EXTRAORDINARY TRIAL.

A trial is now going on before the Assize Court
of the department of the Somme which illustrates
in a striking manner the cruelty of the preventive
prison system in France. An unfortunate young
woman, named Rosalie Doise, a native of Belgium,
and speaking only Flemish, had been arrested
nearly two years ago on a charge of murdering her
father. .She was tried and convicted on her own
confession, and sentenced to hard labour for life.
She declared that she was guilty of the crime of
parricide, and on account of that. declaration the
jury saved her frcui the guillotine by appending to
their verdict the formuia, "extenuating circum
stances"—the only way left to a French jury of
recommending a criminal to mercy. Rosalie Doise

DENMARK AND GERMANE

The following is a translation of a despatch from
the Danish Minister of Foreign Affairs to the
Danish Envoy at London, in reply to Lord Rus-
sell's despatch, dated Copenhagen, October 15,
1862 :
" Sir,-1 owe to the interest which Lord RussfAl
has always displayed for Denmark to reply without
Idelay to the despatch of which you will find en-
closed icopy, which Mr. Paget communicated to
me y iterday, and which has caused us so much
the more surprise and regret, as Lord Russell has
hitherto expressed opinions very different from
those to which he seems at present to incline.
" The Minister begins his despatch by setting
aside the question of the position of Holstein in the
Monarchy as one that is no longer a subject of dis-
pute. To us, also, this question appears to be
solved, in so far as the definitive settlement only
depends on the regulation of some points as to the
necessity of which there can be no difference - of

More than a year afterwards a man named Van-
halwyn, also a Belgian, was tried before the Assize
Court of the department of the Nord for a murder
committed on a farmer named Verville, was con-
victed, and sentenced to death. In the course of
the trial Vanhaiwyn and an accomplice named
Verhomme, who, as well as Vanhalwyn, lived by
smuggling and robbery, confessed that they, and
they alone, were the murderers of the father of Ro-
salie Doise. . The case was referred to the Cour de
Cessation. The Cour de Cassation considered that
the conviction of these two men did not necessarily
imply the innocence of the woman who had made
the voluntarily avowal of parricide, particularly as
she had not appealed, but in compliance with the
order of the Minister of Justice it annulled the sen-
tence of the Court of the Somme as regarded the
woman, and that of the Court of the Nord as re-
garded the men. It directed that a new trial should
take place of the three, and it is this trial which is
now going on.

opinion.
" Our position in regard to the demand made by
the Germanic Diet is clear and simple. We have
shown that the authority claimed by the Diet for
the Holstein Estates to vote the common budget
and common laws, in so far as these concern the
,PikehT,.is as contrary to public law as it is indefen-
}n respect to the competently of the Diet. We
have nevertheless declared our readiness to agree
to it, whatever danger for the integrity of the
Monarchy it might occasion, provided this eventual
position for Holstein were so defined that the rest
of the Monarchy was not placed thereby in a con-
tinual state of dependency on Germany; and if by
this sacrifice our relations with the Germanic Con-
federation could be re-established on a durable
basis.

It will naturally be asked what motive could have
impelled Rosalie Doise to avow herself guilty of a
crime of which these two men, one of whom was
already sentenced to death for a previous murder,
and the other to hard labour for life, acknowledged
themselves the sole perpetrators. The explanation
she has just given to the presiding judge during her
examination in open court throws some light upon it.
"Why," said the judge, "did you admit in the pre-
liminary examination (by the Juge d'lnstruction)
that you murdered your father ?" Her answer,
which was given through a sworn interpreter—for
she does not speak French—was, that the inter-
preter had threatened her with secret confinement—
with confinement in a dismal hole ; and that as she
was pregnant (she was a married woman), and
wanted to save the life of her child, she resolved to
declare herself guilty. The interpreter himself
being asked by the Procureur-General if he had
held out such a threat to the woman, he admitted
he had; but, in doing so, he said he did no more
than interpret literally the words of the Juge
d'lnstruction. The prisoner was asked if she had
been subjected to personal constraint during her
detention P She said that she had been thrown into
a black hole, where there was not a breath of air ;
that when taken out of it to be examined, she was
in such terror at the thought of being again lodged
in the same hole that she admitted everything they
accused her,of. She was asked by the judge if she
was not allowed daily exercise in the open air. She
said she was not; and that during six months she
was only out twice. To the question as to whether
she asked to be allowed exercise she replied that
she did, but that the clerk (gre ffier) invariably re-
plied, " Confess that you are guilty, and say that
you have concealed the watch (her father's watch,
which had been taken off by the murderers) and
you shall be allowed to go out." The judge ob-
served that there was a physician, whose duty it
was to visit the prisoners daily, and asked her
if he had done so ? She said she had seen the
doctor only twice ; and the last time was when
he bled her. She also,. said that she was deli-
vered in her prison, and that her infant lived
only a month.
The judge inquired if it was by reason of her
avowal of her father's murder that the former
Court sentenced her to hard labour for life. She
said,—" Yes; but I always hoped that it would be
some time found that I was not the guilty person.
After my sentence was passed I asked every even-
ing of the prison officials whether anything had
been discovered." She was asked if she knew
Vanhalwyn and Verhomme, who confessed they
were the murderers of her father ; she declared that
she did not; and on being further asked whether
she had taken any part in the crime of which they
stood accused, she solemnly protested her inno-
cence ; and, what is still more, both the murderers
declared they had no knowledge of Rosalie Doise.
• The gaoler of the cell in which this unhappy
creature was so long kept shut up was then ex-
mined :

