ZONDON, MONDAY, PADINARY IL TO OUR READERS. A DOUBLE NUMBER of the EXPRESS will be published on SATURDAY NEXT, in order to allow of a full report of the important debate :petted to take place on the introduction into the Noose of Cotonou of the government roassore re. latire to India, Mud he Friday evening. Tar communication from the French Government, which has induced Lord P.u.stIMSTON to introduce the Bill which he will to-night submit to , the Home of Commons, will be found in another column. In this papec Count WALZWILII address. no precise or definite demand to her Majesty's Government. " Fully relying on the high sense of the English Cabinet, we refrain from indicating, in any way, the sseasnres which it may me fit to take." But Count WALCWSKI indicates with great distinct ness tie object which his Government daises to have attained by these measures. The Count meerts that " the skilful demagogue. established in England" have organised a propaganda for the preaching and practice of assassination. How many refugees are included under the designation "skilful dema gogues" is not explained, but the phrase is one capable of indefinite extension. As samples of the clue kLurtnt and LEDRO ROLLIN are named. And with regard to the denounced individuals the following questions are asked:—" Ought the right of asylum to protect such a state of things? la hospitality due to aims sins 2 Ought the English legislation to contribute to favour their designs and their plans, and can it continue to shelter persons who, by their flagrant acts, place themselves beyond the pale of common right, and under the ban of humanity !' To this despatch Lord PALMER-STON has told us no answer was re turned. An answer ought to have been returned. Count WALEWSRI ought to have been told is the plainest language that his assumption that English legislation contributes to favour the designs and plans of assassins is unfounded in fact ; that his statement regarding the ex istence in England of a numerous sect preaching and practising MOW stnation is unsupported by evidence; and that consequently the English government, although mast anxious to do everything that tine comity of nations requires at their hands, cannot gratify the implied wishes of his Majesty the Emperor of the FRENCH. Of course when Lord Pst..or.nartme said that no answer was returned to Count WaLuvreatra despatch he meant that no written answer had been returned. The nature of the verbal answer returned it would be equally difficult for the public to learn and for his lordship to prove. But his haste to introduce a Bill, modifying a part of our English penal cod*, in a manner that *hews a denim to please the Em peror of the FRENCH, clearly proves that the answer was not such as we have stsigusted—was not such se CHATHAM, HARM:IIIIM7, Of CANNING would have returned. Lard Psumaurrou's measure outrages the English sense of independent nationality, and it will not satisfy the exigencies of the French Government. It is a weak and trimming attempt to please both of two peelss who take a diametri cally opposite view of a question. It betrays its an thor's want of that sincere conviction which enables a statesman to adopt a decided policy of his own. It is characteristically defended by Lord PALMERSTON'S organs in the press, on the ground of its being a measure too limited to produce any effect. Its presentation to Parliament only shows that its author fears a foreign sovereign too mach to refuse his unreasonable request, and the English nation too much to venture to comply with it. Whether this be the kind of statesman qualified to hold the helm at so cri tical an emcr i oncy as the present, it is for the peo ple and Parliament of England to decide. Or the 28th of Aurae, 1802, Lard HAWILLAMTEIT, hi reply to an application on the part of the Fir* Cssawal, relative to Refugees, wrote; "Our Govern . ant neither have oar want any other protection "then what the laws of the coantry afford; and though thry an willing and ready to give to every foreign Goverment all the probsetWs against ofitswee of this nature whir& the principles of " their laws and constitatioa will permit, they news " can consent to sew.modia their laws, or to chance " their eaostitution, to gratify the wishes of any "y og a's p ower ." And, again : "It is net hi e " Mastro's intention to iatarlare ia tr mason it " whisk the people et territories et Filmes ehosld be 'm o nied I but he exposb, oa the other hand, that •' the French Goverment will not interfere in the " manner in wisiel the gowessiest el his dominions THZ EXPRFSS, MONDAY "is conducted, or call for a change in those ," laws with which his people are perfectly. " satisfied." Such was the language of &WWI statesmen more than half a century ago. We of the Liberal party entertain feelings with relish tie the Ministers of the Cro wn i n MI which tell far . short of idolatry ; but we Eteogniarta the word* re have now quoted the utterance of • right English spirit ; we sympathise with the sentiment expressed ea one of those which