LONDON, TUESDAY, OCT. 2& Tuc Premien Alliance, as a political °omission, is perhaps a little undervalued in England ; but . . ou the banks of the Rhine it is abundantly evident that the English alliance is in high favour. We cannot pretend to be surprised at the cordial feel ing of the population in those parts towards a country that supplies more consumers to the titbits dltZt , between Cologne and 3laycnce than all the continent of Europe. There are many thousand mobil reasons why the Gnat Briton abroad, with his ample pockets. his "Murray," and his letter of credit rimtd by that undeniable plenipotentiary, " Corrrs," should be held in honour, and his substantial virtues be treated with sympathy and I respect. In many of the Rhenish towns there is a resident English community, not of social re fegees whose way of life is problematical, but of coruervative, respectable, and solvent families. At Bonn, for 'sample, there is always a snug little British colony, with its chaplain and other domestic institutions. When the happy union between the royal families took place, the iteletsoluble friendship of Germany and England became quite a sentiment among poetesses and hotelkerpers. It was felt that, for the future, the Prussian navy would be foremost in the defence of England, and the British army ever ready to pro tect the frontier of the Rhine. In speech, in song, in floods of sour beer, the fruit• of this auspicious royal and national alliance wen celebrated. This autumn the sentiment has beeome almost a fact. Planted at Coburg and watered at Coblente, this Anglo-Prussian " idea " had struck its roots far and wide in the German Fatherland, until the A ~,i 4u, r y Oa:44es in • fine frenzy beheld a British fleet fighting the battles of Austria in the Adriatic, and the Prussia,' Gutte overheard Baron St 111.1.!NITZ damming with Lord Jaws itt NIEL!. the terms of a new Coalition. How sad it seems that all this sentiment and all this policy, so dear to the German official mind, should be rudely traversed by • ruffianly railway inspector, and an unmannerly public prosecutor, in the very heart of the Anglo-German country—at Bonn ! It may be that we are the dupes of ignorant prejudice, and that the unpleasant incidents circum stantially related in • letter which we publish this morning are in some esoteric German sense in accestable to dull British souls, a mautier our Rhenish allies have devised of impressing upon Englishmen the advantage of " cordial relations" with a Genuan Poser. According to t h is in terpretation, when the Crown Prosecutor at Bonn insulted England in open court, he was really assert ing with characteristic subtlety the independence of the Prussian Goverment, and raising the price of its alliance. The foul-mouthed lluut.it was demonstrating that the favour of Prussian courtesy was woith paying fur. We are Pa obliged to Herr Moues. for his judicial demon stration : public opinion in England will no doubt take it to heart. At present, however, we are in terested in the curious aspect• of Penman justice, in its relations to what we call in England "the " liberty of the subject." Prussia we know has lately been administering a polite lecture to the Cabinet of Turin on the county of governments, and the rights of sovereigns, and is st_tually defend ing the cause of European civilization at Warsaw. Let as see how this enlightened Power regards the rights of the stranger within her gates, if indeed an En.,, , lialiman may consider himself • stranger at Bonn. The case, as it is described by our Corre spondent, for whose authority we can vouch, is simple enough. A British subject wee drag out of a railway carriage, imprisoned, and fined, not for any offence he had committed, but for an courage he had suffered. In a court of justice the public preeecutor not only insults the victim of this outrage, but Engbahmen in general, and the very nuine of England. The British resident.' in Boun very properly resent this deliberate anti official insult to their nation, and publish • pnitest against it. Will it be believed that for tine protest a state prosecution haa Leen formally commenced against our countrymen t The siren of this English protest are charged with and threatened with tine and imprison ment, for havnigplard upon record, in grave and funnel language, a statement of facts supported Ly witneasea. The libel with which our country men are charged is nothing more nor less than a recital of the uisultiag language of the titate-Pro secator, against which it protests. This insulting language is not denied : it is the subject of an official inquiry by the Prussian Government. But the' inquiry is secret, and while the result is um.. deanded, the Ntate-Prosecutor female, in Whoa, and the complainants against him are accused of libel for having published the declarn tnm on which the ini,uiry was professedly based. To this flagrant contempt of the sit , iplest &anons of justice our countrymen raised the preliminary objection that "DO • prosecution arising out of a previous matter of " complaint could be heard until the previous " matter was disposed of." Hut in Rhenish Prussia an objection of this hind was of no avail. said the complainants found themselves by a 1.! 