No interest in the India Bills, nor in any other mama, should divert the attention of the Liberal members in the House of Commons from their duty es the 21st inst. Sir ions TaatawNe's motion for the abolition of Church Rates stands Ara on the notice-papa for that day ; and it is fully expected that the Hare will pinto Committee upon the Bill, though Mr. PACKS has given notice that he will move for postponement, with the usual meaning of throwing out the Bill. The rapidly increasing majorities in favour of the abolition of Church Rates must not make the Liberal members careless. We are not out of the wood yet, as too many parishes in England can avouch ; and the more secure the friends of religious liberty become, the more vigilant and daring will the minority become. Several circum stances combine to make it desirable that the majority should, on this occasion, be again in creased to a decisive point, while the same circumstances perplex all calculation as to what such increase may amount to. Nothing should there fore be left to chance. Beery Liberal member should be in his place as certainly as if the erne depended wholly on himself. It may be as well to remind our readers of the results of divisions on this subject in recent years, that it may be seen how much de pends on the fidelity of members on Wednesday next. Taking votes and pairs together, the majority was in 1833, 48 against the abolition of Church Rata. In 1834 it wail 27 on the same side. Then the sods turned, and in 1833 there was a majority *l'2B in favour of the abolition. This majority rose to 43 in 1838, and to 53 this session. These figures tell their own tale, and show that release from this compul sory payment, and from the painful feelings which it engenders all round, is within our reach, if our representatives are up to their duty. The stage of petitioning is past. The game is in our own hands. The majority of the House is rightly disposed ; and the people out of doors who petitioned in a former stage have now only to keep their representatives to the work till it is finished. We trust it can hardly be necessary to warn any old member of the snare laid for the unwary in the shape of proposals for this or that way of modifying the Church-rate imposition, short of abolishing its compulsory character altogether. But there are members who were not in the flow, and did not closely watch the course of the question between 1832 and 1837, who declare themselves disposed for some reform different from Sir J. TRILARICeiI. They shake their heads at his Bill, snd talk of some substitute. Will these gentlemen please to consider what is to be had and what is not to be had at this present time—which is what we have to deal with ? If they will look at the case u it now stands they will see that no Government which exist* or can exist will support the present system, and that the one alteration which has commanded attention and pined an ever increasing majonty of votes is that of the total abolition of the rate. Even if they are un willing to give up their respective notions, they mast still vote with Sir J. TEILAWNY on Wed nesday, in order to get their schemes considered in Committee. In every view, the less they say of any other plan, and the more readily they unite to get into Committee, in the first place, the better for the cause, as it appears in each man's view. This is so plain and clear that every member who helps to divert attention by any counter proposals on Wed nesday may expect to be placed on the list of oppo nents to Church-rate reform. There is certainly nothing in the aspect of the case out of the House to diminish the need of a Anal legislative settlement of this irritating ques tion. Indeed, the necessity increases, and is at this moment very urgent, for there are many places in England where the powers of the law, real or sup posed, are urged to their utmost stringency before the opportunity is lost. Double rates are enforced by all the terrors which tell so heavily on the rural mind, are laid for all manner of objects, legal or illegal, that as much mosey may be got hold of as possible be fore the law is changed. Where the Church structure is new, so that no repairs are wanted, double rates are laid to pay the ringers, the clerk, and for winding up the clock, and planting the churchyard, and introducing embellishments within. It may be maid that it is the fault of the parishioners if they allow such levies to be made upon them. This is true, is a way ; but it takes some time to instruct a village population in the niceties of the vestry; sad if instructed, there is the fear of a SUMMON, before the magistrates in petty sessions for the non-payment of rates : so the matter ends in a Quaker or two it,ing insulted, and winning or losin g th e day according the fitness of his legal adviser. We saw in the Pon•efl'act cases, a group of which drew attention last November and December, how wisely and well some ably-guided recusants have done and fared ; but it is not every where that the ratepayers understand their aces so well sa to foil the magistrates, as happened ti:"n• And even in that case, which ended so well, there was much that was irritating and painful. The magistrates are naturally annoyed when they end themselves powerless. and the churchwardens at being served with