A similar in reply to Count Baas has been ad-
dremsd by the Prom= government to the States of

frage which in about 98 cues out of every 100
grata overwhelming majorities to government can-
The occasion for the 'tutting novelty
of a debate on " purity of election" in the Imperial
Chamber of Deputies was the presentation by M.
Lancosme-Brives, the defeated candidate at the last
election for the Indre, against the return of the
sitting member, M. Charlemagne, on the ground of
multiplied acts of fraud and intimidation committed
by the government agents. The petition was re-
ferred to the 4th bureau, which duly and compla-
cently reported that it contained no facts sufficiently
authentic (rien de probant) to justify an inquiry.
This verdict of "not proven," when the only Mane
was whether or not there should be an inquiry into
I alleged facts which could not possibly be brought
forward in the first instance otherwise than by way
of allegation, indicates pretty plainly the real, u
distinguished from the official, opinion of the bureau.
When notice was given that the report of the bureau
would be brought before the house for con-
firmation, it wu agreed in the lobbies that the
attack upon it should be led by some of those men
who, although originally government nominees,
occasionally exhibit a certain hankering after a re-
putation for independence, and sometimes call them-
selves the moderate opposition. One of these, M.
Anatole Lemercier, bad undertaken to begin the
debate, but at the last moment, just as Count de
Morny had taken the chair, he informed M. Emile
011ivier, the leader of the small section of the real
opposition, that he did not mean to speak. The con-'
sequence--the doubtless calculated consequence—'
was that the liberal party was left to do battle un-
prepared. This kind of thing happens repeatedly
when a question of any importance is likely to be
brought forward. The soi-disant moderate opposi-
tion say to the liberal members—" Now, here is a
very strong cue ; let os argue it t there is a preju-
dice against yon your intervention will do more
harm than good, bat leave it to us and you will see,
this time, how we will yindieate the independence
of the house." Then, after all this "gallant show
and promise of their mettle," whoa the time comes
for action their hearts fail them, and they leave the
liberals and the independence of the Chamber to take
care of themselves. However, two of the opposition
members for Paris, M. Picard id M. Emile 011ivier,
though taken by surprise, stood manfully fbeward
and ventilated some home truths never before uttered
in that liveried company.
The report of the fourth bureau was confirmed
without a division, about one-fourth of the hones
holding op their hands against it.
The Boone opened with some linanoss, and the
Rents rose about in., bat it soon gave way, and not-
withstanding a alight favourable reaction at the close,
lertoff with a fall of 10e. and 16c., at 87.90 and 137.86.

BALLOON AOCLOMT.

The Newcastle Chronicle of yesterday gives al
account of the sweat of a balloon in that town on Monday
evening, the eartment being Captain Hall, who on the bal-
loon's release from 111. bondage proceeded to perform various
trapeze exploits, among whit* was the suspending himself
by the foot at a height of_ 1000 feet from the ground.
Captain Han having proceeded for about twenty minutes
descended in the Haworth distrfst, not far from Pelaw.
The balloon wee seen to descend In a elover-field by
a fanner and his eon, who were employed is the adjoin-
ing inclose». The hedge prevented them seeing exactly
what occurred, but there is no doubt that the our reached the
ground in safety. There wart but very little wind at the time,
and the descent took place In a most favourable situation.
There can belittle doubt, however, that the grappling iron
failed to keep its hold, and that the balloon dragged a few
yards along the ground, musing some of the ballast to be
upset, thus leseeniog the weight to be sustained. At that
moment the daring voyageur seems to have been getting out
of the car when the balloon roe with sudden velocity, he
caught his feet in the ropes, and wee whirled unexpectedly
into the air. For a moment he was seen lunging with his
head downwards, in the next the rope was disentangled, sad
be fell bite the clover-field beneath, • diatent* certainly not
lees than 120 fan. The persona near him immediately ma
to his anistance ; to their surprise he was not dead, but
*peke in on incoherent manner, complaining that he was
nearly suffocated by gee. Immediately afterwards, how-
ever, he wee found to be Innosible, and was carried into
" &We Hoses" to the mansion of H. L. Paqineun, Esq.,
who hammed to the spot, and personally rendered all toe
aid he could give. Mr. Grant, a Burgeon, redder; In the
vicinity, was seat for, and was promptly in attendance.
Upon careful examination it was diaoorwed that no bones
wave broken, nor were there wounds of any hind. The
right shoulder and side of the neck were severely taw
tubed, and the patient compleieed of a sense of tramp
the muscles there. When first brought in he wee
leg from collapses and shock, but shortly afforest*
revived, and asked for hi. wife. A slight delirium super-
vened, after which he sank into a deep sleep, without any
serious symptoms. The utmost care and attention were
bestowed open him by the gentleman into whose hones he
bad bees case. The balloon having lost ballast, and being
freed from the weight of the voyageur, rose Immediately is
an annual height, carrying with it the clothes belonging to
Captain Hall, a purse containing a pound's worth of silver,
end abide dog, the aeroaant's constant and faithful comps-
don on his many previous journeys. The direction of the
balloon on having the Felber; was south-east, bat having
risen to another current of air, wee rapidly carried to the
east and we. moan out of sight. Capetian Hall has thus loot
the whole of his property and present metes of livelihood.

MEXICO.

NEW ORLEANS, Avoter S.

We have received advices from Vere Cruz to the
28th, and from the city of Menlo* to the 19th July.
Miramon had issued a manifesto in which he pro-
mises to protect the clergy in their power and wealth,
favours the plan of a dictatorial government, and
declares it to be the traditional policy of Mexico to
guard spinet the encroachments of the United
States.

Mr. *Lane, the American minister, had only sent
the skeleton of a treaty to Wuhington, and that was
unsigned.
The Tehuantepec Company continued to be an-
noyed by the authorities, in consequence of which
the mail would probably be suspended soon.
General Zeguni was approaching Luis Potosi with
5,000 men. Miramon's troops were concentrating at
Regenti. It was reported that some grand move-
ment was afloat.

THE ROMAN STATE&

A letter from Rome of the 19th, in the Gazette der
MA says that the speech of the Emperor Napo-
leon to the Legislative Body determined the Pontifi-
cal Court to renew the demand for evacuation which
it made two years ago at Bologna, and it at ones
charged the Ministers of France and Austria to
make known to their governments that eines that
period it bee tolerated, but not approved of their
ecoupatiso. This communisation was immeilingy
transmitted to Purls and Vienna. The demand for
evacuation wee to be followed by a memorandum to
all the powers of Miro" in which the demand
would, it was said, be clearly set forth.
The Pointe du Kai observes This communi-
cation, to our great surprise, affirms that the Pope
has taken the lead in the demand for evacuation,
and offers to realise it immediately. Bat by wbai

means will he replace the assistanee of Francs and
Austria, and supply the deficiency of his army,
which only amounts to 16,000 men for a state of
three millions and • half of inhabitants ? That is
an sagas which appears difficult of solution."

AUSTRIA.

VIENNA, FvDAY.

The official Austrian Correspondenoe pablishes
an imperial order addressed to the Minister of War.
The order commands the recall of all furloughed
soldiers belonging to certain regiments stationed in
Italy, the districts for supplying conscripts to whisk
lie in more distant quarters. The object of the
order is to effect the gradual completion of the NI.
manta. The Correspondent point" oat that the
object of these measures is purely dafeasive, and that
they are adopted in consequence of the warlike pre-
parations in Sardinia.
