Tar illegal and arbitrary decree by which the King of Pauseu has assumed a power of life and death over the newspapers in his dominions, is the most despotic measure on which his Ms.msrit has hitherto ventured. But it is in perfect conformity with its antecedents. The Kura has openly broken with the intelligence and public spirit of the nation, ',and having insulted and dismissed the Chambers, which were its constitutional organ, was not likely to tolerate its free manifestation through the press. And as the Constitution guarantees to every Prussian the right to express his opinion freely, by writing and printing, and forbids any restrictions on the liberty of the press otherwise than in the way of legislation, the Constitution is again violated. The decree of June 1 makes the de pendents of the Kiwi the absolute disposers of that liberty, and empowers them to prohibit and suppress any journal with the tone, tendency, or " attitude " of which they may be dissatisfied. No reason is given, and none can be pretended, for this new violation of the rights of the subject. No foreign war or internal commotion menaces public tranquillity. The Prussian journals, like the people, are moderate and self-restrained under the grossest provocation a nation ever received. In the Ministerial report which, in the Prussian Muni err, precedes the Royal Decree, it is ex pressly said that the Government is compelled to assume an arbitrary power over the press, because the newspaper articles most objected to contain " nothing of which the law can take hold," " no " thing which can be made the ground of • pro " aeration." It is, therefore, the utility and not the absseof the press that the Government seeks to de stroy. It is no light thing for • nation pre-eminent for education and enlightenment--a people among whom intelligence is diffused more widely than among any other in Europe—to be exhibited to the world as the helpless victim of • Go vernment which is distinguished for nothing but ignorance and brutality, and the suspicion and jealousy which always accompany misrule. The downward course in which the KING has made such rapid progress since his coronation has com pelled the most moderate of Prussian patriots to ask themselves and one another, what the country has further to hope from • family which, for the last forty years, has done nothing but betray the confidence of the nation and ob struct its progress. The new outrages, which the KING covers with his name and which too faith fully represent his character, are of a nature to destroy the last link that connects the constitu tional party with his throne. There is one person in Prussia who cannot be an unconcerned spectator of this movement. The Crows Panics does not, like his father, persis tently shut his eyes to all sources of intelli gence. He may not be aware of the extent to which national feeling is being gradually, but surely, alienated from his house. But he surely has the good sense to know what is the irresistible ten dency of the policy pursued by the KING. His interests for the present, at all events, are iden tical with those of the people, for his rights are endangered in proportion as these of the nation are placed in jeopardy. The present is a time to try his temper and show what stuff he is mule of. Whatever delusion the KING may be under, he has only a life interest in the Crown, and the Panics is not bound to stand idly by and see his own rights and those of his chil dren sacrificed. The PRINCE appears to be aware that some manifestation of opinion, some act that will separate him from the policy of the Government, is proper in his situation. We fear, however, that the speech be has just made at Dar:tsic will do little to revive the enthusiastic feeling for the Crown which the Kum has done so much to extinguish. The PRINCZ confines himself to a cold and barren statement that be took no part in the deliberations which preceded the ordinances, and that their publication took him by surprise. ibis is all the PRINCI thought it necessary to say of an act which not only sub- j THE EXPRESS, SATURDAY EVENING, JUNE 6, 1863. verts the moat essential liberties of the nation, but humiliates Prussia in the face of the world. It ap pears, however, that the utter prostration of political liberty is not inconsistent with such glory as his Royal Highness desires for the nation, for he makes the astonishing remark that " under his 3ls.is4rv's sceptre Prussia is securely approach " ing the greatness which PROVIDENCE has marked "out for her." The CROWN