , wbere the victims are interred . Thia morning it was discovered that" during the night tbe whole of these tokens of grief and aff ction ( for they very rarely have any political meaning ) had disappeared , and it was soon discovered that this very wanton act had been committed-by . the . police . A more gratuitous insult could not have been offered to the ueople , nor one more likely to exasperate the

      inhabitants of the Faubourg St . Antoine , which is in the close neighbourhood . ' At an ; early hour this morning crowds . began to assemble around the column , a ° nd in the course of the morning a procession of about 1 , 200 persons arrived , carrying wreaths and crowns , to replace those which had been carried away , this demonstration was quite peaceable , but there were a good many cries of' Vive la Republique ' and others not' quite so agreeable to the powers that b ? . The procession was dispersed , and from time to time strong parties of ' sergens de ville cleared the the Place de Bastille . Ultimately tbe crowds dispersed , happily without any collision , but certainly it is not the fault of tbe police that the efoir has passed off quietly . . , ;

      Two bales of Socialist pamphlets , weighing IGOlbs ., printed in Belgium and' smuggled into Prance , were seized near Lille by the Cualota-house officers on Thursday last .

The Prefect , , however , being on his guard , the movement . was suppressed-and several of the leaders were arrested . ' M .

      SWITZERLAND . The following is from the Paris correspondence of tbe ' Times ' : — Litters from Geneva of the 10 th ult ., state that : affairs in Switzerland are becoming every day more complicated and the : fermentation of the public mind greater . The political refugees of all nations congregated there feel ' that the critical moment has arrived ; and that something must be done iiow or never . Humours ' of approaching in- " Burrections in France , Germany , arid Ital y were rife ; a * . td for the last 15 days ian incessant ' movement of the chief conspirators has been remarked both at Lausanne and Geneva , and correspondence exchanged with London and Paris .

M . Mammen declared he should prefer a revival of the old c onfederation , with all its' shame and disgrace' to Germany , to the establishment of what was called

      the ' Threa Kings' Bund . ' There are three motions before the house . The third , made by M . Von Carlowitz , is only ' eventual , ' or to be proposed if eitherof the other two are accepted . The first is for the production of the correspondence upon the accession of Bavaria and Wirterabcrg to the treaty of the 26 th of May , adding the especfation that the Saxon government will not , form any " . union .. that does not fulfil the just expectations of the German people—namely , a central power surrounded In constitutional guarantees , ' . a .

      THE GREEK QUESTION . ¦•; We have received , through our Malta correspondent , ' dates from Athens to the 29 th , January . The capture and detention of Greek merchant vessels by British Cruisers continued , and up to the date men ' - tioned amounted to forty-one , chiefly grain-laden , taken at the firaus , Poros , Spezzia , and Syra ; 'and cartfedinto Salamie , ¦¦ Other five or six were' taken at Patras ; and sent into' Corfii in charge of prize crews ; . Tlie . number of Greek ' ships of war ,. detained amount to ' five , the largest of which is the Ottone steamer . , . ,

      King Otho and hii ministera have expressed their determination not to . accede to the demands of Great Britain , unless the other two protecting Powers ( Russia and France ) counsel such a measure . The exchange of dip lomatic notes had ceased for some days , partly by reason of the instructions which the Ministers of France ami Russia , were awaiting , from their respective governments , and partly from the . : ' boisterous ' weather ; prevailing , ; which rendered C 6 mraimication 3 with the ; bay . of Salamis ,. wbere Mr . Wyseahd . Admiral Sir Wm . Parker , with all : his fl ^ et except- the Odin ; were at anchor . ; The

      merchants of Greece had protested against the capture and detention of merchant vessels ,-and though the people seemed at first "to side with' the' Ministry , there were at ttie latest date 8 igns of an opposite feeling ! which might become serious . The only ships of ; war . at the Piraus , were the Odin , B . ntisbsteara frigate ; the Diana corvette , the Marianna steamer . ( Austrian , ) the Vedette French steamer , and a Russian corvette .

      Athens , Feb . 4 . —M . Thouvenal has . contradicted the report that Gen , Aupick was privy to the desine of the British admiral on sailing from the Dardanelles to Salamis . The country is very quiet ; the people wait withcomposu ' re the solution of the question by the protecting powers ; The lollb . iving facts seem to betoken a not unfriendl y rlispositio ' n towards the blpckaders ' . —A boat ,-with . a dozefl English sailors , and an officer on . board , was upset lately in

      the Piiaus . The Greek .. sailors immediately exerted themselves with the best , means and alacrity to . as .-sist the capsized / who were- all - safely ibrouRht ; to shore . Two , benumbed with cold , were taken into a private house ; where they received every assistance and attention till they recovered . 'On the beach of S . r .

' . ... ' . . , 'At Athens , the people were by no means disaffected towards the English ; at Patras . the feeling was more hostile ; and " the fact of two war-boats having beenseized by the Rosamond . and towed to Corfu , had contributed not a little to keep up tbe angry feeling which already existed : " 'The Consul had plainly intimated to the English who were desirous to land for the purpose of sporting that he could not guarantee their safety from insult . . ¦ : .
