If the doctrine of the Meal!~ is true, every French man who has been prosecuted since Deesmber, 1862, for conspiring to furore the elder line of the Roux- DONS has been desalt with contrary to law. The declaration that the King of PIOIIIIA, if he invades Switzerland and imposes a despotic governmeat upon her, as a p oaishenent foe presuming to subject the Neufchatel ringleaders toe judicial trial, will only be exercising a legal right, goes to establish the lade. feasible divine right of Kings. It recognises the right of the adherents of Hum V. to conspire and ries in arms against the existing Government of Plum with impunity. The self contradiction, the egregious folly, of the Neufchatel article in the Ilonteur is palpable. Bat it is not the Ite/ mischievous on that mormat. It is an overture made by the Emperor of the Fume to the " lesoitimate " despots of Europe. It la an offer, if they will consent to overlook the irregular, the revolutionary character of hie title to the throne of Franco, to enter into a league, offensive and &fen. sive, with them spinet all the Liberals and all the constitutional Governments of Europe. Ms Neufchatel article in the Al/reknit, if it has any meaning, is an invitation to Prussia, Austria, and Ruda, to concur in the recognition of a doctrine which would place the party of progress throughout Europe is a more diesdesutageoes position than the Coossrvative parry, and would deny to all popular sod oonstiturional Governments the rights which despotic Governments claim foe themselves. Accord ing to the article in the Moodeur it is a venial offence (if it be an offence at all) for a minority to conspire and rise in arms against an established popular Go vernment in behalf of the claim of a hereditary pre leader, though it is an unpardonable Grime to have recourse to such means for the prouietioo of popular privileges. According to the article in the Moiritewr it is a violation of the law of nations for any popalsr , and constitutional Government to punish, or even bring to trial, citizens or subjects who have conspired or vino in arms with a view to subvert it and re.estab• lisp an arbitrary Sovereign. Such a doctrine, wen it recognised as the interns. decal law of Europe, would be tantamount to a proclamation of outlawry against every adherent of the party of progress and free institutions. It would &ay to the snorters of human liberty the right of protecting themselves from the machinations and brute force of the bigoted adherents of every obsolete abuse. Now it so happens that there le--and has been seer anon the era of the Reformation—a Liberal party is Europe. Expert ness has shown that wh in any wintry the members of this parry have been denied the potato ties of the law, they have bees driven to seek protection by oontraysotios of the law j and that the instinctive sense of beams nature has sympathised with them is so doing. The practical effect of the doetriee propounded by the ifewitstrr, if it could be established as the international law of Europe, would be to justify in the eyes of men every excess of which partisans of the popular cause could be guilty. It would be the signal for an internecine war betimes the friends of progress sad freedom, and the abettors of despotism. Are the absolute Sovereigns of Europe prepared to enter upon such a contest P Do they wish to renew the bloody some of the Ant French Revolution ? Apia, are the constitutional Governments of Europe prepared to submit to be declared an in ferior easte—a Pariah caste among Governments? The legality of the Governments of Eegland, Switzerland, Piedmont, Belgium, Hollaed, and Den mark rests upon the assumption that the priaciplee of the Liberal party are mooed. If the whole Liberal party of Europe are to be declared outlaws, these Governments must, se a corollary, be declared usurpations. The threat held oat against the Government of Swi , serland, to the Kaseleser, bl indirectly aimed at every constitutieuml Gemr sent in Europe. The Neufchatel article In the Allettileur is a warnieg to all these Governments to prepare for eventual dangers by en tenting closer and more cordial intimacies and alli ances. What would have best the fate of the United Provinces in the time of PHILIP IL if they had not been rapported by the English Government? Where would have been our own national libation Is. 1688, but for see intimate alliance with the Government et the United Province? History gashes by example the policy which the eoeetitutional Governments et Europe ought to adopt in the present emergency. It is the interest and duty GI Piedmont to ally itself closely with the other coastitatissal Governments of the Continent; and it is the interest end duty of England—as the most powerful constitutional State of the Old World—to promote and join the league. It is only by such means that the balance of power b3tween the free and the dynastic States can be aphevd, and the peace of Europe preserved. Nay mom, it is the duty and intermit cf the allied constitutional Governmente—in so far as they can do so withost infringiog aim the independence and sovereignty of other States—to encourage and protect the Liberal party throughout Europe. WILLIAM of ORANGE could cover have succeeded in establishing the liberties of his country bet for the intimate relatives he maintained with the Huguenots of Franco and the Lutherans of Germaiky. ELIZABETH of England must have fallen beneath the inveterate machinations of her enemies but for the assistance she derived from the continental Protestants. The partisans of secular and priestly despotism through out Europe are leaped sad banded spinet freedom, and there is no safety for the friends of program and enlightenment but in an equally intimate and cordial int Court.

