TO-MORROW Morning, U. 430.....A11inew6L6Ta LONDON, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER & Ir England has not all the speechifying at this season to herself, neither has Ireland all the riot ing. While the zealots of the rival faiths were pounding each other like Irishmen and Christians at Belfast, Geneva was offering an unexpected at traction to tourists in search of the picturesque. Instead of a civilized and comely city, prosperous, well-to-do, contented, liberal, humane, wrapt in the enjoyment of peace—of honourable and digni fied security, the passing traveller might have seen a few days since, on the shores of that lovely lake, a fair, free city divided against itself, be sieged, barricaded, stormed, surprised into revolt, trembling with the shock of hostile cannon, and aghast at the spectacle of civil war and bloodshed in its streets. An English tra veller inquiring what it all meant, would have been little edified by the information that a procession of unarmed citizens accompanying the returning officer of an election had been waylaid, assaulted, and fired upon without a moment's warning or hesitation by an armed body of supporters of the unsuccessful candidate, and that artillery had been planted in a leading thoroughfare for the purpose of punishing the victorious majority with grapeshot. Any ordinal/ Englishman, no doubt, would be more astonished at the form than the fact of such a disturbance. Brickbats, and broken heads, and tumultuous avengers of the conquered candidate,might not be altogether foreign tohis own experience. But the muskets and the grapeshot would give him pause, and from the scenes of a general election in stirring times at home his thoughts would turn to continental revolutions, and he would ask himself whether Geneva was qualifying itself for annexation to a neighbouring Empire, by proving in the most conspicuous and disgraceful manner its political degeneracy and demoralization, its contempt for law, its impa tience of liberty, its disregard of right, except indeed the right of the strongest. Thereupon any intelligent Englishman would pro ceed perhaps to further inquiries, and the result of his discoveries would, we clammy, be far from clear or convincing. He would learn on one aide that it was but a purely local squabble that had led to all this disorder and violence ; that for thirty years past, but more particularly for the last eighteen years, the city had been divided into two parties, sometimes called the Radicals and the Conservatives, and sometimes (far more intelligibly to any one familiar with local circumatutces), PREEMIE and Independents—that is, partisans of M. Jamas Fszy, who foi fears had exercised, in all but the form and the name, a veritable poli tical dictatorship, and a dictatorship modelled on the Parisian plan—arbitrary, headstrong, violent, lavish of public money, destructive of public morals. He would hear that this M. JAREN FAZE, though a citizen of Geneva, and of an old Protestant family, was by education and political associations one of those French cosmopolitan democrats who so easily become Imperialists, and in whose precedents and traditions Imperialism ! finds a warrant for all its lawless extravagance' ' and oppression ; that the Conservatives, or rather Independents, were the patriotic representatives of the ancient virtue and simplicity of the Re- public, of its pure religion, its austere morality, its prudent and ordered freedom ; that M. FREY was a professed imitator of the system of French Im perialism, of its public works, its reckless budgets, its " fast " living, its supremacy of force, and lie organization of a spurious national will ; ' that it was even suspected that M. Farr, ever since he had been deposed from his dictatorship, had been engaged in plotting and contriving a further rectification of the French frontiers, and the absorption of a city and territory which served as a refuge for the free thought and discontent of disloyal subjects of the EMPEROR. M. FAZE'S recent alliance with the Catholic party who had been wont to regard him as their most dangerous and powerful adversary was interpreted as another symptom of a conspiracy which em ployed with equal readiness and recklessness all weapons, whether of intrigue or of disorder, to gain its ends. Such is one account the English. man at Geneva might have heard on the spot of the causes of the recent disturbance. On the other hand, if he had met a " Radical," or FAZYIET, he might have beard a very plausible tale of M. FA Z v's vigorous intellect, his fame as an ecc - nomist, his statesmanlike capacity, his enlightened administration of the finances and public works of Geneva, his razing of the fortifications, his dame litions and reconstructions,his introduction of many of the attractions of Baden and Homburg into a city as famous among tourists for its dulness as for its beautiful situation and its excellent hotels. And as