The recent official disclosures in France have borne their first
political fruit in an imposing demonstration at Colmar; where, on Sunday last, 160 electors of the Department of the Upper Rhine assembled to denounce the public corruption. M. Ronde, First President of the Royal Court of Cad- mar, filled the chair; supported by M. Sturch, Deputy for the Upper Rhine, and several members of the Municipal Councils of Strasbourg and Mul- haunt'. The following toasts, given from the chair, were enthusiastically cheered—" Electoral reform," " The union of nations," "'The French Revolution," "The realization of its doctrines and principles," " The orga- nization of labour," and "The probity of public authorities." The King's health was received with solemn silence, followed by a cry for the " Mar- seillaise." The Prince de Joinville was at Naples on the 3d instant; and it W4511 re-. marked that a very active correspondence was carried on between him and Count Rossi, the French Ambassador at Rome.