Paises is helpless and hopeless indeed if he imagines that greatness of any kind is attainable by the path in which his father is conducting Prussia. WILLIAM MARRYIELD and Major-General FABARL may or may not deserve censure, or even dismissal. But their misconduct does not exonerate Colonel CRAWLEY. That officer has demonstrated his Un fitness for the office which he now holds. Lord HARTINOTON WOMB to regret that he " could not " hand over some one victim who might have " atoned for the sufferings of Sergeant-Major " Lroxy and his comrades." His lordship is mistaken. One victim at least there is, and unless the Duke of CAMBRIDOR can make up his mind voluntarily to do an act of public justice, he will infallibly be compelled to do so by the rising storm of popular indignation. AT length the COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF has de livered judgment upon the case of Colonel Casw- LEY and the unfortunate Sergeant LILLEY, in a Memorandum, couched in language somewhat stronger than generally issues from the Horse Guards. The publication of such a document on the very eve of Mr. FORTEBCI•E'S motion, Was cer tainly an ingenious device to put a stop to further inquiry. But the device has obviously failed. Whatever may be the ultimate fate of Colonel CRAWLEY, the Duke of C tI4BRIDOR may rely upon it that his Memoran dum will be discussed by the non-commissioned officers and privates in the British army with per fect candour and justice ; and if the result of these discussions has any tendency to exalt his personal prestige or to promote military discipline, the human nature of the British soldier must be very different from that of other men. If poor LILLEY had been a lieutenant in the Guards, and had been in danger of losing only a week's pay, he would without difficulty have extorted at the hands of the PRIME Mizeisree a committee to in quire into his grievances. But being the son of a Lincolnshire carrier, and an admirable soldier, counting eighteen years' continuous good service, it seems impossible to bring a Colonel to account who, by his illegal and tyrannical conduct, not only placed him under arrest, but is said to have ac tually hastened his death. Colonel CaswLey still commands the Inniskilling Dragoons : and what are the charges against him He is charged with having transformed one of the best regiments in the service into one of theworst. He is charged with having placed Sergeant LILLEY and two other non-commissioned officers under arrest for conspiracy, although no charge was ever preferred against them, and although not a shadow of evidence was produced to support the alleged crime. He is charged with having confined Liux'v, along with his dying wife, in so small an apart ment that the man died of vexation and exhaus tion. He is charged with attributing the death of this unfortunate soldier not to the real cause which produced it, but to excess in the use of ardent spirits. In short, the charges against Colonel CRAWLEY are, • that his conduct was illegal and inhuman to one of the best soldiers in the army whilst ho lived, and that he grossly calumniated him after he was dead. Does the Duke of Csmearnoe believe these charges, or does he not? Read the Memorandum. From the begin ning to the end he finds them substantially proved. He distinctly says that Colonel CRAWLEY has shown himself unfit to command a regiment. His con duct is described as highly " reprehensible ;" nor does he hesitate to rebuke Sir HUGH Rose :or the manner in which he had dealt with the case, and attempted to shelter Colonel CRAWLEY. What is to be done? If a commanding officer ruins a regiment, destroys discipline, quarrels with his officers, tyrannizes over his men, what is the duty of the COMMANDER-m•Caier I If he entertains any doubt as to the facts let him make inquiry ; if he considers the facts proved, let the delinquent officer be cashiered. But the Duke of Csm- BRIDOZ does neither of these things. He is satisfied that the facts are correctly stated, and therefore further inquiry would be idle. But it seems that the Major-General " under whom immediate command Colonel " Cs...swiss , is serving has expressed a high " opinion of that officer." The Commszenea-rw- Clirel does not venture to assert that he coincides in that opinion ; nor does there seem to be any good reason why the opinion of this Major-General should be deemed conclusive—on the oontrary, this very Major-General was himself implicated in the illegal arrest of poor Liuzv which hastened his death. The Duke of CAM BRIDGE did