that means to Cadiz. There, at the end of about
three weeks, they were transfered in the bay of
Cadiz to the American ship David Stewart, 674
tons, Captain PRENTISS, bound originally for Bal-
timore. This American vessel—leaving one-third
of its freight as a guarantee for the faithful per-
formance of the contract entered into by its
American captain—was chartered to convey the
Italian exiles, sixty-six men, one woman, and two
children from Cadiz to New York, there to land
them on the shores of the New World, giving to
.each at the moment of release 120 dollars to'
begin life anew beyond the wide waste of the
Atlantic. Towed out from Cadiz, two hundred
miles to sea, by the Neapolitan war-steamer the
Stromboli, the American ship with its sixty-nine
Italians, but with a crew numbering only seven-
teen in all, was cast off by the Stromboli, and so
left with a fair wind from the east to find its way
in due course to its remote destination.
It is not very wonderful surely that the sixty-
six men of this historical group of exiles, worn out
by ten years' imprisonment, and wearied very
recently by two or three weeks' voyage, deter-
mined they would not be dragged across the
whole width of the Atlantic Ocean against
their owx will by a crew of seventeen. The dis-
proportion of numbers rendered the Neapolitans
supreme in the argument. The captain might
demur—did demur—refused to change his course,
as desired, from the United States to the United
Kingdom. No matter. The Italians, if needs
were, would work the ship themselves. Besides—
was there not an additional surprise in store for
the American skipper ? A handsome young
stripling suddenly throws off the disguise of one of
Captain PRENTIS'S own crew—and appears (conside-
rably to his personal advantage, we learn) clad in
a blue frock coat with gilt buttons, gold cap-band
&c., in fact, the uniform of a mate of one of the
Galway line of steamers. He is the son of LUIGI
SETTEMBRINI, one of the most conspicuous and
important of the exiles. It is young RAFFAELE
SETTEMBRINT, who, while really and truly acting
as a mate of the Galway line of steamers, receives
tidings of his father's conditional pardon, and of
his proposed destination, and who thereupon hastens
to the Spanish seaport, and under the disguise of a
sailor before the mast, appears—decidedly the
right man in the right place, and what is more
just at the right moment, on board the American
ship David Stewart, of Baltimore.

The result of all this is very naturally the ap-
pearance the other day in the Cove of Cork of the
over-mastered captain and crew with the mutinied
Italian passengers. The joy of the latter on land-
ing at Queenstown is like that manifested by
COLUMBUS when he first planted his glorious foot
upon the soil of San Salvador. They spring
on shore—they kneel and kiss the ground
where they stand for the first time, after so many
years, erect as freemen.. Is it not a vivid reminis-
cence of that immortal outburst of eloquence from
the lips of a native of that Irish soil—a reminder
of those sublime words of CURRAN—" I speak in
the spirit of the British law, which makes liberty
commensurate with, and inseparable from, British
soil—which proclaims even to the stranger and the
sojourner the moment he sets his foot upon British
earth, that the ground on which he treads is holy
and consecrated by the genius of universal emanci-
pation. No matter in what language his doom
may have been pronounced—no matter what com-
plexion incompatible -with freedom an Indian or
an African sun may have burnt upon him—no
matter in what disastrous battle the helm of his
liberty may have been cloven down—no matter
with what solemnities he may have been devoted
upon the altar of slarery--the moment he touches
the sacred soil of Britain, the altar and the god
sink together in the du st ; his soul walks abroad in
its own majesty; his la ody swells beyond the mea-
sure of his chains, which burst from around him,
and he stands redeen3.ed, regenerated, and disen-
thralled by the irresistible genius of universal
emancipation !" Happier years, let us hope now,
are in store for the Italian exiles but just now so
strangely and happiay landed at Queenstown,

Whatever course maytLhenee be followed by his com•
panions, it appears th a t the chief among them all
_ _

the Baron CARLOS P.OERIO, is himself bent upon
hastening forthwith to Turin—to be ready for any
emergency. Thither—to Turin—has already has-
tened GARIBALDI. It- is like the mustering to the
sound of the trumpet iin Sardinia.

PARIS, WEDNESDAY,

Some months ago the Umvers astounded the
world with the most circumstantial description of
an atrocious crime committel by some Jews of
Fokchany, in Wallachia. Ttey had seized on a
Christian lad and had subjected him to the most
horrible martyrdom before pitting him to death.
The statement of the Unimrs was too impor-
tant to be passed over in silence by the Wal-
lachian authorities, who ccnsequently appointed
a commission to investigate the matter.
This commission, which comprised dele-
gates from the French, English, Austrian'
Prussian, and Russian consulates at Bucha-
rest, and a Wallachian deputy, has concluded
its labours and published a report, which proves
the assertions of the Univers to be entirely false.
As the Debuts remarks :—" Nothing shows that
the Jews had been even suspected of the crime im-
puted to them. It would appear, on the contrary,
that the suspicions of the authorities had been
directed towards a member of the family to which
the murdered child belonged. The report of the
medical men on the corpse does not mention any of
the signs of martyrdom recorded by the Univers
and the Bien Public of Ghent."

only the happiness and glory of the Rouman nation.
"May God and our fellow-citizens help us I"

We cannot better indicate the line of conduct which we
propose to follow in the government of Wallachia than by
reproducing literally those words which were repeated at
the moment of our elevation to the throne of Moldavia.

