Saturday, December 13. The State Of The ...
Saturday , December 13 . The state of the departments is the important point in French news . Besides the departments already under martial law before the coup d ' etat , which were the Ardeche , the Cher , the Nievre , and the Rhone , the state of siege has now been proclaimed in the departments of the Seine , Basses-Alpes , Allier , Saone-et-Loire , Herault , Gard , Var , Lot , and Lot-et-Garonne , in the city of Strasburg , and probably in many other places not as yet known , to us .
The entire district situated between , the rivers Yonne , Allier , and Rhone , from the town of Joigny to the neighbourhood of Lyons , and beyond the Rhone to the department of Ain , and to Poligny in the Jura , has been in a state of popular conflagration . Lan ^ uedoc and Provence , the Basses Alpes , the Var , Gers , the Herault—throughout , in fact , this vast proportion of the country , not to speak of those parts from "which we have no accounts , military operations are going on with the utmost vigour , and general orders have beed issued by the Minister of War to the officers commanding in all the departments that all persons resisting the Government are to be shot . The Moniteur of yesterday publishes various decrees ; and among them one organizing the Consultative Commission . The commission will be called on to scrutinise the votes on the ballot which is to take p lace on the 20 th and 21 st of December , and the result will be promulgated by the executive power . The other duties of the Consultative Commission ¦ will be , first , to give its advice on the projects of decrees in legislative matters , which may be submitted to it by the President of the Republic ; and , secondly , to fulfil the functions of the Council of State . The commission will be presided over by the President of the Republic , and in his absence by M . Baroche , who is appointed Vice-president . Another decree provides that the indirect imposts and revenues will continue to be raised till the 1 st of April , 1852 ; and that the tobacco monopoly , granted to the state by the law of the 28 th of April , 181 G , shall be extended to the 1 st of January , 1853 . The same decree provides for some financial operations , and limits the lions du Tresor in circulation to 150 million of francs . General Harispe and General Yaillant are made Marshals of Prance ; and General ltandon appointed to the Government of Algeria . The vote of the Navy as far as known on Thursday stood as follows : — Number of voters 8 , 507 Por the acceptation ( of the President for ten years ) 02-12 Por the rejection 2 lot Abstained from voting 171 The MornitK / Chronicle ridicules the idea of a Socialist or other conspiracy . " Why \ v ; is the coup d ' etat the solo alternative ? Aid rluitive in the teeth of what ? A Socialist plot—; i I loyalist rising—a iiiount ; iin—or a mouse—; i Jted Jtepublic , or the drapeau blanc ? The one is equally as probable as the other ; and we shall believe ; in either when we . see evidence of its exi . stcnee . As it is , the alleged fears of a planned Socialist jacquerie have had their antecedents only in Rye-house and Meal-tub plots ; for a conspiracy is the ordinary excuse for a drafronnade . "
The Funeral Of Marshal Ttoiilt, Duke De ...
The funeral of Marshal ttoiilt , Duke de Dalmatia , took place , at . St . Amand la-Bast . ide , on the Glli . An immense concourse , of people assembled on the occasion from the departments of the llerault , Tain , and Lot . Tho Archbishop of Aldy and the Ifisliop of Caliors ofliciatcd , : incl were assisted by « t lar ^ e body of the clerg y , occupying the Whole of the choir and part of the nave of the k in all church where the hint . service was performed . The authorities of the Tarn and of the nei tf hbouriiiK departments were prevented from attending , in consequence of the disturbed state of the country . They sent formal excuses to the DucheKB for their absence . K very thing passed over with great pomp and in perfect order .

defended Mr . Disraeli , whom he pictured as " towering in the triumph of his argument , " & c . The labourers and their case formed also a topic . One would think , to read the speeches , labourers were not badly off before Corn Law Repeal ! " If the price of food and every other commodity was to be reduced to the price on the Continent , or to what Mr . Cobden called ' the world ' s price , ' the necessary consequence must be that labour must come down to ' the
world's price ' also . Mr . Jacob , who had been sent by the Government to the different nations of Europe to ascertain the rate of wages , and the price at which each country could export food to England , reported that throughout Germany the labourer received 5 d . per day ( Hear , hear . ) So that if the price of British corn was to be reduced to the Continental level , the wages of the labourer must necessarily sink to the same level , or 5 d . per day . ( Hear , hear . )"
His remedy for the farmer is one which cannot find favour in high places . " But supposing that , after struggling unitedly together , they should fail , speaking as a farmer , he then believed it would be their policy to abandon their cause , to throw up their occupations , and to emigrate at once , letting those who had failed to succour them take the responsibility . ( Cheers . ) He knew the sacrifice they would have to make ; but he said— ' Brother farmers , emigrate as quickly as you can—in your tens and hundreds of thousands , with your wives and your little ones , go and follow the pilgrim fathers , ' for such once before was the consequence of bad government . "
Mr . Cayley Worsley was the Peter Grievous of the evening , whose lamentations were almost sublime . He inflamed the ardour of the meeting , and urged energy and perseverance by picturing members of Parliament in different parts of the country " who were throwing cold tvater on the farmers , and insulting them to their teeth . " He pointed out howlandlords were not in earnest , and set the fate of the farmer on success or flight from the earth ! The labourers were biting the dust—and out of
employment , as if that was unusual at this time of year ! Lord Stanhope praised the producers and and denounced the great landlords , who , with " detestable selfishness , " had not attended public meetings , and had been silent spectators of their country ' s ruin . Mr . Ball had pointed out how Financial lleform had been recruited by deserters from the National Association . Lord Stanhope went a great deal further . The following new Conservatism was loudly applauded .