not hesitate to overrule the opinion of Sir Hvoe Rose himself, though su perior in rank to the Major-General. The Duce did not feel himself precluded from examining into the case, which had already been decided by the Indian Commander-in-Chief, and adopting an opposite conclusion. In so doing the DUKE only exercised the authority which properly belongs to his office. To shelter himself behind a Major-General is to shrink from performing the most essential duties which &recast upon him. The COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF is not bound to register the decrees of his subordinates. Certainly, he is not bound to denounce the character of an officer in a public memorandum, and then to shrink from fol lowing up his rebuke by some fit punishment. It is certainly difficult to understand how any high-spirited officer can continue in command of his regiment after the publication of such a Memo rsndum respecting him as that which has been issued by the Horse Guards. The proper course for Colonel CEA WLEY to pursue would be to demand a court of inquiry, or a court martial, in order to vindicate his character. If he hesitate to make this demand it can only be that he foresees the inevitable verdict of such a tribunal. But consider the position of the Inniskilling Dragoons so long as Colonel CRAWLEY commands that regiment. Instead of being commanded, as in times past, by some of the best officers in the service, it will be notorious that it is commanded by an officer who is de clared by the Commarerni-IN-Cnier to have disor ganized them, and who is so conscious of the truth of the charge that he dares not make the attempt to vintlicate his character. What sort of influence will such a commanding officer have over his officers What sort of autho rity will he be able to exert over his men I If, the Duke of CAMBRIDGE admits, Colonel Casw- LILY was unfit to command a regiment before his character was known, how can he have been rendered lees unfit now that his character has been impeached by the criticisms of the Horse Guards? If, indeed, the British army is to be considered the property of those who have paid large sums for their commiesions, the course which has been pursued in this ow admits of some sort of defence. Bat even according to this view it would be possible to avoid the terrible necessity of retaining Colonel CRAWLEY in bin command. Let him be permitted to sell his commission—nay, let him amens the compensation money duo to him at any sum he pleases ; for it is better to pay any sum of money, however extravagant, than to keep one of the finest regiments of her MArrary's service in a state of chronic sanely, under the control of an officer who respects neither the rules of law nor the dictates of humanity. We have purposely abstained from entering into the technical matters introduced into this question by the Marquis of Hssruorrox. Sir gbe Court. BtLMORAL. Jews 4. The Queen drove out yesterday, accompanied by Princess Louise. Prince Alfred hu been fishing constantly in the Dee. A deputation from the Canning•town and Victoria Dock district had an interview with the Right Hon. Sir George Grey yesterday, to solicit the Home Secretary to give in structions for the erection of a police station in the district and increase the number of constables, giving sn amount of protection equivalent to the heavy tares paid. Despatches were sent from the Colonial-office yesterday to the Governors of the Cape of Good Hope, Natal, and St. Helena. having been recently placed by " a judicial i THE SCHOOL SPEECH DAY AND REGATTA AT decision" under the management of M. Auguste ETON. Chevalier, a government deputy, and thereby contrives, at an opportune moment, to throw dirt upon a system which an immense majority of the population of Paris has legally protested against. It may have grounds to hope and believe that the government will not long persevere in that system. At all events M. Auguste Chevalier personally, and MM. Vierne and Melvil, the signers of the article complained of, are to be prosecuted by the France, The coincidence of the Ascot Cup race and the school speech day and regatta at Eton falling on the 4th of June turned out moat unfortunately for the latter. A. royalty is not endowed with the faculty which a blundering Irishman attributed to bird'', of being in two places at the same time, either the cup day at Ascot or the speech day at Eton must have been deprived of the coveted presence of the Prince and Princess of Wales. To ensure their presence then, the ceremony at Eton