It is simple justice to Cardinal Armin:us to remark that his exceptional qualities US MOO of bnainess shine throughout these transactions. The point on which his EMINLNCE always particularly insisted was • sufficient guaranteed security for the perpetual payment of the civil list and the pensions of the Cardinals. And it was to be expressly stipulated by a clause in the Convention that, on the failure of the Italian Government to fulfil its obligations according to the terms of the contract, the patrimony of St. Peter should revert in full sovereignty to the Pors.

NAPLES. Letters from Naples describe some violent scenes which have just taken place between the student' and a section of the populace. One of the Lent preachers, Giuseppe Cocozza by name, was holding forth in the church of San Severino to a crowded congregation, packed with Camoristi, bigoted women, and a few of the students of the university. The preacher, after dwelling in indignant terms on the great subjects of the day, inveighed against the pro fessors and students of the university, calling them atheists and irreligious, and advising the people to riseagainst such persons,anddrivethem from the city. He concluded by saying, " Don't send your children to the government schools to ruin them with pro testantism. Wait for the angel St. Michael, who will come from Rome with his exterminating sword." The students present gave signs of their resentment, and an impression got abroad that the priest would be illtreated—an impression which, it appears, was industriously and maliciously circu lated. Ontheir leaving, therefore, they were followed to the university by a crowd of ignorant zealots, and all who were in the university were made the ob jects of an indiscriminate attack by the excited multitude, and revolvers were tired, and stones, the great arms of the Neapolitan populace, were hurled with effect. A body of the National Guard, L however, were immediately on the ground, and order was restored, after three or four of the students had been wounded either with pistol shots or stones. The preacher Cocozza has been arrested, as have also two other priests, and a process° is being in stituted against them on the ground of their in citing the people to disorder. For the future, also, two guards are to be present in every church where the Lent services are going on, with orders to arrest any priest who should venture on forbidden Their Royal Highnesses the Duchess of Cam bridge and the Princess Mary honoured the Duke and Duchess of Sutherland by their company at dinner on Thursday, at Stafford House, St. James's.

[CE. THE STUDENTS AND THE PRIESTS. -fusions. - At this point of the negotiations an obstacle interposed, which the CARDINAL Sseasuar was at his wit's end to get rid of ; and this was the resi dence of FRANCIS 11. at Rome. How to dispose of this royal refugee occupied the anxious thoughts of the Caw:mos. while be was feeling his way in the Sacred College for the reception of the Italian proposals. Well ;it was not Cardinal ANTONRLLI, nor the Sacred College, nor the Ita lian Government, that brought these negotiations, which might have reconciled the Papacy with Italy, and given peace and confidence to Europe and the Church, to a sudden and violent end. It was the French Ambassador at Rome, acting upon in structions from Paris. One morning M. as Gaawowr took occasion to ask the Cardinal Awrowsiat whether it was true that the Court of Rome was engaged in coufi dential negotiations with the Cabinet of Turin with out the privity or consent of the protecting Power, which had certainly the right to be consulted first. To this abrupt and angry demand Cardinal As rosi.u.i replied after the manner of Sr. Pima himself, by flatly denying that he knew anything at all about the negotiations to which the French Ambassador referred. And so the hopes of a set tlement of the Roman question were struck down by a word from the French Ambassador ; and from that day to this it is the French Govern ment that is alone responsible for the Roman question. If it be true that the French Government, for tified by the addresses of the Senate and the Corps Ligialatif, is about to renew its importunities at the Court of Rome, will the fact that Cardinal ANTOMILLI was ready to negotiate a twelvemonth since facilitate conclusions now, supposing always —and it is a very large supposition—that the Em peror of the FRENCH knows his own mind I The 800, FATHER is sick, and his protector is waiting on Providence. It was doubtless out of pure respect to Providence that the EMPEROR would not allow the CARDINAL SECRETARY to COMO to terms with Count Csvoua lark year. AMERICA. subjects. The Nord correspondent observes : " The priestly tumult of the 15th, which has no real importance, shows once more the moral progress of the Neapolitan populace. On the sth of Sep tember, 1848, disorders, having a similar origin, broke out ; the populace of the whole city took part in them, and the three days' triumph of that immense orgy of the priests was the prelude to the fall of constitutional institutions. On the 15th of March, 1882, all the money of the reaction, all the appeals of heati cism, failed to do more than excite about a hundred persons, who were dispersed by the National Guard without any loss of life, to raise the old cry s Vim Dieu ! Vice la Pape ! A bas less heretiques!'" The correspondent of the Matz says:—" This reactMnaryrow is a new proof of the powerlessness of the clerical Bourbonist party. They can, perhaps, boast of a few fanatics, but the immense mass of the populace, even the most ignorant, keep altogether aloof from the movement. The middle classes, the workmen, the National Guard, the educated classes, show themselves ready unanimously to remit any fanatical attempt ; and this attitude is the more remarkable that the government has hitherto in no way interfered for the repression of these temporary disorders." The Duke of Cleveland and Lady Augusta Youlett are expected to arrive in town at the close of the awning month from Baby Castle, Dutton. The Marquis and Marchioness of Ailesbnry are expected N the Countess of Dunmore's residence, on Carl ton-terrace, in a few days, from Savernake, Wilts, where they have been receiving a eneceesion of visitors Maria Marchioness of Ailesbury has returned to town from a visit to the Marquis and Marchioness of Anna bal. at Savernake Forest, Marlborough.

