ON the 12th of September last the Diligence set oat from Tlemcen for Or= about three in the morning. It was the ordinary public conveyance, with its eight hones, two postilions, and a conductor. The road is one of the mod frequented in Algeria, and ought to be as safe as Hamad between Lemke and Liverpool. Amongst the pmessigcra was the Aga Bet• APDALL llt and his secretary. The Diligence bad scarcely left the gates of Tlemcen than it was overtaken by horsemen. Pistols are heard, bat at first the shots are taken far a Aside in bower of the great man inside. Hue A•DALLAII, it seres, was a great chief, ruled over a large district, and bad great influence • ith the French Generals in supreme command of the district. He was on hi way to Oran to complain to the General of the condnet of Captain Ilot%r.ec, of whom we shall hear more immediately. The mistake is soon disaipated. The Asthma turns out to be • serious attack. The Diligence is stopped. Some of the pas• severs fly. BEN ADDALLAII and his secretary axe brutally murdered, and in the fracas a IL. VsLarre is mortally wounded. The Diligema returns to Tlemcen with the dead bodies; the dis trict is in consternation. Who can have dime it ? The widow of Bore AIDALLMI, forgetting the cumin of her eanatep mass into the street, with dishevelled hair and issied with chains. She accuses one Bet HAN. OsMal DE RC it'TORT reports the matter to Go ma inquiries are set on foots guathally minfeuions are made; and at length Captain potnitte, the chief military oSteer of the district, is amused of the mime. It is known that for long he ham had differences with BLS AIIDALLAII. of whose influence he is jesiosa and that lately, instead of restoring some same w►ich had been taken from BIN A EIDALLEIOI paspie,flotnnio ordered them to be sold, and is up gued to hare shared the proceeds. Unless, there. Pea. Ban namtiAtt die, DOINEW must be de assaseed, and probably ruined. Heiler, with eighteen edam Dotnitit; IA put upon his trial before the ciya Tribunal. The trial lasted more than a week, and the result is that DoiNcit: hu been de emed from the Legion of Honour, and has been assionned to death. Without question this is one of the most re markable trials on record. Nor need we feel Bur prise at the intense interest which it has excited, not only in Africa but in Paris. Officers, it seems, flocked from all parts of Algeria to Oran, and even an English corvette disembarked some of hers, la order that they might be present. It was singular enough to see a French military officer tried before a civil tribunal. But this was not all. The trial of DOETEM: and the facts detailed by the Arab witnesses and French officers furnish the first official revelation of that system of colonisation, as it is culled, which has for so many years pre vailed in French .tfrica. Algeria is not a colony, it is a Pala-stn. This ens long suspected : it is now placed beyond doubt. The object which the French Government has in occupying that territory is not to civilise the natives and to bring them ander a better government. Algeria is • school of war for French soldiers; a safety-valve for enterprising spirits impatient of inaction and peace—above all, a mine of wealth to French officers without • sou, who, so long as they exhibit vigour and ability, are permitted to enrich themselves by plundering the Arab tribes. No wonder the military men, from the Generals downwards, were eager to screen their comrade Dottleat . They knew that his cruel exac tions were no new thing. They remembered the history of Sr. ARTAUD and a hundred others. Perhaps Dot:save had been over-hold ; but it is impossible to imagine a more perfect type of the French African soldier. The son of an officer who died utterly insolvent, Dotteeau must Ric by his own resources. He has lived in Africa from his childhood. He I. a perfect master of Arabic ; knows the manners and customs of the wild Arabs of the frontier ; and, according to the testimony of those under whom he has served, he is a man of consummate rigour and ability. He knows his profession thoroughly, and may be trusted to execute the most difficult operations. His promotion has been rapid, and he is enrolled in the Legion of Honour. lint he is insatiably ambitious ; his temper is savage and arrogant. If any one attempts to thwart him, he endeavours to over bear him. If that will not do he tries deception. Though ono of the Generals said upon the trial that his morality was without reproach, he himself confesses that he is a gambler and dis sipated. As his advocate sulked—Who can expect a Captain of Zouavee to be a mock Glory and wealth are the end of this man's life, and to obtain them everything must give way. He can bear un moved the charge of minder, but threaten to strip him of the cresol of the Legion of Honour—a atiled sob and his eyes raised to heaven attest his agony. Now this man was the chief of what is called an Arab Bureau. Practically, he was a despot throughout a certain district. Within that circle he was supreme. Tho Arab people trembled beueath his sway. They crouched before him. They declared in court, Dot,icsr was our Sultan. Ile was lord of 30,000 men. What be ecunisaaded was law. Let that family be plundered— it was dote. Let that man be shot—it was done. Pacort these men! What do you mean , some of Lis Blares would say. Pot them out of the way, I