Our telegraphic summary frem Halifax embraced the chief points of the news. The London Times of the 12th inst. observes : Great exertion is keing used at Pembroke to tinish the Orlando, sorew steam frigate of 5¢ guns. She is now so far completed thet a few months will make her ready for daunching. This magnificent frigate will be the first launched of the half dozen ordered to compete with the monster American frigates, and, from ker great size, immense scentling and arma- ment, there isno doubt that she woald prove a most formidable opponent. She is the largest frigate in the service, being about 360 feat fa length over all. The Vienna correspondent of the London Limes ‘eys that the prevalent impression in Vieuns is that othe letter o# Orsini was published in the Paris Moni- eur in order that the Italiane might der Aus: ‘tria as the sole impediment to the unity and inde- pendence of their native courtry. The silence of the journals on thi subject is caused by the strict or@ers they have recsived to avold giving ellence te the French government. The Paris correspondext of the London 4ilobe, writing on the 10th inst., says:—To-day it appears that a wife and daughter of Orsini have come from Nice. The lady has long been living apart from her “pusband, but in his present position old affection has resumed its intluence. They meet to part to-day. The English Partiement met on the 12th inst. The following members of the Ministry took tke r. Disraeli, oaths and their seats after re-election:—! Mr. Walpole, Lord Stanley, Mr. Cairns, Mr. Henley, Sir F. Kelly, Lord J.

Mr. Layard is pursuing his couree quietly in India —travelling through the country, coming into egree- ablefamiliarity with such of the Indian chiefs as are fa- vorable to British rule,and picking up a great variety ” of intormation, which he will be able to turn to good account at no distant day. A private letter bas been published from him in which he gives an account of a-yery hearty reception accorded to him by a nabob, *mamed Salar Jang, towards the close of the year, at Hyderabad. He speaks of the climate as delightful, and states that his friend, Saler Jang, placed an ele- phant and a horse at his disposal. Thomas Johnson, the American sailor, who endea- vored in the most silly manner to seduce a regiment at Sunderland (Eng.) to “rise, disarm the officers, march on the, town, and proclaim the republic,” was tried for the offence at Durham assizes, and was sen- tenced toa month's imprisonment.- + The total amount of the debt of Spain is stated by the Madrid Espana to be 14,644,110,969 reals.

Our Paris Correspondence, Panis, March 11, 1858. / More Tyrannical Restrictions—The Censorship of (fe Press— Surveillance of the Police—The Late Insurrection— Multiplicity of Arreste—The Anti- English Feeling The Freedom in the Meat Trade <The Siamese Embassy— War between the Pastry Cooks and Bakers—The Amyrtean Horse Tamer, So FO, : I regret to say that no sensible improvement. has taken place in the general disposition of France since I last wrote. Everywhere you bear but one expression ; that the Emperor or bis ministers—no matter who. driving’ matters too far; that what might have been supportable under the dread of universal anarchy, or a reign af terror in 1852, is perfectly intolerable now; that the evil is duily in- creasing; that, little by little, every vestige of liberty is disappearing; thatthe French peopie are becom- dng the laughing stock of the world, and that if not reduced to absolute Egyptian bondage, they are, by the suppression, one after another, of every inde pendent organ of communication, brouzht to a state of utter Egyptian darkness, The Pressé and the Siecle must no longer be sold in the public thorough tares.of the metropolis, or of anyvof the chief towus, and the censorship exercised over the articles pub- lished is so rigid that even the more |iveral journals become as little interesting as their oilicial compeers. Not a day arrives but with it accounts from the provinces, in the shape of private betters, which do not speak of continual arrests. In Paris itself men are hauled over by the police on the «t frivolous +xts, and after a tew days—sometines a few hours’ detention, dixmissed with no inde:mnification for the loss or inconveni they may have sustain- ed. The capital literally «warms with police, and when, about 3 jock—which is the hour when the Emperor or some of the imperial party may be ex pected to take the air—the peering glances and «ud- den, sharp turns of the head which, from officials, in and out of their proper costume, the passenger is com- pelled to encounter, are quite obnoxious. English men, and—as often mistaken for such —Americans are peculiarly exposed to Shis, and arrests have even been made which have called for the