A POLITICAL PRISONER BEATEN TO
DEATH IN NAPLES.

A letter in the Paris Presse says :—" I give

you the following from a certain source. Every-
body now knows of the death of the unfortunate
Lorenzo, who was bastinadoed for having replied
with dignity to the insults of the sbirro Cam-
pagna. It should bo known that Lorenzo's
bonrreaux were ordered to pause four minutes be-
tween every blow of the stick, and the number of
blows awarded was one hundred ! The surgeon
in attendance remonstrated after the fiftieth stroke,
and declared that if the punishment was carried
further death must inevitably ensue. But neither
the generous intervention of the surgeon nor the
piercing shrieks of the victim could stay the
executioners. The hundred blows were scrupu-
lously administered (the four minutes' interval
being observed throughout), and after a torture
which lasted seven hours the unfortunate man
was transported to the prison hospital, where he
very speedily expired."

The Vienna Fremden Blatt asserts that the
Russians have concluded "another armistice with
Schamyl for the term of six months."

The following remarkable paragraph appears in
the Corriere _ltalian° of Vienna, a paper often
quoted as semi-official :—Tho course to be fol-
lowed by the Allies in the Crimea, after the taking
of Sebastopol, will depend on the attitude of the
states of Central Europe. A more energetic
policy on the part of our Cabinet, we are firmly
persuaded, is the only one capable of accelerating
the conclusion of a peace so ardently desired by all
Europe.

The rupture between the Sardinian and Tuscan
Governments is complete.

THE CZAR'S ADDRESS TO
HIS ARMY.

The following is the text of the order of the day
addressed by the Emperor Alexander to the Rus•
sian army, on the taking of Sebastopol. It is dated
" St. Petersburg, Sept. 11 :"
" The defence of• Sebastopol, which has been so
prolonged, and which is perhaps unexampled in
military annals, has attracted the attention not
only of Russia but of all Europe. From its very
outset, it placed its defenders on the same rank as
the most illustrious heroes of our country. For a
space of eleven months the garrison of Sebastopol
has disputed with a powerful enemy each foot of
ground, and each of its enterprises has been dis-
tinguished by acts of the most brilliant bravery.
The obstinate bombardment renewed four times,
and which has been justly called infernal, shook
the walls of our fortifications, but could not shake
or diminish the zeal and perseverance of its de-
fenders. They fought the enemy or died with in-
domitable courage, and, with an abnegation worthy
of the soldiers of Christ, without once thinking of
yielding. In regretting with all my heart the loss
of so many generous warriors, who have offered
their lives as a sacrifice to the country, and, in sub-
mitting myself with veneration to the judgment of
the Almighty, who has not been pleased to crown
their acts with complete success, I believe it my
sacred duty to express on this occasion, in my own
name and in that of all Russia, to the brave garri-
son of Sebastopol, the most profound gratitude for
their indefatigable labours, for the blood which
they have shed in the defence for nearly a year of
the fortifications which they raised in the course of
a few days. But there is an impossibility, even for
heroes ! The Bth of this month, after six desperate
assaults had been repulsed, the enemy succeeded in
obtaining possession of the important Korniloff bas-
tion, and the General-in-Chief of the army of the
Crimea, desiring to spare the precious blood of his
companions which under these circumstances would
only have been uselessly shed, determined on pass-
ing to the northern side of the place, leaving to the
enemy only blood-stained ruins. These heroes,
objects of the general esteem of their comrades,
will no doubt offer, on re-entering the ranks of the
army, new examples of the same warlike virtues.
With them and like them, all our troops animated
with the same unlimited faith in Providence, and
the same ardent love for me and their country,
will always and everywhere combat with courage
the enemies who touch the honour and the integrity
of the country ; and the name of Sebastopol which
has acquired immortal glory by so many sufferings,
and the names of its defenders will live ' eternally
in the hearts of all Russians with the names of the
heroes who immortalised themselves in the battle
fields of Pultawa and Borodino.

" ALEXANDER."

FRANCE.

PARIS, WEDNESDAY EVENING.
Tho official reports of the Commander-in-Chief
of the French army are waited for with the utmost
impatience. It is hoped that they will be given
to the public.in Friday's Moniteur.
The Moniteur publishes tho following from
Stockholm, dated Sept, 12 The hat news of

the capture of Sebastopol reached Stockholm by
way of St. Petersburcr. On the 11th the despatches
from Paris confirmed that great event. Great was
the joy of the population, and, as the people pos-
sess more feeling than diplomacy, they did not fear
to give vent to it. Many of the merchantmen at
anchor in the port were decorated with flags. At
night many of the houses were illuminated, and
crowds proceeded to a garden of public amusement
which had announced that, in honour of the happy
news of the fall of Sebastopol, the grounds would
be brilliantly illuminated."
The Constitutionnel thinks tke announcement that
10,000 horses were about to be shipped at Mar-
seilles must have been a mistake of the telegraph.
A Constantinople letter of the 6th, in the Semaphore,
says :—" In a month the campaign of 1855 will be
at an end, and preparations are already making here
for the troops that are to winter in Constantinople.
A week since several officers of engineers arrived
from France to select ground fit for the encamp-
ment of infantry. They have not yet made their
choice. As for the cavalry, ten thousand sabres
strong, it will positively be installed in Maslak
camp and in that of Daoud Paella. The commis-
sariat is completing its final preparations for their
reception." This number of ten thousand sabres,
says the Constitutionnel, corresponds so exactly
with the ten thousand horses of the despatch that
we are disposed to think there must have been a
mistake in the matter, and that it is not intended
at this time of the year to send to the Crimea such
a large reinforcement of cavalry, the transport of
which, by the way, could not be improvised.
The Prince de Carini, minister plenipotentiary
of the Two Sicilies in London, who had come to
pass his leave of absence in the neighbourhood of
Paris, has just left to continue his journey towards
Naples.

The Jourdain left Marseilles on Monday for the
East, having on board General Mangin, 15 sisters
of charity, and 60 men of various regiments.
