son of her soil, one who swore allegiance to her Re-
publican institutions, and who since then has preserved
that oath in its fullest integrity, despite the witcheries
of an infinite number of scarcely resistible tempta-
tions. In honesty, in justice, in truth, these things
should not be forgotten ; but above them all should
be remembered during the whole of the approaching
crisis the dearest and loftiest interests of the
Democracy.

We would direct the attention of our readers to a
letter on the subject of the Papal aggression signed a
"Tinplate Worker," which appears in another column.
The writer treats.the subject admirably, and we re-
commend the GRAHAM and GLADSTONE " clique" of
the House of Commons to attentively consider the
arguments of the " Tinplate Worker" and learn pru-
dence. The " Tinplate Worker" asks whether the
Roman Catholics consider that he, a Scotch Cove-
nanter, ought to have the same right to promulgate
his opinions in Rome, and in Spain, and in Austria,
as they now deinand of us. In answer to this de-
mand of the Tinplate Worker we publish the edict of
a Rowan Catholic court of law inflicting a
heavy punishment upon persons for reading
the Bible, and setting firth as the reason for the in-
fliction of such punishment, that the perusal of the
sacred Scriptures " might inspire sentiments and reli •
pious principles contrary to those of the Catholic
Roman and Apostolic religion," end this edict was is-
sued not some centuries since, in the dark ages, but in
this very year of grace 1851, not one month since.
That edict is as follows:
'' EXTRACT FROM THE REGISTER OF THE DELIBERA-
TIONS OF THE PREFECTURE t.F THE DEPARTMENT
OF FLORENCE.
"Sitting of 16th May, 1851.
"Seeing that it is proved that on the evening of the
7th May instant, the undememed, Fidclo Betti, Count
Peter Guieciardini, Cesar Msgrini, Angiolo Guardia:el,
Charles Solaini. Stsbatino Borsteri, and Joseph Guerra
were seized whilst sitting round a table in the house of
the said Fidt ;

" Seeing that it appears from the declarations of the
accused themselves mat at the moment of their arrest
Count Guicciardini was reading and commenting on a
chapter in the Gospel of St. John, iu the Italian transla-
tion, attributed to John Diodati i •
" Seeing that it appears by sufficient proofs that this
reading and this commentary could have no other
end, but to inspire sentiments and religious principles
contrary to those of the Catholic Apostolic and Roman
religion ;

" Having c,nsidersci Article 2 of the Decree of the
25;h April, 1851, the Court orders the imprisonment for
.ix mouths of Count Guicciardini, at Volterra; of Cesar
Magrini, at Montieri; of Angiolo Guarducci, at Giun-
carico; of Fidele Betti, at Orbitello; i f Charles Sohull,
at Cioiglano; of Sabatino Borsiert, at Rocca Strada; and
of Joseph Guerra, at Piombiao.

" A true cupy.-:-For the Secretary,
" A. Semenctit, First Commissioner."
In order properly to appreciate the bearing of this
sentence, it should be remembered that Volterra is
situated in the centre of the most deadly district of
the Mumma, that the summer months are in that
district the most fatal, and that therefore the sen-
tence of Count GUICCIARDINI is tantamount to a sen-

tence of death. If the Ecclesiastical Titles Bill pro-
posed to punish the Papal usurpers of territorial
titles with six months' imprisonment in the common
goal of Sierra Leone, such a sentence would scarcely
equal in severity the sentence passed upon Count
PErEZ GIJICCIARDINI. Most truly did Mr.
Jowl REYNOLDS say that be as a Ro-

manist abhorred toleration—as a proof of it we ap-
peal to this sentence of the Court of Florence. What
the Romanist brawlers mean by liberty is, liberty to
persecute and to destroy all who differ from them ; as
the thief means by liberty, liberty to rob, and the
chug, liberty to cut throats. Therefore, even as we
place the thief and the Thug under wholesome re-

straint, even as we refuse to permit children to meddle
with firearms or with fire, so it is not persecution, but
purely self-defence, to keep the physical power a little
in check (,f those who are so completely the slaves of
their sacerdotal masters that they literally and truly
" dare not call their souls their own."

