DEC. 2. Sin Haxav SMITH reminded the Cape Boers, in a manifesto which he publislml in March that he was an old acquaintance, and addressed them at first in that character : bat suddenly checking himself, like Apollo in the burletta of " Midas," be put on all his dlory—" I now turn from Colonel SMITH to the governor of the colony." We wish we had the colonel back again, for he was a much more rational and useful member of society than the governor pro mises to be. Bir NRIIRT appears to have picked np his notions of what appertains to the gubernatorial character in the NAPIER school, and a worse school it is not easy to imagine. If communities could be governed and made happy by rulers as they appear on the boards of our minor theatres —by an alternate perso nation of the boon companion and the despot—by melo-dramatic display in short—the NAPIERB and their imitators would soon diffuse the blessings of peace, order, and affluence through all our dependen cies. But, unluckily, something more is required to cement the social edifice than bombastic proclamations, and the interchange of vows and protestations. Sir Minix SMITH is not, however, a mere servile copyist. He wears the Narlea garb " with a differ teas." It was the taste of the conqueror of Winds to play alternately the buffoon and the hero. It is the pleasure of the conqueror of Kaffirland to play alter nately the preacher and the captain et dritroms. Since the days of the Ironsides and the storming at Drogheda no one has appeared on the public stage who wielded the bible in one hand and the broadsword in the other with each dramatic effect es the hero of Aliwal. " Now, my friends, ray half- I lost friends and wavering christiassf was his preamble on the 29th of Mara; Ms exor dium being, " This past us. 0 Lord, our 401 4l 0 41 137 16 Ili I r fP 01 , 11 MIS 'N IS 11.11 I 1 77 1 4 1 11 17 41 41 ie m u I re u 131 to Ise I 33* I 40 gs ei 1 414 s M M . , . . .

Bladtride , and your faithful, your purrs friend, who has exerted himself for your exclusive benefit, turned into the Avenger of Evil." In plain Eng lish, "if you won't accept , me for an angel. will play the devil with you. ' And this English MA swum has been as good as his word. Norther the Orange River Bir HENRY found an ex tensive district bounded by that stream, the Vaal deer and the Brackenberg range. "Over the greater I part of this tract of country," he says in a despatch to Earl GREY, " oot a single native is to be seen, nor for many years, if ever, has it been inhabited by one." This district he found occupied, according to km most recent estimate, by about 1, 400 males bearing arms, say a total population of 7,000. They possessed p retty numerous herds but nothing else. He proclaimed the country British territory. lie vested unlimited autbo :zr tl e inhabitants in a British resident and his lie decreed that " every trader or other in dividual trafficking or engaged in commerce within the territories aforesaid s hall pay an annual license of SO/." And by means of these licenses, of gait rents, fines, &c., he calculated upon receiving from 1,400 families an annual revenue of 5,0001. to 10,0001. Of this sum 4,5541. was to be spent upon the officials he appointed, and the rest was to be appro priated " for the exclusive benefit of those who con tribute" indeed, but according to the judgment and pleasure of the government. Was it to be expected that men who had been living in tolerable comfort and security under their own rude make-shift substi tute for a government, would bo pleased at being sub jected to such a costly and vexatious despotism ? PIUKTOKIDO, am; some 800 of his rude despera does fromthe interior,having been induced by the dissa tisfaction of the settlers, to come am-ng them and tempt some, and intimidate others, to renounce their allegiance to the British governor, Sir HENRY, who is as good a soldier as be is a bad politician, pounced spen them at owe and crushed the insurrection in the bud. After it was completely subdued, when not au enemy remained in the field, and all were hastening to make their submission, not satisfied with the numbers who had fallen in battle, he caused a farmer taken with arms in his hands to be shot by order of a court-martial. And the Cape Town paper, whic'i panegyriies all his actions, embraces the occa sion to declare that "a rebel has not even a right to a court-inertial," that "he has not even a right to quarter." Having done so, he erects a fortification strong enough to stand a regular siege ; he leaves there a strong detachment of cavalry and infantry, with field-pieces; he proclaims, " I hereby prohibit all public meetings, and I hold any one guilty of felony who shall convene one;" and he loaves his secretary to levy, by the aid of the soldiery, the exorbitant fees for trading licenses and the quit rents he formerly imposed, and to " sell confiscated property and levy fines." All this he does while professing to believe that the inhabitants of the district are loyally and peaceably disposed, and that PitIETORIUS' band has been finally broken up and dispersed. Sir HENRY SMITH would seem to have studied politics in those Orange lodges, where the brethren are exhorted in the name of Christian charity to " keep their powd. r dry." A go vernment of his fashion may snit