Decidedly the late signal victory of the democratic party
in Paris has disturbed M. Bonaparte's mind, and is about
throwing him into enormities.
His thoughts are troubled by fright and terror. Yester-
day the ghost had name Beranger, whose glorious remains
he would have escorted to their resting place by an army
of thirty thousand men, each soldier carrying sixty
cartridges and provisions for a three days' campaign,
and directed by this ferocious order, "On them, they
are barbarians ! (sus aux barbares .1) Let them be
crushed, as they were on the 2nd December, 1851. And
who were those barbarians ? The 250,000 Republican
elec4ors of Paris.
To-day it is by means of a dark and appalling plot he
strives to terrify public opinion, and with that well-known
obstinacy of his, he takes up again the scheme he had
imagined four months ago, when he despatched towards
me an agent provocateur whom I had to expose to public
shame and confusion.
Thus, as it might have been the case under the tyrants
of ancient Greece and Rome, my name is placed upon a
list of prosctiptione, without, I emphatically affirm it, my
ever having known or seen any of the so called conspirators
in the hands of M. Bonaparte; without my ever having.
directly or indirectly, communicated with either of them
in any Way whatever. This I state as a fact, as an unde-
niable fact. Bat what of that ? The active share I
took in the last elections was quite sufficient to instil into
M. Bonaparte's mind an increased dose of hatred, and a
burning wish to satisfy his spite and vengeance at my
expense.
Before any regular and free tribunal, I s)lemnly swear,
his public accuser, deprived not only of all evidence, but
even of the slightest adminicle or shade of probability,
would not dare to face me.
A regular tribunal! That, of a certainty, is not what
M. Bonaparte is in search of ; whilst, on the other side,
before a mock coart of justice, where the absent accused
is tried without knowing anything of the proceedings,
depositions of witnesses, aye, of the very indictment
brought in against him, where there is neither jury nor
defence—if even he were charged with having pocketed
the steeple of Notre Dame or Westminster Abbey, he
would helplessly and unavoidably be convicted, for the
only reason of his being absent, and a contuman. Such
are, by a rest of barbarity, the dispositions of the imperial
code, vastly different, in that respect, from the English
law.
Thus, M. Bonaparte would be the sole winner, and his
scheme is obvious. It runs to the following effect: "Being
already convicted for life, in vain would you, by your
presence, conjure a second condemnation ; once I get hold
of you, your doom is sealed, and nothing shall save you
from rotting in my dungeons."
A contrivance of that kind would, forsooth, be most con-
venient. It would be sufficient to find in France three of
those judges, who, after having indicted M. Bonaparte for
the crime of high treason, degraded themselves to becoming
his scides —and, abroad, a government cowardly enough to
execute their demands, in order to b tnish from the earth
the last resting place, the last asylum open to political
exiles. Civilisation itselt wou d henceforth become a sub-
ject of regret, and a bane; for, under the sway of the Greek
and Roman tyrants of old, a few corners of safe conceal-
ment, in for.resses and wildernesses, wet e at least left to
honest patriots.
In the same measure as extradition in matters of ordi-
nary crimes stands in conformity with common law, and
deserves to be hailed as a blessing of peace and enlighten-
ment—so, extradition, applied to political offences, would
be a stain upon civilisation, and a scourge to humanity.
The nation capable of granting it for the sake of whatever
earthly considerations or momentary expediency, would
infallibly lower itself to the last stage of ignominy.
"But there is no q 'elation of p elides," I am told, " but of
murder."
Of murder, indeed ! Where, then, was murder com-
mitted? The accusation itself dares not utter the words
of a " commencement of execution." What they talk of
is a plot, a conspiracy (complot), a different thing alto-
gather, since the most Dzaconiafi law has embodied the
principle that, so long as no real attempt is made, the
conspirators may have altered their minds. Besides, if
you speak of a plot (comp/o!), you necessarLy name a
political crime—the expresion complot "in French law,
being only and exclusively applied to political matters. I
defy the most acute of your Imperial lawyers to quote a
case—a single one—where it ever was used in a different
sense.

LIVERPOOL CATTLE MARKET.—JuLy 27.
Beef sold to day at fully former prices. The decrease
in the supply of sheep and lambs enabled the decline of last
week to be fully recovered and a fair clearance was
effected of all descrip'ions. The numbers at market
were-1,583 beasts, 12,161 sheep and lambs. The wool
market has been very quiet during the week. We do not
quote any alteration in price, 1711 to 181 for good mixed
parcels.