for M. Fazv's propensity to Imperialism, he had been the staunchest of Republicans, the friend and associate of Republicans from his youth up ; as for his alliance with the Catholics, he had al vays been a disciple of that Patriarch of Feeney, THE 4 EXPRESS, SATURDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 3, 1864 . !who corresponded with VALeussas and wrote the Encyclopedia, and laughed to loam at ones the frivolous Parisians and the Genovese Puritans in that retreat which he dedicated to philosophy and toleration. If the Ca tholics supported M. FAZY it was because, as a Protestant statesman in • Protestant State, he was • friend to liberty of conscience and of wor• ship ; and besides, the Catholics, perhaps honestly, though mistakenly, believed that he was an Im perialist in disguise—a belief they were welcome to so long as they gave him their votes. Was it likely that M. FAZY would be disposed to ex change his unique position, his almost un interrupted political and almost complete moral dictatorship as a popular leader at Geneva, for the barren honours and emoluments of a French Prefect t The fact was, the Conservatives or Independents, as they called themselves, were really a narrowminded, exclusive, puritanical faction of ar;stocrata, jealous of M. FAZY'S popularity and influence, incensed at his thoroughgoing liberality, and at his success in making Geneva a city of pleasure, a miniature Paris. This, or something like this, would perhaps be the account of the Radicals of Geneva which the in quisitive Englishman would get from one of M. FiZleB partisans. And it would not be that Eng lishman's business, nor is it ours, to pronounce for or against either party, or to take aides in • purely domestic quarrel. But when the Englishman came to learn that on the occasion of the recent election, when the struggle was between a Fazyist and an Independent, a decisive majority in favour of the latter had been deliberately cancelled by the electoral bureau, entirely composed of M. Faze's partisans, without even a showof pretext for so mon strous a violation of the rights of the electors ; that not content with this unscrupulous and illegal act, a body of M. FAZY'II partisans had fired upon their fellow-citizens as they proceeded peacefully enough to t h e Hotel de Ville to demand of the Council of State the vindication of their votes, and that the killed and wounded were all on the aide of the " Independent " party ; we are persuaded that any country man of ours, whether Tory or Radical, in his own English sense, would at once condemn and deplore the conduct of a party which could be so ignorant or regardless of the very rudiments of freedom, as to cancel a legal electoral majority with out so much as a pretext, and then attempt to suppress by musketry and grapeshot a peaceful majority of their fellow-citizens appealing to constitutional authority for the protection of their rights and liberties. Though M. FAZY may pos sibly be no admirer or adherent of French low ilaliam, it is tolerably certain that M. Ds PERSIONY himself would not desire a more accomplished and unscrupulous adept in the Imperial mode of ma naging the suffrage—if indeed M. Fszy insti gated or approved the violence of his partisans. Since the downfall of M. FAZY'S domination it is too notorious that the peace of Geneva has I :en continually broken ; and it appears that even the annexation of Savoy has not been accepted by M. FAZY'S partisans as a warning to all true patriots to stand together in face of a common danger. It is, therefore, with especial satisfaction that we learn that the election of the Independent can didate, which the7Radical or Fazyist bureau had cancelled, (is declared valid by the Federal Council. Such a declaration was indispensable, if the inde pendence of Geneva was to be justified to Europe. As Englishmen we can have nothing to say to M. nay, to his friends and adversaries. Let them only fight out their quarrels fairly and legally by the press, by public meetings, by the ballot-boxes, without descending into the streets and discharg ing grapeshot arguments at one another. But, in common with all Liberal Europe, England is inter ested, in these days of rampant Ciesariam, in the preservation of the national independence of Geneva as a free State and a free people. THE BRAJIMAI GATHERING. A B/RIDEILN, FRIDAY Arrialtoox._ The Braemar Gathering, for competition in High land sports and games, was held at the Castle of Mar on Thursday, when their Royal Highbrows the Primes and Princess of Wales, with • large camber of distingniabed personages, were present. There was also a great muster of spectators from all parts of the eanntry ; indeed, aa le former years, the romantic old village was quite unequal to meet the demands for comfortable bed and board made by the many tourists who assembled in it on Wednesday evening, so that pot-lack and rough shaks-downs were eagerly ac cepted anywhere