" What ! bow to the decision of the next oi an } ' other House ot Commons , in which the great majority of the working classes were not represented ? Were they to bow to a House of Commons , the great majority of whose members had been elected by the foulest bribery and corruption ? Were they to bow to a House of Commons consisting of similar persons to the present , the majority ofwhom did notdeservc or enjoy the respect and confidence of the country ? Were they to bow to a llouseof Commons
elected by ten pounders , who must outnumber all the county votes , even if they were unanimous ? And what should he say of the House of Lords , which was not a fluctuating body ? Should they bow to the decision of that degenerate assembly , when the noble duke in the chair had stated once , in his presence , that he had looked in vain among the majority who voted for the repeal of the Corn-laws for twelve honest men ?"
He also made this peculiar statement which is not at all improbable . " It . was bis firm conviction that thecause of protection would ultimately triumph , although it might not be till ruin bad overspread the land , and been succeeded by si social , revolution , which be foresaw was now at tho very threshold of our doors . The attachment of the people to the ancient institutions of the country was shaken , and in many counties , amowjst . the fanners , republican doctrines were itoio prevalent '' Winding up proceedings , the Duke of . Richmond commented on the above , and by identifying rudeness and republicanism showed clearly his enlightened Ohti mate of the latter .
" Lord Stanhope had said that a republican feeling was gaining ground among the farmers in some parts of the country . He ( the Chairman ) could only say that there was not a huntings in Kngland where be could not take the chair and be respectfully treated , and then they could judge , if tint / would so receive a peer , whether there could ' be much mischief in the republicanism which was spoken of . ( Cheers . )" The influx of provincial Protectionists was ho great that , the : dinner to that sinning light , Mr . G . F . Young , M . I ' ., had to be split into two parts , over one ol which Mr . Kllmau presided , and the redoubt ul > U : Mr . Paul Foskctt over the other . The speeches delivered were of the common . staple .
Mr . Foskett caught a glimpse of the truth when he said that .

Bethibtjtion. France Is Tranquil, Societ...
BETHIBTJTION . France is tranquil , Society is saved , nothing can be more harmonious than the "Order "; and the Temple of the Moneybags , La Bourse , presents quite a cheerful , confident aspect to Europe , with a gendarme on one side and a priest on the otherthe noblest caryatides ! The energy and valour of nos braves soldats have calmed the agitations and solved all the problems which perplexed the country . France has a Patriot at her head whose first thought is ^ her happiness , whose sole care is for Order . The alternative he presents to her citizens is brief , stern , Caesarian : Yes or No . Yes ? Then will Louis Napoleon continue to save society . No ? Then you " oppose the Government , " disturb Order , and must be shot as a Socialist : Pif , paft puf ! You are disposed of , and Louis Napoleon continues to save society as before . The process is simple , you observe ! It is called officially " an appeal to the Nation . " The sabre of the cuirassier and the
Register-book of the Commissary of Police , ascertain that it is the will of the Nation to elect the emperor of champagne and lord of sausages as permanent Saviour of Society . The means are worthy of the end ! That the happiness of France will be enormously increased by this arrangement some persons will be anarchical enough to question ; nay , there can be no great hardihood in asserting that thousands of the bourgeoisie in France are extremely ungrateful for this happiness , and groan under the benefit . Many of the journalists , too , lately so devoted to
the party of Order , are now in a state of impotent destitution ; they have conjured up the Spectre Rouf / c , and the alarmed bourgeoisie has welcomed reul tyranny as a protection from an imaginary peril ! Here is just retribution . The party of Order has reaped ' what it . sowed . It dealt in lies , in misrepresentation , in coercion . In return it meets with lies the most unblushing , misrepresentation the most mendacious , and coercion the most Napoleonien . For two years , instead of generously welcoming discussion , it vilified , declaimed , and stifled Socialism and Republicanism : its incessant sounding of the tocsin of alarm raised a national
feeling against the bugbear of a Spectre Hoii (/ e . It spoke so constantly of pillage , that if inspired fear . It collided the name of Socialism with every act of violence and robbery . If a murder was committed , the murderer was called a Socialist . If a robbery was detected , it was called a Socialist practice . Wy artifices so vulgar : is these , nided by incessant declamations , the French bourgeoisie was so alarmed that even the terrible , unmistakeable , actual horrors of military despotism are accepted in the sense Louis Napoleon adroitly presents them— -as energetic measures of repression , as guardians against Socialism !
Mad it not been for the attacks of the party of Order , their lies , their miserable laities , and their contemptible morality , Louis Napoleon could never have existed three days after the coup ( Vital . JJut on those who commit hijuuticc , injustice will rctributively fall ! There i . s another aspect to this question . The Holy Catholic Church has declared herself . To say that the declaration is an indelible < liMgiace , is saying . lil , tl « s how many ; nufcliblt : << lwKr . »^ S | , nlie
