LONDON, THURSDAY, OCT. 29. THE NEW FRENCH MAP. IN the time of the Grand Monarque, the government of France was described as a despo tism tempered by chansons. All governments in France have a tendency to be despotic, and all are equally tempered by epigrams. It has been reserved for the Second Empire to present to Europe the spectacle of a great military monarchy tempered by—maps. The Second Empire is the First revised and corrected by the civilization of a later epoch; 1805 tempered by 1852. The First Empire was insatiable in ambition, unmitigated in repression, incessantly at war, unlimited in annexations. It absorbed states, distributed kingdom., aimed at nothing less than the tem poral and even the spiritual sovereignty of the Western and the Eastern Empire. It was to be the universal Empire, the universal Papacy, the universal Patriarchate, and sooner or later perhaps to combine the double supremacy of the Crescent and the Cross. What became of these insensate dreams and these monstrous hallucinations of a brain dis ordered by absolute and irresponsible power; how in the apace of two short years this visionary fabric of omnipotence vanished away, and in the returning light the nightmare was no more, what need to relate ? Liberal Franc:: has long since expiated the folly of its alliance with the disciples of the Napoleonic faith under the Itaitoration and the monarchy of July. The Second Empire has destroyed the legend of the First. But the Third NAPOLEON, as a man who under stands his epoch, has had at least the moral courage or the common prudence to content himself with a duodecimo edition, and a prose version, of his Uncle's epic. His own particular wars hare been very short if not decisive ; he has taken provinces from an ally, not kingdoms from his enemies ; and, after all, the withdrawal from Mexico, at the summons from Washington, and the abandonment of MAxisilmts to his fate was a very pale copy of the retreat from Moscow. At Rome his diplomatic and military action, teasing and lecturing and pamphleteering the HOLY FATHER to-day, letting him lose half his States to-morrow, doing wonders for him with the Chassepot the day after, alternately vowing to defend him for ever, and threatening to give him up aa in curable, has recslled only by the force of contrast the passages of the " Napoleon Corre " spondence" which concern the captivity of a former Pius, and ;the abolition of the temporal power. Even the domestic policy of the Second Empire has scarcely ventured to repro duce the likeness of the First. There has been the same administrative organisation of universal suffrage, the same sort of Senate and of Legislative Body ; the &Inn system of police ; the same fury of public works; the same of dis cussion. Still there has been discussion ; and it has been found practically impossible to reduce public opinion to perfect silence. The press has never boon so completely hushed under the Second as under the First Empire. And now, after eighteen years' comparatively peaceful experionoo of the blessings of personal government and arbitrary power, the French nation cannot be restrained from d ing those guarantees and rights which trlr il itet NAPOLEON pronounoed in his Ads Ida.- tionnet, after Loipeio and Moscow, and en the eve of Waterloo. Among other ugly symptoms of the awakening of pubs spirit is the recent publication of a narrative (based upon official documents) of the coup d'etaS of the 2nd of December, and the announcement of several histories of the Second Empire. No man race to read his own biography, and a biography written by a hostile hand. No sovereign likes to be warned that he has passed into history. Notwithstand ing, however, the abatement and moderation of the Napoleonic Ideas under the Second Empire, and the peaceful inclinations of a ruler who is not a soldier of genius and who had passed the meridian when he rose to power, personal and military government in France has been found compatible with the semblance, rather than the reality, of a policy of peace. Irre solution, equivocation, a disposition to ad venture, a habit of conspiracy, the rest lessness of a master of legions panting for glory and promotion ; who, being afraid of liberty at home, is continually in search of some diversion abroad, who is for ever tormented by the desire to domineer, to threaten, and intimidate without actually coming to blows, who from time to time feels that something must be said or done to convince his subjects that he is the arbiter of human destinies—all these in compatibilities of temper and position have made the last eighteen years of French Imperialism an anxious and unsettled time for Europe. The fatality of its origin seems to pursue the