College, which, in the UMW course of things, should have come on on the 4th, was post poned to the sth of June. But, alas for the Etooises, the bright sunshine of the 4th had disappeared, and a wet and cold day did very much to mar what was intended to be a splendid public ceremony and spectacle. The proximity of Windsor Castle to Etoo College must ever make it an object of interest to the royal family. Sot in addition to the good feeling which arises from close neighbourhood, an institution so ancient and renowned as Eton must be held in affectionate regard and respect by the members of the royal line. As a seat of teeming in which Walpole and Si. John had their first struggle—a struggle which they maintained for so many years after—where Chatham, and North, and Fox, Wellington, Wellesley, and Canning, Fielding, Grey, and Waller, P..rson, Hallam, Am, spent their early years and were trained for the triumphs which they achieved in after life, the r resew* of the Prince and Princess of Wales yesterday had a mean ing beyond the mere psgesntry of a royal visit, which was quite independent of the state of the weather. The college authorities made all suitable preparations for the reception of the royal visitors, sod the town of Eton wee ornamented with flags and baooera. The " Oppidans^ did all they could to appear to the best advantage, and there was not one amongst them who did not carry at the button-hole a bunch of flowers, the solitary indications that it was a day in June. There was au evident resolution amongst them that come what might they would be cheerful and carry theftte to a merry conclusion in spite of any wea ther- a resolution which they maintained in the face of disadvantages which increased every hour as the day ad vanced. The Pays invents a dilemma which very strik ingly illustrates the guiding principle upon which the French government has heretofore acted, but upon which I apprehend it cannot safely act much longer. The dilemma is worked out thus :—ln politics everything superfluous is hurtful. Now. the Emperor grants all necessary reforms before anybody else perceives that they are wanted. That being so, it was clear that there was no necessity to elect MM. Thiers, Berryer, and Marie to stimulate the Emperor. Argot their election is an evil. The Siecie has received a communique stating that the baud which played a serenade in the night at Versailles, to celebrate the election of the pre fect's son-in-law, was not a military band, but a philharmonic society. The Debate says : Although the new opposition members MM. Thiers, Berryer. and Marie have been, in times past, separated by diversities of opinion which are well known, they are DOW united on a common ground and under one unmistakeable flag. The principle of the flag, the rallying cry of the new elections, is "liberal and constitutional reform." The elec tors have not voted on parliamentary governineet, on legi timacy, or the republic ; they have not voted on the Polish question, or the Italian question ; but they have voted upon that great question of home policy which is summed up in the one word, rightly understood—liberty. Th►t the Con otittatonnel and Pays should endeavour to disguise this re sult does not surprise us. But we are confident that the government will not fail to understand, interpret, and ac knowledge the true meaning of the demonstration, and that is enough for us. The Bourse is dull, with little business doing, and Rente has fallen 10e. Shortly after eleven o'clock the students and visitors, who arrived in considerable numbers from the surrounding neighbourhood and the metropolis, assembled in the Quadrangle to witness the mrival of the royal party, which took place a little after twelve o'clock. Their royal high. nesse' and suite arrived at the college in two pony phaetons and four with outriders in the royal livery. The Prince of Leiningen rode in the same carriage with the Prince and Princess, and the other carriage contained the Countess of Macclesfield, Major Teesdale, and other members of the royal suite. Having alighted in the Quadrangle they pro ceeded to the upper school, and were loudly cheered us their passage. The Prince and Princess were received by the provost, the fellows, the head master, and other college authorities, and conducted to their places in the ball where the speeches were to be delivered. Amongst those present were, th_ Archbishop of Canterbury, the Archbishop of York, Bishop of Lincoln, Bishop of Oxford, Duke and Duchess of Buccleuch, Duke of Wellington, Duke of