about half of the while number. It is intended, it
is said, to form ask of the galley prisoners as may
have conducted themselves well, and are of a good
constitution, into agricultural colonies. This account

whole story is at variance with the latest reports in

GERMANY.

In the sitting of the Germanic Diet on Jan. 21,
Lord Granyille's note, in answer to the application
of the Diet on the subject of the refugees, was pre-
sented. We have already indicated the general tenor
of this document. It is thus summarised by a foreign
contemporary :
The British government has received from different sides
complaints of the conduct of the political refugees at present
in England, and has been requested to put a stop to their
ings. According to the English law the tight of
ro°sepei:adlity is inviolable, as long as they who profit by it re-
, main within the bounds of legality. The government of
the Queen, although not having any intention to propose to
parliament changes in the laws which concern refugees, is,
however, obliged to admit that the refugees have eceasioa-
ally abused the hospitality vouchsafed to than. The go-
weariest will endeavour to oppose a barrier to their inn
gularities ; and, on its side, it expects that her Majesty's
subjects, who are not suspected of any malpractices, shall
not be any longer disquieted in the territory of the Confe-
deration.