command the assent of all Englishmen, and remind them that, however divided by party, what they have in common far exceeds in value and amount their points of difference ; and we reverence the men who in the hoar of danger maid not only speak thus, but act as they spoke. If coal, then, be the estimate formed of Lord MAIVICESBORT'S manly assertion of English national independence by those who are on most subjects hostile to his policy, we cannot for a moment doubt that all Englishmen ' who still cling to the party of which he was a leader will be equally ardent in their advocacy of the po licy which he averted and acted upon. To Lord DERBY and the noblemen and gentlemen who act with him we address this appeal. This evening the House of Commons will enable the people of England to judge how far the noble sense of national dignity and independence which animated Lord HAWNESBURT and his colleagues, is inherited by thane who now till their places in our representative assembly. A Minister who has traded more than any of his predecessors or contemporaries on noisy prof scions of zeal for the national honour, will this evening call upon the House of Commons to change and new-model their laws to gratify the " wishes of a foreign power "—to submit to the call of a foreign Government "for a change in those " laws with which the people are perfectly satisfied." If the House of Commons shall prove sufficiently meen-spiritad and cowardly to comply with the request of the planet-strieken Bobadil of the Guild hall speech; and if the people of England shall tamely acquiesce in such lacquey-like conduct on the part of their Representatives, from that moment will date the humiliation of England—its subsidence from a free and first power into a secondary and dependent kingdom. , We do not see how the English Parliament can, consistently with its self-respect, enter ' twin any application from the French Govern ' meat relative to the Refugees among us after the addresses that have been allowed to appear in the illuniteur. It is true that the friends of NAPOLEON 111. are extremely busy attempting to explain away the publication of these offensive addressee, both through the press and in private converse ' tion. They vow and protest that the pub ' lioation has not been the act of the EMPEROR; they allege that he is extremely annoyed by , it ; they lay the whole blame at the door of DE Moxey, or WALEWSKI, or FOULD. It is not for 1S to penetrate into the secrets of the councils of the French Government—we can only judge of them by the results of the deliberations. Besides, we have always understood that the EMPEROR'S authority is supreme. Are we to understand that he who refuses to be checked or controlled by Representatives of the French people, is checked and controlled by the will @fess or two private individuals ? The Queen of ENGLAND might without a blush say to NAPOLEON ML, "My Imperial brother, I would gladly gratify "yea in &le matter; bat my Parlisssent will not " eciasent." Bat ems HaeoLEoN lIL say without a Mose r "My Royal sister, I would gladly abstain " hem ungentlemanly language ; but DE MORNT, " WALEWSII, and FOULD will not permit me"? We have heard of various constitutional checks upon sovereigns. The action of the monarchy of England is said to be regulated by Parliament—that of Turkey by respect for the bow-string. We now learn that the action of the monarchy of France is regulated by the incl;nations of MM. DE MOREY, WALEwSLI, and FOULD. It, too, is a limited mo narchy in its way. _ Hui even though the delatory plea could be got over, it is not easy to see how Lord PatamrroN's Bill could be entertained. Our legialatios regarding Aliens has hitherto had for its object our own in ternal security. To legislate regarding them with a view to the security of foreigners not resident among us, would bo to introduce an entirely new principle of legislation. There is no call upon us to do so. Our laws are enacted to repress crime within our own jurisdiction ; it is the business of other States to enact mush laws as are needed for the mime purpose in theirs. Our greatest lawyers tell us that the laws of England are alreadyeufficiently poweefUl to deal with that crime which Lord PALMEESTON professes to have more immediately in view. On a question of law, the authority of the Chief Justice of the Queen's Bench and his colleagues is certainly worth far more than that of Lord PALMERSTON. Now, if the law already gives power to punish a crime, all additional legislation on the subject must be mischievous. We know by sad experience how difficult it is to frame Statutes so that they shall exactly authorise what the lawgiver intends. Let se be content with an efficient law as it stands ; if we allow it to be modified or added to, something may be unwittingly added which we shall have cause to regret. W. are adjured from various quarters to argue this question temperately—without vehement or vituperative language. Ws really have felt no temp tation to do otherwise. Notwithstanding the Ad dresses in