" Our correspondence from Rome of the 4th (says
the Conftitutionnel), informs us that on the 2u the
distribution of the new eagles took place in S. Peter's-
square. About 6.000 men ennobled, includ-
ing artillery. G-eneral Ceinean, taicompanied by
Generals Levaillant end -Threlli and their staffs,
sembled. all the officers iu a circle round him% and
addressed them in a very wr.rai and energetic min/12T,
after which he read the formula of the oath, which
every officer took by bolding out his hand, rind re•
peating the words "Je le jure." Toil iropos-
posing csremony concluded with the ilistribu.•
Lion of thirty crosses, which the Pope had
placed at the disposal of the General to be di-
vided among the diffclent regiments. A great num-
ber of persons tss'einbled to wit;ness this impoiing•
ceremony. Among them were. the Russian and
Austrian Ambassadors, the majority of the members
of t' e corps diplomatique, and all the high aristocracy
now in Rome., In the evening, the members of the
mi;i ivy club invited the Pun:hicitl authorities nod a
number of the principal inhabitanrs, who had shown
attention to the French officers, to join them in
drinking punch. The Ministers of the Interior
and of War, Monseigneur Borromeo, the Chine- ,1
berlain of his Holiness, Monseigneur de tiegar,
the new auditor of the Rohl &0., were present
Oa the 3:1, General and Mlle.(; e,tr.:au gave a grand
ball, which was numerously attended; at the recep-
tion, which preceded the bell, Cardinal Antonelli, and
a great number of Roman prelates, were present.
The difficulties which stood in the way of raising re-
cruits abroad to form a solid nucleus for the Pontifical
army having been removed, that measure will now
be speedily carrl,ol into effect ; but before the Pon-
tifical Government launches out into too considerable
expense for this purpose, would it not be desirable
that Franco and Austria should come to an under-
standiug on the measures to be. taken to
withdraw their troops simultaneously from
the Roman territory, and on the period when it
could take place without danger ? It was
hoped at Rome that the Emperor of Austria would
on this subject follow the impulse of his heart in an-
sisting the Papal Government to that end in concert
with Francs. The person named Murray, who has
been so much talked of in the journals, and in the
English Parliament, and who had been condemned
to death after a trial which lasted three years, will
probably be executed with his accomplices. They all
formed a band like that of the famous Zambranchi at
Rome, killing without mercy those whom they called
suspected, chiefly priests or the moat respectable pro-
prietors of the country. 150 victims :are known to
have fallen between Ancona and Sinigaglia, and the
English Government bas in its bands ell the proofs of
the crimes committed." (?)

SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS.
CuI:G.P.TICLE —The settled aversion with which re-
cent eccurreaces in Frame have boon regarded by pub-
lic epinitte in this country, comtnunicetes a peculter cha-
racter to the interferences of the President'e Govern-
ment with the Englhh press, To be menaced by
by French police is to have a blue ribend thrust
forcibly into one's button-hole; and though exception
may fairly be taken to the worthiness of the deserts by
which, in particular cases, the honour has been won no
living man can gainsay the honorific nature of the deco-
ration. Under these circumstances, it is only natural
that those who hove missed the distinction shou'd be
eager to account fur an exemption which is prima facie
a little, or mere than a little,
suspicious. Much latitude
must be allowed to their explanations. We are boned
to those considerable forbearance in listening to the
voluble excuses of a jockey who has lest a race—more
especially in a case where, whatever may have been the
paces ref the home there has been no sparing of whip
and spur on the part of the rider. But we feel much
surprise,
and no small indignation, that the exculpa-
tions referred to have, in the case of one
journal, taken the form
of a half-expressed hint
that our good fortune in being threatened has arisen
from our having actually published the " misrepre-
sentationa"—the " false news"—which alone would
justify the official menace. Further, though neither
surprised nor indignant, we are considerably amused to
find the same contemporary extracting a tribute to his
own ireepartielity and accuracy out of what is, in fact,
a piece of eccentric clumsiness in his own domestic ar-
rangeesants. It is nth:ratted on all bands that it' would
be en act of gross injustice and violence to remove our correspondent from Franco, except from positive mis-
ittateesent or wilful distortion of facts. Even tho French
police will doubtless allow that the nefavonrabie tenor
of his reports would not in itself justify his expulsion,
unless those reports were untrue—though, of oteirse, the
staederd of truth received in M. de 2ertanpas' cffice.may
be expected to he peculier. If, then, he be menaced
with the penalty due only to falsehood, he has a right,
derived from the ' universal principles of justice," ' to
ho acqueieted with the bpccifiu instances of mis-
representation which are laid to his charge. That
right_ was at once asserted by our cornespenent;
and he was thereupon referred to a metaphor iu a
leading article. The metaphor, however, was one which
might be applied with equal propriety, and with as little
offensiveness, to Lord Derby and Protection; and the
article in which it occurred did not, as has been insinu•
ated, contain independent recitals of fact, but simply ex-
pressed our astonishment that, considering the antece-
dents of Louis Napoleon, he should think it worth while
to bind the members of the public service by an oath.
Now, is it credible that, if misstatements wero realty
imputable to our correspondent, the example cited would
have been such as this? Is it not clear that it was merely
M. Dumottlin's sense of logical propriety which dictated
the hint of " false news," and that he obeyed the real
instructions of the Minister when he refused to have
anything to do with the actual guilt or innocence of our
correspondent, and admitted that he would only be
punished as the 'representative" of the obnoxious jour-
nal?, The corpus delicti, when called for, was found

"lle :from The Morning Chronicle, in which corres-

publicity, every effort was used to hesociate t
with SUMO more palatable representation, It is

I only just t? add that this see-saw of good and evil
ireport, which we have been accustomed to ex-
plain with all the tenderness of construction which the
cuann3fxpraitaeirneeid,ty of journalism demands, is, by itself and
an especial beauty and felicity in the eyes
of our contemporary. With a very characteristic ap-
preciation of the value, uses, and nature of facts, he con-
gratulates himself on the neutral tenor of the informs-
!ion he receives, and exultingly tells us that it would be
Just as easy together from his columns the materials for
an unqualified eulogy on Louis Napoleon, as for the un-
mitigated censure which he happens to have accidentally
selected as his own mode of treatment. With all respect
for the authority from which this doctrine emanates, we
confess that it strikes us as decidedly eccentric, and
rather immoral. Meitre du blunt et die noir is, of coarse,
consistent with honesty; bat it implies hesitation, whilst
in the finished results of our contemporary there is no
trace of doubt as to the true character of Louis Napoleon's
policy. For our own part, if our pictures of the French
President are black, it is only because he, by his acts,
rubs little but black on our palette. Oar conclusions are
built on the facts which his conduct supplies to impartial
and independent observation. But the facts supplied to
our contemporary wear a sort of whitey-brown com-
plexion; and, unless he keeps a secret dab of paint in
his waistcoat pocket, we cannot for the life of us ima-
gine how his portrait turns out as black as the canvas of
Mr. Martin used to be, before that distinguished artist
imbibed his taste for ultramarine. If there were any
truth in the charge made against our correspondent,
Chet his reports on French affairs !are less relieved by
redeeming gleams of commendation than the amen= of
his colleagues, it would still be open to us to reply that
there is an antecedent probability of harmony between
the Orleans decree, or the slaughter on the Boulevards,
and the residue of their author's measures. But it is
wholly untrue that the gentleman in question has
omitted to report good as well as evil If ail least sem-
blance of greater hostility has attached to his letters than
to those or others, it is bscanse ho has divined from a
longer distance the landmarks of the dark and gloomy
rood upon which the French Government -is unhappily
journeying. To the scarcely uttered aspersions on his
fidelity, and to the complacent self-gratalations founded
upon them, we retort that there is no department of our
journal in which we are so utterly careless of rivalry as
that confided to his direction.
