Pe. l 11. • a..----Mlinesis. ft. as SONDON. 84TURD.47, DEC. 4. x Thennday Shaming, the sucedef December, the Moutetir ammenend with Ito enetmary glib unar ms@ and easy superiority, that the EMPZIOI bad remitted the senteare of the Correctional Pollee upon DI MOPTALIXBUT. Shortly after noon on the same day, M. Di MOII2ALIMA2T, teen magnificent than the Mositeeer bet non legal , presented himself at the Registrar'. office, accompanied by MM. BRMITZI and Dt7atrli, to lodge an appeal against the sentence which the Master of the Mowiteur, making a law unto himself, had, with a splendid negligence of phrase and a superb indifferent@ to legal forms, remitted in the early morning. Can the right of appeal duly exercised within the delay allowed by law be arrested by a pardon emanating from the Fountain of Dishonour itself? That is now the question which, if M. DE 1102 , 1 TALE K and his counsel win disposed, like FA '10211.1 VS, the philosophical grammarian, to decline to argue with a man in command of thirty legions, would easily be solved according to le lei du pine fort. But we have good reason to doubt whether the illestrioss apologist of liberty in these latter days will be quits so complaisant as the Pegaa of the second century. " I have appealed," he says, " within the term allowed by !As law against " the sentence pronounced against me. Not:lover nment " is France has had, op to the present, the right to " remit a penalty which is sot definitive." The isms is a very simple one. The cause is still sub jollies, and the condemnation, pending the appeal, is, pro tante, null and of no effect. Ustil the time allowed by the law for an appeal had expired, was there any floal judgment recorded upon which the Imperial prerogative could operate? Now that as appeal is duly lodged there can be so manner of doubt that the sentence of the lower court is suspended, and that the defendant is no longer in law a prisoner. Was he a prisoner at the moment when the " pardon" appeared, when he had sot yet appealed, his right of appeal remaining legally ea exhausted Tues. are points to exercise the acutenne of lawyers and to amuse the cariosity of learned amateurs. The question that trans ends all technical considerations, the .question that concerns us all, is—shall force or law predominate ? Ora legal reports of Tuesday exhibited the spec tacle of a meritorious young military officer narrowly escaping the Ices of his oommiasion M the Insolvent Debases Comet. Lieut. Pula xtrx.r., who, although but twenty-ems years of age, appeared before Mr. Caminito/met Muirnr decorated with a medal and two clamps, had been confined in Ipswich Gaol Ise three months, and, on seeking his discharge, was mooed by a firm or army tailor,.

The eppesuig orediten, kowsvor, had allowed their debt to be Mermaid from fifty to ninety pounde;witliout refusing to gent hither audit till their previous debt wee discharged, and winced making any intents inquiry into the circumetemene of the debtor. This moot extravagant tailosoe 101 was not incurred for " load" nether ganneats end math attire, bat fee Owlets Demosarim—for snide@ of military clothing. The gIiNTOWI warmth with which Mr. Commissioner Mu Iltity lIININd till rola • yowl/. WA ter aa °Mine so trivial in tmpo rine with those generally promoted to him, will have bean appreciated by all who heard the eass, er read it as reported. An imprisonment in a COMM gaol tot thee menthe, rater an homed slier t• liquidate the demands of the opposing creditors,' is surely a sufficient punishment for the youthful is. giserstion of Lieuten►nt PLIIIIIIIDGE. Oar principal object in referring to this case ham less, to direct attention to the general position of Aeon in the Army. Hero we have the nephew ef a distinguished admiral, a gallant officer, decorated with medal and clasps, undergoing an imprisonment for three months for a tailor's bill of ninety pounds. All he receives from his country is one hundred a year. Out of this munificent sum he must both clothe and feed himself. Unfortunately, he can do neither the one nor the other, with any regard to :the strict economy required by his slender income. He must dress according to regulation, and according to regulation he mart dine. Simple broad cloth will not do for his apparel : it must be expensive in texture and colour; it must be