the Mosieeisr, we can advocate the rejec tion of the application of the French Government with as much urbanity se Sir Harry lradoir beats Alderman Smuggler in the play, apologising to him all the time for the disagreeable duty he has to per form. If any one wishes an example how to con duct this delicate discussion he has only to study the proceedings in the Town Council of Cambridge, when the motion for an address to the Emperor of the FRENCH was rejected. Never was • great national duty discharged with more excellent taste and temper. Lord PALMERSTON and the House of Commons may rest assured that the Town Council of Cambridge has spoken the sense of the nation. Englishmen wish to cultivate a good understanding with the French people and their ruler; but Eng lishmen can manage their own affairs without foreign interference. They will not submit to ineolenoe from the menials of • foreign prince.

(non OCR OWN CONANSTONDINI4 HAMBURG, BAro anAy. A prospectus has appeared of another loan to be raised by the Swedish government, bearing interest at 41 per cent., and of the amount of 8,190,600 dollars, to be employed in the construction of rail ways. The loan is negotiated by four German houses, and considerable purchases have been made " 641* TSo4lted to examine the new measure of " Public The Bourse has been animated, and there has been a further oonaiderable rise, in consequence of the Bank of France having reduced its discount from 6 per cent. to 4} per cent. The Rents rose 20c. for each and 15e. ter account, closing at 69.66 and 69.80. Mobilier was rather weak at the close, leaving off with a rise of only 2.60. The railway market was Arm, but without much business doing. Orleans, Lyons, and Western left off 2f. or 3f. lower; the other lines rose about 2.60. The bullion in the Bank of France has again in creased this week. The augmentation is understood to be to the amount of 16 millions. The reserve of notes has increased to the extent of 26 millions. The resources of the establishment are now so abundant that it has been resolved to give no more than 2 per cent. interest for new deposits, and to reduce the interest on existing deposes to 21. per cent. The suspension of M. James Ocher is said to have been occasioned by a delay in the receipt of a sum of money amounting to no lees than 2,600,000 f., which he is in hourly expectation of receiving from America and the Isle of Reunion. The most confident expec tation/ are entertained that he will shortly resume business. There is no truth in a report published by the In citerendance Beige that M. James Odier had com mitted suicide. A Paris letter in the Inelependance Beige gives the following explanation of the fact which has been much remarked upon, of the Queen of Spain having sent no special messenger to Paris to congratulate the Emperor and Empress on their escape on Jan. 14:—" When Queen Isabella received the news of the birth of the Imperial Prince, she without loss of time sent him the order of the Golden Fleece. Now, the Emperor has not yet sent the Grand Cordon of the Legion of Honour to the Prince of the Asturias, and it seems that the forgetfulness is expected to be repaired at Madrid before the Spanish court takes the initiative of any further civility. This incident, which by purely practical men might be thought to be of small importance, is considered quite serious by the Spanish government. I am even assured that the Duke de Rivas was on the point of demand ing his passports and leaving the a ffai rs of his lega tion in the hands of a simple chargt d'affaires." Prince Christian of Denmark arrived in Paris at 8 o'clock last evening, on a special mission from the King. Court ' ages were in waiting to receive him at the Northern Railway station. A letter from Cannes states that the King of Prussia is expected there shortly, it being hoped that the mildness of that climate may aid in restor ing his health. It is publicly announced that the Courrier de Paris has been purchased by MM. Dauriol and Cre miens. It will, I believe, no longer attempt any opposition. The idea of " liberty with the Empire, which M. E. de Girardin for a brief period attempted to sustain in that journal, is now altogether out of fashion. Orders have been sent to the commissariat esta blishments in the south of France to despatch forth with to Algeria a great number of spades, Rickaxes, wheelbarrows, and other things required in effect ing earthworks. These objects are destined for the troops who are to be employed in the execution of railways in that colony. Each soldier is to be paid 76c. a day, and inducements are to be held out to labourers in France to emigrate to Algeria to assist in the work. AFRICAN MAILS. (MON 001 011 X C CIY user= PLYMOUTH, MoenAy. The African Royal Mail Steam Shipping Com pany's steamer Ethiope, Captain Croft, arrived at Plymouth last night. Her homeward dates are : Fernando Po, Dec. 27 ; Cameroons, 28 ; Old Cala- bar, 30; Bonny, lan. 3; Accra, 9; Cape Coast, 11; Liberia, 15 ; Sierra Leone, 20 ; Bathurst, 24 ; Tene rife, 30; Madeira, Feb. 1. She brings seven pas sengers, among whom are D. A. Comm.