Flourens and the venerable Blanqui are only not in prison because they are in hiding.
The mayors of the different arrondissements are being elected to-day, but no one seems to trouble himself about the election.
The vote of Thursday has somewhat surprised the bourgeoisie.

That one-seventh of the population should have registered their deliberate opinion that they prefer no Government to that under which they are living is by no means a reassuring fact, more particularly when this seventh consists of "men of action," armed with muskets, and provided with ammunition.

As long as the Line and the Mobiles remain here, Trochu will be able, if he only acts with firmness, to put down all tendencies to disorder; but were there to be a fight between the friends of the Government among the Garde Nationale and its opponents, I am not certain that the former would have the upper hand.

As it is, the Hotel de Ville and the Louvre are guarded by Breton battalions of the Mobile, and Vinoy has announced that if there is a disturbance he will at once march to the aid of the Government at the head of his division.

Many complaints are made about the mode in which the vote was taken on Thursday; some of them appear to me to be just.