Second as it did the First Empire. It must be always looking swords if it uses none. So, whether as a sop or a blister, a sedative or an irritant, the Enrison has just brought out a now map of Europe, at which all Paris is staring with derisive curiosity and wondering what it means. One semi-official paper believes that the importance of this map has been exaggerated. Another dismisses it with the remark that it is a handsome one. Another journal, dependent in its criticisms, yet on good terms with the Government, insists that, so far from being an argument for peace it is the reverse, since it shows that Ger many is infinitely more compact as a great military power since Sadows than before and all are agreed that Algeria (which was a conquest of the Restoration and the con stitutional monarchy) can scarcely bo treated as a source of strength to France. In some cases the mapeeller has presumed to interpret this imperial enigma, and to call it " Prance satis '• tied." Let us hope that this interpretation may prove to be the true one. In that case the map would be only an illustration of M.1)11 LAVA LETTS'S celebrated despatch, expressing satisfac tion at the results of the German war, which has disappointed all the Betrattote s calculations. Of course disinterested foreigners can see that if France is not satisfied with her position as a great military power in Europe, she ought to be. If she is in search of causes for dissatisfaction let her look at home. The more dissatisfied sho is with her domestic politics the better for the peace of Europe. If this Map is to be taken as an argument for peace, it should be the preface of disarmament. If it means to justify the con tinuation of an armed peace, it can have no other object or effect than to disturb the money markets, paralyze industry and commerce, and set men asking whether war with all its hazards and its havoc is more unendurable than a peace without confidence and security. By way of companion to this mysterious production may we suggest to some enterprising French publisher to bring out a map showing the frontiers of France at the beginning and at the end of the First Empire; as the " Great Captain" received them from the First Republic, and as he left them after on three distinct occasions rejecting with disdain and anger the liberal terms of peace offered by the Allies THE DUKI OF OENOA'S ENCILISH-LATIN. THE Pull Mall Gazette fears that the Duke of GENOA Will " undergo no small perturbation of " spirit" on having to read the classics with the ordinary English pronunciation at Eton, and hopes VICTOR EMMANUEL will interfere " if such " an outrageisofferedtohisnephew." Our contem porary suggests that " some schoolmaster" should, of his own mere motion, go and " revise the " old vowel sounds" in his own practice, and so set a leading example. But may not the mere presence of the young duke at Eton initiate the desired change? It may be all very well to ten him to pro nounce tres paths treeze parteeze : but can he do it if he tries ? And if not, what then ? Is an Italian prince of the blood, fresh from the soil of the CESARE, to be —no, we dare not write it— because he can't pronounce the word Selzer ' No; our advice would differ from that of the Pall Mall. It is possible the youth may have private instructions in his pocket never to give iu to the mispronunciations of the islanders ; but, if not, let him be put up to the trick, and let all the forms in Eton be incited to rally round his stand ard, and " revise the old vowel sounds." We rather think the masters would have bad quarter-hours, as the French say, in trying to put down such a revolution. Then, too, the infection would spread like wildfire. All the public school , boys would wish to talk like the Duke of GENOA. And the thing would be done ! Of course that need not prevent the head-masters from taking credit for it afterwards. Etta Rownixia. PALMER'S Committee at Oxford, which, as we said yesterday, represents, with very few exceptions, all the working intel lectual forces of the University, and all schools and sections of political and theological opinion, derive a double advantage, in the first place, from the singular and almost unique quali fications of a candidate who is at once so eminent a representative of the highest Oxford culture and so true and faithful and powerful a son of the Church—and secondly, from the obvious and even glaring inferiority of the rival candidate, whether as the successor to Sir Wri.w.tx HEATH.