say. This, as DoiricAu himself told the Court, meant— Shoot them! If ho wanted money, nothing was easier the* te get it. Nlarshal Iti‘cAnt , , inked, bad leid down some humane revile. thee . with respect to these Arab Bureau, be the purpose it controlling Le exectioall ts which the poor people were subjected. Bat th.;,we were evaded. Besides the moneys unaccouteed for, Lire were " caster funds, of which no seemint was kept. It is easy to pick a quarrel. That is done. The head of the family is murdered. The wife and children are driven out. The property is sold. The chief of the Bowie seizes the proceeds. Such is the tyrannic system under which the native Arabs groan. Toe witnesses on this trial rove as much. And the fact that Ilotrmor had amassed a sum of 38,000 f., of which he refused to give any account, amply corroborates the wit nesses, if corroboration were needed. The only attempt at an explanation of the Zouave Captain's having so enormous a sum in his possession utterly failed. He Ina said to have received it from his step-mother. But, as the Arrotuticr-Orxrur said," Absorbed as " our officers are in the pursuit of glory, even they " would not neglect to invest so vast a sum." Under a system so despotic, how many must hare perished in order to satisfy the rapacity of this DOINSAV ? As the Arabs in their figurative way said : "If the bushes could only speak ! " Nor is this system of plunder confined to the French—the Arab Agee are no less exacting. One Khalifat is worth 4,0001. a-year. This very BEN ADDALLAH ham been shot at again and again by those whom he has phindered : he died enormously rich. Nor can any fflonsonstrate more clearly the insecurity of life Mieria, caused by this tyrannous system, than this—that the country cannot be traversed except under noon, and that the widow of this man, Box Anntrt. in, has already lost three husbands—all of whom died by violence. It is well that this trial of I)OtBEAt took place before a civil tribunal. We doubt whether the Arabs would have sy )ken out before a Court- Martial, the tenor inspired by these African soldiers is so great. If Doinr-v0 had escaped, it would have been a dreary prospect for them. Even now it is confidently stated that the extreme sentence of the law will not be executed. DOINEtt: is a man of family, and has good interest. Hut whether he dies or lives, we have no great hopes of a reform in Algeria. The system of administration may, no doubt, be improved, but we fear that the administra tive instruments—the French African officers—are canape beyond redemption. TIM reallaita which we centered to make on the absents of the Cabinet from the seat of Government, and at the withdrawal of the Court to a very distant part at the kingdom, have thrown the ultra-minis terial loathes into a flutter. It is quite scandalous for a respectable paper, says one, to talk in this way. It is altogether a mistake to suppose Ministers are not in London, says another. "The best of them "are here ; their Alifest, the PRINZ MINIsTER, at "their head." Notwithstanding these rebukes, and this strange explanation (in stranger English), ws return to the .object. During the first campaign in the Russian war the ABIRDZEN Cabinet dispersed exactly in the cams way that the PALMERSTON Cabinet has now dome. In like manner the Court betook itself to Balmoral. What was the consequence ? The conduct of the war, directed and supported from the country seats of one or two members of the Government, lan gaoled. One member of the Cabinet alone, Iced 1. RUSSELL, saw from the banks of the Clyde this abasase of vigour. He urged Lord ABERDEEN to &asp the War Minister and re-aseemble the Go vomment in London. Lord ABERDEEN rudely de stined to do so; and when the disasters became "horrible and heartrending," there followed one burst of national indignation at the neglect which had cha racterised the ABLIDEIN Cabinet. That which occurred in 1834 ought, we submit, to be a warning for 1837. It does not, however, appear to be so. The Court is again away, and the Cabinet is again dispersed. No one knows or can tell when the latter will meet again. Now, there is each a thing in this world, though some of our contemporaries don't appear to be swam of it, as a sense of propriety. The most terrible and afflicting calamity that ever befell a great country has befallen England. It is a calamity that has wrong hundreds of the best hearts in the country for the loss of their dearest and nearest relatives and friends ander circumstances of appalling atrocity and on- paralleled surprise ; and of this calamity no human being can at present foresee the molt. The Govern ment has, no doubt, sent out large masses of troops, and is raising great reinforcements to subdue the mutiny, and to reconquer Central India. But these troops will not reach the scene of disturbance sad insurrection for upwards of three months after their departure from England. It is exactly during that period that the suspense is most dreadful, that the news is most important, and that public feeling is most roused and excitable. Now, we will pat to the most ardent admirers of the Court, and the most devoted adherents of the present Government, if the withdrawal of the one to Balmoral or the abandonment of London by the other can, as a mere matter of good taste and propriety, convey any agreeable impression to the general pub