brought in contact and many others thereof. At
length the Home Secretary decided on the matter,
and the result has been a free pardon to the
unfortunate sufferer, and the expression of
Sir G. GREY'S opinion, " that he now
believes Mr. BARBER to have been free from any
guilty participation in the frauds of which he was
made the instrument." Can a stronger illustration be
required of the evils of the present system, and the
necessity that exists for the establishment of a real
court of appeal, by which errors of fact as well as of
law will be investigated and decided on, and to which
a prisoner will have in every instance a clear right of
appeal before the execution of any part of his
sentence ?

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

We have received the Paris pipers of yesterday.
The fete of the Constitution has passed off' without
the least attempt at interrupting the public tran-
quillity. The public offices were illuminated in the
evening, and yesterday there were public concerts
given in the gardens of the Tuileries, the Luxem-
bourg, and other public places, which attracted large
crowds ; who, however, seemed to have come merely
to enjoy themselves, and uttered no political cries.
The Members of the National Assembly held a
meeting on Sunday, at which they determined to
support the candidature of General CA.VAIGNAC for
the Presidency. The provincial journalists, hereto-
fore supporters of BUGEAUD and CHANGARNIER, have
transferred their support to Louis NAPOLEON.
The Reforxte publishes the following from its cor-
respondent at Berlin, dated the 9th inst., relative to
the Duchess of Orleans :

" I can state to you in the most positive manner, for
I have it from an authentic source, that the Duchess
of Orleans has just addressed a letter to the King of
Prussia. You are aware that she has been for the last
six months stationed in the neighbourhood of Weimar
with her young pretender. She has never, while there,
ceased to intrigue in favour of her son, as well with
Russia, (through the agency of the Duchess of Weimar,
a Russian Princess,) as with the honnete bleu party of
the French Republic and of Claremont. In the letter
she has just sent to the King of Prussia, she says that
the propitious moment for action will be tbat when Louis
Napoleon is elected. Once more I repeat that I can
guarantee the exactitude of this news, which, joined to
the defeat of the people of Vienna, gives such courage
to the Prussian Camarilla."

This statement is corroborated by the fact that de-
tachments of Russian cavalry and infantry are
moving on Prussian Poland, and that it is believed the
Russian army has crossed to the left bank of the
Vistula. Thus Russia is supporting Austria on the
side of Hungary, in Wallachia, and Prussia on the
side of Poland.

To these intrigues the Metternich clique of the
English aristocracy are no strangers. The recent
visits of M. GUIZOT to all parts of England have not
been without an object.

The members of the Commission of Mercy went
on Sunday to the various prisons and liberated 149
of the insurgents of June, in honour of the promul-
gation of the Constitution.

The National Assembly met yesterday, and con-
tinued the discussion of the Budget.
The Constitutionne/ of yesterday declares in favour
of Louis NAPOLEON BONAPARTE.
BOURSE—PARIS, FRIDAY, NO-VENDER 13.
THREE O'CLOCB.—The Bourse opened to-day with
every appearance of firmness. The ceremony of the in-
auguration having passed off quietly, it was supposed

gave way, and closed fully per cent. below Saturday's

have declined 20c.; Five per Cents. have fallen 30e.;
