- - - -
FALMOUTH, Nov. 1-7.—The Express packet, Len-
tenant Lory, arrived with the Brazil mails last night,
after a passage of thirty-seven days, having left Rio
de Janeiro the 10th of October. She brings on
freight about 20,000/., a considerable part of which
is on account of the St. John del Rey Mining Cum-
pany, and also a remittance in gold for the agents of
the Brazilian Government in London. Passenger,
Dr. Williams. Exchange firm, at 261-d. Left at
Rio de Janeiro her Majesty's ships Southampton,
Rear-Admiral Reynolds; Constance, 50 guns, which
was to sail for England two days after the packet,
with a large freight of specie from the Pacific ;
Hydra, and Kestrel. The French packet Maria,
from llavre to Rio de Janeiro, and the Scotch brig
Amelia Gordon, were lost near Cape St. Thomas,
about the sth of October. On the 9th of November,
in lat. 40 N., long. 31 90, passed a ship steering east,
under llamburgh colours, and showed a white flag
with 108 on it.

THE PENINSULAR MAILS.
SOUTHAMPTON, Nov. 17.—The Peninsular and
Oriental Company's steam-ship Pacha, Captain
Weeks, with the usual Peninsular mails, a full general
cargo, and 20 passengers, left this day. The royal
mail steam-ship Severn, Captain Vincent, with the
West India mails, by an order from Government, did
not leave until Sunday morning. She took out nearly
100 passengers, a full cargo, and specie to the amount
0f.11,1091. The Peninsular Company's steam-ship
Hindostan, Captain Lewis, will leave on the 25th
instant for the East Indies. The Indus, belonging to
the same company, will leave on the 20th fur Con-
stantinople.
SUNDAY, Nov. 18.—The United States mail-
steamer Ilermann, Captain G. Crabtree, arrived here
this morning from Bremen, en route to New York.
The Hermann left Bremen haven on Thursday, at
noon, but in the night experienced a tremendous gale
lin the North Sea,..cturing_which she was obliged to
heave to till the weather moderated. She has there-
fore reached Southampton one day after her appointed
time, the fir.t instance of irregularity in the present
year on the part of the American steamers, which
have in 1849 hitherto been exceedingly punctual
in their times of arrival and departure. The
Hermann has about thirty passengers from Bremen
to New York, amongst whom are some Hun-
garian celebrities. One of them is Ladislas
Ujhazy, ex-Civil Governor of the fortress of Comorn,
who proceeds to the United States, intending to form
a Hungarian colony. He has letters of introduction
to General Taylor, President of the Republic ; to the
Iloraplr. Bancroft, and other men of distinction in
America. He is accompanied by his two sons and
two daughters, and by several Hungarian officers,
who appeared on the deck of the Herrmann dressed
in the picturesque military costume of Hungary.
Ladislas Ujhazy is an aged and venerable-looking
man,with a flowing grey beard and moustachios, and
wearing a singular semi-Oriental dress. Another
extraordinary Hungarian on board this steamer is
Mademoiselle Apolonia Jagella, who bore the rank of
lieutenant in a regiment of cavalry during the Ilun-
garian war, and
.was subsequently adjutant of the
army in the fortress of Comorn during the time that
city held out against the Austrians. Mademoiselle
Jagella is represented to have been present in several
engagements during the Hungarian insurrection, and
to have fought with much gallantry. She proved
herself a great adept in street fighting, and boasts of
having slain a fair number of Austrian soldiers. In
appearance Mademoiselle Jagella is far from
repulsive, her features bearing a pleasant but de-
termined expression. It may be satisfactory
for the reader to know that this lady is new
under engagement to be married to a young Hun-
garian officer immediately on arrival at New York
and it is of course probable that in the peaceful and
.
active scenes of domestic life the backwoods of
America her belligerent propensities will never again
be put in requisition, unless an attack from Indians
should occasionally happen to vary the monotony of
her future career, in which case no doubt Made-
moiselle Jagella will, in defence of her home and
family, manage to give a good account of the in-
truders. The present party of Hungarian exiles
will be followed to New York by a much greater
number, now waiting at Hainburgh to take passage
I,n a packet ship. The Hermann will leave on
ruesday, the 20, with an exceedingly large freight of
German and French merchandise,, the steamers
Atalanta, Lady de Sauniarez, and South. Wes ern,
specially chartered, having arrived fromHavre filled
with cargo for trans-shipment to this steamer. The
United States frigate St. Lawrence, 50, Captain
Hiram Paulding, arrived at Cowes on Friday, from
the Baltic, where she has been cruising durim g the
summer for the protection of American interests.
The St. Lawrence took in a few supplies at Cowes,
and sailed yesterday for Lisbon, where she will refit
previous to departing either to join the American
squadron of observation in the Mediterranean, or to
I the Pacific station.

GALWAY, Nov. 15.--The Charlutfe, from St. John's,
which went on :hone on Mutton Island on the 4Lh
was assisted off last night, hogged, with rudder, keel,
and forefoot and bottom damaetd.
There is nothing so exhilarating to the human
mind, and there is nothing so bracing and useful to
the human faculties, as progress.—Llizacook's Journal.