notices of actions ; and one con stant incident of these conflicts is, that the recusant' are charged with grudging the money, whatever ex pecte and trouble they may pat themselves lathe way of by their refusal to pay. The gentry declare as a truism, " • man moat pay hieratev, of course." Thew son " can't conceive why the Quakers refuse this rate " when they pay taxes which they know will go topay THE EXPRESS, SATURDAY EVENTNG, APRIL 17, ISSB. " the army." He never heard of, nor can understand, the Quaker theory of religious worship and service. The one point in which the squire and parson agree is, in concluding that the recusants want to wave a few shillings a year ; and if asked whethst HAMPDEN wanted to save his few shillings by 're fusing to pay ship money, they " don't see what that " has to do with it." However true it may be that in many parishes the rate has been abolished without the aid of Par liament, so that there has been an exemption from compulsory levy to the amount of 60,0004 within a short time, it is no lees true that the grievance is elsewhere becoming heavier, the injury to the Church more manifest, and the peace of neighbour hoods mote fatally disturbed. There will always be magistrates and clergy who will make burdens more and more grievous to be borne as they see the term of their power drawing on ; and this is so flagrantly the ease at present, in the matter of Church Rates, that every wise friend of the Church, and every good citizen anxious for the public peace, will be eager to preclude, by legislation suitable to the time, the whole set of mischiefs which arise from overbearing authority on the one band, and popular martyrdom on the other. There is mischief going on at this moment at Manchester, where the citizens 'apposed the whole affair settled long ago. At Liverpool, the rate is levied as " voluntary " (the word being on the tax-paper, and in red ink); and a similar subterfuge is being tried in some Metropolitan parishes. The Manchester people supposed themselves to be in the same position ; but they have been unpleasantly awakened from the dream, as the local newspapers show. On the Bth instant a vestry-meeting was held in the Cathedral, which recommended the Churchwardens to convene another meeting, for the purpose of laying a coat palsory Church Rats within the parish of Manchester. The thing will clearly never be done. What is wanted is to pall down the old ruined church tower, in order to its being rebuilt. What right has any body to suppose, the citizens ask, that they will not willingly pay—Dissenters as well as Churchmen— for such an object? Since the compulsory levy of Church Rates has wend money has never been less plentiful for Church objects than it was before, but the contrary, while every friend of religious and social peace has been gratified by the continual growth of good will between various sects, and their easy and natural approximation for good ob jects. And now, all this improvement is put to hazard, the Church is weakened, and Dissents strengthened, and sectarian warfare is introduced, by the folly of proposing to demand as a com. puleory tax what would cheerfully be given as a freewill offering. Here is the most recent of many lessons on the precarious character of that abolition of Church Rates which takes place without the aid of Parliament. It is a good thing, well worth struggling for ; but there is no security in it; and we must have the security which will be afforded by Sir I. TtetAwse's Bill, and by no measure which falls short of its scope. Between this time and Wednesday let all diligence be used to secure every reformer, and every real friend of religion and its liberties, being in his place. The newspapers are inundated with plaintive or indignant representations of the impossibility of tind;ng Policemen when they are wanted. La cab driver or omnibus conductor extortionate or in solent ? is a pickpocket caught with his hand in your pocket ? is a narrow thoroughfare blocked up by the obstinate determination of two driven of ve hicles neither to give way to the other ?—the Police man is always looked for, but rarely to be found. Various explanations have been propounded of this extraordinary phenomenon, among these the irre sistible attractions of the fair denizens of the areas has hitherto been the most popular. A now light has, however, been thrown on the subject in the course of Dr. Bzarskao's trial. Mr. JOHN Rocess, of the Metropolitan Police, tola the Court and Jury in the course of his exami nation that he has served in that force since 18,51 three years u a private and subsequently u a ser geant. He receives the regular pay, and is only em ployed on what seem to be considered in Scotland yard u the regular duties of the service. In addi tion to this information, Mr. RO4i ERS imparted the fact that he has " been engaged for several months " in watching the French and Italian Refugees." One of his special charges was to attend the meetings of a Debating Society in Leicester-square ; and it is but justice to the gentlemen who may take part in the proceedings of that society to state that in the opinion of Mr, Roolas—who as a Sergeant of Police, and moreover, if we take hie own word for it, a perfect master of the French language, ia, of course, a competent judge—" there was nothing