LONDON, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 12, 1148.

patriotic self-devotion, with which he was satisfied to
sacrifice even life itself for what he believed to be the
benefit of his country.
We do not in the slightest degree attempt
or desire to justify the course which Mr. O'BRIEN
has pursued. From the moment that Mr. O'BRIEN
became the advocate of physical force— that be aban-
doned the moral force doctrines under and by which
so many triumphant victories were obtained—he had
no more strenuous or uncompromising opponent than
ourselves ; but our conscientious opposition never led
us to ascribe improper or paltry:motives; on the con-
trary, we ever believed him to be a perfectly honest
and consistent, although a most mistaken, politician.
The manner in which the Lord Chief Justice pro-
nounced sentence upon the prisoner encourages the
hope that the Judges will support the unanimous re-
commendation of the jury. Whenever there
is any doubt as to the result—whenever there
is reason to suppose that the extreme penalty of the
law may be enforced, it is the invariable rule to warn
the convict against indulging in any fallacious hopes
that cannot be realised. This is more especially the
case when the jurors have accompanied their verdict
by the expression of their opinion that the life of the
prisoner should be spared. We cannot recal to our
recollection a single instance in modern times, in
which a party was executed without such a warning
andjintimation being conveyed along with the sen-
tence. The Lord Chief Justice was, however, silent
on this point. He stated that the recommendation
would be forwarded to the LORD-LIEUTENANT, to
whom exclusively belonged the power of complying
therewith; but he did not add, that the Judges
could not coincide in the recommendation, or support
it by their approval. This, then, as we have already
stated, affords the strongest indication as to the ulti-
mate fate of the prisoner.
We have already repeatedly advanced reasons, both
on public and private grounds, why the extreme
penalty should be remitted. We pointed out the
impolicy of exasperating the Irish mind, of converting
the unfortunate gentleman into a popular idol, whose
follies and imperfections would be forgotten, who
would be regarded as a martyred patriot, a hero, whose
memory would be enshrined and his name conse-
crated in the wild melodies of his country. If he be
spared, in a brief period his history will be forgotten,
and he will speedily sink into oblivion ; but, other-
wise, new opponents of the British power will spring
from his ashes. The scaffold, watered with his blood,
will constitute a soil from whence a goodly crop of
treason may be looked for.
There is one '_point, however, to which we briefly
alluded on Tuesday, to which we may return, and
offer a few additional observations. We then stated
" that if the extreme penalty was carried into execu-
tion it might be asserted, with truth, that the same
protection and justice is not afforded to the Irish
people that may be claimed by every British citizen ;
tha: the sufferer would be regarded as the victim of
partial and unequal laws, and a new and powerful
argument would be given to all classes of Repealers,
viz., that the fundamental provisions of the Act of
Union had been violated, and set aside, and that in a
point involving the life and property of an Irish gen-
tleman, many years the representative of an important
constituency in the Imperial Parliament." The Sixth
Article of the Treaty of Union—the sacred compact
entered into by two independent nations, and to the
due observance of which the Rational faith, the
national honour, the very oath of the SOVEREIGN,
were solemnly pledged is to the effect :
That his MAJESTY'S subjects of Great Britain
and Ireland shall from and after the first day of
January, 1801, be entitled to the same privileges, and
be on the same footing in every respect as to all rights
and advantages both at home and abroad." We are
aware that it has been suggested that this article is
limited to trade, navigation, and foreign treaties, but

