harried by vexatious examinations, as if they had

been fixed for their trial ; and in all probability
the prosecution will be abandoned. But the
matter ought not to rest here. The offence with
which these Englishmen are charged consists
in having vindicated the character of their
country, outrageously insulted in open court by
law officer of the Prussian crown. Instead of
redress, they are threatened with penalties,
and the State-Prosecutor escapes under the
cloud of a counter-accusation. Such is law,

justice, international courtesy, in this model
German State, with which, as all the world knows,
Great Britain entertains the most cordial rela-
tions. We need hardly point out to our readers
the obvious oyrfuteris of a sojourn in Rhenish
Prussia. But we may be permitted to suggest
that if those highly ornamental and cosmopolitan
young gentlemen in the diplomatic line, who are
kind enough to daily with high politic, and to be
distinguished in private theatricals, at Berlin, and
to figure in the suite of royalty at Goblents, for
the good of their country, would condescend
to make themselves occasionally useful, here is an
admirable opportunity of giving public opinion a
reason for their existence.

The following is the passage which is said to
have more particularly caused the suppression of
the Gazette de Lyon :—" To what school of politica
do you belong I Do you desire that we should tell

to say, that degrading despotism which originated
in those days when the Roman empire, rotten with
vice, submitted to • master, and substituted for its
ancient liberty the caprice and sovereign will of a
tyrant, tempered by equality of slavery, by laws of
spying, and of treason, and employments at court.

PARIS, MONDAY Emma.
The Cousiilationnel oontains, on the subject of
Baron de Hubner's alleged mission, the following
ambiguous paragraph, signed by M. Gmndguillot
For some days past there has been circulated with syste-
matical persistency a statement that Austria had decided
on interfering is Italy. One journal has even spoken of a
kind of secret mission said to have been con&led to as old
diplomatist for the purpose of bringing about some explan-
ation from the French government as to the hearing which
the ma ichiant would attach to such an intervention. It is
our duty to put the public on their guard against reports
which would be of a nature to mislead opinion and alarm
interest& For some time past Austria In her foreign policy
has given proof of a reserve and prudence which it would
be unjust not to recognise. The eminent statesman who
directs the department of foreign affairs at Vienna, knows
better than anyone hop much an offensive attitude on the
part of Austria might complicate the state of affairs in
Italy. A purely defensive one presents moreover too many
advantages to the Austrian government for anyone to be-
lieve that it would readily depart from it. For our part
we have the best reasons for thinking that this is the line of
conduct which it has adopted, and from which it will not
swerve.

It will be observed that this note studiously '
avoids repeating the denials of the Patric and Pays
that Id. de Hubner has a mission in France. In-
deed, the natural inference from the language used
would be that M. GrandguiUot knows both
the fact of the mission and the exact nature of it ;
for he somewhat modifies the statement of the
Courrier du Ilintanche, which was that M. de Hub-
ner had oome to " prepare" the French government
for the news of an Austrian invasion of Italy, and
represents the report as being that his task is to
obtain "explanations" as to what France would
think of such a step, le WA Schema. This being
written after two days' time taken for reflection, I
infer that unless M. Graudguillot's instructors
mean him to mislead the public, M. de Hubner has
a mission of the character which be now describes.
The Constitutionnel says that its duty is to warn the
public against reports likely to " mislead opinion
and &tarns interests ;" but since it abstains from
saying that the report in question is Untrue, these
words must be construed as meaning that France
has given Austria good advice and hopes she will
follow it.
The Constitutiontsel also publishes the following :
At the moment when the interview at Warsaw is giving
rise to so many oommente, our readers will learn with
interest that the Emperor Napoleon has received an auto-
graph letter from the Czar. We have grounds for mating
that, in tins letter, the Emperor of Bemis himself &lime
the character of this meeting of emissive in such a manner
*al to take from it say hostile signifination aping France.
The date of the above autograph letter is not
mentioned ; I believe it was received some time ago.
The Opinion Nationale observes upon this para-
graph, that its wording Is more obscure than might
be thought at first sight, because nobody supposes
that there is a conspiracy at Warsaw against
Prance as long as she remains quiesoeut, but the
question is, what would be done in case ebe should
be obliged to cross the Alps again to defend against
Austria the policy which triumphed at Magenta
and Solferino.
The Patric says that Lord J. Russell has sent a
diplomatic note to St. Petersburg explaining the
views of the British government ou the Italian
question, in which his lordship admits the "abso-
lute right" of Austria to Venetia, but insists on
the principle of non-intervention as to the rest of
Italy. The Pays, in describing the note, says
nothing about the "absolute right" above men-
tioned. .

