The election of delegatos which took place on the 23 instant, wilt meet the 4lh of Mny, to form n Constitution and elect a Govormnent, A letter i f rom Paris snys : The meeting is to be organizad by Dupont. - Victor Cousin, the philoaopher, will lead oii'by deelariag for the United States Constitution, supportod by Avagu, Garnier, Pages, te. Lamartine will oppose it, and intends to advocate an Assembly without nn upper House or Senatc, which he thinks to be too conservativo for a Republican forra of Governmen. It will be a stirring time the fourth of May. The Assembly will be protected in its debates, by two hundred thousand soldiera of the prople, who are tobe roviewed in camp de'mars on that clay. Now is tho crisis for France. Wbo does not feel n thrill i.f excitement at the tlionght of what is pending ? Upon her decisión liangs the destiny of Europe, and with wl'at intenso interest it is avvaited by all pnrlies. Tottering thrones are propped Ijy the hope, and the despots who occupied, and are still occupying thein, are clingingto italso, that the genius of Liberty which has so signally aided f ranee may now desert her, or be foiled by the thousand onemies that will not fail to assail her. - Aspiriug seltishness, and favoriiiera, exist there as every where, though not as conspicuous now, while kept in tho back ground by such important events, casts and prejudicflS, which have for ages existed, will not bo fbrgotten in a day, and will havo their influonce. The iabofing classes, who have everythi-ijg at stako, will be jcalous of their righta, and array themselvcs against any usurpation of thein. It can scarcely be expected that in the selection of nine bondred representatives, the people will carry out the entire sentiments and objects of the present leaders of the revolution. With a franchise onJy limited by age and the felon's brand; the thirty-seven mHlions of population, furnish, it is estimated, not far f rom six millions of voters, who will, at the ballot-box, decide the fato of nations, so far as riieir liberties are conct-rned, and this great mass will be more or less divided in sentiment, and influenced somewhat by the friends of Royalty, mnuy of whom there must still rsmain, who are etiinulated by being deprived of the possession of titles, wealth and honors. It has justly been said, that " Royalty is banished, not abandoned." lts friends will make a desperate eflfort, the pecuniary embanassment under which the Provisional Government exists, will aid them. May tbey not succeed ! exclaims every republican spirit. May the ibeautiful fabric, the "ideal Republic" of France become a reality, and stand as a heacon-Iight to geide other Government, until the last throne shall crumble to dust. and Despotism no longer pullute he eartli.