-General O'Connor, and Lieutenant Hill, Ist West India Re giment, 3,058 ounces of gold, and a fall cargo of palm oil, ivory, camwood, arrow-root, Madeira wine, and sundries. Trade operations were dull on the coast through the state of the home money market, but the season was healthy. Her Majesty's steam-ships Heels. and Brune were at Lagos, and the Bloodhound at Bonny, with Con sul Hutchinson on board. A murder had been committed at Blobey, one of the Corisco islands. A Captain Stewart, a Btitiall trader residing [there, had been massacred by the natives, who first shot him in the groin and then cut his head off in the presence of his wife. As there was no Spanish vessel of war in the neigh bourhood application for assistance had been made by the governor to the British authorities, who were about to dispatch a man-of-war to the Owe. A Braman had also lately been murdered at Bonny by the natives. Governor Sir Benjamin Pine took a paimage in the Ethiope from Accra to Cape Coast.

FRAM:7OIM SATTIRDAY EVZNINO.—An official despatch announces that the government of Hanover at the last meeting of the representatives of the Germanic confederation proposed that the diet im mediately after having come to a decision on the a&ir of Holstein and Lanenbourg, should call upon the Danish government to abstain from promul gating any new laws or taxes until the decision of the diet shall have been complied with. The Danish ambassador has declared by a protocol that the grievances alleged by Lanenbourg are unfounded. EXPRESS FROM PARIS. In SIINILLRINI LID 'mum TILIGIAPI.) PARIS, MONDAY MO/LNINO. General &pinnace, Aide-de-Camp to the Emperor, is appointed Minister of the Interior and of Public Sdety, in the place of M. Bilknit. M. Cornuan, Prefect of the Landes, is appointed General Secre tary to the Minister, in place of M. Manoeanx. (swam ova oww coasaoroxuray.) PARIS, BuirDAy livionwo. The gentlemen at the Ministry of the Interior who so conscientiously perform their duties as cen sors of the English press, are of those who "do goad by stealth and blush to find it fame." They seise the English papers, but don't like to see their achievements recorded. I understand that the publi cation in the Daily News of the long list of seizures of Sunday papers which were effected last week and the week before, has caused very great annoy ance. It is true, that by seizing the Daily News, which chronicled the seizures, and the journals which copied its announcement, it may have been passible to prevent the knowledge of the fact from being generally diffused in France. Bet then, un fortunately, the Daily News is read in Belgium, Germany, Switzerland, and Spain, in all which countries such a thing as the confiscation of an English journal is never heard of. It is, therefore, extremely disagreeable to the French authorities, while they have been representing through their own press, and by means of garbled quotations, that except the " eternal enemies of order," Scc., all the English journals support the French government on the refugee question—it should be made known on every frontier of France that the English journals of all shades of politics, and of no politics at all— tory, whig, radical, economical, courtly, and face ticms—had written remarks which the French go vernment were afraid to let the French people read. An extraordinary and ludicrously impotent attempt has, therefore, been made to prevent the fact of the seizures of English journals from being stated in print. Hitherto the first question put by every En glish subscriber on entering a reading-room was, " What journals are seized to-day P" People said this as naturally as they would say to a waiter at a tavern, "What is there for dinner to-day?" The question naturally preceded the request to be sup plied with any particular paper, for it is obviously useless to ask for a thing which is not in the larder. You will scarcely credit the assertion, bat I enure you it is true, that the police have ordered the attendants at the reading rooms not to say what journals are seized, and of course not to mention that they have been told not to say so. The working of this rule is very drolL It makes people well known for their civility appear rude. To the common question, " What journals are seized ?" the answer was to-day, " Sir, I don't know." "Is the Post in ?" " Yes, sir." " Well, but you must know whether you have received all your papers P" "Sir, I really cannot tell you. You must look upon the table and find what you want." I looked upon the table this afternoon, and looked in vain, for the Daily News, Express, Sun, Examiner, Spectator, Leader, Saturday Review, John Bull, Bell's Lffe in London, and Punch. If I were to say that all these journals were seized, and it should turn out that any one of them had simply been lost in the post-office, the French government, which does its utmost to prevent the truth from being known, would assuredly prosecute the Daily News for " false