la check upon all improvements, and to which Girar-
, din so forcibly alluded the other day, when he attri-
i bated to the personal exertions of the President,
Count d'Orsay, and M. Brett, that the wire had
ever been allowed to touch the French shore."
An official and apparently authentic account of the
exact state of the lottery funds has been sent by M.
Beyre to the Courrier de la Somme. in answer to
very pressing inquiries. It appears that the amount
actually received for tickets sold up to this time is
4,934,379 fr., of which, after deducting various
charges, 4,161,256 fr. 15c. are actually now avail-
able. The statement is considered to a great
extent satisfactory, asit shows that at least the larger
part of the funds is acme, and confirms the asser-
tion of the prefect of police, that the prizes would be
paid in full. M. Delamarre states, in the Patrie,
that it is calculated that from 800,000 to 900,000
tickets will remain unsold, and that in all likelihood
several prizes would fall to some of those tickets, but
that it has been decided that the administration shall
not be allowed to gain any prize, and that all lots
which may be gained by any of the unsold tickets
shall be drawn a second time, for the benefit of the
public holders, who arc requested to preserve their
tickets, although they may not win at the first
drawing
The President is giving a series of dinners at St.
Cloud to the officers of the garrison. It is said that
two generals zealously devoted to the cause of the
Elysee, MM. do Goyon and de Cottc, have been
summoned to Paris.
Mr. Gladstone has arrived here with his family,
on his way to the south of France, where it is said
that he proposes to pass a part of the winter.
The municipal council of Aix, in its sitting of
Sept. 23, voted 20,000 f. in aid of Talabot's company,
in order that that company should undertake the
branch to Aix upon the terms and conditions of the
law of July 1815, in case any prolongation of its
lease can be obtained.'
The races at Algiers, lately founded by the Minister
of War, took place on September 28. A number of
Arab chiefs, and as ninny as 1,500 natives on horse-
back, attended. There was room for 3,000 spectators
in the stands, which were well filled, and the neigh-
bouring hills were crowded with spectators. There
were only two races in which French and native
horses were pitted against each other, and in each of
these the former were victorious.

Marseilles-roads. on board the frigate
Mississippi, of the tuited States,
Sept. 29, 1941.
Kossuth left Marseilles on the Ist instant for
Gibraltar.
It is needless to ray that the address of Kossuth to
the democracy of Marseilles has been received with
enthusiasm by the democrats of Paris. It is
of much more importance that the inhos-
pitable repulse given to his reasonable request
by M. Leon Faucher is condemned by the common
sense of all parties. A ministerial decision about so
simple a matter was never more loudly and gen&
rally disavowed by the organs of public opinion.
And not merely the refusal, but the man-
ner of it, excites universal disapprobation.
The Prefect of the Bouches-du-Rhone will not
condescend to communicate directly with the ex-
governor of Hungary, whom he seems to regard as
placed in a sort of moral quarantiue, and entitled to
receive letters only at the end of a pair of tongs. Ho
cannot recognise liossuth's existence on slime, be-
cause, his passport not having been rito'd by M. do
Lavalettc at Constantinople,whieli is about 100 miles
from the place where Kossuth embarked on board the
Mississippi, his being on shore is clean against all
rules, and only in consideration of the sickness of his
wife and children. The French are a kindly
people; it was not an act worthy of a French minis-
ter to send that sick wife with her three little chil-
dren back again to the uncomfortable sea. Is it not
an instructive contrast. A great nation at the other
side of the world scuds a ship across the Atlantic to
receive this glorious exile, and to do him honour and
fetch him from banishment to the cheering welcome
of free and civilised communities, to the solace of
sympathies, and the tributes of admiration. And
a mere passage over the soil of France is refused to
this man, refused with insult, with cruelty; and he
and his wife and children are thrust back liko in-
fected things into the sea. Why, this is the very
ecstasy of panic, the phrenzy of terror, which
takes France for a barrel of gunpowder,
and Kossuth for a lighted match. Ilutigurian
audiences were excited by his eloquence, but here
even supposing that he had been allowed to bar-
rangue the people, instead of occupying a scat in the
railway train, the charm of his oratory must have
been lost in a foreign tongue. More dangerous was
his pen, rind this is the precise peril which has
been called into operation by the government.
The address to the democracy of Marseilles will
cross France, and penetrate into every village with
the Paris papers of all colours. Even the legitimist
raise copies the address. Girardin says of it :
" The reverberation of this address, so nobly simple,
will be immense. I ask the minister who directs
compression—l ask M.L. Faucher himself—what will
he have gained by preventing Kossuth from crossing
France, to travel from Marseilles to London? Kos-
suth would have passed; his manifesto will remain.
I wished to have sent you the article of the l'enple
of Marseilles, protesting against the repulse of Kos-
suth, for which that paper is prosecuted on the
charge of exciting to hatred and contempt of
the government. But the confiscation of all
the numbers of the Penple confided to the post
has unfortunately prevented this composition from
reaching me. In the meantime, a valuable testimony'
of the warm sympathy of the population of Mar-
seilles with the Hungarian cause is furnished by
the reply of the same paper to this blow of
the authorities. It says :—" We have trans-
lated faithfully, in all the sincerity of our conscience,
the popular indignation which we have seen burst
forth. An exile for the cause of the liberty of peoples,
a victim of Austrian absolutism, a great heart, a great
name in the history of peoples, has touched the soil
of France. He demanded not even hospitality, but
only the right of passing through the country with
his family, to save women and children sonic days
more of suffering upon the sea ; and a minister of
France answered, 1'.40 ! Whatever may be done or
said, all our words ars dwarfed before the great
stain thrown on our French honour. The democracy
of Marseilles has protested by its acclamations, its
crowns, and its bouquets : it was the duty of the demo-
cratic organ to record the protest of the people. We ac-
cept the necessities of our duty withoutt min). bragging
as without fear, and if we are to go before a jury we
will ask it with confidence to sanction by a verdict of '
acquittal the national sentiment which has guided
our pen." The verdict of that jury will be eagerly
expected.
Not content with the repulse of Kossuth; the
Pattie undertakes to vilify him. It justifies the
measure of the government by attributing to the ex-
governor
of Hungary all the vulgar qualities of a
pestilent demagogue, and draws an invidious con-'
trast between him and Casimir Batthyany, who
has been permitted to take up his residence in Paris.
The Ordre takes, with its usual adroitness, advan-
tag° of the impolitic acerbity et the government to I
woo the popular breath by coademuing this absurd
• r.
same spirit which dictated the refusal to allow
Kossuth and his family to cross France, prevails in
every department of the administration. fhe mayor
of St. Michel, M. Laugier, has been suspended by the
prefect of the Basses-Alpes for directing the inter-
ment of a prutestant's infr.nt child in a
cathotic cemetery. The terms in which the prefect
justifies this harsh measure form an excellent pen-
dant to the official style of M. Suleau, the Prefect of
Marseilles. He says: "The mayor Laugier, of St.
Michel is suspended for having caused to be interred
on his own authority, and in spite of the warnings
given to him, in the part of the cemetery reserved to
the catholic reli,gion, an infant not baptised according
to the rites of this religion, which he ought to have
considered as having died without baptism, and have
buried as such, since the state has not recognised
the protestants of St. Michel; also for not having
awaited, as he was by us bidden, the decision of the
government upon the legal existence of the pro-
testants of his commune." Thus, as the prefect of
Marseilles cannot recognise the existence of
Kossuth on shore, the prefect of the Basses-
Alpcs canuot recognise the existence of the
protestants of his department, and considers
an infant baptised by a protestant clergyman as an
infant not baptised at all. This is the pharisaical
slang, the crabbed argot and narrow rigour of for-
mality which characterises the "Jacks in office" of
an illiberal administration. It is unfortunate that a
tone which grates so harshly on the ear of common
sense and humanity should be now given
all over official France by the tuning.
fork of the Minister of the Interior. Mean-
while, although it is true that a decree of the
second year of the republic enacts that " no law au-
thorises the refusal of sepulture in the public ceme-
teries to deceased citizens, whatever may have been
their religious opinions or profession," this does not
proveot the interment of protestant. in a place
apart unconsecrated, and stigmatised by the abomi-
nation of desolation.