be remembered especially that the encomiums pro-
nounced upon Sir C. NAPIER by the Noble Chairman
were very different from those wretched compliments
which are lavished upon each other by the ordinary
class of after-dinner orators—those parasitical com-
pliments which are the prolific exudations of egotism
—they were meeds of praise won at the point of the
bayonet and at the muzzle of the carronade ; they
were guerdons of applause purchased by a strong hand,
and a gallant heart, and a vigilant and capacious in-
tellect ; they were the expressions of an approbation
justified by the glorious victories of ➢leeanee and Hy-
derabad, extorted by the sudden expulsion of the
Ameers, and by the rapid occupation of Sinde, and
enhanced in enthusiasm by the brilliant adminis-
tration of the great country lying between
the frontiers of Ajmeer and Beloochistan, be-
tween the southern boundaries of Gundava and the
alternate swamps and deserts which lie to the north-
ward of the province of Choorwangur. It was well
observed by the Earl of ELLENBOROUGH, that Sir
CHARLES NAPIER might have been received with ac-
clamations in remembrance of his brilliant successes
at the head of his regiment throughout the memor-
able campaigns of the Peninsula, and also in remem
brance of
,his distinguished course when the govern-
ment of the lonian Islands was subsequently en-
trusted to his authority. But, honourable and meri-
torious as the conduct of the gallant officer had been
in these the initiatory acts of his military and admi-
nistrative career, they will occupy but a subordi-
nate position in his biography, when contrasted with
the splendid triumphs achieved by him on the classic
banks of the Indus, when, after marching his army
through the desert, he routed the Ameers upon the
mountains, and, while he enriched the Asiatic pos-
sessions of Great Britain by the acquisition of a mag-
nificent dominion, he rewarded the fidelity of an im-
portant ally in the person of the Nawaub of BHA-
WULPOOR. Victories such as these, which produced
so many extraordinary results—victories second to
none of those which have shed lustre on our arms in
Hindostan, from Plessey to Sobraon—have entitled
the Conqueror of Sinde to the admiration of his
fellow-countrymen ; while the manner in which
the Administrator of Sinde accompanied the
exercise of an almost unlimited authority
with the exercise of " justice—justice—justice," have
entitled him in a very particular manner to the respect
and gratitude of posterity—respect for power so em-
ployed, gratitude for the addition of glory which his
probity has cast upon the national character. Fifty-
four years service in the British army have been well
compensated by considerations such as these, by the
sanction of an approving conscience, and by the
plaudits of those who have no inducements whatever
to degenerate into flatterers. Whatever may be
the grievances resulting from the misrepresenta-
tions of his assailants, Sir CHARLES NAPIER must
have derived some small solace from the
affection with which his deeds and his very
name have been remembered in his native
land, and by the friendship of the illustrious noble-
man who filled the office of Governor-General euriug
the time the conquest of Sinde was effected. It
is a barren consolation to remind any distinguished
man, that if his contemporaries are ungrateful, pos-
terity will evince impartiality. We would not give
this consolation to Sir CHARLES NAPIER ; we would,
on the contrary, assure him that posterity will not
more fully appreciate his glorious career than a very
large and reflective, and not altogether uninfluential,
portion of his immediate contemporaries.

we confess that the interpretation which an eminent
member of the Irish bar, Mr. HisacuLEs Em as, has
placed thereon appears more reasonable. That
Learned Gentleman maintained " that the first section
of the sixth article contained four paragraphs which
are indeed four distinct covenants entered into between
Great Britain and Ireland—four of those terms and
conditions upon which Ireland consented to be united
to Great Britain. The first paragraph covenanted
that from and after the Ist January, 1801, his MA-
JESTY'S subjects of Great Britain and Ireland shall
enjoy the same privileges." Surely this is plain and
distinct, and it is also a very probable demand, one
that would certainly be made by a nation about to
surrender its independent existence and to be amalga-

mated in every respec t with another. It is scarcely

probable that the Irish Legislature would make such
stringent stipulations as to encouragement and bounties
on the same articles as to trade and commerce,
and with respect to all foreign treaties,
and be utterly silent as to the lives and pro-
perties of the people. It is not credible that such
negligence would be exhibited in a matter of such
vital importance. It was felt, however, that in de-
manding the same privileges all that could be
desired was obtained. It may, therefore, we think,
fairly be assumed that not only the express
words of the article, but its spirit demanded
that the constitutional privileges enjoyed by
Englishmen should be participated in by
every Irishman. We ask is this the case ?
Let the Lord Chief Justice answer. When Mr.
WHITESIDE suggested of a case alluded to by the
Learned Judge in the course of his charge, that it
was an English case, where the accused had a list of
witnesses eleven days before, his Lordship acknow•
edged the justice of the remark, and said, "that the
prisoner is exposed to the disadvantage, or, rather,
he is not entitled to the advantage which
he would have received in England of
being furnished with a list of witnesses." After this
acknowledgment it cannot be asserted that the Irish
have equal "privileges" with English subjects.
And we, therefore, submit that if Mr. SMITH
O'BRIEN be executed there will be a grave violation
of that article. If there were no other grounds for
an extension of mercy than that we have suggested,
it would, we think, be amply sufficient for the pur-
' pose; but, coupled with the other facts to which we
have already directed the public attention, it is in our
opinio❑ perfectly irresistible.

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

We have received the Paris papers of yesterday.

