EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

PARIS, 7111DLY iVINIVII.

You will be much astonished to learn now, for the
first time, that on the 15th of March last (the day
before the birth of the Imperial Prism), five indi-
viduals were eenteneed to death by the Anise Court
of Paris, far an attempt upon the life of the Em-
peror. That it should have bean ponsible to have
hushed cep an event of this importance, which must
have been known at the time to many judges, regie-
tram, clerks, and policemen, and officers of the courts
of law, to may nothing of the witnesses who meat
have been examined, is certainly a most extreoedinary
iota and one not sufficiently accounted for by the
loossidmation that the government can, and oftenll hook peremptorily interdict the French journals from
*dishing neve. The power which restricts French
journalists from printing what they please cannot pre-
vent them frost communicating what they know
b their friends and acquaintances by word of month
Sad by letter, and it this intelligence had transpired
la the office of any French journal, it must almost of
solemnity have found its way to some foreign paper.
The probabili7 therefore is that the government suc-
ceeded not only in stifling the publication, bet also
in preventing the diffusion of the knowledge of this
oestrrenee kyond a very limited official circle. The
Miriam* is now made by the half-yearly publication
at a summary of the judgments of the Assize Court
et the deism, which the law directs to be made. It
swan kb this summary, which has just been pls.
carded at every mayoralty in Paris, and is attested
by the signature of M. Lit, principal graffier at
1/111 Imperial Court, that by five judgments
(whets) pronounced by the Assize Court of
bp bib on the 15th March, 1858, the under-
imistiosed individuals, namely :-1. Ropier (Ev-
ades), aged 30 years; 2. &eosin (Charles Joseph)/
3. Caron; 4. Blavoine (Reglad; 0 oillaume) ; 5. Poisson;
TOM condemned to death par costumes' (that is to

say, Jo default of appearaioe) for an attempt upon
the life of the Emperor. This is the extent of the
official news. The judgments are separate, and it does
not appear whether the men were acoomplioes in one

common action, or whether there were several distinct
attempts to sassasiaate hie Majesty. It is probable
that other ponies in custody must be implicated, for
otherwise it is difficult to conceive how the govern.
meet can have learned the names of ths five regicides
who escaped and are yet at large. 80010 information
as to the date of the crime or crimes and the attendant
circumstances must now, in all likelihood, be given.

a Motu. Baron MlllimeeP seethes'. The lentesport
is that the post.herses have already started from
Naples for him, and that accommodations have been
prepared foe him in the house of Big. Martini at
Foggia. It is supposed that the Baton must
be actually bowed down beneath the weight
of the novelties and ameliorations be Ina to
propose. There is one thing, however, which I
do not exactly enderstand ; it is that if any great
changes were really to be proposed, what need would
there be of a special messenger—why condescend to
persuasion f All well suppose a planter to suggest to
hie slave the great desirableness of oondueting him-
self better; for Naples is tributary to Austria, and
owes and renders absdknoe where she looks for de-
fence. This heralding in therefore of hi. Hubner seems
to me to indicate that much imposition will be pre°-
. Heed, but that little good will be clone. People are to be
, deuled and governments gulled, and therefore is it
that "Io Triumph.." are gong on the anticipated
i appearanee of the Austrian plenipotentiary. I need
not my that by the Neapolitans themselves nothieg
worth having is really expected, and I generally fled
that the instincts of a people are correct.
1 But if what the Augsburg Gazette declares—and
what is quoted from it by the Loudon and Paris papers
—be correct, M. Illbese's work hes been already done
for him, not through the Minister, General Martini,
who his bees absent during the whole of the summer,
bet direct from Vienna. An amnesty is announced with
a Sourish of trumpets, sod a variety of other emetic
rations are inferred. With regard to an amnesty, I
am so tired of announcing this periodical trick, and
have announced and cancelled so many that I have
waited until facts should verify this last ; but as yet
so such facts have made their appearance. I oao,
however, inform you upon authority that some mem.
bars of the diplomatic body were informed several
weeks since that a partial amnesty would be
greeted. The King would not, however, let names
all known, and a most extraordinary mystery seems
N hews hese observed about the affair. Bo wrapt
Is esnamlemmt was it, in fact, that, except in the
highest shire nothing was said or knows attest it.
The indulges's, however, I am informed, will be
confined to ten, and these, 'whams of no
importance. So that, except. by the poor men
themselves it will be received_ with no en-

thusium—will awaken no gratitude, aid in-
spire so hope. As to a change of system likely
to be initiated, who an expect that the King,
after 26 years of religious attachment to, and reit-
gious observance of, his political principles can
change ? They are inscribed on the banner of the
Madonna Immacolata, and are under the sanction
and protection of all the saints in heaven. All,
therefore, that is said about extensive changes is
mere bosh, and intended as an opiate for the Western
Powers. The only change that I know of es yet is
in the fashion of the hat and beard. Every
one is at liberty to adopt any, and a
most remarkable variety of remarkable fashions
has therefore been introduced. The ladies
especially revel in their liberty, and either
bide themselves under thatched roofs of vest propor-
tions, or drive and walk about in little hats and
feathers, just cocked on the summit of the head, !cok-
ing u knowing and as saucy as a young man upon
town. And where is hie Majesty, the great main-
spring of all movement aid of all hope ? His Ma-
jesty is at " Qui at sana"—at Casteilamare, so sur-
rounded by guards that one would imagine an infer-
nal machine had recently been discovered. Sentinels
at view are placed all round the palace, and thence
to the roads, and a kind of telegraphic communica-
tion is kept up between them. Should his
Majesty appear, every unhappy wight has orders
to shrink into a bye-path should there be one, or else
to remain stationary until royalty has passed.
Ladies, and even members of the diplomatic body,
have been stopped in the way. On the highroad,
too, as I have already informed you, when his Majesty
intimates a desire to extend his drive beyond the
neighbourhood of his palace, patrols of cavalry and
policemen are pleased for some miles in advance on the
road. In the town itself increased surveillance is
exercised over all such as enter it, and the hotel-
keepers send in daily to the police authorities the
names of all arrivals.
On Tuesday, the 19th inst., the let Regiment of
Guards, by order ot his Majeety, was marched dose
to Csetsllsmare. This, if yen will remember, was the
same which *bowed some symptoms of insubordina-
tion on account of the ferocity of Col. Paul. It is,
however, the Ist Regiment only in name, having
been completely disbanded, and many of its members
distributed amuse& the islands ea guards of the
Ergestoli, a service without honour and without hope

