The elections to the National &sem* be
gin in three days. In Paris they will pass !off
quietly, and in 'the provinces:ith great displity.
The Assembly meets on the 4th of May, end
from that day the history °Me new republic
takes its date. People here are tormenting
their beads with speculations as to the chem..,
ter and composition Of the National Assembly,
What sort of decrees it will issue, whether it
will be revolutionary or reactionary. All these
questions are totally useless. The French Na
tional Assembly of 1848 will wear exactly the
espect of other great assemblies of near a thou-
Una persons. There will be some men of
prominent talent, some intoxicated brains, ma
ny adherents of the old order,, a
swarm of moderate republicans, and finally the
mass of the indifferent, =determined, waver
ing, who to-day vote for, and to-morrow a
gainst, and at last, always join the victorious
party.
The l adherents of the fallen dynasty, and all
those who by the overthrow of splendid posi
tions have lost a great part of their property,
still hope for a reaction and for the' return of
the Count de Paris and the Regency of the
Prince de Joinyille. ' However, if they reckon
on the National Assembly to bring about they
are mistaken, for at the first reactionary steps
taken by that assembly the demooratio major
' ity of the population of Paris would rise, drag
the Deputies recreant to freedom from the Pe i
leis Bourbon, and cast them into the Seine.—
Rut, as said, nothing definite can yet• be sta
ted with , regard to the 4th of May. . We must
first see how the elections turn out, how the Na
tional Assembly is constituted on its organisa
tion, how the parliamentary members stand,
and what are the steps first taken. In any
case, revolutionary convulsions are to be ex-
Elected - in Paris, and reactionary in the depart
meats, but a counter-revolution is as impossi
ble as a return to the terrorism of 1793.
The external political situation of France
wears a much more clear aspect than the inter
nal. The Republic is immediately, threatened
by no foreign enemies, and has full time to es. ;
tabliili itself at home, and at the same time to
provide for a probable war in the future. 'For
~this purpose an Army of the Alps, consisting
of 45,000 men, is already assembled; 15,000
men are stationed at the-Pyrenees as a corps
of observation ; 10,000 men are on the Belgi
an frontiers. An army. of the Rhine of 40,000
is' established; 30,000 horses have been pnr- •
chased for cavalry, and 15,000 for artillery and
baggage, while in all the arsenals and naval
preparations are most actively going on. Be
sides these provisions against sudden emergen
cies, the Republic has an army of 110,000 vet
eran troops in Africa, who can at a. moment's
warning be embarked and thrown into Spain,
Italy or Turkey, in case a decided step must
be taken. With the present organization the
' epublic can send into the field an army of
500,000 men, while a million of National
Guards assume the internal defence of the
country.
lamartine's manifesto has laid down the
.principles of Foreign Policy-to be followed by
the - Provisional Government : the National
Assembly may adopt a more vigorous Course
of eemilict, if it shill judge it appropriate and
timely- Already Lamartime bat laid before
Austria and Prussia two ultimatums. From
each he demands a reconstitution of itheir
Polish Provinces : from Austria he requires the
evacuation of Lombardy. Both dentands will
be complied with: Neither Austria nor Prus
sia with their unreliable armies and perfectly
problematic finances-min think of a war with
France. Russia has declared that forthe pres
ent,'she will remain neutral, and not resort to
arms so long as her frontiers s,iot threatened.
England has also financial difficulties on hand;
She :has also Ireland more and more fiercely
threatening, which, with her chartist moveMent,
gitres her too much to do at home to allow Ikr,
to'think of war. Nevertheless, it must net be
Overlooked that she is making immense prepar
ations, and at this very moment has a power
ful fleet of 1,000 guns in the Mediterranean,
One. equally strong in the Irish Channel; and
110 !men-of-war scattered on other seas,
IL B.
The condition of Austria is the most enemy
passible. Lombardy and Venice are irrecover
ably; lost; Hungary has already declared' her
self independent, and will soon dissolve all con
nection with Austria. Gallicia labors to the
iamb end; and Bohemia makes unmeasured
deinands.. Croatia, too, Siebenburgen,
and 'even the Tyrol, now no longer true to the
Emperor, speak a very decided language, and
threaten a total separation at the least delay
to grant their requnuments.
IVith all this the monarch is perfectly use
less 'the ministers irresolute and unable, as yet,
to obliterate the old schoOl of Metternich, and
the nobility and clergy thoroughly reactiotnuy.
Add to this the Social. Question, which his al ! ,
ready produced its disturbances of workmen at
Vienna, a universal rising against the priest,
hob& and in Steiermark a crusade of the peas
antry against the castles of the nobility, 'with
err:cues of every kind.
The t last hour of Austria has struck. The
cunning structure of Kannitz and Metternich

%rations countries and nations of the Old Ein- -
iirc will be united in a FEDERATIVE REA:43-

