WEDNESDAY EVENING. OCTOBER

House of ORLEANS ; a Provisional Government ; a
Republic with a Presidency—each species of adminis-
tration has been tried in succession, and each trial has
resulted in a failure altogether deplorable, until the
surrounding nations begin at length to regard with
incredulity the possibility of any satisfactory settle-
ment of the political difficulties experienced by the
population. Speaking, therefore, of the very
different attitude capable of being assumed
by England when contrasted with that
forced upon France by circumstances, the Journal des
Debuts remarks, with much significance, " England
has not now, happily for her, to seek out her form of
government : she has found it, and she keeps it." As
if it were exclaimed, in addition—Not to France,
still searching for a constitution as undiscoverable, ap-
parently, as the serum potubile, or perpetual motion,
or the quadrature of the circle ! England, continues
the Journal des Debats, " has no occasion for civil
war ; she has no elder or younger branch, no imperial
pretensions, no republican conspiracies;" and then,
quoting the memorable sentence of Lord BACON, adds
—" The movement of the great influences in a go-
vernment ought to be like that of the planets, under
a primum mobile ; that is to say, that each of them
was carried away in the superior movement, while it
accomplished at the same time its proper movement."

men to their faces, yet he performed it with such ad-
vantage of truth, and avoidance of flattery, and with
such life, as was much applauded by the hearers.
The KING was the less pleased with it, not loving the
man, and by way of discountenance said, ' It was easy
to be a good orator in a pleasing theme. But,' saith
he to him, turn your style and tell us now of our
faults, that we may have the profit and not you the
praise only ;' which he presently did with such quick-
ness, thatALexaNDEa. said, ' That malice made him
eloquent then, as the theme had done before.' " Better
for France would it prove were she, even through
the incitement of malevolence, to listen more fre-
quently rather to the criticism than to the eulogium
pronounced upon herself by the emulators of CAL-
LISTLIENEL

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

We have received the Paris journals of yesterday.
The trill of M. ROUT', the responsible editor of the
Presse (who had allowed judgment to go by default
as on tae, first trial), for publishing the letter of M.
VICTOR. HUGO to M. VACQUERIE, the editor of the
Avenement, came on yesterday before the Court of
Assizes of the Seine. After a long trial, the jury
brought in a verdict of mot guilty, and M. Hour was
at once discharged. This acquittal is recorded with
extraordinary marks of satisfaction by a great mans
papers, who think they see in it a sign of conscious-
ness on the part of the Court and jury that the ex-
treme limit of legal persecution has been reached.
The Siècle says :
'• We wrote some days ago—' Times change and
juries also.' The jury has changed. The spirit which
animated the past condemnations has made way for
another spirit which we applaud this time with all our
heart. Our readers know what accusation weighed on
the responsible editor of the Pres.e. The jury has
done justice on it. May the verdict given yesterday
inaugurate a new era ! The Ministry had need of a
lesson, and has received it. The vein being no longer
the same, we may now hope for some days' respite. We
congratulate the Presse, and we congratulate ourselves
also."
The Democrat du Rhin is the latest seizure in the
present crusade against the press. It is to be hoped,
however, that the outrageous attempt against the
liberty of the press, which has received so signal a
defeat in the acquittal of M. ROUT, may deal a
heavy blow and great discouragement to the enemies
of its freedom. _ _ _

There is a rumour of the decline of M. LEON FAU-
CHER in the affections of the Chief Magistrate. His
want of discretion is said to have shocked as much as
it has surprised the PRESIDENT of the Republic, who
seems to have thought that awkwardness of manner
and want of eloquence arose simply from reserve and
from good sense. The triumphal entry into Rheims,
and the mimicry in that city of the PTESIDENT'S re-
view and reception, followed by the boasting speech
at Chalons, have all tended, it is said, to deprive the
implacable persecutor of the press of the supposed sign
it had afforded of heroic courage, arising from clear
perceptions of duty and principle. With M. FAUCHER
it is rumoured that the Minister of Justice, identified
with him in this unparalleled persecution, must also
turn out. M. ODILON BAREOT is talked of as the
new Premier, and he will be prepared to propose a
modification of the electoral law of the 31st May,
which, while it offends the Republicans, is the great
obstacle to the PRESIDENT'S own chance of having
his powers renewed through a vivid manifestation of
popular feeling.
The Procureur of the Republic has commenced a
prosecution of the Patrie for having published, in its
numbers of the 17th and 28th, sundry documents re-
lative to the plot of the French and foreign revolu-
tionary committees ; such publication being a viola.
tion of the law of the 29th July, 1849, which pro-
hibits the printing of papers connected with a criminal
case in course of investigation.
Apropos of the Belgian elections, the Univers con-
tains an attack upon King LEOPOLD, which must
serve to raise his MAJESTY in the esteem of enlight-
ened Europe. In this attack it includes the King of
PIEDMONT, and both on the same ground of conspir-
ing with revolutionists and heretics. The Fusionist
journal gives a melancholy proofpinoonsftianteghyte.o

