-40El!RIBEI FROM PARIS.

(nom on owl ocautzerommr.)

PARIS. Fumy Eviamo.

The long preliminarily puffed journal of Vis-
count de la Guerronniere, La ;France, makes its ap-
pearance this evening. For weeks past the walls
of Paris have been covered with a monster placard
setting forth the names of functionaries—almost all
ministers and councillors of state—who were to
write in Kde la Guerronniere's newspaper. This
device for attracting public attention is not
altogether new. I remember that, some years ago,
the Patric put forth very nearly as long s list of
equally great men u forming part of its staff, but
very few of their signatures have ever been seen,
and in practice the work of that journal has been
done by journalists. I venture to predict the same
sober fate for La France. At all events, the
opening number contains no dazzling signature
except that of Senator Guerronniere himself. He
begins with a programme, or profession of faith,
which is in the following words :

To Count Leo do Saint Pony, Redeetent en Chef of

La Prance.

My dear Sir,—The journal which I and my friend.. have
founded, must, above all thiogs, have a policy, and it
cannot play any useful part except upon the condition of
maintaining that policy with firmness after having adopted
it from conviction. lam about to propound that policy
which appears to me most conformable to the interests of
the country and the principles of the Emperors govern-
ment. I shall indicate the leading heads only. The
eminent writers, whose labours it will be your duty to
direct, will imbsequently develop these ideas in their
daily articles. My friends and myself know wh►t we may
expect from their talent and your loyal and enlightened
onopention in the defence of ideas to which the creation
of Ls Frame assures a devoted organ.—Affectionate com-
pliments, A. DE i. Gump:mut;
Senator.

M. de la Guerronnikre's personal importance is,
as you know, derived from the fact of his having
been on more than one occasion the chosen amanu-
ensis for imperial pamphlets, and for a long time
Censor of the Press. His journal will carry no
weight except in so far as it may be supposed to be
inspired by authority. His talk of "firmly main-
taining a policy of conviction" is mere idle breath.
He can no more do that while the system of
warnings, suppressions, &c., continues, than any
other journalist.
He professes, however, now to be the opponent
of a party formed in the bosom of imperialism,
which, in his words, contemplates "the alliance of
despotism and revolution in a popular and military
monarchy." He and his friends, on the contrary,
want
a "liberal and conservative empire," or, as
he expresses it in another phrase, "a government
which will dominate the revolution by liberty."
Many sounding words and few precise ideas will
be, I expect, the characteristic of the new paper.
By way of news, La France says that Garibaldi
held • council of war on August 4, at Cefalu
(Sicily), wherein it was decided to march upon
Rome in spite of the remonstrances from Turin ;
that he has 6,000 volunteers disguised as members
of a benefit society, in order to deceive the public ;
that they are bound by an oath, and receive regular
pay. The funds are sent from London by Mazzini,
who is the soul of the enterprise. Garibaldi has
freighted six large commercial vessels belonging to
a Genoese company.. In consequence of the
French division having occupied the Roman coast,
he has changed his original plan, and now means
to land in the Gulf of Salerno, where a corps of
auxiliary volunteers will await him ; and there he
will throw himself into the Roman States by land.
On the day that he leaves Sicily a great Garibaldian
demonstration will take place at Naples. "Such,"
says La France, "was the plan of Cefalu ; it re-
mains to be seen if it will be executed."

The Empress, whose support of Rome is no less
known than lamented by all lovers of religions and
political freedom, has very ostentatiously used the
power which the Emperor thinks fit to allow her
to exercise during his absence, by making catholic
et,

She affects to mourn over
the peril which menaces the church. It
is given out at St. Cloud that, apart from the
necessary duty of presiding at the Council of
Ministers, her Majesty sees very few people. She
passes her mornings principally in " pious con-
ferences." Several times last week an imperial
carriage a la Dasimotit rattled at a great pace
through the Bois de Boulogne, to fetch the Abboi
Deguerry, cure of the Madeleine, to confer with her
Majesty.
It is curious that, while the Emperor alone pre-
vents Italy from having her capital, and goads
Garibaldi to the verge of civil war, his very name
is detested and proscribed by the shadow of
• Papal government which he protects.
"The Pontifical government, " says the hide-
pc/idolise, "appears inclined to revenge itself on
France by petty demonstrations. Amongst other
things, it has prohibited the use of the name Napo-
leon. The director of a theatre of the Transtevera,
who is called Napoleon Orchanu, has been ordered
by the police to drop his Christian name, and )12,11
changed it into that of Hannibal. Among' the
actors of the dramatic company of Bellotti-Bon is
one called Napoleon Colombino, and he has been
ordered henceforward to take the name of Giovanni
Colombino."

