The Patric thus remarks on the speeches pro-
nounced at the United Service Club banquet :
" We confide in the sincerity of the sentiments and
wishes expressed on that occasion. We also desira
that the subject of the miserable trial of Bernard,
which has caused as much regret in England as in
France and the remainder of Europe, may be
allowed to drop for ever."
The Univers comments in the following terms on
the opinion given by the law officers of the Crown
on the seizure of the Cagliari :—" It must be con-
fessed that these famous lawyers have a singular
manner of reasoning, since they can discover
no motive for the capture of the Cagliari. A
vessel lands some hundreds of conspirators on
the Neapolitan coast, and the English law
officers, who are so scrupulous and delicate,
cannot understand the step taken by the King of
Naples, who, in their opinion, ought to have
thanked the captain of the vessel and have offered
to pay the passage money of the conspirators.
Charming simplicity I The Attorney-General, with
that good sense which distinguishes every English
man raised to a dignified post, discovers that it is
the duty of Piedmont and England to judge the
offences committed by their subjects in the k mg lore
of Naples. An indemnity will be asked for in the
name of the innocent engineers ; could one not
suppose that they had been seized on British terri-
tory ? We implore England not to claim an indem-
nity from France in the name of Simon Bernard and
his friends."

AUSTRIA.

The treaty of navigation concluded at Vienna
between the riverain States of the Danube has been
submitted by the Wurtemberg government to the
approbation of the chambers. In the preamble of
the bill on the subject, the government expresses
its opinion that this treaty in no way weakens the
old riverain conventions, and that it even affords
to the navigation of the river certain facilities which
were before wanting. A question which has been
pending between the same government
and the mediatised lords, relative to the sup-
,
plementlry indemnities to be paid them in
compensation for cart tin privileges suppressed
or redeemed, threa`ens to terminate to the
detriment of the litter. The commirtee of the
Second Chamber in its report recommends the re
jection of the bill which the Government had pre
sented for the purpose of having the sanction of the
chambers to the arrangement come to.
The Austrian, Gazette publiihes the following re-
marks on the acqu ttal of Bernard :
" Such a state of things cannot be maintained
even fora very short period. Ihe grand jury which
is formed of the civilised world will not hesitate to
deliver a verdict of conde-n nation against the
right of asylum, such as it is now practised in
England. Suppose for a moment that all the
States were to adopt the English principle, such
a regime would throw us back for 1,000 years
into b trbarisen. Each State would declare be-
yond the reach of the law the subjects of another
State, and approve of all the crimes which, being
prepared on its territory, should be perpetrated iu
another. There is no State that could tolerate a
system under the protection of which Bernard and
his accomplices may continue for the future what
they have been hitherto constantly doing. Ac-
cording to the revelations furnished by the Bernard
trial, the Government and the English people will
be, as much as Orsini, Pierri, ar.d Bernard, respon-
sible for the blood shed in such attempts as that of
the Rue Lepelletier. If the English Parliament will
not admit principles of right more eleva el than
those which animated the auditory of the Central
Criminal Court of the Old Bailey, there is an end
to the honour and grandeur of the English name."
