fas political exiles in Jersey, who signed the
protest against the expulsion of the three gentlemen
conneeted with the journal L'Homme, have in their
turn been ordered to quit the island before the 2nd
of November. What aim have they committed P
They have said in 1836 what Sir CRADLES Woon,
the Duke of Newc9s2l.2, and Sir Jams Oz•n•re
said in 1861, whoa they were Cabinet Ministers.
The protest signed by the Jersey political exiles is
mainly en:histericial Mena of the events of the revolu-
tion ellected at Paris by the cow cretai of the2nd of Dec-
ember, 1861. The phraseology employed to describe
these events is not over-courtly, bat neither wee the
language of the Ministers and journalists we have
named. The Ministers and journalists have ceased to
speak dames events, beams they believe that France
has acquiesced in the Government founded on the
cow Vise : and breams they think that is the
general merits of the reign of Auourrus compen-
sated in • great manner fee the questionable mesas
by which he artainod to power, the reign of Miro-
Lam lU. may compensate foe what is indefensible
in the cow (NM. The Jersey political exiles con-
tinue to hold the same lump as they have ever
held, because they do not believe that Francs hes
acquiesced in the Government of the cow driest, and
beaus they do not hops that the benefit@ oonlerred
on their country by that Government will compen-
sate for the vices of its original title. Of them
two dissentient views, which is ehareeteriesd
by most of sagacity and practical prudence
we are not now called upon to decide.
Enough that • man may entertain and =-
prom either of them without imputation to
his moral rectitude. If the press is free in this
country, sash difference of opinion is a legitimate
subject of discussion. To pariah men for mein-
bluing either the one or the °thee side of the ques-
tion is a gross infringement of the liberty of the
Prsoa

We shall be told that the discussion was curried on
by the Jersey political exiles in language of sensor♦

which we arein intimate aliases, that alliance may be
placed in peril." Was not the sauce person chief ma-

spark of English generosity and courage in the
Insets of oar Ministers the maze answer would have

There are good ground@ for believing that the
French Orrerament has demanded the expaleila of
the Jersey exiles from our Ministers, sad that, in-
stead of summing as they ought to have dose, they
have esseplied with the demand as far as they weld.