very shocking " in their mode of discussing French and Italian affairs, and the comparative merits of despotic and consti tutional Governments. Now, it appears, that the first visit paid by Mr. ROGERS to this Debating Society was on the 9th of January—five days before the attempt in the Rue Lepelletier at Pule. The meetings of the Society and the subjects of discussion are regularly adver tised. They are attended by Englishmen—probably with a view of exercising themselves in the use of the French language—as well as foreigners. There is nothing secret about them. The dircusions are not, even in the estimation of the fastidious Mr. Roceas, " very shocking." They are, in fact, frequented from the same motives thatinduoed Buz to attend and take part in the meetings of "the Robin Hood." They constitute a kind of intellectual gymnastics long patronised in London. To these meetings Mr. ROGERS was sent by Sir RICHARD MAENE, in plain clothes. To the Commissioners of Police he made Reports,. from time to time, of the subjects discussed, the terms in 1 which they were discussed, and the persons who at tended. And a similar systematic espionage of the Refugees had been commenced, and perse vered in, months before the affair of the Rue Lepelletier and the WALEWSkI correspondence. What interest have the thief catchers of the Metropolis in the sayings and doings of the political refugees among us? There can be no doubt that the Reports of Mr. Rooßße were intended for the perusal of higher functionaries than even Sir RICHARD MATNI and Captain LABALMORDIERE. But, again, what interest has the English Home Office in the sayings and doings of political refugees? The information obtained by sending Policemen in plain clothes to mingle with unsuspecting foreigners, and report all their words and gestures, must have been collected by the English Home Office to be reported elsewhere. The fact is, that the persons of the emissaries of the French Police in this country have come to be so well known to the refugees that their eerance into any assembly is immediately followed by a chilling silence. French spies being no longer of any nee, the French Government has, of late, borrowed from the orympathising CLutarrnott-CLAticsiton Government in England the services of some C.:l l illit Detectives—we will not say spies, since Lord Camenit.t. objectts to the appli cation of the word spy to eavesdropping Policemen in plain clothes. There is something, it will be admitted by all, very undignified, to say the least, in the PsULU. STON Government (for it was under the Pu.neasTote Government that the practice appears to have origi nated) lending itself to be the spy-master--the Feinatn—of a foreign Government. Every true Liberal will be indignant at such a gross violation of the laws of hospitality. Be it remarked, that the miserable subterfuge that the affair of the Roe Lepelletier has placed a portion of the political exiles now in England in an exceptional position cannot be pleaded ; for the PALMERSTUN Cabinet had accepted the office of spy-master for the Continental despots before that affair occurred. But this is not a concern of foreigners alone. Will the men who stoop to such unworthy practices to serve an alien Government shrink from them when their own purposes can thereby be promoted ? How many of these Policemen in plain clothes are on duty in the English Debating Societies of the metropolis? How many Policemen are from time to time taken off their regular duty when friends of the Minister for the time being de sire to have somebody watched ? The truth ia, that this " Detective Police system"—this practice of sending Policemen in plain clothes everywhere, to report on everything and everybody, is increasing to an intolerable extent. You cannot elbow a stranger of pretentious, questionable gentility, at any labile place, without having uneasy misgivings that he le a Policeman in the disguise of a gentleman. It is for the Rate-Payers of the metropolis to put on end to this nuisance. They are entitled to say— We pay, and pay liberally, for a Police to maintain security of person and property. We 6nd from sad experience that we frequently cannot obtain the services of the Policemen for whom we pay so heavily when they are wanted. And we find that a number of the Police are systematically withdrawn from the teak of protecting our shops, pockets, and persons, and set to discharge political duties. We think it very hard that Mr. Inspector This or That should be jaunting about in Belgium, gathering up political news f'om political quidnunce, for the illumination (or mystifica tion) of Downing-street and the Tuileries, end all at our expense, though his absence from London allows the swell mob to run riot. We want the Police, for whom we are taxed so heavily, to keep the houses at Notting-hill safe from burglars, to prevent brawls in Ratcliff-high way and garotte robberies in St. James's-square. We cannot spare them for the political service of Government. Government has indeed been of late emulating the Governments of the Continent as a patron of science, literature, and the arts ; and perhaps it may incline to go further in its imitative career, and keep a Political Police because they do so too. But, if Govynnsent a ill indulge in 'itch a costly folly as a Political Police, let it