his rank, and more than the usual amount of royal

Hie Majesty he, with him, too, at Castellamas eight
steam frigates and some gunboats, and these will
remain probably anti! his Majesty leaves " Qui si
sena" for the Pasta of Piedi Omits on the Bth Sept.
Two of the steamers are destined shortly for Sicily,
to take down material for the public. establishments,
and then it is said that the gullies. will be changed.
A large frigate is now being Wilt at Cestellamare
(or fitted up), and is to be propelled by steam. After
the fete of Pleb di Orotta, the King will retire to the
Favorite, near Partial, and there will begin the
series of amaseasents—swinp, Ruskin gardens, &a,
with which his Majesty insheoillises, amuses, and
diverts his subjects. dumb throalhout the summer,
and swings in the autumn—each ere soma of the
most important inetruments of Sicilian government.
I shall close my letter by mentioning a report
that Morns, the Moister of Finance, has purchased
the palace of Queen Joanne, to be 'swivelled
into bonded warehouses. If so, it will be an im-
mense boon to commerce, which has suffered greatly
foe the want of each an institution. Ever since 1834,
we have been without anything of the kind. I have
heard it stated that the British thee gave it up, in
cossideradon of being relieved of the differential
duties. Naples diplomacy was, however, too fine for
John 8011, as it will be again g and Ragland lost the
privileges of bonded warebossiag, and was still saddled
with the differeadal duties. Forty theemad franca
are said to have bean paid for the palace.

of the establishment, and the rector, sub-rector, and
oilier priests ware in imminent danger of being
severely mauled by the enraged boys, who seem
test even to have respected the venerable
person of the cardinal himself, brandishing
sticks and knivee, and discharging tiles from
the roofs in a mode which rendered the pacifi-
cation of the fray by the police a rather arduous
task. Expulsion and the House of Correction have
been resorted to as a means of taming these rebellious
spirits, who are said to have been roused to their
misdeeds partly by the bad quality of their food, and
partly by the cardinal's having expressed his inten-
tion to discharge such pupils as did not pay, the abuse
having crept ioto the school of San Michele, as in
most public schools in England, for a great number
of paying pupils to be received, whilst t ose on the
foundation, for whom the charity was originally ests-
blished, are considered as interlopers.
Paolone, the only combatant who survived the
double duel in the Monti district, last week, and was
with difficulty arrested by a Swiss at the conclusion
of the fray, has since expired of his wounds, so that
the judicial proceedings have been closed, the four
actors in the aff,ir being all deed.

The delegate governor of Ravenna him sent back, 1
without any reply, to the municipal councillors of
that city, the address which they signed asking the

government to re•wtablish the elective councils. Thel
Papal government does not choose to recognise in any
manner the existenca of these expressions of public
opinion, which it is afraid to answer with a direct
refusal, and the existent 3 of which its advocates' do
not scruple to deny.
A letter, which is evidently written at the instiga.
tion of the Roman government, in the Bi&nein, of
Milan, talks of the Pope's intention to congedier the
French and Austrian troops! It is admitted that the
foreign occupation oats the Papal government
280.000 tem& annually, without including the ins-
ONUS expense of maintaining barracks for the foreign
soldiers, which is defrayed by the municipal and pro-
vincial administration.

Monsignor Bernardi, who was sent to Bologna, u
it was snoonoced, for the purpose of esoertaining the
real state of public feeliog there, and the disposkion
of Bologna with regard to the Papal government, did
not tied encouragement to pursue his mission, for,

after a conversation with the legate, Monsignor
Amid, he departed immediat?ly from the plat. 3,
A letter from that city describes repeated
acts of robbery and outrage, which had
occurred there within a few days, and which the
government was quite unable to repress. Biz armed
men walked into a house in the city of Bologna, and
plundered it on the very day when the execution of
the assassins of Mud was taking place in another
quarter of the same city. On the same day, a priest
was assaulted and robbed outside the gate of Ben
Donato, and only two miles from the city. A lady was
seized and robbed at eleven o'clock in the forenoon, in
the very streets. On the 20th inst., the diligence
from Bologna to Ra was stopped by a band of
brigands, armed with muakets, pistols, and knives,
who carried off, amongst other things, a parcel con•
tatting a large sum in gold Napoleons, belonging to
Monsignor Amid himself. The correspondent adds
that the Austrians do not trouble themselves in the
least about this miserable state of the country, and
that the banditti are left quite at liberty to ravage it
as they please.