and in any way. The clans met neer Castledown about midday on Thursday, the Fife men, some 80 in number, being commanded by Viscount Macdaff, Mr. R. W. Duff, M.P., and Mr. George Lane Fox. The Farqu harson* had • rather larger array, and were officered by Captain Farquharson, 60th Rifles, and Captain Hein/ Farquharson, &Me' Fusilier Guards, Combined they were • very fine body of men, and dressed in the tartan. of the respective chiefs, and armed with long pikes, had an imposing appearance. Most unfortunately the weather was wretchedly bad, strong gusts of wind and drizzling showers sweeping down the beautiful valley where the warlike old castle of Mar stands. Notwithstanding this, the spectators gathered Muddy around the ring, and the competitor, stripped and set to work racing, "putting the stone," throwing the hammer, tossing t►e caber, Ito. At half-part 2 the raising of the standard on the math, top announced the coming of the Prince and Princess of Wales. The games were instutly stopped, and the Highlanders, hurrying into line, greeted their royal highnesses with loud cheers, the general body of spectators joining heartily. The Prince and Princess were received by the Earl of Fife ••d Colonel Farquharson, of Invercerild. Her royal high nem took her seat on a sofa beside Lady Fife, while the Prince entered at once into convomation with the noblemen and gentlemen erouad. The games, having been renewed, ware contested with great spirit for about an hour, when a abort rest took place, during which luncheon was served in the Castle to a party of about 100. Colonel Farquharson ha 1 the honour to conduct the Princess of Wales to table, the Prince fol lowing with Miss Oswald, the colonel's bride elect, on his arm. The latter incident was at ones noticed by the Highlanders, and seemed to give much gratification. After luncheon the sports recommenced, and despite the falling rain, which came down heaviest daring the most iateresting contest of all—the dancing—the Prince and Prisms, kept their places till the end, when they par took of tea in the castle, and shortly before 6 o'clock drove off for Abergeldie Castle, amid enthusiastic cheers. A grand ball we held in the evening at the castle, when a number of the distinguished visitors joined the High landers in their merrymaking. AMERICA. —..— taannee wmamx) The Royal Mail steamer Persia arrived at Queens town at &15 p.m. yesterday, with 68 paasengeva and 89,000 dots. in specie.

On Friday, the sth corps of Grant's army took up a position on the Weldon railroad, and tore up the track, but were surprised and driven back by the Confederates, with the loss of 3,000 killed, wounded, and prisoners. The Federals were rein forced, and recovered and maintained their lost ground. On Sunday, the Confederates made a 'strong effort to drive Grant off, but were repulsed with considerable loss. A portion of Grist's force returned from the north aide of the James River to reinforce the position on the Weldon railroad. On Sunday an engagement occurred between Sheridan and Early near Charlestown. There was considerable loss on both aides. Sheridan fell back to Halltown. Early is near Martinsburg. It is reported that Lee in person is advancing up ,the Shenandoah Valley, with infantry and cavalry, to reinforce Early for a northern invasion. Sherman's position is unchanged. Colonel Kilpatrick has destroyed ten miles of the Macon railroad. Wheeler has cut the Knoxville and Chattanooga railroad near London. The Federals are advancing from Pensacola to wards Mobile Bay. Granger's troops are within three miles of Fort Morgan. The Mayor of Mobile has ordered non-combatants away, and has recommended the defence of the city to the last extremity. The Richmond E.caminer says :—" The South will never negotiate for reunion unless the North acknowledges the right of secession, and withdraws all troops and blockading squadrons from the South." The same paper states that the negro soldiers from places outside of the Confederate States will be treated as prisoners of war. The New York Berald asserts that Judge Black has gone to Niagara Falls to re-open peace negotia tions on the part of the Administration with the Confederate Commissioners. Several prominent persons have been arrested at Indianopolis, Indiana, for forming and arming a treasonable society. It is reported that numerous armed privateers are preparing to leave Wilmington. The public are awaiting with much anxiety the nomination of the Chicago Convention. Rumours of a movement by the Administration for an armistice continue. The Peruvian, Kedar, China, and City of Lime rick have arrived oat. NEW YORK, Avauer 24, Noma°. _ . . Grant ham taken up and maintained an entrenched position at Reams station on the Weldon railroad. The Confederates unsuccessfully attempted to drive him off. A considerable panic prevails among the inhabi tants of the Maryland border) on account of the anticipated invasion by Early.

