is the new phase at which we enter. What is this
policy to be? The Message describsa it expressly. This
programme is altogether in the name of Napoleon. Every-
body knows what this name signifies for the democracy.
All that is added is but the ordinary common-place,
which all powers employ alike. And what is to be the
condition of the realization of the programme? The
manifesto tells that, too: it is the durability of power
which contributes powerfully to the general stability. Is
this condition referable to the imperfections of the consti-
tution alluded to in the Message?"
The Siecle, which is generally considered as the
organ of M. DUFAURE and the tiers parti, supports
the PRESIDENT. It says—
" We received the Message of the President of the
Republic as we have received the letter of the 18th
August with sympathy, with reserve, with the ardent
desire to see the acts of power become conformable
with its words. Truly, if we had not been in the habit
of looking to statesmen rather than to form, to action
more than to principle, we might congratulate ourselves
for the political line so closely traced out by the Presi-
dent of the Republic, as very nearly that which we our-
selves so perseveringly advocated. It is wise to wait ;
to• day as on the 18:h August, the President of the Re-
public appears to seiz s with a true instinct the real
necessities of our time—he appears to have broken, in
fine with those old parties so full of selfishness, and so
little animated with the spirit of our new institutions.
sees that he has been used as a tool and an instrnment,
and instead of being able to accomplish, as he desired, a
fusion of interests, he has only arrived at a neutralism
of forces."

A supplement to the Moniteur was published yes-
terday officially declaring the dismissal of the
ODILLON BARNOT Cabinet., and the appointment of
their successors. Paris was in a state of great ex-
citement during the whole of yesterday.
The Moniteur contains the following:—
" Several journal have given different versions of a
collision of which the small colony of Nors-B6 has re-
cently been the theatre. The following are the official
details which the Government has just received of this
unfortunate affair. The abolition of slavery had caused
greqt irritation among the Sakalave proprietors residing
at Nors-86. Soon after the promulgation of the decree
of emancipation they abandoned the French establish-
ment and retired en masse to the main land of Mada-
gascar. The Commandant of Mazotte, hearing of
this sudden emigration, went among these men, over
whom hn had some influence. Ho nnnld not anerned
in bringing them back to our territory, but he
at least thought that he had appeased their anger,
as they all protested their pacific disposition. Captain
Despointes, commanding the naval station of Reunion,
who visited them some time after, received similar assu-
rances l but after the sailing of the Reine Blanche their
attitude soon changed. They
_commenced by making
nocturnal incursions on our establishment, and then at-

tempted some acts of incendiarism; after which they
assassinated two European dealers, MM. Labaville and
Wilder. Captain Marcbatise, of the Marines, who
commanded in the island, apprehended that he should
soon have to repel a serious attack, and concentrated his
forces on the Plateau of Helleville, which he put in a
state of defence. On the 16th of une he was informed
that the Sakalaves had landed to the number of 4,000. He
sent out a detachment to reconnoitre, composed of 100
Malgach militia, 20 Native infantry, and one corporal
and one soldier (whites), under the command of Lieu-
tenant Cottey, of the Marines. This little force fell into
an ambush, in the midst of the main body of the enemy.
At the first fire the Malgaches took to flight.
Lieutenant Cottey and the corporal perished in boldly
defending their lives, and the other white and five
men of the African company fell wounded beside
their officer. Emboldened by this sucess, the Saka-
laves came the next day to nearly within cannon
shot reach of Belleville, set fire to the sur-
rounding villages, and commenced the siege of the
Plateau. They were there repulsed on all sides, and
hastily embarked for the main land. On hearing of
these events the Commissary-General of the Isle de In
Reunion and the Commandant of the squadron, took
measures to secure our possession at Nors P 4 from
further aggression. Captain Despointes went himself
with the Heine Blanche and the steam-corvette Cassini,
with a reinforcement of infantry and artillery, and other
forces were taken there by the Oise corvette. It may be,
therefore, calculated on, that any further hostilities on
the part of the Sakalaves will have either been prevented
or repressed."
Yesterday being All Saints Day the Bourse was
shut.
The Presse makes no comment on the PRESIDENT'S
Message, possibly in consequence of the absence of
M. DE GIRARDIN in London.
The funds are quoted at the Passage de l'Opera at
87i. 25c., so that the fall of Ilf. has not in the
slightest degree recovered.

AUSTRIA.

VIENNA, OCT. 28.—The public journals give the
welcome intelligence this day that it has just been
resolved, in a Council of the Ministers, that there
shall be an end to the punishment of death for merely
political offenders in Hungary. A courier has been
sent off to Festh, with dispatches to that effect.
The Lloyd, in making known the above, adds—
"The proceedings against those who are implicated
will, however, be carried on to their termination.
Certain categories also are to be formed, under which
the accused are to he classed. In its effects the latter
measure very nearly resembles an amnesty for those
who are but slightly implicated.
The last corps of Russians under GRABBE
evacuated the Hungarian territory on the 27th ult.
Letters from Treutschin complain bitterly of the
conduct of the Russian troops, which has not been
such as might be expected from soldiers sent by one
Monarch to the assistance of another. KOSSUTH and
the Magyars, on the contrary, are spoken of with
respect. While they spoke in terms of praise of the
insurgents they expressed themselves in a contemp-
tuous manner of the Austrian soldiers ; and during
the residence of the latter among them they took the
most lively pleasure in singing and playing Hun-
garian national airs in their hearing, particularly the
" Military March of Kossuth." This shows that the
feeling is strong against the Austrians.
The Council of War continues to sit at Presburgh.
The disgust occasioned by the atrocities of HAYNAU
is so great that eight commissioners of counties have
resigned their office ; their names are PAUL of Som-
sich, late leader of the Conservative party in the
Diets of 1847 and 1848 ; GEottoilof Mailatly, jun.,
KISS, SENYBY, ROLIONCZY, and Count PECHY EMA-
NUEL. This example will probably be followed by
others. Count STEPHEN SZIRMAY and Count
FRANCIS ZICHY, who fought in the Imperial army
during the war, are loud in their expressions of dis-
' gust at the arbitrary manner in which Hungary is
treated.
The Wiener Zeitung publishes the regulations for
the opening of the national loan for the Imperial
Austrian finances.

With regard to the interview which the Turkish
Ambassador had with the EMPEROR, the Breslau
Zeitung says :—" MESSAROS, the Turkish Ambassa-
dor at our Court, remitted a letter from the SULTAN
to the EMPEROR on the 25th, which appears to have
been decisive on the question of the Magyar refugees.
MESSAROS likewise had a conference with the Pre-
mier, Prince SCHWARTZENDERG. We have since
learnt, from an authentic source, that the Porte
pledges itself not to give up any of the renegades,
and to have all the refugees taken under a strong
escort from Widdin to the Isle of Candia. This pro-
position was accepted by our Government; it is said
to have originated with Count STURMEB."