summary in- terfence of their respective embassies. The truth is, ral dread prevailing at headquarters; ror himself, who is ab personal fear, is compromised by the system he has created, and which binds up in his satety the material being of #0 many hungry and rapacious officials, The affair at Chalon-surSaone, to which even the government organs ascribe the importance of the term “insurrection,” and whieh occurred on Satur. day last, is merely an indication of what combusti ble materials exist elsewhere. The Emperor is grossly deceived by the prefets and wretched hire- lings who overlay the country, and who forward to him nothing but smooth things, when it is notorious that the provinces are sick at heart with the system of dictation, interference and espionage which en- ters into all their relations, It is very well to say that under cover of darkness anda snow storm & stall post of infantry were surprised, and that the rioters were thus able to seize some muskets which were standing In the rack. The attempt has failed at Chalon-sur-Saone, and that is enough; but the fact is a patent one that a very considerable body of the people, in spite of the police, did concoct a plan for surprising the guard and seizing arms,and did partially succeed, displaying, till overwhelmed by large forces, considerable intrepidity and deter- | mination and that the military commandant and the sub-prefecture was thrown into a state of great alarm. It is very well to pretend that such an ‘in surrection” was got up simply because of the inter | ruption in the “service of a steamboat;” but facts | through private sources occur every day proving that such is not the case, but that there is throagh- | out the coontry a busy spirit pervading the masacs of socte hat caunothe kept down mach longer. devil, no | true interest, as the ce afair way — be joined ima firme the leading men or g)y hend it; buiat 13 not p: derstands it qu oligarchy does. | there must be one ou a copy per next | the phlet, which is | all dications ‘o | Fa -atre of Europe's gravity, to ee; ror here and parties in Englaud compre- obable that the Emperor un- ce in the same sense that the English ‘he old Bonaparte system was that great empire to counterbalance ower of ¢cher riving dominances, and spite of r.

This sentiment, the only one which is a common bond of interest throughout the length and breadth of the land, is too precious to be sacrificed by Napoleon for any sublimated theory of a counterpoise against “the two empires of the East and West,” as those of America and Russia are called; and though he may subscribe to the doctrine in theory, his mode of pesetionlly carrying it out may require more rough ndling than fon! expect, Ostensibly there ts good reasou to believe that the present difficulty with England will be amicably arranged. A letter, such as the Emperor approves of, has been submitted to him by Lord Cowley on the Es of Lord Malmesbury; and the new ministry in England will start fair with the French alliance in- scribed on its banners. The Emperor likewise has expressed himself quite satisfied that the Conspira- cy to Murder bill should be dropped, in order to heal the breach, as he 8, With the English people. But the dragon's teeth have been already sown in both countries, and the chances area hundred to ‘one that, apite of “mutual blood shed in the Urimea and before Canton,” &c., &c., the bond as it was betore is irrevocably broken. I believe no one here gives ing worthy the name of a lease to the power et the new Euglish ministry. If there is one thing that the members of the English Parliament detest more than another, it is the idea of being sent back to their constituents. Disraeli knows this perfectly well, and he has given | a hint of it at Buckingham. But it won't do. Since the Retorm bill of 1832 members are too closely watched by their constituencies to admit of their playing fast and loose as formerly, and the govera- ment is to take nothing by holding the threat of dissolution over the House of Commons, be yond some twenty members of no character. ‘They must dissolve at once, if they mean to do so at all, on the very first majority they encounter. The result will be ‘precisely what took place when Wil- liam tho Fourth, in 1835, turned out the whigs. Peel dissolved, and withons obtaining his majority, handed over a Peel Parliament to Lord Melbourne. ‘The idea prevails here that Palmerston will, after a dissolution, have to take the government with the Derby-Disraeli Parliament. The approaching freedom in the trade of meat is exciting considerable animation among house- keepers. The butchers trade in Paris is perhaps one ot those which exact the least capital. In London it is very different. There very long credit is given, and without very