The Patric has the following on the Ministerial, or,
more properly speaking, on the Governmental crisis :
" There is no longer any question of a Ministerial
modification, nor of the retirement of General Cavaig-
nac. The General has to-day told his friends that he
should remain at the head of the Government until
the election of the President of the Republic."
The same journal says—
" Last evening at seven o'clock the following mo-
dification of the Ministry was handed about at the
National Assembly as definitively settled :—General
Bedeau, Foreign Affairs; M. Dufaure, Interior; M.
Havin, Public Instruction ; and M. Bastide, Public
Works. M. Vivien was spoken of for Justice, and
M. Achille Fould or M. Gouin for Finance, but
nothing has yet been decided on these two points.
At the moment of going to press, General Cavaignac,
it is said, was hesitating to acc.,.pt two Republicans of
the Surlendemain in place of MM. Marie and Goud-
chaux."

A convivial banquet was given to Sir CHARLES
N A?IER, in his capacity of Conqueror and Adminis-
trator of Sinde, exactly a week ago, namely,
on Thursday evening, the sth of this present Oc-
tober, in the palatial hotel, situated at the end of the
Promenade in Cheltenham. The Earl of ELLEN-
BOROUGH, attracted thither from his quaint old man-
sion at Sontham, was the chairman Among the
company, composed principally of military atd
naval officers, were distinguishable the features
of " the gallant Welsh artilleryman LLOYD," whose
batteries often mowed down the enemy with such
deadly precision, those of WILEY, " who fell wounded
while cheering on his companions in the battle,"
those of " young AnluaDo," who hazarded his life
by plunging, sword in hand, among the combatants,
and those also of several others who have reaped
honour, if not emolument, by their valiant deeds in
the peninsula of Hindostan. A report of the eulo-
gistie speeches delivered upon this very interesting
occasion will be found in another portion of this
evening's impression.

The last dread sentence of the law has been pro-
nounced upon Mr. SMITH O'BRIEN. The brutal and
repulsive enactment, befitting a degraded and barba-
rous nation, but a stain upon and a disgrace to the
British statute book, is to be carried into execution
upon a chivalrous and high. mindel gentleman, and
unless her MAJESTY should exercise her most glorious
prerogative in , his favour within a brief period,
WILLI&M 4ITH O'BRIEN will be " drawn on a hurdle
to the place of execution, and be there hanged by the
neck unfit ke is dead, that afterwards his head shall
he severed front his body, his body severed into four
quartesa, to be disposed of as her MAJESTY shall
think fit." Such is the judgment which the Learned
Judges, who so ably and impartely presided during
the trial, were compelled to denver ; but most sin-
cerely and earnestly do we hope that no attempt may
be made to carry that judgment into execution.
The short address uttered by Mr. O'BRIEN, when
call d uNn to state any reason why sentence of
dent execution should not be passed upon him,
has teen strongly commented upon by several of our
contemporaries. It has been described as an out-
break of temper—a defiance of the SOVEREIGN and
the Judges, au act of vul.gar bravado and peevish
per:istance in crime. New, we must most empha-
tically protest against this most unfair and unwar-
ranted' construction. Mr. O'BRIEN neither defied
the Court nor, the law=he evinced no unmanly petu-
lance or braggart recklessness, but in a calm and
dignified spirit he declared the truth and
stncerity of his covictions, and expressed
his readiness to seal the testimony with
his trlood upon t;he scaffold. Had he exhibited a de
pressed or cowardly bearing, had he implored mercy
from the power he defied, he would have become
merely contemptible, and there would have been
strong grounds for supposing, that overweening
vanity, a craving for notoriety, and a desire of per-
sonal aggrandisement bad been his ruling passion.
But his calm assertion, even in that dreadful mo-
ment, that he had but discharged the duty which, in
his opinion, every Irishman owed to his country, and
thedeelar4tion,that he was prepared to abide the con-
sequences of his act, afforded the strongest evidence
of the integrity and purity of his motives, of the

It is with peculiar pleasure—a pleasure only com-
mensurate in its depth with the fullne:s of our ap-
preciation of the achievements of the illustrious
Captain, in whose honour the banquet was pro-
vided—that we record, as a fait (or shall we
say a fête) accompli, a dinner given to the
Conqueror and Administrator of Sinde within the
distance of half a dozen miles from the country resi-
dence of the Earl of ELLENBOROUGH, and with that
eminent nobleman himself officiating as chairman.
It seems like a jovial retribution cast about the ears
of a clique of political antagonists—like a thorn of
merriment employed to puncture the sides of that
miserable clique, that clique which Sir CHARLES
NAPIER rather bitterly designated as "a party of
damned scoundrels—a rascally press and a rascally
government." Waiving altogether the
.soldierlike
bluntness of the allusion, we do sympathise most
cordially with the emotions which must have been
experienced by the illustrious guest on Thursday
evening, when he found himself once more in Eng-
land surrounded by his old companions in arms, and
when he heard his name mentioned, moreover, in
terms of earnest and deserved panegyric by the lips
of a man no less distinguished in statesmanship and
administration ~than the ex-Governor-General of
Britioll India, the Earl of ELLENBOROUGH. It must