TURIN, MARCH 19. Mgr. Pratellini, Bishop of Fossombrone, in the old pontifical provinces, has been tried before the assize court of Pesaro, for having grossly insulted the government in his answer to a circular of the Minister of Justice. Being found guilty by the jury, the court sentenced him to three months' " forced residence " at Pesaro and a fine of 500 fr. " Forced residence" is a sort of exile. The bishop will be allowed to select a convent or seminary in which to pass his three months' retirement. ♦ deputation of the supreme council of the Grand Orient of Italy, of the Scotch rite of freemasons, has arrived at Turin from Palermo, to present Garibaldi with the insignia and diploma of the grand mastership of the order, to which dignity the general has been unanimously elected.

This is in addition to the naval sod marine oadotehips annually granted by tho Lords Cominissimiers of the Admiralty. A RONAN CATHOLIC ARCHBISHOP ON DUELLING. —The glory of duelling is extinguished so far as Irish Roman catholic" an concerned. The Most Rev. Dr. Dixon ' Roman catholic Archbishop of Anne& and " Primate of all Ireland," has published a letter in the Dublin Roman catholic journals, in which he says :—" I have been greatly shocked by the tone which. for some time past, Du pervaded, and which continues to pervade, public meetings in this country, letters in newspapers, and so forth ; and I am anxious to protest thus publicly against the notion. whereof this tone appears to be an indication." He disclaims any intention of attack ing the O'llonoghtte, " knowing the sound catholic feeling of that gentleman," and persuaded that he is now sorry for challenging Sir R. Peel. He does not attack protestant duellist. either, as, with their varying faith, they may be supposed also to vary in their notions of morality. Having made these explanations, the highest prelate in the Irish Roman catholic church thus pronounces his anathema on duellists :—" Lastly, I speak of catholic duellists u such ; that is to say, 1 speak of them precisely in their character of duel lists—in other words, I speak not immediately and directly of the person, but of the act. Having premised these obser vations I now assert. without the least fear of being con tradicted by any one who understands the doctrine and practice of the catholic church-1, That the catholic duel list, as such, must be held io abhorrence by every one who loved our divine Lord, by every one who hates mortal sin. sod has a due horror of an act whereof the holy church of God has au exceeding great horror ; 2, That the catholic duellist, as such, proves himself to be in reality a coward, to the true Christian meaning of the words 'cower irlieriat 'heroism." Tia LONGFORD " ELPATloN."—Resident magic taster—who are the paid officers of the Crown—have col lected a large body of evidence is the shape of sworn infor mations, which have bees laid before the government in reference to the late Longford election. tine of the local magistrates—a gentleman of high position in the county— in a letter which appears in the Dublin Doily Zoprear, gives a recital of some of the facts sworn to, which shows that the worst was not told at the time. He states that for nights before the election the county WIN patrolled by hands of armed fellows, breaking into houses, swearing people not to vote for Colonel White. destroying windows, smashing doom, plough; and other implements of agricul. tore that came in their way. The savage attacks made on these who bad the courage "to go against the people" were beyond counting. The excitement in the chapels on the previous Sunday was something fear ful. One priest prayed that God might shorten the days 'of any of his dock who should vote for Colonel White. In another chapel the curate was so excited while haranguing the people that be went into a fit and has sines died. The supporters of Major O'Reilly went in armed bands through the country in the BOIS firing their guns and pistols. Another set is reeleftd so atrocious that it is better to relate it in the words el the • "An armed party broke into the houseof s reepmea mi t imt em e n, living, [believe, on Lord Oneard's estate.