considerable capital it is quite im: ossible for a butcher to drive a lucrative commerce. lere five or six thousand francs is sufficient. It is essentially a ready money trade. The capital ex- pended returns to the till before nightfall. At the same tine rent is so hich that it is expected that competition will be materially decreased in conse- quence of the difficulty of procurio. shops. A great struggle was made to obtain yp: aission to hawk meat about, as with fruit and fish at present, on have been a most unseemly sight in so fair a capital. We are greatly enlivened by the presence of the Siamese embassy, the members of which are quar- tered at the Hotel du Louvre. Every day they leave their hotel crowds cluster around the doorway to catch a glimpse at them. Last night they visited the French Opera. After the first act of the piece—the “ Cheval de Bronze”—M. Feuellet de Conches, introducer of ambassadors at the Impe- rial Court, conducted the Eastern strangers behind the scenes among the ballet girls, Great was the flutter among that airy crowd as the dark sons of the East made their appearance. No one certainly seemed especially ambitious of having th handker- chief thrown to them; butas it is usual on visila- tions from distinguished personages for some plea- one ot those Koh-i-noors which are supposed to be everlastingly about the persons of all wanderers from the East. At one time the younger ambaasa- dor planged bis hand in his pocket, and there was a movement of general expectation. Alas! it only drew forth a pouncet box containing bon bons, whieh the avidity; and when their Eastern excellencies departed without having made the much coveted signs of their approbation, it was unani- rumor sags; they wee never known be daanimous before—that an uglier, more loathsome and disgust- ing specimen of diplomacy was never seen in Paris before. This is the second time thata Siamese mis- siou has appeared in the French capital. The first was received in great state by Lonis X nd Vol- taire, in his history of the reign of that march, speaks of the astonishment excited in Paris by the rieh oriental costumes which the ambassadors in their cuiée displayed. sterday,and presented the members of the em- say with a bouquet. The pastry cooks here are waging war with the by selling biscuit. The average yearly consumption ot ‘pastry per head in the capital is estimated at ten ounds, The quantity of paté de fois gras consumed s calculated at 200,000 pounds Ver aunura. Orsini and Ins companions, it is expected, will have suffered the last penalty by the end of this week. Mr. Rat golden opinions from all. The Emperor has su9- scribed 2,000f. to the subscription last opened at Tattersall’s for the purchase of hissecret. His mas. tery over the fiercest spirits of the equine race amounts to that of Oroheus himself over the beasts of the forest. Tra f France. (Paris (March 7) correspondence of the Loudon Tim It is impossible to disguise the fact that the trade of France is not at present in as healthy a state as could be wished. The unfavorable influences which act on commercial affairs are of two kinds—the one political, the other financial. The consequences which have resulted from the attempt to assassinate the Emperor on the Ith of Jaauary are more disas- . caused so much displeasure in England, aud pro- duced a misunderstanding between the two govern- throughout France and caused a derangement in but it will require a long time to restore that conti- elasticity to commercial transactions. This unfavora- ble political influence was experienced in France at the moment when trade was still suffering from a financial crisis and consequent dis- couragement. Unfortunately, moreover, the finan- cial crisis was prolonged in this country by the very efforts made to neutralize it, and to’ facilitate the arrangement of outstanding engagements. The consequence has been that mercantile failures are now annoanced in the provinces which should have taken place in November and December last, had not those houses postponed the evil da, on accommodation bills, The immediate consequence of the crisis, and of the falling off in the transmission of merchandise from one part of the country to another, is a diminution in the railway companies’ receipts. During the first six months of last year the traffic on the railways excited by commercial speculation was enormous. At present the traffic is ap aoe there being scarcely any business doing. he principles of political economy are as yet #o little understood in this country that cries are heard something.” Others, more wise, reply, “ All that can be done is to declare liberty of commerce— the rest is the work of time and circumstances, It takes bot one day to shake confidence—it re- quires months to restore it.

