TO THE EDITOI OP THY IMPRIPM.

Sllt,—l thought the silence of contempt would
hen been our hest mower to the measure jut Ghee by the
government of December 2 relating to the Frencumeo
refugees abroad. The tale) repot?. given up by certain
newspapers concerning me oblige me to, en explsnetton.
My fondeet wish Is to return to France. Ido not care for
the name which the Boupartista, with smelt bad mete, give
to then set. Al.houelt they have written " Amneety" on
the gat* tluding it open, I would ease. If It were posatitle to
pass. 17 have no fenny to be au emigre, nor en imagioary
martyr; on the other hand I will not he a voluntary true-
poste.
Thank. to the self-respect shown by the English people,
we eon end do maintain through the world the standard of
the French republic. The Deem/buts, despairing of being
able t., ends our voices here, seek to entice as ballEk in order
to gag us. There is the true right of our measure for
rarefy no one aut attaibute a generous motive to damn.
The fa • new snare, laid by men expert in eoup.4 de Jerome.
What confidence an he pieced in their decree? Will
that be more emceed in their eyes than set oath?
Whet security can be found in the word of them said?
Hee cot this unprincipled men violated the most
edema engagements and betrayed every one? Mr. Boca-
pane is not a gentleman ; his word ktas lowa 'might than a
deed lei dung about in the mud by every wind. W. cannot
' trust him nor his accomplices. Men who make • Met of the
~th they have pledged will never consider themselves
bound by a few lieu Inserted in the Mottitriir, a journal
Lamed by Mumps the Moslems. (lice), since km been in the
present hands.
Never as we forgot the 2-ad of December—the hypocrisy,
cowardice. and measacre of that time; never can we forget
that the execrable authors of those sitarists odd, In CWII-
- ing them, that all was dons " m save the repulitic fn
danger." If wnild be folly In us to give ourselves up to
futures who wash their hands la blond, falsehood, end per-
jury. Between to and the " empire" so community is poles
able, for the "empire' Is crime.

F:ertoy part, I shall wait to return to uty country at my
own riot cud peril, the moment thou I eon expect to help la
arestablithieg with the republic the reign if laws and liberty.
As I have taken up my pen, let it be allowed we to pro-
test against those reputations of amnesty, mercy, clemency,
ice., which I fled even to English newspaper.. Mr. BASS-
parte I. no wore qualified to grant us on amnesty thou he
ever was to wind us is exile. It would be absurd to admit
him to mush right. The power he holds, he holds by rob-
. hery ; there! tee it la not his. Sirengthen and spread
this power as touch as you choose, it will always
mashie only the might of an aessesin. An
a.damin can take your life; he cannot .entente you to death.
Why, then, talk to us of "pardon?' Have sit notion. of
good and evil, of koala end injustice, oeriehed in the ship-
wreck of the French republic ? Sloes when ere the violators
of thetas. ;a matted to forgive its defenders ?
Mr. Bostaparte's decree is a niers of immorality. He to
glee us amnesty ? How can-this be! He steads under
a charp of the High Court of Justice of France of the 2nd
Hsestulir, 1861, which C01:11111i, him for triel for the crime
of high treason. It ie true that soldievs, by command of
generals of tarnished. repot/arm, have thrown hie ju'geo
overboard, but that waa ceded of brutal forte which cannot
alter eternal principles. As soon an the authority of the law
shall be established in our country any gendarmes as take
hitx to prison ut take hie trial. Toe rights of justice em in-
alienable. I wait with confideere their exercise.
I am, Sir, your obedient pitmans
