PARIS, Wanxamay Evannro.
The event of the day is the trial of M. Booker be-
ton the Tribunal of First Instance of the Seise. The
meet of this trial has beim a check for the govern-
ment, ethos M. Bocher has been condemned only to
a Inc of NO francs, without imprisonment; and the
two astpisph who were indicted with hint on the
SIM shims of distributing publications without the
sews of printer being attached, were sentenced
to a fine of 130 fr. This slight punishment is in fact
equivalent to an acquittal, and is accepted as a
triumph by the Orleanists. M. Bocher was intro-
duced between two gendarmes, and made to sit on
the same bench which is occupied by com-
mon felons. lie made an excellent and mo-
derate speech on his own behalf. But the oration
of M. Odilon Ilarrot in his defence has made
a prodigious impression. M. Barret spoke with great
energy and vigour. lie said that M. Bocher had,
performed his duty. He was bound to distribute the,
publication in question, not only as a defence against
a moat unjustifiable invasion of the rights of pro-
pirty, but us the protest of filial piety against the
memory of an outraged father. Tho latter expres-
sion alludes to the letter of the princes. Tho deli-i
beration lasted for two hours and a half. The length
of this sitting was attributed to the circumstance that
the court sent to the ministry of poll() to know if
the trial would bo allowed to be published in the
newspapers. Leave was given ; hence we may ex-
pect the appearance of M. Barrot's speech in the
journals of to-morrow.
The Aloniteur contains a decree, which adds a
fresh proof of the resolution of the Prince President
to go through with the decree confiscating the pro-
petty of the Orleans family. A portion of the spoil,
you may remember, was devoted to the creation of a
military medal, with an annuity of 100 francs. We
now learn that this decoration is to bear the effigy
of Louis Napoleon, with the device of " Valour and
Discipline." Perhaps the appearance of this decree
was timed to coincide with the trial of 31. Bocher,
in order to remind the army of its portion of the
ePeil-
Great disgust has been produced to-day by • dis-
graceful attack upon Caviuguac, by M. de Cessna, in'
the Public. Speaking of the republican games
election, M. de Cesena says: "that if Ocooral Gyp
vaignac should raise himself from deputy to rebel,
the chastisement is ready." This coons moon is
branded by public contempt.
The Assemblee Nationek contains an important
article upon the Swiss question. It appears from
this, that the cabinet of Vienna distinctly notified to
the federal council the intention to occupy the canton
of Ticino with Austrian troops, unless the demands
for the expulsion of certain refugees were complied
with, and guarantees given for preventing their re-
turn, as well as the renewal of conspiracies against
the peace of Lombardy. Prince Schwarzenberg sent
instructions to M. Hubner, the Austrian ambassador
at Paris, to propose to the French government a
simultaneous action in the manic views, and the occu-
pation of Gomm sod the canton of Vaud by the
French troops. Misgovernment of Louis Napoleon de-

public opinion in Italy, which is represented by So
liberal government of Sardinia, and the influence of
Great Britain at Turin. Upon these moral and
political supports alone rests the cabinet of MIL
d'Azeglio and Cavour, the fall of which would be
the signal for the subjugation not only of Swum,-
land, but of Piedmont and the whole Italian mis-
sals, to the tyrannous league of France and Amide.

PIEDMONT.

The Garth, of the 28th contains decrees accepting
the resignation of M. Deforests, Secretary of State
for Ecclesiastical Affairs and of Justice. He is suc-
ceeded by M. Gsbarium, who at the same time re-
signs the post of Minister of the Interior, in which
office he is succeeded by M. Perroti de Mime. Count
Cavour, Minister of the Navy, Agriculture, and
Commerce, becomes Minister of Finance, and the
ministry formerly held by him is suppressed, and its
different departments are assigned to various minis-
ters. The clerical papers assure the public that
M. Drffisesta's retirement is the result of dissensions
existing between him and his colleagues respecting
the laved civil marriages, which has been brought
before are chambers. The object of this law
is to establish in Sardinia that which al-
ready exists in Belgium, France, and almost every
catholic state, the obligation to celebrate the
civil contract implied in marriage before the
religious ceremony which draws down neon it the
benediction of the church. Our private advice, assure
us that no difference of opinion exists between M.
Deforests and his colleagues upon this point. That
minister never proposed more than a temporary pos-
session of office, and now retires, not from political
motives, but frog ill-health. The King has con-
ferred upon him the cross of commander of the order
of St. Maurice and Lazarus.

The session of the Senate and Chamber of Deputies
for 11132 opens this day, so that the interval of the
two sessions will have been lees than a week.
LOMBARDY.

A Milan letter in the Opinion* of Turin of the
25th, shows that the Austrian authorities have com-
menced towards English travellers that system of
petty. annoyance whichwas threatened in the note
of Prince Schwanenberg to Count Buol-Schauenstem.
The letter states that the police had received orders
to exercise the strictest surveillance over English
travellers. It was with great difficulty the latter
could obtain passports, and, with rare exceptions,
they were not to be permitted to sojourn more than
24 hours in Lombardy.
