r FRANCE . Paris , - Sattjrday . —The Approaching Elkc-T ! Ons . — The delegates of the Socialists bad a formal meeting U $ t nigtit to consider the question of the choice of the candidates on the Republican and Socialist interests at the approaching elections for the departmenfrof the Seine . The meeting wasengaged in hearing the opinions of the different candidates , and deliberating on " the ' choice "' till ten o ' clock this morn ' utg , when they came to a resolution , by a large majoiity , that the candidates chosen by the majority of the meeting should have the support of the whole of the united parties . M . Esile de Girardiu attended the . meeting for the purpose of explaining his principles . Ultimately a ballot was taken , when the vole was declared to be in favour of the follow , ing nam *? , who may be considered the Socialist ean & . ^ alv = , —
1 . M . FMneois Vidal , ex-delegate of the Luxembourg-. 2 . M- de Flotte , ex-officer of the French army . It will hv remembered that he was deeply implicated in the affair of the 15 th of May . 3 . Cansot , Minister of Public Instruction under the Pr trcisianai Government .. The Cai & sn de FJotte ; must not be confounded with the Ouistter ; Flotte , the friend of Blanqui . He is a Republican and Montasnard . After serving for many Tsars ' as a lieutenant in the French army he was ubiijged jtb leave it oh account of hi * republicanism , aiuVhas since been frequently imprisontd for his poiitualopinions . " ' - , . M . Fs-ansois Vidal is a well known Socialist writer . - ;;; >' - '¦
As us il . Carnot , he is best known as the son of the grcat-Carhot , who was Minister of War during the first revolution ! His own principal political act was iht- famous circular which , as Minister of Public InsmieioEjjhe addressed to the primary teachers of rYanc . I " .. . A u ! - " '' - ' r : pf merchants , operatives , and others , had or-vU'usly'voted the following address to the deleg ^ xs chosen by the Democratic Socialist Electoral Committee : —* Citizen Delegates , —We must be either Realist or Republican . At present every Royalist , is sc conspirator . The duty of each of ns is to ss ? ., * rl " j , he Republic . In order to sustain it
we own i > f united / TJaien is force . The operative and the insurant are united by their feelings and their ii ' . Ures . ts , - which are common . They must therefor * remain united , particularly for the elections . The success of the Democrats in the elections for Paris wJH hive an immense effect throughout France . The i «> i !! u !? 3 from Paris will be decisive , for Paris is at outs ' v « m fead and the heart of France . The mercinfi ^ , cbhsequently , comprehending all the imports ; . ; ^ of tfjie situation of affairs , and in order to secure ; he triumph of the Republic , declare that they will a . 'hese -to the > list ; whatever it may be , that shall deselected by the Democratic Socialist
Committer . The ' Siee !? , ' 'the'National , ' the ' Presse , ' and several other MoHerate '' papers , as well as the ' Repnbliq !\ 2 ' " and * Voix du Peuple , " accept the Socialist list as : he definitive qne ^ aud call on all their friend * to su : > pori 'it . " The 'Press ? , ' in giving the list says : — - However significant the names of Leflaf te , Vidal , as J Carnot may he , there is reason for astonishnnMiiliatthev are »< " ¦ still more extreme . They c ; Hin a pretest , in the name of violated justice ,
again * - ! transportation Without trial ; a protest , in the n £ me . d enlightened Socialism , against the pretended infallibility of . the police ; and a protest , in the nasi ? ' cif suppressed liberty , against the prosecution of ill " , schoolmasters . It is enough that these names should . have this -signification to induce us to rally round Iheth without hesitation , and without our renumbering ' that the name of the former Minister of Public Instruction was preferred to that of the chief editor of the * Presse . ' We more than
ever pf . sist in thinking that , if there is still lime to stop the government and the majority in their progress tw'ardi ' Vtb . e fatal precipice which is leading them tu : ' 'i 5 rir : doom , it will only be arrived at by voting , deliberately , on the 10 th of March for the list adopted : his'morning by the central committee of the Republican delegates . Perhaps other names mig ht base bad a better chance of success , bnt these names ha ~ e been chosen . We must think no more of it . L-t there be no tardiness , and no sterile recrimiuatuffls . . We must now look but to one end and r , ! i ^ means . ' -