- COTE or even as colleague to Mr. GeTnottan HARDY. There must evidently be many of the soundest Churchmen and even Conservative members of the University, who, while they would swept with a certain enthusiasm a candidate of Mr. HARDY'S stamp, a party leader, a p►rliamentary speaker, and a minister whose vigour and capacity no one denies, could hardly persuade their consciences or their common sense, or their loyalty to the interests of the Church and the University to reject a ROUNDEL!. PALMILR for a MOWDRAY. No one can be surprised to find a conaiciei•,!de number of Mr. HARDY'S adherents in the ranks of Sir 11011tbr.:2.,P•Lifisn's supporters. THE EXPRESS, THURSDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 29, 1868. D iitA F. 1.1, it is said, is not likely to bo in very great ba.te to put an end to the expectant state of Cbureh parties on the eve of a general el Lion. Ne‘ ertholeas, men will speculate and dhesiss the vacancy in the Bee of Canterbury. The prelate whose elevation to the higitest *Soo in the Church of England would give per haps the most satisfaction to moderate ecclesi astics and laymen, is the Bishop of LONDON. The Pommies's wishes in an appointment to the Primacy of all England can hardly be a dead letter, and these would probably be favourable to Dr. Teri. The translation of Dr. TsOll9ON from York to Canterbury is expected by some, and the name of the Bishop of LINCOLN is also mentioned in con nection with the archiepisoopal aloe in either the northern or the southern province. MR. OLADOTONee L•neashire speeches (seven in number) are being printed in • form suitable for wide circulation. They are expected to be in the booksellers' hands on Monday or Tuesday next. OUR CONTEMPORARIES. (THIS DAY.) TIM rare sseirannor oe Cserrimatme. Briefly reviewing the career of the late Areh bialiop of Canterbury, the Tames says there was scarcely any form of church work in which he had not been en gaged, and he acquitted himself honourably in all. The qualities which chiefly marked him contributed a grace and dignity to his office, and his sympathy with every one insured him the regard of all. With respect to the ritualists, he was a man of too simple • taste not to be offended by the gaudy extravagances and of too natural a mind to admit the sophistries by which its members de fend themselves. Between the two extremes of ration ality+ and ritualism be held • middle course. In his per son the church still maintained her identity with the grave and moderate religion of his predeces sors, and he has left so entanglements for his successor. Remarking upon the strange fate which has made Mr. Dis raeli the adviser of the crown with respect to the highest aloe in the church, the Times says that the premier has achieved many dignities to which he woe not born, and our contemporary makes no doubt that he will acquit himself creditably of the present respenshility ; but it also ex presses a hope that while the government will avoid select ing one who has displayed • decided sympathy with any of the parties in the church, they will at the same time en demur in these critical times to obtain a primate of energy and courage. The Daily News says that of Dr. Longley, as of his re cent predecessors, history will have little to say. lie dis liked being forced to take • side ; but when forma he took the side of his convictions, even at the risk, so formi dable to • man of his character and position, of disturbing the news goo. The simple piety of his dying profession of faith, and the unfeigned modesty which led him to clothe it at Hooker's words rather than in his own, have marked the whole of his later career. While at Ripon the natural denire to stay the progress of Trectarianism led him to act with unusual decision in matters of controversy ; but at Durham, at York, and at Canterbury, he made no attempt to favour one party in the church at the expense of the other, or to hinder the natural development of the views most congenial to each. Specu lating on the succession to the primacy, the Daily New. remarks that the Bishop of Lincoln belongs to the typo which long custom has almost consecrated to the archiepiscopal office; but the fifteen years during which be has governed hie present diocese have supplied no gush/ladies& to the reputation which Dr. Jackson had previously earned, and it seems sate to predict that if promoted to the vacant primacy his careen' at Canterbury will be the counterpart of hie career at Lincoln. If, however, the exercise of his patron age should immediately precede Mr. Disraeli's de- Tartars from offioe, he may pownlily prefer the credit of making a good appointment to the couvenience of making a merely safe ens, in which case he might gain credit for advancing to the primacy suck • man se Dr. Selwyn, the Bishop of Lichfield and New Zealand, an appointment which would be most popular throughout the country. The -7Warreph says that, in the pleat and prosperous. current