lic. There are, it seems, persons whose minds are so constituted, or who regard the scenes passing in India as occurrences of such ordinary importance, as to approve of the Court and Cabinet absenting them selves from London as if nothing unusual had taken place. Not so the great body of the public, or the sincere and independent friends of the Crown and the Cabinet. By them the fact is noticed in another sense. It is accepted as evidence of the absence of that deep feeling for the honour and glory of Eng land which might have been expected to prevail now if ever, and of that want of that earnestness in pub lic affairs which the direst calamity has failed in some quarters to arouse. The question is not what the Court and the va rious absent members of the Cabinet can personally do in London. Is no offensive point involved in the monstrous assumption that there is nothing to do, nothing to consult about, nothing to deliberate on, nothing even to talk about, or to think about? that Ministers may be just as well and as usefully occupied in deer stalking or partridge shooting in all parts of the kiogdom, as in attending in London to this dreadful business? that everything that can possibly be suggested has been done, and that the whole duty of the Cabinet is to wait the result in the country? This, we repeat, is not decent. If the Cabinet be composed of three or four able men and a dozen nonentities, surely the latter class might have the good taste not to proclaim their own incapacity. But we will not do the great body of the Cabinet that injustice. No doubt, on such an occasion as this, Lord PALMERSTON is vastly superior to his col leagues. In nothing does he show his superiority more than in his present devotion to public busi ness. Hut even a man of his 'capacity would derive support, encouragement, suggestions, and evangel from the common deliberations of the colleagues he has chosen. He selected them, we have a right to assume, for their capacity and useful ness, their ability to aid and co-operate with him— not for their incapacity or uselessness, or because of THE EXPRESS, MONDAY EVENING SEPTEMBER 7, 1857. their willinf,;neis to let him have all his own way whenever he pleased. On all other subjects they meetni Council; ether topineatowever mamplitant,. t:ney disease as a bogy ; on "MI other questions they offer the Crown their common advice. Is it on India alone, is it on India in its present state, that they intend for the next three months to abstain from common deliberation, consultation, and resolution? It is one thing to commit the preparation of a measure to be proposed for legislation to &committee of the Cabifet, for the work of such a committee will be afterwards submitted for the approval of the entire body, and then discussed in Parliament. To such a reference no one can object. But it is another and • very different thing for the Cabinet .to delegate all its authority, all its functions as the Executive Government of the country, in the matter of a horrible mutiny and a great rebellion, to a couple of Ministers &misted by such of their col leagues as may happen to be in London for a day or two. This is not what the Crown or its subjects have • right to expect and require from a Cabinet. Lord PALMERSTON has repeatedly, and greatly to his credit, admitted the value of the assistance which Parliamentary discussions gave the Government daring the Russian war ; and the suggestive conver sations which took place last session on this Indian mutiny must have been equally valuable. In like manner the deliberations of fresh minds in Cabinet Councils cannot be otherwise than advantageous. But whether or not, u the Cabinet has in respect of India, and as on all other questions, a common re sponsibility, it ought not to separate at a time when that responsibility is the beet protection which the country can procure for vigorous meuures. We refuse, then, to inquire how many or how few members of the Government are absent from London, or whether "the best of them are here." The ques tion for the public is, Are the Cabinet Councils to be suspended during this awful crisis? Is the country, or is it not, in an unparalleled emergency, to have the benefit of a Cabinet? This iv a much larger question than the personal merits of the members of the Government now in London, or any invidious comparison suggested to cover and conceal the ex isting state of things. If in the growth of time it has become a settled principle of the British Consti tution that, under any circumstances, however sad and alarming, the Court is to bury itself in Septem ber and October, and the Cabinet to desert the scat of Government, leaving the whole duty of Govern ment to concentrate itself in the First Lord of the Treasury for those two months, let us have the fact admitted and acknowledged. But if at all seasons of the year the responsible political Minis ters of the Crown are bound, when occasion requires, to meet in Council, and to bring to the service of the Government their common deliberations and re sponsibility,then, sorely, never was an occasion more imperatively calling for Cabinet Councils than this mutiny in India. Let us hope, then, that Cabinet Councils will be immediately resumed, and that the Court will not this year prolong a visit to Balmoral, which we ven ture to think ought not to have been made at all.

