7NIONTALEMBERT'S APPEAL

PARIS, TUESDAY.

The Chamber of Appeal for matters of Correc-
tional Police was summoned for this day to decide
on an appeal by the Count de Montalembert against
a judgment of the Tribunal of Correctional Police
for Paris, of the 24th November, by which he was
condemned to six months' imprisonment and a fine
of 3,000 francs, as author of an article inserted on
the 25th October in the Correspondant.
The Court assembled at a quarter past eleven.
M. le Consciller Treilhard made the report of the
case. Immediately afterwards M. Dufaure spoke
on behalf of M. de Montalembert. The Procureur-
General, M. Chaix d'Est Ante, supported the deci-
sion appealed against, and M. l3erryer replied.
The Court, after having retired to deliberate, de-
livered its judgment, in which it declared M. de
Montalembert guilty of exciting hatred and con-
tempt against the Government, and of an attack on
the respect due to the laws, and on the inviolability
of the rights which they have solemnly conferred.
It acquitted him of the charge of having attacked
the principle of universal suffrage and the rights
and authority which the Chief of the State derives
from the constitution.

The Court, in conclusion, condemned M. de
Montalembert to three months' imprisonment, a fine
of 3,000 francs, and the costs of the appeal, and
fixed twelve months as the period within which
these payments must be made, under penalty of
further imprisonment.
The Court rose at a quarter before eight o'clock.

Reuter's office this day :

FRANCE.

PARIS, TUESDAY.

A Paris letter in the Independence of Brussels
states that three commissions have been formed of
members of the Superior Council for Algerian
Affairs. One which has already been mentioned
is to occupy itself with public works ; a second
will have to examine the question of railways in
Algeria; and a third will be charged with questions
relative to colonisation and the delimitation of land.
The same letter states that it is in comtemplation
to establish on the coast of Africa a superior func-
tionary with the title of General Immigration
Commissioner, and who will be charged with the
surveillance of these operations. He will have
under his orders four inspectors invested with
similar functions.

The Siecle has a new version about the alleged
circular and verbal notes of Count de Cavour :
"Notwithstanding the assertion that neither exists,
it must be remembered that there is no smoke with-
out fire. It appears that since the Eastern war the
Sardinian Minister of Foreign Affairs has been
having lithographed every month, instructions
Which are not destined for publicity, but which he
sends to the diplomatic agents of Sardinia abroad.
It is said that it is in these private instructions
he painted in dark colours the situation of Italy,
whilst at the same time he declared that nothing
had occurred calculated to change the coolness be-
tween Austria and Piedmont into.open hostility."