4.. iu:igieterill summons turned into culprit]. Thu liriti,h Ambassador, who, wonderful to relate, appears to have or two to spare from the pistil duty - el protecting countrymen, has defended that the witnesses to the facts which doniditited the " hbel" shoidd be examined on ipint mint "Analteriit Mena the mat ter mete. Our countrymen meanwhile have been harried by vexatious examinations, as if they had committed treason against the State. No day has been fixed for their trial ; and in all probability the prosecution will be abandoned. But the matter ought not to rest here. The offence with which these Englishmen are charged consists in having vindicated the character of their country, outrageously insulted in open court by law officer of the Prussian crown. Instead of redress, they are threatened with penalties, and the State-Prosecutor escapes under the cloud of a counter-accusation. Such is law, justice, international courtesy, in this model German State, with which, as all the world knows, Great Britain entertains the most cordial rela tions. We need hardly point out to our readers the obvious oyrfuteris of a sojourn in Rhenish Prussia. But we may be permitted to suggest that if those highly ornamental and cosmopolitan young gentlemen in the diplomatic line, who are kind enough to daily with high politic, and to be distinguished in private theatricals, at Berlin, and to figure in the suite of royalty at Goblents, for the good of their country, would condescend to make themselves occasionally useful, here is an admirable opportunity of giving public opinion a reason for their existence. CAPTIVITY AT GAtrA. —We have great pl e asure in being again able to publish a letter from uur special correspondent withGaribuldi's army. It is dated, as will he seen, the day after his release frum captivity, and is the first authentic account we have received of the circumstances under which he was made prisoner. It is understood that Mr. Frederick Peel will be the uew Secretary of the Treasury, in the room of Mr. S. Laing. The acceptance of this office does net render re-election neoesaarf. Ebt Coutt.

"On the arrival of the King I will depose in his hands the dictatorship conferred upon me by the nation. "The Pro-Dictators are charged with the execu tion of the present decree. " Caserta, Oct. 15."

"0. GARLIALDL THE FRENCH GO' AND THE lILTRAMONTANE PRESS. The following is the passage which is said to have more particularly caused the suppression of the Gazette de Lyon :—" To what school of politica do you belong I Do you desire that we should tell you 1 Well, then, your ideal is Cresariam—that is to say, that degrading despotism which originated in those days when the Roman empire, rotten with vice, submitted to • master, and substituted for its ancient liberty the caprice and sovereign will of a tyrant, tempered by equality of slavery, by laws of spying, and of treason, and employments at court. Down with masks !" oars cosaurocussr.) PARIS, MONDAY Emma. The Cousiilationnel oontains, on the subject of Baron de Hubner's alleged mission, the following ambiguous paragraph, signed by M. Gmndguillot For some days past there has been circulated with syste matical persistency a statement that Austria had decided on interfering is Italy. One journal has even spoken of a kind of secret mission said to have been con&led to as old diplomatist for the purpose of bringing about some explan ation from the French government as to the hearing which the ma ichiant would attach to such an intervention. It is our duty to put the public on their guard against reports which would be of a nature to mislead opinion and alarm interest& For some time past Austria In her foreign policy has given proof of a reserve and prudence which it would be unjust not to recognise. The eminent statesman who directs the department of foreign affairs at Vienna, knows better than anyone hop much an offensive attitude on the part of Austria might complicate the state of affairs in Italy. A purely defensive one presents moreover too many advantages to the Austrian government for anyone to be lieve that it would readily depart from it. For our part we have the best reasons for thinking that this is the line of conduct which it has adopted, and from which it will not swerve. It will be observed that this note studiously ' avoids repeating the denials of the Patric and Pays that Id. de Hubner has a mission in France. In deed, the natural inference from the language used would be that M. GrandguiUot knows both the fact of the mission and the exact nature of it ; for he somewhat modifies the statement of the Courrier du Ilintanche, which was that M. de Hub ner had oome to " prepare" the French government for the news of an Austrian invasion of Italy, and represents the report as being that his task is to obtain "explanations" as to what France would think of such a step, le WA Schema. This being written after two days' time taken for reflection, I infer that unless M. Graudguillot's instructors mean him to mislead the public, M. de Hubner has a mission of the character which be now describes. The Constitutionnel says that its duty is to warn the public against reports likely to " mislead opinion and &tarns interests ;" but since it abstains from saying that the report in question is Untrue, these words must be construed as meaning that France has given Austria good advice and