At a dinner given at I)alkeith on Friday to Mr. Dundee, of Arniaton, on the occasion of the birth of a son and heir, the health of Lord Melville was proposed in con• melon with the army. In reply, Ma lordship said—l only wish I could say I entertain the hope that we have seen the wont in India. lam afraid that Wore the eervices of our army are brought to a close there we must prepare our for still wine calamities than we have already ref find, and, I fear, for {Dann of a severe character. It is not only that we have to provide an army for putting down th. rebellion, but we have to occupy the country as well as have a force engaged in moveable columns for the supprenion of the rebellion in different districts in India. This will require •largs force, and I am afraid such Sane es we have yet sent out is Dot adequate to the service that hem to be per formed. As almost eve?) , available soldier that Eng land can now produce is on his way to that country, orb engaged in our other possessions, I feel that if England moons to retain all her foreign penwasione, the must maintain a much larger army than she has yet done. You cannot maintain these distant colonies without an ad.. gamic force, not only to occupy them but to defend them it neenaary. Shine and thither. you at thin moment require with the most urgent neceisity ; and I hope that now, seeing what the emergency ia, the loyalty and patriotism of the country will stir up young men to come forth and rally round the standard of Oren Britain, to recover that country to England which this rebellion has placed In peril—l will not say taken from us, for I cannot but believe that the theca macy of England will be re-establithed end her cloudlike remand, and that country become once more the bright gem In the British crown which it has hitherto been." (Loud cheers.) In reply to the subseitient toast of his own health, pe_,peeed by Mr. Ramsay, of Whitehill, his lordship said : My friend, Mr. Ramsay, has alluded to my semen In tenna beyond any desert, of mine, and particularly to the wrnsita when I commanded the Bombay column In the Punjeub. I moot certainly congratidate enyeelf on the excellent discipline manifested by that column; and whatever credit may be due to me in that matter, 1 can conecien thinly my was by my being meet ably and malouely sup ported by the officers of that army. I do believe that if the NUM discipline bad been in exietence, and the same attention their duels had been paid by the European Ohara of the Bengal army, this unfortunate mutiny would nut have mewled. We cannot retain our dominion in India without a native army. Europeans cannot do the duty which the natives are called on to perforce ; the climate will not admit of it. But how we can reorganise that army so as to trust the native after what has occurred is more than at this moment I eon possibly venture to suggest. Meanwhile a very large European force will necnearily have to be main tained, and many duns hitherto performed by natives must be perfornied by them, though, I am afraid, at a great sacri fice of life but that la unavoidable If we mean to maintain out supremacy in India. ROYAL SURREY GARDENS. Oct Saturday the season at the Royal Surrey Oar dens was brought to a close. M. Jullien, who promised that • pyrotechnic display on a scale of unusual magnificence wool light the seuon out, redeemed his promise by affording to the atietors of the gardens on " the last night positively" a most beautiful treat of fireworks. The srrangements were intruited to Mr. Southby, whole skill in this department of art is unrivalled; and it was generally acknowledged that since the great public display which was given to commemo rate the pence, nothing wu seen to equal the variety end brilliancy of the spectacle on Saturday night. The concert was well eastained by Madame Borchardt and Miaa Poole. The fume lady obtained • rapturous encore for her pretty sang, "I duatc't that I dwelt in Marble H•SI," but on return into the platform she merely bowed her acknowledgment to the audience. Miss Poole, who is • great favourite with her audience, sang the old English belied of "Wapping Old Stairs." At the dose of the concert a gentleman in the gallery made • vain attempt to address the audience. All that could be distinctly gathered amidst the uproar which his attempt at speaking produced was, that there were two dates, one for the opening and one for the close of the gardens, and that a bankruptcy intervened between the two. It was evident, however, that hie audience were not share holders, for they entirely ignored the remarks addressed to them, and rutted into the wardens to see the fireworks, which, as we have observed, were of the most brilliant description.