Tht conservatives are far from being so united in the choice of their candidates of the Socialists . The pari bans of the Elysee call upon the electors to support noMJnebnt Gen . de la Hitte , M . Donjean , and y ,. Arrigfii'fie Padonc . The'Debate' and other moderate papers "insist upon it that the electors shouW be allowed freely to select from among the eleven uaaies pat forward by the Electoral Union . The c . iin ; r > ittee of the * 'Dix 'Decembre , * composed of pure BuonahartiBts , but not approving of the present . Viinis'ry , 1 has selected three candidates of its
own . . - Besidfts tb & ' ¦ serious diversity of opinion , the 'Union , ' the orgaii' of the Legitimists , is very reserved , ar . d declares that it will not blindly accept the caii-Hdates . the Electoral Union may choose to present . It gives no list of its own ; but it complains vhat amoag the eleven names containfd in the lis : of thefllectoral Union , there is not one who is known as an / undoubted Legitimist . All this shows Vr-. ai thS ^ parly of Order is not by any means so united as cSnld be wished ; and that the hetero . geneous masses . of which it is composed do not appear prepared for « a pull , a long pull , and a pull altogether . ' v
icexe is the Assembly . —On Saturday , Thiers havin-: aitacked-the raea who governed France in the first days of the Republic , General Cavaignac replied - « th clergy , and did his best to conceal , but couid not , the ' effect produced on him by these censures . After a ; , scene , of recrimination of a violent kind , a :: d after " repeated calls to order , M . Emanuel Arag'j addressed the house , but still the storm raged in the Mountain . . The authority of the President ( General Bedeau ) was repeatedl y set at defiance . Mil . Arago and Jules Favre replied to M . Thiers in the most personal manner . M . Thiers again spoke but his explanations did more mischief than his original speech . -Having spoken of the days of February as * fatal , ' his voice was completely drowned bv the furious-shouts of the Left .
M . Lamartine stood forth as the champion of the ' glorious Revolution of February , ' and his words were applauded with frenzy by the Mountain . The sitting lasted to an unusually late hour ( past eight o ' clock . ) and the adjournment took place amidst great agitation . On Monday great confusion ensued in consequence of M . Jules Leroux persisting in reading a long historical sketch of the first revolution though he had been repeatedly called to order by the President . The Assembly was consulted by the President as to whether M . Leroux should not be compelled to quit the tribune . The Assembly assented , and M . Leroux ret-red . to his place .
The reader will understand that the following is from the journal of an enemy .: —The election of Messrs . Sci . ttkber and Perrinon for Guadaloupe is confirmed ! they have been named by a very latge majority . Their opponents were M . Cherbonneau . the cure oi Pointe-a-Pitre , and M . Alexandre Dumas . The result of the ballot was made known on the 18 th nit ., and the victorious party manifested its joy in the most turbulent manner . Disorderly dances took place in the streets , and bands of negroes went *' through the streets , crying 'Vive
Schce . cher ! vive Perrinon ! ' They stopped bsfore the hones of the white inhabitants or men of colour who were not Socialists , crying'Abas les aristocrats ! ' ' A baa les blancs ' . ' ' "Vive la Montagne !' Ths Procureur de la Republique has ordered the seizure of a pamphlet bj Ledru Rollin , entitled ' The 24 tfa Fevrier , ' as containing—first , excitement to hatred and contempt against the government of the Republic ; secondly , exciting citizens one against the other ; and , thirdly , insults against the person of the President of the Republic .
Proceedings are also instituted against the printers o ? placards relating to the elections , who have acted contrary to the laws on that subject , and have ordered such placards to be torn down . The * Patrie' having stated that Ledru Rollin had had an interview with Lord Palmereton , the proscribed champion of Freedom has addressed the following letter to the editor of that paper : — « Sir , — I am not in the habit of contradictingall the inventions that are propagated about me , but that which is contained in . your number of the 22 nd February ca-ries with it such an affirmative character , that i fesl myself obliged to contradict it . I have never had a conference with Lord Palmerston ; I need not add I have never demanded one .

