The French Journals of Monday 'l;4
are occuied
the trial of M. Dupoty, Editor of the Journal £ l'euple•
The Courrier Francais, remarking upon thei of 't
nramY d
this trial, says :—" It is certain that the MiniSters an .
their families openly express an opinion that M. DuP°tY
ought to be condemned, and leave it to be inferred thatf tog
the existence of the Cabinet is attached to the success 0 ri9f
the accusation. The whole weight of the Governrien;qo
is thus brought to bear upon the Peers. Will they show;,ioo
that they are beyond the reach of such deplorable and 714
powerful influence? Will justice be greater than fear?

us to trace to the Judges the line which they ongl!t ' d
follow, but we entreat them not to forget at this soiewn:fut
moment that M. Dupoty is an adversary of the Govern-,,
ment, and that the Government desires his condena'
nation."
It was privately reported in Paris on Monday that the
Court of Peers had actually voted the condemnation, °
Dupoty by 136 votes to 23 ! Atrocious as this report Is:
we can hardly doubt its correctness, from our acquaint
ance with the infamous composition of that servile and
most despicable Court.

Queen Dowager of Bavaria, her Majesty's mother, l'izm
prevent any fetes being given at Court.

the States General of Hanover, who have not been aid

the capital, and returned to their constituents. The snii;
plementary Deputies have been called on to Sit in the
