umphed over nationalities, and led, through an
appalling series of massacres, conflagrations, and
bombardments, to another saturnalia of Absolutism.
We may feel confidence that, the day of
retribution will not, after all, be so very long
delayed, that the vengeance which is aggregating
to itself every moment additional force is destined to
be awful from its unexampled magnitude, and that
when next Democracy shall rise to emancipate the
nations from their thraldom, the voice even of a
LAMARTINE will be incapable of quelling the fury of
the popular wrath, the hand even of a KObSETII w ill
be unable to interpose between the multitude and
their revenge. Yet, satisfied as we may be that such
is ultimately inevitable, we are equally well satisfied
that in the interval between these days and the final
days of retribution, the people of England will be true
to their glorious recollections, by extending the hand
of sympathy, of fellowship, and of hospitality to op-
pressed misfortune and exiled patriotism.

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

We have received the Paris papers of yesterday.
The VICE-PRESIDENT of the Republic, accompanied
by the Ministers of Commerce, Marine, and Public
Works, and by the members of the Chamber of
Commerce of Rouen, embarked on board a steamer at
Rouen on Sunday, and proceeded to Quillehceuf and
Candebec for the purpose of inspecting the works at
present in progress for improving the navigation of
the Seine. There was a grand fete given on the deck
of the steamer during the course of the voyage, and
several toasts were drunk and speeches made. The
Ministerial party was received throughout the trip
with enthusiastic shouts of " Vive I la Republique."
The Corsaire says :—" It is stated that one of
the first propositions which will be brought before
the consideration of the Assembly on its meeting
will be the law which permits the salary of the
representatives to be seized by their creditors. It
appears that the number of claims of that kind
lodged at the Questure amounts to IGO, and that
several of the representatives concerned are in real
distress."
A letter from Rome, of the 14th, published by one
of the Paris journals, giVes some interesting details
relative to the military state of the French army. It

1' Dr. Alquie, seconded by the zeal of the medical
staff and the energetics co-operation of the French
authorities, is actively engaged in organizing sanitary
arrargements at Rome. His persevering 't fforts have
been already attended with a good result. For the last
week the health- of our troops has sensibly improved;
it however remains ins state to awaken the liveliest
solicitude of the authorities at Rome and of the Govern-
ment in France. 'There are at this time 3,000 of the
expeditionary army on the sick list ; about 2,000 have
been received into the hospitals, and the others, whose
complaints are less serious, are attended in their quar-
ters. The great majority are attacked with simple
fever, but there are some cases of fever of a more serious
kind,, aad also some of dysentery. No case of cholera
has appeared among them, nor have there as yet been
cases either at Rome or in the Roman states. This fact
will suffice to show the inutility of quarantine regula-
tions against this scourge. The cholera is raging in
Lombardy, which is protected by a barrier of quaran-
tines, and has not appeared at Rome, where nothing of
the kind exists. The mortality is by no means in pro-
portion to the number of sick, and with the great
majority of cases there is no reason to apprehend a fatal
termination. A good diet in many cases is found suffi-
cient to effect a cure. Unfortunately, our soldiers are
placed under unfavourable circumstances, some of which
date back to the period of the siege, and others which
still exist. One causo of the sickness is what could
not be prevented. It is known that the climate
of Rome, which is very unhealthy during the great
heats of July and August, becomes more healthy after
the abundant rains which generally fall in the beginning
of September. It has been remarked that the aria
cattiva, which is said produces fever, is felt more parti-
cularly on the elevated localities in the neighbourhood.
Thus, what is for other places a means of salubrity is to
Rome quite the reverse. Tho heat this year continues
unabated in intensity; not a drop of rain has yet fallen
to cool the air. Our brave soldiers now pay the penalty
of the heroic fatigues which were imposed on them
during the siege. Had that commenced in the beginning
of May more than one cause of the sickness which has
attacked our soldiers would have _ been avoided.
It, however, began in June, which is the most unhealthy
period of the year. Our soldiers, bivouacking in the
fields, turniflg up the ground heated by the sun, haras-
sed in mind end body, ever excited by the most noble
as well as by the most violent passions, have been placed
under the most disadvantageous circumstances. As
usual, the malady appeared at the period of prostration
which follows the considerable exertion of physical
activity and moral force." _ _ _

M. MANUEL DE SARRATEA, Minister Plenipoten-

Limoges on the 21st. His health had been for some
time delicate, and he was returning from the Pyrenees,
when he was obliged to stop from weakness at Limoges.
