The President has consented at last to include in
his journey Bourget, and will start a day earlier on
this account. The democratic stamp. of the popula-

It is said that a pamphlet on the re-establishment
of the empire in France is on the eve of appearing.
Although the name of the writer is not to be ex-
pressed, the work is attributed to the pamphleteer
who found a subject for merriment in the capture
and Ignominious treatment of the most eminent
men in France on the 2nd of December.

I direct your attention to a petition to the govern-
ment from the Council General of the Herault in
favour of free trade. As the adoption of liberal
icommercial principles is styled in this document a
return towards the system of the empire, it may be
as will to remark that, although Napoleon was in
the habit of sacrificing every other interest to the
political combination of the moment, and aimed at
the ruin of England by his continectal blockade,
theoretically ha approved free trade principles, and
practically he favoured the introduction into France
of raw materials at much lower duties than now
il
exist. As to iron, cast-iron and steel, the tariff at 1
that time as compared with the present :—Rough
castings were free of duty, now they pay 77 fr. per
ton, when it comes from the place where it is pro-
duced; iron in bars then paid 44 fr. per tea, it now
pay. 206 fr., or nearly five times as much; cast-steel
paul 99 fr. per ton ; the duty is now 1,320 fr., or
thirteen times as much. The petition is as follows:

and a lien international imminent met with more digital-

ties—considering that of late years, all the (orris= govern-
ments have of materially modified their tariffs in such a

exam ration of customs duties, and still mote so, absolute '
prohibitions, have had and still retain the inconvenience of
maintaining several raw materials, in very extensive
use, at • very caressive price, to the great detriment,
of agriculture and national manufactures, and the
peat injury of the public consumer; and that for
instence iron, cut-iron and steel, objects of such'
great utility, are thus artificial raised to double the price
which they cost abroad—considering that the high rate of
the French tariff has provoked on the part of foreign go-
vernments reprisal., which are attended with disastrous
effects to several of our moot important manufactures, and
particularly to the wine-growing intereeln-considering
that the memures lately adopted by other nations for the
reduction of the tariffs hive been crowned with success;
that the public prooperity of those nations has been thereby
promised, and that both producer and consumer have rea-
son to congra.ulate themselves on it—espresses its wish
that the customs' tariff should be revised; that commercial
prohibitions should be abolished, and replaced by duties
suitably levied; that excessive duties should be reduced and
brought to • rate which would allow foreign competition
to stimulate French industry ; and that particularly the
duties with which raw materials, including -iron, are
shackled should be reduced, in each • manner as to bring
them to the point at which they were under tFe empire.

A tenons accident occurred on the let, on the rail-
way from Angouleme to Bordeaux. Two trains, one
(ping from La Bustide, the other to Libourne, ran
into each other in the tunnel of Lormont. One was
loaded with materiel, the other consisted of empty
mrriages. Mr. Kenneth Mackenzie, nephew of Mr.
Mackenzie, the contractor, was on the locomotive of
the former. He was thrown with great violence
below the tender, and had both him legs frightfully
'crushed. The workmen in the same train leaped
from the waggons, and escaped unhurt. Mr. Mac-
kenzie was picked up and conveyed to the hospital;
but he died after proceeding a short distance. He
was only twenty-three years of age, and was very
active and intelligent. The accident was caused by
Mr. Mackenzie's train, owing to a mistake of the
signalman, going on the wrong line. The railway
was not injured: it is to be opened to the public fri

friends, to offer you the expression. of oar sentimentoof
sincere and respectful affection. Many of us have visited
your beautiful capital, and remember with pleasure the
tokens of good feeling which they received there, and
which at onee showed the urbanity of the inhabitants and
their sentiments towards us. We are glad of every oppor-
tunity which permits us to testify our gratitude. We pray
Heaven that no event may happen to efface the recollection of
our good relations, or to weaken the bonds which units us.
To that end we use all our efforts. Brethren, we are friends
of peace, we adore in the Creator, the God of peace. We
rejoice above all things in the friendly relations 'listing be•
twern your country and ours, the maintenance of which
appears to us with the help of God, to be our guarantee for
the repose of 'Europe. May France and Great Britain pee-
serve their pacific attitude, and assure the tranquillity of the
world. Brethren we are happy to tell you that our country-
men tee fur the meet part friends of peace. Thanks to the
influence of religian, to the progress of instruction and in-
telligence, to the facilities of communication between na.
lions, to the consequences of constantly increasing commer-
cial relations, the principles of universal fraternity have
taken possession of the public mind. Be assured
that we in no respect share the alarm and jealousy
of thine interested in the maintenance of our military insti-
tutions. As a people we feel no animosity towards any
other people ; we wish to maintain the most panic rela-
tions with them. We therefore thy to you, " Children of

Much activity is noticeable in the French ports
and arsenals. Vice-admiral Catty, inspector-general
of the ships of the line, and General Durbec, in-
spectcr-general of the personnel and materiel of the
naval artillery have arrived at Brest, and com-
menced on the 2nd the review of the corps they are
charged to inspect. Admiral Gourdon, appointed
major-general of the port had also arrived, and been
received with the usual honours.