of the miracle-mongering, heretic-burning Univers,
the Fusionist organ says—
"lt has for buckler truth and faith; its sword is
double-edged, and the hand which holds it firm and bold."
From the same paper, the Assonblee Nationale, we
take the following compliments to Mr. GLADSTONE :
"The Neapolitan Government has published a direct
reply to the calumnies of Mr. Gladstone. We shall
only make one remark upon it. The Neapolitan Go-
, vernment expresses itself with exemplary moderation,
indeed wo should say, with excessive moderation, on
the injustice and the violence directed against it. Its
only thought appeared to be to demonstrate the falsehood
of the English writer's assertions with regard to the
mode of trial for political offences, and the treatment of
political criminals in the kingdom of the Two Sicilies.
No man of good faith, after reading these explanations of
the Neapolitan Government, can hesitate in his opinion
about such lying assertions."
What will Lord ABERDEEN and Mr. GLADSTONE
think of their dear friend who "inspires," as the
French locution is, the politics of the Fusionist
journal ?

The Gazette de France says:—
" We learn that a meeting of the delegates of the
Electoral Committees du droit national of the six de-
partments of the south, lately held at ATignon, unani-
mously decided that M. do Larochejaquelcin shall be
the candidate of the Legitimatists for the Presidency."
Count BA.TTLIYANI, who arrived at Marseilles in the
Mississippi, with KOSSUTH and the other Hungarian
refugees, is at present in Paris, where he intends to
tale up his residence.

Madrid journals of the 25th have arrived.
Mr. LABOUCHERE arrived at Madrid the previous
morning. His stay will not exceed a week or ten
days, after which he will return to England.
The Committee on the Budget was continuing its
labours, and had effected considerable economies in the
estimates.
The English fleet under Admiral Sir W. PARKER

The severities lately exercised against the press
have had an opposite effect to what was probably in-
tended. The tribunals, though composed of judges
of first instance, removable at pleasure, have acquitted
the Epoca. Senor SEIJAS, late Minister of Public
Instruction, defended the journal. Two satirical
papers, the Alundo Nuevo and Illurga, both now de-
funct, have been prosecuted and acquitted. The
former was defended by Senor PAcuEco. Two pro-
vincial journals, the Nacional and the Progreso of
Cadiz, have also just been acquitted; and the fiscal, or
crown prosecutor, having appealed, in the case of
the ATacional, to the Audencia Court of Seville, the
latter has confirmed the sentence of the Cadiz
tribunal.

GERMANY.

The Emperor of AUSTRIA. is expected to return to
Vienna on the 6th of next month. He is to pass by
Innspruck and Munich. In the latter city his
MAJESTY is to have an interview with the King of
BAVARIA.

The municipality of Milan had an audience of the
EMPEROR at Monza on the 21st, in which they im-
plored his MAJESTY to grant-Ist, a diminution of
taxes; 2dly, a mitigation of the state of siege, par-
ticularly in so far as regards arms for self-defence,
and for the purposes of sporting; idly, a complete
political amnesty; 4thly, the restoration of the judi-
cial senate at Verona; and, lastly, the restoration of
the Central Assembly, as it existed before March,
1848. His MAJESTY is said to have received them
graciously, and to have held out some hopes to them
that these requests would be complied with.
Both in Milan and Peschiera, as well as Verona,
the EmrEaou granted full pardon to several political
offenders.

A COSTLY NAP.—On Wednesday evening a re-
spectable individual, residing not far from Alexandria, Dum-
bartonshire, made a rather unfortunate mistake, llaviug
been paying his respects to John Barleycorn rather too
freely in the course of the evening, it will not be wondered
at that he should have mistaken his road home, and that, in-
stead of keeping on the north, he found his way to the south
side of the river. Ile had, in fact, got the length of Muir
House-toll, at the head of Eglinton street, when feeling
sornewhaat bewildred as to his whereabout, he sat down at
the road-side to recollect himself. In the attempt, however,
he fell fast asleep, and only awakened in the morning to find
that he was still some twenty miles from his destination, sad
that a patent lever watch which he had in his pocket on the
preyioto evening was GOWN.... Glasgow Post.
