LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, JANUARY 27, 1849

the Gazette des Tribunaux) to commence before
the High Court of Justice at Bourges on Monday,
sth March.

A letter from M. THORE announces that a protest
against sending the pers ma accused of being con-
cerned in the affair of May ii, before the National
High Court of Justice, is being signed in the Fau-
bourgs, and at the offices of the various democratic
journals.
13Aams has addressed the following letter to seve-
ral of the ultra-republican journals :
" Donjon de Vicennes, 23d Jan.
" Citizen Editor,—As it is a common-place truth
that in politics one is always tried by one's enemies, I
had intended since my arrest to defend myself infinitely
little, before whatever tribunal I might be sent. The
decree for employing the arm of the High Court of
Bourges against the accused of May does not change
much my determination. There, as elsewhere, I shall
protest against the verdict of vengeance of a party, ap-
pealing from the sentence of proscription which awaits
me to the justice of the people, who have annulled many
other sentences, and who will always proclaim--my af-
fection for them makes me sure of it—that I am a good
citizen. It is not then precisely for my own sake that I
now raise my voice against the decision of the Assem-
bly—it is on account of the wrong which it does to those
of my co-accused who hal every certainty of being ac-
quitted by a jury. With that exception—ma foi! so
much the better ! When to many other brave citizens
pass before courts-nrirt.l, it would have been repug-
nant to me not also to enjoy the advantage of some ex
ceptional jurisdiction; and since it is not known how to
gire us any other equality than that of condemnations by
commissions, it is at least something we are gratified
with that—with I suppose the hulks at the end for the
representatives of the people as for the poor represented,
whom the gentlemen of the monarchiical castes call, IS hen
the canaille !"

which holds its sittings
in the Rue Martel, Faubourg Poisonniere, under the
presidentship of M. BoisNARD, and which was noted
for the ultra opinions professed in it, was closed on
Wednesday night, by order of the Minister of the
Interior. It had been announced that several mem-
bers of the Mountain were to be present at the sit-
ting, and, as the necessary legal forms had not been
fulfilled, orders were given to prevent the meeting.
At seven o'clock a commissary of police, acconf-
panied by several guardians of Paris, entered and
summoned the president to terminate the sitting.
After a protest against such conduct, the president
and bureau withdrew, as did about 500 persons who
were present. . _

The Commission appointed to examine the question
of the completion of the Louvre, composed of MM.
HAVIN, E. 13Avoux, JOBEZ, BOULATIGNIER, and BUF-
FET, now Minister of Commerce, has terminated its
labours. It has come to the following resolutions,
which it has submitted to the Minister of Public
Works :-1. Utility and propriety in the completion
of a monument, which will honour France and the
new Government.-2. Advantages of the removal of
the National Library, now threatening ruin, si the
new galleries of the Louvre ; a rem..wal, which will
allow the buildings where the library is at present
placed to he sold, thereby saving seven millions, their
estimated value, out of the thirty millions which the
new works at the Louvre will cost. —3. Political
opportuneness of these great wolki at the present
moment for the working classes.-4. Necessity in the
present state of the finances to listen to '.he proposi-
tions of certain companies, v. ha offer to advance these
thirty millions, on condition of having certain State
property made over to them.
M. WeLawsat is appointed Minister to Florence.
He replaces M. BENOLT CUAaIPT, who, after having
refused the Office of Advocate-general at the Court
of Cassation, was sent to Florence. Madame WA-
LEWSKI is a member of one of the first families of
Florence.
We read in the Corsaire :—" The ex- King Louis
PFIILIPPE has just written to M. LOUIS BUONAPARTE
and to M. 0. BARROT. In his letter he protests
that his intentions are pure, and that he has no
desire to engage in politics, in case he should be
permitted to return to France. All my desire,'
he says, would be to live en bon bourgeois.'
He does not ask as his residence for the chateau
of Neuilly, which is too near Paris, but for
the chateau of RANDAN, in Auvergne. In returning
to France, his sons and himself would take an oath
to abandon all pretensions to the throne. Neither
the PRESIDENT of the Republic nor the President of
the Council has paid any attention to this strange
letter."

The Corsaire says:—"M. GUIZOT has sent word
to one of his intimate friends that he should not get
ready to return to Paris until after the anniversary
of Feb. 24. The intention of the ex-Minister is to
come forward as candidate at the , approaching
election."

M. ADOLPHE BARROT, the brother of the President
of the Council, is appointed Minister of the Republic
at the Court of the Brazils. He was formerly French
Consul at Alexandria.