hopes she will follow it. The Constitutiontsel also publishes the following : At the moment when the interview at Warsaw is giving rise to so many oommente, our readers will learn with interest that the Emperor Napoleon has received an auto graph letter from the Czar. We have grounds for mating that, in tins letter, the Emperor of Bemis himself &lime the character of this meeting of emissive in such a manner * al to take from it say hostile signifination aping France. The date of the above autograph letter is not mentioned ; I believe it was received some time ago. The Opinion Nationale observes upon this para graph, that its wording Is more obscure than might be thought at first sight, because nobody supposes that there is a conspiracy at Warsaw against Prance as long as she remains quiesoeut, but the question is, what would be done in case ebe should be obliged to cross the Alps again to defend against Austria the policy which triumphed at Magenta and Solferino. The Patric says that Lord J. Russell has sent a diplomatic note to St. Petersburg explaining the views of the British government ou the Italian question, in which his lordship admits the "abso lute right" of Austria to Venetia, but insists on the principle of non-intervention as to the rest of Italy. The Pays, in describing the note, says nothing about the "absolute right" above men tioned. . The Pattie says that the presence of the two Austrian archdukes in Italy is no indication of . aggressive measures, as they have gone there merely to study the position of the country with a view to defence. Marshal Niel has left his command at Toulouse to pass a short time in Paris. Of course the con jecture is that he has been sent for by the Em pets m. The Emperor will °illy stay a few days at Com piogne this year, and it is said that the Empress will not accompany him thither. The court hunts may therefore be expected to be lees brilliant than iu former seasons. It is believed that M. Jules Gerard is the winner of the Emperor's prize gun at Vincennes, but the official report of the committee will not be known for some days. M. °Mimi, the Belgian who is supposed to have gained the 10,000 fr. prise, spent no lees than 1201. In &hole, at the rate of lfr. each. At the Bonnie the Rent. row a little in the morning, owing to the Grendguillot article, but the impression produced, it enema, was of short duration.

Iu rrilway shares there was little change. The following incident shows the hitter feeling l' which at present inlets between the French and Papal , courts. General de Goyon, iii presenting General Comm , don and the other officers of the French division which recently arrived at Rome, was about to offer a compliment to the Pope, when the latter cut him short, and ordered the presentatious to be forthwith proceeded with. A report of the 3fiunder of War of the King of Nap's.; on the battle of the Volturno has just Leen mite baked. According to this document, the royalists were the conquerors. The King's troops are declared to have simply wished to reconnoitre the positions of the enemy, and that object they attained. With like reesoniup it would Le ' easy to prove that no one was ever beaten. A Constantinople letter, iu the Messager du Midi, says : ---"The luisnelerhaersim (lady treasurer) of Om imperial !niece has just expired. She leaves an immense fortune, estimated at 150 millions of plattres, the whole of which falls to the Sultan. Although a slave, she possessed great influence in the palace, and her name has often Leen mixed up with ministerial intrigues, bier fortune is quite a god-seud to the Sultan, who wu on the point of sending his plate to the mint." A correspondent at St. Petersburg writes " Soon after the war in the Crimea, a general census of the population was begun throughout the Russian empire ; it Is now completed, and gives the following results :—The total population is 79,000,000. The number of females exceeds that of males by 1,750,000. The lower orders, serfs, petty traders, and annum, kink a total of 153,500,000; the nobles and the higher guilds of traders shout 1,003,000. The nobles still possess 21,000,000 serfs. The population of Siberia, including the wandering tribes of Kaman, Astra kali, and Orenburg, is 4,000,050." AItRAIIIIINATION AT Roses.—On Sunday butt, at about the hour of noon, is the Via del One. a broad and frequented street leading out of the Corso, a priest named Literati issued from the church at the altar of which he had just off! :listed. A man came up to him and stabbed bhp UMW' the short ribs. Eleven inches of the knife, as I ant assured, entered the unfortunate man's body. It was enough, and to spire, for the accomplishment of the deadly purpose. The murderer left the knife sticking in the wound and lied. l'p to the present time no news of Isis capture him reached me, and it seems to be co n sidend probable that he will not be discovered. It is believed to be a vendetta, a murder for revenge. (In such minden' the bystanders are very slow to arrest an assassin, because they fear the vengeance of hie relations upon say wise should be the means of bringing him to justice. attribute to a similar motive the usual inefficiency of bu tt ' police in such cases ; but, be this as it nav, it is certain that crirniaels et ta ass nay dna remade undetected.