The following has been received from Stuttgard, dated the 2nd of Sept.: _ . . " For the last fortnight a considerable number of artists and workmen have been occupied in repair ing and decorating the apartments of the royal residence here. These sumptuous preparations, which could surprise no one who is acquainted with the habits and tastes of the King, might well asto nish strangers to his character. But it soon got abroad that his Majesty was to be the hat of seve ral foreign sovereigns, who were to remain in Stutt gard for about a week in the month of September. Iris now known that amongst those sovereignswill be the Emperors Alexander and Napoleon. The King of Wurtemberg is expected here every day from Biar ritz, but great preparations are meantime going on at the king's summer palace and at the palace of the prince royal. All the soldiers who were absent on leave have been recalled. There are now from 15,000 to 20,000 troops in the environs of the capi tal. The troops are divided into two corps ; the first commanded by Prince Frederick, and the second by Lieut.-Gen. Count William of Wurtemberg. After some imposing military manoeuvres, a sham battle will take place between the two corps in the plain between Heilorn Hall and Kanstatt. On the 21st of September there will be a parade of the united corps near the capital in honour of the two emperors. " It may be interesting to know at the present time what are the ties of relationship between the royal houses of France, Russia, and Wurtemberg. "The King of Wurtemberg is the widower of a first marriage with Catherine I'aulowns,daughter of Paul 1., and aunt of the Emperor Alexander; and the Prince Royal of Wurtemberg is married to the Grand Duchess Olga, daughter of Nicholas 1., and sister of the Emperor Alexander. The Princess Frederica Charlotte-Mary, the King's niece, was also married to the Grand Duke Michael of Russia, the Emperor's uncle, who died in 1846. On the other side, Count William of Wurtemberg, the cousin german of the King, married Theodoline-Louise- Eugenie Napoleon, the daughter of Eugene Tieauhar nsis, and cousin-german of the Emperor Napoleon 111. She died last April. The Princess Frederica-Cathe rine-Sophia-Dorothea, the daughter of Frederic, the late King of Wurtemberg, and sister of the present king, waa married to Prince Jerome. Shedied in 1836. Prince Napoleon and the Princess Ma thilde aro the offspring of this marriage. Finally, the late Duke of Leuchtenberg, the son of Prince Eugene Beauharnais, and cousin-german of the Emperor of the French, married the Grand Dachas Mary, the Emperor Alexander's sister." RUSSIA. ST. PETERSBURG, SErr. 4. The Emperor left yesterday for Germany ; his Majesty was attended by Prince Gortchakoff. DISPUTE BETWEEN FRANCE AND DENMARK. BERLIN, Bur. 6. The Zeit of Berlin mentions that a dispute has arisen between France and Denmark, which has produced an ultimatum on the part of France. The dispute originated in a difference of opinion u to the execution of the treaty for the redemp tion of the Sound Dues. The French government wished to pay its quota in Paris, whilst the Daniell government required the payment. to be made at Copenhagen. A dispute has arisen between the federal autho rity and the Canton of Vaud, on the question of the railway from Lausanne to Berne, by way of Oron and Fribourg. The Council of State of Vaud directed the Prefect of Lavaux to stop tho works, on the ground that it had not given its sanction to that portion of the line which traverses the Canton. As soon as the federal council heard of this resolu tion they unanimously annulled it, and as the authorities of Lausanne were preparing to send a bat talion to enforce their orders, a telegraph despatch, containing the substance of the federal resolution, was sent off, so as to throw on the Council of State of the Canton of Vaud the responsibility of any fur ther proceedings. M. Fornerod, the President of the Confederation, was absent when his colleagues came to the resolution of enforcing the federal laws ; and, as he is a Vaudois, it is hoped that he will have sufficient influence with his fellow-coun try men to prevent them from pushing the matter to extremities. HOLSTEIN. Tho report agreed to by the committee of the Diet of Holstein, charged to examine the special constitution proposed for the duchy, states that the present position of the duchy is most critical, that the projected constitution is insufficient, and that it is only by radical reforms in the common constitu tion that the grievances of the duchyean be removed. The committee, moreover, deplores the treatment to which the duchy has been subjected, u regards na tionality, 'worship, and public instruction. BELGIUM. The King of the Belgians arrived at Geneva on the 31st ult. Ilia Majesty avoided passing through Berne, the federal city, in order not to have to hold any official reception. It was believed that the king would only make a short stay at Geneva, and then proceed to Milan. A public subscription was recently opened