LONDON, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 17, Is4B.

A verdict of guilty was returned on Saturday
right against Mr. P. O'DoriontE, the third of the
Sate prisoners who was placed on trial at the
Special Commission at Clonmel. There was, how-
Cvor, in his case a very mitigating circumstance
which materially reduced the character of his offence,
viz., that previously to the attack upon the police at
Bain/I-Tarry he had withdrawn and disconnected
himself from his associates—a fact that was dis-
tinctly established by the verdict of the jury, who,
on that ground, most strongly recommended the
prisoner to the merciful consideration of the Crown.
Thus it appears that Mr. OTONOBUE did not
participate in any act of violence whatsoever, that
he was not present when a single shot was fired
in anger, or where any person, even on the side of thy
misguided insurgents, was in the slightest degree in-
jured. The most probable solution of the entire
circumstances seems to be that the unfortunate man,
who was the vice-president of one of the clubs had
fled from Dublin on the passing of the Habeas Corpus
Suspension Act, intending to remain hid until the
course of events was fully ascertained, Mr,
MEAGHER, to whom he appears to have more pecu-
lia attached himself, was the person from, or
through whom he expected to have obtained shelter
and protection. With him he travelled through the
disturbed districts, and it seems to have been
pretty clearly established that he was at
Killenaule when the barricades were erected,
to impede the passage of Captain Lomas:wit)] and his
troop of Dragoons until the assurance was given that
they did not eome for the purpose of attempting to
arrest Mr. SMITH O'BRIEN. Grave doubts might
justly have been entertained as to how far he had
been implicated in demanding the arms of the police
at Mullinahone, the evidence in that respect wholly
resting upon the testimony of SULLIVAN, the ex-
policeman, who could scarcely be regarded as a
trustworthy witness, particularly if the unaccountable
absence of the informations which he had sworn
respecting the affair, and the alleged discrepancies
between the statements therein contained and those
which he made when produced upon the table, were
takeninto consideration. It was perfectly clear that
the prisoner, along with Mr. MEAGHER and Air.
LEYNE, had voluntarily abandoned Mr. O'BRIEN on
the evening preceding the affair at Farrinrory. That
was established beyond the possibility of doubt, on
the testimony of HANRAHAN and of MARY MASER,
while the slightest credit could not be attached to
the evidence of MoRAN, the only one of the police
who swore to seeing the prisoner on the day in ques-
tion, and whose imagination appears to have been of
a very lively character, for he it was who, in oppo-
sition to all the other evidence, and to all probability,
swore that Mr. SMITH O'BRIEN had given the word
to , his followers to attack the constabulary, by
saying, " Slash away, boys, and slaughter them
all" —a statement which the Lord Chief
Justice is his charge adMitted to be wholly a mis-
take. What then could have been the occasion of
that separation I' It must clearly Lave bee 4 that the