The Confederates attacked General Birney at Deep Bottom on the 18th, but were repulsed. All attempts by Grant to advance his lines in that quarter have proved ineffectual, the Confede rates being found in force at every point. The Federal loss at Deep Bottom during the last week is estimated at upwards of 4,000 men. It is reported that operations on Butler's Dutch Gap Canal have been abandoned. On Sunday Early defeated Sheridan near Charles , town, and drove him to Hallton and Harper's Ferry, with a loan of 1,000 men. Early occupies Martinsburg, and is reconnoitring the fords of the Potomac, which are held by the Federal cavalry. Sheridan is asserted to command 45,CJ0, and Early an equal if not superior number. The Confederate General Wheeler cut the Chat tanooga and Knoxville Railway near Lonlon on the 21st. He is moving towards Knoxville, fol- lowed by the Federal General Steedman. There is nothing further from Atlanta, except positive confirmation that Hood has been heavily reinforced. Official despatches from Admiral Farragut of the Bth prove that Fort Gaines was voluntarily sur rendered. The Richmond Despatch of the 20th states that a Federal land force from Pensacola was advancing towards Mobile. The mayor had ordered all non combatants to leave the city, and urged its de fence to the last extremity. The Indians continue their depredations in Kan sas and Nebraska. Business in the principal towns has been sus pended, and the citizens are organising for defence. Bz-Surgeon-General Hammond has been found guilty by a court-martial at Washington of the grossest frauds and peculation while in office of the matter of supplies for the sick and wounded sol diers, and declared for ever disqualified to again bold office under the government.

How THE LORD PROVOST OF PERTH WAR K —Probably the fellow-citizens and country friends of Lord Provost Ross were taken by surprise whim, immediately after the unveiling of the statue. the Qesse. borrowing • sword from General Grey, ordered his lordship to kneel down, sod then touching him with the naked blade, first on the left shoulder and then on the right, ordered him to rise up "Sir David Ross." The surly. created knight himself was not much less surprised than any who witnessed the imposing ceremoniaL When the proms. 'ion was formed at the general station, and just before it started, Sir George Grey, accompanied by the Hon. Arthur Kinnaird, called on the Lord Provost in his carriage, and eked his Christian name. "David," said his lordship; "because," said Sir George, "tbe Queen intends to confer upon you the honour of knighthood." His lordship said he honed not ; whereupon Sir George replied, "nee mast be no refusal," and went and took his plus in the procession. It was like her !Warty ! Bbe meant to honour, through its chief magistrate, our ancient city, and so ordered it that her purpose could not be thwarted. The citizens of Perth, we have no doubt, will duly appreciate the honour conferred upon them through Sir David Roes ; and as for Sir David himself, we have only to wish that he may long worthily enjoy the honour costarred upon him by his sovereign.— Perdu/are Adrerf isrr.

