shall be gerainely Liberal in the comprehensii'inees
of its Dotal' and the directness of its views ; a party
that stall be truly national in the slemehts of which
it is composed, and in the spirit by which it is
animated, both as regards foreign and dome,-
tar policy. A painful consciousness has slowly
crept into the mind of the country that,
what with personal cabala and courtly influ-
ence, secret diplomacy and parliamentary jobbing,
the position which England once filled in Europe
as the inexorable arbiter between Oppression and its
victims, and between Absolutism and Liberty, has
been unworthily and unwisely abandoned, in the
vain attempt to form anti-national Alliances with the
retrograde Governments of the Continent. It is time
that an end should be pot to such a state of things.
It is time that England's proud and fearless tone
of fidelity to freedom, whatever shape it wears, and
of loyalty to law, however hateful its maintenance
may have become in the eyes of foreign despotism,
should be rs-asserted. Backsliding on the part of
cue particular clique, sad political poltroonery on the
part of another, can only create momentary disgust
or disappointment, but cannot turn aside the, nation
kem its purpose.

'THE BOMBAY MAIL

FRANCE AND THE REFUGEE QUESTION.

•• Vienna letter of the Bth, in the &arse Glasstte
of Berlin, says :—" We learn from good authority
that the French cabinet is preparing a memorandum
to persuade all the powers which signed the treaty
of Paris of the necessity of taking measures, at the
next Conference of Paris, relative to pol itical refu-
gees. Baron de Hubner had already made known
to the Austrian cabinet those intentions of the
French government, and Baron de Boarqueney
yesterday communicated to Count Boot the
principal points of the memorandum, and
sonidentiaLy asked for the opinion of the Austrian
government on the subject. Coant Baca is said to
have replied that he would make them known when
the memorandum arrived, and to have observed

that the meeting of the Conference was ss yet too
distant for it to be secesaary to point out the sub-
jects with which it would occupy itself ; that more-
over those subjects had been determined by the
Congress of Paris, and that the Conference would
only have to definitively arrange the affairs of the
Danubian Principalities, and to examine into the
labours of the Commission of the ltiverain States of
the Danube."

THE
ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION

OF THE
EMPEROR OF THE FRENCH.

EXECUTION OF ORSINI AND PIERI
AT PARIS.

(From the Nemirow of Beturday.)

The execution. of Giuseppe Andrea Pieri and of
Felice Orsini, condemned to the punishment of par-
ricides by the degree of the Court of Anises of the
Seine on the 26th of February last, took plaoe this
morning et seven o'clock on tae Place de la Roquette.
The oontlemned, informed at half-past five that their
appeal had been rejected, were assisted in their last
moments by Messrs. the Almoner Hagon and
Nottelet. This final expiation was accomplished in
the presence of a considerable crowd, evidently im-
pressed with the remembrance of the criminal
attempt on the 14th of January.
The sentence of death passed upon Carlo di Radio
has been commuted into that of hard labour for life.