prisoner, and those with whom he was acting, did
not approve of the course decided upon by Mr.
O'BRIEN ; that they were not prepared for an im-
mediate outbreak, even although they might have
contemplated one upon a future occasion, and that
their participation, so far as it was afforded, was
merely for the purpose of preventing the arrest of
SMITH O'BRTEN, and avoiding it themselves, an
offence undoubtedly of a very grave and serious
character, but lacking that universality of purpose
which is an incident essential to maintain the charge
of high treason. It is manifest that some
at least of the jury took this view of
the case, for we find them, in answer to a
communication from the Judges, stating, at ten
o'clock on Saturday night, "that they were not
likely to agree," and again coming into court a little
before eleven, and receiving a statement of the law
from Judge MOORE, who, in answer to a question to
that effect, informed them " that if any one did any
act, aiding and abetting :a person guilty of treason,
though he might not be conscious of the intent of
the other, he was also guilty of treason." On this
point, then, their verdict seemed to have turned, for
shortly afterwards their agreement was announced.
This, then, must be assumed to be the law
at the present day, upon which a human
being has been convicted of the highest of-
fence known to the law, involving not only
the loss of his own life, but the corruption
of his blood—the disinheriting of his:innocent chil-
dren, if they should by a possibility come to inherit
property in his right. He might be
.wholly ignorant
of the treasonable intent or purpose of another; he
might himself not harbour a disloyal thought, and
yet he might be convicted of high treason because he
was unfortunately in company with, and rendered
assistance to, a traitor. Surely, under such a code,
no person can possibly be safe. Every man's life
depends upon a mere chance, and may be forfeited
for the most trivial acts, coupled with the most inno-
cent intentions. We do not censure the Learned Judge
by whom this astounding state of the law was laid
down to the jurors. He but discharged the
duty imposed upon him and faithfully reported the
opinions of a former Judge, who interpreted the law
in other days. The point in question was determined
on the trials of the Earls of ESSEX and SOUTHAMPTON,
and the latter nobleman was convicted of high
treason, although he actually believed that he was
only assisting his friend in a private quarrel, and
according to the ruling of one of the most eminent
Judges that ever occupied the judicial bench (Chief
Justice HALE), that all who accompanied Lord
ESSEX to London, whether they knew of his intent
or not, were guilty of high treason.
Surely it is high time that there should be a
searching revision of the Criminal Code when so
monstrous an absurdity may be perpetrated thereunder,
as finding a man practically, although not morally,
guilty, and sacrificing human life in support of a legal
fiction. These legal fictions are a stain and disgrace
upon our law. Parties should be fairly and justly
responsible for their own acts. It is perhaps fitting,
in order to produce greater care, that they should
also be pecuniarily responsible for the acts of their
servants, but not criminally so. Lord Bionanass
declaimed with indignant eloquence in the House of
Lords against the monstrous absurdity of putting
Mr. BLUNDELL, of Ince, upon his trial on a charge of
murder, because his servant left a rope drawn across
the road, over which an old woman fell and was killed.
How is it worse than the state of the law that makes
a lierson responsible for the intentions of another of
which he has no knowledge whatever. We trust
that an enlarged and comprehensive measure
for the reform of the criminal law may
speedily be introduced—in no point is it more re-
quired than in the doctrine of constructive treason.

Austria has no longer any power of cohesion,
,Vhatever may be the result of a colli.sion between the
armies of the various generals who are concentrating
their forces upon Vienna—it is most certain that the
downfal of the German Cssasts is inevitable, and
that that empire which has been aggrandized since
the thirteenth century from a petty principality to a
vast tyglomeration of races, making altogether a
population of about 36,950,600 souls, and extending
over a surface of 257,368 square miles, will be for
ever dissipated and scattered. Nothing can again
hind together an empire so peculiarly heterogeneous
in its character. Antagonistic in temperament,
various in religion, contrary in habits, opposite in
complexion, separated by language, by traditions, by
costume, by prejudices and by partialities,
the thirty-seven millions who have hitherto
obeyed the mandates of the Austrian Em-
perors will no longer listen to those mandates
now that the awe inspired by an irresponsible des-
potism has been removed, now that the people have
been roused from the slumbers of slavery by the voice
of Revolution. Before now, the great house of laps
burg-Lorraine despoiled its neighbours ; now in its
turn it will, itself, be despoiled. Austria on former
occasions partitioned the dominions of Italy, the
principalities of Germany, and the kingdom of
Poland. The moment of retribution is at length
approaching. The doom has been pronounced—the
talisman has been broken—the spells have been turned
against the necromancer--the dominions of Austria
are on the eve of being distributed among the
fragments of those nations who have hitherto been
' only the sport and the victims of the crowned ad-
venturers of Schonbrunn.
To those who are not conversant with the origin
and development of the Austrian empire the foregoing
calculations may appear to be somewhat premature,
and the more so when the doubtful posture of affairs
in the capital is taken into consideration. At the
present moment it is true that it remains entirely a
matter of conjecture whether KOSSUTH will be
triumphant over the forces of JELLacmcn, or whe•
ther DEAK will prosper where AUBBSPERG is dis-
comfited. Some hopes are still reposed by the parti-
sans of FERDINAND in the daring of WINDESCIIGRATZ
and in the military genius of RADETZBY. With such
commanders on the side of the dynasty it is imagined
that the cause of the populace cannot be victorious
except by the interposition of a miracle. We give as
little heed to these frivolous arguments as we wculd
to the tattle of a tea party of gossips and fribbles. The
solution of the great problem as to the consolidation
or the disruption of the Austrian empire is discover-
able, not in the old art of war, but in the stripling
science of ethnology. If the lovers of the absolute
policy of JNlETTEstsiscEr are sanguine because
of certain martial statistics, we are immea-
surably more than merely sanguine by reason
of a vast number of glottological facts and
psychological deductions. Even the Supreme Diet
of Vienna, under the Presidency of FRAIQZ SMOLKA,
is labouring under the delusion that the motley
colours of what is called in the aggregate Austria
can be still mingled together harmoniously in the
woof of a liberal and moderate constitution. The
dream is beautiful, but will be very speedily dissi-
pated. We will in a few sentences explain the reason
of this our conviction. It has already been observed
by us that the Austrian empire is literally the ag-
glomeration of a great number of different races,
without any affinity whatever towards each other—
a position of affairs which, to secure its
permanence, necessitates the exercise of a very
despotic authority. To render the heterogeneous
character of the component parts of this empire ap-
parent it is only necessary to enumerate the names
of the principal divisions—such as the Bohemians,
the Moravians, the Silesians, the Slovacke, the Galli-
cians, the Transylvanians, the Servians, the Illyrians,
the Bukovians, the Tyrolese, the Carinthians, the
Carniolians, the Styrians, the Croatians, the Bul-
garians, the Russines, the Sloventzes, the Magyars,
the Sclavonians, the Italians, the Germans, the Poles,
the Wallachiana, the Malorusses, &c. &c. &c.l ! !
Such is the empire which the Diet dreams of holding
together now that the diabolical charm of Des-
potism has been dissolved, and after the tremendous
convulsion of the late revolutionary outbreak ! Now
that we have mentioned the disruptive character of
Austria, it would surely be superfluous to argue why
it is, in onr opinion, impossible to effect anything
like a continuance of the cohesive power of the late
absolute Government. The reasons are obvious.