PARIS, EICNIMT Evarriso.
The Mon Unto' contains a circular of M. de Maupas,
minister of police, to the prefects, with the view of
stopping more effectually the change of residence of
liberated convicts, subjected to the surveillance of
,the police. A considerable portion of those who
' fall under the rigour of these new instructions hay-
ing been political offenders, the circular of the mi-

muy be expedient for the public security to apply
Irobs of this kind rigorously to released criminals;

Ithe temissien of their sentences. _ _

Another trace of the republic is about to disap-
pear. The female head that typified that short-lived
govern= ut, having been driven from the coins, still
held out in the pcstage-stamps; but nnw it is to be
outed from its last place of refuge to make way for
I the effigy of its conqueror. The plates are all ready,
and postage stamps, with the head of Louis Napo-

Bonapartist member of the Legislative Assembly,
who had smuggled himself into the constituent under
the disguise of a democrat, and has procured • seat

Some Italian refugees have been expelled from

I understand that considerable differences prevail
between the general commanding the French army
of occupation at Rome and the ambassador accre-
diated by the President to the Holy See. Whether
this disunion is attributable to the want of harmony
between the mild diplomatic temper ut M. de Ray-
neval and the abrupt peremptory vehemence of
General Genies.% or to a difference of opinion, I am
not • arc, but it has given rise to a report that
the latter will be recalled.
An application had been made by the papal go-
vernment for the re-establishment of the orders of
begging friars in France. When M. Drouyn de
Lhuys was conferring on this point with M. Achille

were beggars enough already in France without the

The return of M. Fould has now made the cabinet

The Marquis de Pastoret dues not seem to have
been behind M. de Larochejacquelin in paying court

grant him an interview.
Among the returned exiles, by fur the lead de-

The Executive Council yesterday discussed the
question of tho revision of the penal code, but came

ROMAN STATES.
THE CASE OF EDWARD MURRAY.

ROME, AVOUsT 27.
The clandestine press has lately been hard at work
here, as we may infer from the fact of a pamphlet of
six closely printed pages being now in circulation,
entitled " English Diplomacy and Roman Liberty,"
chiefly relating to the imprisonment and trial of Mr.
Edward Murray, and the death, looked on in the
light of& martyrdom by the republicans, of an artil-
lery officer named Giuseppe Viola, who distinguished
himself during the defence of Rome by his skilful
direction of the large gun called cannon-naattro, or
monster cannon, in the battery established on Monte
Testaccio. With the exception of this publication
we have nothing new in the Murray are, save a
report that a communication has been forwarded
from this city to Monsignor Amici, papal delegate in
Ancona, informing him that his holiness is disposed
to yield to the demands of the British government,
and give up Murray, on condition of his quitting the
Roman States at once and for ever. This augurs
something like a termination to this long-pending
question, a thing no doubt satisfactory to the British
government, for should the new parliament assemble
without finding the case settled, it would probably
be a source of much trouble to Lord Malmesbury.
With respect to the fate of Murray's fellt.w pri-
soners, it is expected that • few will have to suffer
the extreme penalty of the law. A very extraordi-
nary but not altogether unfounded suspicion is pre-
valent, that the priest party had some of the mur-
derers of Ancona in their pay. A Jesuit, who is
well known, and a curate in the neighbourhood of
that city, are pointed out as having been the pay-
masters, and five assassins are designated u having
been their creatures. The house in which the pay-
ments were made is specified, and other details will
probably transpire, if the government dims not take
steps to bush up so scandalous • revelatoa. Mean-
while it is a rather suspicious coincidence that Clow-
lanti, the chief of the accused, has been all at once
taken into favour by the authorities, has frequent
communication in his prison with the delegate, and
writes to him often.

The festivities of the 15th of August here in Romo
have given rise to some pasquinades, especially with
respect to the trophies of arms in the form of cande.
labra which adorned the front of the French Casino.
