PARIS, TRIOUDAT EVEIIKII.

The appeal of Orsini, Pieri, and de Radio is fixed
to come on before the Court of Caseation on Tues-
day next. It is said that there are really serious
points to be argued. If it should turn out that then
were any fatal irregularities in the conduct of the
trial, the only consequence would be that the pri-
soners would have to be tried over again. Stich a
result is, however, most improbable. Still more so,
I should think, is it that there can be any truth in
reports repeatedly circulated in foreign papers that
the Emperor intends to pardon Orsini. If he, the
principal conspirator, were to be saved, of course
the others could not be executed. Some say that
the Empress has pleaded earnestly for a commuta-
tion of punishment, and that it will be granted in
the case of de Radio. I know nothing, one way or
the other, touching the grounds for these reports,
but judging merely from the circumstances, I can
feel no doubt whatever that the law will
take its course as to all the three as-
sassins now under sentence of death. The
advocates who defended the prisoners in the
Assize Court cannot follow the case to the Court of
Caseation, where there is a special bar. MM. Bret
and Fournier are said to have been nominated offi-
cially, together with the battonnier of the advocates
of the Court of Cessation, to support the appeal, the
prisoners not having chosen any counsel. It appears
that M. Mathieu, who defended de Radio, has sub-
mitted a memoir to the Emperor, praying that his
client may not be condemned to heavier punishment.]
than Gomez, and has asked for an audience.

An Italian professor, well known to many Eng-
lish families here, disappeared shortly after January
14, and his pupils had no tidings of him till two or
three days ago. It now appears that he was arrested
merely because he was an Italian. He was
kept in prison live weeks, and there he
wu offered the alternative of a dark dun-
geon (eaehot), or as a privilege, a miserable mom
in which there was a little light, for the rent of
which, together with a slight improvement upon the
ordinary prison fare, he wu to pay efe. a day. For-
tunately for himself, he was able to purchase the
relative comforts accorded for that rum, although he
had no idea that he was likely to be detained foe so
long a period. At the end of Ave weeks he was re-
leased, with an assurance that there was nothing
whatever against him, and a civil expression of
regret that he had been pat to inconvenience. He
is fortunate to have escaped with only the
indignity and suffering of imprisonment, end the
considerable loss to a poor man of five weeks' forced
neglect of his profession, and a tax of Ur. per day.
If I mention this ease in detail, it is because it bone
which I happen to know. Bet, as Lord Brougham