The Paris correspondent of the Indipeadance Beige wore :—"lt is alleged that the French Emperor has addressed an autograph letter to the Emperor Alexander, expressing his surprise at the distrust of him which the meeting of tbe nove -1 reigns at Warsaw would seem to imply, and pro testing his devotion to the cause of order and _ _ conservatism. I shall not affirm that a letter of this kind has been actually written, but I have positive information that language of this import was used both by the Emperor and M. Thouvenel to M. de Kisseleff before the latter left Paris. His Majesty is said to have added that in any case he did no fear the coalition, but that he would not believe in it. It is reported at the same time that the Emperor asked Lord Palmerston to come to Paris, in order to arrive at an explicit and definitive understanding as to the means of consolidating the Anglo-French alliance.

"It is within the scope of every man's intelligence that Europa is very far from being in a norn.al state, or one suitable to its populations. " France, which holds beyond contradiction the first rank among the continental powers, maintains six hundred thou sand radian under arms, one of the first fleets in the world, and an immense number of government officiate for its in ternal security. "England has not the same number of soldier', but a superior fleet and a Verger number, perhaps, of officials for the security of its distant possessions. " Russia aid Prussia, for maintaining their equilibrium, require also to keep in pay immense armies. " The secondary States—were it only from a spirit of imi tation and to keep up appearances—are obliged to keep themselves propotiimately on the same footing. " I shall not speak ci Austria and the Ottoman empire— both coodenined to decay for the happiness of the uuturtie nets populations they have been oppressing for so many ages. " Lastly, it may with reason be asked : Why this agitated and violent state of Europe! Every one speaks of civiliza tion and progress ! It seems to rue that we differ little— putting luxury out of the question—from those primitive times when men contended for rapine. We pass our lives in continually and mutually threatening one another, whilst in Europe the great majority not only of ordinary but of superior minds untleNtand very wall that this poor life of man might surely be passed better than in this constant state of menace and hostility, and without studying to kill one another scientifically. " Let us frame a supposition. Let us suppose Europe to form only one state. Who would think of disturbing its unity? To whom would the idea occur, I ask, of disturbing the peace of Europe—this sovereign of the world On this supposition there would be no longer any army or Beet, and the immense sums diverted forcibly and almost invariably from the wants and misery offthe peoples, to be lavished on sanguinary and unprofitable services, would be con verted to its use by a colossal development of industry—to the improvement of roads, the con struction of bridges, the cutting of meals, the founds thin of public establishments, and the building of schools, to rescue from wretchedness and ignorance so many poor crea tures, who in every country of the world, whatever their stage of civilization, are condemned to the degradation and prostitution of soul or body by selfish maladministration un the part of the privileged and powerful clamed. "Well I the realisation of the social reforms I mentioned depends simply on a powerful and puree= initiative ; for, 1 ask, under what circumstances has Europe offered a better chance of meow for these benefits to mankind? " Let us examine the situation in which Europe is at this moment : Alexander 11. proclaiming in Ramie the emancipation of the serfs ; Victor Emmanuel, in Italy, throwing his sceptre as, gage upon the field of battle, and exposiag his life for the regeneration of a noble race and a gre. nation ; in England, a virtuous Queen and s generous, wise nation, enthusiastic io the cause of oppressed nationali ties ; lastly, France called to be the arbiter of Europe by the compactness and unity of its cowsentrated population, the valour of its soldiers, and the recent glory of the moat lrrillisnt period in its military history. " Who, then, is to take the initiative in this great work! Who but the country that marches in the van of the rem- lution! "The idea of a European confederation—projected by the Chief of the French empire, awl which would spread security and happiness throughout the world—is it not Lotter thau all these political combination that daily Has meat and agitate this poor people I " The thought of the atrocious destruction which would be occasioned by a single combat between the great Western Powers—ought to fill with terror any one who should oven imagine it, and probably there will never be • coward so audacious as to take upon himself the frightful responsibility of it. The rivalry that has existed between France and Eng land from the 1-Ith century to our time still exists, but at the present day with infinitely less intensity, and we state this for the glory of human progress ; so that a transaction between the two greatest nations of Europe, a transaction having for its object the weal of hunamity, au no longer