EXTRAORDINARY SCENE IN ♦ Ca♦PEL.—A re• intuitable incident occurred in • chapel in Newcastle, Staffordshire, • few evenings ago. Just before the service commenced two ladies, one young and the other some what elderly, entered the chapel, and took their teats is • central pew in the gallery. Presently the younger lady removed to • front pew, which was furnished with sere• cal hymn and other books. Looking towards • seat in the body of the chapel, occupied by • gentlemen, and evidently in • state of great excitement, she took no the books and threw them at the occupant of the seat below exclaim , rig, after she had begun to pelt him. "You villain, you have mined me," and following tip the exclamation with further showers of books, which went ekes to, but but did not stniur the person for a om they were intended. The fair brawler was at mos taken in charge by some members of the coogregatioa, and removed from the building, but not without some trouble. for she resisted as much as she could. The occurrence, as may be sup posed, created • great Imitation in the chapel, and it wee some little time before the congregation were sufficiently collected to go on with the service in the proper frame at mind.— Birmingham Daily Poet. EXTRAORDINARY PROCEEDINGS IN ♦ CRURCH.- A Cl.EwrH♦i FLIIID 51. son ♦lt ASSAULT.-0a Tburs day, the Writgby petty maim, the Rev. W. Walker, vier of Heaney, wee charged with assaulting Mr. John Key Maltby, on the 19th June last, in the Seamy Church. The magistrates on the bench were the Rey. E. F. Hodgson, Mr. E. Renesge, and the Bev. H. B. Boothby. The ease espied considerable interest in the neighbourhood and in Lincoln, from the fee that the defendant is in cnntisnal litigation with his parishioners. Mr. Tweed, of Lincoln, appeared for the complainant; sad Mr. Toynbee, of Liman, for the defendant.—Mr. Tweed, in opening the case, ez preened his regret to appear agthet • clergyman of the church of England , not he bad become notorious in the parish by his arbitrary act., and this action was brought on public grounds quite as much as far the assault committed— in fact, to teach Mr. Walker to act in • manner befitting his sacred office. He called Mr. Maltby, who stated that on Sunday, June 19, defendant came to him in the church and ordered him out of his pew to make room for • Mn. Squints, • schoolmistress, of Southerey. Witness refused to go, and asked defendant if be meant to saran him is the church. He replied, " Sure enough I'll assault you imme diately:* Defendant also laid his bad upon complainsat's shoulder and pushed him back. Mr. Truman and Rebate Woodhead gave corroborative evidence. Mr. Toyebes, addressing the court, contended that the ease was got up merely to strengthen the evidenes in ao action for libel with which complainant was threatened for • letter inserted by him in the Lincoln Gazette, respecting the alleged assault. He called Mrs. Squires, whose evidence contradicted that of the other witnesses ; as did ale, the pew opener and clerk of the church. Mr. Tweed then replied on the whole oak The bench decided, after retiring for s short time, that en malt had been committed, and • fine of 51. was indicted. FRIONTFUL DEATH ON TNE MOOIIB.—MT. John Heweteon, • wealthy yeoman of Lockholio, lievenekee dale, Westmoreland, left home on Saturday last at rican, to shoot on Smardale Fell, • neighbouring moor. Late at night, as he had not returned, his wife sent two of the servant men to seek for him. la the night, es may easily be supposed, they searched the moor in vain. and it was not until 8 o'clock on the following morning that they discovered the object of their search, lying dead. In massing • stone fence he had been accidentally shot by his own gun, but under no ordinary circularise:es. The charge had blown one of his eyes out, and had blinded the other, at the same time setting iire to his clothes. He bad evidently wandered about in this dreadful condition for some time, for his pocketbook, con tainiog 80/, in batik notes. partially burnt, • puree with 17 sovereigns, his gold wateh, powder•fissk, keys, tic., were found scattered here and there, impartially as they had dropped from his pockets se his clothes were consumed by the fire. When found be had not one rag of clothing left ex cept part of his stockings and shoes. His body was quite charred, and the heather for a considerable distance round wen completely burnt into the soil. Hi. gun wee lying by his side, and his pointer dog was with him when fonod.

After leaving Copenhagen their royal highnesses will pay a flying visit to ESL Petersburg, and lastly Stockholm. We under stand that the Prince and Primer will embark on board the Osborne, royal yacht, at about 4 o'clock this afternoon. The excursion to the Baltic is expected to occupy about thrro weeks. At a meeting of the Dundee town ocinneil on Thursday, Provost Parker stated that he had received a letter from Sir Charles Wood stating that it was the wish of the Prince of Wales that the embarkation should be conducted as quietly as possible. Aa they would have a long drive in the morning belay* getting to the railway, and then a long rail way journey, and in addition to that they had the prospect of a sea voyage, the Prince was anxious as much as possible to save the Princess from every exertion and fatigue. Sir Charlie Wood had intimated to the provost that while the Prince appreciated the wish that had been ezpreascd that there should be some display of the loyal feeling of the people on this occasion, it would not be agreeable to him ; but he would on another occasion visit Dundee, when they would have an opportunity of doing everything desirable in the way of display.