This is the more extraordinary , considering that an election is about to take place in the capital . ) . The consequence of it is that the police ' can . stdp even the addresses of the Socialist candidates . -- ' -- '
Annivkrsarv op the Revolution , Feb . 24 .--To-day is the , anniversary of the proclamation of the republic , and it is ushered in by beautiful weather . There is little" fear of any demonstration , as the democrats are determined to be quiet , and , as their organs say , are not to be provoked by any stratagem to make a manifestation . . _„»„ The democratic journals publish a manifesto , aaying that they will have no feast-no demonntration . The manifesto runs thus : — ^_ , . ¦ AsKivrasARr of Feb . 24 .-We shall not si down to-day to our fraternal feast .. We shaU not adorn our houses , with garlands and torches . No !> anqu ° ts , no illuminations . We shall content ourselves with hanging crowns on the bronze that
covers our deceased brethren . We shall separate , in order to give no pretext for provocation . In 1850 as in 1849 , the anniversary of the revolution is not a day of , joy but of mourning .. The present , instead of belonging to liberty , belongs to despotism . Listen to the voices that rise ; they do not bear , to heaven the hymn of independence , of glory , and happiness ! They are but the leave-taking of prisoners , which are carried away by the wind towards the land of exile ; they are the curses of soldiers , to whom stup id absolutism has given the part of executioners ; they are the groans of citizens and poor men , who die in bankruptcy and misery . ¦ , The dead will pardon us for not drinking the cup to the gratitude we owe them . Our hearts can only find room
for the regrets which their loss inspires . And then , what toast could we drink ? Not a toast to liberty , for it is dead ; not to equality , which no one will have ; and not to fraternity . We leave our joy as a legacy to future generations . ' To the citizens who died for liberty on the 24 th of February ,. 1848 , the grateful future ! . Yive la Republique ! ' . ? .-. '¦ The steamer in which the insurgents of June , detained at Belle-Isle , were embarked , sailed from Brest for Algeria on the 19 ult .
Paris . Monday / . —The anniversary of the revolution , yesterday , passed off with perfect calm . The weather being beautifully fine , there were vast crowds of promenaders on the Boulevards , in the public gardens , the Champs Elysees , and other p laces of resort ; in the Champs Elysees , in particular , the gathering of pedestrians and the display of equipages were larger and more brilliant than had been seen for the last two years . During the day there was ft crowd of workmen , nearly all attired in their Sunday clothes , around ; the Column on the Place de la Bastille , and the railing of the Column was decked with crowns of immorjelles . A religious ceremony was performed in all the churches of Paris , on the occasion of the anniversary of the 24 tb of Feb ., and & Te Deum was sung . The Archbishop of Paris officiated at Notre Dame .
Additional telegraphic despatches have been received to-day from the departments . Everywhere the greatest calm reigned on the ' 24 th of Feb ., excepting at Carcassone , where there was some agita tion in honour of Barbes ( wko is a native of that place , ) but it was tasily kept down . Paris Toksday . —In the Legislative Assembly to day the second reading of the Public Instruction Bill was carried by a large majority , and the'Assembly determined , by a majority of , 436 to 205 , that it should pass to the third reading .
To-day we have been threatened with , some disturbances in consequence of a piece of overzeal on the part of the police . I yesterday informed you that a considerable number- of the friends of- the victims of the revolution of July , 1830 , and February , 1848 , had gone to deposit crowns of everlasting at the foot of the Columu of July , on the Place de la Bastille , where the victims are interred . This morning it was discovered that during the night the whole of these tokens of grief and affection ( for they very rarely have any political meaning ) had disappeared , and it was soon discovered that this very wanton act bad been committed by the police . A more gratuitous insult could not have been offered to the people , nor one more likely to exasperate tho
inhabitants of the Faubourg St . Antoine , which is in the close neighbourhood . . At an early hour this morning crowds began to assemble around tbe column , and in the course of the morning a procession of about 1 , 200 persons arrived , carrying wreaths and crowns , to replace those which had been carried away . This demonstration was quite peaceable , but there were a good many cries of Vive la Republique ' and others not quite so agreeable to the powers that be . The procession was dispersed , and from time to time strong parties of sergens de ville cleared the the Place de Bastille . Ultimately tbe crowds dispersed , happily without any collision , but certainly it is not the fault of the police that the ^ fair has pa-sed uff quietly .
