" ORDER OP THE DAY.

" Nov. 4.

" Recalled to France by the Emperor's orders, I do
not wish to leave these waters, where together we have
undergone so many laborious trials, without thanking
you for having seconded me so well. The glorious suc-
cesses which opened and crowned this campaign, the ser-
vices which you have rendered since the day our flag
first fluttered in the Black Sea, will be an eternal honour
to our navy, a legitimate subject of pride for France, the
most precious of souvenirs for the admirals who have had
the honour to command you.
" I surrender with full confidence into the hands of
Admiral Pellion the deposit of the traditions bequeathed
to me by Admiral Hamelin ; the Black Sea Squadron
will remain true to its past ; it will not forget that it
enjoys the high honour of sharing with our valiant troops
the ardent sympathies of France and the confidence of
the Emperor ; with our brave allies, the admiration of
Europe.

" BRUAT,
" Admiral, Commander-in-Chief of the
Mediterranean Squadron.'

THE KING OF SARDINIA.

We have authority for stating that a telegraphic
despatch was received on Saturday at the Sar-
dinian Embassy, from Paris, intimating that the
King of Sardinia would leave that city on Thursday
next, the 29th inst., and arrive at Dover on
Friday morning. A special train will be in readi-
ness to convey his Majesty and suite to London.
On arriving at the Bricklayers' Arms station the
Royal party will proceed along the same line of
route to Windsor as was taken by their Imperial
Majesties the Emperor and Empress of the French,
on the occasion of their recent visit to this country.

M. ALEXANDRE DUMAS AND TILE

GUERNSEY EXILES.

It may not be generally known that the celebrated
Alexandre Dumas has been prosecuted before the judi-
cial tribunals of Paris for having, in an article in Le
Mousquitaire, addressed to M. Pascal Duprat, formerly
a representative of the people, but now an exile, hi
Brussels, made use of language which was offensive to
the powers that be in France, viz., "My body is at
Paris, but my heart is at Brussels and at Jersey."
It is really almost incredible that for such a sentence
any man should be troubled with legal proceedings ;
nevertheless, it is a fact, and occurred only so recently
as the 19th inst., before the Procureur Imperial.
M. Dumas, writing the same day to a friend at Brus-
sels, said :

" Do you understand, my dear friend, a legal process
for a word of sympathy with the proscrits ?
" I cannot refrain from repeating to you what the
phrase incriminated was. It was this, My body is at
Paris, but my heart is at Brussels and at Jersey.'
"Now there must be a variation of this. For
Jersey' read Guernsey.'—A Vow,

" ALiKANDRE DUMAS.

" Paris, 19th Nov."
Such is the condition to which the Press in France has
been reduced.

THE NEW CHANCELLOR OF THE DUCHY
OF LANCASTER AND HIS CONSTI-
TI-TENTS.

Mr. Baines has requested us to publish the fol-
lowing address to the electors of Leeds :---
"To THE ELECTORS OP THE BOROUGH OF LEEDS.
" Gentlemen,—Having accepted the office of Chan-
cellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, the seat which by
your favour I have held as member for Leeds becomes
vacant, and a new election must take place on the meet-
ing of Parliament. I trust that you will then permit
me again to offer myself as a candidate for the higk
honour of representing you in the House of Commons.
"Upon all the leading questions of domestic policy I
believe my sentiments are fully known to you; they are
the same which I stated when you first elected me, and
to which I have always endeavoured to give effect by my
votes. With regard to that great question which at pre-
sent occupies the public mind, I think it my duty to
say that, while I lament as much as any man the neces-
sity for war, I am convineed that the war in which we
are now engaged was absolutely forced upon us by the
unprincipled and aggressive policy of Russia. lam also
convinced that, situated as we are, it must be prosecuted
with decision and energy until we can obtain—and for
the purpose of obtaining--that honourable and secure
peace which the country is on every account entitled to
expect.
" I have the honour to be, Gentlemen,
"Your very faithful and grateful servant,
"M. T. BAINES.
gi 13, Queen-square, Westminster, Nov. 24."
