was tried at the Quarter Sessions of Ballymote, on
Saturday last, on a charge of having indecentli
assaulted Elizabeth Montagu, an Englishwomaof

berate, but eventually they brought in a verdict of
guilty of common assault. In passing senteneot

said :

" Mr. Hall Dare, a very painful duty devolves upon me•
You have been found guilty of a common assault, and!'
have consulted my brother magistrates, and we consider it
to be cur duty to impose upon you a punishment the
will mark our disapprobation of your conduct, and) show It°
the public that, no matter how high the position of a part/
unfortunately guilty of such an offence, the law must take
its course with regard to him. For these considerations wo
feel it to be our duty to sentence you to one month's impri:
sonment, and that you pay a fine of £5, together with XlO
which have been incurred as expenses by the prosecutrix.

in Parliam6nt, and a few years ago became the put'
chaser, under the Encumbered Estates Court, of the
Perceval property, in the county of Sligo, since
which he has resided constantly in Ireland. The
whole affair has, of course, created great interest 10

LOUIS NAPOLEON sg- SWI2ZE.RLANni

It is well known that, in the autumn of 18381
when Switzerland called out her troops in order to
support, in defiance of France, her right of keeping
within her territory a citizen of Sallenstein, in the
canton of Thurgovia, a certain gentleman named
Louis Napoleon Bonaparte, in order to prevent 0
sanguinary conflict, voluntarily quitted the eountri'
On that occasion he wrote a letter to the Govern"
ment of Thurgovia, from which the following par
sages are taken, and which it may be useful to re'
print at the present nrument :
" Switzerland has shown for the last month, bf
its energetic protests, and now by the decisions °
such of the great councils as have hitherto been
assembled, that she was ready to make the great
sacrifices for the sake of her dignity and her rights'
She has known how to do her duty as au indePelli

remain true to the voice of honour. I may be Pel;
secuted, but I never will be debased. The Fon%
Government having declared that the refusal of the
Diet to yield to its demands would be the signal for
e,
a conflagration of which Switzerland might $
come the victim, I have no choice but to leave
country where my presence is the cause of such l;
just pretensions, and where it might becotoe,bis
pretext for groat calamities. On quitting ,

Europe I have met with support androteet°

me in so many ways, I hope to prove t° y
Swiss people that I was worthy of the 1131:70.8
marks of esteem and affection which they able
lavished upon me. I shall never forget the niiew.
conduct of the cantons who have pronounced them
selves with so much courage in my favour;
above all, the generous protection which the c011:0.,
of Thurgovia afforded me will remain deepll

graved on my heart.
" I hope that this separation will not be for even

without compromising the interests of two nO

which ought to remain friends, to :find again A
asylum in which a residence of twenty years tal"
acquired rights had given me a second country.
" I request, M. Landamman, that you will cova

Switzerland can alone soften the regrets which
