Loud Mis lESBUILY and Mr. DIMRA ELI ere obviously prepared to follow se nearly as possible in she track of their predecessor's. Wherever nsimerviency to Continental despotism has not been speniCcally de nounced and interdicted by the House of Commons, the new Foreign Secretary is ready to adopt the maseures aid the maxims of the obi one. Mr. Dmasaat is prepared to exonerate Lord P ALl•ai- ROM from all reproach, and in his turn Lord PAL- M =Mole seems ready to affect the part of carrying on by deputy the system which he has ceased osten sibly to guide. Both se= of gentlemen above the gangway are committed irredeemably to the general principle of a Conspiracy Bill, although under exist ing eircemstances its consideration is adjourned until the pending procesditigs in ear courts of law shall have been brought to a termination. Both the prevent and the ex-Ministers are pledged to the !maintenance of an entente cordials! with Austria, which by no remit& se doubtful impli cation signifies the absodonmeat of Italy and of Roumania to their fate. Both Derbyites and Pal merstonians have in the eese of the Cagliari declared their supercilious disregard of the known will and purpose of the people of this country to rescue two humble but honest fellow-citizens from the lawless grasp of Neapolitan tyranny, and to exact exem plary satisfaction for their wirings. We pease not here to,argue about the policy, the justice, or the decency of them public mincidenese in foreign poliey between the late tenants of Dowsing -street and its present occupants. Our present heftiness is simply with the facts as they stand, and with the consider ations they suggest regarding men and things, existing circumstances!, and possible matiagenciee. So long as the late Cabinet retained any claim to be the legitimate leaders of the Liberal Party, and so long as any semblance of antagooism wee kept up upon intelligible grounds of policy be tween them and the adherents of Lord DERBY, simple-minded men who merely took things es they found them, and asked no questions for Con science sake, deemed it to be their duty, as plain sail ing party men, to support Lord PALM ZISTON. Bat party combinations, and party ties, seam to be altoge ther dissolved. It is shuffling time, and the old /UHF biers are about to cut for new partners. While they are so engaged a large proportion of the home of Commons stands mute and irresolute. Mee are grown ashamed of the tarnished livery they have hitherto worn, and a common de sire begins to be felt on all sides to break up the sordid and paltering system of mere personal com binations, personal interests, and perennal factions. Slowly but steadily, meantime, there is greying up in the heart of a nation that earnest longing "rhiek is certain to become a resolve and a command, for the creation of a truly popular party; a party that THE EXPREEIS, MONDAY EVENING, MARCH 15, 1858. shall be gerainely Liberal in the comprehensii'inees of its Dotal' and the directness of its views ; a party that stall be truly national in the slemehts of which it is composed, and in the spirit by which it is animated, both as regards foreign and dome,- tar policy. A painful consciousness has slowly crept into the mind of the country that, what with personal cabala and courtly influ ence, secret diplomacy and parliamentary jobbing, the position which England once filled in Europe as the inexorable arbiter between Oppression and its victims, and between Absolutism and Liberty, has been unworthily and unwisely abandoned, in the vain attempt to form anti-national Alliances with the retrograde Governments of the Continent. It is time that an end should be pot to such a state of things. It is time that England's proud and fearless tone of fidelity to freedom, whatever shape it wears, and of loyalty to law, however hateful its maintenance may have become in the eyes of foreign despotism, should be rs-asserted. Backsliding on the part of cue particular clique, sad political poltroonery on the part of another, can only create momentary disgust or disappointment, but cannot turn aside the, nation kem its purpose.