be placed among the dreams and Utopian schemes of sanguine men. • Therefore, the basis of a European confederation is metalling tread out by France and England. Let France mid England frankly and loyally join Lauda, and Italy, Spain. Portugal, Hungary, Belgium, Switserlaml, Greece, and Routnelia will come of their own accord, instinctively I may say, to range themselves around them. "Ire short, all the divided and oppressed nationalities, the He:Livonia, Celtic, Germanic, Scandinavian races—in cluding gigantic Russia—would not choose to remain apart from this politiod regeneration, to which they am salted by the genius of the age. " I know very well that an objection may naturally be raised : What is to be done with these innumerable multi todes of men now employed in the armies tout navies! The reply is easy. Whilst dismissing these multitudes,we should be gettin rid at the same time of aggravating and noxious institutions, and the minds of the sovereigns, ceasing to be occupied with dreams of ambition, conquest, war, and destruction, wield turn to the creation of useful institu- Hots, and would demend from the study of generalities to that of the interests of families, and even of individuals. "Besides, by the growth of industry, and the severity of trade, the mercantile navies would instantly absorb all the active pert of military navies ; and the incalculable quantity of works created by peace, association, and security would engross all this armed population, even were it double its present numbers. "War being no longer possible, armies would become use less. But that which would not be useless is—to maintain the people in its warlike and generous habits by means of national militias, which would always be reedy to suppress disorders, and any ambition attempting to violate the European compact.

" G. GARIBALDI." GARIBALDI AT A REVIEW. A Claiwets, letter of the lfith says : " This morning, at 6 p.m., Garibaldi reviewed the 15th Division (Ttirr), which is now almost entirely collected Rt. Caserta. The troops were drawn up on the esplanade be fore the palace, where • few moments before the review began Colonel Nara had arrived likewise with a part of the English Brigade, which landed yesterday at Naples. Thy were just in time to be reviewed by Garibaldi. As in hie !Mingo operations, so in his reviews Garibaldi is prompt, Rua quick. Putting his bores in a canter, be galloped along th e ranks, and having done this, he alighted from his horse, and bad all the offi cers called up to form. • circle round him. When they had all come up he said :—' lay old comrades, we have done much in • short time, and I thank you in the name of oar country, of which you have well merited. Convey these my thanks to the soldiers under your comniaud.' Then turning round to the officers of the British Brig:ele, ho continued:—' With pleasure I see round here the repre sentatives of a nation which, from the beginning, has done me much for our cause, which has helped no in every way, and to whose powerful voice we owe it., in a great measure, that the principleof non-iuterventionhastieen upheld, which is our safety." Then, turning to the officers of the Hun prism Legion, he said —' As for our bravo If virinrian comrades, who hare shed their blood for us, wo owe them a large debt of gratitude. Their cause in ours, and to help them in their torn is our moat sacred duty. which w will A seminal cry of ' We will'.' was the rin,wer. Then addressing all in general, he concluded by thanking once more the officers for the faithful way hi which they had supported him. These few words, which take up Hp little VIM on paper, it took considerable time to deliver. Garibaldi, gifted by nature with rare eloquence, had lost his oratorical power through deep emotion, which soon affected all assembled. With that iastiactive magnetism which communicates itself in such momenta, his old cam. pinions of the first expedition, whu formed a great part of these meant, felt that it was a farewell of their chief, sad eye after eye was filled with tears." THE OUTRAGE AT BONN. TO TIM EDITOR OF THE EXPRESS. Bis,—ln a recent leading article of your journal you adverted in strong and just terms to the shameful outrage committed at Bonn last month against an English traveller ; and, connecting it with the attempt made this month by the authori ties of the custom-house to stop and board the Queen's yacht at Cologne, you addressed a whole some rebuke to the country which allowed its officials to be guilty of such misconduct. It remains to be seen what redress for these wrongs, if any, will be given. As far as the royal yacht, indeed, is concerned, a certain kindof redress appeared immediately, in the order, telegraphed from Berlin, that the Fairy might forthwith pro ceed on her way up the 'Rhine unmolested. This order "checked in mid-tire the volley" . . of her impudent assailants, and forced their, in spite of themselves, to remain still. But as to the satisfaction demanded by our countryman for the insults and rough treatment he met with from the railway inspector and his assistants, for the illegality of his six days' imprisonment, for the rude injustice with which the Staats-Procurator, Moller, refused to release him upon bail, and for the fine and costs which he had