Is to be found in the documents communicated by the
Baba government to the clamber:

" On ►oatd the Foplorstore, Sept. 27, 1867.
" Dear Crispi.--Alter a meet deliberate Gambian= st
the situation, I see ►at one remedy whirl will give mans-
faction lathe nation sad the gwarrameat--to invade Rome
with the Italian army, and that at sane.
..

The geversment need sot expect to satisfyltaly in any
other way. film may paid= her misery—not her degrada-
tion. It is net the Italie& nation only that sow feels itself
insulted ; the army also feels insulted ; and it at Alazan-

MR. GOLDWIN SMITH OS THE REVISION OP
THE BRITISH CONSTITUTION.

(nor OUR snail. RIPORTZ.R.)
BRIGHTON, VIRIDAT.
This evening Mr. Goldwin Smith, late professor
of history et the University of Oxford, addressed •
crowded assemblage is the Town-ball. The meeting was
celled as the instance al theßrighton Reform League, and
the @abject of the lectors, as stated in the balls, was., "The
Revision of thelfaglidi In•idtatteu," but from the meaner
in which it was treated by the lecturer it resolved itself
bite • polities! speech on the necessity of revising the con-
stitution.
Mr. H. WuJArt eseapied the chair, and the platform
was crowded with the friends of the league. Amos(
them were the two members (Mr. Fawcett and Mr. White),
Colonel Disko*, Dr. Rose, the Revs. A. Creek, H.
Hasallien, and R. Itaglasel, Mr. Ooaingbam, the late mein-
her, Mr. C. Barrows, Mr. Merefield, Mr. Johnson, Mr.
Wallace, ha. Msay ladies were present. Mr. Goldwin
Smith, on entering the ball. was received with loud
*beers.

The CHAIZMAN, in introducing him to the meeting,
premed hie regret that so dietingnished an Englishman
wee shoat to Imre the eonntry, but Rejoiced that as he
was obliged to /sow he WAI going to Americo, bemuse be
was sure that he would prove a just representative of the
feelinp of the British people towards the population of
the United States. Ilr. G. Smith was now about to ad.
dress them on the Revision of English Institutions. The
word revision meant argument with the object of comm.
Bon and reform, and though some might be so
plemmitly situated as to think all change must
be for the worse, he could liken England to
orating so muc► as the image of the ancient Lar, whose
head was gold, the belly and arms silver, the body bison,
the lop of iron, and the feet of miry clay. Of the latter
point sea doubt could be entertained when they found that
nearly one in every twenty was a pauper. Anyone who,
like Mr. G. Smith, devoted his time, talents, and thought
to the improvement and education of the base of the
social system earned for himself the title of a tree patriot.
(Cheers.)

Mr. OoLDwin Simvn, as coming forward, was greeted
with renewed ebeering. Before entering on the subject
of kb lseturs, he said that he bad been asked
to deliver it in St. James's Hall, but, owing
to same difficulties and complications which
bad arisen between the Reform League and
the National Reform Asecudstica, he had found himself
unable to lecture in the cause of either in Loudon, bat be
woe determined that nothing should prevent hiss from
doing us in favour of tie Reform League in the provinces.
No one was more averse than he was to political agitation,
tat it had biome shealately neeenem7, and was distinctly
absaingeli by the party who opposed reform. 'When Sir
R. Peel changed his opinion on the subject of the corn
laws be did so openly sad avowedly, and be frankly ex-
plsiasci that the pentega the great measure of reps./
was owing to the unadorned eleopienos of Richard Cobden •

The Pitesilierr then continued—After waiting a reason.
21,:e time we thought proper to-day to order the removal
of Mr. Stanton, and to appoint General Thomas Secre-
t" of War ad interim. Thu is the whole story.
i'..nitt•rofliiralr —Was this step dismissed in the cabinet
coined, Mr. President?
The PIMSIDENT—No sir, not precisely. A general
policy was agreed upon, some time ago, and the removal
to day is in accordance therewith. I have just receive :1f a
oil, of the resolution adopted by the Seuste to-night in
iL cutive amnion. .