It is en- titled L’Empereur Napotéon III, et |’ Angleterre. | ‘The greatest curiosity has been excited by the know- ledge that some such production was shortly to ap- pear, and, as you may suppose, this curiosity is not the less intense that, though it is the work of an eminent publicist, a member of the Council of State, et the inepiration has been derived from the very if hest source. People are anxious to know what will be eaid on the question which has agitated the two countries since the 1th of January. 1 am enabled to anticipate its public appearance by a day, and give the following translation, which, hurried as it is, will enable you to judge of. the manner in which recent important incidents are treated in it. Here it is:— We believe there is a duty to be fulfilled towards public opinion; it consists in making an impartia and calm voice be heard amid the passions which have been for a moment unjustly excited ia England. We are confident we shall be understood on the other side of the Channel. We shall be sparing of obser- vations; above all, we shall recall facts. When Louis Napoleon was elected President of the republic he only tound about him, in the assembly which was to share and often embarrass his govern- ment, parties hestiie or unsympathetic to Eugland. The Legitimists persevered religiously to our old enemies the historical resentment of our ancient na- tional strifes. The republicans remembered Pitt leagued with Coburg against the Revolution in order to crush it. The Orleanists regretted the protection which had bumiliated them, all the more on account of the abandonment they had experienced before their fall. Finally, the partisans of the Empire still groaned under the most melancholy recollection of cotemporancous history. What was the heir of the Emperor Napoleon I., become chief of France, going to do? Was he about to yield to the rancor and the prejudice of parties? Was he to foster by his exam- le the international hatreds still alive at the recoi- lection of Waterloo and St. Helena? Was he about to avenge, at least by his coldness, his name and character, outraged by the Knglish press at the moment of his election? No. Exile is a school of wisdom and of maturity for those whom God destines to reign. At that school Louis Napo- leon Lad learnt much and had forgotten much. He only remembered the hospitality which had soothed the trials of his days of adversity—he only con- sidered the great interests which drew France and England together in the cause of civilization. In 1849 the Porte was menaced by Austria on ac- count of the asylum it had afforded the Hungarian getiul of the recol jecslans of the eve, insulted the Kmperor, bis acts, his intentions. The Emperor re- mained impasrible. Nay, more; trom a spirit of moderation, and for the sake of harmony, France and Russia agreed with England.

At that moment the revolt in India broke out. If France had been less sinceve in her sentiments, less disin- terested in her Views, the occasion was a fine one to show herself msre ree-rved, more exacting, perhaps, towards her jy, The Emperor thought aud acted otherwise. 'The embarrassments. which the war in India imposed on England only rendered him more concilisting at Osborne on the question of the Prin- cipalities, He offeredjeven at a later period to the Guglish government to pass its troops through our territory, aud he inscribed his name, with the Im- verial Guard, at the head of the subeription for the victims of the Indian insurrection. We now come to what is most painful between the two countries—tofwhat would be the most capable, without a frank explanation, of affecting the confi- dence which is the furce of their alliance. This ex- planation has hecome necessary, not to raise com- plaints, but to explain facts, and to justify the senti- ments which are manifested in France. The attempt of the 14th of January struck Paris, France, and all Europe with stapor. After having tirst returned thanks to God, people asked, what was the origin of that erime-- whence came the assassins—in what circle they had conceived thoughts which had nothing buman in them, so per- | verse and savage were they? The assassins had — come from England. The crime had been prepared, | encouraged, pe for, perhaps, by those soeieties of refugees who dishonor the generous hospitality of | a free country by sheltering there the permanent | conspiracy of assassination. | People very naturally say to each other in | France, “ How is it, then, that itis always in | England that attempts against the life of the Em- | peror and against society are prepared? Is this | what we ought to expect from an alliance so loyally | observed during the peace, and so gloriously ce- mented during the war?” | The attempt of the 14th of January was not, in | truth, the first which had emanated from London. Other crimes less terrible, but the thought of which was as guilty, had the same origin. They all have birth in those revolutionary associations, held peri- refugees. The President of the Republic thought that France was not uninterested in that altair, which seemed to touch some grave European ques- tions.