Two bales of Socialist pamphlets , weighing IGOlbs ., printed in Belgium and smuggled into France , were seized near Lille by the Custora-house officers on Thursday last . Accounts from Cabors of the . 23 d ult ., state that a seditious movement had taken place on the preceding night amongst the Socialists of that town and Vigau . The Prefect , however , being on his guard , tbe movement was suppressed and several of the leaders were arrested . M . Dubain , the editor of tbe ' Paysan , ' of Re . nnes , who was prosecuted for having published a seditious libel , has been acquitted by a jury of that town .
M . Suquet , responsible editor of the ' Temps , ' was yesterday condemned by default to three years' imprisonment and ' 6 , 000 f . fine for an article in that journal containing attacks against the government , and . ' . vindicating facts considered as misdemeanours by the law .
SWITZERLAND . The following is from the Paris correspondence of the' Times ' : — 'Letters from Geneva of " the 10 th ult ., state that affairs in Switzerland are becoming every day more complicated and the fermentation of ihe public mind greater . The political refugees of all nations congregated there led that the critical moment has arrived , and that something must be done now or never . ICumours of ! approaching insurrections in France , Germany , and Italy : were rife ; and for the last 15 days an incessant movement of the chief conspirators has been remarked- both at Lausanne and Geneva , and correspondence exchanged with London and Paris . The secret comuiittees are in permanence , and agents have set out in various directions . ' The activity of tbe pror
paganda has increased ahundredfold , and incendiary publications issued daily from the Lausanne press . Ten thousand copies of Eugene Sue ' s work , ' Les Mysteres du Peuple , ' have been printed there , and distributed all over the country . The journal' La Suisse , ' of the 19 th ult , confirms the information 1 uave you several days since , " that no official note bad been communicated to the Federal . Coum . il on the part of the Powers , and that the : question of Neufchalel had bean the subject of diplomatic negotiations . That statement , as well as others in the letter of the same day , touching the determination of the Federal Government in case of invasion , are also fully confirmed in the following 'Circular , ' addressed by the Council to the Governments of all the cantons , but particularly to those " of the frontier •—'Berne , Feb , 15 . '
« Faithful and dear Confederates . —Seyeral journals have announced that some powers , among , other Austria and Prussia , are concentrating troops destined . to march against Switzerland , and even to invade it , in order to wrest from it certain , concessions incompatible with its dignity and independence . Although up to the present time there has been addressed to us , on the part of those Powers , no note , written or verbal , m demand , direct or indirect , ot the nature of those referred to in the public papers —notes or demands relative to the refugees , and which would tend toenroach on the institutions and the rights of Switzerland ; although these Powers have no grievances against the Confederation , which
has spantaneously fulfilled its obli gations , and will continue to fulfil them ; although we are consequently very far from admitting or even from supposing the projects ascribed to those powers—notwithstanding that , we say , our duty being to watch over ths saftey of Switzerland and the maintenance of its independence as well as its neutrality , we beg of you to make known what you may know or learn touching the concentrations or movements of foreign troeps , which might be directed against Switzerland , in order that if , contrary to all expectation , the rumours which are * spread be well founded , we may be able : to take in good part all the measures ; required for the defence of the country .

its perilous designs . Do not either believe this party when it states that ; the Federal Council has complied with the injunctions of . diplomacy , or has anticipated its exigencies .. That is as contrary , to tbe truth as when it pretends that the Federal Council has not the power to cause its orders to be respected , or that Switzerland is a . permanent cause of perturbation to the neig hbouring states . These inventions are , like so many others , part of the schemes of the reactionary party , on which it is necessary to have the eye open .

GERMANY ; / , / PRUSSIA . — The ' Kolner Zeiluhg' , has two electric despatches from Berlin of the , 21 st ult . —one stating that bis Majesty the King of , Prussia iscon . fined to bisapartments in consequence of an accident he met with in walking ; and the other containing the announcement that the Lower House of the Prussian Parliament has voted an extraordinary supply of 18 000 , 000 thalers for the War-office . Another despatch fronvBerttn of the 20 th . ult ., states that the President of the Cabinet , has communicated to the members of the two houses a Royal message , from which it appears that the prorogation of the Prussian Parliament catue off on the 26 thuit .