A system can only be well judged when taken u a whole. The one proposed contains at once aug mentations and diminutions of taxes and resonroes fur extraordinary public works, which can either be developed or restricted. This question will, however, be discussed by common agreement, and I do not doubt that, with the spirit of conciliation which should animate all, the committee on the budget and the Council of State will act in concert to bring about a solution in conformity with the wishes of the chamber and the general interest.

Prince Gagarin, a Polish noble of high rank who some time since became a Jesuit, and haisf,a long while been head master of the Polish school, in Paria, has been dismissed for some reason not known. The Bourse, after opening with great iirmnes., experienced a reaction, which, however, is oily attributed to the desire very generally felt to close accounts on a Saturday night. The Rents left off at 70.05, both for cash and account, being a rise of 10c. in the first case, and a fall of se. in the latter. Mobilier was without change. The Italian loan fell 15c. The only material changes in railwayi were a rise of 7.50 in Lyons, and a fall of :if. in Eastern and Western. Advises from Nancy state that a deputation of the manufacturers of embroidery of that town hare been received bythe Empress, to whom they pointed out the depressed state of that branch of business in which a considerable number of workmen wen lately employed. The Empress promised to make such modifications in her toilette as would allow the use of embroidery.

LONDON, MONDAY, MARCH 24. Tue story of the latter days of the Temporal Power is fertile in episodical scandals and surprises. The latest is the publication at Turin, through the instrumentality, it is said, of two distinguished ecclesiastics, and with the assent, if not at the ang&stion, of Baron II ii•Asou, of a aeries of most private and confidential despatches, from which it appears that "all or nothing" was not always, or even so recently as a twelvemonth since, the last word of the responsible advisers of the Court of Rome to all proposals for a compromise with the Kingdom of Italy. In January and February, 1861, Count CAVuti, and Cardinal Awroneku were busily, though not directly, engaged in coming to tonne upon that Roman question which still so unser eountably perplexes the counsels and the con science of the Emperor NAPOLEON. Strange, but true I for it is impossible, except indeed an the principle that tent nutvrais cas est niob'e, for the Court of Rome to cast a doubt upon the perfect genuineness and authen ticity of the confidential transactions now suddenly, and, as some may think, unseasonably brought to light. It may be observed, however, that secret negotiations between open adversaries are nothing more than diplomacy in the cater pillar stage. They belong to history, though seldom to contemporary history. At what moment to divulge thew is a question of expediency, of prudence, of propriety, of opportunity. It is characteristic of an epoch of universal and instan taneous publicity, when over and under the streets of populous cities, across continents and below seas, men's thoughts are interpreted and men's works chronicled in lightning—that political secrets, which half a century ago might have re sembled the first sap of a protracted siege, are now more like mined passages sprung under the very walls. The publication of these _papers is hardly calcu lated to prose toe straightforwardness and since rity of the Emperor of the Firemen in his double personation of disinterested benefactor to Italy and devoted protector of the Pure. No man, whether in public or in private affairs, can be ineen ....— sable to the advantage of being believed. Will these _ . secret papers confirm the credibility of tho French Government or enlighten the credulity of Europe ? That is a question which we would rather leave to the documents themselves to answer. But it should be noted that only the week before last M. Ilittartr, the Minister without Portfolio, was bestowing his somewhat gaudy rhetoric upon the patient magnanimity with which the ENITAILOR had waited althea, many years, and was waiting still, for the Court of Rome to consent to a compromise. M. be OKAAIONT had advised, and requested, and warned in vain; M. Ds La % %T.crrz had suffered a moral repulse. The Court of Rome remained inexorable, and, on the other hand, the pretensions of the people of Italy were exorbitant. The French Government dill waited —on Providence. We can recommend as • trial of skill the task of reconciling M. Biu.at•LT'a ele gaiit phrases with the fact that in February, I $o; I, Count CAv"ut'it and Cardinal ANTI,NELLL had actually agreed to the terms of a Convention for the final and complete settlement of the Roman question ; and that it was the intervention of French Oovernment at the last moment that cut abort the negotiations and nipped the Conven tion in the bud. To put the case in the fewest words, but for the French Government the Roman question was solved a year ago. Let the French Government dispute or disprove this fact if it can; the Monitrotr, no doubt, will