Orientals who are accustomed to confound religion and civil polity, and see both promulgated by the sword. But among people of European race this kind of rule can only break their spirits altogether, or provoke rebellion after rebellion ; se has been la mentably: shown in the history of Ireland. Nor is the disaffection of the 1,400 families between the Viai and Orange rivers to be lightly treated. They are a sturdy race, and are related to the Dutch families remaining within the original limits of the colony. The settlers of Dutch race are considerably more numerous than those of English race, and the greater part of the land, and of the fixed and move able property on the land, is in their hands. Nor do the English and Dutch races stand aloof from each other ; they are connected by intermarriages and community of industrial interests. The harsh treat ment of the emigrant Boers will excite the resentment of all the European settlers in the colony. And a simultaneous movement is at this moment in progress throughout the colony, to obtain the substitution of a constitutional representative government for the present government by orders in council, and by a local administration of crown nominees. This temper of the public mind cannot but be dangerous, if it is met by • determination on the part of the governor to rule the whole colony, as he is attempting to rule the recently-annexed territory, after the fashion of the Caliphs. To say nothing of the injustice, the experiment is likely to prove a costly one to this country. For some dozen years the home government has been trying to rule the Cape by alternately coercing the Boers and knocking the Kaffir. on the head. This system of po licy has—over and above an annual local expenditure of 218,8161. (for a population of 158,000)—cost the mother country upwards of two millions for military operations in the emirs, of twelve years. This outlay sill be increased rather than diminished during the next twelve years if an attempt is made to rule the colony on the principles which, to judge by Sir HENRY 13111TR'E ravings and doings, he deems the only basis of a wise and efficient %liniment Si? CULLING{ EARULEY, in hummus mood, con trasted himself and his competitor, quietly disputing before the electors of Leeds, with the fierce spirit in which General CAVAIONAC and Prince LOUIS BONA PARTE were disputing their claims to French sove reignty. The tory blood of Mr. DENIsoN was in stantly stirred by the comparison, and he declared that " he was not like these publicans: he paid tithe to Mother Church," andjeo on. With all respect to Mr. llgrasores susceptibilities, it is impossible to mark the two struggle., and the candidatures in France and in England, recorded in neighbouring columns of the same journals, without instituting at least some slight comparison, and mark ing, though but for curiosity's sake, the coincidences and the discrepancies. There is one remarkable identit in the profession of the French and English can didates for populas choice in their respective countries, which is, that all four are for peace and military retrenchment. We beg Mr. DENISON'S pardon, be alone of the four is not for military retrenchment. General CAVAIGNAC, Louts NAPOLEON, and Sir Cut LIMO EARDLET all ad mit this great European necessity, but Mr. Demon scouts it. He is more warlike more an army man, than LOUIS NAPOLEON himsel f. A of his candidature, General CAVAIGNAC his war-budget to be brought forward on Tuesday last. He admitted that this war-budget had amounted to 17 millioas sterling for the army, artil lery, for, in fact, the land service, being one-half the ; expenditure of the country independent of the Tote - rest of the debt. This sum kept up an army of soo,ooo men and 100,000 horses. General LAIMO , 7 alantz, as war minister, however, declared that the military budget ought to b e re -0 duced by six or seven millions sterling, and ought It not to exceed between ten and eleven millions. This 8 force and this expense Gen.LAMORICIER6 thought stir . 3 ficient to render France strong enough to resist all the powers and enmities of Europe, and of domestic trouble. Now, this sum of between ten and eleven millions, which will enable France to keep up 330,000 • • men, and which is considered by one of its ablest ge nerals sufficient to guarantee a country, which has o some 600 leagues of open and land frontier, from in vasion, is spent by the English government to keep up an army of 100,000 men, whilst oar home and g foreign territories are completely guarded, from even the remote possibility of invasion, by the ocean and by io our fleet, which are masters of it. s We must admit therefore that Mr. DENISON is so . 2 far entitled to repudiate any resemblance between his o rinciples and those of General CAVAIGNAC, or Louts NAPOLEON. Both are pacific, economical, and anti milit ,ry politicians, compared with him, who will not promise one iota of reduction, even in the face of the immense diminution in their military force, stipu lated by the candidates for French sovereignty, to the applause of the French press, public and electors. What say the Frei ch candidates on the subject of taxation? Three-fourths of the French revenue is named, we know, by direct taxation, from those pos sessed of award property.

