LETTER FROM GEORGE SAND

Madame George Sand, in the preface to a romance
which she is now publishing, in the Revue des Deux
Morales, under the title of " Cadio," relates an epi-
sode of the days of the June insurrection, which has
created a good deal of talk at Paris. The passage
in question was reproduced by some journals and
commented upon by others. Amongst the latter
are the Nain Jaune and the Soleil, and a Govern-
ment prosecution has commenced against them. On
this subject Madan:e Saud writes to the Liberte of
yesterday as follows.:—

I hear with the greatest surprise that some
journalists are threatened with actions for having
extracted a fragment from the preface to the
romance of " Cadio," of which lam the author. If
this passage is dangerous, which I do not believe,
why are those who quoted it more blameable than
she who wrote it?. Will it be said that in relating
an historical fact, hitherto untold, there is any wish
to revive slumbering hatreds? In reading the
whole of the preface, and the whole of the romance
of " Cadio," it is easy to see that the object of the
work is diametrically opposed to such an intention ;
that the author is, as it were, withdrawn from her
work in order to let history speak, and history
proves that the holiest causes are often lost when
men are carried away by the delirium of vengeance.
If horror of cruelty, from whatever side, has ever
pained and troubled a human soul, I may say
that the romance of " Cadio" is rent from that
wounded spirit, and that the author, to preserve
her faith, has had to struggle against the terrible
spectre of the past. It is impossible to study certain
epochs and to visit the spots where certain atrocious
scenes took place, without being tanpted to pro-
scribe the spirit of contest and to aspire for peace at
any price. But " peace at any price" is a delusion;
and what is gained by cowardice is but a ferocious
destruction which refuses even the miserable benefit
of a lingering death. It is not, then, by the sacri-
fice of human dignity that one will ever be enabled
to secure rest ; it is by free discussion, and
by that alone, that men can be fitted to engage
in social struggles without feeling a horrible wish
to cut each other's throats. Let discussion be really
established in order that it may become impartial.
Every stifling of thought, every effort to suppress
truth, will raise storms, and the storms will sooner
or later sweep away those who provoke them. Shall
it be said that we must not seek in a too recent past
the teachings of history ? Where, then, shall we
find them better adapted to the need we have of
profiting by them ? Is it the Greeks or the Ro-
mans who will reveal to us the dangers and hopes of
our future? Their historic course and the philoso-
phic idea of their destiny are not applicable to us;
and, moreover, it is always in the experience of his
own life that man finds power to conquer himself or
to develope himself. Wby should a Government that
sprung from our most recent struggles, the revolu-
tions of 1789 and 1848, take part for or against the
actors in a drama in two parts, both of which have
been profitable to it ? And then, beware of perse-
cutions against history, for in wishing to hinder
what she might do, you would do it yourselves with
a publicity, an éclat, and a noise which we have not
at our command. No one can cherish a hope of
suppressing the past. God himself would not be
able to undo it. What purpose was served by the
desperate persecutions of the Restoration against
you, gentlemen, who are now in power ? They did
you the service of making you victims, and leading
to you the liberalism of that epoch. Make, then, no
victims, unless you wish not to turn us into friends.
Leave history to create itself by means of discus-
sion and teaching, by polemics and literature : thus
only will she unfold herself with the calm which
you prescribe. Do not compel her to be unuttered
save when supported by her terrible armoury of
proofs. There would be too much of this, and you
would youroolves be terrified a t +l,. to which
the present has placed in reserve for the future.
history would make itself too quickly, and we are
the first to wish that it may come at its own time,
like every serious addition to human knowledge.
GEORGE SAND.

11. LABOUCHERE.

Naval and Military Intelligence.

Yesterday a troop of the 15th hussars, com-
manded by Capt. Mansell; arrived at Windsor from
Aldershot. The men and horses were billetted in
the town, and this morning will leave for Norwich,
where the headquarters of the regiment will at
present be stationed.
The three batteries of Royal Artillery belonging
to the sth Brigade some time under orders at Wool-
wich for India are to embark on board her Majesty's
iron troopship Serapis, Capt. John C. Soady, on the
sth proximo. The strength of each battery is 80 of
all ranks, including GO gunners.

The tenders issued by the India Board for the
manufacture of the new pack saddles for the Abys-
sinian campaign have been accepted by the follow-
ing accoutrement and harness contractors :—Messrs.
Tibbetts and Co., Bryant and Co., and Ross and
Co., of Bermondsey, to whom patterns have been
supplied from the department of the Superintendent
of Stores at Woolwich. The two batteries of moun-
tain steel guns and their entire equipment will be
ready for shipment at Woolwich, it is stated, at the
end of the present week. One of the batteries is
complete, and has withstood the proof test with 71oz.
of powder exceedingly well, as also the extreme
range fired at, 2,500 yards. They are made from
patterns, five in number, which have been in the
sealed pattern room of the Royal gun factories at
Woolwich about two years, and were intended for
service in India. The present guns, however, are
considerably reduced in weight, the pattern guns
weighing 14 cwt., and the Abyssinian guns 1501 b.
each. The blocks of steel were supplied by Mr.
Firth, of Newcastle. The bright, silvery appear-
ance of these toy-looking guns, with their destruc-
tive capabilities, even at long range, are looked on
by admiring visitors with curiosity and interest.
They are rifled on what is termed the French prin-
ciple—namely, three grooves.
An order was yesterday received at Chatham gar-
rison directing an additional party of non- commis-
sioned officers and orderlies of the Army Hospital
Corps to proceed from Fort Pitt, in readiness for
embarkation with the detachments of the corps
about proceeding with the Abyssinian Expedition.
The general court martial engaged on the trial of
private Michael Nash, Ist battalion Bth Regiment,
re-assembled at Chatham yesterday, under the pre-
sidency of Col. R. Crofton, and was occupied the
whole day in hearing additional evidence for the
prosecution.
The War Department store vessel Helena, Mr.
Moors, master in charge, laden with three 121-ton
guns, 60 tons of stores from the Tower, consisting
of arms, camp equipage, and other stores, sailed
yesterday from Woolwich Arsenal for Portsmouth ;
and the Thames, Mr. Hornsey, master, commenced
discharging shot and shell from Chatham and Upnor
Castle at Woolwich, landed from her Majesty's ships
of the line ordered from foreign stations. Thp Mar-
mnrn. frp;old- .I,;r ..0 Trvut with Arsenal and
received 174 Palliser shot and shell, and sailed yes-
terday for Vancouver's Island.
The unarmoured screw steamer Trafalgar, 72,
2,900 tons, 500 horse power (nominal), attached to
the steam reserve in the Medway, is undergoing a
thorough overhaul and refit, both inboard and aloft,
previously to being again placed in commission. It
is understood that she is intended to be stationed at
one of the Irish ports.
The screw frigate Forte, 29, 2,364 tons, 400 horse
power, unarmoured, belonging to the steam reserve
in the Medway, has been removed into the steam
basin for the purpose of being taken in hand, and
brought forward for the pennant.