PARIS, 8•11:11.DAT EVENING.
Orsini and Pieri were executed this morning. The
Emperor has thought fit to reprieve Di Radio, whose
sentence will doubtless be commuted into that of im-
prisonment, with bard labour, for life. He will, it is
believed, be sent to England in custody, to give evi-
deuce against Dr. Bernard.
Probably no execution in Paris ever attracted
so many would-be spectators as that of the regi-
cides of the Rue Lepelletier, and yet the number
of actual witnesses was fewer ;lan usual. Generally,
the secret of the day of an execution is so well kept
that few learn it except those who live in the imme-
diate neighbourhood of the spot where the scaffold is
erected. But on this occasion it was universally
known that the sentence was to be carried into
effect immediately after the rejection of the appeal
by the Court of Caseation. The fete of the ifi-
eareme (for reasons alluded to in a former letter)
gave an intervening day, and the rejection of the ap-
peal thus becoming public in Paris yesterday, it
was not doubted by any one last night that the
execution would take place this morning. The con-
sequence was that all night long there was unusual
animation in Paris. Thousands went towards the
Place de la Roquette even before midnight, hoping
that by long patience they might occupy a position
from which something at least of the terrible drama
could be seen. Others, who, though curious, were
not prepared to sacrifice • whole night's rest for
what every one knew to be a most doubtful chance,
rose at one, two, three, and four o'clock, and thus at
all hours of the night parties might be seen in almost
every street hurrying towards the scene of action. I
myself crossed the Rue Itivoli at four in the morn-
ing, and then the heavy measured tread of a batta-
lion of infantry, passing along in marching order at
that dead hour of darkness, -left no doubt whatever
thct the bloody business was about to come off. But
such extraordinary precautions were taken to prevent
the possibility of any disorder (not to say f meiste, of
which, however, there were apprehensions) that
only an infinitesimal fraction of the vast numbers that
had turned out could see so much as a square inch
of a single beam of the guillotine. The present
place of public execution in Paris, which
a few years ago was substituted for the old one at
the Barrier. St. Jacques, is situated in front of the
principal gate of the Prison de la Roquette. The
larger prison, des James Detenue, is exactly opposite,
on the other side of the Rue de la Roquette. The
space called the Place de la Roquette, planted with
young trees, is not larger than a slip of waste land
by a roadside, so inconsiderable that an English
court would hold it to belong to the sdjoining free-
hold and not to the lord of the manner. Unless you
are admitted to this small open "place"—and none but
the military and police are allowed to be there—the
only place oat of doors from which a good view of
the scaffold can be had is from the Rue de la
Roquette, at the corner of the Rue St. Maur, or
from the upper end of the Rue de la Roquette, inside
the barrier of Aulney, which is exactly opposite the
entrance to Pere la Chaise. There are a very few
houses in the Rue de la Roquette itself from
which the scaffold might be seen. It is said
that the present locality was selected originally in
consequence of the stirring pictures of executions
drawn by Eugene Sue and Jules Janin, and with
the express view of battling public curiosity. If this
be so, few spots could have been better chosen for
the purpose. Although the Place de la Roquette is
commanded on many. sides by high ground, the
angles of the two prisons prevent the fatal portals
from being seen from any of the neighbouring streets.
There are some enclosed gardens near the prison of
the Jeunes Detenue, from which, if it were desired
to encourage &public exhibition,good views might be
obtained; but these are private property; and on this
occasion sentries were placed to prevent the public.
from breaking into them. There were, however,
to-day, reasons (what they may have been pre-
cisely I can only conjecture), beyond the laudable
desire to prevent the last dread retribution of human
law from being made an occasion for indecent revelry
and an indulgence of prurient curiosity, which induced
the authorities to keep the public at arm's length.
An unusual number of troops were brought upon the
ground. The early spectators who, in spite, perhaps,
of remonstranoes on the part of policemen, had taken

up their positions in plaCes oonaidered to be public,
commanding a view of the guillotine, were remorse-
lessly driven away by the military. In some few
instances, people arriving at the last moment con-
trived to occupy privileged spots from which others
who had painfully held them for hours had been
ousted. From four in the morning military occupa-
tion was taken of the streets leading into the Rue
de la Roquette, and it was impossible to approach
within a quarter of a mi e of the prison. But this
is not all. The private houses opposite the prison
were entered by the police, and all the people who
had paid for seats in the windows were turned out.
This fact is reported to me by persons who had paid
25 francs for a place. A seller of /minor/el/es, named
Philips, living at No. 186, Rue de la Roquette, had
let his frontage for 300 francs. AU the occupants
were turned out shortly before the execution. These
extraordinary measures lead to the belief, and
indeed it is difficult to imagine any other ground
which could justify them, that the government feared
that Orsini-shells might be thrown from the windows
at the troops surrounding the scaffold. It is certain
that an attempt to break open the prison and rescue
the prisoners had been apprehended for some time.
I hear it said, but do not guarantee the fact, that the
insurrectionary assemblage in Paris on the night of
the 4th and sth, which the MoisiUur alluded to
without mentioning the locus in quo, was connected
with an attempt of this kind. It is impossible to say
with any approach to accuracy what may have been the
number of persons who attempted to see the execu-
tion. I have heard it estimated at from 100,000 to
200,000. For myself I can form no idea except
that, judging from the crowds I saw converging to.
wards the prison, the numbers must have been un-
preoedently large. Bat the military dispositions
were so well taken that the crowd was cut into
megrim and hemmed in in particular streets, from
which no one could emerge to gain another spot in
the neighbourhood of the central point of attraction
without making a very large circuit In the Rues
Bt. Maur, JPopinoourt, La Muette, Les Amending
de Popinconrt, the street inside the walls of Paris,
and the Boulevards outside, crowds were seen for
hours before dawn hurrying backwards and for-
wards, in the vain hope of finding a better
I position.
After this long introduction, which, however con-
tains an epitome of all that was really seen by the
general public, who " went to see the execution,"
the description of the catastrophe itself is short and
matter of fact. What may have passed within the
prison walls I cannot tell, but at a quarter to seven
o'clock the front door of the Pequette was thrown
open. A little while afterward', and as nearly as
possible as the clock struck seven, two figures of
men in white shirts, with long black veils on their
heads, and barefooted (according to the letter of the
sentence on perricides), were seen walking towards
the guillotine. Two priests and several other men