St. Albans, Ducheas of Beaufort, Lord and Lady Etch°, Lord and Lady Taunton, Lord and Lady Sydney, ac., die The address to their Royal Bienemes the Prince and Princess of Wales was delivered by Lord Harvey. It is too lengthy for entire insertion, but its spirit will be indicated by the following extracts : Welcome, thrice welcome ye, who deign to share Our Joys, fair Denmark's boast. great England's heir! Not ours Use tribute of unmeaning praise: The deafening cheers our youthful voices raise, Tell but of offerings from the heart that sow, Your right to clsun, our gory to bestow. o beauteous floweret, pride of Elsinore, That from the distant steep of Umbria s shore Hest rouse to bloom on this our sis.girt When, Peace and glad Content end Plenty smile, Fair olfahuot of a kindred stem, we bless That day of pure uumingled happiness, When safely wafted user the foaming tide England brat saw thee by our Prince's side, Line the sweet orb which leads the starry dance, Mild Evening's charm serene—in Ileaveris expanee. Addressing the Prince, and referring more particularly to the college, the addre ss proceeds to nay : Where carat thou truer subjects hope to find Than those whom Eton proudly teaches here Their country and their sovereign to revere Why should I tell of those who foremost died In freedom's cause by Almo's ted.hill side t Who tell before the cannon's murderous rain, Or sank through slow disease and lingering palm. Why should I veck Fame's records to unroll Or search the bia/oned page of virtue's scroll r Look round these walls bright patterns will ye find Of virtue, courage, loyalty combined. The following is the programme of the speeches delivered on the ocouion : 1. Lord Francis Hervey, the Address; 2. Freeth max, Philipp It ., Cicero; 3. Walter ma, Idylls of the King, Tennyson ; 4. Kennedy ma, K. S., Monson- tour, Macaulay ; 5. Thine ma, llsiipus, Sophoclea • 6. Wood, Malvolto, Sbakspeare ; 7. Puller, Chdde Byron; 8. Mc. Kerrell, Welleastein, Schiller ' • 9.

Follett, Oa French Revolution, Burke ; 19. Cole, K.S., Philip Van Artevelde, Taylor ; 20. Fremantle, Last Speech of Lord Chatham ; 21. Moore, K. S., Lalla Ruokh, Moore. After the termination of the speeches, which occupied& considerable time in the delivery, the royal party . were coo. cheited to the chapel, which contains several interesting objects, sod which has recently been decorated in a beauti• ful and elaborate °stoner. Having been shown the prince. pal objects of interest, the Prince and Princess and royal party lunched with Dr. Goodford, the provost. The beautiful model in silver of the chapel, presented to the college by William the Fourth, and an elegant epergnes presented to the provost by the Etoniana, appeared eta. spicuous ornaments on the table. The following dice tinguiehed company were invited to meet their royal high. Ueasea Prince Loiuingen, Countess de Grey, Earl d Mount Edgcumbe, Colonel Koppel, General Knotty., Arch. bishop of Canterbury, Bishop of Oxford, Bishop of Lincoln, Duke and Duchess of Buccleucb, Duchess of Beaufort, Duke of St. Allan's, Duke of Wellington , Lord and Lady Echo, Lord and La dy Taunton, Lord and Lady Sydney, Hon.the Very Reverena'the Dean of Windsor and the Hon. Mr. Wellesley, Mrs. Gladstoue, Mr. Van de Weyer, Lord Stratford de Itedclffe, and the Rev. E.Babtes. Their royal highnesses in consequence of the tam were prevented from attending the parade of the ride corps, which took place at 3 o'clock in the college cricket ground, under the command of Captain Richards. The royal party returned to Frogwore shortly after three o'clock. At four o'clock the provost and fellows gave a grand banquet in the college ball, to which 160 of the nobility and gentry were invited. It was hardly expected that the regatta, which forme the chief feature of the speech day, would have taken place in consequence of the rain, which began to fall heavily at six o'clock. But the Etou boy s were determined not to be " done " out of their sport, and in spite of the drenching downfall out they turned in their gay boats, with at least " youth at the prow " if " pleasure " was not "at the helm." If they could not command they at least demised a better day. Nothing could be so well calculated to prove the pluck of the noble fellows who now inherit the trial• Lions of Etoo ; and no man shall make us believe that the old spirit of the country is dead, or that the age has become degenerate, when its bestborn youth are thus ready to dare the elements themselves, because they meant to have their fete, and would not be baulked of it.