The revival of that play was also one of the great features of the Drury Lane season a hundred years ago, which corn/aimed in September, 1764. The Wexford Independent publishes the following humili►ting apology from the mayor of that town:—" We are authorised by the mayor to state that it was only on Saturday last he heard for the first time from a respected clergyman that attends's*, at the literary examinations is the model schools was trot compatible with an interdict which had been lamed by the veaerated bishop of the diocese ; and that, bad he been aware of it previously, he would not have been present at the recent examinations held in Ennisoorthy.

COLERIDGE AND THE Battor. —Mr. Coleridge complains of the following presage in our article of kat week, beaded " Vocation Speeches :"—" Sir John Taw lawny has a right, as a consistent advocate of the ballot, to comment on the singular conversion of Mr. Coleridge and of other defeated candidates." Mr. Coleridge stye :—"More than two years ago I stated that I should vote for the ballot, and in every printed and oral address I have made since then (and they have been a gocd many) I have repeated that statement. The amount of measure brought to bear upon voters which wu disclosed to me daring my mover led me to believe the ballot to he of more political impor tance than I had before believed. The letters which I saw, and the statements which were made to me, sad which I believe to be true, revealed an amount of moral coercion exercised towards voters of which I had no previous idea. And this led me, in a speech I made before the election, and when my chanc e s of success ware very good, to say that, while in all other respects I adhered absolutely to what I bad at int stated, in the matter of the ballot I was now convinced that I had much midst rated its importance, and I thought it fair to say so. from my defeat I have made any sort of public allusion to the ballot, either orally or in wilting. Yoe may think me right or wrong in my opinion, but you have, I amen you, done me • great, though I am sure unintended injustice in suggesting that my opinion was in any way redeemed by the result of the election. I should think it showed great Desserts. to be consciously indueeced by such mumblers- Mom, and great weakness to be umoneciously iedueoced by thesa."—Saierday Review.

LATRiT INTELLIGENC% PRUSSIA. The DAM, of to-day says :—" The victories of Prussia begin to bear their fruits, and to make their influence felt in the political institutions of that country. The Correspondence Zeidler, a semi-official organ of the ministry, replies very dis tinctly to those who hoped for a closer union of the Legislative Chambers ; that there is no necessity for discussing with the Chamber of Deputies the budget of 1864. And what reason does this journal give for its opinion ? It is that everything has proved for some time past that the government is in a condition to execute its great deeds 'in spite of the Chamber and not with the Chamber. Those are words which leave little of future to the constitutional rigim: in Prussia." THE ARRESTS IN AUSTRIAN ITALY. Austria pursues its career of persecutions in the parte of the peninsula which it still holds. The arrests are grounded on the fact that the parties inculpated belong to the party of action, and had formed projects of immediate insurrection. A patriot of Trente, M. Pederzolli, writes to the Pungoto of Milan, affirming that the Austrian police has had recourse to vain pretezta. " Not even one of the persons arrested," says he, "be longs to the party of action, either to the section which has for its organ the Diritto, or to that which has for its chief Mazzini, and for its organ the Unita Datiatia. As for the projects of in surrection,' I can declare in the most positive manner, and from certain know ledge, that no one has disapproved more than the arrested of every attempt at insurrec tion. Ido not know whether these declarations, which I make on my word of honour, will serve so many innocents and so many fathers of families. At all events I shall have obeyed the voice of my conscience." (mimes mamma) DENMARK. CLOSING OF THE RIGSRAAD. OOPENHAGEN, Bur. 1, Emo ro. _ . _ . . - The Rigsraad was closed this afternoon. Herr von Blubme, the President of the Council, read a short message from the King, ordering the close of the session. His Majesty said that, if necessary, he would convoke the Chambers for an extraordi nary session. The proposals