bedizened with paltry but expensive ornaments, in tinsel, spangles, gold embroidery, and lace. He mast dine at mess, when the youngest subaltern must partake of and pay for the NM° luxurious fare as the colonel and nobles, perchance, with wham be is associated in his regi ment. A year's pay would seemly liquidate Lieu tenant PLUXIUDOWII taller's bill for the absolute necessaries of ea year. Is this fair ? Is this Moldy to induce mess of bravery, science, and military ardour, but 111101111, purses, to join the ranks of the Army as officers P We have exerted ourselves to the utmost to throw open the scientific branches of the Army to merit and competency, rather than to the mare samisen of eleetioseering statesmen. It is Tall, however, by this means to seek to regenerate the Service by raising its standard of efficiency in its most important arm, if we are to be paralysed by the follies of the mates-maker. When the tunic was iatrodoced, the artillery officer was relieved from some of his superfluous gold lace ; but then a gold em broidered pouch and broad gold belt, fit only for a ball-room ornament, as barbarous in taste as it was melees, was added to his attire, so that his pocket was but little relieved. Since then gold braid has been added here, embroidery there, and ornaments of 'pane's and tinsel, till the old extravage.nos Is reached. Why should our gallant officers be bedizened to their cost till they rival in barbaric splendour eastern monarehs ? When our gentlemen attire themselves for the chase, for their manly sports, and kr their yachts, do they trick themselves out in geM lam and embroidery ? Why should not the ordinary and even extraordinary costume of an officer be made to rival in simplicity that in which a WELLINGTON and a NAPOLEON fought and won their greatest victories? Seth a barbarous mode of personal decoration would *ever have been allowed to survive so long were it not that every means seems to be resorted to to make the officers of the Army an exclusive clam, to which wealth alone shall obtain admission. The System of Purchase encourages this. The Army is regarded not so much as a profession in which a man is to distinguish himself by his efficiency as a soldier, as a gentlemanly mode of passing away a few years. The compulsory mass at which the young subaltern must dine in a style no moderate income meld support, the costly attire in which he most appear, almost neosesarily beget habits of ex travagance. Supposing him to be desirous of distinguishing himself in his profession, he is surrounded by those anxious only to obtain distinction by their habits of personal expenditure. The vulgar attempt, on the part of our young officers, to display their independence of their profession, leads to the exchange of their professional attire far mufti whenever they dare doff their regimentals. The same thing leads every professional subject to be carefully tabooed from the men table as shop. We are not, therefore, to be surprised that extravagant habits are not only fostered in our officers, but that, however great their personal bravery, which no one doubts, so few should arrive at any decent know ledge of their profession. That the purchasing of commissions and the eoetly life which an officer of the army must lead are responsible for the condition which we have described, is manifest from a comparison of the Army with its sister service, the Navy. The sailor pays nothing for his commission, and, though promotion is more dos to political in fluence and favour than merit, the sailor is always professional. Ile is never ashamed of his livery, and once a sailor, he makes his profession his buli mia, not his amusement. The officer who has pur ebred his grade by his thousands of pounds, who has spent more than ten time; his pay, perchance, in supporting hie artificial politico, and who eta always meet a return in money for his expenditure when he chooses to retire, feels that his profession sits vary lightly upon him. The young rusherss tared by extravagant examples to launch out far beyond his means, trust■ too frequently to the sale of his commission as the cast throw of the die, to release him from his liabilities. That many a pro misiag youth has been shipwrecked on this fatal shoal of army extravagance is among the saddest sorrows of many a parent's heart. Kr.