THE FRE.NCH REPUBLIC

We have received the Paris journals of yesterday.
They continue at considerable length their disqui-
sitions on the real composition of the Committee on
the Revision of the Constitution. Since it now appears
next to a certainty that the question of a revision will
be decided negatively, the manner in which the Com-
mittee is made up is a matter of comparative indiffer-

The Ordre is very severe against the Bonapartists,
charging them with being the only section of the
party ot order which wants to upset the Constitution.
It appeals to Conservatives to unite on the ground of
maintenance of law ; and advises that petitions in
favour of revision be henceforth discouraged, as calcu-
lated to mislead the people, by raising their expecta-
tions of a revision being intended, which is now found
to be impossible.
The Opinion Publique considers that the proceed-
ings which have just taken place in the bureaux, put
all hopes of a revision being carried in a legal manner
out of the question.
The Constitutionnel makes an effort at reconciling
the Legislative and Executive powers, by showing
hat each had committed faults, with this difference,
that Louis NAPOLEON, always ready to recognise an
error whenever led into such, merits the consideration
due to an honest, well-intentioned man. The country
has plainly spoken in his favour—it desires the Re-
public, with Louis NAPOLEON at its head; and all
differences, observes the Constitutionnel, ought to give
way before the general will, calmly and energetically
expressed.
A manifesto from the European Central Democra-
tic Committee has appeared. The document, after
declaring that the object in view is to form a holy
alliance of nations, the device of which ought to be
liberty, association, and employment; and after
stating that the committee desires neither anarchy nor
scenes of terror, proceeds thus :
" The mission of the Central Committee is European,
and its work is one of an international character. Tu
rally the Efforts of the various populations to a common
source and inspiration; to represent in action the con-
joint responsibility which exists between the emancipa-
tion of each of them and that of all; to strengthen the
ranks of those combating for the holy cause of right,
wherever they are to be round; to prepare the ground
for an alliance of those nations which shall gain the vic-
tory over that stow in force amongst kings, for a congress
of nations which shall replace that of Vienna, still exist-
ing and in action; to remodel, according to the wishes
of the populations, the map of Europe; to smooth down
the obstacles which the pr..judices of race, the reminis-
cences of monarchical wars, and the artifices of govern-
ments opposed to that prospect—such is the object of
our eoli.-ctive labour.
"'that object evidently cannot be attained unless it
takes fur its railing point a common ground—viz, that
of the national sovereignty for each people, and 1:f the
alliance, on the basis of equality ot all emancipated
nations.

more willingly, seeing that in the living repreAenta-
tive of the house of BONAPARTE she beholds a faithful

responsibility, and of sovereign liberty. Tbat is the first
step to take, that is the tint round to be ascended on
the ladder of progres:,ive, national, and European educa•
Lion. The central committee occupies itself the more
with this as it is forgotten by others. The men who
compose it, and those who labour with them, do not
think of contemplating the solitary production of their
own intelligence; they think of stirring up the internr
genes of all and calling into the arena. They do not
content themselves with thinking, they think of acting.
That ought to be now the mot d'ordre of every patriot.

" London, June 1."

In consequence of some words exchanged between
M. PIERRE BONAPARTE and M. DE NIEUWERKERQUE,
Director-General of the National Museums, a hostile
meeting took place on Monday morning in the Bois
de Boulogne, the weapon agreed on being the sword.
After a combat which lasted several minures, and in
the course of which two swords were broken, M DE
NIEUWERHERQUE received a wound in the right
thigh. The seconds then interfered, and put an end
to the combat.

The Messager de l'Assemblie says :—" It is
affirmed that General RANDON has applied for and
obtained the G.veroment of Aig.-ria, in the place of
General D'llAuTPour.; and that the portfolio of the
War D-partment is to Le transferred to General
AUPICK."

The Municipal C ,rporation of Poictiers has voted
30,000 f. for the fetes to be given on the occasion of
the inaugur4tion of the rail way to that town. A de-
putation is to come to Paris to invite the PRESIDENT
for the occasion.

General NARVAEZ has left Paris for London, to
visit the Ex ibition.

Madrid journals of the sth have arrived.

The report of the Committee on the law for raising
25,000 soldiers, which has already passed the Chamber
of Deputies, was read on that day in the Senate.
In answer to questions put by Senor OLIVER
on the events passing in Portugal, the Minister for
Foreign At-Elks replied that he would enter into the
subject at the next sitting.
General O'DONNELL, having frankly declared him-
self in opposition to the Ministry, proceeded to inter-
rogate the Minister of War on the way he disposed
of the commis ions in the army and navy, to which
that official answered with some warmth.

Seeing other Senators dispposed to join in what
was likely to become an angry discussion,
The President of the Senate suddenly closed the
sitting.