openly ask the funds wherewith to do it from Parliament, not sneakingly steal the services of our Thief-catching Police. If the Rate-Payers of London will but speak out earnestly on the subject, they may be certain that the police travellers in quest of political informa tion—whether in this Island or on the Continent— will speedily be recalled to attend to their more appropriate duties. And they need have no fear that their resistance to the misappropriation of their thief-catchers will lead to the establishment of a recognised Political Police. The French Political Police are sufficiently repulsive, but the English quasi-political Police are still more disagreeable animals. They combine the vulgarity of the area sneak with a snobbish hankering after such decora tions as they have seen at the buttonholes of their French political brethren. In 1819 the employment of the EDWARDSES, OLIVER., and CASTLESES roused a perfect hurricane of national indignation. In 1821 the collectors of garbage for the " green-bag" emptied on the table of the lions* of Lords, in the ease of Queen CAROLINE, were equally odious. The English people will not tolerate the permanent in regimentiog of the EDWARDEES, OLIVER., and CASTLESES of our day. They are already more than sufficiently nauseated with the number of foreigners who have been admitted into the Metropolitan Police, with the fraternisation between mouchards from Paris and the borers of gimlet-holes in draw ing-room doors, in Scotland-yard; and with the ostentatious attentions of the whole tribe of Mr. Inspector BUSHELL to the foreign female witnesses in the case of Dr. BERNARD. MR. 188111111' 8 APPLICATION OP LORD CLARENDON'S DISPATCH. The Opinion of Turin makes the following com ment upon Lord Clarendon's despatch of the 29th December, instructing Sir James Hudson to suggest to the Sardirdan government that it should miss an objection to the legality of the capture of the Cagliari,—the same despatch which Kr. Erskine has been censured for investing with a more positive and efficacious character than his official superiors areatyresent disposed to avow : "Thu document does not require mazy comments ; its Moor is so explicit, the language in which it is expressed is so pigs and forcible as to preclude all uncertainty, and ob• elate the possibiliii of say doubtful interpretation. The minister who dictated this despatch was manifestly imbued with the persuasion that the Cagliari not having been cap tared within the l; nits of the Neapolitan juris diction, had not been legally captured, and that the Pledmontese govetansent bad, therefore, a right to protest against that capture. If the Earl of Clarendon had not had such a persuasion he would have confined himself to desiring the Eug'ish envoy at Turin to ark the opinion of the Sardinian government, sad would not have added all those observations wlack simoniguiy that request in the despatch referred to. To say that the surrender of the Cagliari to the Neapolitan frigates was a voluntary act of her captain, is, in the judgment of Lord Clarendon, ' a mockery and an abuse of terms. The Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs in England could not have spoken more clearly. The despatch of the 29th December attests, then, in an indubitable manner, the fact that the British govern ment was convinced that the capture of the Cagliari had been illegal, and that therefore that government then con tended on behalf of the same opinion which has since been de veloped with so much dignity and firmness by °aroma Minister of Foreign Affairs. Now from the month of December 1857 to the month of April 1858, things have not been in the least changed ; the facts which were true then are still true now, and have only the corroboration of soma additional proof ; and the manner in which they were regarded by the British government could not be changed without leaving room for suppositions which we cannot admit, and which we even abstain from pointing out. The error of copying which has been so much talked about, and wbich in reality, instead of being an error, is tha only logical interpretation that could possibly have been put upon Lord Clarendon's dispatch, cannot and ought not to have any influence upon the resolu tions of the English government to such an extent as to make It alter] its views upon a question of the law of nations, the settlement of which in accordance with the principles of equity is of the highest importance to the dignity and safety of all the maritime states of the world."