LATEI3V - ' IN TALLIGENCE 'THE BOMBAY MAIL FRANCE AND THE REFUGEE QUESTION. •• Vienna letter of the Bth, in the &arse Glasstte of Berlin, says :—" We learn from good authority that the French cabinet is preparing a memorandum to persuade all the powers which signed the treaty of Paris of the necessity of taking measures, at the next Conference of Paris, relative to pol itical refu gees. Baron de Hubner had already made known to the Austrian cabinet those intentions of the French government, and Baron de Boarqueney yesterday communicated to Count Boot the principal points of the memorandum, and sonidentiaLy asked for the opinion of the Austrian government on the subject. Coant Baca is said to have replied that he would make them known when the memorandum arrived, and to have observed that the meeting of the Conference was ss yet too distant for it to be secesaary to point out the sub jects with which it would occupy itself ; that more over those subjects had been determined by the Congress of Paris, and that the Conference would only have to definitively arrange the affairs of the Danubian Principalities, and to examine into the labours of the Commission of the ltiverain States of the Danube." THE ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION OF THE EMPEROR OF THE FRENCH. EXECUTION OF ORSINI AND PIERI AT PARIS. (From the Nemirow of Beturday.) The execution. of Giuseppe Andrea Pieri and of Felice Orsini, condemned to the punishment of par ricides by the degree of the Court of Anises of the Seine on the 26th of February last, took plaoe this morning et seven o'clock on tae Place de la Roquette. The oontlemned, informed at half-past five that their appeal had been rejected, were assisted in their last moments by Messrs. the Almoner Hagon and Nottelet. This final expiation was accomplished in the presence of a considerable crowd, evidently im pressed with the remembrance of the criminal attempt on the 14th of January. The sentence of death passed upon Carlo di Radio has been commuted into that of hard labour for life. (710 K 001 OWN /IWO PARIS, 8•11:11.DAT EVENING. Orsini and Pieri were executed this morning. The Emperor has thought fit to reprieve Di Radio, whose sentence will doubtless be commuted into that of im prisonment, with bard labour, for life. He will, it is believed, be sent to England in custody, to give evi deuce against Dr. Bernard. Probably no execution in Paris ever attracted so many would-be spectators as that of the regi cides of the Rue Lepelletier, and yet the number of actual witnesses was fewer ;lan usual. Generally, the secret of the day of an execution is so well kept that few learn it except those who live in the imme diate neighbourhood of the spot where the scaffold is erected. But on this occasion it was universally known that the sentence was to be carried into effect immediately after the rejection of the appeal by the Court of Caseation. The fete of the ifi eareme (for reasons alluded to in a former letter) gave an intervening day, and the rejection of the ap peal thus becoming public in Paris yesterday, it was not doubted by any one last night that the execution would take place this morning. The con sequence was that all night long there was unusual animation in Paris. Thousands went towards the Place de la Roquette even before midnight, hoping that by long patience they might occupy a position from which something at least of the terrible drama could be seen. Others, who, though curious, were not prepared to sacrifice • whole night's rest for what every one knew to be a most doubtful chance, rose at one, two, three, and four o'clock, and thus at all hours of the night parties might be seen in almost every street hurrying towards the scene of action. I myself crossed the Rue Itivoli at four in the morn ing, and then the heavy measured tread of a batta lion of infantry, passing along in marching order at that dead hour of darkness, - left no doubt whatever thct the bloody business was about to come off. But such extraordinary precautions were taken to prevent the possibility of any disorder (not to say f meiste, of which, however, there were apprehensions) that only an infinitesimal fraction of the vast numbers that had turned out could see so much as a square inch of a single beam of the guillotine. The present place of public execution in Paris, which a few years ago was substituted for the old one at the Barrier. St. Jacques, is situated in front of the principal gate of the Prison de la Roquette. The larger prison, des James Detenue, is exactly opposite, on the other side of the Rue de la Roquette. The space called the Place de la Roquette, planted with young trees, is not larger than a slip of waste land by a roadside, so inconsiderable that an English court would hold it to belong to the sdjoining free hold and not to the lord of the manner. Unless you are admitted to this small open "place"—and none but the military and police are allowed to be there—the only place oat of doors from which a good view of the scaffold can be had is from the Rue de la Roquette, at the corner of the Rue St. Maur, or from the upper end of the Rue de la Roquette, inside the barrier of Aulney, which is exactly opposite the entrance to Pere la Chaise. There are a very few houses in the Rue de la Roquette itself from which the scaffold might be seen. It is said that the present locality was selected originally in consequence of the stirring pictures of executions drawn by Eugene Sue and Jules Janin, and with the express view of battling public curiosity. If this be so, few spots could have been better chosen for the purpose. Although the Place de la Roquette is commanded on many . sides by high ground, the angles of the two prisons prevent the fatal portals from being seen from any of the neighbouring streets. There are some enclosed gardens near the prison of the Jeunes Detenue, from which, if it were desired to encourage &public exhibition,good views might be obtained; but these are private property; and on this occasion sentries were placed to prevent the public. from breaking into them. There were, however, to-day, reasons (what they may have been pre cisely I can only conjecture), beyond the laudable desire to prevent the last dread retribution of human law from being made an occasion for indecent revelry and an indulgence of prurient curiosity, which induced the authorities to keep the public at arm's length. An unusual number of troops were brought upon the ground. The early spectators who, in spite, perhaps, of remonstranoes on the part of policemen, had taken up their positions in plaCes oonaidered to be public, commanding a view of the guillotine, were remorse lessly driven away by the military. In some few instances, people arriving at the last moment con trived to occupy privileged spots from which others who had painfully held them for hours had been ousted. From four in the morning military occupa tion was taken of the streets leading into the Rue de la Roquette, and it was impossible to approach within a quarter of a mi e of the prison. But this is not all. The private houses opposite the prison were entered by the police, and all the people who had paid for seats in the windows were turned out. This fact is reported to me by persons who had paid 25 francs for a place. A seller of /minor/el/es, named Philips, living at No. 186, Rue de la Roquette, had let his frontage for 300 francs. AU the occupants were turned out shortly before the execution. These extraordinary measures lead to the belief, and indeed it is difficult to imagine any other ground which could justify them, that the government feared that Orsini-shells might be thrown from the windows at the troops surrounding the scaffold. It is certain that an attempt to break open the prison and rescue the prisoners had been apprehended for some time. I hear it said, but do not guarantee the fact, that the insurrectionary assemblage in Paris on the night of the 4th and sth, which the MoisiUur alluded to without mentioning the locus in quo, was connected with an attempt of this kind. It is impossible to say with any approach to accuracy what may have been the number of persons who attempted to see the execu tion. I have heard it estimated at from 100,000 to 200,000. For myself I can form no idea except that, judging from the crowds I saw converging to. wards the prison, the numbers must have been un preoedently large. Bat the military dispositions were so well taken that the crowd was cut into megrim and hemmed in in particular streets, from which no one could emerge to gain another spot in the neighbourhood of the central point of attraction without making a very large circuit In the Rues Bt. Maur, JPopinoourt, La Muette, Les Amending de Popinconrt, the street inside the walls of Paris, and the Boulevards outside, crowds were seen for hours before dawn hurrying backwards and for wards, in the vain hope of finding a better I position. After this long introduction, which, however con tains an epitome of all that was really seen by the general public, who " went to see the execution," the description of the catastrophe itself is short and matter of fact. What may have passed within the prison walls I cannot tell, but at a quarter to seven o'clock the front door of the Pequette was thrown open. A little while afterward', and as nearly as possible as the clock struck seven, two figures of men in white shirts, with long black veils on their heads, and barefooted (according to the letter of the sentence on perricides), were seen walking towards the guillotine. Two priests and several other men (the executioner and his assistants) were by their sides. The men walked without support. One (Orsini, I believe) stooped his head a little. The distance from the door of the prison to the foot of the scaffold was not more than 30 yards. The two prisoners began to mount the steps almost together, but Pieri arrived first on the platform. He was instantly strapped t o the fatal plank, the black veil being pulled off at the same moment, and in an incredible short space of time his head was off. Orsini, while the knife was descending upon his accomplice, was suddenly laid hold of by two assistants, and from motives of huma nity turned round so that he might not see the working of the instrument which, a minute later, was to send him into tb , new world. His own few was immediately afterwards accomplished with equal rapidity. It was not, as lam told, more than four minutes from the time that the condemned ap. =at the prison gate before all was over. The were at once placed in a closed van and con. ducted by an escort of gendarmes right through the heart of Paris to the MontParnasse Cemetery, where they werebiuied in that special place for criminals called Clamart, and which is often wrongfully confounded by readers of Jules Janin's " L'Ane )torte et la Femme Guillotines," with the beautiful village of Clamart, near Meudon. I should have mentioned that the great, the only, prominent feature which struck the spectators was that there were but two men instead of three. Rudio was reprieved. Both Pierri and Orsini died with great firmness. I believe it to be certain. from much testimony which I have sifted, that Pierri, while walking to the scaffold, sang the song of the Girondins, " Monrir pour la Patrie," and that Orsini cried "Vive la Republique, Vive la France, Vive l'ltalie." • Orsini, on being asked what he would like for his breakfast, chose an omelet au lard (an omelet with bacon), and said gaily, " Si on me coupe le con, j'aurai en moles gras an corps." The system pursued on the trial, of prohibiting all reports except those censured by the authorities, is applted to the execution. The journals of this even ing are allowed to publish notlungbut the following " The execution of Orsini and Pierri took place this morning at 7 o'clock, on the Place de la Roquette. The sentence of death passed on de Radio hu t by the clemency of the Emperor, been commuted into hard labour for life." PARIS, SUNDAY EVENING. The only accounts of the execution allowed to be published in France are those contained in the Ga zette des 7 ribuyeaux and the Droit. I subjoin the greater part of their tratements, omitting only de tails of course which