They are, as we have already observed, recognizable
in the mere rudiments or elementary principles of
ethnology.
The puzzle now is—not whether it will be dis-
severed, but how its fragments will be distributed.

To our mind the gnswer appears simple enotigh. The

Italian portions of Austria must be allowed to drift off
to strengthen the reviving nationality of the Roman
peninsula. The German portions will tend to con-
solidate the grand Germanic Confederation. As for
the rest, they will naturally and necessarily compact
themselves, in their relative positions, towards the
formation of that noble Panslavic Empire which will
soon have arisen between Western Europe and the
dominions of the AUTOCRAT. By this rational arrange-
ment the balance of power on the Continent will not
be dangerously compromised. None of the kingdoms
already in existence will aggrandize themselves by the
acquisition of the debris of Austria to the detriment or
peril of their neighbours ; and the order of nature, of

religion, of language, of PROVIDENCE will be com-
plied with and universally obeyed. Poland will be
avenged. Italy will be restored to her independence.
Germany will have secured her vast and symmetrical
nationality. And:a broad and impassable barrier will
have arisen to secure civilised Europe from the bar-
barian hordes of the CZAR. Will this revolution of
Austria, then, have been a blessing, or will it have
been a curse ? Aggregated to its present dimensions
by rapine and spoliation, it will have met with the
doom of the robber. Its requiem will be chaunted
less in sadness than in exultation.

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

We have received the Paris papers of yesterday.
The Assembly met at one o'clock, and the hall was
crowded.
M. DUFAURE commenced the proceedings by
ascending the tribune and reading the programme of
the new Cabinet ; it is couched in very conciliatory
language. The debate on the question of confidence
or no confidence then commenced, and MM. Durorrr
DE BUSSAC, PORTALIS, LANDRIN, and LEDEU ROLLIN
severally denounced the new Cabinet as one of re-
action. M. LEDRU ROLLIN was so violent that he
was frequently interrupted by the Assembly, where-
upon he left the tribune without finishing his speech.
A scene of great confusion ensued, and when the post
left General BEDEAU was in vain endeavouring to
obtain a hearing; the friends of M. LEDRU ROLLIN
having determined, that since be had been put
down by clamour, no one else should be heard. The
Government will, it is said, have a large majority.
The admission of M. DUFAURE into the Cabinet is
looked upon by all real Republicans as a false step
from which General CAYAIGNAC will not be able to
recover. The true Republicans of all shades are
opposed to the Ministry as decidedly reactionary and
monarchical, and as a proof that they are justified in
so regarding it, it may be mentioned, as a curious fact,
that the instant the advent to power of M. DUFAURE
became certain, those negotiations which were going
on for a compromise between the elder branch of the
Bourbons and the Orleans dynasty were broken off
by command of Lotus PHILIPPE, who looks forward
to being able at no distant day to resume his position
as KING of the FRENCH.
The National, the organ of the moderate Republi-