at Ghent to present General Capiaumoot with a sword of honour for his conduct as commander of the troops in that city on the 30th and 31st May last, when disturbances took place in so many parts of Belgium. The general has just addressed a letter to the committee charged to superintend the raising of the subscription, to say that as the government has, in its late publication in the Moniteur, formally approved of his conduct, he is sufficiently recom pensed by that declaration, and accordingly begs that the sums already received may be employed in some charitable purpose. _ _ _ The Princes; IClathilde arrived at Ostend on Thursday in a special train from France; her im perial highness occupied one of the saloon impinges of the Northern of France Railway. The princess was accompanied by M. Barrot, French minister at Berlin, and by three ladies of honour. The Duke and Duchess de Brabant went to the railway station to receive her imperial highness, and the august personages proceeded in court carriages to the Hotel Fontaine, at which apartments had been taken for the princess. In the evening the princess, leaning on the arm of the Duke de Brabant, took a promo- nade on tbc estamule. On the following day the duke was to give a grand dinner in honour of her imperial highness. EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (►ION OTR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, SONDAT EVENING, The news of Reschid Pacha's retirement, which I announced to you yesterday, is confirmed by the Paris journals of to-day. The Pays, an official journal, which derives its inspiration from Count Walewski, can scarcely conceal its joy, although the government journals have received instructions to be particularly cautious, just now that the meeting at Stuttgudt is decided on, not to say anything to wound the s m . ceptibility of England. The Pays than expresses itself on the subject: The last information from Constantinople snomintes tee retirement of Reeebtd Pacha, who has been relieved of hie functions aa Presided of the Tanzinest by IImo.SUIII/13, shall not at present try to drew the consequences to which this event may give rise, as we ace ignorant of the dam. stances which brought it about. But during his last doh. try, Reschid Paths thought it his duty to pursue a Id o f conduct which was by no means in accordance with the prin. ciplas of the treaty of Perin ; and as these principles hue evidently triumphed in the last incident of the IleldretC h t. Whims question, the political rele of Reschid has natomp l come to an end. I The Constieutionnel of this day has an article in which it denies that the misfortunes of England is India have produced satisfaction in France. But in regard to this subject the truth is, that while the French people do not rejoice at the massacre of old men, women, and children, in India, they are no t displeased to fine that England is embarrassed ia that quarter, and would not be sorry to see the Hindoos the victors in the contest. The Coss/die tionnel also says that the St. Helena medal ought not to be looked upon as an insult to England. " The selection of the name of an English posseetion is," it says, " easily explained. St. Helena belongs to the past, and the medal of the 12th of August ha been conferred on men of the past. It should not be forgotten in London that England has herself torn up the history of Longwood, when she went with France to combat her former allies in the Fast. A government does not insult a nation which has give to its soldiers the Crimean medal, and in wearing ores their breasts the portrait of Queen Victoria, the wearers of the St. Helena medals prove in a very stalls' manner the forgetfulness of an unfortunate put? However, the name given to this medal has Nand, perhaps, more surprise in France than even is England, and it should not be forgotten that it was selected by the Emperor himself, without consult. ing any of his ministers. The Emperor is to hold a grand review to-day at the camp of Chalons. He has ordered the often. dance of one of the moat experienced photographers of Paris, for the purpose of taking exact intrust. tations of the evolutions of the troops. The King of Wurtemberg, who arrived in Psi yesterday from Biarritz, has left to-day for Stuttgart Prince Napoleon left yesterday evening on 'journey to the Pyrenees. The Moniteur of this day states that the gown'. menta of Fiance and Russia have determined that the Treaty of Commerce and Navigation recently concluded between them, shall take effvet from da 14th of the present month. The Council-General of the Nord has unanimously voted the following revolution Protection la, and will te for t• long time, the moo go. perieue want of French agriculture and manufactured. INDIA.

This morning was issued, in the form of I remit to parliament, " a copy of the legal opinion taken by tY East India Company, and dated the sth of August, 1851, to the manufacture and sale of opium ; together with a Off of the case on which that opinion was founded."
