THE EXPRESS, THIIIISDAY EVENING, MARCH 18, 1858.

from all parts of the House of ;Commons that
greeted this announcement were a tree indication
of the general satisfaction that will be felt by the
country at the constitutional and patriotic course
taken by Mr. DISRAELI. If it should turn out that
Lard CLAW DON suggested, or even connived at,the
surrender which the Da/or C►binet have so firmly
and properly refused, the country will be in a still
better position than they hitherto have been for
estim►ting the loss sustained by the displacement of
a Government whose foreign affairs were entrusted
to each keeping.
It is impossible not to speak with high edmiratioa
et the conduct of Count CAVOCR, supported, as he is
well understood to have been, by the high-spirited
and constitutional Sovereign who now occupies the

Sardinian throne. If any doubt could remain,
alter the French demands on Switzerland,
as] to the real object aimed at by the pre-
sent advisers of Loots NAPOLEON, it End
at once be dissipated by what has transpired in
Sardinia. That object is neither more nor lea than
to procure a subversion in all free countries of every
safeguard by which personal rights have hitherto
been protected and maintained, in order to make
Europe a broad hunting-field for French spies and
French police agents. The policy of repression that
now reigns in the Tuileries will never be satisfied,
till domiciliary visits and arrests on suspicion have
inaugurated throughout Europe the Empire of
Espionage. Our thoroughly well-informed Cor-
respondent at Turin has disclosed to us the ml
nature of the pressure to which Count CATOUR and
his Sovereign have been subjected. Prince LATouR
D'AUVERONE, u the representative of France, has
daily insisted on the adoption of the most stringent
measures of repression. He has demanded the
arbitrary and instant suppression of one democratic
journal, the immediate expulsion of the editor of
another. He has demanded that all refugee* who
have ever written in any political journal should be
expelled without form of law, and that juries should
not be permitted to intervene in press prosecution.
when they relate to deuces against the persons of
foreign sovereigns. This is what has actually been
asked of Sardinia; this, if the PALMERSTON-CLA-
RENDON Bill had once become law, is what would
speedily have been asked of ourselves. Count CA.
TOUR, supported by the high spirit of the Sardinian
nation and the Sardinian Sovereign, peremptorily re-
fused these unworthy demands. The screw was then
put on ; anger was excited at the Tuileries; an exalted
personage, in conversation with General DELLA
ROCCA, the Sardinian Envoy at Paris, took care to
employ the following language:—" Monsieur le Ge-
" natal, please to let these gentlemen know that Bel-
" glum and Switzerland have submitted, and that
" England herself is preparing to satisfy France ;
" will Piedmont alone pretend to resist?" When
VICTOR ENYANVEL was informed of the language
held at the Tuileries he wrote with his own hand to
General DELLA Rocca that " for eight centuries
" past the princes of the House of Savoy had always
" held their brows erect, and that he would net
" begin to abase his own—that his people had
" entrusted to him the custody of their liberties, and
"that he would never betray them." Noble lan-
guage, worthy of the constitutional Sovereign of a
people who have shown themselves fit for freedom.
If any proof were wanting that Sardinia is
thoroughly penetrated with the vital spirit of sober
and rational freedom, it is to be found in her re-
sistance to these overweening demands. If any
additional pledge could be required to bind England
more closely to Sardinia, we have it here. Let this
proof be well pondered, and this pledge faithfully
redeemed.

THE SHY BACHELOR'S MANust.—My suggestion
involves nothing less than the writing of one gigantic book
by all the ladies of Great Britain put together. What I
pose is a Hand Book of Courtship, written by all British
Wives, and edited, with notes, by all British Daughters. The
magnitude of my own idea absolutely Saki:Fair &• my breath
—and yet, the execution of it is so un easy, that
the Hand Book might be ready fur publics on in six months'
time. I propose that every married lady in the country shall
write down the exact words (for surely her affectiouate
heart mast remember them P) which her husband
need when he made his offer to her; and tin..:
she shall then add to the interesting report of
the offer illustrative particulars of the circumstances
under which It was made, and of the seeompanying actions
(if any) by which the speaker emphasised the all-important
words as they fell from his lips. I would have the Returns,
thus prepared, collected as the Income Tax Papers are, with
the most extreme care and the most honourable seamy.
They should be afterwards shuffled together in basket', and
distributed, one by one, just as they happened to turn up,
among the Unmarried Ladies of the country, with the fol-
lowing brief formula of two question attached First.
Would the form of offer presented herewith have proved to
be • satisfactory one, in your are ? And, If not, will you
say in what particulars you think it might be improved P
Second. Would the accompanying actions by which the offer
was pressed on the kind attention of the individual addressed,
have spocinlly inclined you t o favour it with a suitable reply
And, if not, what it n prevenient', in the way of addition or sup-
pression, would you be disposed, in the strictest confidence, to
suggest P When the necessary answers to these questions
had been given, I would have the Papers again collected, on
the same Income Tax principle; and would Immediately set
the printers at work. The Married Ladies' Returns shield
form the text, and the Unmarried Lichee' Returns should be
added in the form of notes. No names er addressee should
appear anywhere. The book should be bound in virgin
white, with orange-ffewer decorations on the beck. It should
be printed in roes-coloured ink, and It abonld be issued to the
world from a publishing-house established for the surpass to
Doctors' Commons. What an inestimable Baoheloe's lianas!
this would be.—Lickeres's"llowthold Words."

EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

(TROY OM ORIf

PARIS. WZDNIRDAT EVININe.

The name of M. Boittelle, the new Prefect of
Police, is utterly unknown in Paris. He is an old
friend of the Count de Peraigny. He was formerly
a aub•lieutenant in the army, and it is said that he
has a good property, inherited from his family, in
the department of the Aisne. When M. de Per-
aigny became Minister of the Interior, in 1852, one
of his first acts was to appoint M. Boittelle Prefect
of the Yonne, which department he has ever since
administered, no doubt in the way expected of him,
although there has never been any occasion to bring
his merits to public notice. M. Cartier, the former
Prefect of Police in Paris, who is a native of the
Aisne, was at one time in constant communication

with M. Boittelle, and may very likely have mea-
-1 timed his name to the Emperor. M. Boittelle is
not mere than forty years of age. It =scarcely be
necessary to say that the illness of M. Pietri, stated
by the Mositeur as the reason for hie resignation, is
lan official fiction. He is in very excellent health.
The true ground for the change can only be attri-
buted to the desire to place the administration of
the prefecture of police in more complete harmony
with the reasons which dictated the appointment of
General Espinasse to the Ministry of the Interior.
M. Pietri has been Prefect of Police ever since
Jan. 27, 1862, when he succeeded the police prefect
of the Coup d'Etat, the celebrated M. de Rupee,
who was on that day created Minister of Police—
an office subsequently abolished.
M. Henry, a professor of oriental languages, who
was an interpreter to the French army in the
Crimes, is going out to Persia with Fernkh Khan,
and takes with him a large following of savant,
French officers, and workmen.
Marshal Cutellane, the commander-in-chief of
the Lyons district, has issued an order of the day
relating to the enseute at Chalons. After having re-
counted, pretty nearly in the way already known,
how the sergeant of the guard and his men were
surprised in the guardhouse, and lost their arms,
which were taken out of the gun-rack; and how
they afterwards fought with the rioters, and took
three of their guns back, the marshal says :—" In
consequence of this honourable struggle, and Ser-
geant Pichery having at once informed the com-
mandant of the garrison of what had oocured, he will
not be brought to a court-martial ; but he is placed
under arrest for a month, because a soldier should
never allow himself to be surprised." The order of
the day mentions in terms of praise the conduct of
certain soldiers on the occasion.

In consequence of the suppression of the butchers'
monopoly at Paris, a number of cattle-breeders of
Normandy and Brittany are forming themselves into
a company for the purpose of establishing shops for
the sale of meat in the capital. A " monster "
butcher's shop is to be established at Montmartre.
The Bourse has been a good deal better, and
although an expectation that the Bank of France
would this day reduce its discount has not been, so
far as is known, realised, the Rente continued firm to
the close. It rose 10c. for cash and 16c. for account,
closing at 69fr. 50c. in each case. Mobilier rose
7fr. 60c., and was in a great deal more demand than
it has been of late. The railway market was ani-
mated. Orleans rose 7fr. 60c.; Northern, 10fr. ;
Eastern, 7fr. 50c.; Lyons, 16fr.; tiouthern, 7fr. 60c. ;
and Western, 7fr. 60c.

NAPLES.

VION OUR OWN

NAPLES, MARCH O.

Mr. Lyons, who arrived here on Thursday night,
has commenced his mission with great delicacy and
consideration. He expresses himself fully persuaded
of the ability with which Mr. Acting Consul Barber
has watched over British interests, and the case of
Park and Watt in particular, and he will leave, I
have reason to think, the conduct of the trial to
him. Mr. Lyons is to have an interview to-day
with Signor Carafe, Minister of Foreign Affairs,
and will then proceed to Salerno to have an inter-
view with Park.