ROME.

Signor Galli, pro-Minister of Finance at Rome,
has issued a notification, dated the 26th ult., de-
claring that the Loa (paper money) of the late pro-
visional and republican governments, representing
the nominal value of 60f and of 30f. respectively,
shall remain in circulation until the 15th inst., after
which period they may be exchanged at the Treasury
until the 25th, at the expiration of which term they
shall be of im value whatever. .

L,cveral images of Madonnas have been torn from

SARDINIA.
The newspapers of Turin make mention of the
Emperor's sudden departure from the camp of Som-
ma as of a flight. The prescribed route of return to
Vienna was abandoned for the road by Ilctzendorf.
The Emperor left the Somma at six on the morning
of the 30th ult., and leaving behind all the carriages
of his suite arrived in four hours at Casima de'
Pecehi, a distance of 43 miles. 'I his precipitate de-
parture by a changed route is ascribed to alarm and
discouragement at his blank and cold reception by
the Italians. The camp of the Somme was ordered
to be broken up, the cause assigned for this new
arrangement being the unfavourable weather.
The l'ictlinwilese Gazette contains the following
dignified reply to the insults bestowed by the official
journal of Milan upon the Italian revolution:
We have only a few words to utter respecting certain
reflections lately published in the official journal of Milan.
We are certain that the sentences in question arc opposed
to the intentions and sentiments of honour which regulate
public affairs in Austria. We can understand that the
Austrian government should be opposed to the national
outburst of Italy; but that outburst, if it has been unsuc-
cessful, was not without honour. Soldiers, citizens, all'
took part in the generous impulse: the first• obeying their
chiefs, fought yalorouslv ; the second obeyed only their
own hearts, and thus faced death for • principle which
the public conscience has in all ages and among all nations
respected, and which will remain sacred so lung as the
light of civilisation shall last. A king, in that rause,
. quitted his country and his life. This king, these soldiers,
I these citizens were to be fought, and even slain, but no one
has the right to insult them.

The Gazette publishes the text of the convention
of June 30, 111,11, between the Sardinian and Spanish
governments, for the reciprocal execution of civil and

There is some talk of the cession to Holland of
the French colony of Guiana, in exchange for the
small island of St. Eustache, belonging to the Dutch,
and situated in the Antilles, near Guadalonpo and
Martinique.
The order interdicting soldiers from entering
socialist restaurants and cafes has been extended to

The first despatch transmitted by the submarine
telegraph from Dover to Calais, and printed by the
machine of Mr. Brett, is as follows :
" Printed by the Submarine Telegraph, for Count
" D'Orsay.
"M. Leon Faucher has declined, on his own re-
sponsibility, to grant permission for the use of 1
the submarine telegraph between Paris and Lon-
don. The subject is now under the consideration of
the council of ministers. M. Foy, the director of te-
legraphs, has been sent for to give his opinion as to
the scale of charges, in case the permission should be
granted. That it should be refused cannot for a mo-
' meat be as,amed to be within the bounds of proba-
i bility, but the hesitation and delay is an instance of
that inveterate system of bureaucracy which is