CATITAL PAWL ONi MULLING DAL .' TAMA; APRIL 145. Adialliong OM payeasat, MN; aft by alma debts, 919; 1014 Mao EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (snow ova owx PARIS, FRIDAY EYZNIXO. I am sorry to say that the public is about to be shut out from half—and that the best half—of the Tuileries gardens. A line is to be drawn from the iron gate facing the Rue 29 millet to a point on the opposite aide, where a corresponding gate will be made abutting on the quay. Ihe gates on either side of the gardens near the Pavilions de Fiore and de Marsan will be closed, and all the space between them and the line above mentioned will be added to the reserved garden. The new space thus appro priated will be laid out u • jordin d rAnglaise, and the view of the palace will be shut out by clumps of trees; so that the Emperor and Empress and the Imperial Prince may take exercise under their windows without being stared at by the people. It is natural enough that they should wish to do so, but the new scheme is a great innovation upon the very system with regard to royal palaces which the French have heretofore made it their boast to contrast with that followed in Eng land. The mutilation of the Tuileries will certainly be very unpopular. Till 1830 the public were allowed to walk up to the very windows of the palace. Louis Philippe made the present reserved garden, but that is only a narrow strip of ground of which the public have almost the full enjoyment, because it is only cut off from the rest of the ground by a low iron railing, which they lean over to look at the shrubs and flowers. Moreover, Louis Philippe always allowed the public to walk through the heart of the palace (the Pavillon de l'Horloge) to the Place du Carronsal. Nevertheless a con siderable stir was made about the encroachment upon popular privileges. Tongues are not so free as they were then, but people will only think the more. It is very doubtful whether the Emperor is well advibed in making the Tuileries a more com fortable private residence by destroying its national and traditional character. The works have already commenced. The famous terrace, which runs parallel with the Seine, is to be levelled between the new line of demarcation and the Pavillon de Fiore. This moaning at eleven o'clock crowds of people were =need at seeing the little Imperial Prince in the reserved garden, scooping up sand with a wooden spade, and piling it in a go-cart drawn by a footman. In time coming his imperial highness will play in private. The King of Wurtemberg, whose approaching visit to Paris has been spoken of, will leave Statt gardt on May 13. The Queen of Holland will, it is announced, leave the Hague on the 19th, arrive at Stuttgardt on the 21st, stay there till May 6, and arrive in Paris on May 10. M. Brogniart, chef d'escadron of artillery, has been appointed by the Emperor to the command of the military mission in Persia. It is worthy of remark that appointments of this kind are now for the first time made by the government. During Louis Phi lippe's reign the French officers who accepted ser vice in Persia were 'track out of the army list. The Chalons camp, about the formation of which doubts have been lately expressed, from considera tions of economy, will now, it is said, consist only of troops of the line. M. A. Hausmann, formerly chancellor of the French legation in China, is appointed French consul at the Cape of Good Hope. The Bourse has been heavy throughout the day.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.—THIS DAY. The court wee opened thin morning at ten o'clock, The Lord Chief Justice them proceeded to sum up the thee to the jury. Hie lordship commenced by observing that they now approached the conclusion of the sole,, Inquiry that had been so long under discussion He and his learned brethren were much pleased with the attention the jury had paid to the case. They had been suffer ng privations—debarred from the society of .their faceilie s Le rit they had most cheerfully performed the important duty that devolved upon them, and they cordially felt that when a man's life was at stake, no sacrifice of personal conveni en was too great to be made. They had heard that the pri. sonar would have the bandit of all the points of law that had been found in his favour, and all they wen called upon to decide was upon the fact whether the pri. sonar was guilty of being concerned in the attempt to arse*. nate the Emperor of the French. Technically he wan charged with the murder of Nicholas Battle, but the substantial question to be decided by them wee whether the evid ence made out that the prisoner wee concerned in the attempt to assassinate the Emperor. The prisoner was charged se one of her Majesty's subjects, and it appeared that he was reed ing in this country, and enjoyed the protection of its laws; and he must remind them that he was not charged with bate g concerned in any act committed out of her Majesty's doing. Mom, but with siding and assisting in add country in the commission of a murder abroad. They must be guided in coming to their decides entirely by the evidence; and he could not help remarking that a great many topics had been introduced into the in quiry by the prisoner's counsel which appeared to him totally irrelevant. They had nothing to do with the proceedings of Lord Palmerston's government or Lord Derby's government, but they were required to say whether, ' upon the evidence, and according to their measures, and their duty to God and to man, the prisoner wee proved to have been guilty of the offence imputed to him. It was not neoeseary for him to do move than to give a brief outline of the circumstances con. needed with the murder. There could be no doubt that Orsini, Pierd, Gomm, and Radio were concerned in the attempt to asessainate the Emperor, but that the plot failed so far as the Emperor was concerned, but a number of per. sou were killed and a hundred and fifty wounded, and that they received no less than five limbed end eleven wounds. These facts did not appear to be disruted ; and he now came to the neer eery evidence. Mr. Taylor, the