The reason wliy we do so, dear constituents, I will tell you candidly: it is because wo are conscious of the popular tibre which connects us with the very bowels of the country it is because there exists between the people and ourselves a kind of current which we are conscious of, and which may bo thug defined—confidence in France, our beloved country. Therefore, let people i cease to prate about ,tho pressure we could I bring to bear upon universal sufirage. We and our partisans, almost all of them poor, persecuted, accused of having* deliberately and maUcioualy compassed the min’of the country—that is the only means ofpressuro we possess (mi'c). But we remember the various occasions on which the people I were appealed to —in 1848 our position was the same as it is now. In 1870 was there not more liberty than at prescut f The state of siege existed nowhere; there was not a sin gle political exile, not a single political pris oner, instead of several bundled condemne d, and 30,000 untried prisoners :the press was not only free but licentious. The clubs in the large towns openly preached assassination before an audience of fanatics! Now, to start a newspaper in Paris you need an •authorization; to travel ryou need ;v pass port. “Without examing, whether these measures have become necessary through our misfor tunes, I may surely ho permitted to point out the differences! People talk of Bonapartist intrigues and conspiracies. I feel the courage ueedtul to approach all subjects, because 1 have nothing to couceal, and my frankness is grounded ou honesty. There are sincere patriots, men of deep convictions, who point out to tptJir fellow-citizenswliatthey consid er to be the means of saving tbc country: who avail themselves in moderation I of their rights as citizens, and refrain from causing disturbance, not to aggravate the country’s calamities. And. to tell the I whole truth, dp you know who are the men who have recruited many partisans for the Napoleons? It is. first, the Honso of Bonr bon, which virtually jptimatod- its abdica tion by its formal adoption of tfie white tlug, the symbol of the ancten nyimej next come the extreme Radicals, who made an abuse of liberty, gnd led through a hateful and impot ent dictatorship to the horrors of the Com mune.

When yre shall have obtained the appeal to tlio people, the work of reparation may commence. Without con cealing ourmisfortunes and our defects, pro ceeding to a self-examination, deriving this power of correcting ourselves from, our ex perience during later times, letus ground our hopes lij f)ie vitality of the French people. We must have economy, labor, honesty, sacrifices, money forj|n£w taxes to pay our debts. We must have, picu to reorganize our army, and render it capable iof renewing its traditions of glory.

To ‘respond tp your votes I have thought it right to unburden myself to you. Ve£, an appeal to the people is neeessaiy.

Several duds wen l fought with her image blinding each combatant’s reason; and hor kjosnue for two years was the most fashionable resort on the .boulevard.

One of tho most affecting incidents in Vic tor Hugo’s Miserable®,” is the death of Le Petit Gavroche. This typical representative of the gamin of Paris, follows to a barricade a student, who, during an entente, hud won his heart by tearing a poster from the walls. The revolutionists ran ahori of ammunition, and the daring little scamp, procuring a hamper, proceeded to fill it with cartridges which he fonnd on tho bodies of dead sol diers lying in front of the barricade, thus making himself a'conspicuous target for the fire of the troops. At last a bullet struck him down j but presently he rose again, the blood flowing from his wound, and, looking in the direction whence the shot had come, was singing gaily when a second shot from the same marksman pierced him. and tills little great «ml had fled away.” The Com munist trials revealed tho fact that tho race of Gavroches is not yot extinct in Paris, After the women had boon disposed teen small boy«, of ages varying froutfi to U. were arraigned with all due formality to an swer for their share in tho proceedings of tho Gommutio.'