(the executioner and his assistants) were by their
sides. The men walked without support. One (Orsini,
I believe) stooped his head a little. The distance from
the door of the prison to the foot of the scaffold was
not more than 30 yards. The two prisoners began to
mount the steps almost together, but Pieri arrived
first on the platform. He was instantly strapped to
the fatal plank, the black veil being pulled off at the
same moment, and in an incredible short space of
time his head was off. Orsini, while the knife was
descending upon his accomplice, was suddenly laid
hold of by two assistants, and from motives of huma-
nity turned round so that he might not see the
working of the instrument which, a minute later,
was to send him into tb, new world. His own few
was immediately afterwards accomplished with
equal rapidity. It was not, as lam told, more than
four minutes from the time that the condemned ap.
=at the prison gate before all was over. The
were at once placed in a closed van and con.
ducted by an escort of gendarmes right through the
heart of Paris to the MontParnasse Cemetery, where
they werebiuied in that special place for criminals called
Clamart, and which is often wrongfully confounded
by readers of Jules Janin's " L'Ane )torte et la
Femme Guillotines," with the beautiful village of
Clamart, near Meudon.

I should have mentioned that the great, the only,
prominent feature which struck the spectators was
that there were but two men instead of three.
Rudio was reprieved. Both Pierri and Orsini died
with great firmness. I believe it to be certain.
from much testimony which I have sifted, that
Pierri, while walking to the scaffold, sang the song
of the Girondins, " Monrir pour la Patrie," and
that Orsini cried "Vive la Republique, Vive la
France, Vive l'ltalie." •
Orsini, on being asked what he would like for his
breakfast, chose an omelet au lard (an omelet with
bacon), and said gaily, " Si on me coupe le con,
j'aurai en moles gras an corps."

The system pursued on the trial, of prohibiting all
reports except those censured by the authorities, is
applted to the execution. The journals of this even-
ing are allowed to publish notlungbut the following
" The execution of Orsini and Pierri took place
this morning at 7 o'clock, on the Place de la Roquette.
The sentence of death passed on de Radio hut
by the clemency of the Emperor, been commuted into
hard labour for life."

PARIS, SUNDAY EVENING.
The only accounts of the execution allowed to be
published in France are those contained in the Ga-
zette des 7 ribuyeaux and the Droit. I subjoin the
greater part of their tratements, omitting only de-
tails of course which I sufficiently described yes-
terday.
The Gazette des Tribuau.r says :
. . . tt_