news" if (which thank God it cannot) it could get it within its jurisdiction, and it is disagree.. ably far from clear that your correspondent while endeavouring to state the truth on this or any other subject, may not render himself obnoxious to the new law against " any individual who keeps up intelligence with foreign countries with a view to bring the Emperor's government into hatred and contempt !" I have heard that M. Billault, the late Minister of the Interior, had nearly brought himself to the sensible opinion that seizing English journals was a proceeding which merely served to bring odium upon the French government and was worse than useless as a police measure. But " vested interests " are engaged. The reading and translation of English journals has come to con stitute a department in the state, and if the censorship were done away with it would be difficult to know what to do with the employes. " Thus bad begins and worse remise behind." There have been moms:lts when the absurd passport system would have been done away with had it not been for the numerous functionaries who live by it. The men composing the guard of Lancers which escorted the Emperor to the Opera on the fatal evening of January 14, were this afternoon paraded in the court of the Tuileries. They dismounted and were received by the Emperor in his apartments, where his Majesty personally distributed rewards to them. The charming Greek villa of the late Princess Begration, in the Faubourg St. Honore, was yester day sold for 742,000 fr. to a M. Castaignet, who is understood to be the agent of the Russian ambas sador. The Atrenir of Antwerp states that several of the clerks of the Custom-house at Ostend are to be exa mined as witnesses in the affair of the 14th. It Row appears to be proved that the bombe were introduced by Ostend; they weighed 2 kilogrammes 4 hecto grammei each, and it is said that an import daty of 2fr. and some centimes was paid on them. PARIS, SATURDAY Etl Although the news is not yet official, I am enabled to announce that M. Billault has resigned the oftlos of Minister of the Interior. The resignation has been accepted, and M. Rouland, the Minister of Public Instruction and Worship, will perform the duties of the ace ad interim until a dedeitire sucoeswor to Y. Blllealt shall be selected. Count do Moray has boa sleeted president and mortar of the Coaumittse at th• Corps lagialatif "THE FRENCH DESPATCH RESPECTING FOREIGN REFUGEES. This morning wu issued, in the form of a return to parliament, the destch respecting foreign refugees, addressed by Count Walewski to Count Persigny, and communicate d to the Earl of Claren don by Count Peraigny on the 21st of last month. The following is the official translation : Park, Jan. 20. M. le Comte,—The legal proceeding which bas been 60;1- mm:iced in regard to the criminal attempt recently made on the person of the Emperor is taking its course, and we shall shortly ascertain its definitive result; but there is a point upon which even now we cannot entertain any doubt. This fresh attempt, Wm those which preocded It, has been devised in England. It wan in England that Pianori formed the plan of striking the Emperor , It was from Loud= that, in an affair the re collection of which is still recent, liarrini, Ledru-Rollln, and Campanella, directed the 11111111811illA whom they had fur nished with arms. It is there, alao, that the authors of the last plot hare laintrely prepared their means of action, have studied and constructed the Instruments of destruction which they have employed, and it is front thence that they set out to any their plans into execution. Ia recording these circumstanoes, I at once add how much the government of the Emperor is persuaded of the sincerity of the sentiments of reprobation which they created in Eng land. It is equally convinced, that with such proofs in their possession of the abase of hospitality, the English go verzunent and people understand at onus to what extent we are justilled in directing our attention to them. No one appreciate. and respects more than we do the liberality with which England is disposed to exercise the right of asylum in regard to foreigners, victims of political struggles. France, for her part, has always looked upon it as a duty of humanity never to close her fronds, to any ho nourable person in misfortune, whatever might be the party to which he belonged ; end his Majesty'. go does not complain that its opponent. should And refuge on the English soft, and live there In peace, remaining faithful to their opinions, to their very puatons, under the protection of the British laws. But, X. le Oosnis, howdifferent is the attitude of the skilful demagogues established in England. It is no longer the hostility of misguided individuals, manifesting itself by all the excesses of the press and all the violence. of language ; it is no longer even the work of the factious, seeking to rouse opinion end to provoke disorder; It Is assassinsjion, elevated to doctrine, preached openly, practised in repeated