The Pattie says that the presence of the two
Austrian archdukes in Italy is no indication of

.
aggressive measures, as they have gone there merely
to study the position of the country with a view to
defence.

Marshal Niel has left his command at Toulouse
to pass a short time in Paris. Of course the con-
jecture is that he has been sent for by the Em-
pets m.
The Emperor will °illy stay a few days at Com-
piogne this year, and it is said that the Empress
will not accompany him thither. The court hunts
may therefore be expected to be lees brilliant than
iu former seasons.
It is believed that M. Jules Gerard is the winner
of the Emperor's prize gun at Vincennes, but the
official report of the committee will not be known
for some days. M. °Mimi, the Belgian who is
supposed to have gained the 10,000 fr. prise, spent
no lees than 1201. In &hole, at the rate of lfr. each.
At the Bonnie the Rent. row a little in the
morning, owing to the Grendguillot article, but
the impression produced, it enema, was of short
duration. The last quotation, for account, was
that of Saturday—Orr. 15c. For cash, there was a
rise of 20c., the highest price of the day, 681 r. 90e.,
being maintained. Mobilter rose lfr. 25e. Iu
rrilway shares there was little change.

The following incident shows the hitter feeling l'
which at present inlets between the French and Papal ,
courts. General de Goyon, iii presenting General Comm ,
don and the other officers of the French division which
recently arrived at Rome, was about to offer a compliment
to the Pope, when the latter cut him short, and ordered the
presentatious to be forthwith proceeded with.
A report of the 3fiunder of War of the King of
Nap's.; on the battle of the Volturno has just Leen mite
baked. According to this document, the royalists were the
conquerors. The King's troops are declared to have simply
wished to reconnoitre the positions of the enemy, and that
object they attained. With like reesoniup it would Le
' easy to prove that no one was ever beaten.
A Constantinople letter, iu the Messager du Midi,
says : ---"The luisnelerhaersim (lady treasurer) of Om
imperial !niece has just expired. She leaves an immense
fortune, estimated at 150 millions of plattres, the whole of
which falls to the Sultan. Although a slave, she possessed
great influence in the palace, and her name has often Leen
mixed up with ministerial intrigues, bier fortune is quite
a god-seud to the Sultan, who wu on the point of sending
his plate to the mint."
A correspondent at St. Petersburg writes
" Soon after the war in the Crimea, a general census of the
population was begun throughout the Russian empire ; it
Is now completed, and gives the following results :—The
total population is 79,000,000. The number of females
exceeds that of males by 1,750,000. The lower orders,
serfs, petty traders, and annum, kink a total of 153,500,000;
the nobles and the higher guilds of traders shout 1,003,000.
The nobles still possess 21,000,000 serfs. The population
of Siberia, including the wandering tribes of Kaman, Astra-
kali, and Orenburg, is 4,000,050."
AItRAIIIIINATION AT Roses.—On Sunday butt, at
about the hour of noon, is the Via del One. a broad and
frequented street leading out of the Corso, a priest named
Literati issued from the church at the altar of which he
had just off! :listed. A man came up to him and stabbed
bhp UMW' the short ribs. Eleven inches of the knife, as I
ant assured, entered the unfortunate man's body. It was
enough, and to spire, for the accomplishment of the deadly
purpose. The murderer left the knife sticking in the wound
and lied. l'p to the present time no news of Isis capture
him reached me, and it seems to be considend probable
that he will not be discovered. It is believed to
be a vendetta, a murder for revenge. (In such minden'
the bystanders are very slow to arrest an assassin, because
they fear the vengeance of hie relations upon say wise
should be the means of bringing him to justice.
attribute to a similar motive the usual inefficiency ofbutt
' police in such cases ; but, be this as it nav, it is certain that
crirniaels et ta ass nay dna remade undetected. A
resident in SPIN Selespie ne that within about a year this
is the fourth murder of the same description the perpetn-
-1 tors of which hue baffled the resserehes of the inthordies.
' Such a state of things might appear natural enough iu
Corsica fifty years ago, but it is necessary to witness it iu
' order to credit its existeuce iu Rome in Iniio.—Lotter Jon