Nearly at the same time the author of that odious pampblet pronounced a discourse over the grave of a French refugee, avd it was on the edge of the tomb, profaning death itself, he dared to make this appeal to revenge: “When, then, shall an heroic hand settle the ac- count of blood? Is it not time to revenge the dead and save the living? When a man raises himself aboye public justice, he ought to fall under the hand of an individual.” More tnan 10.000 persons hailed these impious words, and the English press, in giving them publici- ty, either to reprove or to stigmatize them, carried thom to all parts. The reprobation which they find in honorable minds is easily haoned into complaints against the government which tolerated them. The attempt of the 14th of January gave to these complaints an opportunity of being make pnblic. came, whence the murderers set out, everything that we enumerated was recollected—the number of the preceding at- tempts, their origin, the bond which attached them to the revolutionary affiliations, the incessant ap- peals to vengeance, which were replied to by death giving explosions—then, without takin; to ac- count the fatal chance which had collected the most vi- olent refugees of all countriesin London and the con- sequences of this meeting ina country so free as land, with institutions so compretensire as hers, mblic oper sensibly affected by a collection of jacts which all had the same orign, accused a tole- rance which had disquieted it for a long time past.

On the 29th June, 1852, the police discoveredina | house in the Rue Blanche, near the Barriere #on- tainebleau, a regular manufactory of infernal ina- chines, intended tor an attempt which was to be made in the month of August. The instigation of this crime came from London. The journey to that capital of one of the contumacious accused, his rela- tions with the refugees, the correspondence seized, leave no doubt on that point. In January, 1853, Kelsch was arrested in Paris, after a stout resistance, together with Galli and Rossi. Kelsch, whose wicked lans had been defeated by the police, came likewise om London. Information proves that he was sent and — by the Central Democratic Committee, of which Ledru Rollin and Mazzini are the principal chiefs. Being transported to Cayenne, he obtained his pardon from the clemency of the Emperor. Some months later the ex-Sergeant Boichot arrived in France; the police captured him—justice convicted him. Boichot came trom London, like tie others. Jn 1854, Magen, oue of the most active instruments | Elysee to congratulate the President. He received » them with much coldness, which proved that he did not share their approbation of a measure the afte: of which might be to rouse the antagonism of two countries. The 2d of December came.

Already, in | ‘1862, at the time of the most violent attacks of the English prese, the city of London most energeti- cally protested against a controversy which was re- volting to its common sense and patriotism. Two ears alterwards, when the Emperor, accompanied y the Empress, visited as an ally the Queen of the e trous than could have been anticipated. Thence | Three Kingdoms, he met only with sympathy and sprang the violence of the military addresses, which | respect in that great country. We now come to another phase of contempora- neous events. The Eastern question occurs; war is concluded between France and England. How has this alliance been ractived by the two papel It the other, | not have acted with more loyalty, more inutaal de- votion, more of confidence under the trials which both had passed through. As for our part—and it may be permitted to us to be proud of it as of a part | of our glory—we gave our co-operation under every | form. There were not wanting persous then who less perceived a French than an English interest in the war in the East. Unaflected by that opinion, the 1 had sent to the Crimea double the number of soldiers that the English did. A good and | jong understanding was one of the most formal instructions which he gave to the General- in-Chief. That inspiration of the sovereign of y by raising money | France became the rule of our army in its rela- tions with the English army. Defending the same cause, exposed to the same danger, both ar- mics had common daties and commen interests; they owed to each other a mutual assistance at every moment. Fer our part, we gave it with an impulse anda see will of which the example is rare in mili- tary history between even the combatants of the tame nation. At Inkermann we rushed at the fret call of our allies to share their dangers and to second their heroism under the terrible pressure of the Ras- inter, the fatigues of a gigantic siege, the immense losses caused by fire cold and sickness having considerably diminish the