FRANCE AND AUSTRIA. AND =rum nizow..) PARIS, SATII/LEILT MOIL-NINO. The Moniker says that a discussion, sustained with regrettable persistence by various journals at Paris, seems to have caused an anxiety which the foreign relations of France do not justify to any ex tent. The government puts the .public on their guard uto a controversy which is of • nature to affect the relations of France with an allied Power. EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (non 001 01111 PARIS, FRIDAT ETINTNO. In order to understand aright the new phase of the Montelambert affair, it is absolutely necessary to bear in mind that the leading motive of the par don granted "on the occasion of Deo. 2" was to affront him, and not to do him a service. It was only while I was writing yesterday evening that I learned from the evening papers the feet that M. de Montalembert had lodged an appeal notwithstanding the pardon ; and I naturally hesitated to pronounce a positive opinion as to the legal consequences of that act. I, however, find to-day that the hasty impressions which I threw out are entirely con firmed by legal authority. There are not two opinions in the Barna de Justice as to the validity of the appeal, which, according to the Moniteur, " rakes questions which the competent tribunals will decide." I believe there is no precedent of an appeal made in spite of • pardon granted, bat that the appeal lies, in point of principle, if made in proper time, there can be no doubt whatever. There are in France three degrees of jurisdiction, the Tribunal of First In stance (of which the eorreetional tribunal which tried M. de Montalembert is a branch), the Imperial Court (formerly called the Royal Court, and subse quently the Court of Appeal), and the Court of Cas eation. A judgment of the Tribunal of First In stance doss not become definitive until the expiration of the legal period within which the party affected by it may either apply to the Imperial Court to have it reversed on the merits, or to the Court of Cessation to have it quashed for illegality apparent on the face of it. Until the defendant has had an op portunity of taking the opinion of both those high courts the judgment against him is only pros:sionsl ; it is not sovereign, it is not even executory. If reversed on appeal, it is void ab initio, and the defendant stands in precisely the same legal position as if he had never been accused. But • pardon is far from producing a similar result. A pardon leaves a man not only stigmatised as a criminal, but also subject to various collateral consequences flowing from the sentence. For instance, in case of his being indicted a second time for a similar offence, he would be liable to a higher scale of punishment as what is called a recidire. His social status as a man who " had been condemned" might cling to him in various other ways. The general doctrine as to the inefficacy If a pardon to relieve from the incidental conse quences of a sentence was solemnly laid down by the Court of Carnation, with the approbation of M. Dupla, then Procareur-General, in a case reported in Sirey, and the law had never since been called in question. But in the case of M. de Montalembert there is a grave, solid reason—not founded upon any refinement, technicality, or unduly susceptible appre hension of possible consequenons--whieh makes it impossible for him to accept the proffered pardon. There is not the least doubt that the Emperor's pardon would leave M. de Montalembert liable to be transported at any time hereafter, under that terrible Law of Public Safety against which M. Emile 011ivier last year protested so eloquently, but in vain—on the ground that be " had been convicted' of "an attack upon the rights which the'Rmperor derives from the constitution, and upon the principle of universal suffrage." From this fearful position a reversal of the judgment by the Court of Appeal would relieve him, because then the whole proceeding being undone, " as all had never been," it could not be averred, legally speaking, that " he had been convicted" of the offence in question. It is really wonderful that the French government should have devised a snare for their own entangle ment, and so managed as to revive a question which it was their interest and desire to bring to a short end. It is conjectured from the wording of the paragraph in yesterday's Moniteur, announcing the pardon, that it must have been written by the Emperor's own hand. It is not in the form in which such Intima tions are usually couched. Only the other day, when the pardon granted to Id. C. Brainne, of the P , was mentioned in the Ho aitelor , it was said that the Emperor had " deigned," " by decree dated," &c., to pardon, &e. This conjecture is strengthened by the consideration that if • council board--at which sit such eminent lawyers as MM. Delangle, Rambo, and Rouher—had been consulted, they would have _ . _ warned the Emperor of the false position in which he would place himself by in&oting a pardon upon M. de Montelambert before the ten days allowed by law for lodging an appeal had expired. Had he only waited till Saturday he might still have in dulged the idea to associate the pardon with Decem ber 2, and M. de Montalembert (supposing hlm not to have then appealed) would have had no power to refuse it, and scarcely any pretext he publicly pro testing againseit. At any rain he would not have had open to kim the leading mama of the Monition to accuse the Emperor publicly of attempting to ex seed his powers, and to proclaim to France that he (M. de Montalembert) is one of those who "still believes in law, and does not accept pardon." Ide not know what the government will do to ameliorate the &Soak position in which it hes placed itself. After the decided legal opisions which I have heard, I eannot believe that the law will be violently forced, and the appeal declared nna-reoeivable. The only other meek of avoiding a mooed trial would be for the Proonreur-General to enter a wells proansti on the appeal.