attempts, the most recent of which has just strack Europe with amaze ment. Ought, then, the right of asylum to protect such a state of things P Is hospitality due to seeming ? Ought the English legislation to contribute to favour their designs and their plans, and can it o*tinue to shelter persons who, by their flagrant seta, plaoe themselves beyond the pale of com mon right and under the ban of humanity ? In submitting these question. to her Britannic Majesty. government, the government of the Emperor does not merely discharge a duty towards itself, it re-echoes the sentiment of the country, which, under the laminae of the most legitimate anxiety, calls upon it to do so , and which, in a matter where the common interest among all nations and all government. is so clear, madden itself entitled to reckon upon the con currence of England. The repetition and the wickedness of these guilty enterprise. expose France to a danger against which we are bound to provide. Her Britannic Majesty's government can mist us in avert ing It by affording us a guarantee of security which no Mate can refuse to a neighbouring state, and which we are autho rised to expect from an ally. Fully relying, moreover, on the high sense of the English cabinet, we refrain from indi cating, in any way, the measures which it may see fit to take in order to comply with this wish. We rest entirely upon it for estimating the decisions which it shall deem best calcu lated to attain the object; and we are firmly persuaded that we shall not have appealed In vain to Its conscience and to its You will have the goodaras to reed this despatch to Lord Clarendon, and to leave with him a oopy of it. Reoeive, dc., (Signed) A. WALISWBIII The Post believes that:" the cabinet is now in posses don of another despatch, upraising the regret of the French government at the publication in the Moniker of some of the late addl....es from the army •," and adds that the public will no doubt be surprised to learn that ale of the principal. in the late mime Is an Englishman. EXECUTION OF CHRISTIAN SATTLER. (THIS DAY.) Christian Battler, the Bavarian, who was con victed at the January session of the murder of Charles Their, the detective (Aker, en board the Caledonia steam ship, was monied this morning at Nawsate. - . . Our readers are aware that tie prisoner, after having com mitted a robbery in, this country, fled to Hamburg, and by an arrangement with the Hamburg polite wan induced to go on hosed the Caledonia, where Thad took him into cus tody and hendadied him, and on the way home he contrived to load a pistol and shoot the am. The prisoner declared from the come cement that he was inveigled on board the vessel, and there appears to be very little doubt that Theirs would have had no authority to take him at Hamburg ; end se the dime he was charged with wee only petty larceny, he considered that he had been harshly and illegally dealt with, and this led to the commimion of the offence. Since hie conviction the prisoner's conduct has been most exemplary, end he appeared to feel a sinoere regret for hie (rime. He also paid the greatest attention to the exhor tations of the Bev. Mr. Davis, the ordinary of the prison, and appeared to be Imbued with sincere religious notions; at his earnest request on Sunday the holy sacrament was administered to him. He was informed on Saturday that no hope remained for him, and he appeared quite resigned. In the course of the day he wrote a letter to . his father, and by this morning's poet he received one from kis parent acknowledging the receipt of some hooka and other trifling article, ' and uprooting his regret that, on account of his age, over seventy, he was unable to visit his son before he left this world. The prisoner, it appeared, served for a considerable time in the French army in Algeria, end he afterwards belonged to the German Legion. He never stated the reason that canoed him to leave the French army, but there is too much meson to believe that for a considerable time be had taken to dishonest courses, and that he had committed essay robberies in addition to the one which led to his untimely sod. Mr. Aldermea Lawrence and Mr. Allen, the sherifh, end Mr. Millard and Mr. Parker, the andmeheriffe, arrived at the prison about half-peat seven o'clock, and sour afterwards they proceeded to the prisoner's cell, accompanied by Mr. Weatherbeed, the governor, and Mr. Matthews, the bed turakey. The prisoner the moment they entered shoot Undo with them, end expressed his gratitude dor the kindness he had nudged from than. lie then mid that he Mt quite d eigned, and he believed that he bad made his peace with d signed, ▪ added that since he had been shut out hem the world Ida heart hod become in the same state an when he wee young, and that he deeply repented of all the sins he had committed, and hoped he should be saved. He then banded to Mr. Parker en Italian Bible, on the front leaf of which was written the following words "Presented to me by the honoured lir. Parker, Shield the City of London. Ca.