to pay at the end of a trial in which the only witnorises who appeared were on his side—not a sign of any such satisfaction has yet appeared. A British subject has been made to suffer unjustly in person, in purse, and in loss of time ; and the Prussian inspector, who ordered him to be dragged out of his carriage, still lords it upon the platform, and the Prussian &sets- Procurator, who purposely prolonged his imprison ment, and then at his trial cast foal insult upon his countrymen, still retains the power which he so scandalously abused. An inquiry, indeed, into Moller's conduct has been ordered by the Prus sian government ; but it is conducted in secret, and no man, therefore, can tell whether it is con- ducted fairly. Meanwhile another chapter of this eventful his tory has Leen opened ; and it is right that the British public should be made acquainted with its contents, as far as it has yet ' ad vanced. It will be remembered that the British residents in Bonn felt it their duty, immediately after the trial, to sign and publish a protest against the insult which had been east in open court upon their nation by Moller. For this act the whole machinery of pains and penalties which the Cede Napoleon supplies has been brought to bear against them, and a state prosecution is formally begun. The first indication of such proceedings appeared in two official announcements, signed by Von Ammon, Ober-Procurator of Bonn, on the 21st of September. They were skilfully framed to mis lead the minds of all who were not acquainted with the facts, and proved, not leas by what was left unsaid than by what was said, that Von Ammon was straining every nerve to screen his deputy, Moller. The editor of the Kiibliache Zeitung was asked to insert a temperate and cau tiously worded paragraph, for the purpose of correcting the effect of Von Amnion's announce manta, but declined to do so. On Thursday, the 27th of Sept., summonses were received by all the signers of the protest to appear on the following Saturday before the Uuteriuchings-Richter, to answer a certain unspecified charge. All who were able to obey the summons of course obeyed it, and one by ono wore examined. Those who needed an interpreter had one, but the judge and his secretary were the only other persona present. It will be at once soon to what an untair disadvantage the accused parties were hereby exposed, and how easily men who were only anxious to speak and vindicate the truth might be betrayed, through the interrogatories of a skilful and practised lawyer, into some admiasion which could be con strued iu a sense unfavourable to themselves. They endeavoured, as they beat could, to bear up against these difficulties, and, although they had no legal adviser at hand, they resolutely maintained, as a preliminary objection, what they had been assured by competent counsel was undeniable • viz., that, according to a. 159 of the Strai-ilesetzbuch, no prosecution, arising out of a previous matter of complaint, could go forward until the previous matter was disposed of. The pre vious wetter complained of in the present instance had been Moller's conduct. The Prussian govern ment lied ordered an inquiry into it. The inquiry was not yet ended ; and how could any second pro secution, under such eircueistances, go ou 1 If you wore to see the words of the statute, or to hear the assurances of counsel on the subject, you could entertain no doubt whatever of the validity of the objection thus taken. But objection wait useless; every plea was overruled, and the Englisinueu were told that, instead of being allowed to appear as complainants against Moller, they must now stand on their own defence. Whet, thou, was the charge against which they were to defend theunielveill The chant° of libel, alleged to rest on three passages of their retest ' • and a. 102 of the Straf-Gesetzbuch was cited to show the punishment of tine or ha. prisonment to which the offenders had thereby rendered themselves liable. They answered that they never wished or intended to libel anybody ; that they had only declared facia; that witnesses were at hand to substantiate those facts ; and that, if the witnesses were allowed to give their testimony freely, it would be seen whether each and all of the passages against which exception had been taken were not literally true. They were told that they were at liberty to produce their wit misses. The British Ambassador at Berlin has since formally demanded that the witnesses should be examined on oath in open court ; and here the matter rests at present. Some of the signers of the protest have been examined by the Uutermichings•ltichter a se cond time • and one three or four tunes. Rumours are, inde ed, abroad lhat some of the parties are nut to be tried at all ; and no doubt the government would be glad to escape the odium of a wholesale prosecution of the English. But as all the English men, in the present Jadeite°, have admitted the genuineness of their signature* and their consequent responsibility, I am slow to believe the truth of these rumour". N. day for the trial has yet been declared. The Euglishmen are only anxious that it should come on quickly ; and all that they ask at the hands of their prosecutors is, " A fair field and uo favour."—l am, Sir, yours , &0., Z.