strength of the Eng army, several French regiments shared with them the duties of their own lines; they helped them to open routes, to transport cannon and provisions, The English paid us back they con- veyed in their ships our troops to matound, and a part of those sent to the Crimea. At a later pe- riod, when their army was reorganized, we found Their hespitais were open for our sick, their medicines were at the disposal of our soldiers. This is what pasted in Russia. On the battle field the two people were but one; the soldiers ander the and to tri omph together. After the peace won by their com- mon glory, the alliance cemented by that noble fra- ternity of heroiem, and of combats seemed for ever after unalterable. One would have said that we had buried our rivalry in the same grave os our dead, under the sands of the Crimea, and that those yene- roue vietitns bad effaced by their blood, shed for the a subject of surprice for our fathers, who lived in the hatreds of other tines, if they could see the Hnglish he eff: of the martyr of St. Helena; and the sone of those »o wearing, with the same which is engraved the image of at pride, the medal on the Queen ef Fin The alliance however, ad then appeared indissolub! Soon, epsion arove on the interpr ation of | it required to | Jacquin, of Brussels, D | to the F cf Ledra Rollin, invented bombs which were to exploce by a simple shock. Convicted in Belgium by detault, he tled and took refuge in London, with his accomplices, Sanders and Brunet, in the midst of conspirators and assassins, who received lium asa | be justiee which he owed to all, the calmness which he owed to himself. We must, however, oberve that in France there is more of indignation than disquietude with re; to these organizations of refugees, who, as en seen, aim at the Emperor's life because the’ regard himas the shield ot social order, and an o! stacle to universal rape 8 If they. are regarded with horror by all the world, they inspire only the weak with fear; but they cause no terror to society or to the government. It must be remarked that of the plots which we have enumerated two only have been carried out—thank God! without success. All the others were baffled by the energetic vigilance of the French police, as active in priveting evil as the revolutionists are ardent in making it triumph. As to the English people, they profess, we are aware, a horror equal to ours for those crimes which are pre among them to be executed among us. But, without undervaluing their sentiments, without touching in the slightest degree the independence of their institutions, it is permitted to consider those attempts so often repeated as warnings, and to find in them the indication of it duties for all govern- ments. Thus, after the 14th of January there was but one single cry throughout France for two things— first, the removal from our frontiers of the assassins condemned by the courts of justice; secondly, the in- terdiction of the public apology of assassination in journals or at meetings. That wish was conveyed in the speeches of the great bodies of the State, in the addresses sent up by the magistray, the munici- brother. Some time after the conviction of Magen the police | arrested at Batignolles aman carrying a grenade of | the same fn a del as that of Magen. This was C eza,a member of the Universal Fraternal Soci formed of th Charles Deleclw: the Carpeza bad already been convicted affiliated with secret societies, the 4th of August, 1855, he was sent to Cayenne, whence he managed to escape. Even before the conclusion of the trial of Magen and his contederates an infernal machine was dis- _ covered by chance on the Northern Railroad, con- structed on the otra nig toa ome as those which we to have burst under the imperial train. The investi- | gation commenced te) Van proved the guilt of le ty remnants of the society organized by y of Ledru Rollin. f having been Deron, Louis (of Lille) Vandomme, the brothers | Tenine and Desquiens. The first four were sentenced to death by coutumacy. Deron, the principal instigator of the plot, fled to | London, where he lived in intimacy with Ledra | Rollin, of whom he afterwards became the most | constant companion. i On the 28th April, 1858, Pianori fired almost point | blauk two shots at the Emperor. He arrived from | London, and it was Mazzini who placed the wi of crime in his hands. But that is not all. The democratic societies of that capital strack a medal | commemorative of the act of courage of Pianori, A | meeting was held in Septewber, and there were | found orators there who amidst the applause of the assembly pronounced an apology for the attempt in the Champs Elysees, and deplored the death of Pia- | nori as that of a martyr. A short time later Tibaldi, Grilli and Bartolotti were arrested before