I sufficiently described yes terday. The Gazette des Tribuau.r says : . . . tt_ During their stay in the Roquette prison, to which they were removed after the rejection of their appeal by the Court I of Caseation, Orsini and Pierri maintained the same attitude which they had exhibited at the trial. Orsini was always self-possessed and calm ; be spoke but little, and appeared almost always plunged in deep meditation. On tie rare co. orations on which he conversed, he said when speaking of hie trial, that he had no complaint to make against French justice, and that ell the judges and magistrates concerned in the case had honourably done their duty, He listened with respectful deference to the exhortations of Abbe Hugon, the prison chaplain. He ate but one meal a day, and the only favour he asked was that his ration of wine might be aug mented. Pierl4 was In a state of continual excitement ; he talked and gesticulated incessantly, disputing with the keepers about everything, and even trying to find matter for controversy in what was said to him by the chaplain. • • Yesterday evening a judge of instruction, and a substitute of the Imperial Procureur, went to the prison to be in nu& new to take down any declarations which the prisoners might he desirous of =king. At six in the morning the governor of the prison and Abbe Hugon went to Oraini's cell, and announced to him that the fatal moment bad arrived. Or sini merely replied that he was ready. The governor, ao companied by the Abbe Nottelet, the chaplain to the Conciergerie, then went to the adjoining oell, that occupied by Pierri, and told him that he must prepare to die. At this news Picini became ex tremely agitated, and with an air of forced assurance he asked for his breakfast, and a cup of ooffee with some runt. While eating the food which was supplied to him, he was IS a state of feverish agitation, indicated by his voice and gestures. After taking his coffee and rum, he salted with much importunity, and even anger, for more rum, or at least for some wine. He constantly interrupted the Abbe Nottelet. Orsini, who refused to take any food, asked for a glass of rum, and begged to drink to the health and happiness of the governor. The two prisoners were then conducted to the chapel, where they remained for a short time, °mini, who had cordwood to the Abbe Hagan the evening before, knelt down devoutly. Nerd also knelt down, and this was the only moment at which he was calm and silent. They were soon afterwezde taken to a room adjoining tbegrefe,where they were handed over to the Paris executioner, who was misted by the exe. cutioner of Rouen. During the final preparations, Orsini remained unmoved. He said a word to Pierri fn Italian, begging him to be calm. Pierri became more and more ex cited, talking and gesticulating wildly, as if trying to keep up his failing courage. The funeral cortege was soon la motion ; the prisoners, with bare feet, clothed in long white shirts and black veils over their heads, were marched out of the prison. Pierri came first, attended by the Abbe Notteht and the executioner of Paris. Orsini followed, with the Abbe Hove and the executioner of Rouen. {On entering the court• yard of the prison, Pierri,whose features were convulsively con. Marta, sad whom feverish excitement increased, attempted to sing the song of the Girondins, and continued to sing with broken secede to the foot of the scaffold. The prisoners mounted the stem, and as soon as they reached the platform they remained exposed to the gaze of the spectators for a few moments, while a hui,sier read the sentence upon them The executioners then seized Pierri, who attempted to re• sums his song. and whose voice only died away under the knife. Orient, who till then had remained silent, cried Vire r zea. " Vive la Femme I " and then resigned himself to the executioners.

He received the news of this act of imperial clemency with the warmest expressions of gratitude. The Droit girea substantially the same account. I subjoin the few interesting details which are not to be found in the former journal: The Abbe Hugon went to Orsini's 01l on Friday, end without telling him that the Court of Causation had rejected his appeal, asked whether, in the position in which he wee, he did not desire to receive the consolations of nits 'ion and to reconcile his soul to God. Orsini calmly se espied this propose', sad at once confessed to the Alibi. • • • On the fatal news being communicated to Pier', was greatly excited, and muttered threats, but on the rope @catenate of the evernor and the chaplains he became calmer and promised not to my or do anything violent, only be said he would sing a hymn to his country. • • • • After what is called the toilette Pierri said to Orsini, " old fellow F' The latter merely replied, "Be calm—be calm."

On his way to the scaffold Pierri said to the Abbi Nottelet, who offered his arm to support him, " Never fear, lam not afraid. lam going to Calvary." He began to sing the song of the Girondins, "Mourir pour la Petrie " he left the prison, and continued humming it on the snick]. Orsini, who till the lee moment was silent, cried, " The Finale!

A few weeks since accounts were received in this country that several foreigners had been sent out of the island of Madagascar, and that a number of native Christians had been put to death. It appears by intelligence just received that the Christians were not the only sufferers, bat that numbers of the heathen suffered also; nor did the Christians suffer on account of their Christianity, but rather because, in common with others, they had unhappily become in some way implicated in political movements affecting the existing government of the country. It is stated that Rudio is to be sent to London to give evidence against Barnard. Ferukh Mien, the Persian envoy, ham returned to Paris, after having made a six weeks' excursion in Italy and Germany. Except in the Sardinian State., where he had been invited ofecially and where be received, both from the Government and from private individuals, the warmest welcome, the Persian ambassador preserved a strict incognito.