be content to deny it. It was in January, 1861, that Count Cavout requested an intimate personal friend and country neighbour, who happened to be going to Rome on private affairs, to feel his ground in that city, and to ascertain the possibility of treating confidentially with Cardinal ANTONALLI. Accordingly, upon his arrival in Rome, M. BoziNo set about his delicate and difficult task with a zeal that never outran discretion. He put himself in communication with M. ACIVOLIA, formerly secretary to Father VEN irr..a, and an intimate personal friend though not a political associate of Cardinal Aarosr.o.f. Thu Abbil lama, at that time secretary to Cardinal o' A:: DILEA, was it seems a party to these traneactiona M. Rosin° soon perceived thatthe CANDINALSECILW var.r was entirely free from illusions as to the pro bable duration of the Temporal Power, and was perfectly ready and willing to treat, provided only he could count on the strictest and most scrupu lous secrecy. On receipt of advice' to this effect Count CATOCIt sent by private hand to M. BOZIYO a draft of the negotiations he proposed to pursue, and ultimately to fix in a Convention. According to the terms of this instrument the Pore should recognise and crown the King of IT...LT. His HOLINDA should retain the high suzerainty over the patrimony of St. Peter ; which should be governed by the King of ITALY and his succes sors as a perpetual Vicariate. The Cardinals should receive an annual indemnity of sixty thousand francs each, with seats officio in the Senate of Italy. An ample civil list should be guaranteed to the Sovereign Pontiff, secured on the patrimony of St. Peter. The Convention should be em bodied in • contract approved by a special law, and its perpetual execution guaranteed by the most solemn engagements. These terms were accepted without reluctance or hesitation by the C.ittnimu. Sai.arraav, on the sole condition that the Italian Government should be able to satisfy the Court of Rome as to the permanent security foe the payment of the civil list to the Purr, and the annual pension' to the Cardinals. To this Count ROME. A letter from Rom;of the 15th, in the Debate, says : Political arrests continue here. The Mayor of Braccinno, M. de Angelis, a moat esteemed merchant, has been put in prison, as also the baker Yemeni, accused of belonging to the national committee, ea if every Roman did not belong to it. Four weeks back the advocate N. N— (for motive. of prudence I do not give his name) was taken from his bed, and shut up in the prison of Saint Michel ; up to the present moment he is ignorant of what he is accused. He may remain for years in this position, unless some event happens which will open the doors of the political prisons ; and some day or other, after two, three, or ten years of preventive detention, he will be set at liberty without having even undergone an examination or known what was his mime. So it is that things are earned on here. But here is still better : six months ago two boys were quarrelling in the street, when the youngest, aged eight years, called a gendarme who was passing, and denounced his comrade as 'having written in the crown of his hat, " Victor Emmanuel for ever !" Upon this the worthy gendarme seizes hold of the child and the proof of accusation, end takes them to the police ; this child of 14 years is sent to the Careen Nuovi, where, after a detention of six months, he has just been condemned to remain imprisoned for four years ad Istajorem Dei Orions. If any senator questions this fact, he may satisfy himself as to its truth by applying to the unfortu nate father, a poor workman in mosaic, residing at No. 125, Via del Itabuino. FREEDOM OF THE PRESS IN AUSTRIA. In the sitting of the Chamber of Deputies on Thursday, an important question was unexpectedly decided. The discussion upon the penalty in cases of prosecutions of the press was proceeding. The committee had attached importance to the proposi tion that if the legal tribunals decided in any case that the seizure of the periodical was illegal, the Treasury should indemnify the injured party. On Thursday, shortly after the general diecuaaion had commenced, M. de Rizy, who represented the Ministry of Justice, rose and announced that the government adopted the principle. This announce- ment was received by the chamber with loud and general applause. ostrnes nuanits.l THE EMPEROR'S REPLY TO THE ADDRESS OF THE CORPS LEGD3LATIF. 