This wee the income of Archbishop Arens, who perished on the barricades seeking to staunch the blood of the people with his cries. This priesthood is clamorous, not toe state education under their contro l , but for freedom of education, and for churchmen being allowed to compete with laymen in this duty. The French candidates both promise to gratify the clergy. Mr. DENISON'a ideas are very different; he would not merely give freedom, but monopoly, of education to his own clergy. He would endure them, and none other. Here again Mr. DENINON hes every claim to repudiate any similarity to the liberalism of French political candidates. (3en. CAVAIONAC, LOI'IS NAPOLEON, and Sir CUL LING EARDLEY all march with their age at least, and stand in its front rank, professing forward ideas. Mr. Dertisies is one of those who bring up the tail, whose principles indeed are not filed or deter minate enough to resist all progre•s, and who are cunning and conformant and cowardly enough to embrace and accept reforms, and improvements, which, though they do not like, they cannot prevent. But they are as backward as the) duvet be ; they act drag to the very utmost of their ability, and are like the horses which, in some places, are harnessed behind Mitts as they go down hill, with their hoofs and their breeching, strait ed, though in vain, against all onward progress.

Thus ' for example, there is only one professor of divinity ; the professor of Greek has all classical literature assigned to him ; the reader in history is barthened with polite litera ture ;_political economy is entirely ignored ; and the Rev. TEMPLE CHEVALIER is profeseor of mathematics and of astronomy, reader in Hebrew, registrar of the university, and is incumbent be sides of Witton Gilbert. In resting here we have surely stated enough to warrant an opinion unfavourable to the original foundation, as well as to the existing management of Durham University. f o ll ow i ng " The turaseably, approving of w e d menu* el precaution taken by the government for ng Qu ip ,. mia l liberty of the Pope, and reserving its ultimate Me oi till all the facts are fully kaolin, puma to the order of gia day." U pon this the Amiably divid e d Votes 543 Majority 272 For 480 Against GERMANY. IN the course of oar exposure of the scandalous waste of the mineral property of the church com mitted by the Durham clergy, we have more than once had occasion to refer to the University of Dur ham. Our refereoct s have not been altogether com plimentary to the institution. And as, in spite of remonstrances, we cannot consent to the withdrawal of the adverse opinions already expressed, some further reasons shall be assigned for them. No doubt the foundation of a University of Dur ham has been advantageous to general education and to the church in that diocese. AY little doubt that the church therein had ample superfluous wealth wherewith to found the institution. But the Uni- 1 versity, as founded, is an establishment for the imme diate benefit of the wealthy. The advantages to be I derived from it by the poor are mediat've and in direct; they can flow only from the improve- 1 ment thereby accomplished in the dames imme diately and directly benefited, and can be received only in a general and very diluted form. Yet it stands contessed and recorded by the organs of the clergy, that the spiritual condition of the mining po pulation of the diocese of Durham is most deplorable, that the state of the general population is rot at all satisfactory, and that in no diocese is dissent more prevalent in the large towns. Not indeed (as a cor respondent the other day supposed) that dissent is to be regarded as an evil ; far from it—under such cir cumeances it is a positive blessing ; but its prevalence in Durham speaks the degree of usefulness and activity in Churchmen. Such being the state of a peat part of the diocese of Durham, it follows irresistibly that, as the church, which bishop. in their Cnarges tell us, is the inheritance of the par, the first thoughts of Dr. VAN MILDCRT, and of the other founders of Durham University ought in 1831. to have been how to apply the ecclesiastical wealth, they had in such abund ance to spare, to the removal of this chief want of the diocese. That sup, lied, they might then have reasonably and properly applied their still super abundant means to measures calculated to confer on the wealthy those benefits they had already bestowed on the poor. And in reversing this the natural order of improvement, they have certainly laid the univer sity they established open to the charge of having, by its foundation ia'.e. *peed the soir:tual itnie ' , meet) , of the diocese of Durham generally, for which no ade quate provision has yet been made. Net can it be admitted that the foundation and en dowment of the university were a judicious applica tion of an amount of superfluous wealth, likely to do a great deal of good as it has been laid out, but am fitted from its amount to do !much if applied to the eztetsice of the parochial system. For it is notorious that in the diocese of Durham the church has means which if properly applied are far more than sufficient to carry out to its fullest practical extent the paro chial system and to have founded the university also. So far the argument is in favour of the postpone ment of the university until the greater claims on the church in Durham have been satisfied. But the uni versity having been