As the time draws near, the interest with which the forthcoming entertainment at Guildhall is regarded in. creases. Of the 2,000 odd persons who have been invited by the corporation few indeed have had occasion to decline the compliment, and those only from press. ing considerations. The Duke of Cambridge, the Duchess of Cambridge, and the Princess Mary were amongst the first to swept invitations after the Prince and Princess; and up to last evening the following, among other eminent persons, had intimated their intention to attend the ball : Lord and Lady Palmerston, Earl Granville, the Doke of Newcastle, the Duke and Duchess of Somerset, the Duke of Buoclench and Lady Victoria Scott, the Duke and Duchess of Manchester, the Duke end Duchess of Wel lington, the Duke and Duchess of Sutherland, the Duke of Richmond, the Duke of St. Albans, the Marquis and Mar chimer of Ailesbury, the Marquis and Marchioness; of Salisbury, the Earl and Countess De Grey and Ripoo, the Earl and Countess of hiaoclesfield, Earl Grosvenor and Lady Constance Grosvenor, the Earl and Counter of Mount- Edgcumbe, Viscount and Viscountess Sydney, Lord and Lady Stanley of Alderley, Lord Clyde, Lord Harris, the Chancellor of the Exchequer and Mrs. Gladstone, Sir George and Lady Grey, Sir Charles and Lady Wood, Sir Robert and Lady Emily Peel, the Marquis of Harlington, Baron Lionel and Barone= de Rothschild, Mr. and Mrs. Disraeli, Sir Edward Boles: Lytton, and Sir William Hayter ' • nearly all the foreign ambassadors, and fourteen of the judges, lords justices, and vice-chancellors. Lord Derby will not be able to be present, nor will Earl and Carotene RusselL At • recent meeting of the Court of Aldermen, held at the Mansion-house, • resolution was passed on the mom mendatioo of their General Purposes Committee, conferring on Colonel Fraser, the newly-appointed Csninimaioner of Police for the City, something like despotic powers to clear the public thoroughfares from Temple-ter to the Mansion house and Guildhall, so as to maintain an uninterrupted passage for the carriages bearing the Prince and Princess, with the suite of their royal highnesses. The commis sioner, armed with this authority, has since issued certain regulations for the occasion, which concern the public sane r illy, but more particularly all persons invited to the Pte. They are to this effect. The ball will be opened for the recep tion of guests at 6 o'clock. From half-pnit sno carriage or other vehicle will be allowed to enter or remain in Fleet street, Ludgate-hill, St. Pad's-churchyard, Cheapside, or the Poultry, unless provided with a ticket for Guildhall. The barriers in the neighbourhood of the hall will be closed as early at 5 o'clock, and after that hour no person, ex cepting 'eremite attending upon the carriages of guesta, will be allowed to enter or remain in Guildhall-yard or the immediate approaches. Carriages containing persons provided with tickets may pass the barriers up to half. peat 8 o'clock, after which time no carriage will be per mitted to do so on any pretence until the Prince and Primes shall have pawed. All carriages with 'guests for the hall must approach from Cheapside, through King street, and set down in Guildhall-yard. Oa leaving the ball carriages will pees off through Guildhall-buildings and Basinghall.street. THE KING OF THE BELGIANS. We are sorry to learn that the King of the Belgians is again in • very critical state of health. The accounts received from Brussels on Thursday were of so alarming • nature that Madams Van de Weyer, wife of the Belgian Minister at this court, gave up at the last moment her announced intention of " receiving " at the New Lodge, in Windsor Park, after the Cup race at Ascot. Their Royal Highnesses the Prince and Princess of Wales will honour the Earl and Countess of Derby with their presence ate grand banquet, on the 24th hut., at their mansion, in St. James's-square. Their Royal Highnesses the Duchess of Cam bridge and the Princess Mary will honour Him Conti.' with their presence on the 11th and Zinl inst. Lady Molesworth entertained at dinner last even ing, at her residence in Eaton-place, the Earl of Clarendon. the Earl and Counter Stanhope, the Farl and Countess of Oarnarvoe, Mr. Chichester Forteacue, M.P., and Frances Countess of Waldegrave, the Earl Russell and Lady Georgie& Russell, Lord Stanley, M.P., Sir R.