The Independence Beige of yesterday contains the following: A correspondent at Berne writs: to us as fol lows :—" I am assured that, in addition to the two liberations on bail which have already taken place, under the authority of the Chamber of Accu sation, there will in a few days be four or five provi sional releases. The President of the Grand Council of Thurgovia (the canton in which the Emperor of the French was made a citizen in 1884), M.Kappeler, who is known for the extreme moderation of his opinions, has pronounced at the open ing of the Council a speech which has made a sensation. Alluding to the position in which the Swiss are placed, and the danger with which' the attempt at Neufchatel has menaced their common country, M. Kappeler said The hour of trial will perhaps soon arrive. We me, gentlemen, the national honour and independence in the hands of an authority which deserves our full and entire con fidence. We as count upon it, as it can count upon as. While fearing nothing, let us not neglect to take measures of precaution. Let us not provoke, let us not clamour, but, at the moment of extremity, let the country find all her sone, without distinction of politics' parties, resolved to make the greatest sacrifices for her weal.'" The M. Petersburg Gazette of Comme►ce publishes the account of the Bt. Petersburg Savings' Bank for the year 1866. It appears from this that the amount of the deposits was, in 1865, 834,307 roubles 791 copecks; daring the same period 690,830 roubles 84 copecks were reimbursed in the form of ospital, and 36,959 roublea 77 copecks for interest. On the let of January, the meets of the Beak presented a total of 1,809,067 roubles 801 copeck,. Of this amount the share of the artisans wee 107,264 roubles ; that of the peasants and serfs, 181,875 roubles; and that of the soldiers of inferior rank, 99,368 roubles 60 copeck.. The majority of the deposits varied from 10 to 26 silver roubles. A letter from St. Petersburg mentions the death of General Cheremetieff, Minister of the Domains, from a second attack of apoplexy, as also that of Count Btrogonoll a veteran Russian diplomatist, who died at a very advanced age. The same letter states the health of the Marquis de Courtavel, who, it may be remembered, was seized with a severe ill ness in consequence of exposure to the cold, has much improved. According to a Bt. Petersburg letter of the 9th, in the New Pruseiss Owl& of Berlin, the hopes that bad been entertained of • certain degree of liberty being allowed to the press in Russia had been dissp. pointed, the journals having been spin subjected to tee triotions,and even the Nord of Brussels, the Rus sian organ, has frequently articles blotted out. PRUSSIA. A letter from Coblent: of the 13th, in the Cork ruh Gault*, says :—" Although there have been yet no warlike preparations, properly so celled, on the part of Prussia against Switzerland, there are symp toms which show that it is intended to have recourse to military measures. In the arsenals of the Rhine supplies of ammunition are being actively prepared." HOLLAND. The political position of Holland continues to be very unsettled. The equal division of votes which had taken place on two Weser occasions in the Second Chamber of the Btates•Oeneral on the budgets of the Interior and of War was renewed on Saturday, when 32 members declared in favour of the adoption of the fond for secret services, and 32 against it. On Monday a second division took place, when the budget was adopted by 36 votes to 33. It appears difficult to govern under such circumstances. EXPRESS FROM PARIS. Crawl ova °wig KARIS, Tarasner EVEN ING . It is very long sinota have heard any sort or con dition of men in Francs speak their minds so plainly as almost everybody—not beings fanotionary, a legi timist, or a gambler at the Bonne—now does on the imbject of yesterday's article in the Monsieur. Many of the Emperor's oldest adhereets are lost in astonishment at what they consider not only an act of inexplicable ingratitude, but one of suicidal policy. That LoniaNapoleon—w ho,when the Odeon ist govern- mint of France demanded his extradition (a demand which was eupported by many of the continental Powers in the interest of what was then called order) found an inviolable asylum in the Swiss Re. public, which, faithful to its traditions, resolved to brave Europe in arms rather than deliver him up— should now take pert with Proasia against Switzer land in a quarrel wherein all the substantial right is on the side of the republican government, and the abettor of the royalist rebels has nothing but a legal figment—and a figment, moreover, not material to the immediate question—to rely upon, shocks the undentanding, and shatters the faith of many hitherto staunch