repression. Colonel Thom*, sr lAushly
resentfully as a man will do whose friend has been
brutally murdered in the presence of his wife at
noontide on the Queues highway, urges some
prom* of Lynch Law which would enable the
local *agistracy to hang the suspected within
three days; and Lord Nis, who was once Tory
Secretary for Ireland, with less excuse talks of
" deluging the district with police." Such rough
and vindictive remedies do not, of course, touch
the real seat of the disease. Not by such barba-
rous methods can the terrible sore be healed.

RUSSIA AND POLAND,
The Debats of this day says :
The order of the day of the Lieutenant-Governor of War-
saw which satisfied in part the demands at the archbishop,
end a dispatch spoken of ea clficial, which denies that any
domiciliary visit has taken place amoopt the superior offi-
oers of the Rankin garrison, attract the attention of the
public to Poland and the Russian empire, as much as Mexico
and Hesse had diverted it from them. According to the
intelligence which we receive from Russia, it is difficult
to refuse any longer to credit that an underground current
of opinion is at work in the Russian army ; that men's minds
are there agitated; that the sub-lieutenants promoted
within the last few rats, and Ilb3 the youngest of the asp-
tains and the superior officers, are become the objects
end the agent. of a liberal propagandism, well or
tag understood, but as active as it is mysterious.
If it be well considered that, the history of Russia since
Ilia death of Peter the Great is little more than the
Wary of it. army, one will be able to appreciate the
peek, as regards the future destinies of this vast empire,
of any change which takes place in the political Ideas of
the corps of officers.
The Lieutenant-Governor of Warsaw has pub-
lished the following decree, dated the 17th :
This weak wend persona, belonging for the most pad to
the female sex, and not of the higher clams, have sung
prohibited hymns in different churches. Nearly all
have been arrested on leaving. The greater number
et the faithful took no part in the hymns, and
many sensible persona endeavoured to stop this
scandal. In consideration of this circumrtance, and in
order to avoid giving a refusal to the request of the vane -
table archbishop that be may be entrusted with the care ot
the church, =i-de-asep General Laden,
governor of the kingdom, hem ordered that the police autho-
rities shall Asian tble(tlatinday) evening, and to-morrow"
(Sunday), from milking any attest at the exit of the'
churches for the singing of prohibited hymns, and
that It shall be left exclusively to the elergy'

to influence the public in this matter by persuasion.
however, in 'pits "df this experiment, made solely in com-
pliance with the entreaty of the venerable archbishop,
there shall be again heard in the churches hymns, strophes,
or verses, *high are forbidden, meats will take place on
ifooday, at the doors of the churches, in order to treat
with force those who are deaf to the voiee of persuasion.
"The result of this determination," remarks the
National Gazette of Berlin, "might have been
foreseen. Yesterday evening and to-day no-
body sang hymns in the churches, although they
were well filled. The mot d'ordre bad been given
not to take advantage of the concession made to
the archbishop ; but to-morrow (the 19th) there
will perhaps be fresh conflicts."

THE QUESTION OF ELECTORAL HESSE.
BERLIN, liar 23,
The semi-official Aligemeina Prevesiethe (Stern)
Zeitutig says :
"The Casaa Gazette contains the strange statement
that Count Bernstorff, in reply to an inquiry made
by the minister of Electoral Hesse, declared that
the late military movements of Prussia were
neither particularly directed against Electoral Hesse,
nor intended as a demonstration spinet the
government of that elector►te _

" In view of the real state of things, which speaks
clearly enough for itself, it is hardly necessary to
observe that the interpretation of Count BaraL,
stork's words, as given by the Camel Gordis, is
founded on a decided misunderstanding.
".We are enabled to state that the expressions
used by Count Bernatorff were such that the minis-
ter of Electoral Hesse could not have been left in
any doubt as to the very serious state of affairs, and
the determined intention of the Prussian govern-
ment to bring the conflict in Electoral Hesse to
end."

The following "latest news" in the Plays, im-
portant if true, is of a character to invite the use
of the consecrated expression " with all reserve :"

We hear from London that at the break-up of a minis-
terial ,council Lord Russell expressed to the Spanish
minister his deep regret at the disagreement of the repro.
'mutative, of the three powers in Mexico, and assured him
at the same time that the co-operation of England would
sot be wanting to France should the latter think it neces-
sary to the aooomplishment of her object. The main thing
for Greet Britain, Lord Rummell is maid to have added, was to
do everything to assure the concurrenos of Frown in the
view of eventualities which might arise in the United States'
of America-
The Patrie states that in the cavalry affair in
Mexico mentioned by the Monsieur 300 French
horse put to flight 2,000 Mexican cavalry. It also
says that General Almonte is already at the head of
a body of 6,000 horse, and that many heads of the
greater families in Mexico have joined him.
' There is a report that the An/Wake Maximilian
is coming to Paris. The Pays nays very myste-
timely that "England had certain personal and
teysterious motives for her conduct in the Mexican
affair, which it (the Pays) will not enter into at
present."
A despatch from Mexico of April 24 states that
Almonte's royalist proclamation had produced very
title int in the interior ci,the country.
,• Miramon, the late president of the republic of
Mexico, has embarked at Cadiz for England, whence
pre intends to proceed to the United States.
, It has been prematurely announced in eome of
the French journals that Prince Napoleon was•
inla rented in Paris to-day. He left Naples in the
' cm Jerome yacht for Palermo, where he will
two or three days, and then he proposes to
visit Messina. In all probability he will not be in
France for the next fortnight. The most pro-
voicing uncertainty prevails at present as to the
Rmperor's intentions with regard to Rome. I-
have been assured to-day by an ultramontanist
that General de Goyon frill go back within a month,
the Garibaldian movement in Italy having been
joyfully seized upon as an excuse for postponing
the evacuation of Rome. On the other hand, a
`Milan journal publishes a letter from Naples,
stating that Sir J. Hodson had positively declared
that the evacuation was decided upon " in prin-
ciple," and that Lord Palmerston's recent answer.
`to Mr. Disraeli, when the latter questioned the
existence of a good understanding between France
and England, was, so far as it related to Italy,
nothing else than an epitome of the programme
agreed upon between the two governments.
It has been reported that Said Pacha, after a short
visit to England, would go to a French watering-
place--either Vichy or Plombihres. Rut it is now
said that he has taken a country house in the im- I
mediate neighbourhood of Paris, and that he will
stay there till October. The Viceroy is well ao-
I quainted with Paris life, having been educated at
the Egyptian school here. He has invented a rifled
cannon, which it is rumoured he means to show at
the Landon Exhibition.