they could carry their designs | into execution. These wretches were merely the | servile instruments of implacable perversities, It was again from London that the impuixe was given | to this new attempt from the centre of those refa- gees where justice found the guilty, branded them, convigted them, without being able to reach them or to Strike them, Finally, on the Mth of January, 1868, four Italians threw their bombs under tye carriage of the Empe- ror, who was sonar saved, as well as the Empress. These bombs killed 10 persons and wound: | ed 166. The new assassins arrived from London. ‘These terrible projectiles, which, in missing their aims, struck so many victims, and changed the scene of murder into a frighttul carnage, were manufac- | tured in England. Two Englishmen, Allsop and | Hodge, figure in this plot, at the same time as Fran- cis bernard, a refugee, living in London. To there numerous attempts must be added the | agitation which incessantly provokes them. The re- volutionary associations, composed of refugees, join theory to practice. These associations are possessed of indefatigable activity. Sometimes divided by per- sonal differences, they always agree to encourage and glorify attempts mye the Eimperor. They hold their meetings, they deliver « hes, they publish and circulate writings. Some of them succeed in oe into France, either in small pamphlets which escape all search, or through the foreign jour- nals. In that case, for a few madmen who admire these sanguinary follies there ts an immense majo- rity of honest men, whose interests are alarmed, whose consciences are excited, and who ask each other with surprise, mixed with uneasiness, how sach infamies can be freely and publicly circulated in a civilized country. To explain these im it is necessa state to what extent the violence and of these revolutionary preachings can be car- ried. The following tact refers to the of the month of November, 1857, and it will from it how direct provocations bombs of the Mth of January. There is @ coftee honee near Temple Bar, in London, where the question to be discussed in the evening is announced in the morning. The public are invited to take in the discussion. This coffee house is called ion Forum. People eat and drink there, and at the same time talk politics, A man, paid by the proprietor, presides and directs the debates, In the month of November the following order of the day was publicly posted—"'Is_regicide permitted under certain circumstances?” ‘Bhe ques- ton was publicly discussed. * ‘This is, moreover, not a transitory or isolated fact, for that which has taken place since and takes place every day aggravates it still more. On the 9th of February just the French club, which meets at the Wylde Reading Rooms, Leicester square, held a tting, at which Simon Bernard, the accomplice of Orsini, expressed himself He declared that the with the greatest violence, Ky vt, his Ministers, M. de Persigny—all the high French functionaries, were ont of the pale of the law, and he invited all those listening to him to yush upon them by all means in their power. This speech. in which the yee contends with the hor. f tible, was hailed with enthusiastic applanse. In fine, a few days since, on the 24th of Febraary last, Felix Pyat published, under the title of “A Letter rhament and to the Press,” the true mani- festo of astarsination, a worthy corollary to all these incitement, to that crime. More than fifty pamphlets have been ene ad, and most of them fi London, since 1862. We might qive quotations here which would prove that during six years past the apology for assassination has been periuanent—almost daily. We shall confine our- selves to come lines borrowed from a pannphlet pub: lished by Felix Pyat in 1857. They will be more “In spite of all your precautions— notwithstanding than sufficient to prove what we assert: { horrible words, and still’ more al councils, and the National Guard. The ad- esses of the army were naturally more animated; (plus vives;) they expressed with an energy pecu- liarly military the feeling France. A few of them only were of anature to wound the susceptibility of England. Count Walewski bas given on teat point an explanation, the perfect good faith of which cught to have effaced and repaired all. in Loudon it was made a pretext to awaken na- tional susceptibility, and to misrepresent the con- duct and intentions of the French government. Peo- 9 were made to believe that France demanded of England and of the neighboring countries to re- | Bounce the right of asylum—a sacred right which he respects and practices, since she affords a refage © more than ten thousand Italians, Spaniards, Ger- mans, Poles, and even a subsidy to a great number of them. The right of asylum, then, need not be defended against us. Far from