contained in the reports of the Political and Military Committees were adopted by the Folksthing yesterday, after an animated debate. The Grand Duke Nicholas of Russia has arrived here. SPAIN. MADRID, Barr. 2, Emma The Noticias of to-day, making allusion to some assertions of the Opposition journals, says : " The government will not change the working of the new press law, but if the press were to adopt a conciliatory attitude the government would certainly interpret the spirit of the law in its favour." EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (nom oua owl, PAR D 3, FRIDAY EYRIADIO. The Emperor will come back from the camp to morrow. It is now known that be was suffering from indisposition when be went there, and that it was on account of having been cupped that he de layed his visit 24 hours. The Mossiteur of this morning insists that his Majesty witnessed the sham battle directed by the Duke of Magenta, on horseback. This was not the case. M. de Roos, the Prussian war minister, arrives here this evening, wearing the cross of the Legion of Honour, with which Napoleon 111. has just decorated him. This morning the body of M. Enfantin was con veyed to Pere is Chaise, where it was laid in the dust, The late prophet of the St. Simonians was fol lowed to the grave by a large number of disciples. After the death of the previous chief of the sect, Enfantin took the lead of the St. Simonians, and established a jouical to propagate his doctrines. In 1831 he was confirmed in the placebo had assumed, and started an official journal. In 1832 the government ordered the dissolution of the iuisocii tion, and Enfantin retired, only carrying with him into his solitude the title of " Father." The mortal remains of Nre Enfantin were followed by many of the leading men of Paris. M. Gueroult, M. Louis Jourdan, and others represented men of letters. There was no religions ceremony. Alexander Dumas has just addressed this charac teristic letter to the Emperor on the subject of his piece recently produced here, and called the Mohi cans. The Mohicans had been stopped by the cen sure, and Dumas wrote : Sire,—ln 1830, and even to-day, there were three men at the head of French literature, Victor Hugo, Lantartine, and myself. Victor Hugo is proscribed. Lemartine is ruined. I cannot be exiled like Victor Hugo, as neither by word, writing, nor act, have I gives the authorities any hold over me. But I can be ruined like Laroartine, and lam being ruined. Ido not know what has excitani the antrum against me. I have written and published 1,200 volumes. It is sot for me to appreciate their literary merits. Translated into all tongues they have gone as far as steam could carry them. Although the least worthy of the three, in the five parts of the world I have become the most popular, because one is • thinker, the other a dreamer, whilst I write for all (Je Lou, awl, on oulyaruateur). Of there 1,200 volumes there is not one bat could be given to any workman of the Faubourg St. Antoine, the most republican, or to any young girl of the Faubourg St. Germain, the most modest of our Faubourg'. Well, elm in the eyes of the censure I am the most impure man alive. Within twelve yearn the censure has suoceesively stopped Isaac Loquatem, sold 80,300 francs; the Tour de Neale, after 800 representation's, stopped for seven years. Augele stopped after 300 repreeentatioas for six years; Antony also for six years, after 350 representations. La /manse de Louie XIV., not played though received by the French Theatre. To-day the censure stops the Yakima, of Paris, which was to have been played on Saturday. It will pro bably, on some pretext or another, forbid Olympia of Cleves and Balsamic, which plays lam writing now. I do not complain any more for the Mohicans than for my other drams. I would observe to year majesty that during the three years of the R.estoraties of Charles X., during the 18 years' reign of Louis Philippe. I sever had • piece either suspended or arrested, and I add, for your Majesty alone, that it appears to me unjust to make • single dramatic author lose more than half • million when so many men, who do not deserve the name, are encou raged and supported. I appeal thee for the first, and probably for the last time, to the prises whose hand I had the honour to press at Arenenberg, at Ham, end at the Elyets, and who finding me a devoted proselyte when he was on the road to exile and the road to prison has aim hand ins • solicitor when on that of empire.