of Dr. Longley's career, there is not much with which to furnish the elegiac muse; kis career was that of an extremely fortunate, judicious, and pious churchman, and his character was of that equable and uncoloured kind which escapes censure by declining venality. INKIDICANDID IN PA AND ITALY. It is bef natural, says the Standard, that with a proba bility of a republic in Spain, and with the encouragement that the restless and determined republicanism of Italy would receive were such a thing to occur, the Emperor of Wrench should be anxious to be on better terns with veniment of the latter country than he has of late Wed particularly anxious to be. But whilitthe Roman question is unsettled, or settled by a fresh and stronger guarantee on the part of Italy that the Pope shall be abso lutely protected In his dominions by herself, such an . . arrangement would strengthen republicanism in Italy more than anything that can be conceived. If, to other causes of his unpopularity, the Xing of Italy were to add actual defence of the Papacy, probably nothing but French bayonets would save him from sharing the fate, es he would already have shared the two most glaring faults, of Isabella U. TIM DIPITNFIT OF QUINN IN LONDON. The Zeiss wants to know, u nearly as may be possible, the exact risk which each individual Londoner now-a days runs of being robbed, and perhaps half murdered, tint in the public streets and then in his own house. As between the criminals and the police, the former appear to be getting decidedly the best of it. The authorities, indeed, do not think of lifting a hand against the dangerous and pestilential robbers' dens which are in the very midst of us. They are as much a recognized institution as convocation ce the Stock Ex change. Our contemporary has no wish to make out that the police are altogether or primarily to blame for this extraordinary state of things; but that to a very great extent they are to blame there can be no doubt ; and the Times commends the subject to the attention of our future legislators.

The thoroughly peaceful intentions of the Austrian government, and the entirely satisfactory state of political affairs resulting from the mutual good feelings and relations of the powers cannot fail to give to the discussion on the Austrian Army Bill shortly to be held, a purely technical character.

(fox Ova OWN PARIS, WEDNESDAY EVENING. There is no doubt now about the authorship of " the " map of Europe, because it is cried in every street as being " published by order of the Empe ror." Some librarians bang it out in front of their shops, side by side with the map and placard bear ing the words La France satisfaite, but I do not think this comment is authorised by his Majesty. A more paltry piooe of quackery than the map was never put forth under the patronage of a crowned head. A Frenchman who is looking over it with me while I write says—This production is below criticism—it is enfantaloge(cluldishnass). Of course the map itself tells nothing but what is already known, but it does not oven tell that well or accu rately. It is a hasty sketch, and replete with mistakes. The commentary, which must ere this be before you, and which is understood to pro ceed from the Emperor's pea, is so jejune and in conclusive as to suggest that the object of it must have been to provoke criticism, and to stimulate the public to say that the map is no argument for paste, but the contrary. This is precisely what the Gaulois, a paper on the best terms with government, does this evening. In answer to the trivial boast that France " with her unity and her 40 millions of subjects, inclu ding Algerians, has nothing to fear from any body," the Oatsluid obsorvos that the Arabs are source of weakness rather than strength, and so fur from being reliable auxiliaries for France in case of war, will always occupy a large foroo to keep them quiet. Then when the eotumentary says that France is in u better position in 1888 than in 1831►, because instead of lowing on her frontiers a Germanic Confederation with a popu lion of 80,000, she has a Germany split into three divisions, the (kakis objects that this reasoning is specious merely. There was no unity for of • the cumbrous Con fed . a vigorous military power ,aulpnented her means of actienlfhe would be very good if t lipid the view of a campaign on the R hine ; bet if Empire doss not look to that, but merely te stand on the defensive, "it is incontestable that the destination of the Germanic Confederation Las resulted in an secretion of the political power of Prussia, which is, in vita of all denials, a menace, or at least an ob stacle, for us." This is probably precisely what the Emperor wishes the public to