1 ) AB.13, MARca 24. • The Moniteur of to-day contains the following official account of the reception by the Emperor of the deputation bearing the address of the Corps Legislatif. The Emperor, in reply to Count Morny, who presented the address, said The adhesion of the Corps Legialatif is the more valuable to me, as the discussion of the address offered a spectacle worthy of attention. As, unhappily, extreme opinions are most forward to display themselves, and as respect for the liberty of speech causes them to be heard in silence, the public often take this silence for tacit acqui escence. But your address has now dispersed all these clouds, has put matters in their true light, and re-established confidence. I receive with real satisfaction the expression DRAM OP PRINCE WINDISCHGRATZ. Prince Windiscbgrwtz, whose death is announced in the latest amounts from Vienna, entered the military service in 1804. He commanded the cuirassiers of the Grand Duke Constantine at Leipsic, and distinguished him self during the French campaign at Troyes and at In Five. Champenoise. His military renown, however, dates from the year 1848, when he suppressed the Seise. movement in Bohemia, and maintained a four days' battle with the inhabitant+ of Vienna. His wife perished at Prague on the 11th of June, in the same year, having been killed while sitting at a window during the ....mute. Con queror at Prague and Vienna, he was defeated by the HUD prism, having been driven from Peath-Buda by Georgey in April, 1849. Since that time be has lived in retirement. The last days of this reactionary chief were saddened by seeing the principles against which he had fought so obstinately, carried out, partially, at all events, by the government which be was supposed to have saved. On one occasion, during the tint session of the Beicharath, his chagrin found expression. He ascended the tribune of the Upper Chamber, and prophesied new catastrophes. the necessary consequence, he said, of the statute of February ; and he announced that he was, as heretofore, ready to protect Austria with his sword. This language found no echo, however, in the chamber, ►nd the deceased prince did not subsequently appear in public life. MONOLITH TOIL THE NATIONAL ALBERT MEMO RIAL—W.IIw that there is a likelihood of a monolith suitable fee the National Albert Memorial, about which there has been moms dimmed= of late, being found on the imitate of Bigmouth It is of granite ; and we believe a com munication hes been addressed to the committee in Lon don on the snidest. We have not heard the dimensions of the block, but Imre little doubt that, if it be at all suitable, it will be profaned, coming from Balmoral, to one from any other quarter. —dterdecii Herald. THE Cuasx SLAVE TRADE.—The following letter has been handed to us for publication :—" Foreign-office, March 19, 1862. —Sir, —I am directed by Lord Russell to acknowledge the receipt of a memorial signed by you as chairman of a meeting of the inhabitants of Edinburgh, call ing the attention of bar Majewty's government to the Cuban slave trade, and praying that prompt measures may be adopted for i•sistlag on the fulfilment by Spain of her treaty enpgements with this country for the suppression of this traffic. I am, in reply, to acquaint you that his lord ship is in communication with the Spanish government on this subject, and will emit Do measures for accomplishing the purpose dmired.—l Lavaao. —John Dunlop, Eul!.—Adiablimil Courant. THE ALLWICS Bamt.—The new bank has been overwhelmed with • y.liante for share; the applications being upwards of 160,1 r ; whilst the shares to be allotted, according to the prospectus, are only 10,000 on the first issue, and 10,000 on a second Miens, which, it is understood, will be made forthwith. This groat demand for shares is, no doubt, based on the fact that the bank will have the support of London capital, and on the belief that the directors will make some modifications of the existing banking system in Liverpool. so as to attract to the hunk that amount of cub deposits which is at pre sent nightly locked up in strong boxes and breeches pockets. A banker is, in law and in fact, a dealer in money. He barrows money from 006 set of people who have no present employment for it, and lends it to another set of people who have, taking care that he receives a larger remuners tics from the one than be pays to the other. It does not matter whet feces the loss ammass, but this is the simple operation of a banker. There Is, no doubt. always • con siderable sum of money lying unemployed in Liverpool, but experience shows that, in au active community like this, rely little Liverpool money remains in deposit with the hankers when the rate of interest is sufficiently high to secure good security or profitable employment elsewhere. This, however, is not the case in` ondon. Experience there shows that there is always • class of depositors who, in lodging money at • bankers, Kok rather security than interest, and hence it is that the London bankers are enabled to make for their shareholders such high rates of dividend. The promoters of the Alliance Bask of London and Liver pool seem well to have considered this, and it is nameably to he expected that, without entering into any hostile rivalry with existing banks, they will be able to manage the new scheme in a manner that will give increased facilities to the public and yield respectable dividends to their share holders. If a bank mould be maintained in Liverpool with Liverpool deposits only, and without any charge for com mission, the public may be aseured that th e practice would have been adopted Wog ago by the shrewd bankers living mom* us. We feel sure, therefore, that any mere Liver pool bank, relying epos Liverpool deposits only, and aban doning all past Liverpool experience, will ultimately realise a disaster to its too sanguine promoters and too confiding shareholders.