were excluded from the street walls, while those of his opponent were every where emblazoned. Electoral meetings were prohibited; democratic merchants and shop-keepers were threatened with a loss of patronage; and the whole republican party was officially denounced as a horde of imbeciles, and knaves, and fanatics. No means were left unemployed by the reactionists to secure a victory. It was all in vain. On closing the polls the vote stood thus: EUGENE SUE 128,007 M. LECLERC 119,420 ------- SUE's majority 8,587 And, what is still more startling, _four-fifths_ of all the votes given by the Army were cast for SUE. The result created a good deal of alarm in Paris. Stocks fell, and there seemed to be a general apprehension of an outbreak. If any such event occurs, however, it will be through the instigation of the Government. Finding himself outvoted, LOUIS NAPOLEON would undoubtedly be willing to try force. In any event, we do not believe it will be found possible to overthrow Republicanism in France. Previous to the election there was a _Mutiny in the 11th Infantry_. On the march of the 2d battalion from Rennes to Toulon, on the 11th April, the popular cry was raised by the common soldiers, urged on by the democrats of the town, and they insulted their officers. At Angers the men were entertained at a fete; and in the evening the soldiers and subaltern officers, accompanied by their entertainers, paraded the streets, shouting again and again, "Vive la République démocratique et sociale!" The Minister of War, on receiving intelligence of this affair, ordered the battalion to be disbanded, and the subalterns and soldiers drafted into the regiments at Algiers.
