The final result of the Departmental Elections in France is

very favourable for the Republicans. It is stated that the Conserva- tives .have got a majority in 44 and the Republicans in 40 Councils- General, while in two Departments the result is still doubful. At the last election the Conservatives could command 47 Councils- General and the Republicans only 39, the proportion being doubtful iu one. The Republicans, therefore, have gained a Department, while the Conservatives have lost two or three ; and in the Departments which the Republicans command, they have a larger majority than before. Assuredly this does not look like rural apprehensions of Republican violence.
