TRANCE Toe gcrxrrost.—The Election at Paris passed of with great tranquility: The prat day mace than 100,000 elector, voted. The election returns are not all known yet ; about, half of the Departments having been heard front: Our a..tvices from Paris are to 8 P.M. of Dec. 22. At that time the returns stood 2,000000, [or Louis Napoleon and 600,004 against. It was then suppoied that his majerity would be about 7,000,000. , The Paris correspondent of 71re Daffy New on the evening of the 20th writes as follows: This morning, at B o'ctock, commenced therpoll which is to determine the acceptande or rejection by the electors of France of the Government Impos ed by vielenee upon the French people. Each al.. rondissemeno throughout Prance is divided into sev eral sections ; in which some convenient aeons is selected for the operations of the election. Before entering one of these you observe generally in the coon of the house a strong detachment of the na• lion& guard mixed with troops on the line. Loung ing about the doors and passages are a great neat bet of Bonapartist touters, who thrust into the hands of all comers tickets printed with oui. I did not observe any agenta distributing tickets insembed with eon; although the hfo:titeur of this morning stater that the Presidenc,ofthe aamber of Printers has been ordered. to notify to the printing establish ments' throughout Patio that the Government is on ly desirous of arriving at the sincere wishes of Frince, and repudiate s, as a eafumnious invention the report that it ken taers any means to prevent the punting of negative votes. I found, indeed, that there waeLnolack °Wiese in•the offices of pa pers that survey the Flyses with no , friendly eye. loaner's resort* pile* of " Noes" trait rtr be used by the faithful. Very different is the aspect' of the polling places fronnwhat it was on the 30th el No vember, when Mr..Devinck was recommended aa a conservative sandittate for the representation of Paris, to the Assembly where he was never doom' dal to take his seat.. Then , bat ur few dozens of electors preeented themselves in. the course olp an hour. To day, even though the sections are multi. , plied as much tpk, possible, to give room lot the enornuts crowd, the dram of all arerdboselk t \tong ed. When you enter the room where - the operation takes place, you see six person. sewed at a table,. *rho form the board. The rresident of the board is either mayor or deputy mayor, munfeipiatcoan ciller' or • delegate appointed by the jtigadepaix. Each elector is provided with scud. which he has applied for at the mayory, and which identifies his person, and confirms his right to vote . ' This card he han ds to the President, who calls its number, Coif thrliwers it to the secretary, whochecki the card by there:Al of the electors of the section: Tne oleo :tor then . Mips a folded! ticket inseribed with " Yes"- or " No" Into a slit in the cover of a small square box on the table, which constitutes what is called the electoral urn. If there should be more than onerticket in the same fold, the fraud or mistake is et once recognised on the examination of the votes and the vote is annulled. After the end of the oneration the box is sealed and deposited during the night at the mayory, where they are guarded by a post of the national+ guard or fine. Tne doors of the room where it is laid• are also sealed. Each box has two locks, one of the nonesconding keys being in the hands of the eldest aseessor. All the operations have been conducted in the most per fect order. The ballot is to be kept open until 8 o'ckek instead GIS, by degree of the Ministers of of the interior. -Up to 4, about 100,000 electors bad voted. Telegraphic dispatches have been re ceived from the provinces, stating that the same maim" to vote is mani4eisted everywhere. InferLIUNIMUS. It is at last perfectly certain that Gen. Cavainac is et liberty, and once more restored to his family circle in tbe 'Rue du Helder. hie certain that he has made no conditions whatever with tie Govern ment in order to procure this advantage over the rest of his taloa-prisoners at Ham. It was only in fact, in consequence of the eseeranee that they al so would shortly be stp-treerthat the Genera) final ly consented to accept his' oven liberation. The Government, it seems, is much nettled at the presence of M. Thiera in London. They gave oat that be was going to Germany, and .indeed he launched him thrott!gb Strataburg in that direction. But the current of M. Thier's plane was setting sp. wendy in the opposite direction, and no sooner had he reached the Rhine than he doubled like an old hare northward, until Its was ferried amass the Channel at Ostend.