It is stated that an English company of come-
dians, under the direction of M. Pechter, are about
to give a series of representation in Paris.
Baron Hubner, formerly Austrian ambassador to
France, has arrived in Paris from Vienna, and
alighted at the Hotel Chatham.

SINGULAR SUICIDE. —A aiugular ingtanoe of suicide

who had for some time past shown symptoms of insanity,

while the fire was still burning. Before she got quite inside

too late, for the poor creature wee so dreadfully burned
that she died • few hours after.—Oalimeani.

some of the men in the shop at once to rush up to the
scene of the catastrophe, and they found that every-

was lost in endeavouriog to extinguish the flames and pro-
vent further damage. In Ws than half-ass-hour the ass *as

THE RECOMMENDATIONS OP THE VOLUNTEER

COMMISSION.

(From the Saturday Review.)

The principle on which the commission seems to
have acted is, that the volunteer should be charged with
nothing bey ood his owe persood expenses. The annual ex pen-
diture required to keep up the ertablishmeet of • volunteer
battalion, even with the partial aid already given in the
payment of adjutants and drill sergeants, varies from
WOI. to 700/. • year. Hitherto this demand has,
in most instances, been raised by annual subecrip.
trim from the members of the force, supplernenkd
to a trifling extent by donations extracted from the
waning enthursam of wealthier neighbours; and no one,
however anxious he may be to preserve the honour of the
volunteers as an unpaid army, will consider it necessary that
they should submit to • further tit, beyond their own
inevitable expenses, for the privilege of joining in the
defence of the country. We do not apprehend
that there will be any difference of opinion as
to the propriety of the recommendations which the com-
mission has made. The coctributione in kind which are
already furnished by the government will of course be con-
tinued, and every battalion will have ea adjutant and a drill
sergeant provided at the public expense, together with the
allowance of ammunition which has hitherto been supplied.
The additional assistance which it is proposed to give is
intended to be in the form of a money payment to the
commanding officer in proportion to the effective strength
of their corps.
It may be presumed that the government will not hesitate
to act upon the recommendations of the commission, without
waiting for the formal ruction of a vote of the House
of Commons. And we may probably congratulate the Co.
luateers on having obtained relief from current expenses
on • scale which will leave little beyond mere luxuries to be
defrayed out of their own pockets. It will not be supposed
that the subsidy which im offered will support the magma.
rot bands which • few of the volunteer corps have
organised ; but though a band of some kind moot be re-
garded as • superfluity, it would be too much to expect
the government to gratify the fastidious tastes of musics,/
amateurs. Those corps which can afford it may still indulge
in the luxury of fancy bands ; but the state will hare deco
its tort if it furnishes the means for all that can fsirly he
celled aeoneary for the eMaisoey of a volunteer corps.

Daemirrti COLLISION AND Loss or Lire IN The
Ciertm.—The prediction of Admiral Fitzroy that the
coast would be visited with heavy gales from the south-
west, with rain, and which were telegraphed to the venom
pate early is Wednesday, has been fully realised for
soon after the storm signals had boon hoisted at the
harbours and headlands the weather became unsettled.
and since Wednesday night there has been a etteceedoe of
torrid° equals with torrent, of rain. From the register
of the anemometer it has been found that the highest
pressure of the wind has been 181 b. on the square foot,
which took place during the forenoon of Thursday, whoa
a fearful equal passed over the metropolis. A number
of casualties have Leen reported of vessels going ashore
or losing their span and anchors in the gale, but the most
!morello catastrophe occurred early on Thursday MOM*
mg off the Start, when a large ship was totally loot by
collision, with all hands, with the exception of one mace.
The ill-fated ship is telegraphed to be the Mullion,
Captain Nitdtolas, from the West Indies to Rotterdam,
bet it is thought there is some alight mistake in the
and that she will prove to be a ship bearing a nom=
similar name, and bound to London. According to
the particulars that have been received it appears
that the unfortunate vessel was making Ler way sp
Channel, and about 2 o'clock on the morning of Thursday,
when some iodise off the Start, the wind blowing hard from
the southward end westward, she mine in contact with the
ship Daphne, Captain Foreman, which left Landes the let.

immediately foundered, and 16 men, including the