cans, which has hitherto supported General CAVAIO
NAC,.,declares that it is:now unable to do so. The more,
says the National, it considers the change just made,
the more firmly is it convinced that a
fault has been committed. It admits that
General CAVAIGNAC, in arranging his Cabinet
in conformity with the presumed majority
in the Assembly, acted in a strictly constitutional
manner, but it thinks that the votes given
on the questions of the press and the election
of the President of the Republic were not
a clear proof that the late cabinet had lost the confi-
dence of the Assembly ; and it therefore contends
that General CAVAIGNAC ought, in the first instance,
to have gone once more and taken the opinion of the
Assembly on a vote of confidence. That part of the
question, however, being now settled, the National
says :—" It only remains to know if the Assembly
will ratify the choice made." On this point the
National does not choose to express an opinion, but
it declares that beyond all doubt the choice made by
General CAVAIGNAC is a deviation from the policy
pursued by him up to the present time, and intimates
its opinion that in consequence of this fault the Mo-
derates will ultimately triumph over the pure Repub.
licans. In concluding its remarks the National says :
" We ask General Cavaignac if he has not made
too great a sacrifice to these circumstances, of which
he has not sufficiently shown us the imperious ne-
cessity, by himself creating the eventuality of a vic-
tory gained, under his auspices, by the Right over
the Left ; that is to say, in short, a victory gained
over those who have achieved the Republic for
France, by those whom the Republic has gained
over since the 24th of February to its principles and
its truths."
There is another fact more suggestive even than
the defection of the National from the Cabinet—it is
the support given to it by the Journal dew Debats. The
organ of M. GulzoT declares that it is predisposed
to look with favour on the Cabinet of M. DUFAURE ;
and yet this same journal which is so predisposed,
thus comments on the deficit of the revenue. After
stating that the deficit in the revenue for the first
quarter was 16 per cent., for the second quarter 46
per cent., and for the third quarter 40f per cent., it
says—

" We shall make few reflections ; the subject is
sad, and the reflections which it suggests, are still
more so. A hundred and two millions of deficit in
nine months in one single branch of the revenue
We believe that there is not an example of a similar
perturbation in the financial history of any nation.
Let cne calculate, if it be possible, how much these
102 millions represent of decrease in the public
wealth, of individual ruin, of the slackening of in-
dustrial labour, of manufactories closed, of wages
lost to the labouring classes, and of miseries of every
sort ! We wish very sincerely that the Republic
may keep all its promises, and spread wealth and
comfort in the midst of the population. But, in the
meantime, here are the fruits of the revolution of
February 1"
We may judge of the sincerity of the Republican
professions of M. DUPAURE by the manner in which
those who are predisposed to afford him their support
speak of the Republic.
M. &sou]; the new Archbishop of Paris, was
formally installed in the Cathedral of Notre Dame
yesterday. Various placards, announcing Prince
Louis NAPOLEON as a candidate for the Presidency
of the Republic were yesterday posted in Paris.
A new division of Colonists, eight hundred in
number, left Paris on Sunday for Algeria.

General VILLALONGA has ordered the potatoes
planted by the populations of the banks of the Ebro
to be removed, the figs to be gathered in, and grain
and vegetables to be secreted, so as to deprive the
insurgents of food. Notwithstanding the severity of
these measures, the vigour and energy of the Carli3ts
is daily on the increase. The Clamor Publico says
that Cabecillas, who were constantly on the watch
to avoid the QUEEN'S troops, are now as constantly on
the watch to fall in with them and give them battle.
The bands in the province of Tarragona have in-
creased to upwards of 500 men, commanded by
GEBER and ESTARTUS, who levy contributions, and