think and say, in order that when the day of war oomes he may put the responsibility upon his subjects. The Petrie, ashamed of the map and the glossary, says curtly, "We believe the bearing and importance of this publication has been greatly exaggerated." The Asp, the leading war organ, says contemp tuously in an out-of-the-way paragraph :—" We have seen the new map; it is a very handsome one." Even this testimonial is not true, for it is a wretched production, not intrinsically worth house room in any library. The Chateau Laffitte wine of 1811 (the comet year), Put sold by auction at the chateau, fetched the fabulous price of 121 fr. (nearly 51.) a bottle. The purchaser, who was bid against by most of the principal Paris restaurateurs, was M. Gre madly, of the Hotel des Princes et do la Paix. Many other bins fetched 2/. and 31. the bottle. The Bourse took little notice of the map, which was regarded as a plaisantenie, but felt some un canna., at the report from Vienna that M. de Benet had urged grave secret reasons, the force of which bad been admitted, for raising the Austrian army to 800,000 men. Bente fell 23c. for cash and 20c. for account, closing at 70fr. 23c. and 70fr. 30c. The fall of in Consols increased the heaviness of this market. There was, however, a tendency to recovery at the close. At one moment the Route was down as low as 70fr. 20c. Italian full 23c. All other securities were lower. BRIGANDAGE IN ITALY The Naples journals state that Lieutenant Ghia*lli and some men of the Gist Regiment last week captured five brigands forming part of Molinaro's band, concealed in • grotto near Pasting. The bandits were asleep, and with them was a prisoner of San Stephan, aged 16, one of whose ears they had cut off. The lad wept with joy on being reamed, as he fully expected to be killed, not having any hope of hie parents being able to pay a sum of 60,000 fr. demanded for his release. While the brigands were being conducted to Isoletta they endeavoured to escape, but the soldiers tired and killed the whole. A letter from Tenafro, in the Italia of Naples, an nounce' that the Canon Ciro Luosnteforte has been ar rested on the following grounds : —The authorities ascer tained that several sheds in the field belonging to this ecclesiastic bad served as an asylum for the bwinds of the Molise. Instead of conforming to the reguLtions pre eenlied and closing these buildings be left them open, thus giving to the malefactors an excellent shelter. The canon has been placed at the dis petal of the military authorities. The same journal says :—" The brigand Antonio Maacaro of Ac ' curia, • village near Nicastro, went to the &taloa mill with the intention of killing his brother-in-law, Giovanni Mascara. This idea is attributed to long-stand ing rancour. As soon as the bandit perceived Giovanni he killed him with a musket-shot. He then went into the iidghbouring vineyard and discharged the second barrel of his gun against Grego:So Fain, • nailer of the place. who died on the spot. Maacaro then made off and has not sinoe been heard of. He belongs to the band of the Cartage's.. The brigands who captured Giuseppe 'Ve toes, of Torreorsaia. have sent to his family demanding a ransom of 2D,7601r."

The lock of the cell was on th • • of en iron door of great thickness, and the only ne gett.ng out was for the premiers to unlock it tr•ra side. It was said that Simpson had been &went: s locksmith ;at any rate he must have been well ac. . I with the construction of locks.

He La: blown the needle down, and it was allowed to :a opposite the inspection hole. To the threal wi then attached a piece of wire which by own weight fell to the ground. The floor undernesta the door was somewhat worn away. and this gave a • soma an opportunity of hooking in tne wire with :•_! thread attached to it. The key appropriated for open:::. ; the lock was next attached to the thread and a pos. : wire bent on to it. Alter this the whole apparatus a heeded up to the inspection hole. sad another piece : wire was attached to the lever (made of wood), and the key was lowered to about the height of the lock. 1.• means of another piece of string, again blown over th door and previously attached to the handle of the key, i• was kept m a horizontal position, and gradually the in bent ou to it was wo rke d into the key hole. Ti • rest wee then comparatively easy. The key was gent:F drawn into its place, and then turned by means of e. wire attached to the lever part. Another difficulty w that the door handle bad tote turned before the hoits the lock were sent back. That Simpson would effect 1.7 powerfully pressing the button of the handle, which je•-• jetted about • quarter of an inch from the inside of the s.' door.
