to the fact of the enemy having surrendered
to Russia alone a side-thrust at the dearly
beloved Austrian ally the proclamation con-
cludes with the following passionate outburst :
" Honour and glory to you! Honour and glory to
your victorious leader I You have again, as you
always do, proved yourselves worthy of the name of
the victorious army of all the Russias. My thanks to
all and each of you! I am satisfied with you !! I
am proud of you! ! !"
Having thus exhausted all the eulogistic epithets at
his command, the EMPEROR affixes his imperial signa-
ture to the document. They say that a royal speech
is generally remarkable for its small amount of truth-
fulness ; but rarely, if ever, has a royal or imperial
discourse or document equalled in the absurdity of
its untruthfulness the last proclamation of NICHOLAS.
It is, in fast, a sarcasm more cutting than any oppo-
nent could have contrived upon the result of the
Hungarian campaign. If the valour of the Russian
arms alone had really and indeed effected the subju-
gation of Hungary, however much we might lament
the catastrophe, we could pardon the self-gratulations
of the victors ; but, as it is !—as it is ! when we know
that other influences than the sword and the bayonet
have thinned the patriot ranks, the boastful exultation
of the EMPEROR appears positively ridiculous. The
conduct of the absolute Prince has recently been
sufficiently characterised by its audacity and unrea-
sonableness, but this last act gives it the finishing
touch. To congratulate soldiers on the " manly
bravery " exhibited in an enterprise achieved by cor.
ruption and treachery !

DELAY OF THE FOREIGN MAILS.

—— - _
In consequence of the stormy weather which pre-
vailed last night. , throughout ,the channel, our, Paris
journals and other foreign intelligence have been
unexpectedly delayed. This must account for the
meagre and abbreviatedicharaCter of the subjoined in-
formation relating to the countries of the European
Continent.. •

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

Very shortly before going to press we received the
Paris journals of yesterday. Consequently, our glean-
ings from their contents must be unusually brief, be-
cause unusually rapid and cursory. •
At the Council held on Tuesday, where it was de-
cided that there was no necessity for an early convo-
cation of the Assembly, the Ministers prevailed on
the PRESIDERT to abandon his intention of returning
to St. Cloud, where he has been for some time re-
siding.
As to the prospect of the Empire in lieu of the
Republic, the following paragraph will show what
are the feelings of M. TRIERS :
"The President," says the Constitutionnel, "was re-
ceived at Fontainbleau with demonstrations; if possible,
more warm. Not only cries of Vire l'Empereur,' were
heard, but cries of Vire la Famille Imperiale.' • Fon-
tainbleau is, •in fact, full of Imperial souvenirs.
Everybody knows how Napoleon loved this place.
To him the Chateau owes its principal em•
bellishments. It was there he took refuge after
his defeat; there may be seen the table on which he
signed his abdication; there the flight of steps from
which he bade adieu to his old soldiers. The acclama-
tions which followed the President proved that the in-
habitants of Fontainbleau possess heart and memory, and
that they envelope the uncle and the nephew in the same
sentiments of gratitude and respect."
It was currently reported that the French Govern.
ment had addressed a most determined note to the
Camarilla at Gaeta. The Commission of Cardinals
had threatened to quit Rome, and it was even said
that Cardinal ALTIERI had left.

Seven Socialists, who were arrested on Monday,
the 27th ult., at an eating-house established by the
Association of Cooks, were released from confinement
on Tuesday.
La Patrie confirms the report of the nomination of
General :RArtnort to the command of the 'army
in Rome.

An absurd report that an offer of mediation had
been made to the Pors by the Russian EAII'EROIC
was afloat in Paris, but contradicted.

We hear that his MAJESTY has given orders for
the establishment of a free school at Harderwyk, in
Guelderland on the Zuyder Zee, for the board and
instruction of young men, who are to be trained as
sub officers in the Indian service. No youth will be
allowed to sail for India who has not served two
years as a subaltern at
.Harderwyk, and given evidence
of
.hit ability. The subalterns who shall be placed
in this school, and leave. it for India, shall continue
their studies there, and after two years shall be
appointed to the rank of officers. Thus every youth
who is admitted into the institution at Harderwyk
will have the privilege of entering the East India
service as officer within four years._... Dutch Papers,