The Need of to-day says :—" At the moment when a new step is about to be taken in regard to Russia by the three powers, we think it is necessary to recapitulate the facts which have led to it, and the special points which characterise it. On the Bth of May the British government proposed to France and Austria that they should, in concert, demand once more of Russia the declaration of an armistice. At the same time the Austrian govern ment offered to ask from Russia, in favour of Poland, all that she herself has given to Galicia. Thus there were two distinct propositions. These are the propositions which M. Drouyn de Lhuys has turned into one which has been adopted at London and Vienna, and which, contained in three notes, simultaneous though not identical, will to-day (Saturday) leave Paris, London, and Vienna, for St. Petersburg. In these notes Russia is asked to give Poland a national representation to the Diet of Lemburg, the use of the Polish language, administrative autonomy, liberty of worship, and a system of normal recruiting. At the same time a suspension of hostilities during the progress of the negotiations is asked for." (REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.) FIRST WARNING TO THE BERLIN PRESS. BERLIN, Jcza 6. The publishers of the six newspapers which pro tested yesterday against the recent press ordinance have received a first warning. The reasons for this step are stated to be that the papers in question have distorted facts, represented them in an odious light, aroused hatred against the government, ex cited disobedience, and on account of their attitude generally. THE POLISH INSURRECTION. CRACOW, Jun 6. On the 29th ult., an engagement took place at Grochowy, in the Palatinate of Kalisz, in which the Russians were defeated by the insurgents with great loss. They returned, however, to the attack on the following day at Slawiazyn, when they were again defeated. Another encounter took place on the 31st ult. at Brudzewo, in which several waggons full of Rue eillon soldiers were driven across the frontier into Prussian territory, where they were received by the authorities and cantoned at Pleszewo. EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (110 K OUR OCR commerotrourr.) PARIS, FRIDAY Evxmc. The Daily News is seized. M. de Persigny, as long as he remains in power, may be expected to vent his anger upon foreign journals more than ever, now that the King of Prussia has shown his admiration of the French inventions for annoying the press by adopting them as essentially necessary to the support of the divine right principle, by which that infatuated monarch is prepared to stand or fall. When Paris, Lyons, Bordeaux, Marseilles, and Nantes have protested by enormous majorities against M. de Persigny's system of government, he may have had misgivings whether he did his master lany service by confiscating foreign newspapers iu the post-office. It must have struck his mind that the causes of the dissatisfaction so audibly ex pressed in these great centres of civilisation and intelligence, so widely removed from each other, must have been altogether internal, and such as were not susceptible of being created or sensibly aggravated by the comments of foreign journals written in a foreign language, and having scarcely any circulation in France. But the grand example of the King of Prussia, who, in a decree signed with his own royal hand, imports into Prussia, as a measure of public safety, M. de Persigny's darling system of seizing foreign j journals on the frontier, must necessarily confirm the French minister in his old habits, blunt any • I tendency to repentance, and fill him with more exalted ideas than ever of his own wisdom. Populus me sibillat at mini plaudo. The King of Prussia is at this moment execrated by all Europe, and even M. de Persigny's own journals blame him. But in justice to that purblind monarch, who is, perhaps, hastening a revolution by this very campaign against the press, it ought to be borne in mind that his decree falls far short of the tyranny of the French law actually in vigour. He propcses, it is true, to suppress any Prussian journal after two warnings; but a court of appeal is constituted to judge of the propriety of these warnings. By the law of France, warnings are superfluous torment—the playing of a cat with a mouse—for the Emperor cia suppress any journal he pleases without a moment's ❑otfice or preliiiiinary formality. It is already known that a great many petitions against the return of government candidates, on the ground of illegal acts committed by the admi nistration, will be presented as soon as the new chamber meets. An amusing case is vouched for by M. Alfred Pereira, a