established, the question arises, does its foundation repose on sound principles ? We think not. For, in the first place, it is an exclusive university. While it admits dis-enters to its studies, it denies them degrees or academical honours. Now, in addi tion to all the conclusive reasoning against this per nicious and persecuting principle as practised at Cam bridge, there is a practical argument against its adoption at Durham quite irresistible. Dissent is pre valent in that diocese ; and yet, though the large amount of dissent therein is greatly the conse quence of the past neglect of the church, the first thing that the church does when it has become peni tent for its own past defaults, is thus to punish die @enters! This we say is, under such circumstance., perfectly intolerable. The system adopted at Durham is the collegiate one. Already the University contains one College for the wealthier, and one Hall for the poorer students. This is, in the second place, objectionable. For the cost of founding an university on this system involves an amount of expenditure which might be tar more profitably laid out, as the King's and University Col leges in London testify; and the division of the de partmental colleges into receptacles for comparative wealth and poverty, is an odious distinc. ion for which neither Oxford nor Cambridge can be quoted as af fording precedents, and against which education itself is levelled. What may be the means assigned by the church to the University of Durham has not been steed. At its foundation 3,0001. a year was understood to be as signed to it out of dean and chapter property. By two later orders iu council certain t states belonging to extinguished canonries were conveyed to its use, as also a sum of money. The old Castle of Durham has been appropriated to its reception. And two succes sive prelates and other pious persons have founded ex hibitions. But what the yearly revenues so derived amount to, no where appears. That they are, how ever. extravagantly and injudiciote-ly laid out is very apparent. The head of the university is the Warden. Its founder proposed to attach to this office a stall in the cathedral church of Durham ; and in pursuance of that intention he made one of the prebendaries the first Warden. Subsequent legislation has, however, decided (and very judiciously) that the office shall in future be permanently attached to the Deanery of Durham. The precut Warden, as stated, has a stall certainly worth 1,500/. a year, in return for which he has little, we might almost say, nothing, to do; and although hereafter the wardenship and the deanery will only be worth conjointly 1,0001. a year, the Venerable CHARLES THORP, the first Warden, has procured for himself out of the university funds (in substantial breach of his patron's, Dr. VAN 111tLDERT's intentions), 5001. a year as Warden. This we bold to be a piece of wanton and ungracious extravagance. Whatever income the university has, it is, the public are told, insufficient to carry out the intention of its founders and the wishes of its senate. Yet no less than 3,0001. a year of that income is thrown away on twenty-four fellowships—thrown away, not because fellowships are in their proper places useless, but because the educational benefit of Durham Uni versity to the community might be greatly increased, by the economical application of this large sum to I strictly educational purposes, iniread of using it as a means of rivalling older and richer universit ies. And in like manner another 6001. a year is expended on scholarships. The consequence of this very injudicious expendi ture is, that there is a want of proper professor in the university ; that those who are professors are obliged to teach various and inconsistent branches of FRANCE. NATIONAL ASSEMBLY. ammo or xov. 30. At 2 o'clock M. Marren, President, took the chair. M. JOLT ascended the tribune, and said that be had re ceived, in the morning, a letter from Bayonne, announcing that, on reaching Santander, the 69 Spanish soldiers who had mutinied on board the Montenesa, had been tried by court-martial; that 15 had been sentenced to death, 18 to the galleys, and the others to transportation to Havannah. As the penalty, however, could not be carried into effect without the sanction of the captain-general of the presence, H. Joly entreated the cabinet, in the name of humanity, to interfere on behalf of those unhappy victims of despotism. None of the ministers being present, M. Joly repeated the above statement when they entered the hall. 090. CAvaloteAC replied that he had every 119100 to be lieve that the delay in the execution of the sentence was owing to the official interference of the minister of the repuh lie at Madrid, and that in all cases the government would lees no tame in forwarding instructions to that effect to M. de LIIS9IO. The order of the day being interpellations on the affairs of Italy M. , LEDRU ROLLIte rose and said that the lest official ac counts from Rome annouricad that the city was calm. That result might be anticipated from the tenor of the despatches of the ambassador. The first shots were fired by the Swiss seen/Übe people. M. d'Harcourt himself admitted that I the event was not a mere emote. It was, in fact, something more grave and significant. The whole army had sided with the people and declared that they wished for a constitution, and an independent assembly to frame it. It was under those