FRANCE.

The National has the following on the candidate-
ship of the Prince de Joinville :—" It was stated
yesterday at the Bourse that the Journal des Debats
was to publish this morning a manifesto of M. de
Joinville. This document was said to have been
written under the dictation of M. de Joinville, in
presence of five or six friends of the Orleans family,
who went to London to demonstrate the necessity
of taking a very decided attitude in presence of the
haughty pretensions avowed by the partisans of
another competitor. We can affirm that a person,
well known on the Bourse, road passages from a
document which he affirmed that he had copied
from the original, remitted to the Journal des
Dibats. It was added that the Orleanists would at
the same time announce the candidateship of M. de
Joinville to the place of representative vacant in the
department of the Seine. Enthusiasts went further,
and asserted that the success of the candidateship
being certain, the new representative would be elected
to the presidency of the Assembly. These, however,
are but the usual ornamental commentaries. The
candidateship of a member of the family of Orleans
can only excite on the Bourse movements of joy and
hopes of success ; but what has appeared serious to us
amidst the commentaries of the violent men of the
Parquet and the Coulisse, is the announcement of a
manifesto. We nevertheless make all reserve on this
piece of news from a suspected source, and mention
without guaranteeing it."

THE NEAPOLITAN ATROCITIES.

The Indipendance of Brussels publishes the follow-
ing note addressed by Lord Palmerston to Prince
Castelcicala, the Neapolitan Minister in London :
" I have had the honour to receive your letter of
the 9th, accompanied by a pamphlet intituled The
Neapolitan Government and Mr. Gladstone,' and
copies of which you beg me to forward to the royal
ambassadors at the different courts of Europe. I beg
to reply that I cannot accede to your request, not
wishing to assist in dissimulating a publication which,
in my opinion, neither does honour to its author nor to
the Government which it seeks to defend, nor to the
political party of which be makes himself the cham-
pion. I feel myself compelled to declare that the
letters of Mr. Gladstone to Lord Aberdeen present
the sad picture of a system of illegality, injus-
tice, and cruelty, such as no one could believe could
have been practised in our day in a European coun-
try. The information which I have obtained from
different sources have led me to the conclusion that
the English writer has in no way exaggerated the
evils which he depicts. On the contrary, the author
appears to have for object to call public attention to
abuses which, if they were to continue, would neces-
sarily overthrow the foundation of the Neapolitan
Government, and would open the road to those violent
explosions which, sooner or later, burst forth when
injustice is prolonged and aggravated. The Neapo-
litan Government besides deceives itself if it thinks
that a tissue of unfounded assertions and hazarded
contradictions, mingled with gross attacks on political
parties, will render it any real service, and assist in
attaining the object it pursues. In conclusion, I will
remark that, in the publications of M'Farlance are
contained direct and indirect avowals which, contrary
to his intention, confirm rather than destroy this
conviction.