FRANCE.
The Commission on the law of transportation met
on Thursday. The law was generally approved of in
principle, but there was considerable difference of opi-
nion as to the details. Some of the members desired
that the law should apply to persons convicted' anterior
to its presentation, and many expressed a desire that
some particular spot should be named to be colonized
exclusively by political convicts. It appears not im-
probable that the project of transportation to the
island of Mayotte will be given up. Admiral Dupetit
Thouars described the climate of Mayotte as being
deadly to European constitutions, whilst that of
the Marquesas on the contrary was healthy.
The voyage to the Marquesas could be performed
in four months, whilst that to Mayotte would occupy
three and a half , therefore there could be no objec-
tion to the Marquesas on account of the greater ex-
pense
of the navigation.
The Committee charged with the examination of
the proposition of MM. Ney de la Moskowa, Fla-
vigny, Bar, and Bevoux for an annual credit of
52,000 f. for expenses of lodging the Vice-President
of the Republic, has adopted the principle of the
proposition, but considers 20,000 f. a year sufficient.
`We have already mentioned the departure of the
condemned prisoners of Versailles for Doullens. They
were conveyed from Versailles to the station of the
Northern Railway, where they arrived at eleven at
night, under an escort of dragoons. The only feeling
exhibited by the persons who witnessed their removal
appeared to be that of curiosity. The prisoners were
in good spirits, and, before they entered the cellular
vans at Versailles, sang in chorus several patriotic
songs. Huber, who was condemned by the High
Court of Justice for the affair of May, and Lieutenant
Kleber, who was condemned by the Council of War,
were sent off by the same train.
The Moniteur contains the following :—" When
the President of the Republic came into power he
found in the prisons or on board the hulks 3,114
individuals detained or transported in consequence
of the events of June, 1848. Out of this number
2,597 have been restored to liberty, viz. :—From
the month of January, 1849, to the month of Oc-
tober following, he successively ordered the re-
lease of 1,256 prisoners. Before the measure of
clemency which he has just adopted, there still
remained, either at Cherbourg or at Belle-Isle,
1,858 prisoners. Amongst them 505 had before
been in the hands of justice, and were not included in
that measure ; 12 have died. There are, therefore,
517 to be deducted from the previous number. It is,
therefore, 1,341 individuals whom the President of the
Republic has just restored to liberty. This number,
added to that of 1,256 previously released, makes a
total number of 2,597 pardoned by the President of
the Republic since his accession to power."
The condemned prisoners of Versailles have
addressed the following letter to their counsel, dated
from the prison of Versailles, 14th inst.:—
" Citizens,—ln noticing, in conformity with our una-
nimous decision, the events of June 13, under the three-
fold right—insurrection, resistance, and protest—you
acted according to the true principles, the traditioas,
and the situation of all the accused. That firm and re-
publican attitude in which you persisted, in spite of the
menaces of the Court, could alone impart a mutual re-
sponsibility at the same time that it left to each the full
liberty of his conscience. The words pro-
nounced by the President of the High Court, words
which we were compelled to listen to without remark,
since we were condemned to the most absolute silence,
make it a duty on us to give to your acts the fullest
and most explicit approbation. No, citizens, it is not
true that you have incurred any responsibility whatever
towards your order, for yott have defended its dignity.
There is no such thing as desertion on the part of
counsel when the defence is not free. It is not true
that you have incurred a responsibility towards your
clients, who might one day call you to account for such
an abandonment, for our friend Michel eloquently ex-
pressed our ideas and our feelings when he exclaimed
' I will not abandon an inch of the ground on which I
have placed myself; I am there, and there I will re-
main, and my friends wish that I should do so, for
they like better to save the rights of the people
than to save themselves, they who are the de-
fenders of the people.' It is not true that you have in-
curred any responsibility whatever towards society; for
the safety of society lies in protestation, resistance, and
insurrection against perjured and oppressive govern-
ments. You, therefore, accomplished a great act by
retiring, and good citizens will not forget it. As to us,
our gratitude is secured to you, here, everywhere, and
for ever. Health and fraternity.
" Signed by all the condemned prisoners."
The following letter has been addressed to the
Artillerymen of the ex-Legion of Artillery of the
Seine :

"Prison of Versailles, Nov. 14.

" Dear Comrades,—ln 1830 as in 1848, the legion of
Artillery has never failed in the defence of the immortal
principles of our great revolution. Four of your comrades
have just fallen in this sacred struggle, struck by the hand
of our old enemies. They restore to you intact andunsullied
the standard which you confided to them. May it serve as a
rallying point for you all, artillerymen whose hands we
have fraternally shaken, and for those who, like you, are
ready to die to save the Republic and procure the
triumph of the great principles of fraternity, the only
safety for our society which is so deeply disturbed.
Comrades, we have accomplished to the eud all our
duties as citizens. In the days of power we protected
our fallen enemies ; and on the 13th of June
last, when their sanguinary and guilty fury blindly
impelled them to civil war, we understood their sinister
projects and saved Paris from another dreadful day.
Artillerymen of 1830, you were the first to proclaim
the Republic; artillerymen of 1848, you contributed
to found it, and wished it to cover with her generous
hand all its children of the country. You demanded
peace for all; your efforts have been vain before the
sullied remnants of our bad regimes, who only wish
for war. Let the consciences of the public be our
judge. Adieu, dear comrades; from the dungeons into
which we are to be thrown we will follow and bless all
your efforts. Religiously respest the traditions of our
dear legion, and never forget that its motto is Tout
pour is bien de la pairia Cordial and fraternal salutation.
(Signed)