There is, it appears, a split in the Opposition camp
which tends greatly to strengthen the position of
General CAVAIGNAC. M. Limo, eager for office,
is anxious to upset the Ministry at once, and to have
a new Ministry appointed, of which his brother-in-
law, General LAMORICIBRE shall be nominally Presi-
dent, but which he himself (M. Taigas) shall inspire.
Count MOLE, considering that all Ministerial changes
must at the present moment tend to weaken the
Government, and that a strong Government is above
all things to be desired, refuses to take part in these
intrigues against General CAVAIGNAC, and is willing
to afford the General every assistance in his power.
The sitting of the Assembly on Tuesday was occu-
pied in discussing the proposition of M. WoLowsm,
for issuing paper money guaranteed on landed pro-
perty. The proposition was opposed by M. TRIERS
and IsT. GOUDCHAVI, and the debate was adjourned.
In the course of the debate the Finance Minister
assured the Assembly that the wants of the public
service for the next seventeen months were pro-
vided for.

The Finance Committee heard, on Monday, the
Minister of Finance and M. VAYIN, Liquidator of
the Civil List, on the proposition relative to the
debts of the late Royal Family. The Committee,
considering the difficult position of the creditors of
the Civil List, resolved to call on the Assembly to
appoint an early day for the discussion of their
claims. The project of decree, as amended by the
Minister of Finance, maintained the sequestration,
and authorised the Minister, a delegate, or liquidator,
to mortgage the property, and contract a loan to
pay the creditors of the Civil List. It also em-
powered the Minister of Finance to make a provi-
sion for the Princes of the Royal Family, and to
return to them their moveable property and jointures.
The proposition for issuing
,paper money, on the
security of landed property, was ultimately rejected
by the Assembly by a majority of 578 against 210.
The Assembly afterwards repealed, without any
discussion, the law of the 10th of April, 1832, which
banished the family of NAPOLEON from the French
territory.
A disagreeable rencontre took place in the salle
des pas perdu. (the lobby of the National Assembly),
between M. BASTIDE, the Minister for Foreign Af-
fairs, and M. TnonAiD, formerly the vice-president
of the Blanqui Club. M. THOUARD came to the hail,
as he said, to meet M. BASTIDE. As soon as M.
BASTIDE (who was accompanied by his chef de cabinet,
M. HETZEL) appeared, M. THOUARD approached and
spat in M. BASTIDR'S face. Both M. BASTIDE and
H. HETZEL put their hands to their pockets as if in
search of arms ; but the guard coming up, M.
THOUARD was at once arrested. It appears that H.
THOUARD had been appointed Vice-Consul at Naples;
but, after he had gone as far as Marseilles, towards
that destination, he was recalled and ordered to go to
Guayaquil. Three days afterwards, however, he was
dismissed from the latter post, and he has since
written both to M. BASTIDE and M. HETZEL, threat-
ening to poignard them.

The Charge de Affairee of the Central German
Government has transmitted the following note to
the Federal Directory of Switzerland :
" After the unfortunate result of the revolution at-
tempted by Hecker and his associates in the Grand
Duchy of Baden, the fugitives for the most parts
withdrew to the Swiss territory. Never had the
German Governments, though united in confedera-
tion, any idea of demanding their extradition, or of
requiring that the right of asylum should be refused
to them, as long as the refugees could be considered
as peaceful inhabitants of Switzerland. But that is
what they never have been, or, at least, what they
have been during but a short time. The refugees
continued their machinations without interruption ;
they kept up relations with the inhabitants of southern
Germany ; they distributed a number of seditious
writings; they endeavoured to weaken the discipline
of the German troops, and produced such an agitation
in the said states that to place on foot a considerable
body of troops became necessary. Circumstances
obliged the Germanic Diet, which, up to the esta-
blishment of the Central Provisional Govern-
ment, had the care of the common in-
terests of Germany, to take such measures
as were proper to prevent the perturbation
of tranquillity in the German states. To that
effect it addressed, on July 30, 1648, the Directory
a note in which, while exposing its causes of com-
plaint, it demanded strongly that the armed refugees
should be removed from the frontier cantons where

litans had been forced to seek protection in the city.
It was said that the Second Chamber was disposed to
accept the second son of the King of NAPLES as their
Sovereign, with a constitution.