THE MINT AND NAVY CLUB AND THE EMPEROR NAPOLZOL—The Moniker of flatunlay says —" We record with pleasure a fact which shows the honourable sentiments by which the officers are animated in England who stood side by side with oar own officers in the Crimean war. The committee of the Army and Navy Club in London, being informed that somebody had sent to officers of the French army a caricature, beneath which were printed some offen sive words, with a pretended nassesge from the club, has offered a reward of 601. to any one who will make known the author of this deed, thus showing how indignant the mem bers of the club wore at the perpetration clench an unworthy insult." THE SECRET OF THE AMERICAN HORSE TAMER. —The Buffalo Advertiser intimates that it is cognisant of the peculiar secret possessed by Mr. Rarey, the celebrated bone-tamer now in England, and employed so successfully by him in sobjugating the most vicious and unruly of the equine In es. sp The chief secret, according to the Advertiser, consists " raising one of the fore feet of the born, doubling the knee, and keeping a strap around the fetkock,fastening the foot close to the arm or shoulder. The horse then stands upon three legs. Having next put on a aurcingle, peas a long strap or rein through the surcingle, and fastening one end of it around the fetlock of the other fore foot, attach the other to the sun:tingle after the ainmal is thrown, so closely as to deprive it of the use of the limb. In this item the treat ment may be varied by fastening the second fetlock to the arm or shoulder after the animal is down." This plan, says the Adoertiaer, is successfully purrued by many skiHW horse-brisker in Western New York, end the horse yields to lb. necessities of the one—his spirit of opposition is broken. KEEP COOL.—With the first regular set-to in the House of Representatives upon the Lecompton constitution a miscellaneous scrimmage of the border ruffian order took place on the floor and this was rapidly followed up by a most alarming s chedule of bar-room quarrels, challenges, duels, and rumoured duels in embryo. But with the ar mistice which followed upon Kansas, law and °echr were happily restored in the federal city. Now, how ever, Leoompton is up again, and we wo uld ac cordingly admonish all parties concerned, who are liable to violent excitements upon the nigger question, or con cerning John Calhoun, Jack Henderson, or Oeo. Jim Lane, to keep cool. Avoid as much as possible all belligerent pereonalities, and retrench, as much es possible, in the drink ing of the detestable brandy and execrable whiskey with which the bar rooms end rum holes of Panisylvaida avenue are said to abound. It le es dangerous In Wsehington as in Leoompton to mix up too much alcohol with this Kansas medicine of "poppies sovereignty." It hievitably leads to combustion, explosions, pugilistic*, and civil war. Fellow citizens of the Senate end House of Representatives, keep cool.—New Perk Herald, March 6. Mr. deo. W. Kendall, of the New Orleans Ammons, writes from his sheep meat In Texas:—" I have pasturage fee 20,000 sheep and any number of hones and wattle, and to see all this space covered Is now whet I am amain for.

I think that the depositions will be brought to an end to-morrow. Then will commence the exa mination of the witnesses for the crown and the W aned—then the Attorney-General will have to ex plain the conclusions to which he has come, and atherwarda the counsel for the defence will have to speak. So that a good month's work is yet before us, wed Park and Watt,. two British subjects, will have been imprisoned for nearly a year. Watt is still in hospital, and. nays his medical attendant, gets worse rather than better. Almost all the sick prisoners are Neapolitans.

I believe I reported that they had seen no doctor for eight days ; it is now just is say that he visits them constantly, is a , humans man, and does what he can. I Golipstoi of the 6th March gives an extract from the Herald to the effect that the new ministry were going to direct their attention to the ease of the English angineere at Naples, and that as no means of communioation existed at present with the Neapolitan gonertunent, a person of approved die /reties would be sent to watch the trial and Rap port the Intervale of our eountrynien. It is oonso- Wary to know that ministers will not neglect what is a national affair, bat the Herald is in error when it states that no mesas of communication exist with this government. Mr. Acting-Consul Barber, as fact, has been in constant comsuinication with it, and as to the interests of oar countrymen in Naples, there is not an Englishmen here who will deny Mr. Barber the merit of having acted with more intel ligence, spirit, and perseverance than has long been displayed in Naples. That any pease, therefore, should be sent over at the eleventh hour when everythieg has been done that can be dove is an in justice to Mr. Barber, and affords but little en couragement to officials when they know that after working diligently others will reap the fruits.