The ^ Cologne Gaze tte * of Saturday , publishes a telegraphic message from ; ^ Berl . in , 'dated , the 22 nd ult ., stating that at midnight the jury had returned a verdict of' Not guilty , ' in the case , of thirty-six of the members of the National Assembly accused of exciting the people not to pay the taxes ; but had found Buchtr and three others guilty / The court on the following morning pronounced its sentence upon the convicted prisoners . Bucher and Plath were sentenced to fifteen months' imprisonment and loss of their respective offices ( the former held a judicial office , and the latter that of a Bnrgermaster . ) the others were sentenced to six months' imprisonment . -
The German question has come under discussion in the Upper Chamber of Saxony . ' Some of the speeches were violent denunciations of the Prussian policy , and its Bund its motives and means , and indicated a strong opposition to any accession to ' or countenance of the Erfurt blah ..- Its object , it was asserted , 'is not a strong Germany , but a strong Prussia ; under the hypocritical mask of a popu ' ar constitution it was attempting to bring back the most - absolute despotism . — This is about the mildest specimen of the language used . M . Mammen declared he should prefer a revival ' of the old confederation , with all its ' shame and disgrace' to Germany , to the establishment of what was called
the Thr ' es Kings' Bund . ' There are three motions before the house . The third , made by M . ; Von Carlowitz , is only ' eventual , ' or to be proposed if either of , the other two are accepted . , The first is for the production of the correspondence upon the accession of Bavaria and Wirtemberg to the treaty of the 26 th of May , adding the expectation that the Saxon government will not form any union that does not fulfil the just expectatioiis of the German people—namely , a . '' central power ' surrounded b > constitutional guarantees , a P arliamentary govern , ment , and representation . M . Joseph ,. the mover of the second resolution , protests in : if against any
union that does not include the whole German race , and all the rights of the German grundreclit , as published by the Frankfort ; Assembly : on : the 2 ud of March , 1849 .. If either of ... the . se ; resolutions be carried M . Carlowitz isready to pledge the Chamber to a declaration that the laying . before it the negotiations on the German question for its mere information is a slig ht to the ^ ' constitutional functions of those bodies . M . Carlowitz thinks if . Gerraany . waits for either . Bavaria " or Austria , it may wait a very , indefinite time- '; he is therefore prepared to go . ' . through and by Prussia to Germany , ' being nearly the only advocate'the Bund found in the Chamber .

, THE GREEK QUESTION . ¦ .,: ¦ We have received , through our Malta correspondent , dates from Athens to the 29 th January , the capture and detention of Greek merchant vessels by British Cruisers continued , and up to the date mentioned amounted- to , forty-one , ; chiefly grain-laden , taken at the Piraus , ; Poro 8 , Spezziai and Syra , and carried into Salamis . uiOther , fiveor . six were taken at Patras , and sent into Corfu in charge of prize crews . The number of Greek ships of vim detained amount to'five , the largest d . f . which is the Otioh ' e steamer .
King Otho and his miuisters have expressed their : determination not to accede . to , the :, demands of Great . Britain , unless the other- ! two protecting Powers ( Russia and France ) counsel such a measure . The exchange of diplomatic notes had ceased for some days , partly by reason of the instructions which the Ministers of France and Russia were awaiting , from their respective governments , and partly from the boisterous weather . prevailing , which rendered communications with the bay of Salamis , where Mr . Wyse and Admiral Sir Vm . Parker , with all his fleet except the Odinj were at anchor .
Themerchants of Greece had protested against the capture and detention of merchant vessels ,-and though the people seemed at first to side with the Ministry , there were at the . latest date signs of an opposite feeling , which might " become serious . The only ships of war at the Piraus were the Odin , Britishsteam'frigate ; : the Diana corvette , the Marianna steamer ( Austrian , ) the Vedette French steamer , and a Russian corvette . * AnEnglish war-steamer is said to have run on shore , * by being decoyed on to a dangerous shallow by a small Greek merchant craft which she was in the act of chasing .
Athens , Feb . 4 . —M . Thoiivenal . has contradicted the report that Gen . Aupick was , privy , to the desine of the British admiral on sailing from the Darda neliss to Salamis .,, The country is very quiet ; the people wait with composure the solution of the question by the protecting powers ' . The folio tving facts seem to betoken a not unfriendly disposition towards the blockaders . —A boat , with a dozen English sailors , and an . officer on , board ,. was upset ' lately , in
the Pn » us . The Greek sailors immediately exerted themselves with the best means . and alacrity to assist the capsized , who were all , safely brought to shore . Two , benumbed with cold ; were taken into a private house , where they received every assistance and attention till they recovered . On the beach of St . Andrew , near Patras , the English steamer Antelope , with troops and despatches onboard , ran aground . Two Greek war-schooners came immediately to her assistance . .. .