Murder ! you say. We hive heard of such, indeed,
but not in the present instance. I, for one, know of an
attempt of murder comin'tted at Strasbourg', in 1836, by
M Bonaparte. Let him answer the question. Was he
given up by Switzerland when he went there to shelter
himself ? Did noble and powerless Switzerland not pre-
fer, on the contrary, rushing to arms rather than to
abandon him.
I have a precise knowledge of el,
ane--erattempt of murder
committed by the same, M. Bonaparte, at Boulogne, in
1840. Well, that was the fugitive from Ham, the guest of
England, surrenderedo the French Government? Nay,
was he at least expel lglil from the British soil at the urgent
and reiterated request of Louis Phillippe, then in a close
and cordial alliance with this country ?
These were attempted murders of undeniable reality, the
last of them at least, duly and fully established before tribu-
nal, judging not in the absence, but undertheveryeye of the
very accused, murders by which M. Bonaparte was prelud-
ing and initiating the deliberate violation of a sworn con-
stitution, the wholesale butcheries and massacres on the
boulevards on the 4th o'f December, the prescription of a
hundred thousand families—all of them crimes for which
the Times has gratified him with the names of perjurer,
butcher, and assassin. Whilst, on the other hand,
in the present circum.tances, the accuser himself, let it be
well borne in mind, does not g so far as even to allude to
a commencement of action.
" Still, at any rate, no government granting hospitality
to exiles can possibly allow them to conspire upon its
territory, and involve it in war with a friendly power."
Undoubtedly not. But there is no need of doing so.
It is to the credit of the law of this country to have, in its
wisdom, provided for such an emergency, and armed
Government with the necessary powers of prosecuting the
culprits before the English courts of justice. A memorable
instance is on Record from the time of the First Bonaparte.
Moreover, in the sitting of the House of Peers of the 4th
of March, 1853, the most eminent statesmen and lawyers,
Lords Lyndhurst, Brougham, and Aberdeen, and the Lord
Chancellor, eloquently expounded and corroborated the
constitutional principles under the shelter of which there
is no necessity of recurring either to eat aliti on or even
to an Alien Bill, but merely to apply to foreigners the
common law of England.
In conclusion, the pretended plot being affirmed to have
originated in London, if at all, m consequence of it, I were
to be comprised in a prosecution, it is that common law of
England Ido invoke : to it Ido appeal. In return of the
hospitality given to me by Great Britain for these eight
years, I feel in duty bound openly to meet justice and to
enlighten its conscience. I, myself, then, at.k for a trial
before an English tribunal and jury. There, at least, some-
thing more will be required than an inveterate hatred ;
there, I feel sure, I shall meet with every guarantee of a
fair, an unbiassed, and independent trial. A British court
of justice, a native jury, to Judge me with the serenity
and uprightness of fait, men, England owes to herself
even more than to me. For, should England submit to
execute, without verification—let me not term it a judg-
ment : I already said it, no such thing any more in
political matters in France, but—a decree of spite and
revenge, England would not hit M 9, since, by making a
martyr of me, she would yet afford me an opportunity of
serving the cause I have been defending my whole life ;
England would wound herself ; herself alone she would
cover with approbrium before history.
No ambiguity then. The French Government, by using
the word "contiAt,"
.have themselves acknowledged that
they rest their acquisition upon a political fact, an ex-
clusively political fact, since the word "complot " has, in
the French juridical language, no other meaning.
The question, therefore, is one of political extradition,
the bearing of which is not confined within the narrow
bound of individual, or even national interests, lofty though
they may be, but a question which involves the highest
principles of liberty, justice, morality, and human
conscience. LZDRIT ROLLIN.

Although there is no perceptible increase in the
demand for Money, there is less confidence in
commercial circles, and the absence of any news
from India is causing some uneasiness. In the
Market for the Public Funds and Securities to day
there was very little doing, an 1 prices have suffered
a further decline of 1-16 per eent. Consols for
Money closed at 911 to 911, and for the Account at
911 to 91/ ; Exchequer Bills 6 dis to par ; and the
New Three Per Cents at 911 to 911.
The London R tilway Share Market was very
inactive to-day, but, on the whole, rather steady.
The following were the closing prices :-Cale-
donian, 751, 76 ; E tsterri Counties, 111, 111;
East Lancashire, 96, 97 ; Great Northern,
971, 981; Geoat, Western of Canada, 211, 22 ;

The supply of foreign _Wheat, Barley, and Oats
at the London Market to-day were heavy, and there
was no change to notice in prices. Flour Market
slow at last Monday's prices for English, but an
improved demand for foreign caused art advance
of ls. per sack. St. Petersburg Oats and Barley
Is. to 2s. cheaper.
The following is a report of to-day's London Wool
sales :-" Mr. H. P. Hughes has disposed of up-
wards of 2,000 bales to-day. The sales continue to
be well attended, and the prices realised have sup-
ported the advance already noticed."
Some demand for money is likely to be created
by the preparations for the despatch of troops to
India. The total to be expended in connection with
the steam and other transports lately hired cannot
fall much short of half a million, and, as the pay-
ment of two-thirds of the amount is to be delayed
until after the arrival of the vessels in India, the
contractors will have to wait nearly six months
before they can be reimbursed. Ultimately the
remittance from India will operate beneficially,
and serve to counteract the effect of a diminution
hi the consignment of goods to that market.
The Netherlands Land Enclosure" Company
have issaed a report preparatory to their meeting
on the 30th. The operations of the past twelve
months have been favourable, not only as regards
the amount of additional land redeemed, bat also
as to the crops obtained from the portions sown
with colza last year.
The Portuguese Government have invited ten-
ders for the construction of an artificial port at
the Island' of St. Michael, in the Azores. Any
individuals or companies, native or foreign, may
join in the competition.
The Government of Buenos Ayres have pub-
lished certain modifieations of the tonnage and
import duties levied by that State.
The American papers contain the following with
regard to the re-organization of the Collins line of
mail steamers :-
COLLINS LINE OF STEAMERS -We are informed that
the Columbia, which made her last passage to New York
in 111 days, will make one more trip so as to leave Liver-
pool the sth of August. She will be followed by the
Atlantic on the 19th of August, the Baltic on the 2nd of
September, and the new steamer Adriatic will sail from
New York either on the 29th of August or the 12th of
September, as may be directed by the United States'
Government. The Atlantic and Baltic have been tho-
roughly repaired, the line will thus be complete, and it is
expected will resume its popularity and claim to public
patronage."
The amount paid into the Treasury of the East
India Company for bills on India from the 9th to

Stocks were rather steadier. Sterling Exchange
was inactive at 1091 to 1091. Freights were dull.
Broadstuffs had been lower, but on the receipt of
the America's advices on the 16th, an active
demand set in, and the market closed buoyantly,
at an advance of JO cents on flour. In the Cotton
Market, prices had aelvenced 1 cent per lb. Stocks
at all parts had run down to 156,000 bales, about
one-third of which was at New York, another
third at New Orleans, and remainder at other
