is nothing that forbids us, as simple journalists,
to remark that no man in Europe is more
responsible for the origin of the dangers which
are apprehended from an absolute and irrespon-
sible military government in France than the
Minister who hurried to set the seal of England's
recognition on the destroyer of the liberties of the
French people, while the streets of Paris were still
reeking with a massacre. These, indeed, are
bygones which we would willingly with Mr. COB-
, DRN forget ; but if history is to teach us by
example, we must not forget how the use of re-
sponsible power, like the use of time, is fate ; and
that from that single act of recognition date the
causes of all our wasteful panics, and all our pro-
fligate expenditure.

As the names of several flag-officers have been
mentioned in connexion with the future comman3 of the
Mediterranean Beet, we (Army and Nosy Gazette) may my
that the admiral most likely to succeed Sir W. F. Martin
will be Sir James Hope, if he should feel inclined to be a
candidate for further active service on his return home from
China.

A court of inquiry has been sitting for the last
few days (says the Army and Nary Gaunt) in the Royal
Barracks, Dublin, to investigate important matters con-
nected with the commiesariat department at the Curragh
Camp. Several contractors have, we understand, been ex-
amined as witnesses. The proceedings are as yet strictly
private, but their publication is looked forward to with great
interest by all who are connected with this branch of the
public service.
The real reason (says the Army and Navy
Gazette) for the departure of the Prince of Joinville and of
his nephews, the Count of Paris and the Duke of Chartres,
was the Mexican war. At first view there does not seem to
be much connexion between she two facts, but it is never
theleu true that when intelligence of the reverse sustained
by the French in Mexico reached the Federal camp before
Richmond, the princes perceived that they would be
placed in • most embarraasing poultice' as soon as the
news returned to America that France WOW sending
out reinforcements, with the unmistakeable object
of crushing the opposition of the Mexicali, under
Juarez. They knew well that the French would take steps
to avenge the divater. Possibly they expected larger and
more energetic rod prompt demonstrations, and they were
equally certain that such • course would draw from the
Americans, among whom they were staying, expressions
and language such as they apply gwerally to all who differ
from them ; and that they would be called on to listen to
the usual threats about whipping Frenchmen," and the
like "as soon as we have put this this( through." They
stated their intentions of going to General M'Clellan and to
the British officers who were in his camp, and were only
induced to remain a few days by the immediate prospect of

an engsgemeot.
INVITATION OF MIL GLADSTONE TO NEWCASTLE.—
In compliance with a numereausly signed requisition to the
mayor, a meeting to invite the Chancellor of the Enchequer

were present. A resolution of invitation to the great
financial minister wu carried. Mr. Jos. Cowen, jun., In-
gested that Mr. Cobden, to whom the successful nego-
tiation of the French treaty was principally due, should be

rumoured that before the session closes Admiral Sir Michael

THE BHP NIEOROPAUSSIA 47. D HIS SOLDIERS.

The St. Petersburg correspondent of the inde-
pendence relates the fellowing,whieh he says was communi-
cated to him by as officer who was en eyewitness —" An
officer of the regiment Ismailofski, having endeavoured to
excite the soldiers to revoltoras seised by them. The Emperor
was informed of the fact. Oa the eve of the festival of the
regiment he came amongst them as usual. He called the
officers around him, and in an impressive tone be expressed
his astonishment that a traitor should have been found in a
regiment which he had always particularly distinguished,
of which he formed a part, and which he esteemed
arid loved above all. Then. referring to himself,
he asked what they had to reproach him with?
Had he not devoted himself entirely to the interests of the
country? Was he not working night and day for its pro-
gress and prosperity ? What more did they desire? Let
them speak out. On hearing these words, all the officers
gave expression to the most devoted sentiments : they said
that for one wretch a whole regiment ought not to be con-
demned, and kissing the hands and dress of the Emperor
they renewed their oath of fidelity. The scene was truly
touching."

THE AMERICAN FRIGATE TUSCARORA AGAIN.

For several days some excitement ban been caused
at Lloyd's, and amongst those engaged in the American
shipping trade, by the sadden and somewhat remarkable
movements of the United States steam-frigate Tuscarora,
which, it will be remembered, kept mocha vigilant watch over
the Nashville. In the course of last Tuesday • large steamer,
called the Merrimac, sailed from Plymouth, and, although
she cleared for Nsaaan, it is stated that it was well known
that she was intended to attempt to break the blockade,
and to enter one of the Southern ports, and that • con-
siderable premium of insurance was paid upon her. It was
also averred that her cargo was well known, that she bad
been purchased by the Confederates, and that she had on
board some guns which were for a large steamer which was
to follow the Merrimac. Om the fact being made known
that the Merrimac had sailed, the Tuscarora, which had been
lying in Southampton Waters the last fortnight, suddenly
iholz steam and took her departure in the coerce of
y night, and it was undenteod that she had gone
in ahem On the same day that the Merrimac left Ply-
mouth a large, powerful, new steamer, built by Messrs.
laird and Co., and called for the time " No. 290," having
no British register, sailed from the Mersey, and it is
reported that when off Point Lynes she took on board a
number of men in addition to her mew. For some reason
not explained No. 290 put into Holyhead on Thursday,
where her crew left her. It is now alleged that this ship
is intended for the Confederate government, and that her
guns are on board the Merrimac. It is thought that the
Tuscarora met with little success in overtaking the Merri-
mac, for in the course of yesterday morning the Tuscarora
put into Queenstown, and a later telegram announces that
she was to sail for Holyhead in the course of the afternoon,
so as to be in attendance upon No. 290, should she attempt
to pew down the St. George's Channel, and to take her,
as the report says, at all bawds.