they were beginning to exercise themselves in arms
Major de Liel, in the Bavarian service, was charged
to hand in this note personally, and to add such ex-
planations as might be required. That gentleman
addressed, about the ad of August, 1848, to the
Archduke Vicar of the Empire, who had in the
meantime been charged with the central power of
Germany, a report on his mission, appending to it a
verbal note addressed to him by the President of the
Directory. This verbal note declared the complaints
of the Germanic Diet to be not well founded, inas-
much as it declared that according to the communi-
cations made by the Cantonal Governments, there
was no question of the organisation of any body of
refugees for military exercise, or of their uniting for
the purpose of aggression; that on the contrary the
refugees remained quiet, subject to a special control
on the part of the cantonal authorities, who were
firmly determined not to tolerate that abuse of the
right of asylum, contrary to the interests of Swit-
zerland, as well as to the policy which she had up to
that time followed. After such declarations and as-
surances, the Government of the Vicar of the Empire
couldsubmit to the Vicar of the Empire the question to
ascertain if the measures taken by the Cerman Diet
for the safety of the German territory were justified,
and if the indications given by the Cantonal Govern-
ments were true. Struve and his accomplices, whose
presence and agitations along the German frontier
had called forth the complaints of the German Diet,
afew days ago made an invasion into the Grand Duchy
of Baden. Rapine and forced contributions marked
their passage, and their proclamations only too well
proved that their criminal enterprise was the violent
overthrow of existing order, for the purpose of sub-
stituting for it, under the mask of liberty, the most
terrible terrorism and the most frightful despotism.
Although the valour of the troops of the empire, and
the attachment of the citizens to their constitution
and to legal order, baffled the infamous designs of
these free corps, however that event imposes on the
Government of the Vicar of the Empire the duty to
adopt such measures as the honour and safety of
Germany demand. The preparations for this inva-
sion could not have escaped the notice of the Can-
tonal Governments. Nevertheless, this violation so
flagrant of the duties imposed by the right of nations
has taken place—a violation for which the Go-
vernment of the Vicar of the Empire demands
a complete satisfaction, and in the shortest delay.
The Central Provisional Government has been anxious
to express the high value which it attaches to re-
entering on the most amicable relations with the Con-
federation, but it recognises also the gravity of the
duties which are imposed on it relative to Germany,
and it will know how to fulfil them. It is in con-
formity with these duties that it demands that the
Governments of the Cantons in which the organisa-
tion of the free corps took place should at once pro-
ceed to a searching investigation, and to the punish-
ment of the functionaries and authorities who are in
fault ; that all the refugees be immediately disarmed,
and, as their complete removal from the cantons
would be an unconstitutional act, that they be dis-
persed to a suitable distance from the German fron-
tier, and placed under the inspection of the police ; in
fine, that it be declared in a positive manner what
guarantees can be given that similar events, capable
of stifling the germs of liberty in Germany, shall not
again take place. Should these demands not be com-
plied with in the shortest possible delay, the Vicar of
the Empire, convinced that it will enter the lists for
liberty, and not against it, and that it will
have for adversaries, not the Swiss people, but those
who despise laws and civilization, will exhaust all the
means the application of which can be justified by the
violations mentioned above, of performing the duties
imposed by the right of nations, and demanded by the
honour of Germany.—Berne, Oct. 4."

GLASGOW.—DANGEROUS AMUSEMENT.—At a late
hour on Friday evening, a seamen was observed in
Buchanan-street, taking a pistol out of his pocket, which
he deliberately raised above his head, and tired off. The
report considerably alarmed the passers-by, and the
offender was promptly seized by a watchman and taken
to the central police-office. On being searched a second
pistol was got on his person, which, on examination, was
found loaded with small pellets. The charge was drawn
and a heavy pledge having been exacted from the ma-
riner for his appearance at the police court the following
day, be was liberated; the somewhat alarming occur
rence being considered nothing more serious than a frolic
on the part of the seaman. The case was gone into the
following day (Saturday), when the defendant appeared
in court to answer the charge. The evidence adduced
having sufficiently established the alarming nature of the
offence the sitting magistrate (Bailie D. Smith) inflicted
a fine of two guineas.