During their stay in the Roquette prison, to which they
were removed after the rejection of their appeal by the Court
I of Caseation, Orsini and Pierri maintained the same attitude
which they had exhibited at the trial. Orsini was always
self-possessed and calm ; be spoke but little, and appeared
almost always plunged in deep meditation. On tie rare co.
orations on which he conversed, he said when speaking of hie
trial, that he had no complaint to make against French
justice, and that ell the judges and magistrates concerned in
the case had honourably done their duty, He listened with
respectful deference to the exhortations of Abbe Hugon, the
prison chaplain. He ate but one meal a day, and the only
favour he asked was that his ration of wine might be aug-
mented. Pierl4 was In a state of continual excitement ; he
talked and gesticulated incessantly, disputing with the
keepers about everything, and even trying to find matter for
controversy in what was said to him by the chaplain. • •
Yesterday evening a judge of instruction, and a substitute
of the Imperial Procureur, went to the prison to be in nu&
new to take down any declarations which the prisoners might
he desirous of =king. At six in the morning the governor
of the prison and Abbe Hugon went to Oraini's cell, and
announced to him that the fatal moment bad arrived. Or-
sini merely replied that he was ready. The governor, ao-
companied by the Abbe Nottelet, the chaplain
to the Conciergerie, then went to the adjoining
oell, that occupied by Pierri, and told him that he
must prepare to die. At this news Picini became ex-
tremely agitated, and with an air of forced assurance he
asked for his breakfast, and a cup of ooffee with some runt.
While eating the food which was supplied to him, he was IS
a state of feverish agitation, indicated by his voice and
gestures. After taking his coffee and rum, he salted with
much importunity, and even anger, for more rum, or at least
for some wine. He constantly interrupted the Abbe Nottelet.
Orsini, who refused to take any food, asked for a glass of
rum, and begged to drink to the health and happiness of the
governor. The two prisoners were then conducted to the
chapel, where they remained for a short time,
°mini, who had cordwood to the Abbe Hagan
the evening before, knelt down devoutly. Nerd
also knelt down, and this was the only moment at
which he was calm and silent. They were soon afterwezde
taken to a room adjoining tbegrefe,where they were handed
over to the Paris executioner, who was misted by the exe.
cutioner of Rouen. During the final preparations, Orsini
remained unmoved. He said a word to Pierri fn Italian,
begging him to be calm. Pierri became more and more ex-
cited, talking and gesticulating wildly, as if trying to keep
up his failing courage. The funeral cortege was soon la
motion ; the prisoners, with bare feet, clothed in long white
shirts and black veils over their heads, were marched out of
the prison. Pierri came first, attended by the Abbe Notteht
and the executioner of Paris. Orsini followed, with the Abbe
Hove and the executioner of Rouen. {On entering the court•
yard of the prison, Pierri,whose features were convulsively con.
Marta, sad whom feverish excitement increased, attempted
to sing the song of the Girondins, and continued to sing with
broken secede to the foot of the scaffold. The prisoners
mounted the stem, and as soon as they reached the platform
they remained exposed to the gaze of the spectators for a few
moments, while a hui,sier read the sentence upon them
The executioners then seized Pierri, who attempted to re•
sums his song. and whose voice only died away under the
knife. Orient, who till then had remained silent, cried
Vire r zea. " Vive la Femme I " and then resigned
himself to the executioners. By seven o'clock all was 0914

Europe had received he legitimate expiation. The salient*
of death peered upon Audio bee been commuted into that
of imprisonment, with hard labour, for life. He received
the news of this act of imperial clemency with the warmest
expressions of gratitude.

The Droit girea substantially the same account.
I subjoin the few interesting details which are not
to be found in the former journal:
The Abbe Hugon went to Orsini's 01l on Friday, end
without telling him that the Court of Causation had
rejected his appeal, asked whether, in the position in which
he wee, he did not desire to receive the consolations of nits
'ion and to reconcile his soul to God. Orsini calmly se
espied this propose', sad at once confessed to the Alibi.
• • • On the fatal news being communicated to Pier',
was greatly excited, and muttered threats, but on the rope-
@catenate of the evernor and the chaplains he became
calmer and promised not to my or do anything violent, only
be said he would sing a hymn to his country. • • • •
After what is called the toilette Pierri said to Orsini, "
old fellow F' The latter merely replied, "Be calm—be
calm." After his coffee Pierri asked for a second glass of
rum, which was refused him. • • • • When the
black veil was put on his head, he said "They are dressing
me up like an old coquet." When his shoes and stocidegt
were taken off be exclaimed, "Luckily I washed my feet
yesterday." • • • • Neither of the prisoners mods
any revelations to the Judge of Instruction, who was be
waiting to take down any that they might have desired
to make. On his way to the scaffold Pierri said to the Abbi
Nottelet, who offered his arm to support him, " Never fear,
lam not afraid. lam going to Calvary." He began to
sing the song of the Girondins, "Mourir pour la Petrie "
he left the prison, and continued humming it on the snick].
Orsini, who till the lee moment was silent, cried, " The
Finale! Viva la France!"