"It is in order to fix these points that we entered
into the present negotiations with Prussia and
Austria; and the opinion expressed by Lord Rus-
sell on the necessity of the said concession on our
part is, no doubt, accompanied with an entire ap-
probation of the two conditions above indicated.
"In respect to the internal affairs of Schleswig
we might have hoped that the line of conduct we
have followed would also have secured us the
sympathy of the English Government. The inten-
tions which the King on a former occasion had spon-
taneous;/pressed with regard to that Duchy, the
engag bf honour—to use the words of Lord
Russell—dhich the King had contracted, have been
immediately and conscientiously fulfilled by him
Even in respect to the regulation for the use of the
two languages—a matter which, I repeat it, never
Was,mentioned in the correspondence of 1851—the
Government hag scrupulously maintained the same
measure, for the rules now in force are the same
which in 1857 did not provoke the slightest objet-.
tion. When Lord Russell recommends an extension
of the liberties accorded to the Provincial Diet of
Schleswig, the King has already in the speezh from
the throne this year proclaimed that very intention:
Such a grant cannot, however, be made except with
the free will of the King, and his Majesty is thebest
judge of the proper moment for carrying out such a
measure. The Government will act in this matter
as soon as the state of the Holstein question permits
it, and will follow in the new organisation it pro-
poses to give to the Provincial Estates of Schleswig
the same:liberal principles which it pursues in the
whole of its administration, and will especially do so
in regard to the framing of a new electoral law,
which all are agreed is that which most requires to
be p3formed in the Duchy.
" Lord Russell
l_ enters, finally, on the question of
the common Constitution in so far as it concerns the
Kingdom and Schleswig. I have nothing in this
respect to add to what you have already said to the
Minister, and you will please beg his lordship to
regard the explanations offered by you as the de-
finitive opinion of the King's Government.
"I will not enter into any particulars in order to
prove how little founded is the objection that the
Constitution ought to have been submitted to the
vote of the different special representations of the
monarchy. I have already sufficiently demonstrated
it ; but whatever be the opinion of the Diet at Frank-
fort in respect to the rights of the Holstein Estates,
I trust that Lord Russell, when expressing an
opinion, does not mean to deny the imperious
duty which prohibits the King from submitting
to the decrees of Germany what he believes to be
due to thtte of his States that do not belong to the
Confederation. The common Constitution is not

Mtthoensap.arrccihhnyacsiaptnahldatgravely compromising that integrity
which it was the object of the Treaty of London to
secure. Lord Russell himself has, with great jus-
tice, pointed out in his despatch what dangers such
a system would entail on greater and more power-
ful Monarchies. With so much more reason must
he admit that for a State like Denmark such a sys-
tem would lead to anarchy, and be followed by the
complete dismemberment of the Monarchy. The
maintenance of the common Constitution for the
kingdom and Schleswig is, therefore, a vital ques-
tion for Denmark, and, being convinced of this, the
Government is resolved not to abandon that line of
conduct prescribed to it by such a conviction.

The Procureur-General—How was the woman Gardin
(the married name of Rosalie Doise), treated in your
prison ?
The Gaoler—Well, like all the other female prisoners.

It is not true, then, that she was put into a dungeon ?
Dungeon? why no—it is not exactly what we call a dun-
geon.
The President—lt was a room close to the common
room?—Yes, it was a little place.
The Procureur—Closed by one door only, and from
which could be heard the voices of those shut up in it?

This questions of the official prosecutor were replied
to by the gaoler thus :
No, nothing could be heard, for there were two thick
doors.

What were the dimensions of this cell ?--Why, 2 metres
50 centimetres long, 2 metres 40 centimetres wide, and 2
metres 50 centimetres high. The Prefect, however, has just
got the cell enlarged.
It was lighted and aired ?—Air and light were admitted
through an opening the size of a brick.
Could the prisoner stir out?—O, yes, twice a day.

and to give him a copy of it.

'll am fully convinced that even in addressing to
us advice such as that we have just received, Lord
Russell has not meant to renounce that sympathy
which he has always displayed for Denmark. That
sincere interest and the recollection of the political
career of his lordship give me the hope that he will
find in oar frank explanations sufficient reasons for
not 41*--ring to propositions which lam certain he
could' not have offered, if it were as clear to him as
it is to us that their adoption would be the prelude
of the extinction of constitutional life in Denmark,
and compromise the very existence of the Monarchy.

The streets of Toulon and the railway terminus
have been crowded for some days past with seamen who
have taken advantage of the decree of the Minister of
Marine, permitting those who have served a certain num-
ber of months to demand their discharge. This measure
has considerably reduced the crews of the Toulon fleet, and
it has been found necessary to supply the vacancies by
draughts from other seaports. A detachment of 600 sea-
men arrived at Toulon by railway on Wednesday last from
Chlrbourg.