We extract the following from Malta correspondence , dated Feb . 18;— - .. ' The merchants at Athens were getting weary of the' check on their commerce , and in some few ius » stances had remonstrated ' with the Hellenic govern , ment . ' . " ; ' . ' ;„ 7 '\ .. ' -, ' At , Athens , the people were , by . no means disaffected towards the English ; at . Patras the feeling ! was more hostile ; and thevfaci ; of two war-boats having been seized by the Rosamond , and towed to Corfu , bad contributed not a little to keep up the angry feeling which already existed . • The Consul had plainly intimated to tbe English who were desirous to land for the purpose of sporting that he could not guarantee their safety from insult .

'A very melancholy accident occurred on the 7 th utfc ., by which twelve : lives were lost .. From , the very imperfect accounts , which have reached this island , the following account may be accepted as nearly as possible to the truth : —Lieutenant Michael Breen , a young man who had but recently received his lieutenancy , and at the same time an appointment to the Ganges , 84 , . Gapt ., Smith , had been sent with the pinnace , containing nineteen
hands , from the bay of Sa'amis' to the Pirseus for water . Having accomplished his duty , he set sail on his return , and when near Pigeon Island , the wind blowing strong , the pinnace was capsized . By this accident six men were drowned . The lieutenant ; with the remainder of the crew , struck manfully , out , and succeeded in reaching Pigeon Island , but here , owing to the ; intense cold , he , with others , was frozen to death , before , assistance , was . sent 1 1 regret not being in possession of the names of the sufferers .
; Pigeon Island is remarkable , as containing several monnments erected to the memory of officers and men who have been drowned near the spot . The wind often blows with frightful violence' between the Bay of Salamis and the Piraws . '

¦*; : ' . ' NATIONAL REFORM LEAGUE . The usual Friday evening lecture ' in advocacy of tbe principles and objects of this association was , on the 22 nd ult . delivered byMr . Hart , in . consequence of the . absence : of : the president ( Mr . O'Brien , ) , who was still in Scotland . . . Previous to commencing his lecture ; Mr . Hart read an extract of a letter from Mr : O'Brien , stating that he had , on the 18 th , addressed a large audience in the City Hall , at Glasgow , on the principles of " National Reform ; " and that they received his exposition with much approbation . The letter also stated that branches of the League were . about to be formed at Glasgow , Edinburgh , and other towns in the north .
Mr . Hart's lecture was principally devoted to the elucidation of one of the main propositions of the League , arid the nationalisation of the land'of the kingdom . He remarked that the time was coming when it would riot do to refer to a bit of parchment as the basis of a . ' right , especially a right to possess individual property iri the , soil , A right must be based on imuiutable principles , either natural or striptural , He expressed . a great regard for . the political economy of scripture ; and said that if Christianity were really the / aw , as ; it is ostensibly the religion of this country , there would be no need of his standing ; there that evening to advocate human r ghts . He k : n . referred to the Mosaic code which did not admit of the private possession ' of land in
such a way that a ' man could dispose of the fee . simples of it , as is done how . At stated periods , all lands reverted to the original families to whom it bad first been g iven . He thought that if anything could prove the . wisdom : and justice of the laws of Moaea it was this ordination ^ because it recognised the primary rig ht of humanity to a free soil ., Man had a ri g ht to the produce . of ' . his toil oh the land , but not to the laud itself , which . was the Lord ' s , and not man ' s . ' Custom had sanctioned the usurpation of the soil ; but when the evil consequences of that custom became fully discerned by society , common sense would universally protest against it , and insist
on its becoming state-properly , for the bent fit of the whole people . The lecturer then detailed the process by which it was proposed gradually to change the present system of land tenure ; and . showed how that change could be brought about , not only without injury to any class , but with obvious advantages to all classes . ; Mr . Hart concluded his able and instructive discourse by some forcible illustratiohs of the working-of our present monetary system ; . and shewed the necessity which had in our days arisen for a free money as well as a free soil ; a'guing that both were indg ^ enBable to secure Its jurt righta of rnant