As a constitutional prince we respect all the rights of the
Elective Assembly, and our constant efforts will tend to the
development of the new institutions which are accorded to us
(octroyees) by Europe, as well as to the sincere practice of
the reforms required in our social system, and of the great
principles which serve as the basis of modern civilisation.

In order that these salutary reforms may conduce to onr
common welfare, we conjure all our fellow citizens, of what-
ever rank and position, to bury in oblivion the misunder-
standing and dissension of the past. It is only by means of
concord, of reciprocal affection among the children of the
same soil, and of perfect contentment among all classes of
society, that we can unite the whole vital force of the na-
tion, and succeed in consolidating its power. It is thus that
Government and people, aiding each other, will succeed in
raising our country from the low condition to which long
and lamentable vicissitudes have reduced her.

Our task is glorious, but it is difficult. To accomplish it
we must count on the serious and devoted co-operation of
all our fellow-citizens. Each day of our existence will be
devoted to the obtaining and meriting it.
We appeal to the zeal, the activity, the patriotism of the
functionaries who are the intermediate organs between the
Government and those to whom they minister. The laws
have fallen into desuetude, and with them all the adminis-
trative powers. The laws must recover their full authority.
The executive power, which is henceforth to be the expres-
sion of the strictest legality, ought consequently to be strong
and respected. Henceforth, all citizens, without exception,
must be protected in their honour, their life, and property.
That protection is placed under the responsibility of the
public authority.

In proportion as we are happy to discover and to reward
the merit, devotedness, and loyal services of functionaries of
every class we are also resolved to visit abuses with all the
severity of the laws, under what form soever they may
appear.

Such is our profession of faith. We owe it to the Wal-
lachians, as we owed it to the Moldavian. It testifies to the
grandeur and the importance of the mission which has
been entrusted to us by the national will. We courageously
accept it, and we will carry it out successfully, counting on
the intelligent and devoted co-operation of a people who de-
sire to be regenerated, and to show themselves worthy of
the name of the Rouman nation.

Let our countrymen hear the wishes of their Prince and
brother, and may God bestow his blessing on the united
Principalities.

Given at our princely residence of Wallachia, at Bucha
fit, this Bth (20th) day of February, of the year of Chrisi
1859, and the first of our reign over the Principalities.

" The accounts from Vienna," says the Nord,
"are favourable. One of our correspondents informs
us that Lord Cowley is said to have expressed
himself as being certain of success. It is, moreover,
stated that by the time his lordship leaves the
Austrian capital, the bases of an arrangement of a
nature to be favourably received by all the groat
Powers will have been decided on."

Despatches received from Bucharest by the Presse
d' Orient state that the most perfect tranquillity
prevails in the two principalities. They also con-
firm the prudent and reserved attitude assumed by
Prince Alexander John, and declare that all his
attention is confined for the moment to securing
the regular working of the existing organisation of
Wallachia. The consuls are said to be well satisfied
with the measures adopted by the Prince.

According to advices from Vienna, M. Steege,
delegate of Prince Couza, has been received by
Count de Buol, but the latter has refused an official
letter of which M. Steege was the bearer, in conse-
quence of the Prince notifying in it to the Court of
Vienna his double election.

The Augsburg Gazette announces that at Munich,

plaining its reasons for the vote,

DUBLIN, THURSDAY,

THE PHUINIX CLUB PROSECUTIONS.
The Attorney-General having concluded his state-
ment on Tuesday evening, Daniel Sullivan, the
approver, was put upon the table. The examina-
tion of this witness consumed the remainder of the
day, and up to post-hour yesterday his cross-exami-
nation had not concluded. In reply to Mr.
O'Hagan, Sullivan, admitting that he was an in-
former, swore he was sorry to have such an interest
in the case, but he expected to get his living by it,
for he could not live at home ; and, being further
pressed by counsel, he said he expected to be pro-
vided for by the Crown.

DREADFUL MURDER.
The model county of Wexford has just been the
scene of a most brutal murder, which was com-
mitted on Sunday evening at a place called Torley-
hill, near the town of Gorey. The victim is
described as an inoffensive old man, bordering on
fourscore years, named Edward Dourneen. The
particulars are thus given in the local papers :
" The deceased was the possessor of a farm of about 100
acres of land, which he had inherited from a late brother, a
son of whom is believed to be one of the guilty parties con-
cerned in the outrage. From what we can learn it would
appear that the deceased brother left his property on condi-
tion that a sum of money should be paid to James Dour-
neen, his son, and that the murdered man, having complied
with that clause in his brother's will, was anxious to obtain
the property for his own use, possession of which, how-
ever, was refused him by the parties living thereon as
tenants. Law proceedings wera threatened for the purpose
of obtaining possession, to, frustrate which, it is said, the
diabolical outrage has been committed. The body, which
showed a bullet wound entering at the back, a little under
the left shoulder blade, the ball passing right through and
lodging in the clothes, was found lying on the road about
eight o'clock in the evening, and presented the appearance
of having been dead for some time. The police have arrested
three brothers, named Edward, William, and Martin Doyle,
as well as James Dourneen, on suspicion of being the actors
in this murderous tragedy."