Napoleonists. The Neufchatel people enjoy their independence as a canton of the I Swim Confederation by as long and as good a title u the French Emperor holds his power. But there is this difference in favour of Switzerland, that whereas the legitimist pretender to the throne of France is the descendant of a long line of kings whose sovereignty wee absolute, the legitimist pre tender to the suzerainty of Neufchatel, whose cause Napoleon 111. now espouses, had never even in his I parchments a title which was not open to serious question, and whose de facto role in the principality was of the most shadowy and unimportant descrip tion. He is not only dieseized by the will of the people, which is professedly the only test of sovereignty according to present French institu tions, but, notwithstanding formal diplomatic pro tests and reserves, he has acquiesced during many years in the act which ousted him, to the extent, at least, of rendering himself a wrongdoer when he pretends to justify the rebellion attempted in his name against the government which has been in ' peaceable possession for nine years, while he has stood by without interfering. In the Neufchatel bungs there was every ingredient which, by the common consent of mankind, is declared criminal. The go- vernment was regular, long established, the popula tion was orderly and peaceable, the vast majority of the people desired no change, and there was no reasonable prospect of success. Under these circum stances the King of Prussia's' pretensions, backed now by Louis Napoleon, that the rebels are to be with drawn from justice is preposterous. His rights, such as they were,should have been enforced by arms long ago if they were important enough and well founded enough to justify such a remedy; but now that he comes forward to support the theory that a govern. latent which be had no sufficient reason to attempt to subvert ever since 1848, is bound to tolerate rebellion in his favour, lhe puts himself completely out of any court where reason presides. The Bourse people are, I belie,,, palely mistaken in supposing that Switzerland will yield, and I have the crongest reason to know that she has the most sincere moral support of England. The legitimist journals applaud the note in the Monifeur, partly because it chimes in with their poll. tical notions (because it echoes the sentim en t s w hi c h l r their party would act upon if in power), bat more beamse they see in it a further chance of breaking up the English alliance—a consummation which they ardently desiderate. The Assemble* Nationale thus expresses itself: The language of the note and the policy which it Mtn ye, redound to the great honour of the government of the Emperor. It may have been feared that, on this question, the head of the Mate would have been influenced by the manageable' of his former 'mutual relations with the Federal government. The declarations of the Monaeu r Wean away every doubt on this score. The Emperor has ' only taken into consideration bis duties towards France . . . _ and towards Europe—at which we rejoice. It is high One to pat an end to this demagogical policy, of which the prin. etpal seat is Berne, and which, after hariog commenced in the heart of the Confederation itself with the oppression of the smaller cantons, hse extended everywhere its disastrous propaganda. Oa this point we will odd not►ing to what is apparent in the very clear, fii.n, and energetic declaration of the Monirsser. The following pamagee are from the Gautee de France: It is not necessary to dwell an the importance of ea, note, or on the serious consequences which may teen, to the minks of the tranquillity of Europe, in the event of Switzerland persisting in her " obstinacy." We rejoice at the publiaation of this note in the official journal, since it permits as to appreciate the real state of a question which amines daily an importance that was far from having been anticipated. Now that we know the opinion of the French cabinet relative to the Neufchatel question, we may state that this opinion is not in harmony with that of England; for, although the latter power has not declared knit openly on the question, the most authentic accounts permit us to say that, whereas France has formally declared herself for Prussia, England, in spits of the Conferences held in Lou don in 1862, appears resolved on supporting the pretension of Switzerland. Oa what question, in fact, does our ally agree with France 1 The Bourse opened heavily today, and even the news that Consols had risen 3 per cent. produced no effect upon the market, but when the second tele. graphic despatch announced • further rise of it was thought that the Bank of England mot have lowered its discount, and an improvement took piece.