Odr readers cannot fail to be interes

ica, in our colon:ma this week.
JNB''. Some of the Whig papers, we observe,
are publishing Gen. Scott's late letter to the
Secretary of War, node* by us last week, but
without any allusion to , the reply of Guveiner
Marcy, or anything from which a reply might
be inferred. • Neither has oneef them, not
von Mae orthe yarge city dailies, deigned to
publish the answer, or any part thereof. Why
is WS.? Cannot our Democratic and Whig
friends all interiret itt If they thought Gen.
ScOtt had come' off with flying colors,, or Gov
ernor Marcy's reply waii a failure, would they
be so silent about it ? ,What we say here by
implication about the Whig press generally,
we mean for our neighbor of the Whig press
here in particular. Last week he had an-ar
ticle landatoryof Gen. Scott's feat, but was ' ,
as dumb as as a mummy shout any answer.—
Why so silent aeighboil Are you afraid to
have Whigs know that your hemlock (snap
pish) General has been playing with "the fire
in his rear" much to hii own hurt ?
Tax CIRCIIBo-WO have been requested to
call attention to the advertisement of Howes
640 Co's Circus, on our last page, but we suppose
it to be useless, a,s , it is hardly probable that
there is a man, ' woman or obild, who has seen
' the paper at all, who has not also seen and read
that. Suffice it to say to such as take any in
terest in such al'species of fun and amusement,
that the . perfermance of the Messrs. Howes &

treat.
The POstage Bill at Last.
It seems that. the much called-for postage
reform has finally been formally introduced in
to the popular branch bf Congress, and some
action is likely to be soon had upon it. The
following are said to be some of the principal
provisions of the' bill which was ireparted by
the Post Office C,,ormnittee of the House an the
4th inst.
The circulaticin of all newspapers free of
postage within thirty miles of the place of pub
lication, not ahove the: superfices ,of 1,900
square inches. .;
Under one hundred Miles and over thirty,
one-half cent, over one hundred and for any
*staneie onteent.
Newspapers ilicros 1,900 inches to pay pam
phlet and maga!ihe postage, which is two cents
for the 4ist ounce, and half of one cent for all
greater distances.
Newspapers under 500 square inches to go
free for the first thirty miles,and pay,a quarter
of one cent for all greaterdistances. • Transient
newspapers' pay two cents when not 'sent from
the office of puhlieation.
Publishers Of pamphlets, magazines and pe
riodicals are allowed a free exchenge, s the same
as the publiehetwof newspapers.
So far, as it goes, we think the proposed re

Mr. Clay . Should they do so, the Wihhot

e ing our Correspendent'S conclusion that Mr.
' Clay is , personally antagonistic to the Proviso,
d whiclkie probably correet, we have abundant
d reason to believe him joint demagogue erteagh,
if a candidate, and his opponent was known to
o oppose that measure; to avow himself in its fa.
e vor. Thia would be characteristic of limy
- Clay and Liu party, :midi is very likely, upon ,
the contingencies aforementioned, to be the
condition:of things. We judge so particularly
from Whig declaritions, and demonstrations.
e One strong, evidence is the deelaration of Her
e ace Greely, at - the . great Whig Meeting in
Portsmouth, NI H. Upon being interrepted .
e on thequestion, he declared that he would
" not support Henry Clay, if opposed to the
- Proviso, nor any other man of like sentiments"
t —and yet it is notorious that no man in the
' Nation bat done half so much towards bringing
Mr. Clay into the.field as Mr. - Greely.
2. Onricorrespoudent is pleased to speak of
the principles of the Proiiso as " sitbversive of
' the• Constitution," &c. We should like to
know in what way. We have heard much
said about the unconstitutionality of legislation
• upon this Subjeet ; but really we have seen-no
; attempt td show in what way the constitution
would be Violated. If it is " subversiveef the
' Constitution" to prohibit slavery in all fret
territory that we may acquire, Bow such abort
of it would it be, pray tell as, to prohibit it in
ep : Frt-a z oi" north sit. 36? 20!? If the Praise
suiiveratve of tie ~on '
strtn~on"—aa ,
beyond, constitutional limits—then what is tie
Midsoitri compromise ? In principle they are
• verisimilar--their difference is only in Geo
; graphical limits, yet it is vast. -And yet we
do not Itreiw•an inti-ProViso man in our mut
- ty who does not fall back wpon, and offer the
. Missouri compromise as, the grand, sovereign
salvo for the whole diffieulties ! We repeat,
if it is unconstitutional to prohibit the intro
duction of Slavery into all free :territory, then it
is also unconstitutional to prohibit it in a put ;
then the Missouri Compromise is a farce, and
the Ordinsoce of 'B7 the; prince of !somber,
entitled only to the meatiest contempt.. The
cases are exactly pica:ll4, and the argument
that will show the Amns° to be "subversive
of the : Constitution," will• show with equal
elearnese that. the Ordinance framed by hirer
son in 178 T, and , which interdicted slavery in,
the North-Western-Territory , as well as the
Missouri Compromise, of later date, were stn.
pendonstlcheats, nay, grass otitrages upon the