circumstances when no violence was nor could be intended agains t the Pope's person, that the ex pedition was resolved upon. Thu was a Know resolution. He believed that intervention perilous for the Pope himself, when he considered that the last revolution in Rome bad been effected to the cries of " Down with the foreigners! " " Down with the Swiss!" M. Rossi bad been murdered because he was regarded as a foreigner. Had the French government consulted the Pope, had the apostolic nuncio in Paris been committed, the intervention would not have taken place. The m yeement at Rome was not directed against re ligion, not a word WJI uttered against dogmas; tt was en tirely political. M. Ledru Rollin then reminded the cabinet of the programme of the revolution of February, which pledged the republic to assist all nations who wished to assert their independence, and asked if the cabinet had re sponded to the appeal of Milan and Lombardy, when tey claimed the support of France. No, it had not I even as yet prevailed on Austria to appoint a place I to carry on the negotiation. Had it found a word to protest against the murder of Robert Blum? No. But I when a prince engiged in a struggle with his subjects, the French government hastened to the assistance of the former against tee people. la conclusion, he maintained that the President of the Executive Government had no right to take on himself to send off an expedition without consulting . the National Assembly, and perhaps involving France in a Kurrpean war without her consent. M. MLONTALEMBEItT, who followed, said he took a dif ferent view of the Italian question. He was not coming to defend the government, but he could not help thanking it for the glorious initiative it had assumed, and the Assem bly for the handsome manner in which it had hailed the resolution of the government. The question did not rest at Milan, it was at Rome, where resided the spiritual sovereign over two hundred millions of men. It was an an -1111 nee good fortune and honour for the republic to have placed the sword of Charlemagne at the disposal of the virtuous Pius IX., the most innocent, the most irreproachable of men, who had kept every promise he had made to his people, an d irecribed on his banner, " Am nesty and Relorm." The glorious pontiff had been insulted and besieged by a vile populace, and defended only by about 80 old men, armed with halberds, and who were not Swig solders, as asserted by M. Ledru Rollin. M. de Mendes'. bert found fault with the instructions given to M. de Cor celles, inasmuch as they were confined to protect the person of the Pope. His person was infinitely dear and sacred for him, but there was still something more dear and sacred, which was his authority. Now, the ambassador declared that that authority was null, for he wrote that none of his acts were free and voluntary. He could not, he said, admit the comparison drawn by M. Ledru Rollin between the revolutions of France and Rome. " Could I," he exclaimed " compare the National Assembly of France with that Assembly, on the steps of which the murder of M. Rug was perpetrated, and whia. nevertheless, continued ondisturbedly to read its minute: without a single word of the incident listing mentioned dar ing the entire sitting ? Could I compare that conduct with that of the French Assembly on the 15th of May end the 23rd of June? (No, no.) Can I compere our brave army, so admirable in the field, so generous after victory, with that military rubble of Rome, assailing in hie palms a father who had loaded them with benefits? Can I com pare our national guard, who bravely joined in all the exploits of the army, with those national guards coldly look ing on at the murder of U. Rossi, and =akin/ no attempt to Meyer i• or to arrest the murderer i " M. Montatembert then begged lame to say a few words in favour of a few mer colleague who bad been at all times his adversary. He had combated him as a professor, as a peer of Frause,l anu an embamador; but he now paid him a sot mss homer. All his errors had been effaced by the glory of his death. Me bad nobly served France, and honoured her by his des& M. de Montalembert added that he had voted that the French republic was democratical because he could not con ceive an aristocratical republic; but he did not vote the de meaned poignard, celebrated by the Romans as the aven ger and triumph of the democratical cause. M. ROOM/ QUINIT, who spoke next, amidst the noise of private co n versation, concluded by declaring that the sup pression of the Roman revolution by French troops would be an attempt against the Italian nationality, and a violation of the principles of the revolution of February. M. C. Duette, the next speaker, fully approved the deter mination of the French government. M. Jut= Frina, who followed, condemned the inter ference of France as inopportune and impolitic. He then undertook to prove, by historical citations, that the temporal power of the Pope was not intimately connected with his spiritual power. The question at issue was an Italian, not a French question. He nest contested the right of the chief of the executive, in virtue of the constitution, to declare war se even to commit an act of hostility—without the sane. lion of the Assembly. The Pope was not only safe, but free. He had accepted the programme of the new ministry, and was not exposed to the dagger of assassins. Cireum stetson, he maintained, bad not been sufficiently pressing to induce the government to adopt so important a resolution without prey ously consulting the Assembly, unless the pre sident of the council thought that the Assembly would not grant it its sanction. 