attacking, we respect it, as one of our traditional institutions. Janes Il. and his partisans, betrayed by fortunes found in the hospi- tality of Louis XIV. a compensation for the country they had lost’ Charles Edward, the vanquished of Culloden, returned to France, and, if unfortunately the right of asylum was violated in his in, itwas because the weakness of Louis XV. could not protect him against the demands of England. Charies Ed- ward, arrested on leaving the opera, was obliged to conceal himself in Italy, where he died. It was a shameful exception, which shows to what a depth we were fallen, for it must be said that under all governments France has opened her doors to the Joreiguers whom political causes drove from their country. It is not the Emperor Napoleon IT. who woald abandon the traditions of our history, in which are blended the recollections of his own destiny. He cannot forget that during his exile he profited by the right of asylum, — maintained hr his favor by Switzerland, and loyally practised by England in his adversity. He has no thonght, then, of disturb- ing asacred right which was his a ae The representatives of ancient dynasties live in countries which are our near neighbors, The Emperor has never thought of being alarmed by their presence near our frontiers, or of demanding their removal, as was done with respect to himself in 1838. He re- spe misfortune more than others have respected his own. Now more than ever the right of s«ylum is sacred for us. France, who would not sacrifice it to any one, does not ask allied or neighboring Powers to sacrifice it—she merely asks of other States to do what she is ready to do for them. But the right of asylum which protects the repre- sentatives or the defenders of causes that are Moet must not be confounded with the right of refage which shields assassins from the responsibility of their crimes. There is in the confusion of twothings so distinct not only @ violation of morals but a dan- ger ca Will it be said that the right of asylum exercised in England protects men or parties, and not the authors or the accomplices of assas#ina- tion? We have already shown whence came the conspirators who attempted the lire of the Emperor; we have also shown who were their accomplices, from: what quarter epee od the incitement to crime, in ve country the apology of that crime was free and public. If, a8 Mr. Gibson said, Count Walewski deceived the ee ile in pointing out to their good faith and pi ty these public apologies for assassi- nation, which take place haa day under the tole- rance of this generous hospital V4 we pass condem- nation. But is Count Walewski in error! We have made quotations which suffice to establish these facts. We could multiply them, and quote still more horrible writings, bat we should fear, by mingling with such a statement the echoes of the most savage passions, those ap- peals to murder, those outrages against all that 19 most sacred in the world, to disturb its calmness and impartiality. Is there any need to give evidence? In London there are held meetings where assassina- tion is glorified. In London are sold atrocious libels in which the murder of the sovereigus of Barope is elevated to a system, to a right, toa duty, in which thrones, altars, armies, laws, the magistracy, socie~ ty, and God himself, are dragged through blood and mire. Such saturnatia surpass even barbariem. ‘There is not a law in ancient or in modern times which tolerates them; and can it be pretended that this tolerance ison the part of England — the exercive of the right of asyiam? Asylam is due to vanquished parties; it is due to all, withont excep- tion; it is due even to the rebels who, after having attacked the laws of their country, put the frontier between them and their rebellion. That frontier is inviolable {But it is not due to the monsters who are of no party, except it be the party of assassination, England cannot thus understand the application ofthe noble right of asylum. She cannot cover with this principle of ‘humanity crimes which have nothing human about them. Her conscience has already revolted against such an interpretation, which is alike disowned by her own history, It is not the first time that the right of asylum has been abused in London, and that it has heen at tempted to shelter there the provocation of crime. In other times, which are not far distant from as, edious pamphlets have been published in England, under the cover of her hospitality, against the chiefs of foreign governments. We hasten to observe that these pamphlets, though very violent, ‘tight pass for moderate on a comparison with those of the present day. Those publications were, neverthelow proceeded against, ond condemned by the justice. The details of those ms this moment an interest proceedings have at