The Constitutionnel says, in reference to the anec-
dote related by the National about M. TUIERS and
M. Consix, that it is entirely false.
M. E. ARAQO has arrived in Paris from Berlin.
He took his seat in the National Assembly yesterday.
An agent from the Sardinian Government has
arrived in Paris, for the purpose of endeavouring t o
procure from the French Government a promise of
assistasuuv usulust Austria, or failing in that, of pro-
curing the services of a French General to command
the Sardinian army. The French Government has
refused to give any pledge on the subject ; and
Marshal BUGEAUD and General OUDINOT have each
refused the command of the Sardinian army; General
MAGNAN has, however, accepted the offer of the
Sardinian agent, and he has obtained permission from
his own Government to take service under CHARLES
ALBERT.

The PRESIDENT of the Republic dined on Tuesday
with the Minister for Foreign Affairs, and attended
the reception of M. LEON FAUCHER on Thursday.
M. Timm; had been invited to both, but attended
neither, in consequence of a difference which has
arisen between himself and the PRESIDENT of the
Republic. It appears that on Tuesday morning M.
TIMERS had an interview with the PRESIDENT, in the
course of which Prince Louis NAPOLEON, after com-
plaining of the equivocal position taken up by M.
THIERS, with respect to the present Government, al-
luding to the rumours abroad that his object in all he
was doing was to bring back the Count DE PARIS
and the regency, insisted that he should either
frankly take office, or abstain from all interference
with the Government. M. TRIERS declined to take
office, and they parted rather abruptly.
We are not surprised to hear that the PRESIDENT
has called upon Tunas
to declare himself openly,
and we trust M. Louis NAPOLEON BONAPARTE will
no be misled by traitors,
l him, but that he will at
thoi mself
betray t

to consolidate the Republic.

The Journal de Toulouse announces that, on the
18th instant, a column of the Queen of SPAIN'S
troops having encountered near Labajol a Republican
band of 250 men, commanded by VICTORIANO
AMETLER, forced them, after a warm engagement, to
on the French territory.

and there the combat recommenced, notwithstanding
the interference of the mayor and a detachment of
25 French soldiers. Several Republicans were
killed or wounded at the gate of the municipality of
Las Illas, and 18 were captured,namely—Victoriano
Ametler, Coll Jose, Gonzales Don Juan, and Perez,
commanders; two captains, two soldiers, and 10
refugees.
Letters from Toulon, of the 26th, state that the
preparations for the expedition to Civita Vecchia have
been stopped, and the expedition itself abandoned, as
France and Austria had determined to permit Spain
to undertake alone the restoration of the Pore.

AUSTRIA.

Advices frr4n Vienna, of the 21st, state that the
waters of the Danube continue to rise, and that three
flags, the s;gnal of imminent danger, have been
hoisted on the ramparts. The Leopoldstadt suburb
is completely under water. Prince WINDISCHGRATZ
was expected to arrive at Vienna on the 21st, en
route for Olhnutz. It was rumoured in Vienna that
a treasonable correspondence between Count Louis
BATTIIYANI, the Hungarian ex-Premier, and CHARLES
ALBERT had been discovered, and that the former
had in consequence been condemned to be shot.

KOSSUTH I; still at Debreczin, and from the quan-
tity of snow that has fallen the Austrian army cannot
advance against him, The peasants are flocking to
his standard, and swearing on the regalia of Hun-
gary to defend their country to the last. The road;
which lead to this city are the worst in the country,
and the Austrian army, should it attempt to advance,
would be destroyed by guerillas.
A letter from Prague of the 18th says :—" All the
Court party is assembling here, and the town has be•
come a second Innspruck. The Archduchess SOPHIA
has arrived, the Archduke Louis is shortly ex-
pected; and it is said that Prince METTERNICH will
come to his estates in Bohemia in spring, by which
time it is hoped all AustriA will be tranquil."
KALISCH, CRITZNER, FRANK. and ENGUENDER,
democratic leaders, who had to fly from Vienna, have
received orders to leave Leipie, where they had
sought refuge.
The Government of Cracow has suppressed all the
journals except the Gazette, with regard to which
the following decree hr:s been issued :—" The editor
shall communicate to head-quarters every simple
article six hours before it is printed, and every article
containing arguments or rell,ctions 48 hours before
it is printed. Printers shall not print anything
without permission from head-quarters, and all
booksellers are forbidden to sell books or engravings
without authorisation."

been sent from Milan to Brescia, under a strong
military escort. According to the above paper, RA-
DETZELY s forces are at this moment much inferior to
those of Piedmont; he is in great want of money,
notwithstanding his exactions, so that he has been
obliged to impose a new tax of eight millions of
francs, which makes the total amount paid by Lom-
bardy since August, 58 millions,
In the•sitting of the 16th of the Tuscan Chamber
of Deputies, the deficit for 1849 was stated by the
Minister of Finance to be twelve millions and a half
of lire (about eleven millions of francs).