11, DUVAVEIR, Minister of the Interior, said that a few days ago the President of the Connell had apprised the As sembly of the motives that had arrested the negotiations relative to Lombardy, without any objection being raised. He then proceeded to read the despatches of M. d'Harcourt to demonstrate that the government had been justified in ordering the expedition to sail for Clefts, Vecchia. It was the very calmness of the Roman population in pretence of the murder of M. Rossi that had filled the ministry with appre-, &mien for the security of his Holiness, knowing besides that be had only 100 Swim to defend his person, and that on the 18th, the date of the last despatch, he protested spinet the violence that was offered him. It was not a declaration of war, as asserted by M. Fevre. The government had sent three steam-frigates to cruise before Civita Vecchia. Teams had been embarked to he landed in cue of necessity, and the instructions given to M. Candles were of such a nature that he could adopt no decisive resolu don without the co operation of the Assembly. His mission was confined to the protection of the Pope's person, for which three steam-frigates and a brigade had been placed at big disposal. That was not a declaration of war. Had the Pope's safety been compromised, the government would have been reproached with having delayed so long acting and using the power confided to it by the Assembly. Had the Assembly blamed that act, it would have countermanded, on Tuesday, the departure of the expedition, which had, perhaps, not yet sailed from Marseilles. He could not tell how far the inter nation might proceed. That would depend on cir cumstances ; but in all cases the government would adopt no measure without consulting the superior ' authority of the National Assembly. The govern went considered it a sacred duty to insure the liberty of the Pope, but it meant to extend the intervention as far as IC Montalembert desired. When the Pope took the glorious initiative of bestowing reform on his subject', several powers protested against his determination ; but France de clared that his Holiness was perfectly free to grant his peo ple whatever ionitotio she thought proper. It had been said that Austria would interfere in imitation of France. He did not know what Austria would do, but what be knew was that, it the Pope had found refuge at Milan or Vienna, the I French government would have been deservedly condemned fur net having acted in time. In conclusion, he ridiculed the idea of involving 'ranee in a war by a measure devoid ell all hostility, and said that, as it would be an unjust war, France would know how to repel it. M. LLKOCHZIACQUiLIO having insisted on the ministry telling on what day the expediting had sailed, General Lamoriciare replied that the order for the steam frigates to sail from Coulon to Marseilles had been forwarded on Sun day afternoon, and repaired on the following morning; that M. Corcellee left Paris on Monday evening ; and that since then no intelligence had reached the government. M. Jetne Pavan again ascended the tribune, and de clared that the government should have apprised the As sembly of that resolution on Monday. ()nevi' CAVAIONLO replied that the government had only forwarded orders on Sunday to the Maritime Pre fect at Toulon to send the frigates to Marseilles, but that 'be order contained not a word respecting their ulterior destination. On Monday it was too late, when the council adopted its final rest lotion, to apprise the Assembly of it. Gen C4lOlOOOO having concluded, several orders of the day were proposed, but the Assembly gave priority to the PRUSSIA.—We have intelligence from Berlin to the 29th ult.

Five battalions of the landwehr hav e likewise been despatched with the utmost expedition to Thuringia.

PROCLAMATION.—A% I, according to my prodamatise of the 20th and 23rd of October, fell myself compelled to put in force the threatened measure of military law, upon Um entry of the imperial troops in the interior of the city, I also felt myself under the necessity of addressing a wren and warning notice to all who then presumed to preach ap sedition. cr who, by means of constantly renewed edlectite of people and revolts, kept the population of the city it " constant state of feverish excitement, whereby their bee. nets and credit were injured, and they became generally in. poverished ; and, is a word, by which they were exposed to all the horrors which lawlessness could bring upon nu. kind ; I have now room for hope that I have obtained this end, and, as already some of the moat dangerous of tows disturber' have been dealt with according to the military laws, that there are amongst the misled, or rather of ths inculpated, a portion worthy of being pardoned ; I now further order that, from the present moment, all inquiries that shall be brought forward respecting those who stn share in the last disturbance shall not be brought before a military commission, but before the ordinary civil tribunal' for the trial of criminal eases, so far as relates to such Ma hone, by which proceeding such mitigation of punishment may be given as could not have been carried out under the strict rules of a military court-martial.