—Li Albion. EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (nor 0111 OWN PAPAS, SUNDAY SVID7IIO. At a late hour this afternoon the Emperor received a deputation from the Corps Legislatif, who presented him the address just voted. His Majesty's speech, in return, is not communicated to the evening journals, but I understand that he as good as promised not to dissolve the Chamber before the end of its time, which, however, will run out this year. No doubt, as far as the Emperor's confidence is concerned, he could not hope to get so complaisant a set of deputies as the present one. The only question upon which the hypothesis of a dissolution him been argued is whether a Chamber elected under such circum stances as this was, sufficiently represents the country after the reforms of November 24, 18130. The town of Blaye, in the Gironde, is in a state of great excitement in consequence of the disclosure that a monk belonging to the school of the " Bre thren of Christian Doctrine" has absconded, and is accused of infamous assaults on the boys. It is thought that the school will be closed. It is reported that the Pope has thought it expe dient to slat a brief ao all the bishop. ie Clariatan dom, ordering preachers rigorously to abstain from politics in the pulpit. This exhortation will be very seasonable in Fran. A Warsaw letter of March 17, in Benin's Cor respondence, gives an account of a process of tor ture by the Russian government, so horrible, so Irepugnant to every ides of civilisation in this cen tury, that, notwithstanding the names and minute details given, I cannot bring myself to believe it true. The statement is that M. Alex. Zamoyki, whose arrest, in consequence of a clandestine press having been found in his house, has been already mentioned, was put to the question several nights successively, between the hours of 10 and 1 in the morning, before a special commission of five Rus sians. The ordinary Judges of Instruction, MM. Skowrouski and Dombrouski, were not allowed to sit on this occasion. During these midnight examin ations the special commissioners repeatedly bad the priaonerstripped and beaten with rods, in order to extract answers from him. The unfortunate man's back has been literally skinned by the execu tioners. After all no discovery could be got from the patient by this barbarous process, and General Kryjanowaki, the Governor of Warsaw, under whose orders this torture was performed, has given it up in despair. The Journal du Havre says that, according to private letters front Acapulco, Mexico is preparing to resist foreign intervention with great energy. A lady of Guadalajara, Dona Ignacia Reisch, has petitioned the government for leave to form a batta lion of women, to whom the honour is to be accorded of marching in front of the first battle given to the invaders. M. Alvars, an attache to the Peruvian Legation here, writes to the papers to give a positive denial to the statement of some New York journals, that there is an agitation among certain classes in Lima in favour of the annexation of Peru to Spain. PARIS, SATURDAY Erratum. Several petty political prosecutions are reported to-day. A student named Gierzinski, of Polish birth, but a Frenchman by the naturalisation of his father, was arrested on Feb. 27 among a group of students, who, after giving an ovation to IL Ernest Eclat', were crying " Down with the Jesuits," "Ronan for ever, " in the Place St. Sulpice. He was accused of resisting the police in the execution of their duty, and upon this point the evidence was contradictory. His own state ment was that he was quietly going home, and merely fell in with the group of students by accident. However, upon the evidence of a policeman that he had "raised his cane," the tribunal of Correctional Police found him guilty of resisting the public force, but sentenced him only to the mini mum punishment--Aix days' imprisonment. M. Weever, the brother-in-law of Colonel Oharras, whose arrest, as I mentioned a few days ago, provoked the resignation of some municipal functionaries in Alsace, where he is a well-known and much-respected manufacturer, was tried yes terday in Paris on various charges—the principal of which was " havinvicited to hatred and contempt of the government" publicly distributing a song called the " Lion n Quartier Latin. " Yon may have seen this song, which has been published in London both in French and in a verse translation. But the court ac quitted the accused upon this count. He was found guilty, however, of circulating the said song with out the printer's name, and of having "carried on intelligence with a view to excite hatred and con tempt, &c. The court only sentenced him to three months' imprisonment and I,ooofrs. fine—a light punishment if it is to be admitted that the safety of the state required a prosecution. The evidence against the prisoner was procured by opening his letters at the post-office. A student named Fermi, aged 21, the editor of a small and little-known journal called the Mourenient, has been sentenced to one month's imprisonment and a fine of 300 f., for exciting to