ExhaonUnar, method of Carrying tut Election— A Free Fight' at the Foiling Booths. Lima (Oct. 22) Correspondence of the Panama Star. The most profound excitement was evident in the capital on the night of the I4th; the porialcs or arcades, usually brilliant with lights and crowded with people, were dark and deserted; the people and troops were re moved from their postij as the Constitution of Peru expressly prohibits the- presence of armed forces in the neighborhood of. the polling booths; 'nevertheless, with in the spacious courtyard of-the Gov ernment Palace, concealed from the pub lic view, were stationed six pieces of artillery and three of the most efficient battalions of the line, to be in readiness for any emergency growing out of the agitated state of public feeling. In the five great squares of the city the polling booths were erected—simple wooden platforms In the centre of each plaza, but they were the main objects of the candidates’ attention. The system of proceeding is somewhat peculiar, and certainly not calculated toward a per fect preservation of peace and tranquillity. The party gaming possession of these tables procecils to vote for the Committee bn Elec tions, which in its turn receives the suffrages of the citizens for the Presidential electors. Hence it will been that the point of prime importance is to capture the tabic,' in order that the committee may he composed of mou favorable to a particular cause, since any little irregularity occurring in the papers of the supporters of that party might be overlooked, while the -strictest scrutiny would bo observed respecting tbc qualifica tions of itaopponenta. Therefore, the first movement ou the board for each of the rival candidates was necessarily a desperate at tempt to seize and hold the different tables, at least until such time as the Inspecting Committee might require for its complete or ganization. The only evidence of force in Lima, on that eventful night, were the policemen stationed in the high towers of the Cathedral, over looking the scene of action in the main plaza. A rumor, afterward discovered to be true, was extensively circulated.to the effect that Pardo and Lrota, representing the different shades of the civil tickotj bod arrived atou arrangement by which it was agreed that no combat should take place between their respective supporters, but that in case of necessity their strength would be arrayed against the forces of General Ech cnique, the military candidate. The effect of the announcement was naturally inspir iting to the combined parties, while equally discouraging to that of Echenique. Never theless, a desperate struggle for this prelim inary supremacy was expected. The three candidates had thoir mou well under control; at an early hour the -voters were shut up in large houses, .rented for the purpose, and adjacent to the plazas, in order to bo ready for the rally which was ap pointed to bo made some time aboht daybreak. Here they were regaled with inflammatory speeches, the indispen sable omumfienfc, and when these amuse ments became insipid, passed the time in more fully preparing their knives and revolvers, with which they were generally well provided. At about balf-past 3 Mr. Pardo gave orders for the concerted attack issuing forth in woudcrfnl order for men un accustomed to discipline and excited by drink, tbeir clubs advanced steadily and quietly upon the points to bo assaulted, and finding themselves the tint upon the field captured the tables, and proceeded to take umpires for their defence. The loaders of the different Sections pf Pardo’s organization were, in the majority, foffreff officers of the army, some men of considdraols mili tary distinction, uud the orders which were given revealed how well and carefully the |dam> had been studied. Detachments were thrown ofit to guard the approaches to each square, with’ fafirrnottom, not tfl commence the attack, but to limit themselves to the re pulse of any body of the enemy that might seek to regain the lost ground. In all the voting ppeJlfi’ctf, Pfccepf the main one, fight ing Immediately commenced; firearms, cjubs, and knives'were freely used; PUt it soon be came apparent that the forces at the disposi tion of General Echeqinno were inferior in nmribor find resolution tp tnpsp supporting Pardo. The partisans of Ureta, discovering that their x*rcscnco was not at all necessary, quietly dispersed to their homes, and the clubs of Gomez, Sauchez, and Segura made no manifestation, overawed by the powdr that was brought agniqgt them. The de fenders of the principal shufcro waitpd pa tiently for two or throe Lours, without any sign of the hostile party’s approach, when, at length, far down the street on which the Post QflJcfi is situated, and loading to the Plaza, aVo.dy of the enemy was perceived rapidly approaching, yrith yejls and with all evidences of aggressibn. The column proved to bn ju Echeuique’s interest. Pardo’s >ooplo allowed it to approach Within* shooi ng distance, and quietly received the first shots, wliep a tremendous volley was re turned, throwing tjie assaulters into confu sion. and finally compelling fhpn} io precipi tately retreat. This action dosed the fight ing. Echenique was convinced that he was unable to cope with his rival,and limited his action to the publication of nrotests against the armed forces qf Pardo, forgetting that in almost every insfafi£e th#t party stood on the defensive. Throughout "Lima and Callao, where Pardo was also successful, the number of killed amounted to 12 or 15, and t|ip wounded to 40. So that at 10 o’clock on Sunday morning the two cities, though laboring under continued excite ment. were peaceful as far a& arms were con cerned. The Piirdo party stood to Its post, requested and procured the requisite .docu ments from thn government, and proceeded quietly to the selection of pleptors. Until Tuesday Ibis state of attalrs lusted, when the of the Inferior issued an older by which fhn candidates were authorized to establish their o\vn vp:|ng booths, even offering the police for ’their de fence, if necessary. This measure wps loudly condemned by the partisans of Pardo, and indeed, it seems extraordinary, that, after having officially recognized his tables as the legitimate ones, and no obstacle whatever be ing offered to the voters of any ticket by the committee elected, so secure Was tho victory considered, a stop of this kind contradictory in the extreme should be taken. The object, however, was evidentj if w>V* hoped by the Ureta and Kcheuiquc lactrqns that by the establishment of so many different polling places, a question wouldarise as to the legal ity of either, au4 the Lima chetiou •would be declared null and Void by Congress, the ar biter in the matter. This case occurred with regard fo the plrpjiou of 1868.

Immediately after tho falling of .tho houses,in-pica a largo firo took place; probably caused by the concussion of the debris with some explo sive articles on the premises; :Thejwater was considerably augmented in couseoneuco of the earthquake. The earthquake was felt at Tarapaca afc about the same time it was first experienced at Iquique, sth of October. From the report of the Mayor of that town.

In April, 1774, he opened the uoxes and found r the cases whole. On "breaking the cases he found;two of the toads alive, but the third had died a martyr to science. They; were _handed over to the.

A CUimpve «f V«aU«nable Life in the ThsesTGeorielll,' Wbbhlholate Earl of Harrington waa a leader ol the fashion, (being at that time Lori Petersham), the evening full dices of fashionable gentlemen’s legs consisted of pantaloons fitting close'to the shape', and' tied with sUiu Jribbou rather tightly round the auklcs. The*color was either blacker buff though sometimes white; but black predobmiateo, a» best calculated to conceal imperfections ol contour. Lord Petersham,, being an Adonis in form, usually appeared in white or buff pantaloons. One-evening, however, he'suddenly “led off” a new style which very few ventured to follow, and pre sented himself At on elegant soiree In flesh! or blush-colored “tights,”.the effect of which we leave to. be imagined.

None of the shops were open. Their Majesties were go ing to see Mi&s Linwood’s Exhibition of! Ta pestry, which at that day was iu tjie neigh borhood of South Moulton, street or very near Oxford street, and the royal couple had, no doubt, sent to Miss Lin wood to be,‘.open ai that very early hour-.. It thus happened that they were met as Mr. and Mrs. Guelph,, walking like Darby and. Joan arm-in-arm up the street,, at the va cant and silent hour of 7V- in the morning.. The early hqbite-of..the.royal family of that day. were, .however,. well known.