Most of the lines fell from bfr. to 10fr. during the first halt hour, but some of the principal lines were in considerable demand afterwards.

The complicated state of political affairs exercises marvellou.sly little influence at present upon the Boone, which is occupied principally by struggles going on between great financial bodies. ITALY. PIEDMONT. (ram °us OWN GENOA: Du. 14. The government has sold the arsenal of Genoa to a company of native and English capitalists, the pries spoken of being about 16 millions of francs. Some three years ago Count Cavour desired to get some information about the best means of enlarging the dock accommodation at this port, so as to provide for the daily increasing wants of Genoese commerce. The plan of Genii, the plan of Mans, and amid other plans, were proposed and considered, after which Count Cavour sent to London for that eminent engineer, Mr. Rendel, and consulted him on the rub jeer. r. Rends! came here, examined the locality, and went beck to London to prepare his report. After tea months' further study of tree matter hie report was sent to Count Cavour, and as no immediate action was taken upon it, was sup posed to be buried amongst the other ministerial papers. A committee of twelve members of the Chamber of Deputies was subsequently appointed to investigate the different projects ; but when Count Cavour lately came here on his way to pay his respects to the Empress Dowsger of Russia, he inti mated to Count Ottavio della Marmon, the chairman of the committee, that he had made up his mind about it, and that it would be of no use for the com mittee to make a report upon their decision, since the ministers at Turin had determined to adopt the plan of Mr. Rendel. We can perceive, from the arrangements already made, that Mr. Renders plan consists of removing the naval establishment to Spezzia, converting the . . ancient arsenal of the Doges at Genoa into docki, and selling the place to a company for that purpose. Indeed, the remainder of the sailing ships of the wavy, the frigates San Michele, 1/e Genera, and Eurydice, the corvettes San Giovanni and Aquila, have received orders to go and anchor at Spezzia ; the screw steamer Vittorio Emmanuele is also gone, and the Carlo Alberto alone will stay here, to wait for the King and convey him to Nice, after the opening of the Chambers on the 15th of January. The Chevalier Soncompagoi, president of the Pied mantes, Chamber of Deputies, has been named Minister Plenipotentiary at Florence. RUSSIAN PREPARATIONS IN ASIA. A letter of the Bth instant from St. Petersburg says The complications that have sprung op in Persia are engaging general attention. The events which are being prepared in that quarter are of a stature to provoke the anxiety of Reals, the more ao as her owe interests are deeply at stake there. It is very well known here that it was the occurrences at Nara which especially induced the Court of Teheran to make advances to the cabinet of Si. Petersburg. The appointment of General Dohantel, at that time in the service of Russia, to be the bead of the st.ft in the Persian army, instead of the Austrian Celoael Keracsay, was a manifest proof of the influence acquired by our court, and if the Shah hie been in hate commence the war he has probably taken this initiative, because he has been made to comprehend that within a few years, when the projected railways shall hue been constructed, the English might easily occupy every one of the Persian ports. In any ease the European offices in the envie* of the Persian army will try and ~veto that army the strength requisite lot resisting, with Ruuta's assistance, the British troop,. Orders were sent from St. Petereborg in November list to collect en army corps of at least 40,000 men upon the Persian frontier. Lieutenant General Koelowkl, who com manded a division of the Caucasian army, has been placed at the bead of this cow, which will proceed as Si army of cbserration to the neighbourhood of Baku, on tha WOUND coastal the Cagliari Sea. The artillery of this corps is commanded by 0 I Neje', formerly attasbed to the flud army corps (that or General Loden). The Adjutant ' General nuke is appointed chief of •he general lied. Prince Argoutinsky, commander in chief on the Quintal emits, is charged with the duty for warding whatever mu nitions sod provisions are consigned to his care. What we have just stated is authentic, whatever may have been alleged to the contrary. It is on account of these measures that the Porte hu formed near Elieroam a corps of observation, nearly 35,000 strong, under the com mand of Ismail Pasha, to pritect the basin of the Euptraten and watch the Persian frontier. These movements In Asia are the c.nes why the troops in Poland have not yet been augmented to their previous strength. Bat it is certain that Russia will before lag bass moo, than 150,000 men in Volhynia and Beseerabia.