The rItINIDENT here reed the resolution.

dent, under that revolution if you still insist upon having

xeral Thomas art as aeoretary ad interim

Thel'lo,ll4:NT—l don't see that they can do anything.
The resolution itself is the end of the matter, so far as the
S.nate i, concerned, unless the house presents articles of
imtwachment and the Senate undertakes to try the execu-
tw and resolves itself into& high court of iippeachment.

1 our correspondent here asked what the President
a in the event of the pump of Mr. Edmunds'
MI/pension, to which the President answered sub-
" Sir, I would not obey the law if they at-
t. upted to suspend we. The law is clearly uncloostitu-
tud,..l. There is a point agaiut it which you gentlemen
of the press seem to have altogether overlooked. The
1.0! of S. Tutor Edmunds to suspend pending trial would
undoubtedly be an ex post facto law so far as my ease
• .11,1 be concerned. Such a law is declared uneoostitu-

by the very language of the constitution itself.
NJ offence, we will suppose, is the removal of lfr.
:q..nton. This is an accomplished fact. Any law pre-
'. 'thing a penalty for that sot would be e.r poet /ado, and
tla!efore unconstitutionaL How, therefore, can congress
viss a bill of such a character?"
1,.111. correspondent remarked that certain radicals
c .41A ..rgue that a petWstence in keeping Mr. Stanton out
of Ace aft. r the Senate's declaring his removal contrary to
Lu. and after the proposed passage of Mr. Edmnnda's
in,prinion bill, would be bringing the question out of the
op. ration of an er post facto law.
The Pagmlnewr replied that that could not alter the
as the offence charged would still be the removal of
11. Stanton—an act performed before the passage of the
pe,iposed law.
In reply to an inquiry as co whether the President had
seen General Thomas since the interview of the latter with
utanton, the President said—yes, and proceeded to
stdr what, according to his information, had caeurred at
that interview. " General Thomas," he said, " waited
xi. .a Hr. Stanton and showed to him the President's order
removing Mr. Stanton, and appointing him (General
noun) as Secretary of War ad into iwt. Mr. Stant, n
n... 1 the order, and asked Thomas whether he would be
atiged to vacate the office forthwith. Thomas said his bi-
st, actions were to assume control immediately. Stanton
a said be would like to have time to arrange and take
aay his papers and documents ; to which Thomas replied
a considerable time would be allowed for such per.
pu.. No time, however, was fixed for Mr. Stanton to
tt,ll hie arrangements."
..nr corespondent had some further conversation with
th. President, but the chief points have been given. The
Po•silent repeatedly expressed his utter indifference as to
■hat course congress might adopt on the impeachment
; and, in answer to a parting remark of your cor-
,r•pondent that the President might sleep soundly in
of the threatened impeachment, he said, laughing,
I don't think my @lumbers will be much disturbed by
Get. I shall sleep soundly, and awake rebuked."

it is stated to be Mr. Hardy's intention to intro-
duce a bill for the better regulation of cabs and embrace.

Many persons have lately been stopped by foot-
s al at Marseilles, who employ a new method of seizing
tuck victims—namely, by throwing a lasso over them.
These outrages have naturally caused great alarm in the
cyan. As a precaution against these attacks many of the
;;habitants, going out after nightfall in by-places, carry
• umbrella over their heads, although it may be a beau-
tiful starlight night.

Ann Mott, who aievicted last sessions of stealing •

Adolphe Vicarons and Emile (ley stook-dealers, of Led
sq Lion-uare, was brought up for judgment.
Mr. J. H. Lewis and Kr. Oollins arpeared on behalf of
the pieseautios.
At the last sessions this woman, together with her bar
band and her sister, were jointly sheered with these rob-
beries, but the trial ended in an acquittal of the husband
and the other woman. As several clocks had not been
recovered, judgment was deferred to give the prisoner an
opportunity of stating what had become of the other
clocks.
Kr. F. H. Lewis said the prisoner refused to give any
information as to what had become of the rest of the
stolen property, but the policemen had discovered one of
the clocks. There were still eve decks m