defeated independent can didate of high respectability, who was formerly pre fect of the Loiret, and must therefore have a just reverence for authority. This ex-high functionary states that in very many communes of his circum scription the mayors, garden cliampstre-s, and I ether agents of authority," on Sunday, May 31, while the election was going on, spread the false report that he, the opposition candidate, hail been arrested on the previous Friday, for having attacked the Hotel de Ville of Orleans, at the head of 400 or 500 rioters ; that he was then in prison ; and that Orleans was in a state of siege. An article of the prefectoral journal, Le Journal du Loiret, accredit ing these falsehoods, was publicly read aloud in the streets. M. A. Pereira proposes to prove these facts to the Corps Legislatif, and demand that the election of the government candidate, the Duke de Tarente, shall be declared null and void. The France says to-night that the Pays will be made a co-defendant in the action for libel which it proposes to bring against the Constitutionnel. The cause of action, as I stated yesterday, is that the France is accused of " treason" to the govern ment in the matter of the elections. Whether the code authorises such an action for a libel upon that THE SULTAN INCOO. The Levant Herald of May 28 publishes the fo] lowing amusing incident concerning the Sultan, reminding one of Hero= Alnuchid's perambulations : "The Sultan was, two evenings back, the hero of a small adventure, which, with the addition of a few imaginative touches, might be made to read like an episode of the `Arabian Nights.' His Majesty, dressed in the common uniform of a bimbashi, crossed quite alone from Kamm Pacha to the Fanar in a one-pair caique. He proceeded to • casino called Kil-bonrnou, and, calling for a cup of coffee, soon got into conversation with the Greeks and Armenians at his own and the adjoining tables. It was noticed that he spoke very freely, and not over reverently, of the Sultan and the minis ters, inviting frank expression of opinion as to both. His fellow-customers spoke out as freely as the bimbashi himself, and uttered some doubtful compliments of more than one holder of a portfolio, but generally expressed their conviction that Fuad and A'ali ?aches ware ' the right men in the right place,' whilst the Sultan himself was univer sally admitted to be a capital fellow.' In the midst of all this free criticism, • certain well-known stuff sauntered into the room, and at a glance recognised the stranger. The secret was soon common property, and the change of man ner towards the bimbashi was surprising. His Majesty saw that he was discovered, but pretending ignorance, coati nu xi his questions ; in vain, however, for the answers now given were lavish praise of everybody and everything from Bnyukdere to the Seven Towers. He then boldly asked if the company knew him ? Of course not ; DO one present had the ghost of a potion who the Effeudi was, though the general impression was that he deserved not to be a mere bimbashi, but Serdar Ekrem or &muskier at least. He then palled out of his pocket a had lithographic portrait of him self and asked if it was like him? Sinferellah / it was dirt, while he was an Adonis! That was enough. His Majesty then rose to leave, but forgot to pay for his coffee ; the ea vijee, however, was so beside himself that he hardly knew whether to insist on payment or to serve the whole company gratis. It ended in the Sultan setting out, accompanied by the cavjee and everybody else, to walk to the old bridge, ' where his suite and a couple of the palace caiques were awaiting him. Before embarking, his Majesty turned to his L late boon companions and thanked them for their remarks on men and things, which, he assured them, he would not forget." We read in the Spectator:—" Dr. Posey has found another opportunity for gratifying his rabid theolo gical tastes. It is understood that among the names suggested by the Prince of Wales for the honorary degree of D.C. L. at the coming commemoration waa that of Pro fessor Kingsley. This name has, however, been withdrawn, on account of the determined opposition offered in the hebdomadal board by Dr. Pusey, Dr. Memel, and others of the bigoted section. Their ground for opposition was, it is said, the heretical and immoral character of Mr. Kingsley 's works, more especially of ' Hypatia,' a work which, though it necessarily describes the external aspect of a slowly-rotting society, is io tone and object the highest of all Mr. Kingsley's writings.