engineer at Bir mingham, proved that he was employed by Allsop to make six of the grenades that wore the instrument, used for the murder, and he identified one that was shown to him se being one of those six, and he also appeared to identify one of the frogmen* of an exploded shell, as being a portion of a second grenade manufactured by him, end he said it ap. peered to him that there could be no doubt as to this part cd the case. It appeared that since that time Allsop heel been sought but could not be found. The next knees to whom evidence he considered it necessary to refer was Roger, the pelice-ofilcer. its went to the residence of the prisoner, after he was in custody, and he there found the letter of the Ist of January, addressed by Albeit", some other docuroes*, and a pistol. Mrs. Parker, the landlady, a subsequent witness, said, that the door of the prisoner's room was net locked, and the key was always in it. He then observed that there appeared to be some little discrepancy betwem Rogers' evidence and that of the Landlady as to the place who the letter was found, but it appeared to him that this dims pancy was not material, and the only question for the jury was whether the letter was found in the room at all, of this there did not appear to be any reasonable doubt; and the handwriting of the prisoner being upon tlis letter showed that he had reesivcd it. This witness appears to have previously attended a meeting atWylde's,in Leicester. square, at which the prisoner was chairman, and the subject that appeared to have been discussed was the advantage de democratic or a despotic govermnent. With reference* this witness, although an attempt had been made to old some imputation upon him, it appeared to bin that he lid only performed his duty, and he seemed to have acted mew instructions he received from Sir Richard Mayne or ear one acting under him. The learned judge then mid that the letter of the Ist of January was not received se midterm d the fact °attained in it, but that he was aware of the state al mind of Allsop and of his feelings with regard to the Finch Emperor. His lordship then read the letter which referred to the Emperor in the abominable movement of the 2nd d December, and Mao spoke of the withering contempt with which Smith O'Brien spoke of the Queen having kneel " that unconvicted felon." They would say whether the letter did not make out • determination and a with that the Empire should be killed, when the writer distinctly stated is it, " lie (meaning the Emperor) must die, and with him the system which somehow or other be seems mammy if keep up." His lordship then referred to the erideace d the primmer having purchased a large (matey of the material, necessary for making fulminating powder, ad to the proof that those articles were not used fr my pirotographie processes. It was suggested by de counsel for the prisoner that these grenades were no be used for the purpose of assassination but for open warfare, but Mr. Tozer, the gentleman employed in the Floyd Arsenal, proved that such an article had rem been used k warfare to his knowledge, and that they were totally different* any he had ever seen, or to the hand grenades that werenni in ordinary warfare. The next class of evidence to which be ' had to refer was that of Mr. Marshfield MUM with mad le the application for a loan for Allsop, and the proof that is Se result 4,5001. were advanced to that person upon mortgage. , This money came into Albop's possession In October, si the jury would say whether there was any resemble dealt that a considerable portion of it was applied to the impel ' that Orsini and the others had in view. lie then referred ts the evidence of the extreme intimacy between Orsini and tin prisoner, and he said that this intimacy appeared to liew continued down to the period when Orsini left this mare in December. According to the evidence of the Mail Eliza Cheyley, Orders housekeeper, in crossersairetke, Orsini had told her that he intended to go to hely, red dis appeared to be relied on as proof that he had ems Medi connexion with that country rather than any 'statical assassinate the Emperor of the French. His lordship the referred to the evidence relating to the paseports, sad be sal it was clear that Orsini had gone to Paris with a pm/sport thd had been given to Alleop, and that he tramiled twee the name of Allsop. He next came to the did** d • very important witness, de Oeorgi, who was maple** carry the grenades to Brussels ; and be raid the jury wed ' have to decide whether the articles which the prisocerrept mated to be gas irons were not, in point of fact, the leant Mints that were made use of at Paris on the 14th of Jar by Orsini, Pierri, and the others. He would not state bit opinion of the credit to be given to this witness dal" for the jury ; bat he mug say that ho oould not see my ter dm this withers could have for not speaking the ltall, that he appeared to have given his testimony with hkent Kof ll th an e d can d or.u t . e . te I T I a tr came to c the evidencetheevidenceat Y. afi Soiree, and he appeared to think that the grenade. retold to him, and which was one of chops found at Pa ris sew *I attempt, was not of the same character as t hose be had eta ieldr zgheeeh, in his cafe at Brussels, and which had been taken there/ff Georgi.
