Some recent triumphs in the local elections I have given the republicans new courage; they t• 'hope .now to heat the royali sts, even ' ' under the ;„. Present eleetorallavr.. This `would be highly pre ferable to getting up another revolution, out of . 7 ' . which they would be cheated as they have been ito a great extent out of all preceding on e s. Nor do the French people yet know what they want; the royalists- are divided, the republicans have no common creed, and the socialists have as many . dliferent cobras as the Kaleidoscope; .1 have never • yet fhtmd more than two that agreed ou any two political propositions. France ism a state of chaos no far as' opinions are concerned. We see •,-. certain ingredients forming a combination; ea, for instance, the old Voltairian and the Catholic parties, but tree this may more properly be termed a miiture than a fixed combination. — ' - This want of a general tendency of political opin ion makes mo'hope that there will be.no attempt at' nsurrection. Things are bad f npugp in all ' conscience, but better bear thallis we have, • ;than By to others we know not of. When the friends, of liberty -in France agree on whatthey •-• wish to establish, it will then be time enough for , the terrible resources of civil war. j• - -The despotism of the administration is very annoying ill all parts of France.

A republican grocer in Auvergne had ra, magpie,-which, - in the glorious days of 1848, be bad taught to whistle the Marseilles hymn, , ' now: considered seditious to the last degree. 'llhenerer the bird was hung out on the sunny side -of the wall, he would whistle this tans to 'll;is great discomfiture of the police and other government:timed onaries. The annoyance grew solnuderalde that the grocer received an order not to hang his bird edge on the strseteide of bee ' house.; This order became the town talk; itina I discussed in the streets; the papers quarreled' ' about it; in short, it became the great affair of I the vilifies of the department: Our grocer, an imated by the true martyr spirit, spent the great- j cr part of his time in making his bird whistle, „not only the Marseilles hymn, but the Chant de I Depart, and other incendiary tunes;and the 1 - crowd gathered in the street to listen. The af- j fair was becoming serious, when the prefect put an end; to, it by ordering the magpie into close confinement.

That there is no ((testy, properly so called, in , c. France is manifest; but even the idea of liberty scarcely exists; hence that nation, for three ' , quarters- of •it century, Inis been vitiating be- Iween the extremes of tyranny and licentious- zie , . It seems as if they could never settle up- I ''a the just mean of sober, rational liberty. • I Now France, in some respects, is n highly elo ' lightened nation; situated in the very focus of 1 "., intellectual illumination; and yet .it; seem. , that ; its people cannot be governed errefd by despotic ; power. Iris very strange. No peoPle ever had i - ' a:better 'opportunity; of ethablishing the most, lib ) ; 1 , era institutions than they had in Ifiiii. All op position ..• fret= within was removed. and there-was no interference- from without The democratic principle was perfectly triemphant; : ,and a con- StitralCM, even more liberal in its letter than ours, 1 was adopted: and .ostensibly that constitution is still in force, yet the above extract shows what bled of liberty is enjoyed under its practical working. . . .This !political paradox is puzzling enough to those who leek no deeper than the surface of things; but it 'is not so strange if we examine ' the moral elements of which' France is com posed..,, There ere two antagonist principles in France ' . —first Papery, which denies the right of private judgment, and has always, ender all circumstan ces, bean inimical to civil liberty.

The Concordia Intelligences contains some facts ',itch are inter esting, as showing the changes which have takeh , place in tne Western trade: We have been led into these reflections and a series-of inquiries, by observing that the merch -1 ants 'of Lake Providence. Wir.lciburgh and Nat, chefhave begun to receive a pontoon of their I goods from the East by the Northern routes— through the canals and over the railroads of 1 Petinsylva4a, Ohfo And Illinois. If goods can be brought through these channels with greater expedition. cheaper and safer than by the way of the sea and.

The Ohio and Pennsylvania canals. last summer, were gorged with freight going East The new railway from Cincinnati to Sandusky has been nriable to take a tithe of the freight offered to it, and a few months ago, we were told by a gentle man connected with that road, that the company then had upwarlopf , SOO men engaged in building burden cars for the coming season's usc.

Another railroad has been Sur veyed to pass through the central portions of Illinois and Indiana, from St Lords to Cincinnati, I to swell the tide of direct commerce from the ' ; 'West to the Eastern cities. These are all pro ' jetted by Eastern capital which is never miatak. en in its aims. Tobacco, along the shores of the Lower Ohio and the Cumberland, hes been sent forward to New York by these routes. Cotton from Nashville and Menthnis has found its wiry to all the interior factories of New York and 1 Pennsylvania by the same channels; (,0,000 hales of cotton, we have been told by one well informed I f the business, passed up the Ohio from the crop of 1841 and; have been omitted in all the estimates of-that , crop.
